"What's this?"
The people in the forging room immediately gathered around. Based on their understanding of Shao Xuan, Shao Xuan wouldn't give away an unimportant stone so easily.
"Could it be from there?" An older middle-aged man pointed at the place where the core seed was placed.
There was no need for him to explain. Everyone immediately understood.
"I've heard about the changes there, but I didn't expect it to be like this!" The people in the forging room rubbed their palms together. They weren't afraid of the changes. They were interested in all kinds of new changes.
"Try it first." Shao Xuan handed the crystal to the elder next to him.
"It's so heavy!" The man's expression changed as soon as he touched the crystal. He frowned thoughtfully.
The others couldn't wait any longer. Before the man could react, they all rushed over to try the crystal.
"It's really heavy!"
"Great Elder, how did this stone become so heavy?"
"Actually, the stone's weight will change when it's shipped over, but it's not as obvious. This crystal is really strange," someone else said.
The people in the forging room clicked their tongues in wonder. The elder turned to Shao Xuan and asked, "Great Elder, what do you mean?"
"Cut it open and see what's inside," Shao Xuan said concisely.
"Understood!"
The people in the forging room immediately perked up and brought out the tools they needed. Ever since the new bronze was produced, their tools had been upgraded as well.
The outer layer of the almost transparent crystal shell wasn't thick, nor was it too hard. With the new bronze tool, the outer layer of the crystal was quickly knocked off.
"Huh? What's this? "The people in the forging room looked curiously at the crystal core that had been taken out.
There were many colourful crystals on the surface of the crystal core. They were harder than the transparent crystal shell on the surface. These were the crystals Shao Xuan saw earlier.
"These colorful crystals are quite pretty. Let's knock them off and put them away." Most of the people in the forging room came from the other side of the sea. They knew the value of these beautiful crystals, so after carefully knocking them off, they didn't throw them away. Instead, they put them in a box on the side.
About half an hour later, most of the crystals on the crystal core, which was half an arm long and one palm wide, had been knocked off, revealing most of the crystal core's face.
"Black?" Shao Xuan looked at the black object with a metallic luster and tried to guess what it was.
"Great Elder, there are still a lot of crystals that can't be knocked down. Do you think we should melt them first?" Generally, the impurities in the ore would be removed during the smelting process, which was why the blacksmith thought of this method.
"Alright, you guys try it first." This piece of land was meant for testing, so Shao Xuan let them do as they pleased.
At this time, someone came to look for Shao Xuan. Shao Xuan went out first. It was someone sent by Guigou to look for Shao Xuan. When he heard that Shao Xuan was here, he sent someone to inform Shao Xuan, but it was not urgent. He only asked Shao Xuan to go up the mountain when he was free.
When Shao Xuan walked into the forging room again, the blacksmith had already placed the black crystal core on the furnace. However, Shao Xuan glanced over and asked the person next to him, "Are you using the same set of smelting tools?"
Originally, those were all used to smelt and cast bronze wares. Now, it was a new and unknown thing.
When Shao Xuan said this, the people in the forging room woke up with a start. Indeed, they were used to putting the ores they had collected into the furnace. When they were working just now, they didn't think that this might not be a material they had come in contact with before. However, they were too anxious to find out what it was, so they neglected this point.
But … it should be fine, right?
Just as they thought this, Shao Xuan shouted, "Get out of the way!"
Shao Xuan felt his heart skip a beat. He only had time to push a few people away, but he couldn't save the crystal core in the furnace.
With a loud explosion, the roof of the forging room was blown off, and the blast from the furnace exploded in all directions. All kinds of tools were sent flying in all directions by the sudden impact, and dust and stone fragments flew everywhere.
The people guarding the forging room were so scared that their hair almost stood on end. When they saw the situation, they ran over. They didn't know what had happened, but the people in the forging room were the ones who made the weapons for them. Nothing could happen to them. Moreover, the Great Elder was still there!
In fact, small things happened in the forging room every once in a while. The craftsmen needed to improve the forging, and from time to time, they would get some inspiration, so it wasn't rare for them to make some noise. However, this wasn't a small noise. The room over there had collapsed!
Also, something seemed to have flown out of it just now …
They didn't care too much about it. Everyone who heard the noise rushed over to the forging room. The most important thing now was to make sure that the people in the forging room were still safe.
"Great Elder! Great Elder, are you okay?! "A person who rushed over asked anxiously.
"I'm fine!" Shao Xuan pushed the bricks off his body, got up, and patted the dust off the stone fragments. Then, he and the others dragged the people in the forging room out of the mess.
Fortunately, Shao Xuan reminded them in time and pulled the people close to them away. Otherwise, there wouldn't have been a worse result.
Those who were lucky only had some scratches on their bodies. Those who were unlucky were hit by the quickly lifted tools and other things. Some had broken bones, while others had been stabbed. However, Shao Xuan gave them a cursory look. For the time being, they weren't in any danger. He ordered people to carry the more seriously injured people in stretchers for treatment. He also asked Gui Ze to check if they had any internal injuries.
