Xian Qi 58 Breaks Shell

  At that time, Da Bai and Er Bai each gave Qiu Qiu a drop of their heart's blood - of course, the rabbit spirits were really not worth much, and they were eager to offer their heart's blood to Qiu Qiu, so as long as Qiu Qiu was willing, she could completely decide the life and death of these two rabbits.

  What can Xia Qiuxiu do to decide their life and death? Apart from being particularly greedy and good at selling cute, they seem to have the skill of giving birth to cubs that is worth showing off. If you want them to go out and fight like other people's spiritual pets, can they use rabbit claws to dig or rabbit teeth to bite?

  Of course, there are more than one way to tame a spirit pet. Da Bai and Er Bai did it voluntarily, but many others have to subdue some ferocious beasts as their spirit pets, which would not be willing to submit. So they beat them hard until they're scared into submission. After taming, they still need to cultivate a good relationship, otherwise, they'll have to constantly guard against the beast turning on its master, which is really unpredictable.

  But this method is definitely not applicable to dragon eggs. This dragon hasn't even hatched yet, and it's impossible to get its heart's blood. If you want to hit it... Qiuqiu imagined the scene of a child holding a stick and hitting an eggshell...

  It's really beyond imagination...

  Shi'er handed the dragon egg to Qiūqiū, who held it in her arms. Shi'er then began rummaging through the Qiankun bag, pulling out various bottles and jars that Qiūqiū didn't recognize, as well as some more familiar auxiliary materials like cinnabar, gold lacquer, jade powder, and agarwood.

  Qiuqiu watched as the child mixed all these things together in proportion, then scratched his wrist with his fingernail, and blood began to drip out drop by drop.

  Qiu was startled, but didn't make a sound.

  After the blood had soaked all the materials he had just prepared, he stopped his own bleeding and then used his fingers to paint the bright red paint on the eggshell.

  It's really hard to get a spiritual pet.

  She's shed so much blood and used up so many precious materials. If this spirit pet can't be raised, Qiu Qiu thinks she'll vomit blood.

  The dragon egg was picked up and painted into a big flower face in no time, densely packed, a good white-skinned egg became a big flower egg... looks a bit strange.

  Especially in such an environment, the round moon in the sky is bright and clean, and the lake water has also restored its original calmness. The ancient trees by the lake have dense branches and leaves, and the moonlight shines through the gaps of the branches and leaves onto the grassland. When you raise your head to look at the moon through the leaves, it seems like a piece of twinkling silver star.

  Qiu Qiu was worried, and Xi Er finally finished the last stroke, his face pale. Without needing to probe, Qiu Qiu knew he must have exhausted his vital energy.

  Shi'er took a step back and carefully examined the dragon egg from top to bottom, indeed there was nothing wrong with it.

  He staggered and Autumn quickly supported him.

  "Are you okay?"

  Dragon eggs are indeed good things, but it's not worth risking one's life for them.

  "Never mind. Let's deal with this another day... Don't force it."

  "Don't worry." The young man turned his head and said, "You have to help me out."

  "No problem." Qiuqiu thought, as long as it wasn't asking her to cut off an arm to feed the dragon. That was definitely no problem.

  Of course Xiaoyu wouldn't let her cut off her arm. Autumn still had that much confidence.

  But let's just say, if, hypothetically, the kid really needed her to chop off an arm for him one day, would she do it or not?

  Of course, there is no time for Qiuqiu to consider this hypothetical problem now, their time is precious and cannot be delayed.

  The child drew a six-foot square magic circle around the dragon egg and another magic circle outside it.

  Qiu Qiu suddenly felt something was different...

  Yes, indeed different.

  The shadow of the tree on the ground is different from just now, it has moved to one side.

  Qiu Qiu raised her head.

  It's not the shadow of the tree that moved, it's the moon above that moved.

  It was originally suspended above the lake surface. But now it has risen a lot. In this way, the tree shadow naturally moved with it.

  Because of Shi Er's calm demeanor, Qiu Qiu thought that the moon's movement was probably related to his formation.

  The full moon slowly wandered and finally stopped at the top of their heads, in the middle position of the night sky.

  Qiu Qiu raised her head and took a glance at the moon, then lowered it again to look at the dragon egg in the middle of the spell array.

  Those bright red symbols and patterns gradually lit up.

  He didn't turn around, he just grasped Xia Qiu's hand that was hanging by her side.

  Warm and pure spiritual power flowed gently from their clasped hands, flowing past the child.

  The light of the dragon egg doesn't seem to be reflected moonlight, but rather a light that shines from within the shell itself, with red and white hues intermingling, just like a giant neon lamp.

  A child is like a hollow reed; no matter how much spiritual energy passes through, it instantly disappears without a trace.

  Qiu Qiu felt empty and hollow inside, as if she had no foundation.

  Aren't they overestimating themselves?

  Dragons are such things that even if they haven't come out of their shells yet, they aren't ordinary objects and can't be controlled or taken by them now.

