Chapter 159 Hi, Daddy
Chapter 159 Hi, Daddy
No matter how unwilling Jiang Liujing was to face it at the moment, what was supposed to happen still happened cruelly.
Looking at the crack that suddenly appeared at the top third of the white eggshell, Jiang Liujing felt that the light egg in his palm suddenly became extremely heavy.
At this moment, he didn't dare to look at the expression of Thunder Eagle in front of him.
In other words, he really didn't think of it this way.
But the sky is about to rain and the mother is about to get married, and the egg has to hatch at this time. What can he do?
He looked at the female teacher helplessly, handed the egg in his palm forward, and asked in a low voice: "Teacher, what should we do now?"
Female teacher: "..."
Yeah, what to do now?
It's already broken, can it be put back together?
She was silent for a second before she suggested, "Put it over here."
Bird-like mythical beasts generally have the habit of recognizing the first person they see as their parents. This is probably why the thunder eagle is in a hurry to find its egg. It must have felt that the cub in the egg is about to be born.
Letting the newborn bird see the thunder eagle for the first time after hatching should help calm its anger.
She thought for a moment, then turned around and reassured Lei Ying, "Don't worry, these students are all water-type. They won't want to contract with your thunder-type phantom beast cubs."
The anger on the Thunderhawk's face quickly disappeared after seeing the egg hatch, and his expression even froze strangely.
After hearing what the female teacher said, it shook its head very slowly.
Then he remained silent, staring at the egg.
Female teacher: “?”
What does this mean?
One of the fantasy beasts she contracted had the ability to communicate, so she could understand the languages of many fantasy beasts, but she still couldn't understand the Thunder Eagle's behavior at this moment.
Jiang Liujing glanced at the female teacher and then at Lei Ying, and carefully handed over the broken egg while the protective shield was still in place.
But the Thunder Eagle, who had been eager to grab the eggs just now, suddenly took several steps back as if seeing a ghost and avoided his hand.
"Cry!" The Thunder Eagle let out a long cry towards him.
Jiang Liujing looked confused.
The female teacher acted as a translator with a complicated expression: "It tells you to keep holding it."
Lei Ying nodded, indicating that her translation was correct.
Jiang Liujing didn't understand why its attitude suddenly changed, but now he had no choice but to continue holding the egg in his palm.
The tense atmosphere in the air seemed to subtly calm down, and the four team members all came closer curiously. They had never witnessed the birth of a new mythical beast so closely before.
"What will the little Thunder Eagle look like?" Xiao Lu asked, holding her face.
"About the same size as the Thunder Eagle, but a little smaller?"
"How can this be called small? This should be called a minibar. How big is this egg?"
Qiao stretched out his palm to compare. He was bigger, and his palm was much bigger than Jiang Liujing's. The egg that seemed to take up most of Jiang Liujing's palm only took up a small space in his.
Jiang Liujing listened to their conversation and thought to himself that the one that popped out of here might not be a Thunder Eagle cub.
At least when he held the egg at such a close distance, he didn't feel any trace of strong lightning magic fluctuations nearby.
After the first crack was broken, the egg suddenly became silent as if it had died. The few people waited for a long time but did not observe any reaction from it.
Jiang Liujing's hands felt a little sore from holding them up, and just as he moved, he heard the Thunder Eagle in front of him cry again.
The female teacher promptly relayed: "It allows you to inject a little magic into the egg."
Why does this sound like asking him to add some salt to the stir-fried dishes?
Jiang Liujing's fingers trembled, with a mess of thoughts swirling in his mind, but he still did as he was told.
As his magic power poured in, the originally faint light on the eggshell suddenly became stronger, as if responding to Jiang Liujing's gaze.
Immediately afterwards, many cracks appeared around the original one and quickly spread outward.
"Is it about to hatch?!" Everyone exclaimed and stared at the egg nervously.
There was a crisp cracking sound, and the white eggshell in the center suddenly sank a bit, and a small gray bird poked its head out from the crack.
It blinked its wet eyes and looked around without panic. After seeing Jiang Liujing's face, it immediately let out a joyful and tender cry.
Jiang Liujing couldn't understand bird language, but he could sense the joy in its calls. The newly hatched creature clearly loved his scent, ignoring the Thunder Eagle beside him—whom he wasn't sure if he was his biological father, but who could certainly be considered his adoptive father—and simply stared at him and called out.
"Chirp, chirp, chirp."
Hi, Daddy!
"Nerd, do you think this bird is a little ugly?" Joe hissed and poked Rowan on the back.
"They have so little hair and are so gray, just like those chicks the principal raises in the back hill."
The gray bird, which was originally singing loudly, suddenly stopped singing.
It turned its head inch by inch, almost rotating its entire head 180 degrees, staring at the two rude humans with cold eyes.
"It seems to understand what you said." Rowan said softly, and took a step away from Joe calmly.
Joe didn't notice at all, still looking at the gray bird and muttering, "Impossible, it's just a cub..." How could a newborn cub understand human language? His new contract partner had lived for many years and still couldn't understand.
The next second, the space around Joe suddenly distorted.
He seemed to be grabbed by an invisible giant hand and suddenly lifted upside down into the air.
"What the hell?" Joe was completely unable to react, and was completely unable to resist. The force that clamped his body was so strong that it was like lifting a dried sausage.
He quickly looked to the side, only to find that he seemed to be the only one who suffered among the people present.
"???"
His good teammates acted very happy about his misfortune. Two girls leaned against each other with smiles on their faces, stuck out their tongues and said to him, "Serves you right!"
No matter how many times he has experienced today, he still can't change his habit of getting close to the phantom beast and provoking it.
Luo Wen said silently beside him: "I reminded you, it understands."
It’s not that I don’t believe it.
"You did it?"
Of course Jiang Liujing couldn't fail to notice such a big commotion nearby.
He gently poked the eggshell containing a little bird in his palm. The moment his fingertips approached, he was enveloped by a soft and warm touch. The little bird came close to him on its own initiative.
"Chirp." The little gray bird raised its ugly head and called loudly at him.
Jiang Liujing speculated based on its demeanor: "You said so?"
The little gray bird nodded vigorously.
It nodded and glanced at the human in the air with disdain. If this person didn't seem to know Daddy, it would definitely make him pay for his rudeness.
