Unlike most common objects in the Prison Star world, the magic crystal in the monster's body is a very special existence.
It is difficult to destroy it with normal attacks, but it is very convenient to use it as a magical energy source.
Therefore, no matter how cruelly they strike the monsters, in most cases, combat professionals will at least be able to harvest the monsters' magic crystals after the battle.
However, Driggs and his companions searched everywhere but could not find any magic crystals. Logically speaking, there were so many monsters in the body of this stitched monster, and there were also tens of thousands of snow blast insects just now, so there should be quite a lot of magic crystals.
"There's another strange thing. After this battle, I didn't feel any 'strength improvement' at all," said Woodcorn.
The "feeling of increased strength" that Woodcorn mentioned here, in plain terms from the Earth world, means that he did not receive any experience points.
Because Woodcorn was still in the early stages of level six, he was particularly sensitive to this, while Driggs had been at the maximum level six for a long time and had long forgotten the feeling of gaining experience points.
"Vivianna, what about you?" Driggs turned to Vivianna and asked.
"Well, I didn't feel that either.", Viviana shook her head.
So, tonight's unusual experience of encountering the strange stitched monster continued.
Driggs and Woodcorn almost simultaneously recalled their previous conclusions: this stitched monster was most likely not a living monster, but a lifeless puppet created by "someone".
Only in this way can we explain the result that none of them gained experience points.
As a result, the Feiqi family and the Plateau Furnace Guild lost all their money tonight.
The Scarlet House lost an entire cavalry unit, as well as the signature weapon used by Scarlet Lord Driggs, the "Red Devil Arm Guard Akai".
The Plateau Hearthfire Guild lost all the personnel who came to support the Feiqi family, except for Vice President Woodcorn.
As a result, no matter which force returns to the base, they will not be able to explain to their family or organization.
They didn't even have a single decent piece of material to bring back, and couldn't prove to others how bizarre the enemy they encountered was.
·
But what can we do about it?
·
Driggs and Woodcorn have both been working hard for decades, and this setback, although painful, is not enough to defeat them.
"It seems that I can't bring any 'souvenirs' back this time." Driggs said to Woodcorn with a wry smile.
"Haha, no one would want this kind of souvenir even if I bring it back."
Woodcorn crushed the charred remains of the stitched monster with one foot. Regardless of whether he brought back any spoils or not, he would not shirk the responsibility for this heavy loss.
Now that everything has settled, Driggs suggested going to a nearby town to rest for a while, and then make follow-up plans after this "Black Moon Night" is completely over.
Woodcorn declined Driggs' invitation to join him, saying he could not sleep peacefully until he had buried his men's bodies.
"Okay, then let's meet in Norman Town tomorrow."
"Okay, it's a deal."
Driggs came over and shook hands formally with Woodcorn, then left with Viviana.
The pitch-black warhorse with thunder horns on its head did not choose to follow either side, but galloped away to the south alone, leaving behind only a neigh as a farewell.
Woodcorn looked at these guys going away and felt a little disappointed.
——(It ran away so quickly. I was thinking of asking if it planned to find a new owner.)
Woodcorn sighed and put away his unrealistic fantasy.
How could such a powerful and excellent warhorse easily change its allegiance?
As for the Feiqi family, Woodcorn also had some "new considerations" that he could not express.
·
After watching Viviana's incredibly crazy fighting performance tonight, Woodcorn not only changed his opinion of this "former vase girl", but also had a guess that was not too far-fetched.
During the final stage of the battle, Woodcorn clearly saw the "purple-red gem" worn by Viviana.
Although he didn't know the true identity of the gem, there was one thing Woodcorn was certain of - that was Viviana's behavior that was far beyond common sense and was definitely related to the gem.
A young girl, an extraordinary treasure, overly favorable treatment, and super-class combat capabilities that trample on common sense... all of these combined made it difficult for Woodcorn not to think of a very sensitive identity: the reincarnated Son of God.
If Viviana is actually the reincarnated son of God of the Feiqi family, then everything that happened tonight makes sense.
Woodcorn sighed that a "reincarnated son of God" had actually emerged from the lord's family of the rear country. This not only required extremely huge manpower, financial and material resources, but also corresponding luck.
As for the cruelty and awareness required to give birth to the reincarnated Son of God, there is no way to talk about it openly.
——(Hmm? I think I know... Could it be... that 'Scarlet Silver Meteor, Feilia, Scarlet Star'?)
Woodcorn reviewed the celebrities he knew of the Feiqi family, and after much thought, he felt that only this person could give birth to the reincarnated Son of God.
However, even if his guess was correct, it didn't really matter, because he would never tell anyone about the "reincarnated Son of God."
Woodcorn chose not to say anything, not only because he had shared the hardship with Driggs and Viviana tonight, but also because he knew what it meant to protect himself.
If he really guessed it right, then Viviana would be the most valuable asset of the Scarlet Qi family. And how could the shrewd Scarlet Qi Lord Driggs be willing to let Woodcorn, who knew top-secret secrets, continue to wander around?
So, this is the second reason why Woodcorn would rather not sleep tonight and stay in the wilderness to collect the bodies of his companions.
If he continued to stay with Driggs and the others, by the time Driggs realized what was happening, Woodcorn's situation would become very dangerous.