  To get something, you have to pay for it.

  Qiu Qiu thought this was a gamble, for that huge temptation, they bet everything they could.

  Maybe they won't win.

  Qiu Qiu turned her head and took a glance at Shi Er.

  He stared at the center of the formation, so focused and serious.

  Qiu Qiu's hand tightened around his involuntarily.

  She felt an odd sense of calm and didn't feel scared at all.

  The spiritual energy of the child entwined in her meridians, like a wild vine, slender but extremely tough, with a strong and unbreakable vitality. His spiritual energy filled the emptiness in her meridians.

  The brilliance of the dragon egg grew brighter and brighter, but the light was not dazzling.

  It was as if the wind had blown from somewhere, and the leaves and twigs on the ground were swept up by the gusts, hitting her face in a flurry. Autumn's eyes stung, and she instinctively tilted her head slightly to one side.

  The full moon on the top of one's head was dazzling for an instant, but the change also occurred in the blink of an eye, just like a broken porcelain plate. The round moon burst suddenly, and countless tiny silver light points fell, like a meteor shower.

  Qiuqiu was mesmerized by the scene.

  Too beautiful, also too unbelievable.

  Everything here is beyond common sense and seems so unbelievable. Everything in this space is so extraordinary, including this dragon egg that may be the only one in the world.

  Snowflakes fall fluttering down under the trees, on the grass, in the lake. Twinkling, gradually disappearing.

  When all the faint lights had disappeared, Autumn suddenly remembered to turn her head and look at that dragon egg.

  The mottled patterns on the eggshell have disappeared, and even the law array surrounding it has also disappeared. The dragon egg no longer glows, and like at first, it is spotless and quietly stays in its original place.

  "Didn't... didn't succeed?" Qiuqiu walked up to Longdan and squatted down.

  The child bent down just like her.

  He didn't make a sound.

  Of course, this is also his first time, and no one can guarantee whether this attempt will really succeed.

  Qiu Qiu lifted her hand and gently touched the eggshell.

  Just now the eggshell made her feel very solid, holding it was like holding a sturdy ceramic jar, heavy.

  But just as Qiuqiu's fingers touched the eggshell, the supposedly hard shell was like a fragile piece of paper and was actually poked through by her finger, creating a round hole.

  Autumn heard a very light sound, like the sound of people biting through thin crispy cookies.

  She looked at her own fingers and then at the eggshell, really couldn't believe that her thumb had such great strength.

  But she soon realized that it wasn't her strength that had increased, but rather the eggshell had become thinner and more brittle.

  This spirit pet seems to have no harvest, but the eggshell was broken by her.

  Was it all in vain after working hard for half a day?

  The dragon eggs were ruined by them.

  Two people stared at the eggshell with a hole in it and then looked at each other.

  The eggshell started with that round hole and a crack appeared.

  Then the cracks grew bigger and more numerous, spreading out like a spider's web.

  Qiu Qiu opened her eyes wide and saw a thin claw stretching out from the round hole.

  A piece of eggshell fell off and the hole became bigger.

  Then a head stretched out from the hole.

  Round nose, small ears, and on top of that, a layer of smooth, slightly transparent mucus with a fishy smell.

  Qiu Qiu held her breath.

  This is a dragon.

  There are probably very few people in this world who have had the opportunity to see how a dragon hatches from its egg.

  The little guy stretched out a paw, rummaged around, and half of his body was exposed. His paws waved in the air several times, accurately grasping Xia Qiu's fingertips, dragging his wet body completely out of the eggshell, crawling onto Xia Qiu's hand, and holding her fingers tightly with his paws.

  This young dragon looks slightly different from what Qiū Qiū imagined.

  The adult dragon in paintings and people's descriptions is very majestic and domineering, with a tall and agile body, powerful sharp claws, horns on its head, and scales all over its body.

  But the young dragon in front of me has a slightly larger head, and its body is not slender, only about the length of an autumn palm, round and plump. There are no horns on its head, and no scales can be seen on its body, even its eyes are not open, still tightly closed.

  Qiu Qiu looked at Shi Er with suspicion.

  Is he really infallible? This doesn't seem like a dragon at all.

  Maybe what they picked up at first wasn't a dragon egg?

  It could be some other kind of strange beast - this is also possible.

  It rubbed against Qiū Qiū's fingers, its movements full of affectionate intimacy. Qiū Qiū leaned in to examine it closely, and in the air, the mucus on its body quickly dried up, leaving only a silver residue behind.

  The little guy's head knocked against Qiuqiu's hand a few times and finally slowly opened his eyes.

  Its eyes were not black, but a bit golden in color, shining brightly. It held onto Qiuqiu's finger and stared at her, Qiuqiu was unsure if it had vision or not, wasn't it said that newborn babies' vision isn't fully developed yet? This little guy was staring at her, but it didn't necessarily mean it saw her.
