Chapter 60: Are Druids Born from Eggs?

"No, they're too fast!"

While running, Ina glanced behind her.

With her perception of darkness, she quickly sensed that several powerful auras were coming towards them, many times faster than them.

Even if they escaped outside and relied on the lantern tree to contain them, it would not be effective immediately because the parasitism of the lantern tree would take a certain amount of time to break out.

"Do you have any solution?" Rhodes asked.

Aina scanned the intricate caves and finally locked onto a direction: "Follow me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned into a shadow and rushed to the front, turning directly into another fork in the road.

Rhodes raised his hand and summoned a few vine guards to cover their retreat, then quickly followed with the little thing.

He had not run far when he heard an angry roar behind him. Apparently, a black beast had been entangled in the vines, and it was moving much faster than he had expected.

He didn't even last two breaths before the connection between him and the vine guard was completely severed, and the first-level guard was killed instantly.

"This way!"

Ina looked back anxiously.

She had not expected these black beasts to come so quickly. Her blood boiled and she wanted to stop them.

But Rhodes was faster.

He reached into his pocket and pulled out a handful of lantern seeds he had picked up on the road.

"Die to me!"

With a loud shout, he threw the lantern seeds with all his might. The lantern seeds fell into the group of black beasts rushing over, stuck to their bodies, took root and grew.

"Roar!!"

In an instant, a roar resounded through the ground.

The black beast that was parasitized by the lantern seeds quickly withered, and lantern trees grew out of it, blocking the middle of the road.

That chaotic scene.

Ina was stunned for a while.

"When did you get so many lantern seeds?"

"I found it on the road, let's go!"

Rhodes didn't say much and hurriedly caught up.

Ina also knew that now was not the time to ask this. She looked around and finally locked onto a dead end corner not far away and rushed in.

"you sure……"

"Come in!"

There was no time to think about it. Ina reached out and pulled Rhodes and the little thing in.

next second.

Their bodies disappeared and merged completely into the darkness.

Then there was a roar of anger.

The black beasts finally broke through the obstruction of the lantern trees and passed by the place where they had just stood, with a loud rumbling sound echoing in their ears.

Rhodes had sharp eyes and saw several level 30 figures flashing by. He was so scared that he quickly shrank into the corner, and the little thing lay on his head and dared not move.

But what surprised him was.

Those black beasts seemed not to sense their breath and just hurried past outside, without even stopping for those third-level terrifying figures.

Succubus clan.

Or the Night Demons.

Their talent for concealment is so strong!
He is simply born to be a scout. No wonder he can cross the forest where the druid's lair is and run here.

As the noise outside died down and faded away, Aina's face gradually turned pale, and she finally couldn't hold on any longer and had to come out of hiding.

"Are you OK?"

Rhodes asked with concern.

This time he was sincere. After all, if the other party hadn't been there, they definitely wouldn't have been so successful.

"It's okay, it's just that the consumption is a bit high. Are they all gone?"

Aina waved her hand and looked outside.

Waited for a while.

The noise outside finally died down.

It should be that the black beasts did not sense their presence and retreated back to the depths of the nest, making the entire nest quiet again.

"They should all have left. Go out."

Rhodes came outside and saw footprints all over his feet, some of which were even twice as big as his body.

Fortunately, there is Aina's hiding method.

Otherwise, a tough battle is inevitable.

It seems that I have to be more careful next time I come to explore here.

"Let's go outside first. There is a lantern tree there. The black beast dare not go out easily. It's a good opportunity to recover."

Her magic power was consumed too much, and Aina had no time to think about those messy things. She walked in front again to lead the way and hurried outside.

soon.

They fled their nest and came to the outside of the canyon full of lantern trees.

Rhodes took out the remaining black fruits, gave one to each person, and found a place with less severe pollution to absorb and recover.

Given their current condition, they should be able to continue exploring the several small nests nearby. As for the place they were just at, they probably can't go back there for the time being.

"what is this?"

Aina took the black fruit and looked at it in confusion.

