At noon, the sky was clear and the sun was bright.
After resting and processing the spoils, the migration team set off again.
Flying in the air on his bone shield, Ender looked down at the winding migration team, with the massive gray-brown Burrowing Beast corpse being dragged by dozens of carriages.
As Ender patrolled in the air, many people in the migration team below would instinctively look up at the sky, and whenever they saw the figure flying in the air, they would feel at ease.
They knew that as long as this young Scout was present, their safety was guaranteed.
Because he was a powerful expert who had slain a Planetary Level Demon Beast!
Yes, the news of Ender slaying a Planetary Level Burrowing Beast had spread throughout the entire migration team, greatly unifying the people.
Thus, the migration team journeyed towards the Royce Family, arriving there several days later.
Along the way, two tribes joined, and they encountered two small Demon Beast groups, after which there were no more disturbances.
After arranging for the several tribes to migrate as per the Family elders' instructions, Ender excused himself and returned to the Family.
After several days, he returned to his familiar home.
"Eleven!"
Seeing Ender return, his mother Wendy immediately dropped what she was holding and quickly went forward to hug him.
Ender said softly, "I'm back, Mother."
"It's good that you're back!" Releasing Ender, Wendy's eyes were moist, "Are you hurt at all?"
"No, if you don't believe me, look." Ender said, turning in a circle.
"It's good that you're fine."
The separation of several days made Wendy want to say many things to Ender, but remembering her husband's instructions, she had to reluctantly hold back.
"Father and Third Brother are back. They told you to go to the main tent when you returned."
Ender nodded slightly, "Then I'll go now."
Leaving home for the main tent, greeting the Family members he met, Ender arrived outside the main tent.
"Grandfather."
Ender called out respectfully from outside the tent.
"Eleven, come in."
A man's voice came from inside.
Upon entering the main tent, Ender saw several people sitting inside, including his father Derrick.
The middle-aged man at the head was burly, with dignified features, and was precisely the founder of the Royce Family, Royce.
At this moment, Royce had a slight smile on his face, "Eleven, you've done very well!
"First, you saved Eighteen and Nineteen, then you completed the Scout mission, and you even slew a Planetary Level Demon Beast."
As he spoke, he took a beast skin bag from his waist and handed it to a man beside him.
That man had rugged features and was also remarkably burly. He silently took the beast skin bag and came before Ender, handing it to him.
Ender looked at the beast skin bag Ivan, his Third Uncle, handed him, "Third Uncle, what is this?"
Ivan replied, "This is the Family's reward for you, two Red Dew Pills. Seventh Brother will tell you the specific usage."
Hearing it was a Family reward, Ender accepted the beast skin bag.
He had heard of Red Dew Pills; they were treasures more precious than Purple Orange Fruits.
Seeing Ender accept the beast skin bag, Royce continued, "Oh, right, Little One has a gift for you. The gift has already been placed in your home.
"I won't tell you what it is exactly; you'll know once you contact Little One after you go back."
"What kind of gift? So mysterious?" Ender wondered in his heart.
Royce waved his hand slightly, "Go back and rest well, then study today's gains. Don't waste Little One's painstaking efforts."
"Yes, Grandfather." Ender nodded, turned, and prepared to leave.
Ivan's voice rang out, "Eleven!"
"Third Uncle?"
Ivan said sternly, "The Beast Tide is approaching. Twelve and Thirteen will participate in the first Beast Tide trial, and you will command their defense zone."
"Yes!"
Ender saw that Third Uncle's words were serious, implying no refusal.
He understood that he was speaking as the Shelter Guardian, not as an elder in the Family.
"Hmm, go back and rest well." Ivan's expression softened slightly, and he turned to Derrick, saying, "Seventh Brother, you go with him too."
Derrick nodded, stood up, and left the main tent with Ender.
On the way back, Derrick asked, "You've been out on Scout in the grasslands for so many days, what are your thoughts?"
Ender's mind conjured up all the sights he had seen on the grasslands. After a moment of silence, he said, "It's very difficult for small tribes to survive on the grasslands; a single Demon Beast group attack could lead to their annihilation."
Derrick shook his head at this answer, "Not just that."
"Hmm?"
Ender was puzzled; he didn't understand what his father meant by 'not enough'.
Derrick tilted his head slightly and said, "You'll know when you've been to Morning Light City."
As they spoke, the two returned home.
Derrick first went into the inner room and came out holding a silver-white metal box, "This is a gift from your Eldest Brother."
Ender took the metal box and opened it; inside, a row of silver-white blades was neatly arranged.
With a sweep of his Spiritual Force, he counted twenty blades in the row.
