Chapter 186

Xie Juanhan told them to go play and come back in the afternoon to take turns.

Xie Juanhan's family could be divided into at least four groups to take turns incubating the eggs.

They take a nap while incubating the eggs.

With this allocation, hatching the eggs shouldn't be too difficult.

The two dragons themselves incubated the eggs, and the Magic Power they released was abundant, which was extremely beneficial for the hatching of the bird eggs.

Especially Xie Juanhan's Dragon Power; even Harper and the others, nourished by the Dragon Power, became stronger, and their fur became smoother.

As time went by, Xie Juanhan and the others could clearly feel that the baby birds were about to hatch.

"The heartbeat is so clear, it should hatch in a few days." The White Dragon looked down at the bird eggs and said to Telingewei, "I just wonder if the first chick will hatch while I'm incubating it, or while you're incubating it?"

The Demon Bird is a magical creature and is drawn to the aura of powerful beings.

The first chick is most likely to hatch when the two are incubating the eggs.

However, they were all wrong.

On an ordinary night, the furry creatures lay on the Demon Bird, sleeping soundly, some even snoring softly.

Nibote snored, kicked his leg, and rolled over.

Just as its hind legs sprang out, a clear "crack" sound came from beneath them.

Nibote froze in the darkness.

It lay motionless in the darkness, its four paws in the air and its tail taut.

Inside the study, several pairs of eyes, glowing with a greenish light, had opened at some point and were all staring at Nibote.

Quiet and secluded.

Nibote whispered, "Ugh."

It really didn't kick the bird's egg on purpose.

The bird egg was clearly broken.

They all smelled a damp, warm odor.

"Coo coo."

A sound came from the darkness; it was the call of the young Tuonai'er Demon Bird.

--Bird chicks have hatched!

The fluffy creatures swarmed together, staring at the newly hatched chicks in the darkness.

Haxi even jumped up and spat fireballs at the whale oil wall lamps on both sides of the wall.

The whale oil lamps came on, and the furry creatures quickly spotted the newly hatched babies.

This is a little bird with sparse feathers.

However, from its few remaining damp feathers, one can see that its feathers are soft and shiny, seemingly shimmering with light.

It looks completely different from the chicks that hatched from the wild Tuonai'er Demon Bird last year!

Harper immediately turned around and ran to scratch at Xie Juanhan and Telingewei's door.

Other furry creatures followed suit.

"Chirp!"

Harper and the others called out anxiously.

Telingewei snapped back to reality immediately, his voice low and deep. "They're here."

Haxi urged them to hurry, otherwise the Demon Bird chicks wouldn't be newborn chicks anymore, and what they saw wouldn't be the sight of a fledgling hatching. "Chirp chirp chirp, chirp!"

Xie Juanhan and Telingewei got out of bed in the middle of the night, got dressed, and went next door to see the newly hatched baby birds.

In that short time, other baby birds hatched one after another.

These newly hatched chicks have sparse, bright white feathers that shimmer and shine.

Xie Juanhan felt that the scene looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen a similar scene before.

"Chirp!" Haxi Xie Juanhan's hand with his head, signaling him not to get distracted and to focus on watching the baby birds.

Xie Juanhan smiled and picked up the baby birds one by one to examine them.

The newly hatched chicks are already full of energy.

They struggled in Xie Juanhan's palm, pecking at his hand with their tender red beaks, and chirping softly.

Telingewei saw that Xie Juanhan's fingers were red, so he took the fledgling from his hand and gently cradled it.

Xie Juanhan had already examined it closely. "A level three Demon Bird, but among level three Demon Bird, it belongs to the higher rank."

Haxi immediately asked expectantly, "Chirp?"

Xie Juanhan sneered, "Reaching level four isn't that easy. Even after proper recovery, reaching the peak of level three is already quite an achievement."

Haxi tilted his head and thought for a long time, then decided it was acceptable. "Chirp!"

Xie Juanhan couldn't help but laugh when he saw Haxi's resigned expression.

The level-three Demon Bird is just their domestic fowl; it's already frightening enough if word gets out.

They don't insist on having level four Demon Bird or anything like that.

Chapter 186 [VIP]

The Tuonai'er Demon Bird in Xie Juanhan's family started hatching one after another, and their house was filled with the sound of birds chirping all day long.

After the chicks hatched in large numbers, Xie Juanhan and his team discovered that the chicks' plumage was indeed lighter in color, clearly different from that of the wild Tuonai'er Demon Bird.

They are also larger and more active.

Not long after hatching, the baby birds ate the eggshells, cleaned their wet feathers, and then ran around the yard on their toes.

