Yuan Ming, upon seeing this scene, did not rush to take action. Instead, he clad himself in a gray cloak and moved slightly away from the wooden pillar to avoid being affected by the power of thunder and lightning.
Outside, the rain intensified, and before long, thick thunderbolts streaked across the overcast sky, illuminating it.
Purplish lightning flickers emerged from the wooden pillar as the thunder within the clouds was drawn towards it, striking it and conducting into the dungeon array.
The Winged Bird Egg greedily absorbed the pure power of thunder and lightning. With its shell already cracked, it completely shattered, and a wet, black chick hatched, falling onto the stone platform with a "patter."
The bird was only half a foot long, yet its wings were extraordinarily large, stretching a full foot when unfolded, with lightning patterns faintly visible on its skin.
Despite just hatching, the black chick flapped its wings twice and unexpectedly took flight.
