The crisis ended like this.

As the last monster fell to the ground wailing under the sword of Knight Philip, there was no longer any living distortion on the battlefield, leaving only the skeletons that were constantly decomposing and drifting, as well as a group of soldiers who were about to exhaust their energy.

No new monsters rushed out of the mountains, and the loud bang like thunder could be heard in the direction of the dark mountains.

It took half a minute to take the lead and cheer first.

Then there were soldiers, militias, then civilians and serfs in the camp, cheers resounded across the southern bank of the Whitewater River, and everyone knew about the victory—and for those who had experienced the disaster of the Old Cecil, it had a particularly extraordinary significance.

The planners knew how many things were in this victory with the help of the right time and place, how many luck and risks were, and how many uncontrollable variables were, but most ordinary people didn't know that they only knew that hundreds of monsters were attacking from the south, almost ten times the number of camp combatants. But in less than half a day, these monsters were all destroyed, and even no one broke into the fence wall of the camp.

The huge psychological pressure was vented into carnival cheers at this time. Even Amber, who had just returned to the camp with Hetty, was infected and celebrated with the cheers.

After cheering for a while, she noticed that Gao Wen was not with everyone, so she grabbed the little maid Betty who passed by - the latter was holding a pile of potion bottles and following Druid Pittman: "Where is your master?"

Betty shook her head, "I don't know!"

"He is in the camp south," Pittman stopped, turned his head and said quickly, "It seems that the dragon egg is in trouble again. I won't tell you anymore, I'll send the potion first-there are many wounded!"

The old man and his maid ran away quickly. Amber looked around and felt that there was nothing he had done here, so he flashed and disappeared into the shadow.

In the tent in the south of the camp, Gao Wen and Rebecca had long heard the cheers resounding throughout the camp: the general situation was decided, and the crisis was passed safely. Just now, the Knights Byron had sent someone to inquire about the follow-up arrangements. Gao Wen sent a message to ask the two knights to carry out the aftermath of the battlefield first, while he and Rebecca stayed here for the time being, facing this stone ball that was suspected to be a "dragon egg".

The monster corpses outside the tent are rapidly disintegrating, and the remaining skeletons are collected by the soldiers and piled up to be naturally decomposed. However, the stone ball that had just shown its power has now returned to the tent. Now it is floating quietly dozens of centimeters above the ground, maintaining some embarrassing confrontation with Gao Wen.

"To be honest, I was really scary just now," the stone ball shook on the spot, and a metal tremolo sound came from inside, "Those... distortions are right? Why are they all suddenly coming towards me..."

"I don't know what attracts them, but you killed more than a dozen monsters with just one 'man'. Is it a shame to say that you were scared?" Gao Wen looked at the strange big ball with his eyes squinted, "And after a long time, you can not only move by yourself, but also speak... You have been pretending before that?"

Shiqiu was not ashamed at all (of course, I really couldn't see the expression from its surface): "Is it wrong to have a stronger self-protection awareness? I don't know your intentions, so I'll be more low-key. I originally wanted to observe for two more days, but today I suddenly heard the chaos outside, and there were a lot fewer soldiers guarding me, so I wanted to come out quietly to see the situation... I didn't know that as soon as I moved, all the monsters came!"

Gao Wen nodded. He had already figured out the whole story: the stone ball had obviously deliberately suppressed some of its "activity" before, so it had a thin sense of existence. Even Pittman discovered its life reaction by coincidence. But today, the monster attacked, and the stone ball felt that it might be an opportunity, so he tried to run out to death. As a result, the breath leaked out as soon as it was active. This leaked breath may not be anything to humans, but for those distorted bodies that consumed life and magic reactions, it was as conspicuous as the beacon in the night. Moreover, in the minds of those monsters, the life and magic reactions of this stone ball were obviously more "delicious", so the unexpected situation happened later.

Fortunately, everything ended up being in danger.

After thinking through this, Gao Wen couldn't help but look up and down at the crazy egg in front of him who almost succeeded in his life: "So are you still planning to run away now? I tell you that those monsters are just a small wave of wandering over. If you want to run under their noses, no one can save you."

Rebecca next to him knew that his ancestors were scaring people...dan, but Shiqiu didn't know the real situation, so he was naturally frightened: "Oh--I won't run away, this place is too dangerous. And then again... I'm a little convinced now that you said before."

"Oh?" Gao Wen raised his eyebrows, "What do you believe?"

"You guys and those who arrested me into the laboratory back then... should really be in the same group."

Gao Wen felt it was interesting. He was about to ask how it made a judgment, but from the corner of his eyes he saw an amber popping out of the shadow in the corner of the tent. The half-elf lady had obviously heard the conversation just now, and asked whistle, "How did you see it this time?"

