Just as Fern's brain was still thinking quickly about how to dry his clothes, he noticed that the speed of his descent suddenly slowed down, and gradually, he no longer descended, but began to slowly float to the side.

Several orbs of light lit up almost simultaneously, illuminating their surroundings, and Fern could see where they were through the light. Enoch and Miluria were right in front of him, and they were slowly drifting forward like himself, while Nigel was behind him, the mage's wand in his hand, controlling the balls of light in the sky to disperse, and the four of them were able to float with obviously his magic. The fierce sound of water came from below, and Fern looked down to see a hundred yards below them a rushing river, so rapid that it could instantly wash away anything that fell into it. Fern wiped the sweat from his forehead, but luckily Nigel was able to cast a spell to lift them up in this panicked situation, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable.

After drifting forward for dozens of yards, everyone landed on the shore, and Nigel extinguished most of the orbs of light, leaving only one to continue floating above everyone's heads. "Looks like this is the place we're looking for, and I can feel extraordinary...... Disgusting. ”

"Disgusting, did you faint in the process of falling?" Enoch looked alertly into the woods on the shore for fear that something would burst out of it.

Nigel glanced at him. "Of course not, this disgusting is unusual, it's an aversion to filth, and there's only one possibility that makes me so uncomfortable, the dragon egg in the process of transformation. ”

"Where? can you feel the bearing?" Fern kept looking up at where they had fallen, but couldn't see anything clearly, so he gave up.

"Okay, come with me, and hopefully I don't throw it up before I get there. Nigel touched his stomach.

"Wait. Enoch stopped the mage. "I'm afraid there's danger in this wood, so we'd better extinguish the orb of light and let Miruria lead the way, you just have to show her the way. ”

Nigel thought for a few seconds, then agreed. "Makes sense, if only I could detect demons, but then it's a hassle to learn shadow magic. The mage muttered, and the other three left him and walked out into the woods.

The ball of light had been extinguished, and the group was walking through the dark woods, although it was much more dangerous at the moment than in the cave, but everyone felt much better than before, now at least they had a goal, and they were no longer wandering aimlessly. Miruria led the way thirty yards in front of the group, and the scout walked without a sound, his figure wandering in front of him, like a cat with graceful movements.

As they walked, Fern felt hotter and hotter, and the heat kept coming in front of them, as if a big stove was waiting for them in front of them. Finally, when Fern was about to take off his cloak, they spotted Miruria's mark on the tree, and in order to make them see the mark in the dark, the scout stuck his dagger across the trunk and motioned for them to stop and wait for news from her. The three of them had to stop, leaning against the trunk of the tree and waiting anxiously. It took about thirty minutes for the scout to come back quietly, and Enoch grabbed the girl's hand in a hurry. "Why is it so slow, I thought you ......"

Miruria looked at the warrior with emotion and smiled. "I'm also scouting carefully, and there's the exit from the woods ahead, so you won't believe what I'm seeing. ”

Nigel raised an eyebrow. "You don't think you'll see the Dark Lord. ”

Miruria withdrew her hand from the warrior's hand. "Even if I saw the Dark Lord, I didn't know him. The scout pulled his dagger from the trunk. "I saw the magma, fiery red magma flowing out of the mountain, and on the cliffs where the magma flowed, there were several protruding platforms, and on each platform were placed several dragon eggs. ”

It seems that the so-called hatching pool is not really a pool, but only a secret place for transforming dragon eggs. Nigel examined the two wands hanging from either side of his waist.

"Magma, no wonder it's so hot. Fern's focus was completely different from that of the mage, and he took off his cloak and hung it on a tree. "Aside from dragon eggs, have you seen demons or dragons?"

"Yes, I saw six demons, separated on several platforms, but they didn't look very alert, just sitting there lazily. The scout whispered, as if afraid that the demon would hear. "But the dragon, I didn't see any of them. ”

Nigel frowned. "It's normal for demons to let their guard down, after all, they would never have thought that someone would dare to break into the warped plane and make it here, but why wouldn't there be a dragon?"

