Chapter 1186 - 477: Small World (Part 2)
Most of the rest is connected elements, plus very pure elemental materials aggregated together.
There are also some cumbersome rituals, which Alka doesn’t quite understand.
Anyway, these nearly 100 stone eggs floating here are said to take 500 years to slowly hatch one by one.
This is the limit of how their tribe can propagate offspring.
For these half-elements, the birth of each offspring is very important.
If you look closely, it seems that each previously core-formed egg surface is the roughest.
This means it is very easy to grow if a new life is nurtured with a core.
Perhaps the talent would also be better.
At that time, among all the cores, the core of this brother Yan Jiao was the largest and presumably the most powerful in life.
The Great Elder lifted the egg with a stone tray and placed it down.
As the enveloped orange-red light dissipated, the stone egg seemed to separate from the mother’s embrace, beginning to transform.
This was completely different from what Alka thought.
He couldn’t help but let a mirror float by his side, recording this scene.
The so-called stone egg is just an appearance, and it does not hatch new life from within like external oviparous creatures.
Instead, the entire thing, along with the tray below, melds and transforms. Didn’t expect that even the supporting tray below is part of the new birth?
It’s like a lump of clay being shaped.
A small Minotaur emerged.
About only one meter in size.
Alka looked at this newly born Stonehoof Half-Element being, which had the appearance of a Minotaur.
The one-meter-tall body made the whole Minotaur’s body proportions very much like a cartoon figure in anime.
Very... characteristic.
A bit similar to a three-head figure.
It looks very cute.
Invisible waves spread out.
Innate ability to communicate using language.
He was calling.
Yan Jiao and another came forward, with the tribe’s unique Minotaur appearance.
They approached this newborn closely.
And this newborn half-element creature jumped into their arms.
Showing great intimacy.
With the birth of the half-element being, this ritual also drew close to its end.
Alka watched the entire process from the side.
After the half-element being was born, its power was at the First Stage.
And it exhibited its innate elemental manipulation ability.
It’s truly worthy of the racial talents they have.
After bidding farewell to the Great Elder, Alka left the Stone Forest.
He thought about it and didn’t rush out, instead he walked in another direction.
Just not far from the Stone Forest.
Where their neighbors are.
It’s called the Ghost Mine.
The new name for the big block of earth they had previously excavated.
Before reaching it, he could see ghosts wandering on the plains.
These ghosts looked at Alka, seemed very dazed, then silently walked away.
Around were such dazed ghosts everywhere, and as they got closer to the Ghost Mine, the number increased significantly.
The strength of these ghosts varied, from the First Stage to the Fourth Stage.
But it could be seen, they were no longer the extremely hostile Evil Spirits towards living beings they once were.
Even their terrifying, distorted appearances had turned into normal souls, most with either only their lower halves or appearing like smoke, or able to condense illusory legs.
He saw hills of different colors in the distance.
There, once vibrant areas had become desolate. A gloomy aura lingered there.
However, although gloomy, it didn’t feel evil or nauseating.
After all, it’s normal dark energy, just gathered and confined there by Alka, making it bleak, more suitable for spirits to survive.
Moreover, you could see gentle white lights illuminating it. That was the moonlight Alka borrowed from Chadite.
It must be said, Chadite’s moonlight was still quite helpful for these normal souls.
It could stabilize the negative emotions carried within their souls.
Thinking while walking.
At the edge, he saw Lumina.
At this moment, Lumina seemed to be inspecting something with his mentor and Clara around a dazed ghost.
Then sensing something, Clara tugged at Lumina’s soul robe after seeing Alka.
Lumina and the elder beside him looked at Alka, pausing their actions, and Alka also walked over.
The dazed soul looked at the group and swayed away.
"How is it?" Alka asked.
Hearing Alka’s question, Lumina shook her head regretfully: "Although these Evil Spirits have returned to their original soul shapes, but having been immersed in the Abyss’s aura for too long, almost all memories in their souls have vanished along with their madness.
Only a few of the slightly more powerful, or those with strong will, retain memories, but only in scattered fragments.
They are now like... vegetative people missing all memories, roaming relying on the instincts of their souls."
Although no longer tainted by the Abyss’s aura, these souls have returned to their original state.
But now the only difference from the former Evil Spirits might be they have become calm and returned to themselves.
And now, Lumina and the others spent most of their time researching these souls that have returned to their original states.