The stone ball floated up and down: "You are much colder than those people back then. There is no magic cannon in such a large camp. You must not be a group of people..."

Gao Wen's forehead leaped with blue veins, but he heard Rebecca next to him nodding thoughtfully: "Oh, that makes sense..."

Amber climbed up to Gao Wen with a shadow step and lowered his voice: "To be honest, if I were you, I would expel this embarrassing descendant from the house the day after I lifted the coffin..."

How dare you say that others are embarrassed by the shame of all things?

Gao Wen glared at Amber, turned his head to look at the stone ball floating in the air: "So you are finally willing to believe what I said to you that day?"

"Slowly, I just believe that you are not from the same group of people back then, and I didn't say that I believed everything you said, especially a thousand years later... I have to confirm this carefully," Shi Qiu shook his body with great pride, and then continued reluctantly, "Of course, I basically believe that you have no malice now. Well, I remember that you came over to save me just now."

This attitude was still a little bit worthy of beating, but it was a little better than before. Gao Wen knew that he could not force the mysterious sphere to be rescued from the laboratory and had been treated rudely by the imperial people easily trust others, so he nodded: "Okay, trust can be established slowly, let's...hey, wait, you turn to the side and let me see-turn left and turn left."

Amber and Rebecca immediately came over curiously when they heard Gao Wen's words, while the stone ball turned in unknown ways: "What are you doing? I have something on my body?"

Shiqiu turned a little bit to the side, and Amber finally knew what Gao Wen had discovered.

On the side of the lower half of the stone ball, the originally solid and dense shell between rock and metal fell off a small piece, and several long cracks spread out from the fallen spot and had already extended to the waistline of the ball.

"Your shell seems to be cracked," Rebecca said blinking, and carefully pointed at the cracked part of the ball with a staff, "Don't you feel pain?"

"Ah?" Shi Qiu seemed to notice the cracks on his shell, and his tone was a little panicked, "Ah! It must have been broken when it fell from the sky several times before!"

"Is it okay for your shell to crack?" Gao Wen suddenly felt a little worried, "Do I want me to find a stonemason or blacksmith to help you repair it?"

"...Tsk, forget it, it's time for me to break the shell anyway, and you are not enemies," Shi Qiu seemed to think about it for a moment, then shook his body, "You retreat, I'm going to come out of the shell."

Amber suddenly widened his eyes: "Wait! You said you want to break the shell? Then wait! I have to call someone!"

The half-elves said this, and without waiting for anyone at the scene to react, he flashed back into the shadow, leaving Shiqiu and Gao Wen to look around. Shiqiu was silent for a few seconds before speaking: "Then can I come out?"

"If you wait a moment, she will definitely come soon," Gao Wen couldn't grasp the half-elf's thinking, so he could only say casually, "She always had her own ideas."

Then after a while, Amber ran back in a hurry, and pulled Hetty and Pitman.

The two people were obviously dragged over in a confused state.

"Ancestor, what's going on here?" Hetty saw the stone ball floating in the air as soon as he came in. Then she looked at Gao Wen, "Amber hurriedly said that the dragon egg was about to hatch, and I didn't understand..."

As soon as Pittman came in, he noticed the falling off the lower half of the stone ball and cracked. The old man immediately exclaimed: "Oh my God! This dragon egg is about to hatch!"

"Yes, right!" Amber was so excited that it seemed that she was about to break out of her shell, "So I'll call you two over here! By the way, can you two take care of Xiaolongren?"

The two people who were forced to pull them were stunned. Gao Wen immediately wondered whether to throw the amber out now, but the stone ball was no longer patient to wait for these strange people to mess around. A strange low buzzing sound came from inside it, as if it was charging, and the surface of the sphere trembled violently. The dense and rough shell material continued to crack in the tremor. With the fallen part of the lower half of the sphere as the starting point, one piece of "shell" began to fall off from its surface.

Everyone stopped talking. They looked at the fan sphere with surprise and expectation, waiting for the moment when the life inside it broke out.

Finally, with a series of bursts and crisp sounds, the sphere was quickly covered with fine cracks, and then all the shells exploded with a "bang"!

The shell of the stone ball fell off.

There is a bare metal ball inside.

The metal ball shook: "How is it? Am I shining?"

Only then did Pitman realize that the entire shell-breaking process was over. He stared at the metal ball floating in the air in amazement: "Uh, it's not...this is over? Are you sure you have come out of the eggshell?"

Metal ball: "Confirm."

"But you are still an egg!" The old druid's tone seemed to be going crazy, "You are still an egg! Where is it a dragon egg?"

Rebecca stared blankly at the silver-white ball floating in front of her, and after a long time, a sentence came out: "So this is actually a ball..."
