"My lord, there is nothing I can do about this. I have tried to force-feed them scraps of meat to supplement their nutrition, but for some reason, they are getting thinner and thinner."
Syndra's consciousness waves were transmitted over.
Wu You pursed his lips.
"You actually came up with the idea of feeding herbivores meat."
"Boom!"
The frost dragon landed directly on the side, causing the ground nearby to tremble slightly. Several female beasts howled even more loudly when they saw Syndra coming.
Wu You listened to the voice, which was filled with desolation.
"My lord, can you save them? By the way, would the Rejuvenating Ointment work?"
"Damn, don't you even consider how small the bottle of the Rejuvenating Ointment is? To apply it to a beast of this size, you'd need at least a ton of it. Where would we get so much stock?"
However, despite his words, Wu You was still very interested in the embryos inside these female beasts' bellies, and of course he wouldn't let them die so easily.
The simplest treatment is to prevent these female beasts from being captured in the material storage. In their current state, they should be unable to resist.
While this method can slowly restore the mother beast's body, it's uncertain whether it will affect the embryo, and unless alchemy is performed directly, the process is slow.
After a moment's thought, Wu You placed his hand on the belly of the thinnest female beast among them.
With eyes closed, you can feel the mother beast's original heartbeat. In the distance, there is an even stronger heart beating; that must be the embryo.
As the Supreme Will becomes increasingly pure, Wu You's control over alchemical energy is no longer limited to the system's options.
Use your will to guide the alchemical energy stored in the system space to your palm.
Tiny golden specks of light appeared on Wu You's palm. Next, he needed to carefully guide the alchemical energy into the embryo to see if it could absorb it.
Since alchemical energy can modify the basic structure of living organisms, it is definitely not a gentle energy. Therefore, Wu You has always carefully controlled it to prevent it from directly decomposing the mother beast.
As the golden stream of alchemical energy flowed along the mother beast's blood vessels and touched the embryo, Wu You noticed that the total amount of energy flowing was slowly decreasing.
Although not as fast as a pure alchemical creature, it at least proves that the embryo can indeed absorb alchemical energy.
Furthermore, with the gradual influx of alchemical energy, the embryo's growth rate suddenly accelerated considerably.
In that case, Wu You increased the input of alchemical energy.
"Woo-woo~~~~~~~Woo-woo~~~"
The one that had been relatively quiet due to being the weakest suddenly let out an extremely tragic wail, as the tearing pain in its abdomen caused its whole body to convulse.
Upon seeing this reaction, Wu You immediately stopped inputting alchemical energy.
"Aww~~~~~~~~"
After a high-pitched, desperate scream, the female beast collapsed completely to the ground, her limbs twitching only occasionally, and the frequency of twitching decreased, with blood oozing from her lower body organs and mouth.
Whether it was Wu You, Syndra, or the other five female beasts, they all fell into an eerie silence.
"Uh... Syndra, I think I accidentally killed one of your wives..."
Wu You was unusually embarrassed and told Syndra the obvious fact that anyone with eyes could see.
Syndra flicked her tail at the female beast, but it didn't move.
"My lord, is the child inside it still alive?"
Wu You took a look.
"It's not dead yet, but without the nutrients from its mother, it won't last much longer. Wait, let me try to see if I can revive it."
After saying that, Wu You waved his hand, and the abdomen of the dead mother beast was cut open as if by an invisible blade. The flesh was torn in two, revealing the blood-red organs inside the body that resembled a uterus.
A large amount of blood splattered out, but was blocked by an invisible shield before reaching Wu You, and slid to both sides.
Several blood vessels around this organ were severed at the same time, and Wu You controlled them to float in front of him.
Extending his right hand again, this time there were more golden specks floating up than before.
Then slowly attach it to the "uterine wall" that moves from time to time.
As alchemical energy was slowly introduced into the embryo, Wu You increased the rate of input once he felt the embryo could adapt.
After inputting about 10 units of alchemical energy, Wu You decisively stopped because he found that the embryo was also becoming unstable, and inputting any more would probably cause it to "explode".
The embryo floated in the air and continued to grow. Through the transparent amniotic membrane, one could see some unfinished organs and flesh growing rapidly. The still-warm blood of the mother beast on the ground seemed to be attracted by an invisible force, and was drawn up and seeped into the amniotic membrane.
"It seems promising, my lord. Do you think it will look like me or its mother?"
Syndra's consciousness waves even carried a hint of unease.
Wu You looked at the mother beast's corpse, which he had cut a large hole in, then at the wriggling and growing embryonic cub, and finally at the frost dragon with an expectant look on its face.
"Don't you think it's inappropriate to talk about this next to its mother's corpse?"
"It wasn't me who killed him..."
Syndra instinctively replied, but then immediately realized something and added a sentence.
"However, what the Lord taught me was that what I did was disrespectful to the mother beast!"
Am I petty in your eyes?
Wu You chuckled and dispersed the electric light in his hand.
Before Wu You and Syndra had to wait long, the cub, having received alchemical energy and replenishment from the mother's remaining organic matter, seemed to have been given a growth catalyst. Within minutes, it had grown complete limbs and skin, and its amniotic sac had been punctured by the growing beast.
"Hoo~ Hoo~"
A few roars of young beasts rang out, and a small white monster with six legs, soft wings, a thick body, a dragon's head, but no horns appeared before them, kicking its legs haphazardly because it was suspended in the air.
"It looks more like you."
Wu You tried it and found that he did not have absolute control over the cub; at least, it was impossible to order it to die.
"Alright, since it works, let's try the rest. Don't worry, I've got experience this time, and I'll do my best to ensure the safety of both mother and baby."
Upon hearing this, the other female beasts, who had been in a daze the whole time, began to howl wildly again, even though they shouldn't have understood. They trembled with fear and dug several deep marks on the ground with their six limbs.
Wu You stared at them expressionlessly.
"Shut up!"
Suddenly, even the chirping of insects disappeared, leaving only the sound of wind blowing and leaves falling.
Wu You then smiled again.
"Don't worry, you're stronger than the last one, you'll be fine, otherwise you'd die sooner or later anyway. Hmm, then let's start with you."
From the closest six-legged behemoth to the last one, the remaining three pregnant females all safely gave birth to their cubs.
However, the cubs were significantly larger than the previous ones they had given birth to, resulting in a lot of bleeding. But this injury was much less painful than the pain the cubs had suffered in the womb.