The shapes of these twenty blades varied; for example, some blades had uniform thickness, while others tapered from thin to thick.
Although these blades differed in shape and thickness, they shared a common characteristic: sharpness!
Visibly sharp!
"Are these Spirit Weapons?"
Ender turned to look at his father, his expression joyful.
"Not sure." Derrick shook his head, "You'll have to ask your Eldest Brother."
As he spoke, he took the communicator from Ender's wrist and dialed.
"Beep..."
The busy tone sounded a few times, and then a light screen appeared.
On the light screen, an unfamiliar face appeared before the two of them.
Seeing this face, Ender and Derrick exchanged glances.
Because the owner of this face was not Ender's Eldest Brother, Eric Ron Royce.
The person appearing on the light screen was a woman, a young and beautiful woman!
"Are you Eric's Family? He's taking a shower; I'll go call him."
The camera zoomed out, and the upper half of the woman, wearing a dark green combat suit, appeared on the light screen.
She was valiant and charming, full of charisma when she ran her hand through her long hair!
The woman tilted her head and called out, "Eric, your Family is looking for you."
On the other side, Eldest Brother's voice came over, "Wait a moment, I'll be right there."
Hearing Eric's reply, the woman returned to the light screen and introduced herself, "My name is Dahlia, and I am Eric's friend, and also his teammate in the Joint Training Camp."
"I am Eric's Father, Derrick."
Derrick introduced himself, then pointed to Ender beside him, "This is my son Ender, he is Eric's eleventh younger brother."
"Hello, Uncle." Dahlia behaved gracefully and appropriately.
After greeting them, she turned to Ender and said, "Eleven, I often hear Eric talk about you.
"He said you're a Genius, and that you'll enter the Joint Training Camp like us in the future."
Finally, she smiled a little mischievously, "I didn't expect you to be not only a Genius but also a very cute boy."
"Uh..."
Ender blushed a little; the title 'cute boy' was so embarrassing!
At this moment, Eric walked into the light screen shirtless, wearing only a pair of shorts, his hair still somewhat wet.
"You go back first. I have something to discuss with them here. I'll come find you after I'm done."
As soon as he came out, Eric softly said to Dahlia.
"Alright..."
Dahlia was clearly a bit reluctant, seemingly wanting to stay a little longer, but she still obediently left.
Witnessing Dahlia's departure, Ender and his father Derrick noticed some clues; the two in the light screen seemed very comfortable with each other!
Derrick teased, "Little One, that girl Dahlia just now, she wouldn't happen to be your future wife, would she?"
"Dahlia will become my wife in the future."
Eric's handsome face broke into a smile; he generously admitted it.
"Heh, it really is like Second Brother..."
Derrick was a bit nostalgic, but he stopped halfway through his sentence.
"I heard Grandfather talk about Father and Mother; they fell in love at the Stellar Training Camp, and then I was born."
Eric fell into reminiscence, "Actually, when I first entered the Joint Training Camp, I was focused solely on Cultivating and never thought about romance."
"But after meeting Dahlia..." Speaking of this, Eric's face showed a bitter smile, "I somewhat understood."
"Little One, you..."
Derrick wanted to offer comfort but was stopped.
"Enough! Father! Let bygones be bygones." Eric interrupted Derrick's words.
Then, he turned to Ender and said, "Eleven, did you receive my gift?"
"I received it." Ender placed the metal box in front of him and asked, "Are these blades Spirit Weapon fragments?"
"Haha! Eleven, you underestimate your Eldest Brother too much!" Eric said with a laugh, "These are not Spirit Weapon fragments, but incomplete Spirit Weapons!"
"Is there a difference between Spirit Weapon fragments and incomplete Spirit Weapons?" Ender asked, puzzled.
Eric explained in detail, "A Spirit Weapon is composed of dozens to hundreds of basic small components. Once a Spirit Weapon is missing components, it becomes incomplete, and its power will decrease. Generally, this situation is repairable.
"However, if too many small components are missing, the remaining components cannot exert even a portion of the Spirit Weapon's power. In this situation, the components are fragments, and they can only be used as sharp weapons, with very low value for repair and use.
"But if these small components can be combined and still exert a portion of the Spirit Weapon's power, then they are incomplete Spirit Weapons, which have certain value for use and repair."
Eric continued to add, "Don't underestimate incomplete Spirit Weapons!
"I learned from a friend in the Virtual Universe that some low-grade Spirit Weapons are simplified versions of high-grade Spirit Weapons, and can also be considered incomplete high-grade Spirit Weapons."
After speaking, he pointed to the metal box in front of Ender and said, "What I gave you is an incomplete Spirit Weapon composed of twenty basic small components—the Sky Piercing Sword!"