Even before they hatched, they fully displayed the nature of the Tuonai'er Demon Bird, running incredibly fast, completing a lap around the yard in the blink of an eye.

Xie Juanhan and the others specially repaired the fence in the yard, so the baby birds couldn't squeeze out.

There's also Magic Wand Tree in the yard helping to keep watch.

Therefore, even though the lively and active little birds run around all day, they still stay at home.

"They can run too fast," Xie Juanhan said. "Let's build them a birdhouse first, and then make other plans in the spring."

The adult Tuonai'er Demon Bird were kept by them near the farmland.

By this time, the rice had been harvested, and the Star Berry and Golden Vine Pumpkin were dormant.

Their vast farmlands are planted only with seasonal vegetables.

Ten giant Demon Bird roam freely in the fields every day, eating vegetables and digging for insects whenever they want, and they are visibly healthy.

Xie Juanhan plans to release the baby birds into the farmland when spring arrives and the weather is less cold, so that the giant Demon Bird can lead them around.

It's still early spring, and the weather is very cold, so we can't release the baby birds out yet.

Even though these were chicks of a level three Demon Bird, Xie Juanhan was still worried that they would get cold and sick if released in this weather.

They hadn't raised poultry much before, and they only started raising Tuonai'er Demon Bird last year, so they didn't have much experience in raising them.

The Elf and the humans Xie Juanhan and his companions knew all reminded them that young birds were very susceptible to illness and easily infected each other.

Xie Juanhan and his team had put in a lot of effort to hatch this large batch of chicks, so they naturally couldn't let their guard down.

"Ding ding ding-- knock knock knock--"

Xie Juanhan and Telingewei, carrying hammers, nails, and other tools, were nailing a nest for the baby birds next to the Magic Wand Tree.

Fortunately, the Magic Wand Tree has grown quite large this year, and they can use Magic Wand Tree trunk as a load-bearing structure to prevent the birdhouse from collapsing during heavy snowfall.

While Xie Juanhan and the others were busy, a little bird strolled over, blinking its beady eyes and looking at them curiously.

Xie Juanhan felt a series of "cooing" sounds around him. He turned around and saw that Nibote had come over at some point and was lying next to him.

The baby birds followed Nibote and ran over.

Xie Juanhan took off his gloves and rubbed Nibote's neck. "Playing with the baby birds?"

Nibote sighed in a convincing manner, "Ugh."

For some reason, the little birds insisted on following Nibote.

Wherever Nibote went, they followed, like little shadows.

Nibote waited patiently for two days, but eventually lost patience. Seeing the little birds clinging to him, he flapped his wings, flew into the air, and disappeared.

As a result, the baby birds hopped and jumped around the fence, but couldn't get out. They just chirped loudly by the fence.

At first, their voices were still tender and clear.

As they chirped, most of the chicks developed hoarse voices, but they still didn't stop.

Nibote flew up to a tree and quietly observed.

It observed for an entire afternoon, and the baby birds chirped all afternoon.

Although Xie Juanhan checked and said the baby birds were fine and that they could just chirp as they pleased.

Nibote was still worried, so he took the initiative to come down and take care of the baby birds.

From then on, while the other furry birds would sometimes go out to play or do other things, Nibote always stayed at home taking care of the baby birds.

Xie Juanhan took off his gloves and cupped Nibote's face in his hands. "Why are you so good? You've worked so hard."

Nibote lowered his head and nuzzled Xie Juanhan with his round head. "Meow."

Xie Juanhan and his team also had to deal with the magic array on the Kaonielin Plain.

Sylvan and the Dwarf are doing repairs there; they go to check on it roughly every two or three days.

After careful consideration and discussion with Xie Juanhan, Telingewei decided to postpone taking out the Demonic Core from the boulder.

They do not currently have a need to use a large number of Demonic Core.

These Demonic Core have been sealed inside the boulder for over a thousand years. Despite being protected by numerous layers of magical defenses, no one knows what's inside.

If we rashly melt down the boulder and extract it, the Demonic Core inside will quickly weather away and the Magic Power will dissipate, which would be a huge waste of Telingewei's mother's good intentions.

However, even though they couldn't remove it, the Dwarf helped dig away the soil, exposing most of the boulder.

When he had nothing to do, Telingewei liked to sit on the boulder to rest, feel the breeze, daydream, and look at the sky above.

That day, after Xie Juanhan and Telingewei returned from the Kaonielin Plain, the house was quiet, without a single beast in sight.

Xie Juanhan looked up at the sky.

In winter, it gets dark early; even though it's not too late, it's almost completely dark.
