"Why is this guy so stubborn?" Xie Qi muttered, speechless, as he complained to 948.
A single incision would have confirmed he was alive, yet this guy had to keep cutting away at him! As it stood, he was essentially an immovable stone. It had taken every ounce of his remaining strength just to make the Mermaid Egg wobble; he never expected this fool to try and slice open his actual body. Right now, he didn't even have a physical form—all that remained inside the shell were bones that had long since turned to fossils. If he were subjected to such rough handling before he could reshape his body and regain his heartbeat—if the shell were forcibly cracked open—he would likely lose his only chance at ever hatching.
