"Crack crack crack..."
As the cracks on Taoyong's thigh grew larger and larger, pieces of terracotta began to detach from Taoyong, revealing strings of thumb-sized, oval eggs within him.
The egg-shaped objects within Taoyong, no longer restricted by the terracotta, finally lost their balance after a piece of terracotta fell off, tilting and pouring out of Taoyong's body, piling up at his feet.
And more and more piled up, soon forming a small mound, plugging the hole on Taoyong's thigh.
"Crack~"
A sound of an eggshell breaking abruptly rang out.
The egg at the very top suddenly cracked.
The broken egg writhed.
A shiny black leg emerged from the gap in the egg.
The next second!
A fearsome head popped out of the egg.
It was a thumb-sized black beetle.
The black beetle thrashed about for a while.
Making a "buzz buzz" sound.
The beetle took flight.
With the beetle's takeoff,
A flurry of "rustle rustle" sounds came from the mound of eggs.