Other parts of the tribe also heard the noise. Because they didn't know what was going on, someone asked with a whistle.
The guard in charge of this area looked at Shao Xuan. Shao Xuan waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to make a fuss about it.
Understanding Shao Xuan's meaning, the guard blew the whistle. When the people in other parts of the tribe heard this, they felt relieved and went back to what they were supposed to do.
After the injured were taken away, Shao Xuan looked at the forging room that was now beyond recognition. He rummaged through the mess, but didn't see the crystal core. He asked the others.
"When you heard the noise, did you see anything else? This big black one. "Shao Xuan gestured.
The people who came over shook their heads. They were all worried about the people inside and didn't pay much attention.
However, one of the warriors whispered, "I think I saw something fly out."
"Fly out?" Shao Xuan asked.
"Yes, it flew out directly from the roof. As for where it went, I don't know. It was so fast that I thought I saw wrong."
Shao Xuan thought that it must be the black crystal core. However, it might not be easy to find it.
"If you see it, tell me." Shao Xuan said and went to other places. He asked the patrolling guards to keep an eye out for anything suspicious that might have fallen.
However, when Shao Xuan was walking towards the tribe's residential area, he suddenly heard the pterosaur in the surrounding forest cry out in surprise.
Shao Xuan looked over and saw the pterosaur lying on a tree branch looking up into the sky, as if worried about something.
Looking in the direction the pterosaur was looking, Shao Xuan saw something flying in the sky. Because it was so small, if it wasn't for the light, it wouldn't have been easy to notice. Even if there was a light, it would be difficult to see it without good eyesight.
That was …
Thinking of a possibility, Shao Xuan looked in the direction the thing was flying in.
The thing in the sky seemed to be falling rapidly. Shao Xuan switched to his special vision. In his field of vision, besides the sun, the thing in the sky was like the only starlight in the sky. It was extremely conspicuous.
That was it!
Shao Xuan blew the wooden whistle.
The thing in the sky wasn't falling towards Yanjiao's headquarters, but on the other side of the river. It was very likely that it was near the trading point!
After blowing the whistle, Shao Xuan ran towards the stone bridge. Before he went there, he hoped that the people at Yanjiao's trading point would be prepared to prevent others from snatching the thing away.
Shao Xuan's whistle was relayed to the people at the trading point by the guards at the stone bridge on the other side of the river. The trading point was noisy so perhaps the guards couldn't hear Shao Xuan's whistle clearly. However, when the people here relayed the message, they understood.
Duo Kang and Zheng Luo heard the noise and came out. They looked up at the sky. After all, the whistle could only convey a limited amount of information. Shao Xuan only told them to look at the sky.
At this time, the thing in the sky had descended a lot. The people on the ground could also see the approaching fire in the sky.
"What's that?!" Someone in the trading point exclaimed.
"Is that fire?"
"Fire can do that?"
"It must be something good. Yanjiao's people are going over!"
Duo Kang personally led a group of people towards the place where the thing was falling. It was impossible to hide the noise from everyone. Moreover, after hearing the whistle, although the people from other tribes did not understand the content of the whistle, there would always be people who looked up into the sky. One spread to two, two spread to four. More and more people saw the fire falling rapidly from the sky.
Curious people also followed them. However, this was Yanjiao's territory. They might not be able to snatch the thing away from Yanjiao. Most of them were just there to watch the show.
In the city, Yi Si, Wu He and the others had all sorts of guesses in their hearts. A fire falling from the sky was indeed very suggestive.
Especially Wu He and the others. When they saw the scene, they immediately forgot about the pain and disappeared in a flash to grab the thing. What fell from the sky might be a treasure!
The fire in the sky came closer and closer. Like a shooting star, it smashed into the ground not far from the trading point with a loud bang. Because of this, the noisy trading area fell into a momentary silence.
"What … what's going on?"
"That thing in the sky, it fell?"
"Scary, it's really scary! I don't know what it is. "
"Why do strange things always happen in Yanjiao?"
The people in the trading point didn't have the guts to go out and take a look. They could only gather together and discuss. Some of the people who went out wanted to take the opportunity to snatch the thing away, but when they got there, they found that Yanjiao's people had already surrounded the area. They were filled with killing intent. A few people who wanted to snatch the thing away had already been killed. The smell of blood and the obvious killing intent woke up the impulsive people and made them stay away.
In the sky, Wu He and the others saw that there was a hole where the Yanjiao's people were surrounding. Hot smoke was coming out of it.
"What a pity. Why did it fall in Yanjiao's territory?" If it was anywhere else, Wu He and the others would still try to snatch it away. But here in Yanjiao, they thought about their experience of being captured. Although they were tempted, they didn't dare to make a move.
