Fire Dragon Song

Chapter 142

With the help of Tino and the other three females, Yun Xiao felt a lot easier.When Yunxiao woke up the next morning, Tino, Owen and Youyi had already fed all the children, big and small, even the female who had just given birth. They also followed Yunxiao's instructions last night, using hot water He scrubbed off the dirt on his body, applied medicine, and changed into thick long trousers and long-sleeved clothes.The three males returned to the mountain plains after breakfast.There is a shortage of manpower over there, and there are white-feathered orcs on this side of the cave, so they don't need to stay to help.

Since the two suspected eggs appeared, Hong Chi's attention to his big white egg has been completely shifted to the two "eggs" in the small tent.To be precise, the egg with the little female inside.However, with Yunhuo's supervision, and Yunxiao carefully told him not to go in, Hongchi was rarely obedient and just wandered outside the small tent, never going in once.But he always asks how Yunxiaodan is.

Yunxiao was pregnant, and Tino and the others took care of the cooking, laundry and taking care of the child. The happiest thing was Yunhuo. He was really worried, because he was afraid that Yunxiao and the cub in his stomach would be in danger if he was not careful.

Yun Xiao asked Hong Chi and learned that the cubs born to the females of the white-feathered orcs also had such a membrane, but the membrane was not as thick.Every time, the leader cuts the membrane and takes out the cubs.They just vaguely felt that the cub would not survive if it was not taken out.In many cases, the cubs in the membrane will turn black all over and have purple lips when they come out. Such cubs basically cannot live for half a day.

Yun Xiao couldn't explain what was going on.He always felt that the white-feathered orcs were a degeneration of some kind of orcs, so that they forgot many things they should know, and reproduced entirely by instinct. As a result, this group of people is facing extinction today.Hong Chi didn't know if the original White Feather Orcs lived in the Death Forest. He was born in the Death Forest. He watched the females and cubs die one by one, and watched the people's reproduction become more and more difficult.

However, things seem to be turning around now.I don't know how many years, they actually had a female who gave birth to two cubs safely.Although the two cubs are still in the thick membrane (eggshell), they are currently sleeping in the liquid in the thick membrane with pink and tender bodies, and their small hands and feet can move.Now only the four females Yunxiao, Tino, Youyi and Aowen can enter the small tent, and if it is daytime, none of Tino and the others will enter.

Two days later, the young pups in the membrane were still developing normally and breathing smoothly.However, in order to prevent accidents, Yunxiao will "irradiate" the two eggs with white light.On the third day, before Yunxiao had time to go to the small tent to see the two eggs, another female was about to give birth.

After the first time, everyone became much calmer the second time.In the past two days, Yunxiao asked Yunhuo and Hongchi to set up another tent on the flat ground downstream, and there was no room left in front of the cave.As soon as the second female reacted in labor pain, Yun Xiao asked the male to carry her over, and he and Tino prepared the things needed for delivery.

This time the white-feathered orcs have learned their lesson.With a clear cry, Hongchi called the clansmen in other places over, telling them that another female was about to give birth.Then wait quietly with the rest of the tribe for the second female to give birth.And because the first female survived safely, the second female had significantly less fear.But a few cubs were still afraid, namely Red Cub, Big Cub, and Black Cub.Anyway, as long as there is a female giving birth, they are afraid that it is Abba who will give birth.I don't know how many times the three big cubs have seen the scene of a female dying due to childbirth, and they are so frightened.

Yunhuo and three big cubs were waiting outside the tent downstream.Hong Chi directed the clansmen to handle the prey, and then he and Yun Huo boiled broth and hot water together.

Yun Xiao is still using his healing ability to help the female relieve her pain and save her energy.After nearly six hours of ordeal, the second female also gave birth to an egg-shaped pup with thick membranes.This time it turned out to be a little female.When Yunxiao told the good news to Yunhuo and Hongchi outside in the tent, the entire Rib Forest resounded with the excited cries of the White Feather Orcs again.

