Nie Tian looked at the three cubs in front of him and was stunned for a few seconds, unable to react for a long time.
He never thought that there would be three Three-Horned Draconic Bull cubs in the cave.
At this moment, the three cubs were tightly curled up together, and there was even a bloody smell on their bodies. Their auras were very weak, as though they could disappear at any time.
After a long time, Nie Tian finally calmed down and let out a deep breath. He understood everything.
He finally knew why the Three-Horned Draconic Bull begged for death and had a pleading look in its eyes before it died.
The Three-Horned Draconic Bull obviously wanted to use its own death in exchange for the lives of its three cubs.
It was willing to sacrifice itself and use its life as the price for Nie Tian to let go of its three cubs.
The Three-Horned Draconic Bull was severely injured. It must have known that even if it continued to persevere, it would not be Nie Tian's match, so it simply died.
Nie Tian never thought that the truth behind the Three-Horned Draconic Bull's death wish was actually like this.
He couldn't help but regret killing the Three-Horned Draconic Bull.
At this moment, he also understood why the docile Three-Horned Draconic Bull would suddenly go berserk. It was to protect its cubs.
"That Three-Horned Draconic Bull, why was it so heavily injured?" Nie Tian pondered. He still couldn't understand who injured the Three-Horned Draconic Bull.
"The Three-Horned Draconic Bull's injury was caused by itself." At this moment, Fat Cat's voice sounded, and his tone was also a little solemn.
"Caused by itself?" Nie Tian was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Fat Cat meant.
Fat Cat's figure appeared, and he looked at the three Draconic Bull cubs and said, "These three little guys were born prematurely. That Three-Horned Draconic Bull tore its abdomen open and gave birth to three cubs."
"This …" Nie Tian was stunned and couldn't speak for a long time.
No wonder the three little guys in front of him had a bloody smell on them.
"Why did the mother Draconic Bull do that?" Nie Tian asked in shock after he calmed down a little.
He never thought that the Three-Horned Draconic Bull would tear its abdomen open and give birth to three cubs.
But he did not understand why the triceratops bull would do this.
"Out of these three, one of them is abnormal. If it doesn't give birth in advance, it will definitely die," Fat Cat said in a deep voice as he stared at one of the calves.
"It's not normal?" Nie Tian was stunned for a moment. Then, he looked carefully and finally found the abnormality.
Among the three little Draco-Bulls, two of them had three meatball-like protrusions on top of their heads, which should be three small horns.
As for the other one, there were nine meatball-like protrusions on its head.
"This?" Nie Tian frowned and his expression froze.
Triceratops, of course, should have three horns.
However, one of the little Dragon Bulls actually had nine horns. What was going on?
"This should be a kind of atavistic mutation," Fat Cat's eyes narrowed as he said in a deep voice.
However, he didn't want to explain too much. Instead, he looked at Nie Tian and said, "Nie Tian, the auras of these three little guys are very weak. Help them stabilize their auras first."
"Okay." Nie Tian nodded heavily. Then, he released the power of the vein of the earth and slowly transferred it to the three little Draco-Bulls.
He felt a little guilty about what happened to the mother Draco-Bull.
If he had known that there were three calves behind the triceratops bull, he would definitely not have killed them.
But now, it was too late to say anything.
After a while, the three little Draco-Bulls gradually stabilized their auras and slowly opened their eyes. The first face that they saw was Nie Tian.
The three little guys were very lively. They jumped up and down, wanting to pounce on Nie Tian.
Nie Tian smiled bitterly and said, "Little guys, I'm the one who killed your mother."
Hearing Nie Tian's words, Fat Cat comforted him, "Nie Tian, even if you didn't make a move just now, that triceratops bull would have died for sure.
"She used her own life to exchange for the lives of her three children. This is her own choice.
"You just need to take good care of the three little guys. Don't let her down."
Nie Tian let out a deep breath and said with a bitter smile, "I'll protect the three of them."
Since it had already happened, there was no point in regretting it.
Moreover, the situation just now was actually a fight to the death.
If Nie Tian's strength was slightly weaker, he would have died in the hands of the triceratops bull.
The triceratops bull took the initiative to seek death. This was also her own choice.
The only thing Nie Tian could do now was to respect this choice.
"Xiao Fei, bring the three little guys into the Nine Extremities." Nie Tian calmed down and said lightly.
Fat Cat agreed and brought the three little Draco-Bulls into the Nine Extremities.
"The strength of the Three Horned Draco-Bulls is really too strong. That mother Draco-Bull from before was actually able to injure me despite being so heavily injured. It's really terrifying." Recalling the battle just now, Nie Tian couldn't help but frown as he muttered.
The combat strength of the triceratops bull was indeed beyond Nie Tian's expectations.
Even a heavily injured triceratops bull was still troublesome for Nie Tian.
It was hard to imagine how terrifying the combat strength of a triceratops bull at its peak would be if it went berserk.
"And that mutated little Draco-Bull actually has nine horns. When it grows up, it will probably be even scarier than the average triceratops bull. "Nie Tian suddenly thought of the mutated little Draco-Bull and couldn't help but smile.
The three little Draco-Bulls were just newborns. Who knew how long it would take for them to grow up.
Nie Tian shook his head and walked out of the cave.
He came to the Sea Valley and landed on the carcass of the triceratops bull to retrieve its beast core.
Since the triceratops bull was already dead, the beast core should not be wasted.
Nie Tian got ready to leave after getting the beast core of the triceratops bull.
"Hmm?" However, at this moment, his eyes suddenly narrowed as if he had discovered something.
"It's here!" At the same time, a voice came from outside the Dragon Fish Valley. A martial artist pointed at the Dragon Fish Valley and said.
If Nie Tian was here, he would be able to tell with a glance that the martial artist who spoke was Yuan Wei, the Hunter from the fourth main city whom he had saved previously.
At this moment, Yuan Wei had returned, but he was not alone.
There were more than ten hunters beside him. Two of them were familiar to Nie Tian. They were Yuan Lie from the fourth main city and Bai Fengming from the second main city.
"Yuan Wei, are you sure there's a heavily injured triceratops bull here?" Yuan Lie looked at the Dragon Fish Valley and asked coldly.
The reason why he appeared here was that Yuan Wei told him there was a heavily injured triceratops bull here.
However, he did not sense the aura of the triceratops bull.
"Young Master, the triceratops bull is in the Sea Valley. You will know once you go in and take a look," Yuan Wei said respectfully and carefully.
"There's no need to look. The triceratops bull is already dead." However, at this moment, a voice came from the Sea Valley and a figure stepped out.
