Orc Horde Upgrade System

Meng Yuqing picked up the dozen or so eggs and looked at them under the sunlight.

There are many chicks in these eggs that are fully developed, but they don't know why they don't come out.

A few of them stopped growing halfway through, and two of them didn't even grow until they were bloodshot.

Lian also came over and sat on the hay and said, "These clucking beasts have been breaking their shells one after another since the evening. I counted the time. If they are from the same litter, if they haven't come out by this time at most, they will be out." not coming."

Meng Yuqing held a fully developed egg and said, "But inside these eggs, they have grown up, and I can still feel them moving, not dead."

Chain scratched his head, not knowing what to say.

But the flying orc who hatched the duck eggs said, "They can't break their eggshells, and they will die sooner or later if they stay inside."

"We can help it from the outside." Meng Yuqing poked the egg in his hand.

"Hey—but they can't even break their own eggshells. Even if we force them out, they will be weaker than their own kind and can't survive." Lian also picked up an egg.

If their flying orc partners are pregnant with little orcs, they can lay two to three eggs in one litter.

But not every egg can be successfully cracked. Their instincts tell them that even if they help a cub that cannot break its shell by itself, that cub will be much weaker than a normal cub.

Some even die within a few days after being out.

Fortunately, they didn't die. As they grow older, the gap between them and normal orcs that have broken their shells will become larger and larger. The size of their beasts will only be one-third the size of other normal orcs, similar to some small beasts.

"But these are domestic animals, aren't they? They're not beastmen, and they're not beasts that need to survive outside. All we need is that there are enough of them for us to eat, and they can continue to lay eggs when they grow up." Meng Yuqing said.

Lian and the flying orc frowned and thought for a while, it seems that this is the case. Birds in the wild need to survive by themselves when they grow up, and orcs also need strong strength.

Breaking the shell is the first difficulty for them to prove themselves.

But domestic animals are different. They are very weak. No matter how weak they are, they will not be so weak. Even if they die soon after breaking their shells, there is no loss for them. They can continue to lay eggs after they survive.

And it wasn't an orc's egg, let alone their own.

After thinking about this, Lian said softly, "Then why don't we try?"

The flying orc also nodded, and then he stretched his neck to watch the movement here. It was the first time they saw someone helping to break the shell, and they were very curious.

Meng Yuqing took out a corner knife and tapped the eggshell carefully.

After the little chicken inside felt the movement outside, it exerted some force inside.

Meng Yuqing knocked out the cracks in the eggshell and carefully opened a piece. The little chicken inside struggled even harder, and soon pierced the membrane with her mouth.

After Meng Yuqing knocked out a few more cracks, he put the egg down. This little chick is not bad, and it should be able to come out by itself after being helped to this extent.

"Is that all right?" Lian looked at the egg.

"It's almost there, let it try again by itself, and if it really doesn't work, then go help." As he said, Meng Yuqing picked up the second egg.

The time for the second egg seems to have not fully expired, and there are still some eggs inside that have not been completely absorbed by the night, Meng Yuqing carefully put the egg into Xuan's hand, "Take it, don't pour it, this one will stay in the egg for a while , the nutrients have not been absorbed yet."

After breaking all the formed eggs inside, the little chick in the first eggshell has come out smoothly.

It looked a bit weak, Lian and the flying orc frowned and looked at the chick for a long time before Lian said, "Weaker than the other clucks that came out of himself, but not much, and should be able to survive."

As he spoke, he sighed, "If only our eggs were only a little bit weaker when they were cracked with external help."

The flying orc also said, "Yeah, but ours has been too bad since the eggs were hatched, but it's also very good. Our flying orcs have a higher chance of giving birth to two cubs than you."

Xuan and Meng Yuqing stayed here until evening.

In the end, three chicks who helped break the shell died, but the chick from the second egg survived.

Because the egg Meng Yuqing knocked open was at the chick's tail, so when the chick could start cracking the shell after absorbing the egg, it directly pecked the eggshell at the head, and did not rely on Meng Yuqing to knock it out. Cracks and broken shells.

Lian looked at this scene in amazement, "Is it due to our help, or it came out by itself."

"Half and half."

Meng Yuqing scratched his head, he actually didn't know how to count.

He felt that the little chick hadn't moved since it wasn't time to break out of its shell.

It's not that he is incapable of breaking the shell, he feels that his group of people seem to be doing it a disservice.

The little chicken nestled obediently in Xuan's hand, making chirping noises from time to time.

Meng Yuqing looked at the little chicken, thought for a while and said, "Let's take this clucking beast away and keep it."

Xuan looked at Meng Yuqing, then at the little chicken in his hand.

"Okay, let's keep it."

He knew that Meng Yuqing's keeping was different from other domestic animals. It should be the kind of pet keeping that Meng Yuqing told him about.

Although he doesn't quite understand the behavior of keeping a "pet", Xuan feels that since Meng Yuqing likes it, it's okay to keep such a little thing.

It's a small one, it doesn't have much attack power, and it can make Meng Yuqing happy.

Before leaving, Meng Yuqing said to the chain, "They are quite easy to take care of. Just keep them warm and don't freeze to death. Just feed them some vegetable leaves or insects. Put them in a box and take them out on the ground to bask in the sun." , they will find their own food in the grass."

Thinking that the bugs in this world are bigger than the modern world, these little chickens can't handle them, he added, "For bugs, it's best to kill them and feed them, they... may not be able to beat them now Bugs, don’t feed them poisonous bugs, they may not be able to withstand toxins.”