The second female gave birth to only one litter.Yun Xiao also scrubbed his body clean with Tino and the others, put on long-sleeved clothes and trousers, and put on a hat.White-feathered males are very willing to care for their females.Yun Xiao earnestly told the two males who wanted to take care of the female the precautions word by word. After they clearly understood, Yun Xiao safely handed over the female to the two males to take care of.

In the newly born little "soft egg", the little female's body is pink, and the skin looks a little wrinkled because of the fluid in the membrane.Yun Xiao wrapped this precious egg with the softest animal skin, and then asked Yun Huo to quickly take him to the small tent.Putting this egg into the third nest, Yun Xiao smiled and exhaled.

"Gu." Someone was in a hurry.

Yun Xiao lifted the animal skin on the first nest and looked at the eggs inside.Seeing this, surprise appeared in Yunxiao's eyes, then he reached out and touched the egg lightly, then his eyes were deep in thought.Putting down the animal skin, Yun Xiao lifted the animal skin on the second nest, and also reached out to touch the egg.After putting down the animal skin, Yun Xiao got out of the small tent.

"Goo!"

The only one who is so anxious is Hong Chi.Yun Xiao said: "Go to the cave and talk about it."

"Cuckoo!" Hong Chi's red eyes turned even redder, isn't it soft? !

"Don't worry. Yunhuo, come here."

"coming."

After entering the cave, Yunxiao sat down with his chubby belly supported by Yunhuo, and said to Hongchi, "Hongchi, I think the white-feathered orcs should actually be egg-born orcs."

"Goo?"

Yun Huo said: "Isn't it just an egg that a female gives birth to? It's just that the egg shell is a little soft."

Yun Xiao shook his head, and pondered: "It's not that the eggshell is soft. I don't know if it's because the eggshell is not fully developed in the female's belly, or this is the real way for white-feathered orcs to reproduce." Amidst the confusion, Yun Xiao tried his best to speak in a language that Hong Chi could understand: "Little Five and Little Six are the two cubs who came down from Mr. Most. Their thick film has become whiter, and they can hardly be seen. Cubs in the membrane. The membrane is also harder than when it was just born. If it is a normal egg laying, the eggs should be white and hard like the dragon eggs you brought back. Now Xiaowu and Xiaoliu I feel like the outer membrane is changing towards a real eggshell."

Having said that, Yun Xiao stopped to give Hong Chi time to digest.Yunhuo probably understood, and asked, "Yunxiao, do you mean that when they were born, they were supposed to be white eggs like dragon eggs?"

Yun Xiao hesitated and said: "I'm not sure about this. If it's that kind of hard-shelled egg, it's difficult for the female to give birth. If it's that kind of soft eggshell, it's relatively easier for the female to give birth, because the egg will be squeezed during production. Soft eggs will be more resistant to pressure. But the eggshell has indeed turned white and hardened now. So I don’t know if the egg is not fully developed, or the egg is born in the form of a soft shell, and then needs a later stage. Time to continue growing."

Yunhuo frowned: "Will the cub have problems if the eggshell changes?"

This is too esoteric for Hong Chi.And Yunxiao can't be 100% sure that he can let the eggshell continue to calcify without taking the cub out.But if this is indeed a necessary process, if you take out the cubs ahead of time, it will be lifelong damage to the cubs.Yun Xiao was also caught in a dilemma.Hong Chi remained silent, as if she was still digesting Yun Xiao's meaning.After thinking for a while, Yun Xiao stood up holding Yun Huo's arm: "Hong Chi, you come with me, Yun Huo you also come."

There wasn't enough space in the small tent, so Yunxiao brought Yunhuo in first, and showed Yunhuo the animal skins on the first two dens.Yunhuo frowned when he saw the situation of the two eggs.Yun Xiao put down the hide and said, "I think the eggshell is calcified. All the egg-laying animals we have seen so far have calcified hard eggshells. The first is to protect the young in the egg, and the second is calcification. It's also a form of nutrition."

Yunhuo asked: "Can you feel if the cub in the egg is still alive?"

Yun Xiao was embarrassed, and shook his head: "I can't feel it."

Yun Huo frowned and thought deeply, after a while, he said: "You let Hong Chi in, I'll tell him."

Yun Xiao worried: "Let's observe again, maybe the cub needs this stage."

