"Chief, should we keep these three eggs?"

Shi Linhu asked, "The villagers are all eager to get their hands on this amazing treasure egg. It would be such a waste to miss it."

"Didn't you see that ferocious bird outside the village? If we stay, it'll go crazy."

Shi Yunfeng frowned.

The old willow tree is mysterious and powerful, always guarding the village and preventing wild beasts from causing damage. Stone Village is its territory. But it only defends; it never steps out of the village, let alone launches an attack.

"Forget it, let's return the eggs to that featherless eagle."

An elder of the clan said.

The clansmen were very disappointed, but there was nothing they could do. The Azure-Scaled Eagle was very powerful; it was the top predator in this area. As long as the creatures deep in the mountains did not come out, it would be the overlord.

The group was cautious and careful, using two ancestral artifacts for protection and defense. Shi Ziling stayed behind to oversee the situation, delivering three bird eggs to the village entrance, placing them on the grass, and then quickly retreating.

At this moment, the intense light of the three mutated eggs had faded and was no longer so dazzling, but the newly added mysterious patterns had not disappeared. Compared with before, they were clearly eggs of two different types of birds.

The Azure-Scaled Eagle flapped its wings, transforming into a raging gust of wind, and instantly pounced over. With a spread of its wings, it protected the three eggs, then carefully stared at the special eggs with interwoven patterns and a shimmering, crystal-clear appearance.

With a long howl, the ferocious bird seemed extremely excited. Its cry shattered the heavens, causing the giant trees in the surrounding fields to tremble and leaves to fly wildly!
It took a long time before it raised its head, a strange look appearing in its eyes. The fierce light had long since disappeared. It stared at the old willow tree, Shi Yuntao, and Shi Ziling in the village, but dared not step into the village.

"Hurry up and take the eggs with you!" someone shouted, as if sending away a plague god.

However, to everyone's surprise, the Azure-Scaled Eagle flapped its wings and then suddenly flapped them, creating a howling wind that pushed all three eggs into the village, rolling them towards Shi Yuntao's feet.

"What? It didn't want it, so it gave it to us?" Everyone was a little stunned. What was going on? One strange thing after another.

"It saw the mutation in the egg, which was covered with runes and would become far more powerful than the egg in the future. It wanted to leave it to our clan so that we could raise it."

"This is what clan leader Shi Yunfeng said."

"How could it have such thoughts?" The group was surprised.

"Don't forget, this is a ferocious bird that has condensed mysterious runes in its body and possesses a source bone that overflows with mysterious power. Its intelligence should not be lower than that of humans."

The elder clansman said.

The more powerful the ferocious birds and beasts, the higher their intelligence. Legend has it that some ancient species are much smarter than humans, looking down on human tribes on the earth like gods.

The clan leader loudly inquired whether it truly intended to leave its offspring here. To its surprise, the Azure-Scaled Eagle nodded, then gestured with its eyes, looking at the three eggs, and then at Shi Yuntao and the old willow tree.

"call!"

A fierce wind arose, and the Azure Scaled Eagle, with a wingspan of fifteen or sixteen meters, soared into the sky and disappeared into the clouds in the blink of an eye.

Everyone was dumbfounded. They just left like that? Only three crystal-clear eggs remained on the ground. No one expected things to end like this.

"What should we do next, Uncle Lin Hu?" Er Meng asked.

"What are we going to do? You're the ones who caused this mess, and you bunch of little guys are going to be in charge of hatching the eggs!" Shi Linhu glared at him.

"Ah, no! Help!" a group of children screamed.

The three eggs were placed next to the altar under the big willow tree, and a special person was in charge of guarding them, waiting for the chicks to hatch. After all, these were the eggs of a powerful and fierce bird, and were very precious.

A dozen days later, with a crisp crack, an egg cracked and emitted rays of light. Then a cry rang out, the jade-like shell split open, and a small creature rolled out, its body covered in shimmering blue scales.

Then another egg cracked open, and a tiny creature emerged, peeking out with bright eyes and looking around.

The third egg was even more special. When it cracked open, it first emitted rays of purple light, then let out a cry, and the hard egg suddenly shattered into dust, where divine light shone brightly.

Shi Yuntao looked at the three Azure Scaled Eagle eggs with great interest. The ones that hatched at this time could no longer be considered Azure Scaled Eagles, but directly crossed a bloodline level and became Azure Sky Rocs.

The third egg, in particular, not only reverted to its ancestral bloodline and became the Azure Sky Roc, but also far surpassed the eldest and second eldest, becoming a purple roc no less powerful than a pure-blooded ferocious beast cub. Even if placed on the ancient divine mountain, it would be an extremely powerful genius.

