Chapter 357 Altar and Stone Eggs
Looking carefully at the huge black cocoon, after being wary at first, Avis temporarily put his mind at ease.
Although it exudes a strong oppressive force, the aura fluctuations emitted by the black cocoon are very stable, and it does not seem like it can break out of the cocoon in a short period of time.
There is just a small problem at the moment.
The "Secret Book of the Old Days" is located in the main body. How to send it over in the ruins that cannot be teleported at present is a problem.
At the same time, when he just opened the door, his fate feedback increased by about five units again.
These feedbacks seemed to come from Ryan, and the reason was that he used the scepter to help Ryan open the door.
After getting the scepter, you can also grab a handful of fate feedback with the backhand, which is awesome.
Speaking of Ryan, Avis looked past the black cocoon, scanned it with his mental power, and noticed his figure.
At this time, Ryan had bypassed the cocoon and rushed towards a small stone altar behind the giant cocoon.
A circle of pale silver ancient dragon language was carved on the altar, with a gray-black stone egg about the size of a human head placed in the center, and several scattered blood-red gem crystals scattered around it.
After entering here, Ryan could clearly feel that the source of the attraction that always lingered in his heart came from that egg! Although it might arouse the suspicion of Avis and others, he didn't care about much. He must get that egg!
After taking a look at the egg, Avis lost interest.
Although he couldn't tell what the stone egg was, Ryan in his previous life wasn't a super-powerful child of destiny. Until little Anvis made a wish, there was no amazing record.
The children of destiny are also divided into different levels, and so are their adventures. Just like the protagonists of different heroic biographies, the final outcome depends entirely on the mood of the creator.
At the end of the story, some protagonists may be able to burn mountains and boil seas, and roam the continent. But some protagonists may only defeat the monsters that are causing trouble, or even sacrifice themselves to achieve their destiny.
Ryan should be a hybrid of the former and the latter. He was chased by the eighth-level Count Chis and fled into the ruins, and then by accident entered the underwater ruins and activated the Colossus of Themis.
Count Chis was naturally vulnerable in front of the Colossus, but at that time, a horrific battle broke out in the underwater ruins area.
After the war, the Colossus exploded and was destroyed, and the unidentified party also disappeared in the explosion. Ryan and his team eventually went missing.
Now it seems that it is probably related to the huge black cocoon. But now that they have found this place decades earlier, it is likely that the plot will not develop in the same way as in the previous life.
"Don't mess with it, it could be dangerous."
At this time, Claire also noticed Ryan's actions and quickly warned him.
She had personally witnessed many adventurers who, blinded by the treasures in the ruins, rushed in impatiently, triggering traps and dying.
Hearing her voice, Ryan, who had already rushed to the front of the altar, stopped and hesitated.
In fact, he also knew that there might be great danger in this hall where there stood an obviously strange black cocoon.
But under the temptation of the attraction that kept coming from his heart, he had long since thrown this vigilance behind him.
Ryan was still a student who had not yet graduated, and was far from being as mature as he would be decades later. His knowledge of the dangers in these ruins was still purely theoretical.
And he did not encounter any danger along the way.
After calming himself down, he ignored Claire's warning and walked forward to pick up the egg.
Rumble, rumble—
But the moment the egg left the surface of the altar, the entire hall suddenly shook, as if something was triggered.
Avis and Claire looked at the black cocoon reflexively, while Xia Ye Yinghuo, who had not yet figured out the situation, was searching the room to see what could be taken away.
However, as Avis had expected, they might have arrived too early, and the fluctuations of the black cocoon did not change at all.
"Student, what did you just do?"
Turning his attention back to Ryan, Avis' tone became slightly more serious.
Although there didn't seem to be any serious consequences, it would be somewhat strange if he didn't seem worried at all.
"I...I'm sorry, I just noticed something on this altar..."
Ryan also came to his senses at this time, and a thin layer of sweat seeped out of his back out of fear, but his hands were still tightly holding the stone egg.
"What's that in your hand? Bring it here and let me see it."
Anvis did not stop, but went a step further and made a request in a somewhat skeptical tone that made Ryan anxious.
"I'm sorry, Lord Anvis, but I really like this stone egg! I don't need those gems, I just want this one!"
As soon as these words came out, Claire couldn't help but turn her head away slightly, unable to bear to look any longer.
Although she didn't care much about the egg, Ryan's words were almost equivalent to telling others clearly that this stone egg might be more valuable than those gems.
"Yeah?"
Walking behind the black cocoon, Avis looked at the nervous Ryan meaningfully. When Ryan was so tense that he almost had cramps, he said something that made him relax suddenly.
"Well, if you really like it that much, then you can take it."
As he spoke, Avis passed by Ryan, climbed to the top of the altar, and casually put away the gems.
Those were dragon blood crystal diamonds, a very rare high-level magic gemstone that usually only appeared in the deepest part of some very large magic mines. The ones on the altar that were nearly the size of a fist were even rarer.
Perhaps these things were more common in the era of the high elves millions of years ago, but in modern times, they are hard to come by.
Avis had good reason to suspect that Ryan might not even recognize them.
There are five dragon blood crystal diamonds in total, just enough for Ryan and his harem in his previous life to have one each.
"Thank you very much for your magnanimity, Lord Anvis!"
Ryan heaved a sigh of relief and looked at Avis' back as he put away the gem and left, with a complicated look in his eyes.
Originally, he was always worried that Avis would make things difficult for him because he took the stone eggs.
With his currently hidden strength of barely the third level, if Avis really took action, he would definitely not be able to keep the egg.
Leaving the altar under Ryan's gaze, Avis began to look for the whereabouts of Summer Night Firefly.
For him, taking the egg from Ryan by force was not the best option.
Whatever hatched from the egg, it would not be of any help to him for decades.
The three cursed plutonium dragons he had hatched previously had been raised for more than two years using various cursed ores, but the strongest one had only just been upgraded to around level six in strength, and this was while they were in their rapid growth period.
The most important thing is, if he really wants to take the egg away by force, there will probably be some twists and turns.
Although he could use the secret art of prophecy to resolve it, given the current tense situation in the ruins, there was no need to create trouble for a useless egg.
After a moment, Avis saw the figure of Summer Night Firefly next to a silver-white obelisk on the side of the hall.
