Chapter 293: Devour

When Wu Yue dripped blood into the stone bowl, the several people inside the cave smelled a strange fragrance that made anyone who smelled it feel invigorated.

The water added later diluted the blood, but the faint fragrance in the cave did not dissipate.

This feeling...

The Snow Tiger clan chief involuntarily drew a deep breath; this feeling of his whole body relaxing as if it had been combed through was something he had only felt when the shaman gave shamanic blessings.

Xuehu Wu and Feiying Wu stared in shock at the little female who was bandaging her wound; Xuehu Wu struggled to suppress his wild joy: 'Yue, is your shamanic power... is it healing?'

They had only sensed such a rich vital aura on the corpse of a dead tiger.

Wu Yue nodded: 'Mm.'

Then she slowly raised the stone bowl filled with blood water before her, extending it in different directions, as if probing for something.

When she pointed the stone bowl toward the direction where the eagle eggs were placed, the bowl seemed to be struck by something and shattered instantly.

Wu Yue hastily withdrew her hand, and then everyone saw something they could not believe.

That stone bowl seemed to be gnawed away by something, disappearing bit by bit, and during the process they even heard a clear chewing sound.

"It... actually... there really is something..."

Xuehu Wu looked at the stone bowl fragments left on the ground and felt a chill run through his body.

There was such a dangerous thing in the cave, yet he had not sensed it at all...

Wu Yue looked at the several eagle eggs in the corner and asked doubtfully: 'Shaman, what are these eggs?'

Xuehu Wu did not directly answer Wu Yue's question, but turned his head to look at Feiying Wu, only to see him nod.

Only then did he tell Wu Yue about the Feiying tribe's eagle eggs being unable to hatch chicks.

Wu Yue instantly frowned and looked at the three eagle eggs: 'May I go over and take a look?'

Feiying Wu nodded: 'Go ahead.'

The tiger has already been infused with shamanic power today, so the eagle eggs should be fine.

Wu Yue walked over, and the instant her palm touched the eggshell, the system's warning sounded again, even sharper than the first time: 'Warning! Dangerous insect detected, please eliminate it as soon as possible, host... Warning! Detected...'

The warnings came one after another, and Wu Yue's hand resting on the eggshell instantly withdrew.

Seeing this, Feiying Wu's heart tightened; he hurried forward, wrapping the eagle egg in black-green shamanic power to probe, and only then discovered that the vital force inside the egg was again beginning to drain.

"Tiger, it's starting again."

Hearing him say that, Xuehu Wu immediately rose and walked over, wrapping the eagle egg in azure shamanic power and slowly pouring his own shamanic power into it.

Only after feeling the vital force inside the eagle egg stabilize again did Feiying Wu look toward Wu Yue: 'What did you just do, and why did the vital force inside the egg start to drain again?'

Wu Yue gave a bitter smile: 'I didn't do anything; I just placed my palm on it, and the loss of vital force inside the egg had already begun when the stone bowl disappeared earlier.'

She pointed to the stone bowl on the ground, then gazed deeply at the spot where the three eagle eggs lay: 'Don't you two shamans find the sensation of shamanic power draining just now very familiar?'

Xuehu Wu and Feiying Wu are not fools; the instant Wu Yue's words fell, their minds conjured up the invisible thing that had just gnawed away the stone bowl.

Feiying Wu's face darkened: 'You mean the vital force inside the eagle eggs was devoured by that invisible thing?'