"Don't worry, I won't let Hongchi take them out, Hongchi should be able to sense whether the cub is still alive, let him come in and feel it."

With Yunhuo's explanation, Yunxiao was relieved.He went out and called Hong Chi in.

As soon as Hongchi came in, Yunhuo said rudely and simply: "Come here and feel if the two cubs are still alive." He lifted the animal hide on the first litter, regardless of whether Hongchi had this ability or not.Hong Chi's red eyes instantly stared at Xiao Wu's (little female) egg.

"Goo!" Why can't I see it!

"Don't ask so many questions, come here and see if Xiao Wu is still alive."

This is a big deal!Hong Chi stretched out her hand and gently placed it on the eggshell, closing her eyes.A few minutes later, Hong Chi withdrew his hand and screamed excitedly, he could feel the life inside was very strong!

Yunhuo put down the animal skin and opened Xiao Liu's.

"This one."

Hong Chi immediately stretched out her hand.After another few minutes, Hong Chi opened her eyes with obvious joy, and the life in this egg is also very vigorous!

"Okay, let's go out and come back tomorrow."

Putting down the animal skin, Yunhuo dragged Hongchi, who was unwilling to leave, out of the small tent.He didn't need to explain, Yun Xiao, who was waiting worriedly outside, had a relaxed smile on his face, and he heard Hong Chi's "cuckoo".

"Then let the cub stay inside. Hongchi, come back to feel it at night."

"Goo!"

Hong Chi plans to settle down here in the cave before the cub "comes out".Yunhuo's eyes were burning, this guy must have been here for a long time!Now there are even more excuses not to leave!

■

The first time is born, the second time is familiar, and the third time is practice makes perfect.Four days after the second female gave birth, the last female, in much anticipation, laid two eggs.To the ecstasy of the White Feather Beastman, the female gave birth to two little females!Of the three females, two gave birth to two, and there were four young females in total.This shows that the fecundity rate of white-feathered females is very high.It can also be learned from the White Feather Orc that the previous females had a high chance of giving birth to baby females, but the survival rate of the small females was very low.And because of one reason or another, the white-feathered orcs were facing extinction with such a high female birth rate, Yun Xiao felt very heavy.Especially every time he sees Red Cub and the others, he feels very distressed.

In the past few days, Xiaowu and Xiaoliu's eggs have completely calcified, even bigger than their soft eggs when they were just born, and turned into real big white eggs.Hong Chi can sense the cub's breath of life, which allows Yun Xiao to "experiment" with confidence.In the two completely calcified white eggs, according to Hong Chi, the vitality is very strong.He had never felt such a strong breath of life belonging to a cub.Xiaoqi's eggs also began to calcify.The current situation preliminarily verified Yun Xiao's guess. Perhaps, the cubs of the White Feather Orcs still need to go through a second stage of eggshell calcium development after birth.

Yun Xiao couldn't find out the real reason why Chief Bai Yu always wanted to take out the cubs.In Hong Chi's memory, the previous leader did this, so he also learned it.But one thing Yunxiao can be sure of is that the death forest is not suitable for females and newborn cubs.The second cub, the third cub, and the fourth cub were crawling very quickly now, and they could spread their wings and fly for a short distance. When Bi Yunxiao first saw them, they didn't look like the same three cubs.The three cubs have ruddy complexions, their bellies are bulging every day, and their little paws are especially powerful when they grab Yunhuo.Not to mention the changes between Red Cub and Black Cub.If Big Cub hadn't been injured, he might have grown taller and stronger like Red Cub and Black Cub.

The three females gave birth safely to five cubs, four of which were precious little females.Yun Xiao's status in the eyes of the White Feather Orcs almost caught up with their leader who only robbed them of food.The fruits, fish, eggs, etc. that Yunxiao likes to eat will be delivered to him by the white-feathered orcs every day. Everyone suppresses their greed and gives Yunxiao the animal milk first.Yunxiao's belly is almost four months old, and it is very big, even bigger than some orc females when they were about to give birth.The white feather orcs would keep a certain distance in front of Yun Xiao every time, for fear of touching his stomach.