This result pleased Shi Yuntao. In the original story, although Liu Shen made a move, he did not care about it. In addition, he had not yet recovered, so he only helped the egg, which was already somewhat atavistic, to sublimate its bloodline.

Shi Yuntao, however, was different. As one of the elders of Shi Village, he naturally wanted to enhance the village's foundation and ensure that all three eggs would revert to their ancestral bloodline and become Azure Sky Rocs, so that each of them would become a potential Venerable in the future.

The third son even has the potential to ignite the divine fire and become a true god.

Such power, placed in the lower realms, already represents an extremely powerful foundation.

"They're born!" a group of children cheered, ran home, fetched pieces of meat, and were about to feed the three fledglings.

Suddenly, a long cry rang out, and a huge, ferocious bird swooped down from the clouds, rapidly approaching Stone Village and casting a large shadow.

"Hey, after disappearing for more than half a month, that Azure-scaled Eagle has returned. Could it be that it has changed its mind and wants to take back its offspring?" a villager exclaimed.

"No, what is that?" People exclaimed in surprise, their eyes wide with astonishment.

With a loud "boom," dust billowed into the sky outside the village. The Azure-Scaled Eagle released its giant claws, and the enormous creature crashed to the ground, creating a large crater. Soil and rocks flew everywhere, and dust billowed up.

This was a gigantic elephant with dragon horns, six or seven meters long and five or six meters tall. Its enormous horns gleamed with a precious light. It was extremely heavy, having broken several towering ancient trees. By now, it was already dead. Its skull, larger than a millstone, had several claw holes, from which blood gushed. It had been killed with a single blow!
"What is the Azure-Scaled Eagle doing? Does it want us to feed its three-headed chicks with this? It really is just like a human, possessing great intelligence!" the tribesmen exclaimed in amazement.

With a whoosh, a strong wind arose, whipping up large swaths of broken branches and leaves, and the Azure-Scaled Eagle soared into the sky once more.

The villagers were all smiles. It was an unexpected surprise. No one had expected that the Blue-scaled Eagle would bring a ferocious beast. This kind of fierce bird is truly intelligent and perceptive.

In the days that followed, the Azure-scaled Eagle brought prey from time to time, including flying pythons and giant elephants, as well as all kinds of wild beasts from the mountains.

In just one month, the three little guys have swelled up like balloons, and are now nearly two meters long. Their appetite is also astonishing, growing bigger every day.

"The eldest is called Dapeng, the second is called Xiaoqing, and the third is called Ziyun." These are the names the children gave to the three baby birds.

It must be said that the three Azure Rocs are all very intelligent and extraordinary. They understand human nature and can understand anything you say to them, but they just can't speak human language.

The third one, Ziyun, was the most intelligent and also exceptionally powerful. When it was just over a meter long, it flapped its wings and ran out of the village, tearing apart several tigers and wolves, leaving the villagers dumbfounded.

"Little Purple, come quick."

Shi Hao ran ahead, and Zi Yun chased after him, much to the envy of the group of children. This extraordinary baby bird was exceptionally close to the little one.

"Chirp!"

Ziyun ran over and used its scales to massage the little one's back, making it hard to believe that this was a fierce Azure Sky Roc.

"What a bootlicker! So what if the little brat taught you bone script?!"

A group of children pouted indignantly.

The little guy had a unique idea: he insisted on teaching the three Azure Sky Rocs the bone script developed by humans. As a result, the mutated Purple Cloud learned it with great enthusiasm, becoming even smarter than humans, and grew closer and closer to him.

"call out!"

The little one raised his arm, and runes lit up, his arms covered with many patterns that shone brightly. Then, he pointed a finger, and with a hiss, a small crimson sparrow flew out, setting a large tree in front of him ablaze.

"Slap," "Slap"...

Ziyun flapped its wings together, making a clapping sound as if it were applauding in praise. Its big, bright eyes blinked, and it chirped incessantly, showing a fawning expression.

"Wow, this bird is amazing! It's only a month old, but it already knows so much. It's much better than a human at one month old!" a group of children exclaimed.

Huffing and puffing, the other two roc birds and Xiao Qing also ran over and nuzzled the little one with their heads. Intelligent birds of prey crave power more than humans, and teaching them bone script can accelerate their growth.

During this period, Little Shi Hao also gained a lot, because the Azure Scaled Eagle, as a descendant of the ancient demonic bird, naturally possessed a precious bone in its body and formed a powerful rune with amazing mysterious power, which he had been observing.

