Chapter 269 The Cute Cub Just Hatched and Requested to Establish a Research Base
On the fifteenth day of Rizhao, just as scholars had speculated, the first fire dragon cub successfully broke out of its shell. As expected, it was a healthy female fire dragon cub.
In the suitable temperature of 35 degrees, with eyes closed, its big head swayed with some egg liquid and white silk threads hanging on it. It sniffed but didn't smell the mother's scent, and immediately opened its mouth and cried out with full energy.
In the sky, the female fire dragons who were patrolling the surrounding situation stopped one after another and looked down with expectation.
Soon, one of the female fire dragons roared with joy, flapped its wings wildly, and dived straight down.
When it arrived above the fire dragon egg, it turned its angle as if it had reacted and made a big turn in the air, and then carefully landed next to the female fire dragon cub.
It hummed softly in its nose and stretched out its tongue to lick the dirt off the cub.
The female dragon cub with eyes closed shook its big head, feeling the warmth and wetness on its body, smelling the smell that made the dragon feel at ease, and then slowly stopped crying, instinctively propped up its wings, and gently rubbed the chin of the female dragon mother.
This seemed to be the first time for this female dragon to be a mother. Feeling the touch from her chin, she couldn't help but want to open her wings to vent her extreme joy, but stopped at the last moment, fearing that she would accidentally hurt the newborn.
"Wow, wow!"
As if she had collected the smell of her mother, the female dragon cub opened her mouth and cried softly.
Looking at the actions of her cub, the female dragon mother was a little at a loss. She couldn't understand what the cub wanted to express at this moment, so she raised her head and looked around in a panic. This helpless look made the female dragons in the sky who had been paying attention to the bottom feel the same.
Once, when they hatched their cubs for the first time, they also behaved like this.
Fortunately, although this female fire dragon was a mother for the first time, there were experienced cats around.
Accompanied by the sound of a bone whistle, several cats wearing aprons quickly pushed a cart of nutritious liquid food prepared a few days ago.
Now, the mother fire dragon also understood what she should do.
Through the hollow large thorns on the chin, the nutritious liquid food made with cat food craftsmanship was fed to the cubs to be fed bit by bit.
This warm scene made the cats wipe away tears.
The birth of this cub was really not easy!
On the edge of the big platform, Xiaoxia Dragon looked at this scene, and her nose was inexplicably sour. She turned her head to look at her old mother, but found that Xia Guagua was also watching.
"Look at her mother!"
"Rebellious son!"
Well, as a little dragon that could only eat rotten plants after barely breaking out of its shell, it naturally did not experience the warm moments of the fire dragon mother and daughter at this moment, especially the subsequent old mother sold her gorgeously and shamelessly snatched food. It was really hard to describe the relationship between her and her old mother.
And Xia Gua Gua also felt uncomfortable with the intimate behavior between the female fire dragon cub and the female fire dragon before. This rebellious son had only played tricks with her every day. When did he show the intimate behavior that only belonged to the cub and the mother?
Li Mingming had already given the little dragon so much maternal love!
What a rebellious son! !
Except for the dragons in question, no other creatures noticed the parent-child interaction between the mother and the dragon.
On the other side, the female fire dragon cub breaking out of the shell was like a signal, and the fire dragon cubs began to break out of the shell one after another.
In less than half a day, all the female fire dragons fell down and began to feed with the help of the cat.
The male fire dragons who went out hunting returned, and after a moment of excitement, they flew to the hunting ground again without saying a word.
The cubs were successfully born. According to the cat food rules newly formulated by Luo Yun, they had to hunt more food to exchange for more cat food.
As for eating ordinary raw meat like before?
Sorry, there was no such condition in the past, and now with cat food, how can the cubs live the same life as before!
This meticulous care from parents seems to be an instinct shared by most creatures with families, and for fire dragons, this love will last for 3 to 5 years until the cubs have the ability to hunt alone, and then it will disappear drastically.
At that time, the young dragons, let alone eating cat food, can't even eat ordinary meat. Although they can stay in their parents' nests for a while, they are only worthy of eating dog food from their parents at that time! !
With the birth of the fire dragon cubs, the ancient tree rarely became lively again. The atmosphere that was silent before because of the issue of offspring was now washed away by the joy.
Three days later, with the last male fire dragon cub hatching, this batch of fire dragon eggs finally came to an end.
After the scholars conducted the final inspection and determined that the last egg was dead, the cats immediately stepped forward and pushed the special cat cart to sort the eggs one by one, intending to transport them back to the original fire dragon nests as "nutritional meals" for the newborn cubs and female fire dragons.
The hatching rate was also successfully calculated, 30%, which exceeded Luo Yun's initial expectations. It is a relatively satisfactory hatching rate for the current ancient tree fire dragon group.
As for the male-female ratio, it still reached a level of four to one.
It seems that even if the genes have mutated, they still cannot break the ratio between male and female fire dragons in the New World. After exiting the sunlight state, Luo Yun slowly fell down. At this time, he saw the short dragon scholar accompanied by the cat, who seemed a little embarrassed to come over.
"Dear King of Fire Dragons, we hope to choose a place on the ancient tree to establish a special ancient tree forest research base, and hope to get your consent."
This is the request of the deputy director, and it is also the request discussed by the scholars during this period.
During this period, they have been recognized by the fire dragon group. Under the protection of the cat and the fire dragon group, without too many external threats, it seems to be a good choice to establish a research base in the ancient tree.
Not only can they better observe the blazing sun dragon, but they can also conduct relevant research on the ancient tree and the ancient tree fire dragon group. It is simply an idea of killing two birds with one stone.
Therefore, after the discussion, the deputy director took advantage of the moment when the fire dragon was most friendly to them to make this request to Luo Yun.
As expected, Luo Yun readily agreed to this matter.
Although there are few scholars in the Star Base now, almost all of them are all-round elites. If a research base is established on the ancient tree, it will also be a good thing for the ancient tree fire dragon group.
At least when a situation like the fire dragon egg appears, these scholars can be asked to help in the first place.
I believe they will be happy to do so!