"Will the dragon go to the front of the battlefield, Magnus, we saw a black dragon fly over our heads at the foot of Blackridge, and maybe it left from here. Enoch said as he turned his head to the side as he watched his surroundings.

"It's possible, but they should have stayed. Nigel guessed.

Fern re-tied his gear. "It's useless to think too much about it here, so it's better to go over and take a look. ”

The other three agreed to the mercenary's suggestion, and Miruria led the way in front of the group, and the group cautiously walked towards the edge of the forest.

The last row of trees was already on their side, and there were no more trees in front of them that could obscure their view, and a scorching breath came over them, and the sight before them made Fern feel like he was in hell.

In front of them was a bottomless canyon, and on the opposite side of the canyon stood a small hill that, as the scout had said, was flowing slowly down the mountain, and finally into the canyon, where it converged into a lake of magma. On the path of the magma, there are several dragon eggs placed at intervals, and the colors of the dragon eggs are varied, but the same thing is that these colors are very dark, and the original color of a few dragon eggs has been very blurred, almost black. A few demons sat leisurely next to the dragon's eggs, and two demons simply slept on the ground.

Nigel said in a heavy tone, "Look at the color of these dragon eggs, they have all been corrupted, and the few black ones there are no longer saved and must be destroyed." ”

Fern heard something from the mage's words. "You mean that the dragon eggs that haven't turned black are still possible to be saved?"

"You can say that, but only the very few who have been corrupted. The mage pointed to the dragon's eggs on the mountainside, which were not completely blackened, but were already crimson and dark green, and explained, "Look at those few grains, although they are not black yet, they are not saved. ”

"You're talking about such trouble, why don't you just destroy it all?" Enoch looked at the mage in confusion.

"Don't forget, the purpose of our trip is to relieve the pressure on the Magnus Fortress and increase the leverage for victory in this war. Nigel said thoughtfully, "Wouldn't Magnus have a better chance of winning if we could save a few eggs while destroying those unsaved dragon eggs and making them available to us?"

"Are you going to use a dragon's egg as a stone and put it on a catapult to smash the tide?" Enoch shook his head playfully.

"Don't measure dragons by human standards, warriors, these dragons are ready for battle the moment they hatch from their eggs, the only difference from adult dragons is their size. Nigel glanced at Enoch disdainfully.

"Okay, what do we do next? How do we destroy those blackened dragon eggs and rescue the rest?" Fern interrupted the argument between the two and looked at the mage solemnly. "Do you have any plans?"

"Plans?" Nigel looked back at the mercenary blankly. "Didn't you make all the plans?"

"Hell, I don't even know how to destroy those eggs and cut them in half with my sword?" Fern spread his hands helplessly.

"It's not easy, I think you're too nervous. Nigel shook his head again. "Just push it into the lava below. ”

Fern was suddenly choked by Nigel's words, and Miluria laughed unconsciously. "So how are we going to save the dragon eggs that are still being saved?" the scout asked himself, seeing that Fern had nothing to say.

Nigel frowned in embarrassment. "These dragon eggs are actually very heavy, you can see that they are not small, we can't move them at all. The mage looked around at the three of them. "Well, let's just save the four dragon eggs on the bottom platform, the four that look the lightest and should be saved, and then let them hatch on the spot, so that the four of us can ride them out of here. ”

This time, Enoch and Miruriea also opened their mouths in surprise and were speechless for a while, and Nigel shrugged innocently. "I'm free to do anything about that, but how to deal with those demons and get there is something for you to consider. The mage glanced at Fern, and simply sat down on the ground and rested. The warrior and the scout looked at each other, both at the mercenary.

Once again, Fern felt all the weight on his shoulders again, but for some reason, this time, he didn't have the resistance and fear he had before. The mercenary hid behind the trunk of a tree, repeatedly observing the situation and terrain on the hill, thinking hard about the best way to do it.
