BXBX NOVEL Chapter 449: 447 All Sizes I Protect_1
His attention was immediately drawn to the continuously wailing mother beast.
The spiritual beast in front of him, known as the Thunderstorm Bear, had needles-like golden fur all over its body, with faint flashes of thunder darting through it, appearing and disappearing.
Its eyes were a two-tone of white and gold, as if there were lightning striking down from the golden pupils, full of formidable intensity.
It was evident that its current state was not very good, the cub inside its abdomen was continuously wreaking havoc, causing the mother beast boundless pain.
“Brother Lu.”
The ordinary young man saw Lu Xuan and his group and hurriedly came forward to greet them.
When they first met in the Blessed Land, he didn’t have a good impression of Lu Xuan, who suddenly took charge of the Blessed Land halfway. He even had a quarrel about it with him back then.
Now, seeing Lu Xuan, he felt an unprecedented sense of reassurance, as if he had seen the backbone of a leader.
“Fine.”
“I’ll first check the status of this Thunderstorm Bear.”
Lu Xuan nodded and went directly in front of the mother beast.
A layer of spiritual light appeared in his eyes. Under his Breaking Illusion Eye Technique, he could vaguely sense that the cub ready to be born from the mother beast’s abdomen was abnormally active, the rich smell of blood in her abdomen was actually being drawn in by the cub.
Transparent invisible tendrils, that seemed to be under the placenta, spread into the mother beast’s body, appearing to seize its essence blood.
He sent a calming thought to the mother beast, and a thread of light blue spiritual energy emerged from his fingertips.
As the light-blue spiritual energy approached the mother beast’s body, it perceived the rich vitality contained in the spiritual energy, along with the aura emanating from the Beast Owning Order on Lu Xuan’s waist. Because of this, it did not display any resistance.
Qingmu Origin Energy is condensed from the life essence of the Green Xuan Deer, it is rich in vitality and has extremely strong healing power. It is beneficial for the current worrisome state of the mother beast.
After feeding a thread of Qingmu Origin Energy to the pregnant mother beast, Lu Xuan’s mind concentrated on the mother beast’s body sound for an instant, and he got detailed information about it.
[The Thunderstorm Bear, a Fourth Grade Spirit Beast, naturally possesses great strength. After growing up, it can control Thunder Power, and is one of the top creatures of the same level among Demon Beasts.]
[Pregnant stage.]
[Because the pregnant mother beast frequently went to the area near the Forbidden Land of the Ten Thousand Beast Cave Blessed Land, the fetus of the spirit beast was affected by the special spiritual power near the forbidden land and gradually developed a bloodthirsty instinct. During gestation, it automatically seized the mother beast’s essence blood, which led to the weakening of the mother beast’s vitality, the young beast’s size increased, which increased the difficulty of childbirth.]
[I want to give birth to you, even if it costs me my life.]
“…”
Lu Xuan remained silent.
He felt profoundly moved.
The young beast growing inside this mother beast had been abnormal due to environmental influences. During development, it kept seizing the essence of the mother beast.
However, the mother beast still firmly intended to give birth to her offspring, even if she was constantly being consumed, and even if her life was in danger.
“Don’t worry, your child will definitely be born safely, and you will be safe and sound.”
Lu Xuan conveyed a thought to the mother beast.
“Roar…”
The mother beast let out a low growl, a glimmer of hope showing in her widely opened eyes.
“Brother Lu, do you know a way to solve this?”
The ordinary young man standing next to him saw Lu Xuan lost in thought and asked anxiously.
“There are no problems.”
Lu Xuan’s lips turned upwards in a smile.
“So…in a cesarean section, should we prioritize the mother or the baby?”
The young man faltered, knowing that the only option left for the mother beast now was indeed a cesarean section. But that came with significant risks, decision needed to be made in advance.
“That’s not an option for me. I’ll save them both,” Lu Xuan said indifferently.
He quickly found a solution.
Because the cub was too large for a normal delivery and the invisible tentacles sucking the essence blood from the mother needed to be dealt with, the only feasible solution left was cesarean section.
He faced two difficulties.
First, the mother beast was weakened from the extraction of a large amount of essence blood. Whether it was cesarean section or cutting off the invisible tentacles connected to the mother, both could cause significant harm to the mother beast. If the operation was not carefully executed, it could even threaten the mother’s life.
Also, the most challenging part was cutting off the invisible tentacles derived from the cub’s placenta.
The tentacles had no physical form and were invisible to the naked eye. The challenge of severing them from the mother within a short period of time was conceivable.
However, Lu Xuan had immense confidence.
His practiced Breaking Illusion Eye Technique, after swallowing a few Evil Eye Pupils from the Hundred Pupils’ Bizarre Tree, had reached a profoundly mastered level. The invisible tentacles that Sun Yun and others could not detect were clearly visible before him.
In addition, he could provide a large amount of Qingmu Origin Energy at any time. In case of an emergency, it could pull either the mother beast or the cub back from the edge of death.
With his profound understanding of the Sword Dao and the emerald green small sword obtained from the Boundless Sea Secret Realm, he could perform the cesarean section and still preserve the lives of both mother and cub.
Given all these factors, he had absolute confidence in performing the cesarean section.
Without bothering with Sun Yun who was still in shock over his statement, Lu Xuan took out the ancient sword sheath and shook it slightly, and the emerald green small sword that had been kept warm inside the sheath slid out from a crack in the sheath.
Ignoring the slightly trembling ancient sword sheath, he held the emerald green small sword, and spiritual energy was evenly distributed on the blade.
The origin of the emerald green small sword was unknown, but it was incredibly sharp—easily slicing open the mother beast’s abdomen.
An invisible sword Qi imbued with rich vitality travelled swiftly in the mother beast’s abdomen and instantly severed all invisible tentacles tightly connected to the mother beast’s body.
Lu Xuan’s eyes were fixed as he swiftly moved the cub out the moment the tentacles were all severed, with spiritual power supporting the cub.
“It’s born, it’s born!”
The average-looking young man cried out in surprise. At the same time, Sun Yun could not help but let out a deep breath, his face showing a sense of relief.
With a calm demeanor, Lu Xuan had the light cluster of pale green color rapidly rotating in his dantian. A constant stream of Qingmu Origin Energy was flowing into the mother beast’s abdomen, healing the places where the invisible tentacles were cut and the wound in the abdomen.
Under the powerful healing power of the Qingmu Origin Energy, the weak and agonized mother beast soon calmed down.
Struggling to lift its upper body, it wanted to see its baby.
“Here, look at your big boy,” Lu Xuan said, placing the cub in front of the mother beast.
The cub, about the size of a bathtub, was wrapped in a layer of golden light. Within the golden light were countless faint blood threads. The cub tried to open its naive and unknowing eyes, sensed its mother’s presence and its faint golden pupils revealed a sense of dependence.
It had no idea how much of its mother’s essence blood it had consumed during its growth period.
Seeing her child, the Thunderstorm Bear’s mouth silently opened and her majestic pupils were filled with tenderness.
She let her cub feed, then fell into a deep sleep, exhausted from the strain.
“Brother Lu really kept his word, both mother and cub were saved!”
The average-looking young man said excitedly, sensing that the mother beast was only asleep with no life-threatening condition, and that the cub was also healthy.
“Junior Brother Lu, who would have thought that you would be so skilled in delivering cubs. Elder Uncle Cang Wu didn’t choose the wrong person when he entrusted the Blessed Land to you,” Sun Yun, the handsome young man, said admiringly, with a complex look in his eyes.
