Chapter 256: Premature Birth
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The first to discover the enemy was Craw Craw.
As usual, he was in the sunflower field picking up the fallen sunflower seeds. He was surprised to find signs of enemy action nearby.
At that time, he didn’t know that the enemy were demons. He immediately hugged the sunflower seeds in his arms and ran back to the rock mountain to tell Feng Lan what he had discovered.
Feng Lan led the patrol team to investigate.
Seeing that they couldn’t hide anymore, the assault team gritted their teeth and rushed out with their men.
When Feng Lan saw that it was the demons, he was shocked. He let out a wolf howl as he led his men to resist the invasion of the demons.
The wolf howl spread throughout the entire rock mountain, startling all the wolf beasts.
As long as they were adult male beasts, they all moved and rushed in the direction of the demons.
The sunflowers fired their seeds wildly, and the long beans kept exploding.
Unfortunately, the demons had thick skin. The flesh wounds caused by the mutated plants were nothing to them. They completely ignored the attacks of the mutated plants and kept killing and destroying them.
When Shen Yan received the news, he immediately led the feather beasts down the mountain.
Their huge wings brushed past the heads of the beasts. Many of the demons had their shoulders grabbed by the birds and were forced to experience the pleasure of flying.
Han Ying glanced at the birds in the sky and said, “Where are the winged beasts?”
Fei Jue replied respectfully, “They just arrived.”
“I’ll leave those guys in the sky to them.”
“Understood.”
Fei Jue immediately turned around and gave Lord Han Ying’s orders.
Soon, more than 50 winged beasts flew out from among the demon army.
The winged beasts also had wings on their backs. Unlike the birds, their wings were not covered in feathers. Their skeletons were covered in a thin layer of flesh. They looked a little like the wings of a pterodactyl from the Jurassic period.
As soon as Shen Yan saw the winged beasts, the killing intent in his eyes became even more obvious.
It was this group that had destroyed their home and forced them to leave their home back then. They had traveled a long way and migrated to the rock mountain.
This hatred was irreconcilable!
Shen Yan ordered sternly, “Kill these winged beasts. Don’t let a single one of them go!”
“Roger that!”
As soon as the feather tribe and the winged beasts made contact, sparks exploded from the conflict!
The sky became a battlefield for the beasts to fight.
Blood kept falling and filling the air.
Han Ying stood high and watched everything coldly.
A black figure appeared silently beside him.
Han Ying turned around and pressed a fist to his chest. “Father.”
Xing Chen looked up, and his hood slid down, revealing a pale, almost sickly, handsome face. His short gray-white curly hair swayed in the wind, and his bright red lips curled.
His amber eyes were filled with starlight.
“Is Huanhuan on this mountain?”
His voice was ethereal as if he were floating over from a distant shore.
Han Ying replied respectfully, “Yes.”
“I really can’t wait to see her again.”
The news of the invasion quickly spread throughout the rock mountain.
Huanhuan was already anxious about the children. When she suddenly heard that the demons had come knocking on her door, she was even more anxious. She felt her stomach ache.
At first, she thought it was just because she was too nervous.
But her stomach was hurting more and more. It hurt so much that she could barely stand.
Only then did she realize something was wrong. “I might be in labor,” she said through gritted teeth.
Sang Ye and Xue Ling were shocked.
“Didn’t you say you were going to give birth in another month?”
Huanhuan gritted her teeth and said in a trembling voice, “Maybe it’s premature.”
The babies were not very stable to begin with. It was not particularly surprising that they would be born prematurely. However, she did not expect them to be born prematurely at this juncture. It was terrible!
Sang Ye quickly carried Huanhuan to the bed. Xue Ling brought over hot water and rolled up his sleeves. “Don’t be afraid. Just like last time, leave everything to me. I’ll make sure the children and mother are safe.”
Huanhuan was in so much pain, but she couldn’t help but retort.
“You liar! I don’t believe you! Go get Mu Xiang. She has experience with childbirth. She should be able to help me!”
Xue Ling tried to defend himself. “You have to believe me. Didn’t I help you give birth safely last time?!”
Huanhuan slapped the bed and said angrily, “I was lucky the last time! If I’m not lucky enough this time, my children and I will die in your hands!”
Xue Ling was hurt after being looked down on.
He went out to find Mu Xiang to help.
Sang Ye clenched Huanhuan’s hand and tried to calm her down.
Huanhuan couldn’t take the pain anymore. She couldn’t care less about Sang Ye watching from the side and spoke to the system.
“Can you block out the pain for me?”
The system was helpless. “No way.”
“Why? It hurts so much!”
“Blocking the pain will cause you to be unable to judge the health of your body correctly. In your current condition, it’s not suitable to block the pain. I suggest you rely on your willpower to survive. I believe in you!”
Huanhuan’s mental state collapsed. “Boo-hoo!”
Sang Ye quickly comforted her. “Don’t cry, I’m here. I’ll always be with you.”
The system was also persuading her. “Do you remember the book I gave you? Come, breathe out with me. Breathe in, breathe out again…”
Huanhuan’s mind went blank from the pain. She couldn’t think of anything and could only breathe in and out according to the system’s rhythm.
The pain actually eased a lot.
At this moment, Feng Lan suddenly ran in and shouted at Sang Ye, “There are too many of them. We can’t hold on anymore!”
Sang Ye’s heart sank. He said to Huanhuan, “I’ll be back soon.”
“Mmhm.”
Sang Ye walked out of the room and spoke to Feng Lan for a while. He understood that the current situation was indeed very disadvantageous to the Rock Wolf Tribe.
Logically speaking, he had to go down the mountain to help, but Huanhuan was about to give birth.
He was worried about her.
Sang Ye returned to the room. Before he could speak, Huanhuan had already guessed his thoughts.
She took the initiative and said, “Go help them. I’ll be fine here.”
Sang Ye looked at her silently, still hesitating.
The corners of Huanhuan’s mouth twitched as she forced a weak smile. “You have to help them. Only by guarding the rock mountain can the children and I survive. Otherwise, all of us here will be doomed.”
Sang Ye finally made up his mind.
He kissed Huanhuan’s lips. “If the rock mountain can’t be defended, escape through the secret passage and find Bai Di and Shuang Yun.”
Huanhuan looked at him with tears in her eyes. “You have to be safe.”
“Okay.”
Sang Ye followed Feng Lan.
Huanhuan lay on the bed and held her stomach. Suddenly, it hurt even more.
Xue Ling finally arrived with Mu Xiang.
Mu Xiang pulled her legs apart and looked down to examine the situation. “You’re indeed about to give birth.”
