Chapter 27: The Burning Fire (3)
"Woo woo woo ......"
Jack, who was walking forward, suddenly heard a cry in his ears, and he couldn't help but doubt his ears, but this cry was so real. Could it be the unjust soul of the villagers?
He grabbed Turks and said, "Wait. Did you hear the cry?"
Tex turned his head suspiciously: "Hmm, did you hear it wrong, don't scare me, in broad daylight, could it be that the ghosts of the villagers came out?"
"I ......", Jack couldn't help but suspect that something was wrong with his ears, as if he turned around and listened again, but the cry of "woo" could no longer be heard, only the "crackling" sound of the village burning: "I don't know, I should have heard it wrong".
"You must have heard it wrong, so many people didn't hear it, only you heard it." Tex said helplessly.
The group continued to walk forward.
However, it was at this moment that the whining sound reached Jack's ears again. Jack paused, making sure it wasn't his hallucination.
"It seems to be crying." A soldier said.
The other soldiers also responded one after another: "Yes. It was as if someone was crying. ”
When Turks was told this, he also noticed the cry that had just come from him, could it be that the ghosts of the villagers were really haunting?
"Wait. Don't leave. Jack called on everyone to stop and find out where the cry was coming from.
Then they all turned around and scattered.
Jack noticed that the cry seemed to be coming from the grass by the side of the road. He cautiously walked over and used his sword to clear the dense weeds.
"Tex!!Tex!!Come here!" Jack hurriedly shouted for everyone else to come.
It turns out that Jack found an egg in the grass! Yes, an egg!
The crowd gathered around, staring at the head-sized egg, and discussing what kind of animal it had produced.
Tex leaned over, looked at the milky white egg carefully, listened closer, and then jumped to the side in horror: "Ah......h
"What's wrong!?" asked Jack nervously.
Still frightened, Turks didn't say a word, just stared at the egg in a daze.
Jack had to take the risk himself and get up, only to find out that the whining sound came from this egg!
"How can this be!!!" Apparently Jack didn't believe his ears either. This is clearly an ordinary, just a little larger egg, why is there a movement that is almost like a human cry coming from inside!?
However, after listening carefully and listening to it several times, and the soldiers also proved it themselves, Jack dared to believe that this was a crying egg!
"What kind of animal egg is this, do you know?" said Jack to a few of the soldiers next to him.
The soldiers all shook their heads, and they couldn't tell if they had never seen such a strange egg. When it comes to eggs, only the ostrich eggs of the ancestral period can be compared, but how can there be such a creature in the current Tana continent.
After making sure that the egg was not dangerous, just had an almost human cry, Jack boldly picked it up.
"It's pretty heavy! I guess it's got to be a big guy in there!" Jack sighed.
The rest of the people were shocked by Jack's senseless guts, and if they were them, they wouldn't dare to pick up a huge egg so casually, what if it was a monster in it?
"Jack, put it down!" Turks nervously told Jack to let go and not take the egg.
But Jack said calmly, "Maybe...... It's a little creature in it. ”
Tex's only one thing he knew was that an egg that could make a sound definitely had something terrifying hidden inside: "Jack, don't make a fuss, just don't hear it, put it down! No matter what, it's definitely not a human offspring!"
"At least it didn't hurt me. Jack said with a smile. He can't watch life pass away or suffer before his eyes, and that may be his shortcoming. If possible, he would have liked the egg to be a small animal. But if he doesn't have the right temperature to grow, he will end up dying in the egg, which is a situation he doesn't want to see.
"Wait, what's on this?" Suddenly Turks noticed that there seemed to be something on the egg.
Jack took a closer look at the "life" in his hand, and also found that it had a harpoon-like pattern on it, light blue, as if it was printed on an egg.
"Jack, believe me, this is definitely hoodoo! Put it down!" Turks was still telling Jack to give up the weird-looking thing.
But before Jack could speak, there was a "thump" sound from the egg, and Jack panicked and threw it into the grass again.
"Scared me to death, how is it moving!"
Everyone drew their swords and faced the egg of unknown origin together.
Turks, however, motioned for everyone to stop. The soldiers all obediently lowered their swords and looked at the egg on the ground with strange eyes.
"Is it breaking its shell?!" the crowd commented. It is even said that it is now hacked to death with a sword, lest a fierce devil come out later.
Turks stopped the soldiers and said, "Don't be impulsive, take a look and say, what if it's Tana's creature?"
The crowd had no choice but to give up.
The egg in front of him, which was tumbling at this time, was struggling on the grass, apparently there was something inside that was about to come out.
Jack's eyes widened, not daring to breathe. For him, it was the egg he found, and he trusted the egg first, so no matter what, what came out of it would choose to end or accept it.
The egg was tossing and turning in pain, and the sound of "thump" kept coming from inside, and the power was getting stronger and stronger.
The "crackling" sound of the village burning in the fire not far away kept echoing in Jack's mind, and he hoped that what came out of it was a cute little life, so that he could name it "Tata".
However, it certainly won't be that simple.
The creature inside the egg tried harder and harder to break through the stubborn shell. Everyone held their breath and stared straight at it, but no one dared to approach it. The soldiers also clung to their swords and waited for the "monster" to come out.
The eggshell broke! Then, the hole got bigger and bigger!
It's totally out!
"This!"
"This!!"
The soldiers pointed their swords at the thing that burst out of the egg, and they all felt that it was the most appropriate choice to know about it at this moment!
"Don't! don't kill it!" Jack cried out, trying to stop the killing that was coming!
