After killing a few more immature giant eagles staying in their nests, Li Xiao completely cleaned up the top of the central island.
Looking into the nest one by one, Li Xiao's expression was gloomy and uncertain.
Of course you are happy if there are eggs in the nest, but if there are not, you will inevitably be disappointed. The most annoying thing is that there are obviously eggs, but if you look closely, they have been destroyed by the oviraptor...
In the end, Li Xiao found a total of seven giant eagle eggs on the top of the mountain.
Three of them were damaged - two were basically empty, leaving only empty eggshells. Only one eagle egg still had a lot of egg liquid left because it was placed sideways.
Of course, it was impossible for this eagle egg to hatch, so Li Xiao "reluctantly" turned it into his belly...
When four intact eagle eggs were placed together, Li Xiao's eyes widened!
These eggs may soon become four giant eagles soaring in the sky and earth, giant eagles that belong only to him, Li Xiao!
Together with the large and small giant eagles at home, Li Xiao has six giant eagles!
When all six giant eagles reach adulthood, the scene will be...
Let alone combat power, the load that six flying giant eagles can carry is a terrifying figure.
Compared with large ground-walking load-bearing creatures such as Diplodocus, giant eagles are the best pets for transporting materials in the sky. With them, Li Xiao has made a qualitative leap in material transportation.
For example, if Li Xiao had six adult giant eagles with saddles this time when he went to the mountain for mining, he would not have to lead the Diplodocus, Triceratops, and Parasaurolophus up the mountain step by step.
Let a giant eagle grasp the "mining tool" of the Ankylosaurus, and the remaining giant eagles are responsible for carrying the collected minerals. The efficiency is definitely several times that of leading a group of ground creatures up and down the mountain.
After all, flying is faster than walking.
…
Center island, eastern courtyard.
After collecting a large amount of iron ore, Li Xiao went down the mountain and did not bother to make a legendary long-barreled rifle. The first thing he did was to put four giant eagle eggs into the incubation room in the eastern courtyard.
After taming the red-haired giant eagle trapped in this house, the house once again returned to its original purpose-hatching eggs.
Hatching giant eagle eggs is not a simple matter, especially after asking the red-haired giant eagle and finding out that the red-haired giant eagle refused to help, Li Xiao had to find a way on his own.
Fortunately, he has also hatched biological eggs in the Ark game.
Li Xiao didn't know the suitable temperature for incubating giant eagle eggs, and he didn't have a thermometer.
He had only one stupid way - to get under the belly of the giant red-haired eagle and feel the temperature, and then use a campfire to reach the same temperature under the belly of the giant red-haired eagle.
It has to be said that the body temperature of the giant eagle is really high. Li Xiao, whose body was buried in the feathers of the giant eagle with only one head exposed, was sweating profusely in a short time.
The feeling was just like being hit by the direct sun at two o'clock in the afternoon on a hot summer day.
With Giant Eagle's disgusted look on his face, Li Xiao experienced it for a while, and then quickly ran to the incubation room.
First, four eagle eggs were placed one by one in the center of the room, and then Li Xiao lit several bonfires around the room.
The bonfire was burning brightly, and the smoke from the burning drifted outside along an empty roof.
The roof was dissipating heat, but there were too many bonfires to hold. After a while, the temperature of the entire room rose sharply, like an oven.
Feeling that the temperature was too high, Li Xiao extinguished another bonfire.
The temperature of the entire room was maintained at a temperature of more than 30 degrees to less than 40 degrees.
…
It has to be said that hatching eggs is a very laborious job. Within an hour, Li Xiao had to go into the incubation room to add fuel to the bonfire and check the condition of the eggs, day and night.
Within two days, his expression became haggard, and his eyes turned the color of a giant panda.
Really unable to hold on any longer, he had to call Zhou Qingyi over, and the two took turns on duty.
Finally, when Zhou Qingyi's face was covered with dark circles, the eagle eggs in the incubation room started to move.
At first, the eagle egg only shook slightly, and then it became more and more violent, until the whole egg started shaking.
The two "giant pandas" were no longer sleepy at this moment, staring at the four eagle eggs in front of them with wide eyes...
First is the first one - the eggshell gradually cracks and bulges, and the little life inside is trying to break free from the first shackles it has come into this world.
The broken bulge quickly fell down again, and the movement in the egg also stopped. It must be that the little eagle inside had lost its strength.
Li Xiao, Zhou Yi and others didn't dare to breathe, staring straight at the eagle egg.
The silence did not last long, and soon, the eggshell bulged again!
This time the height of the bulge was even greater than before, almost breaking through the shackles of the eggshell. Unfortunately, after persisting for a while, the eggshell was recovered again.
This made the two people on the side really confused, and they couldn't help but have the urge to help it.
However, the two of them were still sensible. They knew that Xiaoying had to go through the first hurdle on his own, so they did not help.
Soon, the third bulge appeared. This time, the eggshell was no longer an obstacle, and a bare head poked out easily.
"squeak--"
The newborn eagle saw the outside world and let out its first cry in this world.
The sound is harsh, a bit like a mouse.
Li Xiao, who was standing by, was already prepared. He took a clean cloth blanket and stepped forward to pick up the young eagle, which was covered in mucus.
The little eagle has a bare head and only a few scattered hairs on its body, just like the last few stubborn hairs on the head of a middle-aged man with hair loss.
Zhou Yi turned her head to look at Li Xiao, her mouth dropped into a frown.
"It's so ugly..."
Li Xiao: "Um - it looks better if it's longer."
…
One of the great advantages of oviparous animals is that they do not need to nurse. A newly hatched eagle like this is already ready to eat.
He fed half a bucket of mashed raw meat to the young eagle, which was waiting for food. Only then did the young eagle stop being hungry.
Sure enough, it is a race that can grow into a giant. It is really amazing that this newly born young eagle has such a large appetite.
After feeding the little eagle, the eggs next to it began to stir again, and it seemed that the second one was about to be born.
Compared to the first one, this second little eagle was much more powerful. The cracks in the eggshell were constantly protruding. Under the gaze of the two people, the little eagle directly broke through the eggshell and exposed its head.
Before Li Xiao and the two could make any move, the little eagle had already struggled to get out of the cracked eggshell.
It staggered and fell several times, but in the end it stood up tremblingly and whispered to Li Xiao, Zhou Yi and the others.
Li Xiao had a smile on his face. He liked this tenacious one better than the first little eagle that broke out of its shell.
Wrapped in a blanket, picked up and fed, and started the same action again.
The two waited for a long time before the third egg hatched.
Placing the three hatched eaglets together, Li Xiao's eyes turned to the last eagle egg.
Unlike the previous three eagle eggs, which started shaking early, this eagle has been placed in the incubation room for so many days without any movement.
Judging from the size, among the four eagle eggs, this one is definitely the largest. It could be a strong young eagle.
"You go back and rest first, I'll wait..."
Li Xiao waved Zhou Yi back, while he continued to guard the eagle egg.
The burning bonfire continued, and Li Xiao waited for another two days...
