Arcanine let out a deep growl, its limbs bulging with muscles, and charged toward a precipice deep in the canyon.
After crossing a rugged, rocky beach, a deafening roar grew louder as the air became increasingly humid.
A huge, silvery-white waterfall cascades down from a cliff hundreds of meters high, crashing into a deep pool below and creating a misty spray.
The roar of the water was so loud it almost tore one's eardrums.
The system's guidance ultimately settled behind this enormous water curtain.
A hidden cave perfectly concealed by a waterfall, making it absolutely impossible to discover easily.
Lin Che jumped off the back of the Growlithe, braving the icy water, and struggled to push aside the thick curtain of water before stepping into the cave.
The roaring sound stopped abruptly.
The world fell silent instantly.
An ancient scent, a mixture of dampness, dust, and decay, wafted over him, making his nasal passages feel dry.
The cave was much drier and deeper than I had imagined.
He switched on his tactical flashlight, and a blinding beam of light pierced the darkness, illuminating the road ahead.
The cave walls were covered with signs of weathering, and underfoot was a thick layer of dust that had accumulated over countless years.
He walked step by step toward the deepest part of the cave.
At the end of the beam of light, an enormous, almost exaggerated outline gradually came into focus.
That was a bird's nest.
A colossal bird's nest, constructed in a brutal yet precise manner from countless thick, dry branches, some even as thick as a human arm.
It had long been abandoned, and the edges of the nest were covered with spider webs and moss, clearly indicating that no owner had returned for many years.
Lin Che's breathing unconsciously slowed down the moment he saw the bird's nest.
His gaze was firmly drawn to the thing in the center of the nest.
In the very center of the empty, dusty nest.
A fairy egg.
A grayish-white elf egg, its surface covered with fine cracks and thick dust, lay there all alone.
It looked lifeless, indistinguishable from the surrounding rocks, having long since lost all signs of life.
No.
wrong.
Lin Che's pupils contracted slightly.
In his vision, above that lifeless eggshell, a faint, firefly-like halo of life lingered, as if it might be extinguished at any moment.
that's it!
The life force indicated by the system originated from this seemingly petrified elf egg!
His heart began to pound uncontrollably, the sound of his blood surging clearly audible in the silent cave.
Lin Che took a step forward and slowly walked forward.
Every step I took was punctuated by the thunderous beat of my own heart.
He stood at the edge of the enormous bird's nest, looking down at the lonely elf egg, his Adam's apple bobbing as he swallowed hard.
He focused his mind and silently recited the name of the sleeping target in his heart.
Open the Eye of Truth!
next second.
A virtual panel, emitting a ghostly blue light, that only he could see, suddenly unfolded above the sprite egg!
The first line of text on the panel made Lin Che's breath catch in his throat!
【Elf Egg: Little Hawk-Eagle】
His gaze was fixed on the ground, and his heart was pounding so hard it felt like it would burst out of his chest!
[Status: Faint signs of life (abandoned for over five years)]
Five years!
This egg had been abandoned for a full five years!
Lin Che's mind was in a whirl. He couldn't even imagine what kind of tenacious vitality could allow an abandoned egg to struggle for two thousand days and nights without any energy supply!
His gaze fell on the third line.
【Trait: Unyielding (Attack power increases significantly when an opponent reduces an opponent's abilities)】
Superb features!
Lin Che's fist clenched unconsciously at his side, his knuckles turning white from the excessive force.
His gaze finally fell on the last column, the one that decided everything!
[Potential Assessment: Top-Tier!]
King level!
These two large, golden characters, like a thunderclap from the heavens, exploded deep within his mind!
Lin Che felt his brain completely shut down in that instant, leaving him in a blank state.
His blood seemed to freeze at that moment, and even his pupils contracted violently into dangerous pinpoints due to extreme shock!
King level!
He got it.
He understood everything instantly!
This is absolutely the last bloodline left behind by a mighty eagle with unparalleled strength, perhaps even one that has already fallen!
It is its orphan!
For some unknown and tragic reason, this egg, which should have inherited the glory of its father, failed to hatch.
But it didn't give up.
With its pride and indomitable spirit that came from the depths of its blood, it stubbornly resisted the long years of five years in this isolated cave with the faintest flame of life!
This is not an egg.
This is a miracle of life that has been dormant for five years!
Lin Che's chest heaved violently. He slowly reached out his hand, his movements extremely gentle, as if afraid that even the slightest tremor would disturb this fragile yet magnificent life.
His fingertips brushed away the thick dust from the eggshell.
Beneath that cold, rough touch was a faint, almost imperceptible pulse.
a bit.
Another click.
That's it responding.
With the gentlest of movements, Lin Che held the miracle egg, which carried the last hope of a race, in his hands.
He took out the top-of-the-line constant-temperature incubator that he had prepared beforehand from his backpack.
Open the box and carefully and tenderly place the Pokémon egg into the soft groove.
He set the optimal temperature and humidity and started the incubation process.
"Om-"
The incubator emitted a soft hum, and a gentle, warm light shone, enveloping the entire elf egg.
Through the transparent lid, Lin Che's gaze was focused and intense.
He seemed to have transcended the barriers of time and glimpsed the near future.
A proud and arrogant eagle, looking down upon the world, soars through the heavens for him.
That golden beak, those sharp claws, that imposing figure inlaid with jewels of flight—these will become the sharpest blade in his hand!
Chapter 47 Return and Incubation, the Roommates' Shock! Preparing for Battle, a Challenge from the Senior!
When Lin Che pushed open the door to dormitory 401, a unique smell, a mixture of instant noodle flavoring and overheated electronic components, along with fervent battle cries, rushed towards him.
Inside the dormitory, the rapid clicking of keyboards and mice poured out like a torrential downpour.
"Zhang Wei, you old bastard! Using 'Hold on' again! What else can you do besides disgust people, you swamp king?!"
"Tactics".
The light from the computer screen clearly illuminated Chen Hao's flushed face. He was engaged in a fierce battle with Zhang Wei on the school's online gaming platform, making his final push for the upcoming freshman ranking competition.
Lin Che's appearance brought this fierce battlefield to a standstill.
Chen Hao ripped off his headphones, the veins on his neck still bulging. He sprang up from his gaming chair and rushed to Lin Che.
"Brother Che, you're finally back! Where have you been these past two days? You didn't reply to my messages, it was like you vanished into thin air."
His gaze swept over Lin Che from head to toe, then fixed on the high-tech, silver-white incubator in Lin Che's hand.
The cabinet is made of a lightweight alloy with a matte metallic finish, and a small LCD screen on the side displays soft green numbers.
"Hey? Brother Che, what you're holding is... a temperature incubator for a Pokémon egg?"
"Ah."
Lin Che nodded, his voice carrying a hint of weariness from the long journey.
He walked straight to his desk, carefully placed the incubator down, and made a steady, soft sound when the incubator touched the table.
This action seems to carry a certain sense of ritual.
"What kind of elf egg is this? Where did you get it? This box looks incredibly high-end. Is it some kind of hidden perk from the school?"
Chen Hao's curiosity was completely ignited. Like a cat that had smelled fish, he came closer, his head almost touching the incubator.
