Today, the sky was clear for thousands of miles!
In the sky, the blazing sun hung high, and the warmth in the air made the Fire Wyverns feel very comfortable. Even when flying at high altitude, the difference in temperature would not become great enough to make their scales feel uncomfortable.
On the top level of the Ancient Tree, inside the huge nest that was enormous and possessed the rough aesthetics of the Ancient Tree Fire Wyvern tribe, Aki kept her eyes tightly shut. In that nest woven together out of ice-blue, crystal-like vines supplemented with large numbers of crystal-like leaves that had been named "Terastal branches and buds," she continuously mobilized her own energy to satisfy the needs of the egg inside her body to be born.
Logan stood there like this, his body towering, watchfully guarding at Aki's side, his pair of blue pupils constantly sweeping over the surroundings.
At this moment, in this vast nest, only the couple was present.
The instinct in his genes was something that even Logan could not avoid. When Aki was giving birth, he subconsciously released his own pressure, driving away all living creatures in the surroundings and cutting off any possibility that might affect Aki's delivery.
Without a doubt, at this time, no matter who it was, as long as they dared to enter the nest, they would draw Logan's merciless Calamity Flame Breath.
Fortunately, the Fire Wyvern Grimalkynes were very experienced with this sort of matter.
When Logan first could not control his own instinct and displayed a violent posture, the Fire Wyvern Grimalkynes tacitly left the nest and blew the summoning horn, calling over most of the Fire Wyvern Grimalkynes on the Ancient Tree.
They gathered in circle after circle outside the nest, blocking away the many probing gazes.
At the Ancient Tree research base, the Fire Wyvern Ecology Investigation Team, Breeding Habits First Squad — which could also be said to be the medical team that, while taking care of Fire Wyvern eggs and ensuring the survival rate of the hatchlings, incidentally recorded data on the mutation progression of the new generation of the Ancient Tree Fire Wyvern tribe — upon receiving the news, arrived early outside Logan's nest.
It was just that as soon as they arrived, they were blocked outside by the cats.
Even though Logan had not given such an order, both the Wyverians of the Ancient Tree and the Grimalkynes all understood very clearly that the data of the offspring of the King of Fire Wyverns absolutely must not leak out.
In the future, whatever the Research Commission could come to understand through daily observation would be their own ability.
But more detailed data would be out of the question.
After all, Logan, as the foundation of all ecology on the Ancient Tree and also the final safeguard of this ecology, made it possible for people to use detailed data on his offspring to perform reverse-tracing inference on Logan's own specific data.
Therefore, even though the Ancient Tree and the Research Commission were allies with deep exchanges, they still could not let the people of the Research Commission go in. Even if the dragon egg of this birth had a problem, it would still not be allowed!
The scholars of the Research Commission were only somewhat fanatical, but they were not brainless, so they did not do anything that would make both sides embarrassed. Instead, just like the ancient Wyverians, they quietly waited outside for news from inside the nest.
At the same time, on the offshore waters outside the New World, dark clouds were densely packed, and bolts of lightning fell from the sky, crashing into the sea and striking out a region of thunder and lightning.
A large number of huge sea fish did not have time to dive into the deeper parts of the sea to avoid it, and they were shrouded in the lightning, turning belly-up and floating to the surface of the sea.
Amid the thunderstorm, the figure of the Mythical Beast Kirin appeared and disappeared, its four hooves carrying lightning as it ran over the surface of the sea.
Its body, more than ten meters long, would now and then turn into lightning and disappear from where it was, and in the next second appear again in the distance.
The dark clouds in the sky, accompanying Kirin's movement, rapidly spread toward the New World.
Outside the thunderstorm area, seven huge dragonbone warships carrying large numbers of cannons and ballistae were cutting through the waves, sailing along the route that Kirin had passed over.
The violent residual lightning on the surface of the sea was blocked off by the dragonbone at the bottoms of the great ships.
One could only see one large net after another being cast down from the ships, and amid orderly shouts, large numbers of belly-up sea fish were hauled up onto the ships by the giant nets.
"Everyone, move quickly. Finish the preliminary processing work on all these sea fish as soon as possible. After we arrive at the New World, we will immediately start making them into reserve food! We of the Fourth Fleet have so many people, we absolutely cannot drag down the seniors in the New World."
The Fourth Fleet Master was a capable woman who had come from a merchant background. She was born with an extremely keen instinct for numbers, and after later joining the Hunter's Guild, she was simultaneously responsible for the flow of Hunter's Guild supplies between several kingdoms.
After the joint letter from the Commander and the Admiral, together with the liaison ship's captain, safely returned to the Old World, it immediately drew the attention of the Hunter's Guild.
After the Guild got in touch with the kingdoms and a round of negotiations, in the end, at the last possible moment they cancelled that ship of scholars, temporarily transferred quite a few logistics personnel with rich experience in field resource investigation, and only then finally scraped together the manpower for these seven ships.
Although the Fourth Fleet had many people and consumed a large amount of supplies, they were more fortunate than the people of the previous few fleets.
Along this entire route, Kirin was just like a legal electric-fishing machine: wherever it walked, it shocked wherever it walked, and a large number of sea fish directly solved the food problem of the Fourth Fleet. Sometimes, the food was even so abundant that the warehouses could no longer hold it.
And Kirin could not fly. Perhaps because it wanted to conserve physical strength, even when performing teleportation in the thunderstorm it only carried out short-distance teleportation, so Kirin's figure was constantly locked onto by the Fourth Fleet.
They did not need, like the previous three fleets, to constantly pay attention to the strange phenomena in the sky, locate the Elder Dragons among them, and painstakingly and laboriously ensure that their sailing route was correct.
"We see it!"
Along with the sound coming from the lookout tower, the flagship on which the Fourth Fleet Master was riding immediately raised signal flags, planning to fire a signal flare right after approaching the New World.
Having drifted at sea for a long time made the members of the Fourth Fleet somewhat physically and mentally exhausted. At this moment, as they were finally about to arrive, the crowd could not help cheering.
But unlike the joyful mood of the Fourth Fleet, Logan's mood became unpleasant along with the strong winds blowing outside and the spreading dark clouds.
Today's weather had originally been at a temperature suitable for giving birth, and Logan had just been peacefully staying inside the nest accompanying Aki in giving birth. He had not expected that the originally clear weather would suddenly turn gloomy again.
Looking at Aki, who was lying in the nest and whose breathing was gradually becoming rapid, although he knew Aki's condition at this moment did not have much relationship with this sudden cold air mass, a surge of flame still rose in Logan's heart.
Lowering his head to lick Aki's forehead, and under the gaze of Aki's eyes that opened with clear exhaustion, Logan flew directly out of the nest.
The Grimalkynes guarding outside were almost knocked over by a gust of strong wind. They watched Logan turn into a white line and shoot into the sky, crashing into the dark clouds.
In the next second, a warm ray of light pierced through the black clouds, and immediately afterward, as if a chain reaction had begun, streak after streak of dark cloud was cut apart by the light.
The thunderstorm that had already begun approaching gradually quieted within the light, and the raindrops that had just begun falling disappeared completely.
The opening pierced by the light grew larger and larger, and after a loud dragon roar—
The wind—settled!
The sky cleared once again. In the nest, perhaps because it felt the familiar warm aura, or perhaps because it sensed its "father's" displeasure, the silver egg with ice-blue patterns, which had still been absorbing nutrients from the mother's body, finally deigned to emerge from the mother's body.
