Hatching an Anomaly

"Was it damaged?" When Lin Shen saw cracks appearing on the Gene Mutation Egg, his first reaction was that it had been damaged when it rolled down the mountain earlier.

Then he thought, this was the Giant King's Gene Mutation Egg, how could it be damaged so easily?

"If it wasn't damaged, then this thing must have reached the time to hatch and is hatching," Lin Shen thought.

Wei Wufu watched from the side without speaking, just silently using his gene mutation power. Mysterious substance surged from his body, turning into a carapace to protect his entire body.

According to Lin Shen, the Giant King was likely a mutated Crystal Gene Level creature, so its offspring would naturally also be a mutated Crystal Gene Level creature. Even in its newly hatched, ignorant state, it probably wouldn't be easy to tame it.

More and more cracks appeared on the Gene Mutation Egg. Lin Shen also took out his Capsule Gun. If the little thing inside attacked him, he would make it suffer a bit.

Crack! Crack!

The cracks on the Gene Mutation Egg increased. Suddenly, it split in half from the middle, and a round object rolled out.

Lin Shen and Wei Wufu, who had been prepared for a beast-taming battle, were both stunned when they saw what the thing looked like.

Even the look in their eyes when they saw the thing became extremely astonished and disbelieving.

"What is this thing..." Lin Shen rubbed his eyes, wondering if there was something wrong with them.

But no matter how Lin Shen rubbed, all he saw was that chubby thing.

What rolled out of the Gene Mutation Egg was not a Gene Mutation Creature.

The reason it was said not to be a Gene Mutation Creature was that it didn't have any metal parts on its body. It had white feathers, a round body, red eyes, and pink claws. It was clearly a fat white pigeon.

A Gene Mutation Creature could not possibly be made of flesh and blood, so this fat white bird didn't look like a Gene Mutation Creature no matter how you looked at it.

But it clearly came out of a Gene Mutation Egg, so what else could it be if not a Gene Mutation Creature?

Not only did Lin Shen not understand, but even Wei Wufu had a bewildered look on his face.

While the two of them were full of questions, the little thing swayed its body and waddled towards the fragments of the Gene Mutation Egg.

Perhaps because it was too fat, it walked like a duck, wiggling its butt, which was both comical and a little silly.

The little thing pecked down with one bite, startling both Lin Shen and Wei Wufu.

That Gene Mutation Egg was heavy and incomparable, and extremely hard. It rolled down the mountain, shattering large rocks, but it was completely unharmed.

Such hard fragments were easily pecked apart by the little thing, and it quickly swallowed them piece by piece.

"This fat bird is indeed a Gene Mutation Creature. I just don't know why it turned out like this. Never mind, I'll tame it first." Lin Shen rushed over, wanting to snatch the fragments, planning to use his usual methods to tame this strange Gene Mutation Creature.

Just as Lin Shen rushed close to the fragments, before he could pick them up, he saw the fat bird that had discovered him waddling its butt and running towards him.

This startled Lin Shen, and he couldn't help but take a few steps back. Wei Wufu also looked as if he was facing a formidable enemy.

Because the fat bird was too fat, it didn't walk fast. It flapped its wings a few times in a hurry, but perhaps it was really too fat. Let alone flying, it couldn't even jump, and it couldn't catch up to Lin Shen.

Just as Lin Shen was looking at its comical appearance and feeling a bit amused and helpless, the fat bird's figure suddenly flashed and disappeared from the spot.

"Not good!" Lin Shen immediately realized something was wrong. Before he could do anything, he found that the disappeared fat bird had appeared at his feet, rubbing its round head against his calf, looking as if it was acting cute and spoiled.

"This..." Lin Shen felt that he had truly seen something new today. He had never seen or heard of such a Gene Mutation Creature.

He cautiously reached out and stroked the feathers on the fat bird's body. The fat bird didn't resist at all, and even leaned its body against Lin Shen's hand.

As Lin Shen stroked it, he became even more certain that it was truly made of flesh and blood. Beneath the fluffy white feathers was warm flesh, definitely not cold metal.

"What exactly is this thing? Does it have a Pet Key on it?" Lin Shen picked up the fat bird and examined it carefully. The fat bird was very cooperative, staying still, its neck retracted, its red eyes also curiously looking at Lin Shen.

It was one thing for the Giant King's egg not to hatch into a little Giant King, Lin Shen could somewhat understand it turning into a bird. The problem was, how did it turn into a fat pigeon made of flesh and blood?

After examining it for a while, he couldn't see anywhere on its body where a Pet Key could be hidden.

"Key... Do you have a key... Give me the key..." Lin Shen said, looking at the fat bird.

The fat bird tilted its head, looking at him with a puzzled expression.

Seeing that the fat bird didn't understand, Lin Shen put it down and took out a Pet Key to show it. "You... have this thing... give it to me..."

The fat bird still didn't understand, its small face filled with confusion and ignorance. It waddled over to Lin Shen's feet, rubbing its head affectionately against his leg and making cooing sounds.

"Alright, alright, stop rubbing, go eat your food." Lin Shen was speechless and helpless. He picked up the fat bird and put it back next to the Gene Mutation Egg fragments.

The fat bird happily lowered its head to peck at the fragments, wiggling as it did so. It really did look a bit silly and cute.

"What do you think?" Lin Shen asked Wei Wufu, who was standing nearby, with a wry smile.

Wei Wufu stared at the fat bird for a long time before finally squeezing out four words: "Too fat, lose weight."

"I know it's fat... I wasn't talking about that... Forget it... Pretend I didn't ask..." Lin Shen was speechless.

The fat bird was about the size of a regular pigeon, just much fatter, almost round. Coupled with its white feathers, from a distance it looked like a snowball.

Its body wasn't big, but its appetite was considerable. It ate all those Gene Mutation Egg fragments in just a short while.

He had no idea how such a small body could eat so many fragments.

After eating, the fat bird waddled back to Lin Shen, stretching its head to rub against him again. Its small claws also scrabbled at him, as if trying to climb up.

Lin Shen reached out and picked it up. The fat bird's weight hadn't increased at all.

Even with the Sacrifice to Heaven blessing, Lin Shen found it difficult to hold the Gene Mutation Egg. The fat bird had eaten all the Gene Mutation Egg fragments, but its weight was still very light, not much heavier than a regular pigeon, as if it hadn't eaten those fragments at all.

"Let's go back first." Lin Shen put the fat bird into his backpack, leaving the opening unzipped.

This backpack was obtained from Tian Xin. Tian Xin said it was a Heaven Brand, a famous brand on the planet he lived on.

The fat bird was very obedient, staying inside the bag. Its round head poked out of the bag, its red eyes curiously looking at everything around it.

I wonder if getting this thing is a blessing or a curse, Lin Shen thought to himself. Now, if he were to throw the fat bird away, he felt a bit reluctant.

After all, although this thing was a bit strange, anyone could see that it possessed strong abilities.
