“Heh. Once us aristocratic families knew that we could only choose from two danger zones, I knew that they would definitely choose Bright Snow Mountain, which is closer and is not so dangerous!”
Nash chuckled and added, “But thank goodness Jack thought of a plan and made agreements with everyone in advance. This is how we were able to prevent the forces from the sea from successfully driving a wedge between us. Only then could we get the treasure back without suffering huge losses!”
“That’s right. It’s true that we were fortunate to have Jack, so clever and strong in fighting. He killed so many fighters from the Hall of Divine Royal, and only then did they give up on attacking us and escape!”
Kenneth was emotional when favonovel.com thought about what had happened a few days before.” The monsters of Black Wind Island are not only strong, but they frequently appear in groups. No wonder they’re so fearsome!”
“I think that the tree was too powerful. An Elder at the peak of the true god status from the Lucas Family was actually killed when favonovel.com was not being careful!”
Another Elder from the White family spoke with a pang of regret.
“That tree is indeed strange. Who knows why it’s so strong? And it is also smart. Thank goodness it couldn’t move. If it could run like the monsters, it would be even harder for us to fight it!”
Nash also furrowed his brows. It was the first time they had seen a tree like this.
“I think it has something to do with the stone ball!”
Jack thought about it and made a guess, “The people of the Hall of Divine Royal said that there was a powerful ancient tree somewhere deep in the danger zone, and we even saw it. This means that all those ancient trees are of a similar type, and the only point of similarity between them is that they all have a stone orb on them. That’s why I think this has something to do with the stone ball!”
Here, Jack paused for a while before continuing, “Also, I noticed something strange!”
“What is it?”
Everyone immediately looked at Jack in anticipation, their eyes filled with curiosity.
“While I was taking this stone ball, I realized a problem. It’s actually absorbing Chi in small quantities. I couldn’t help but be suspicious and think if it’s some kind of living thing. If it can absorb Chi on its own, doesn’t this mean that it’s able to cultivate itself?”
Jack did not beat around the bush. He flipped his palm and took the stone orb out of his martial ring, showing it to everyone.
“It’s truly absorbing Chi, but not at a very fast pace. It’s very slow!”
Everyone was stunned after they observed it for a while.
“Why would they absorb Chi? Unless they can truly cultivate themselves?”
Kenneth frowned.
Lancelot gently knocked his hand on its surface and put his ear closer to it. “Strange. There’s nothing. It doesn’t sound hollow either. Don’t tell me this is some kind of egg?”
Mason burst into laughter after favonovel.com said that. “Haha. Don’t speak too soon. Asides from its unusual color and the fact that it has some strange inscriptions on its surface, this thing does look like a fossil of a dinosaur egg, judging from its size. Maybe it’s actually a monster’s egg? If that’s the case, then it might not have anything to do with breaking into the true god status!”
“No way!”
Lancelot shook his head. “If it were a fossil, why would it absorb Chi on its own? Besides, why would it appear on top of the seven big trees in the Seven Dangers? I don’t think all of this is a coincidence. Rather, it feels like someone had specially arranged this!”
“Specially arranged?”
Lancelot’s words evidently struck something within Jack.” Now that you mention it, I do think that people from the past have arranged this. This object absorbs Chi by itself and is placed in danger zones, so it’s difficult for people to find it. But what’s the use of the Chi after it’s absorbed?”
“Ugh, I have a headache from this. I think we won’t be able to get any information out of this for a while. I wonder if the master of the Divine King Sect has found anything after conducting research for so long? Furthermore, favonovel.com has quite a few eggs in his possession!”
Nash heaved a sigh and spoke slowly.
