Chapter 127

Su Jing followed Little King Kong down the hillside and saw the second-tier blue deer she had helped before standing in front of a stone cave about half a person's height. Its light blue fur shimmered softly in the light.

The wound on its left foreleg had scabbed over, and its short antlers swayed slightly. When it saw Su Jing coming over, it took a step aside and let out a soft hum towards the cave, its voice full of friendliness, clearly inviting them to enter.

Little Jin was the first to dart to the entrance of the cave. Its short, golden fur clung to its body. It sniffed the entrance with its little nose, then turned back to Su Jing and squeaked excitedly. Its little paws scratched at the dry grass at the entrance, as if to say, "The egg is inside."

Su Jing had Robot No. 5 enter the cave first and activate "low-light mode"—to avoid strong light stimulating any eggs that might be inside. A pale white beam of light illuminated the interior of the cave: the cave wasn't large, the floor was covered with a thick layer of dry grass, and in the center of the grass lay a nest woven from shallow grass, inside which lay three oval eggs.

Each egg is about the size of a fist, with a pale bluish-green shell and fine, off-white spots on the surface. Sunlight shines through the cracks in the stone cave onto the eggs, giving them a warm glow, and you can faintly feel the slight warmth emanating from the shells—a characteristic of live eggs.

Be careful not to break it.

Su Jing squatted by the nest and gently placed the back of her hand on the surface of an egg—the temperature was about 37°C, close to human body temperature, and there was no cold sensation, indicating that the egg was very active.

She took out three pieces of specially made temperature-regulating cotton from the storage bag handed to her by Robot No. 5. The cotton sheets were 2 centimeters thick and could automatically maintain a temperature of 35-38℃ and a humidity of 50%, perfect for storing eggs. She carefully lifted the first egg from the grass nest, her movements so gentle it was as if she were afraid of disturbing the life inside.

The egg is gently wrapped in a temperature-controlled cotton pad, which automatically adheres to the eggshell without any gaps. The wrapped egg is then placed into the transparent incubation box carried by robot No. 5. The temperature detector inside the box immediately displays "36℃, 50% humidity, suitable environment".

The second egg had a few strands of dry grass stuck to its surface. Instead of brushing them off with her hands, Su Jing had Robot No. 5 hand her a miniature soft brush and gently swept away the grass to ensure the eggshell was free of scratches.

She noticed that the spots on this egg were denser than the first one, and upon closer inspection, she could faintly sense a heartbeat-like fluctuation. Simultaneously, a message popped up on her communicator: "[Detected life fluctuation of Green Deer Egg: Weak but stable, 98% activity, no risk of breakage]".

When she wrapped the egg in a temperature-controlled cotton cloth and placed it in the incubator, she deliberately placed it in the middle to avoid collisions with the edges.

The third egg was slightly smaller, but unusually heavy. Su Jing could feel the hardness of the shell when she held it in her hand—three times harder than a regular egg, which was obviously able to withstand slight impacts.

She carefully examined every part of the eggshell, from the blunt tip to the pointed end, and found no cracks or dents. She even gently tapped the eggshell with her fingertip, which produced a crisp "thump-thump" sound, the sound of a healthy egg.

When the third egg was placed into the incubator, Robot No. 5 automatically closed the lid. Three light blue energy light membranes popped out from inside the box, separating the three eggs to prevent them from colliding during transportation. The display screen showed: "[Green Deer Eggs (3 eggs), Status: Intact, Activity 98%-99%, Meeting Constant Temperature Storage Conditions]".

"Thank you for trusting me."

Su Jing spoke softly to the blue deer at the cave entrance. The blue deer seemed to understand, let out a soft hum, gently rubbed its forehead against her arm, then turned and went into the cave. It used its nose to tidy up the grass nest, clearly knowing that the eggs would be well taken care of.

Su Jing carried the incubation box and followed Xiao Jin out of the cave. Robot No. 5 simultaneously activated the "egg protection mode," automatically slowing down its movement to avoid bumps.

Reaching the bottom of the hillside, Su Jing stopped and immersed her consciousness into the space—she had specially created a new "monster egg breeding area" next to the "breeding area." The temperature in the area was set at 36℃ and the humidity at 50%. The ground was covered with a layer of soft spiritual soil, and tiny heating wires were buried under the spiritual soil to ensure a constant temperature.

With her mind, she gently placed the three green deer eggs in the incubation box onto the spiritual soil, removed the temperature-regulating cotton, and the surface of the eggs was immediately covered with a layer of light blue energy film. The system prompted: [Green deer eggs have been stored in the exclusive incubation area. Incubation countdown: 30 days (hatching success rate 85%). The hatching probability can be increased by using spiritual herb juice].

As Su Jing exited the space, Xiao Jin suddenly ran to her feet, grabbed her trouser leg with its little paws, and pulled her towards a vine-covered area on the west side of the hillside. Its dark eyes were full of urgency, and its nose was still sniffing the air, clearly having sensed something again.

Following Xiao Jin's tugging, Su Jing looked over and saw that the vines in the vine-covered area were thicker than those in other places. The dark green vines were adorned with pale purple flowers, but she could vaguely see tiny holes in some of the leaves, as if they had been bitten by insects. A thought struck her.

She patted Xiao Jin's head, signaling the robot to follow. "Come on, let's see what's going on." Xiao Jin immediately ran ahead happily, with Robot No. 5 following behind carrying the empty incubation box. Qinglu stood on the hillside, letting out a soft murmur in their direction, as if offering a blessing.

Su Jing's steps became much lighter—not only had she achieved her core objective of finding the monster egg, but she had also added new hope to the space breeding area. And the upcoming wisteria demon might bring even more surprises.
