Chapter 1983: Chapter 1983: Ancient Demonic Egg_1 Chapter 1983: Chapter 1983: Ancient Demonic Egg_1 Salena Carpenter's technique was a mix of finesse and coarseness, appearing quite bizarre.

Her small hand slowly caressed the raw stone, moving at an incredibly slow pace.

The stonecutter was rather impatient and said, “At this rate, who knows when we'll finally see something.”

Ethan Smith glared at him and said, “Where'd you get the nerve to spout such nonsense? Shut your damn mouth.”

Although quite annoyed, the stonecutter didn't say anything else.

Time flew by and nearly an hour had passed in the blink of an eye. Salena had only managed to scrape off a thin layer in that time.

The stonecutter scoffed and said, “This is pointless. If there were any Dharma Treasure beneath just a thin layer of the stone's surface, someone would have taken it long ago. Even a fool could sense its presence.”

Although Ethan Smith was somewhat unhappy, he had to admit that the stonecutter did have a point.

A thin layer couldn't possibly preserve any essence.

As time went by, the stonecutter lost interest and stopped watching. The surrounding onlookers also drifted away, no longer paying attention to Salena and Ethan.

Even Ethan himself was starting to lose patience.

But he didn't say anything more. As long as Salena was happy, that's all that mattered.

Just as everyone had nearly forgotten about Salena's efforts, an intense aura suddenly emanated from the raw stone!

This aura carried a chilling coldness, and soon after, an extremely ancient scent was detected!

“Boom!”

At the same time, the sky outside underwent a sudden and drastic change. The previously clear sky was now covered in dark clouds!

The crowd could not help but be astonished at this sight!

“Is this… is this a vision? Did she really cut out a treasure?”

“No, this isn't a vision! Visions are accompanied by a seven-colored auspicious cloud. This is entirely different!”

“This… this doesn't seem like a vision. It looks more like the birth of something ominous…”

All eyes were quickly drawn to Salena's palms.

There was now a demonic egg in her hand. The egg was dark and emitted a powerful ancient aura.

This aura instantly alarmed everyone, including the person in charge of the gambling house, who came out to see what was happening.

Salena held the egg and looked extremely pleased.

“See? I told you I had good luck!” Salena said with a smile.

Ethan looked at the egg in her hand and couldn't help but frown.

For some reason, he felt that this egg might bring about a catastrophe.

“What is this thing? Why is it so strange?” The person in charge furrowed his brows.

Others felt the same, some even showing fear and indescribable horror on their faces.

“This matter must be reported to the elder,” the person in charge said solemnly.

As a key location for the Wilson family, the gambling house naturally had an elder present, and one with considerable status.

Before the person in charge could turn around to find him, the Wilson family's elder had already appeared.

With white hair hanging down to his shoulders and a long beard reaching nearly to the ground, he looked like a Daoist immortal.

“Elder.” Seeing the elderly man, the person in charge promptly bowed.

The elder did not acknowledge him and instead walked directly towards Salena.

It was clear that he had also been stirred by the intense aura.

Ethan's brow furrowed slightly as he instinctively stepped in front of Salena to protect her from any potential harm from the old man.

However, the elder ignored Ethan and kindly said, “Miss, could you let me take a look at the egg in your hand?”

Salena held the egg close to her chest and firmly refused, “No! This is mine, and I won't let you have it!”

The elder wasn't offended, instead smiling and assuring her, “Miss, don't worry, I won't take your treasure. I just want to take a look. Is that okay?”

“I said no!” Salena's posture remained resolute.

Ethan quickly stood in front of Salena and said, “Sir, my friend has already said no. Please don't insist any further.”

The elderly man looked at Ethan and said, “You must be Ethan Smith, right?”

Ethan felt a sense of unease but nodded, confirming, “Yes, I am Ethan Smith.”

“Oh, I've heard about your affairs with the Wilson family. But rest assured, I have no intention of getting involved in your disputes with them,” the elder laughed.

Despite his words, Ethan remained on guard.

“Miss, how about this: you can hold the egg, and I'll just take a look. Is that acceptable?” The elder continued to plead with Salena.

After considering for a moment and glancing at Ethan for guidance, Salena reluctantly agreed, “Fine, just look.”

The elder looked at the egg, his eyes emitting a hint of sharpness.

That sharpness enveloped the entire egg.

At this moment, the elder's divine sense seemed to enter the egg, and his expression became somewhat vacant.

The crowd held their breath, not daring to say anything. They all stared intently at the egg.

A few minutes later, a trace of panic appeared on the elder's face. In the next second, he stumbled back several steps and violently spat out a mouthful of blood!

“Elder!”

The people from the gambling house rushed forward to help him up.

“Elder, are you all right?” the person in charge asked anxiously.

The elder shook his head and stared intently at the egg in Salena's hand, his eyes filled with unease.

Ethan couldn't help but ask, “Sir, what did you see in the end?”

Without answering the question directly, the elder said gravely, “This egg… I'm afraid it might be an ancient demonic egg.”

“Ancient demonic egg? What is that?”

“It's definitely something from Ancient Times. The aura can't be mistaken.”

“A demon, it must be a demon! The strange phenomenon in the sky proves it all!” The surrounding crowd began to discuss this news fervently.

Ethan felt a slight uneasiness in his heart, but before he could speak, the elder said, “I suggest handing over this object to me for immediate destruction. Otherwise, it will surely bring disaster to the Holy Region.”

“No way! Old man, don't spout nonsense. I'm telling you, I cut this out myself. Nobody can take it away from me!” Salena held the egg tightly in her arms, her expression tense.

Ethan felt the same unease, but he also knew that the egg belonged to Salena and that it was her decision how to deal with it.

Therefore, Ethan stepped forward and said respectfully, “Sir, you did say earlier that you wouldn't take this away.”

The elder thought for a moment, then said, “How about this: I can offer money or other treasures in exchange for it. What do you think?”