Yunhuo didn't dare to leave Yunxiao an inch now, and all the hunting was left to the White Feather orcs.Hong Chi also walked around Yunxiao with his dragon egg every day, and was also a little worried about Yunxiao's big belly, he had never seen such a big belly.Fortunately, all three females have given birth, and the next thing Yunxiao has to do is to wait for the birth in peace.The big cub's injury has stabilized, and now he is slowly recovering, and the wounds of the seriously injured males are also healed.The dozen or so white-feathered males who were brought back from the brink of death by Yun Xiao became members of the Tuzuo family.

Most of them can no longer fly to hunt.Yunxiao doesn't want to see them lose their right to live because they can't hunt, and Yunhuo doesn't want Yunxiao's efforts for them to be in vain.Yunhuo asks them to help collect firewood, handle prey, and take care of children. Anyway, they can do housework for them, and Yunhuo is responsible for their food.Hong Chi had no objection to this, and neither did the other white-feathered orcs. These dozen or so white-feathered orcs were more willing to stay by Yunhuo and Yunxiao's side, or they wanted to stay by Yunxiao's side.

It's just that Yunhuo has another trouble.How big is the house to live in?

Coming out of the small tent with Hong Chi again, Yun Xiao had a joyful smile on his face.Xiao Ba and Xiao Jiu's eggs also began to calcify, and the next step is to wait for the cubs to break their shells by themselves.

"Goo."

Yun Xiao smiled and shook his head: "I don't know when they will come out. Maybe your dragon eggs have broken their shells, but they haven't come out yet."

Hong Chi looked down at the big white egg in her arms.I don't know if it's because the cubs in the clan have turned into white eggs, but recently Hong Chi likes to hug his dragon egg everywhere he goes.

"Papa papa yo yo..."

From the woods ahead came the cries of red cubs and black cubs, accompanied by the roars of a few small animals, Yun Xiao smiled deeply: "The children are back." Then he shouted: "Abba heard it."

"Yo yo yo……"

The big cubs who went hunting and playing in the forest with the white feather orcs came back.Yun Xiao opened his arms, and Hong Chi beside him turned and left, obviously not interested in the male cub.

Not far away, Tino, You Yi, and Owen looked at Elder Yunxiao with respectful expressions.With the blessing of Lord Beast God, their tribe will definitely get better and stronger.

"Yunxiao, don't hug them."

Yunhuo came over and stopped the red cub and black cub who were about to pounce on Yunxiao at the right time, and placed them on his shoulders.Chiro, Boysen, Shuva and Isol have also returned, and several children have gained a lot.

Yun Xiao touched the heads of several children: "Thanks for your hard work."

"Yo yo pa pa pa pa..." Red Cub shouted, he wanted to eat pocket pancakes!

"Okay, let's eat pocket pie today."

A certain big white bird with red eyes regained energy in an instant.

"Goo!"

"Hatch your eggs honestly!"

Only Yunhuo will be angry.

"Goo!" I want to eat!

"Roar!" Yunhuo transformed.

Hong Chi put down the dragon egg and spread her wings.

"Yo yo..." Red Cub pouted, the leader is going to grab the delicious food that Dad made for him again!

"Yo yo..." Hei Zai pouted, why didn't the leader go back to "home".

"Pa, pa..." The big cub, who was still a little limping when he was walking, came over and took his father's hand, asking him to rest.

"Abba (uncle), let me help you."

"Hehehe..." Yun Xiao stroked the heads of the three big boys, feeling extremely happy.

In the small tent, among a few calcified eggs, five little lives were breathing evenly.They still don't know how difficult it is for their life to come, and what a coincidence it is.Red Cub, who pestered Dad to eat pocket pies, would not know what kind of changes he brought to his tribe because he couldn't resist the temptation of food and came here to eat.

Red Cub's paws lightly brushed Pa's stomach.Although he can't speak, although he can't compare with normal orc children in many ways, he has begun to worry because Abba's belly is getting bigger and bigger.In the hearts of Redkit, Blackkit, and Bigkit, a big belly meant death, a fear that haunted them deeply.At this time, Yun Xiao never imagined how crazy these three cubs would be when that day came.
