Chapter 448: Saving Both, Big and Small
Chapter 448: Saving Both, Big and Small
Before long, Lu Chen and Lu Xuan arrived at the spot where the mother beast was about to give birth.
His gaze was instantly drawn to the wailing mother beast before him.
This mythical beast, known as the Thunderclash Bear, had golden fur that stood upright like needles, with invisible streaks of lightning coursing through it, appearing and disappearing intermittently.
Its eyes were two-toned, a striking combination of white and platinum. Within the golden irises, lightning seemed to crackle and strike, exuding a formidable aura.
It was evident that the beast was not in a good state. The cub writhing within its abdomen was wreaking havoc, inflicting endless agony upon the mother.
"Brother Lu."
The ordinary young man hurried forward upon seeing Lu Chen and his companion.
The first time they had met in the blessed land, he hadn't formed a good impression of Lu Chen, who had suddenly taken over the management of the land. He had even spoken to him with a hint of sarcasm.
But now, seeing Lu Chen, he felt an unprecedented sense of reassurance, as if he had found the pillar of support he needed.
"Alright."
"I'll examine this Thunderclash Bear first."
Lu Chen nodded and approached the mother beast.
A hazy spiritual light appeared in his eyes, and with his Eye Technique, he could vaguely sense that the cub within the mother's abdomen was abnormally active. The rich blood energy in the abdomen seemed to be drawn by the cub.
Invisible and transparent tendrils extended from the placenta, reaching into the mother beast's body, as if siphoning away her essence blood.
Lu Chen sent a soothing thought to the mother beast, and a faint greenish-blue spiritual energy emanated from his fingertips.
As the greenish-blue spiritual energy approached the mother beast's body, she sensed the rich vitality within it and, recognizing the aura emanating from the Demon Subduing Order at Lu Chen's waist, showed no signs of resistance.
The Greenwood Source Energy was a condensation of the Green Mystical Deer's life essence, imbued with abundant vitality and possessing strong healing capabilities. For the mother beast, currently in a worrisome state, it could only bring benefits and no harm.
After feeding a wisp of Greenwood Source Energy to the expectant mother beast, Lu Chen focused his mind on her body and instantly learned detailed information about her.
[Thunderclash Bear, a fourth-rate mythical beast, possesses innate immense strength and the ability to control lightning power when mature. It is among the strongest of its rank.]
[In a state of expectancy.]
[Due to the mother beast's frequent visits near the forbidden area of the Ten Thousand Demon Cave blessed land during her pregnancy, the mythical beast embryo within her was influenced by the unique spiritual energy near the forbidden area, gradually developing a bloodthirsty instinct. During gestation, it automatically siphoned the mother beast's essence blood, weakening her vitality while increasing its own size, thus heightening the difficulty of childbirth.]
[I will give birth to you, even if it means losing myself.]
"..."
Lu Chen remained silent.
He had mixed feelings within his heart.
The cub in the mother beast's womb had undergone a transformation due to the influence of its living environment, relentlessly absorbing the mother's essence during its development.
Yet, the mother beast remained steadfast in her determination to give birth to her child, even as her own life force was being drained away, even in the face of mortal danger.
"Rest assured, your child will be born safely, and you will come through this unscathed."
Lu Chen conveyed this thought to the mother beast.
"Roar..."
The mother beast let out a low roar, and a glimmer of hope flashed in her scattered gaze.
"Brother Lu, is there a solution?"
The ordinary young man beside them asked anxiously, seeing Lu Chen lost in thought.
"No problem."
A smile played at the corners of Lu Chen's mouth.
"Then... in the case of a caesarean, which one should be prioritized, the larger or the smaller?"
The young man stammered, as the only option left for the mother beast was a caesarean section, which carried significant risks and required a choice to be made beforehand.
"My option doesn't include that. I'll save both, big and small."
Lu Chen replied calmly.
He had quickly devised a solution.
First, the mother beast had been drained of a significant amount of her essence blood, leaving her body weak and frail. Both the act of performing the caesarean and severing the invisible tendrils connecting the fetus to the mother's body would cause considerable harm. Any slight mishap could even endanger her life.
Secondly, the most difficult part was cutting off the invisible tendrils that had sprouted from the young beast's placenta.
These tendrils had no tangible form, making them nearly invisible to the naked eye. Severing and separating them from the mother's body within a short period was an incredibly challenging task.
However, Lu Xuan had absolute confidence in his abilities.
His cultivation of the Eye Technique had reached an extremely profound level after consuming several evil eyes from the Hundred-Eyed Magic Wood. The invisible tendrils that Sun Yun and the other young man failed to detect were clearly visible to him.
Additionally, he could provide a vast amount of Greenwood Source Energy at any time. In case of an emergency, he could rescue either the mother or the young beast from the brink of death.
His mastery of the sword art, coupled with the small green sword he obtained from the Boundless Sea secret realm, ensured that both the mother and her child would survive the procedure.
With all these factors in his favor, Lu Xuan was fully confident in performing the caesarean section.
Without waiting for Sun Yun and the young man to recover from their shock at his declaration of saving both beasts, Lu Xuan drew out an ancient-looking sword sheath and gave it a slight shake. A small green sword, which had been nurtured within the sheath, slid out from the slit.
Ignoring the slight trembling of the sheath, Lu Xuan held the small green sword, his spiritual energy evenly distributed along the blade.
The origins of this small green sword were unknown, but its edge was exceptionally sharp. It easily sliced open the mother beast's abdomen.
An invisible sword energy, brimming with vibrant vitality, swiftly coursed through the mother beast's body, instantly severing all the invisible tendrils that were tightly connected to her body.
With his eyes fixed on the tendrils, Lu Xuan used his spiritual power to lift the young beast out the moment the tendrils were cut off.
"It's born! It's born!" the ordinary young man exclaimed in surprise. Sun Yun also let out a sigh of relief, his face relaxing as the tension drained away.
Lu Chen remained calm and collected. The light green energy sphere in his dantian rapidly spun, continuously channeling Greenwood Source Energy into the mother beast's abdomen, healing the areas where the tendrils had been cut off and the incision on her abdomen.
Under the powerful healing capabilities of the Greenwood Source Energy, the weak and agonized mother beast soon calmed down.
She struggled to prop up the upper half of her body, eager to see her child.
"Here, take a look at your big son," Lu Chen said as he held up the young beast in front of the mother.
The size of a bathtub, the young beast was wrapped in a layer of golden light, within which countless faint blood threads could be seen. It struggled to open its eyes, revealing a pair of ignorant and unknowing eyes that sensed its mother's aura, and its light golden irises exuded a sense of dependence.
It was oblivious to the fact that it had drained a substantial amount of its mother's essence blood during its development.
The Thunderclash Bear silently opened its mouth, its eyes filled with tenderness as it gazed upon its child.
It allowed the young beast to suckle, and soon, exhausted, it fell into a deep sleep.
"Brother Lu has kept his promise! Both the mother and the young beast are safe!" the ordinary young man exclaimed excitedly, sensing that the mother beast had merely fallen into a deep sleep and was not in any life-threatening danger, and that the young beast was also healthy.
"I never expected that you, Brother Lu, would be so skilled in delivering young beasts," Sun Yun said with a complicated expression. "Uncle Master Cangwu made the right choice in entrusting the blessed land to you."
