Outside the village, the fierce bird, which seemed to be cast from molten iron, was also startled. It suddenly raised its head, and its eyes shot out two beams of light like lightning, staring fixedly at the altar.
The egg that was brushed by the tender green willow branch emitted thousands of rays of auspicious light and fog. It seemed to have suddenly been "deified", crystal clear and brilliant, extremely astonishing.
On the eggshell, those spots were shining like small suns, emitting a strong and blazing light, and emerging with a vigorous vitality. Moreover, more patterns appeared around the spots, complex and difficult to understand, extremely dazzling, like dragons and snakes rising together, like divine birds dancing in the fire.
That egg underwent an inexplicable change. The patterns interwove and spread rapidly. In a short time, the entire egg had mutated, with many more "patterns", beautiful and splendid, and divine light overflowing.
"The vitality of this egg is many times stronger than before. The life brand inherited from the ancient magic bird should have recovered a lot. If this egg hatches, it will definitely be much stronger than the green-scale eagle!" Village Chief Shi Yunfeng exclaimed in surprise.
This egg was a bit special. It might have inherited many imprint fragments of the ancient magic bird and undergone atavism. If so, its bloodline was extremely noble, far surpassing its parents.
The tender branch of the old willow tree caused such a scene with a gentle brush, which was astonishing! Did it discover the specialness of this egg, or did it possess a mysterious power that caused this egg to change?
The villagers were all astonished. Looking at the egg that emitted a brilliant light, their eyes all showed a fervent light. This was definitely a rare battle bird with endless potential.
Outside the village, the green-scale eagle, whose scales were shining all over its body, stood on that huge rock. Its eyes were wide open, and the beams shot out like flowing silk. It seemed that it also couldn't believe it.
It very much wanted to rush into Shicun to take a closer look, but when it saw the old willow tree, it instinctively feared and dared not approach. It chirped urgently outside.
That willow branch was emerald green and full of vitality. After a gentle brush, it slowly withdrew and no longer had any action.
Apparently, it wasn't very interested. It was just a casual brush.
The villagers were in awe. It was a long time before they calmed down.
"Village chief, should we keep this egg?" Shi Linhu asked. Now all the villagers were moved and their hearts were burning. Such a divine and precious egg. It would be too pity to miss it.
"Didn't you see that fierce bird outside the village? If we keep it, it will go crazy for sure." Shi Yunfeng frowned.
The old willow tree was very mysterious and powerful. It had been guarding the village and did not allow fierce beasts to come and destroy. Shicun was its territory. But it only defended. It never stepped out of the village half a step, let alone take the initiative to attack anything.
That green-scale eagle dared not come in, but only needed to block the way out of the village, which was enough to make the people of Shicun feel tormented. After all, they still needed to hunt in the mountains.
"Forget it. Return the eggs to that big eagle without feathers." An elder of the clan said.
The villagers were all disappointed, but there was no way. The green-scale eagle was very powerful. It was the top predator in this area. As long as the creatures in the deepest part of the mountains did not come out, it could be regarded as the overlord.
A group of people were cautious and careful. Protected and defended by the two ancestral artifacts, they sent the three bird eggs to the entrance of the village, placed them on the grass, and then quickly retreated.
At this time, the brilliant light of the mutated egg had subsided and was no longer so dazzling. But those newly added mysterious patterns did not disappear. Compared with the other two eggs, they were clearly of two different types and belonged to different bird species.
The green-scale eagle flapped its wings, turning into a violent wind, and instantly pounced over. With its wings spread, it protected the three eggs at once and then stared carefully at the particularly special egg with interwoven patterns and crystal clear and shiny.
A long chirp. This fierce bird seemed extremely excited. Its sound split the sky. The huge trees in the surrounding area shook and the fallen leaves flew wildly!
It was a long time before it raised its head. There was a strange look in its eyes. The fierce light had already been withdrawn. It stared at the old willow tree in the village but did not dare to step into the village half a step.
"Quickly take the eggs and leave!" Someone shouted loudly, as if sending away a plague god.
However, contrary to everyone's expectations, the green-scale eagle flapped its wings and then fiercely fanned. The strong wind whistled and pushed all three eggs into the village, rolling towards the big willow tree.
"What? It doesn't want them and gives them to us?" Everyone was a little stunned. What was going on? One strange thing after another.
"It saw that one egg mutated and was covered with runes. It will be much stronger than it in the future. It wants to leave it to our 'sacrificial spirit' for us to raise." Village Chief Shi Yunfeng said.
"Could it have such a thought?" A group of people were all surprised.
"Don't forget, this is a fierce bird that has condensed mysterious runes in its body and possesses the source bone that overflows with mysterious power. Its wisdom should not be lower than that of humans." The old village chief said.
The stronger the fierce birds and strange beasts were, the higher their wisdom was. It was said that some ancient remnants were much smarter than the human race. Looking down on the human tribes on the earth, they were like gods.
The village chief asked loudly if it really wanted to leave its offspring here. As a result, the green-scale eagle actually nodded. Then it indicated with its eyes, looking at the three eggs and then at the old willow tree.
"Whoosh!"
The strong wind blew. The green-scale eagle's wings spread out to be fifteen or sixteen meters. It soared into the sky and disappeared into the clouds. In the blink of an eye, it was gone.
Everyone was stunned. Just like that? On the ground were only three crystal clear eggs. No one expected things to end like this.
"Uncle Lin Hu, what should we do next?" Er Meng asked.
"What to do? You guys caused this trouble. You bunch of kids are responsible for hatching the eggs!" Shi Linhu glared.
"Ah, no, please! Help!" A group of children screamed.
The three eggs were placed beside the altar under the big willow tree. There were special people responsible for guarding and waiting for the young birds to break out of their shells. After all, these were powerful fierce bird eggs and very precious.
Ten days later, with a crisp cracking sound, a crack appeared on one egg. The jade-like shell cracked and a little fellow rolled out from inside. Its cyan scales were shining.
Then another egg cracked and another little fellow broke free. It looked around with its bright eyes.
The third egg was very special. When it cracked, it first emitted rays of auspicious light and then a chirping sound was heard. The hard egg suddenly shattered completely and turned into powder. There was divine light shining brightly.
A young bird appeared. Instead of cyan scales on its body, it had purple scales. The flowing light was like a flame burning. It was many times more divine than its two brothers.
It was a long time before the purple light subsided. This young bird with astonishing spirituality was covered with brilliant purple scales. Its big and watery eyes seemed to be able to talk. It looked at everyone curiously. Anyone could tell at a glance that this was a very extraordinary spirit bird.
"Born!" A group of children cheered, ran home, fetched pieces of meat, and were about to feed the three young birds.
Suddenly, a long chirp came. A huge fierce bird dived down from the clouds, quickly approaching Shicun, casting a large shadow.
"Hey, after disappearing for more than half a month, that green-scale eagle has returned. Could it be that it has regretted and wants to take back its offspring?" Some villagers exclaimed.
"No, that is?" People were surprised and showed astonished looks.
With a "boom", dust soared outside the village. The green-scale eagle loosened its huge claws and a huge creature fell to the ground, smashing a big pit. Soil and stones splashed and smoke and dust rose.
This was a huge dragon-horned elephant, six to seven meters long and five to six meters tall. The huge dragon horns on its head shone with precious light. It was extremely heavy and broke several towering ancient trees. At this time, it was already dead. There were several claw holes on its skull, which was larger than a millstone. Blood gushed out and it was killed with one strike!
"What is the green-scale eagle doing? Does it want us to feed the three young birds with this? It's really like a human with high wisdom!" The villagers exclaimed.
