CHAPTER 588: CHAPTER 45: DISCIPLINING THE GIANT DRAGON (PART 3)

Initially, Yue Jinghua thought that the figures in the sky were a flock of eagles and vultures; after all, the Dragon Cave neighbored Yun Jiu Peak, so it was not strange for a large number of eagles and vultures to appear at night.

However, as the black dots grew increasingly numerous and enlarged, Yue Jinghua gasped in shock upon recognizing their true appearance.

The Human-faced Falcon, a high-level Mysterious Bird that lived between the cliffs of Yun Jiu Peak and the Dragon Cave. They have heads resembling the Human Race with clear facial features, while their bodies are like that of the immense Rocs, draped in rigid fur.

These birds inherently possess ice attributes, able to spray a copious amount of Ice Nails imbued with chilly air. When facing enemies, the Ice Nails explode instantaneously, creating an ice fog that slows movement and induces freezing.

Mere estimation suggested that there were no fewer than a hundred Human-faced Falcons in the sky, each one robust and strong.

Yue Jinghua inwardly lamented; this situation was clearly one heading for a confrontation.

Above the artificial lake, upon seeing the group of Human-faced Falcons approaching like dark clouds, the Hurricane Storm Dragon Nuoyan also let out a series of furious roars.

It flapped its wings, issuing a charge-like resounding dragon cry, long and powerful.

In the blink of an eye, dozens of Flying Dragons rose into the air from the Dragon Cave. Nuoyan gripped the newly laid Dark Beast Egg, still warm from the Mother Dragon’s body, and soared high into the sky.

Having spent decades with Zhan Tian, Nuoyan, compared to other Sub-Asian Dragons of the Dragon Cave, had already acquired the most rudimentary thinking ability of the Human Race.

It understood that in this unprecedented attack by the Human-faced Falcons, preserving the Dragon Egg and drawing the Human-faced Falcons away from the Dragon Cave was the best method to protect Long Dai.

Dozens of Flying Dragons charged towards the group of Human-faced Falcons in the sky.

The Cultivators who had rushed over after hearing the news saw this scene and immediately sent a distress signal towards Yun Jiu Peak, while the remaining Cultivators scattered to every corner of the Dragon Cave.

Just as Yue Jinghua was about to follow and check out the situation, behind her, on the artificial lake, the Mother Dragon Lan Dai emitted a mournful dragon cry.

Yue Jinghua halted her steps, ready to leave, and turned her head back, puzzled.

On the artificial lake, tears filled the eyes of the Mother Dragon Lan Dai, and because of the pain, a trace of blood flushed oozed through its beautiful blue skin.

It seemed in immense pain, and Yue Jinghua looked up at the sky.

The group of Flying Dragons had already gone off to chase the Human-faced Falcons, and Nuoyan was nowhere to be seen.

There were also no signs of any Cultivators around; Yue Jinghua dared not hesitate any longer and immediately jumped into the artificial lake.

But the Mother Dragon Lan Dai was rolling in pain, the waves in the lake were boiling, making it difficult for Yue Jinghua, who was not a strong swimmer, to get close as she swallowed several mouthfuls of water.

"Relax, I’m a friend," Yue Jinghua slowly released the Nine Revolutions Creation Technique from within her body, swimming with one hand and reaching towards the Mother Dragon with the other, placing her hand upon it.

Perhaps sensing the subtle relieving power of the Creation Power, the Mother Dragon stopped rolling.

"Awoo, awoo, ugly, it’s in a lot of pain, it seems to be saying there’s something else in its belly," the Gold Eater Worm could only comprehend parts of the Dragon Clan Language.

Upon closer inspection, Yue Jinghua saw that the belly of Lan Dai, who had already laid a Dragon Egg, was still distended.

Could it be that there was another egg inside the Mother Dragon’s belly?

Yue Jinghua tentatively reached out her hand toward the Mother Dragon Lan Dai, who, driven by maternal instinct, let out an angry dragon roar when she sensed the unfamiliar Dark Energy fluctuations.

Having no choice, the Gold Eater Worm took to the air, casting the "Forbidden Space Technique," temporarily sealing the mother dragon’s movement.

Yue Jinghua reached under the Mother Dragon’s belly; she could feel the warmth of the dragon’s body and the strong heartbeat.

Under the mother dragon’s belly was damp, with Dragon Liquid continuously flowing out, mingled with traces of blood. After groping for a moment, Yue Jinghua suddenly felt something smooth beneath her hand.

"A Dragon Egg?! The second Dragon Egg?" Yue Jinghua was utterly astonished. It was the second dragon egg that caused Lan Dai such pain.

On the Canglong Continent, there was no such thing as B-ultrasound technology, and the cultivators, including the Mother Dragon Lan Dai herself, were unaware that her belly had actually nurtured two dragon eggs.

One was the one that the Hurricane Storm Dragon Nuoyan had taken away earlier, and the other was still inside the mother dragon’s belly.

After searching with her hand for a while, Yue Jinghua finally discovered why the mother dragon was in such pain and unable to lay the egg; for some reason, this dragon egg was stuck between two of the mother dragon’s belly ribs.

"Aaaooh, ugly, stop dawdling. This guy is too big, and my small frame can’t take it," as the effects of the Forbidden Space waned, Mother Dragon Lan Dai regained her mobility.

"Roar--" With a violent roar, Mother Dragon Lan Dai spat out a jet of water, knocking Yue Jinghua flying.

"Stupid dragon, keep quiet for me," Yue Jinghua, dizzy from the blow of the water jet, had nowhere to vent her anger.

She used Pu’s Instant to appear above Lan Dai’s head instantly and slammed a heavy punch onto the mother dragon’s skull, "If you don’t want both mother and child to die, keep still."

That punch directly caused the mother dragon’s head to spin.

But immediately after, the mother dragon felt a warm and watery Dark Energy being injected into her body.

That Dark Energy was extremely pure, like an elixir, rapidly healing its tendons and body.

In Mother Dragon Lan Dai’s eyes, the initial stormy anger had turned to disbelief.

It suddenly understood that this member of the Human Race was helping it, helping it lay the egg.

As if an invisible voice was circling in her mind, "Breathe in, breathe out, hatch the dragon egg inside your belly."

Lan Dai’s emotions gradually calmed down. Its body floated back to the surface of the water, its breathing became stable, and its skin returned to its original aqua blue.

As Yue Jinghua continued to input Dark Energy, the mother dragon’s strength also recovered slightly. With the cooperation of her breathing, the mother dragon pushed hard, squeezing the dragon egg out from between her ribs.

Finally, after about half an hour, a new Dragon Egg slowly emerged from beneath Mother Dragon Lan Dai’s belly.

It was a beautiful dragon egg, different from the previous gray-blue one. This egg, which the mother dragon bore with endless pain and tribulation, was like a colorful gem, emitting a rainbow-like glow.

"It seems to be an extraordinary egg. In any case, the well-being of both mother and child is a blessing," Seeing this egg and feeling the strong life force emanating from inside the dragon egg, Yue Jinghua breathed a sigh of relief and began to Withdraw her Dark Energy.

Assisting such a huge creature in giving birth was truly no easy feat. Just as Yue Jinghua thought everything was successfully completed, a sharp pain struck her back.

Accompanied by that piercing pain, Yue Jinghua’s body surface began to rapidly develop a layer of ice crystals, visible to the naked eye, as her blood and Dark Energy inside her body came to a halt, all frozen still.