"It restores your magic, so just eat it." "Oh."

After taking a look at the little thing eating with relish, Aina also put the black fruit to her mouth and took a bite.

boom!
The surging life energy instantly exploded in her body.

Aina opened her eyes wide in shock, and felt that her condition was recovering rapidly, and even her strength increased a bit.

Such a precious thing.

Just let her eat it directly?

Aina looked at Rhodes not far away and opened her mouth.

She admitted.

I did come here because I was unwilling to accept the situation.

But as they spent some time together, she found that the other party not only did not mind her entanglement, but also helped her a lot, which made her feel complicated.

Yearn for peace and value life.

She seemed to understand a little bit why the tree spirits were not affected by the magic.

Because from beginning to end, the other party never showed her anything called "desire".

All life is equal in the face of nature.

this moment.

Ina's mentality has undergone subtle changes.

He looked at Rhodes again, then ate the remaining black fruit and tried to recover.

"By the way, do you know why that black rock beast can talk?"

At this time, Rhodes, who had recovered, took out the Moon Stone he had just obtained and asked.

Time was tight just now and he had no time to think about it carefully. Now he finally asked the doubts in his mind.

"This should be related to the Moon God Stone."

Aina slowly opened her eyes, revealing a thoughtful look: "The Moon God Stone has the effect of consolidating the soul and slowing down the speed at which the soul dissipates, so it allows some creatures to retain more of their instincts from their previous lives. That rock monster used to be responsible for guarding the sacrificial statue."

"Could there be a life form from three hundred years ago that has preserved its entire soul through the Luna Stone and has lived until now?"

"It's hard."

Aina shook her head. "My ancestors said that the disaster three hundred years ago came very suddenly. The black soil swallowed up the entire dream world in an instant. Except for the Moon God and the four demigods, I'm afraid no one knows what happened."

"That's it..."

Rhodes sighed, feeling a little regretful.

He thought he could find some useful information from this aspect, but in the end he was excited for nothing.

However, finding such a large piece of Moon Stone on the first trip can be considered a huge harvest.

So very quickly.

They finished their rest.

He continued to explore other nests until his supplies were about to run out, then he hurried back to the altar.

This went back and forth several times.

Finally, during the fourth exploration, they entered the large entrance again and found something strange deeper.

An egg big enough for a person to hug.

That's right.

It's just an egg.

Its entire body was covered with black lines, and it was placed strangely in the middle of a huge haystack, slowly absorbing the surrounding black air.

It was clearly a dead object, but Rhodes sensed a faint breath of life from it.

"This is impossible! How can any life survive in this environment?"

Aina lowered her voice and said in shock.

They were now in a huge cold pond. A huge underground water flow rushed over from the side and formed a circle around the haystack, making it look like an isolated island.

But judging from the haystack that was dozens of meters wide, the one that once lived here was definitely a horrific monster comparable to the War Tree, or perhaps even bigger!
"Could it be the egg of some black beast? Or are druids laid from eggs?" Rhodes smacked his lips.

"Druid is a profession, not a species."

Aina corrected him, then hesitated: "What should we do? Should we take it away? What if it is really a black beast egg..."

Although she had never heard of black beasts reproducing in her life, if it were true, it would definitely be a disaster for the entire black earth world.

Because this shows.

The black beast may be giving birth to wisdom.

Even reproduce the race!

"Being able to keep the immortal on the black soil may help us study the black soil. Let's take it back first."

Rhodes thought for a moment, and finally took out the prepared vine, tied the egg and carried it with him.

After making sure there was nothing unusual, he said directly: "Let's go back first."

This time they gained a lot.

In addition to this egg, there are also large and small Moon Stones, which are very inconvenient to carry around.

Plus it was almost evening.

The black soil is becoming increasingly active and is no longer suitable for further exploration.

So Rhodes made a prompt decision and hurried back towards the altar.

"It would be nice if I could have something like a space ring."

As he walked on the road, Rhodes couldn't help but sigh. For the first time, he felt that carrying too many things was a burden.