——(It seems we can’t be friends after all, Explosive Driggs.)
Woodcorn picked up the long-handled lava battle axe, Vulcano, and began to search for his companions who had died tonight and bury them one by one.
However, the ill-fated relationship with the Feiqi family was not as easy to end as Woodcorn had imagined.
And what has not yet ended is this "Black Moon Night" which has "just begun".
10.185 - An unexpected encounter

"Curse of the Ancestral Wolf: 36 Days Remaining"
━━━━━━━━━━
In the dark night, Lord Driggs of Scarlet arrived in Norman Town with his "daughter" Viviana.
Even though a world-shaking war broke out just a few dozen kilometers away, this remote town was still immersed in sleep as usual, without any sense of tension.
Driggs and Viviana hid their identities and checked into the hotel. When checking in, Driggs asked the owner if he heard any loud noises at night.
The sleepy shopkeeper replied that he seemed to have heard something, probably thunder or something.
At this point, Driggs understood why these people were able to sleep peacefully.
If one day, a natural disaster of this level were to strike Norman Town, these people would be able to die "happily" and painlessly in their sleep - Driggs thought so.
"What enviable ignorance..." Driggs muttered.
"Uh, do you mean to stay in the hotel, guest?"
Fortunately, the innkeeper didn't hear clearly and simply hallucinated Driggs' words according to his own expectations.
Driggs followed the shopkeeper's instructions and opened two adjacent rooms for himself and Viviana. They both urgently needed a good sleep to recover.
·
"Viviana, meet downstairs at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning."
"As you command, Father."
After a brief goodbye, Driggs and Viviana each went into their rooms.
Driggs's nearly exhausted magic power made him lie down and fall asleep without much thought. In his opinion, Viviana, who had recovered her spirit, did not need much care from him.
But is this really the case?
Driggs may be an excellent lord, but he can never be a good father - after all, based on the facts, he is not only not Viviana's biological father, but also her father's murderer.
[Note: For details, see chapter 3.7 - Viviana Scarlet]
After entering the room, Viviana did not immediately start preparing for bed.
In fact, quite the opposite, her only thought now was about sneaking out of the hotel.
·
As to why Viviana had such an idea, it all started with the battle with the stitched monster tonight.
At that time, Driggs and Woodcorn had been forced into a desperate situation, and Viviana was no exception.
Viviana, who had no fighting spirit, survived in the cracks relying entirely on her fighting instinct. It was only a matter of time before she died.
But at that moment, a pitch-black warhorse wrapped in cyan lightning suddenly galloped to Viviana's side, awakening the dormant fire in the deepest part of her heart.
·
When Viviana first saw the scooter, she was surprised.
Although this black warhorse with thunder horns was quite different from the small motorcycle in Viviana's memory, she still recognized it as Banning's former mount.
So, since the scooter appeared, is Banning nearby?
Viviana, whose heart was as dead as ashes, had a small flame in her heart that began to rekindle quietly.
However, Viviana waited and waited for a long time, but there was no sign of Benning. Instead, the little motorcycle that came to help her was gradually unable to hold on under the siege of the snow bomb swarm.
At this time, Viviana was confused again.
She was very pessimistic and believed that Banning would not come, and that Xiao Moto and herself would die here.
However, Viviana's negative thoughts were changed by Xiao Moto.
·
Although he was surrounded by layers of snow-blast insects, Xiao Moto had no intention of giving up.
Lightning was wrapped around its body, and it blocked left and right, refusing to let a single snow blaster come to Viviana.
Looking at the little motorcycle fighting bloody battle, Viviana recalled the scene when she and Banning fought together for the first time.
At that time, in the cave in Shadou Canyon, even though he was as weak as an ant, Banning did not give up the chance to survive, and even gave the enemy a fatal blow at the critical moment.
In contrast, I am now obsessed with worrying about things that I cannot understand, and my mind is confused by those illusory concepts. As a result, I forget that the road under my feet is actually the most important thing.
Whether you are born a genius or a mediocrity is not something you can decide, but whether you want to work hard and what kind of life you want to live is something you can decide.
As for whether I am an accessory of the pigeon blood red stone?
What does it matter?
Weapons, equipment, and props are things that are always meant for people to use. As long as your will is still determined by yourself, there is no need to worry about those pretentious issues!
“Thank you, little motorcycle!”
After breaking through the inner demon, the flame in Viviana's heart finally ignited completely!
No longer trapped in her own trap, she quickly broke out of the encirclement together with Little Motorcycle. What followed was the story of how they used the six-hit "Scarlet Silver Sword Formation: Annihilation" to forcibly kill the stitched monster.
After the battle, Viviana actually wanted to go with Xiao Moto.
During the battle, she had already vaguely realized that Little Motorcycle was actually on his way to find Banning, so as long as she followed Little Motorcycle, she could see Banning again.
However, the presence of Lord Scarlet Driggs made Viviana dare not act rashly, at least not in person.
So, this girl, who was proficient in fighting but naive in worldly affairs, made the boldest decision of her life:
She planned to wait until her father fell asleep, then sneak out to catch up with Little Motorcycle and go find Banning together.
As for what would happen after her father woke up tomorrow morning, Viviana couldn't think of any good solution.
Therefore, she decided to leave it to fate with great optimism.

Maybe, I can actually come back before dawn...right?
