Crack!
Half of the female Owl’s head was directly bitten off by Wu Yuan, and red and white splattered everywhere!
Wu Yuan felt the Owl beneath him, which had stopped moving, and straightened up, panting heavily a few times before crawling towards the bird eggs.
He looked back at the corpse in the nest: “You blocked my path!”
A Rat is also a wild beast!
Wu Yuan ran directly towards the largest bird egg in the nest, which was three times the size of the surrounding eggs and very conspicuous.
The giant bird egg was entirely translucent white, about the size of two goose eggs, clearly distinct from the surrounding pale green, chicken-egg-sized normal bird eggs.
No wonder Wu Yuan felt the female Owl’s power was so small during the fight; it turned out her body was injured after giving birth.
“Thinking about it, the male Owl must have paid a different price to give birth to this bird egg!”
Snapping back to reality, Wu Yuan looked at the bird egg: “I’m really too lucky.”
He didn’t know if he was talking about the egg’s uniqueness or the female Owl’s weakness.
Wu Yuan bit into the shell of the giant bird egg.
He controlled his strength, fearing he might crush the egg with one bite, so he didn’t use his full power.
Thump!
Unexpectedly, the eggshell was extremely hard, like rock, and made a dull sound when bitten.
Wu Yuan was not angry but happy!
The harder the bird egg, the more extraordinary it was, and the more benefits there would be after eating it!
He then infused his teeth with Demon Power, making them exceptionally sharp; with just a gentle bite on the bird egg, he opened a large hole.
“It smells so good, and it carries a power different from the moonlight!”
Wu Yuan looked at the translucent white egg liquid, smelled the intoxicating fragrance, and without hesitation, swallowed it in large gulps.
In a few breaths, he had devoured the entire bird egg, and Wu Yuan was very satisfied.
Wu Yuan listened to the increasingly fierce battle sounds outside, the wolf’s whimpering gradually decreasing, knowing the battle was about to end.
He had no intention of staying in the bird’s nest for long and wanted to leave immediately.
But as he turned back, he suddenly saw a cyan feather under the giant bird eggshell, only half the size of an Owl’s feather.
Wu Yuan’s heart stirred: “This feather might have some strange qualities, so I’ll take it.”
He bit the feather, scanned the bird’s nest, found no other abnormalities, and crawled out of the tree hole.
As soon as Wu Yuan crawled out of the tree hole, he found the dying wild wolf below, looking miserable.
The wild wolf was covered in blood, one eye was gone, leaving only a bloody hole, and its tail was broken.
It was about to be pecked to death by the Owl, and this was less than three minutes since the battle began.
Even on the verge of death, the wild wolf’s eyes were still fierce, staring intently at the Owl.
The Owl, however, was in much better condition, only having lost many feathers and its wings being somewhat twisted.
At this moment, the Owl was in a very bad mood; ever since eating a fruit a few days ago, it felt itself becoming increasingly intelligent and powerful, and few beasts dared to challenge it.
At the same time, it thought of its mate and child, and its mood brightened again.
Its child would surely be stronger than it in the future!
It hadn’t hunted yet today, and this wolf would feed its mate for a long time. Just as it was about to kill the wild wolf, it suddenly saw a Rat crawl out of the tree hole.
The Owl looked at the familiar Rat and immediately felt a bad premonition, flapping its wings to fly up and check the tree hole.
It had already sensed something was wrong; after all, this wild wolf had appeared too abruptly, completely defying logic.
Perhaps it was too anxious or its wings were injured, but it took several attempts for the Owl to finally fly up.
However, these few wing flaps fanned away most of the little life the wild wolf beneath it had left.
The Owl’s wings shimmered with gray light, and in a single breath, it flew into the tree hole.
When it saw its dead mate on the ground and the shattered bird egg in the nest, its vision went black.
Hoo!
Wu Yuan moved through the underground tunnel, hearing the mournful cries from above without any pause, continuously fleeing into the distance.
He suddenly stopped, listening to the sound of wings flapping above the ground; the Owl was circling overhead, quietly waiting.
“The Owl’s hearing is very good. It should have sensed me nearby just now, but it probably didn’t pinpoint my exact location.”
After a while, Wu Yuan listened to the sound of the Owl flying away above and did not continue to flee. Instead, he decided to stay put, as he had already prepared an underground tunnel here.
“I’m already far from the bird’s nest; I can’t run anymore. I’ll just wait here for a few days!”
Soon, Wu Yuan burrowed into a winding underground tunnel, estimated to be over twenty meters deep, where a large amount of food was stored.
Suddenly, he heard the sound of bird claws digging at the earth above: “The Owl is also very cunning. As expected, it didn’t leave the vicinity; it’s certain I’m here.”
But no matter how hard the Owl tried above, it only dug into some Rat tunnels and couldn’t find Wu Yuan, so it could only scratch the ground wildly in frustration.
It continuously let out sharp hooting sounds.
Wu Yuan comfortably lay in the underground tunnel, sensing the Owl’s impotent rage above.
He felt waves of warmth coming from his abdomen, nourishing his entire body, making him feel very comfortable.
He thought: “This is the feeling of strengthening one’s Foundation that was mentioned in the intelligence. I wonder how it helps with Bloodline Awakening.”
As he was pondering, he suddenly felt an itch. At first, it was very slight, and he didn’t pay attention to it.
But as time passed, the itch began to bore out from his bone marrow, spreading throughout his entire body.
Wu Yuan’s four claws were now tightly gripping the ground, his heart pounding like a drum, and he was panting heavily.
“This must be the Bloodline Awakening, but it never said it would be this uncomfortable. I absolutely cannot make a sound and attract the Owl!”
So Wu Yuan could only endure the itching, wishing he could burrow into the ground and rub himself to relieve it.
During this half-hour, Wu Yuan felt every second drag on like a year. Finally, the itching began to subside.
Wu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief: “It’s finally over, but besides getting bigger, I haven’t felt any other changes?”
Just as he was wondering, a sudden intense pain, like a tidal wave, swept over him, giving him no time to react, and the itching that had receded began to resurface.
Wu Yuan’s eyes bulged, his limbs twisted as if broken, his entire skeletal structure shattered, and his body curled into a ball.
This time, he didn’t even have a chance to react; he could only rely on his willpower to stay conscious and not completely pass out.
He also didn’t need to worry about making a sound, as his throat bone had already shattered just now.
Thus, Wu Yuan was tormented by both pain and itching, drifting in and out of consciousness.
