Chapter 2670 Childbirth

Fortunately, Ishtar was not crazy enough to slap himself. He finally remembered what he had said, nodded repeatedly, and agreed with Joan's explanation.

"Yes, yes, we can't see the whole picture of high-dimensional creatures! This is normal! Mitra, can you drive them away?"

"Here... let me give it a try!"

Joan turned to face the corner of the wall, shook his eye stems and gestured to cast a spell, waved a silver light curtain, and at the same time quietly dispelled the "powerful phantom", and those blurred images disappeared.

"My lord, I have just performed the 7th-level 'Exile Technique' and successfully expelled the projections of those high-dimensional creatures back to their original world, just like expelling the incarnation of demons back to the bottomless abyss."

"Wonderful, Mitra... you are very capable! I want to reward you!"

Ishtar was really fooled by Joan, and took off a magic lens from the eye stem with great difficulty, and rewarded her.

After Joan thanked him, he accepted the lens spell-casting appraisal, and was pleasantly surprised to find that it was a "penetrating lens" that he hadn't mastered the manufacturing method yet.

The ten kinds of supernatural rays of the beholder are all single-target attacks, so they are easily blocked by cluster magic like "flying insects and beasts", and sacrificing a small flying insect can offset the powerful rays.

The "penetrating lens" is a magic device specially created to overcome this disadvantage. Wear it on the eye stem, and the rays emitted can penetrate all targets on the path, causing equal damage or negative effects.

This lens is very good, but for Joan, what is more valuable is the super magic skill "Ray Penetration" attached to the lens!

As the name suggests, this super magic skill can only be used with "ray" spells, such as "weakening ray", "burning ray" or "dissociation". Similar to a "lightning beam", it can penetrate a series of targets within range.

Qiao An put the "penetrating lens" into the storage bag, feeling very relieved, thinking that the work was finally not in vain.

The exorcism scene she had just directed and acted had worked well, successfully relaxing Ishtar's nerves and calming down.

Joan and Saoirse stayed in the bedroom, serving Ishtar until late at night the next day, and finally made it to the moment of delivery.

At this critical moment, Ishtar had to endure indescribably intense pain. The main eye and ten stalked eyes all protruded from the eye sockets, filled with bloodshot eyes, as if they might burst at any time.

Just when Joan was worried that Ishtar would not be able to hold on, the beholder queen suddenly let out a hysterical howl, and there was a cracking sound of bones dislocating deep in her throat, and then, her lower jaw unexpectedly It was really dislocated, and it fell down limply, its throat was wide open, and blood gushed out.

The horrible and strange scene in front of him had a strong impact on Joan's vision and spirit, and he couldn't help shaking.

"Don't be afraid, this is a normal phenomenon when we beholders give birth." Saoirse swiftly helped Ishtar wipe away the blood spurting from her mouth, while calmly comforting Joan, "When you mature a little more, you can Will experience the pains of childbirth firsthand."

Qiao An suddenly shuddered again, she absolutely didn't want to experience this kind of thing! She even envied Saoirse a little bit, wishing that she would also receive some kind of mental stimulation, and be sterilized from now on, so as not to suffer this crime!

At this time, Ishtar's lower jaw has been unhooked from the jawbone, thereby maximally expanding the mouth.

In Joan's view, this behavior is similar to that a boa constrictor actively dislocates its jaws and expands the angle between the upper and lower jaws in order to swallow a huge prey, but the process and purpose of the two are exactly the opposite: the boa constrictor's jaw is unhooked to facilitate eating, and the beholder It is to regurgitate the uterus that has swelled to the limit from the depths of the throat.

Under Joan's curious gaze, a ball of meat with a diameter of about five feet slowly wriggled out of Ishtar's mouth. Lubricated by a large amount of plasma, she finally vomited it out completely, leaving only a slender The umbilical cord is connected to the mother's body and leads deep to the base of the tongue.

This big bloody ball is the beholder's uterus, which will fall off after giving birth, which is why most beholders can only have one child in their lifetime.

Only a very small number of beholders, after the uterus falls off, a new uterus will grow in the body, laying the foundation for another pregnancy.

This rare phenomenon is regarded by the beholders as a blessing from the "big mistress", but for the beholders who become mothers again, it is tantamount to suffering twice and suffering twice, and it is said to be a "curse". "On the contrary, it is more appropriate.

After all, Saoirse has rich experience in delivering babies. When Joan, a rookie midwife, was still at a loss, she had cast a spell to create a bucket of hot water, brought a pair of shiny silver scissors, and cut the umbilical cord with a click.

At the same time, the severed umbilical cord quickly retracted deep into Ishtar's throat like a rubber band.

Joan finally found a chance to help at this moment, and cast a spell to heal Ishtar's wounds to stop the bleeding, then stretched out two eye stalks, supported Her Majesty's chin, pushed upwards forcefully, and with a click, forced the dislocated joints reset.

Perhaps this reset method was too rough, Ishtar hissed in pain, and his bloodshot eyes glared at Joan, suspecting that this cunning little nurse wanted to murder him.

Joan hurriedly blessed Her Majesty with the 2nd-level spell "Pain Deactivation", which temporarily reduced her pain to one-tenth of the normal level.

Ishtar breathed a sigh of relief, his face softened.

While Joan was frantically taking care of Ishtar, the meat ball just given birth by the Beholder Queen, after getting rid of the drag of the umbilical cord, floated into the air by itself, pulsating rhythmically like a heart.

Saoirse held the big scissors and stood in front of the floating meat ball with a solemn expression.

Under her gaze, the fleshy ball spurted blood with a puff, and then a crack appeared, a small figure tore through the uterus, got out by itself, stretched ten slender and weak eye stalks, and floated in midair.

Taking the opportunity of helping deliver the baby, Joan quietly collected Ishtar's blood while Ishtar and Saoirsa were not paying attention, put it in a reagent bottle, and then cast a spell to analyze it after returning home.

The childbirth exhausted Ishtar's energy, he closed his main eyes tiredly, and issued a weak inquiry.

"How many survived?"

"Only one." Saoirse replied in a low voice.

"Did the others die in the womb?"

"My lord, there are no other cubs." Saoirse turned around with the newborn cub in her arms, with a strange expression on her face, "There is only one cub in your litter..."

A beholder gives birth at a time, and the womb can accommodate up to twelve cubs, usually six or seven, and sometimes three or four.

Like Ishtar this time, only one cub was born in one litter, which is an even rarer phenomenon than "twelve treasures in one litter"!

Happy holidays everyone!