The patterns that grow from these primordial precious bones are exclusive to this race. The more powerful the ancient species, the less they allow these runes to be passed on; otherwise, they will hunt them down with all their might. Fortunately, these three fledglings are special, being raised by the villagers. These primordial runes are extremely rare, far surpassing ordinary bone script studied by humans. They are a closely guarded secret and can be called precious runes.

It can be said that such a rune is equivalent to a very powerful bone book of the human race. Any creature that can naturally generate runes in its body is definitely extraordinary.

The two ancestral artifacts of Stone Village were detached from two extremely terrifying ancient remnants. After being polished and refined, they became the terrifying treasures they are today.

Recently, Little Shi Hao has been spending a lot of time with the three-headed fledgling bird and has figured out a lot of tricks. Shi Ziling, the clan leader Shi Yunfeng, and the awakened Shi Yuntao are also happy to see them together.

The Azure-Scaled Eagles possess the treasured techniques of their clan, while the two Azure-Sky Rocs have also evolved the Azure-Sky Roc Treasure Bone. If this technique is successfully researched, Stone Village will have another powerful treasured technique that can be passed down through generations.

Especially Ziyun, which has undergone a reversion to its ancestral state. Even if it only inherited part of the mark of the ancient demonic bird, it will still be extremely terrifying and astonishing. The runes in its body can definitely be called a "secret bone book".

If this gets out, it will definitely tempt some tribes.

In the early morning, the red sun rises in the mist, and the soft rays of light fall, dyeing the thick fog in the mountains and forests with colors and flowing slowly.

The air was fresh, and dewdrops rolled off the grass and vines. A group of young men from Stone Village were about to set off for another hunting trip.

"Father, Uncle, please be careful when you go into the mountains."

Little Shi Hao was playing with three baby birds when he came running over to see them off, his little face upturned, his eyes bright, greeting each one. He went to bed early and woke up early too.

A group of young men laughed heartily, walked over and pinched his rosy, apple-like cheeks, and then strode into the forest.

"Little Purple, let me take another look at the runes that have formed in your body. I still don't quite understand them."

After playing around, the little one stretched out his tender white hands and hugged Ziyun's neck affectionately, making it relax and reveal the mark on the precious bone so that he could explore it.

"Chirp chirp..." Dapeng and Xiaoqing were dissatisfied and came over to rub their heads against his forearm.

"Dapeng, stop fooling around. I need to study your runes later. Xiaoqing, I'll take you to catch some dragon fish to eat later. Don't bother me now." The little one also hugged their necks to soothe them.

In fact, the three-headed fledgling is now much taller than Shi Hao. Whether in the past or now, he was the little guy in the village.

"Wow, so that's how it works! The changes are so complex, as intricate as the arrangement of many stars." The little one's eyes widened as he saw the dazzling patterns that emerged from the precious bone within Zi Yun's body onto her skin. This time, he finally understood a lot of it.

"Chirp!"

Dapeng and Xiaoqing were also very curious. They stared intently at the runes growing inside their brother's body, as if trying to memorize them and digest them into their minds.

"Dapeng, Xiaoqing, let me take a look at your treasure talismans." The little one turned his head and focused his attention on the other two Azure Scaled Eagles.

He kept exploring and touching their precious bones, where a crystal-clear radiance emerged and mysterious symbols manifested, making the scales appear translucent and splendid.

The little one pondered carefully, refining his thoughts and insights accumulated over the past few days. Then, he closed his eyes and murmured to himself, "It should be like this: intricate patterns connect, evolve, and then glow, a mysterious power emerges..."

"call out!"

The little one's left hand shone brightly, and then a brilliant crescent moon shot out, quickly flying into the distance. With a crack, it cleaved a towering tree in two, and the tree crashed to the ground with a loud thud, filling the air with dust.

"Wow, little one succeeded! He actually learned the Azure Scaled Eagle's skills. That's a Primal Treasure Talisman! It's so powerful!" A group of children nearby were stunned when they saw this.

"Silence!" The clan chief appeared, and the commotion naturally startled him. He told the children to stop making noise so as not to disturb Shi Hao, who first looked confused and then fell into thought.

"Let me take another look, Ziyun. After getting confirmation from Dapeng and Xiaoqing, I think I understand a little." Shi Hao hugged Ziyun's neck, his eyes bright, as if he had realized something.

The purple cloud cried out, its entire body radiating a precious glow, appearing incomparably sacred. Although still young, it already possessed an aura of unassailable majesty, causing the villagers to feel a chill run down their spines. (End of Chapter)
