Chapter 216 An Egg Falls from the Sky

Duzi was the first to notice Liuli's abnormality. He quickly leaned over the bed, poked his head in, and said softly:

"Liuli, don't be afraid, we are here."

Rongqiu and Juanjuan also hurried over.

But the glass under the bed was like a frightened bird, shrinking deeper into the darkness.

Duzi was so anxious that he scratched his head and ran to the cupboard, took out a soft blanket, and hurried back. He and Rongqiu lay on the edge of the bed together, pushing the blanket towards Liuli little by little, muttering:

"Liuli, come out. Wrap yourself in a blanket and you won't be cold. It's very safe here."

After an unknown amount of time, Liuli's trembling body gradually calmed down, and she looked at them timidly with tearful eyes. Duzi seized the opportunity and reached out his hand:

"Come, Liuli, give me a hug."

Liuli hesitated for a long time, and finally stretched out her little paw and placed it on Duzi's palm.

Rongqiu pulled Liuli into his arms, hugged her tightly, and muttered:

"Don't be afraid, go to sleep."

Juanjuan sat gently on the edge of the bed, closed her eyes slightly, cleared her throat, and then an ancient lullaby slowly flowed out.

"Awoo~Awoo~Little beast, go to sleep quickly."

"The moon goddess sheds soft light around you, the stars pave the way, and the river of dreams flows."

"The warmth of the tribe will always be with you. Don't be afraid of the thunder in the dark night."

"The beast spirit whispers to accompany you to sleep, and tomorrow, the warm sun will still urge you on."

Liuli nestled in the warm embrace of the ball, listening to Juanjuan's gentle humming. Her eyelids grew heavier and heavier, and she slowly fell asleep, tears still lingering in the corners of her eyes. Duzi gently pulled a corner of the blanket over her, covering her with it. The three young men exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with tenderness, and stayed by her side until late at night...

Here, Xia Yueke and Qi'an returned home together.

Qian Jingyao had already completed the renovation of the two stone houses in his home. Now, there were five rooms in the yard.

The largest one is where they usually rest and sleep. It is warm and spacious.

There is also a kitchen where all kinds of cooking utensils are neatly arranged, one is Luo Cihe's exclusive witch room, and there are two brand new storage stone houses, which are perfect for storing various items.

The weeds in the yard were also removed, leaving only the flowers that Qingyan tended to.

Xia Yueke saw that the whole yard looked brand new. "Wow, Yaoyao, you're amazing! You did a lot today! Are you tired?"

Xia Yueke immediately and attentively served tea to Qian Jingyao.

Qian Jingyao took the teacup and took a sip, his eyes full of confusion, "Where did you go today? I went out to buy some ingredients and you all disappeared."

Qian Jingyao's voice sounded a little aggrieved, and he suspected that these people were doing something shady behind his back.

Xia Yueke quickly comforted her, "Yaoyao, Duzi and the others rescued a little female wolf cub. We just went to see it! We came back quickly because we were afraid you might be waiting anxiously."

Qian Jingyao nodded, asked a few more questions, and then invited them to eat.

On a summer afternoon, the hot and sticky air makes people feel even more lazy after dinner.

Xia Yueke had just put down his bowl and chopsticks, and when he looked up, he saw that the sky, which had been faintly bright just a moment ago, was suddenly covered with dark clouds that rolled and gathered like ink, swallowing up the remaining light.

In a flash, heavy rain poured down like a waterfall, and the bean-sized raindrops hit the ground with a crackling sound, splashing layers of water.

Xia Yueke sat by the window, her eyes piercing the rain as she looked in the direction Duzi and the others had left. Her heart felt like it was being tugged by a thin thread, and she was slightly worried:

Liuli is so fragile and cute, I wonder if Duzi and the others can take good care of the little guy.

Just as her eyes were dazed and her thoughts were drifting away, in the sky not far away, an oval object, wrapped in a strong wind, streaked across like a meteor, drawing a graceful silver curve on the lead-gray sky, and then whizzed straight towards the newly built stone house in her yard.

With a loud "thump", a big hole suddenly appeared in the roof of the stone house in front of her shocked eyes, and the unidentified object fell in with the broken debris.

"Oh my god, the roof is broken and it's going to leak!"

Xia Yueke stood up suddenly, and her movements were so quick that they startled the people sitting behind her who were either chatting or busy working.

Luo Cihe was originally half-leaning on a wooden chair, playing with a small bone knife in his hand. He raised his eyes lazily at the sound and looked at Xia Yueke, his voice a little hoarse from just waking up:

"Keke, what's wrong? Why are you so anxious?"

Xia Yueke didn't bother to explain, he opened the door and plunged into the rain, shouting as he ran:

"A big meteorite has fallen and cracked our roof. Go check it out! Be careful! Our food will get wet and moldy, and we won't have anything to eat!"

Everyone in the house was shocked to see Xia Yueke completely ignoring the heavy rain.

Qian Jingyao was quick-witted and threw down the wicker basket he was weaving, picked up a large animal-skin cloak, and chased after him, shouting:

"Keke, wait a minute, be careful not to catch a cold!" The others also stood up and filed out.

The distance from the big stone house to the storage stone house was only about ten steps. Xia Yueke ran as fast as the wind and arrived there in less than two minutes.

The dense raindrops still soaked most of her clothes, and a few strands of hair stuck to her cheeks, but she didn't care about that at the moment.

Anxiously, she raised her hand to push the door. With a creak, the door opened and the scene inside the house came into view: a hole large enough for two people suddenly appeared on the originally intact stone roof. Rainwater poured in with the coldness, forming small puddles in the house.

There was a mess below, with rubble scattered all over the ground, all the remains of the original roof.

And in the ruins, an oval egg lay quietly.

The surface of the egg is light yellow, and the fine patterns are faintly visible in the dim light.

"Huh? It's not a meteorite! What kind of egg is this? The shell is so hard!"

Xia Yueke was full of curiosity. She slowly approached, bent down slightly, stretched out her fingers and flicked them lightly.

The egg seemed to be in a deep sleep, motionless and without any movement.

At this moment, the rain outside the house was pouring down with no sign of stopping. No one had ever imagined that the person, or rather the beast, hidden in the egg in the ruins was Long Xiaoyu.

Long Xiaoyu once had great ambitions and attempted to break through the twelfth level and become the supreme top orc on this continent.

To this end, he took the risk and absorbed more than a dozen precious beast cores in succession.

At that critical moment that determined his fate, the power that had been steadily rising suddenly raged within his body like a wild horse, and his level dropped sharply.

Long Xiaoyu's face turned pale as paper in an instant, beads of cold sweat kept rolling down his forehead, and his heart was filled with fear and despair.

That was the beast power he had accumulated after a hundred years of hard training. Was it going to vanish in an instant?
