Chapter 706 - It’s Alive! (2/2)

Perhaps it was because it was frozen in the ice for too long. It wasn’t strong enough to win this battle of life and death.

Shao Xuan only lifted his hand when the creature’s energy had weakened and almost disappeared. The success rate of his test would be higher if the host of the body wasn’t rejecting his power. Now, the creature’s life force was almost nonexistent, so it naturally couldn’t fight back. This was the reason Shao Xuan waited.

Shao Xuan summoned the fire seed’s energy from within his body. This was similar to the time he marked Caesar. However, he used totemic power back then. Even though the totemic power originated from the fire seed, it was still a little different compared to the fire seed.

Now, Shao Xuan was directly using the power of the Flaming Horn’s fire seed that was merged with his body. He did not completely suppress the other energy in his body though. He let the energy of the fire seed influence that energy, so that energy was also charging up.

Sometimes, this special power within him was even more useful than the Flaming Horn’s fire seed. If the fire seed’s energy couldn’t make this work, perhaps he would consider trying that energy. Maybe the success rate would be higher.

The totemic lines surfaced to his skin. A flame appeared on Shao Xuan’s hand.

He placed his hand directly on top of the creature. He was slowly testing the creature with the flames. Soon, the entire creature was engulfed in the flames.

The flames burned through its skin and reached its muscles and entered every single bone.

The high active potential within the bones allowed this creature to rapidly absorb the energy of the flames.

Shao Xuan examined the creature with his special vision. The bones on this creature were indeed experiencing a change. The bones were slowly changing colours, and were burning bright red. The energy was seeping through.

At first, only those bones that still had bone marrow experienced the change, but very soon, Shao Xuan noticed that it didn’t stop there.

The frozen blood within the creature was melting, and Shao Xuan could feel the blood starting flowing within the creature. From what he observed, a few red lines started appearing. Those were the creature’s blood vessels. The red colour was the power of the fire seed. To some extent, this was actually another type of fire seed merging process, except their target and purpose were different.

Thump! Thump!

It was the sound of a heart pumping.

Shao Xuan was stunned when he heard this sound.

Logically, this should not be happening. This was a dead body. It was no different from the monster. The monster could still stand up and move around without its heart and other organs. This meant that the monster didn’t really need a heart.

However, the heart within this creature under his palm had actually started beating.

Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump!

At first it was very weak, but gradually, it grew stronger until more red thin lines appeared, especially in the area near the creature’s heart. Its heart was beating faster. A few moments ago, its heart was only beating twice every minute, but now, it was beating to a rhythm similar to breathing. The life force of this creature was growing stronger, as if it was breaking through the ice. All of these facts could only prove that this creature was waking up!

Shao Xuan did not stop there though. The pterosaur was not rejecting Shao Xuan’s actions. It did not reject the power of the fire seed.

Perhaps the creature knew that this was the only way for it to wake up.

Its frozen body was starting to warm up.

The wings that were wrapped tightly around it also started to move, making gentle creaking sounds.

Its hind claws also unraveled and slowly extended outwards.

Shao Xuan noticed that its hindlegs were thicker compared to a bat’s, and looked a lot stronger too.

Click! Click! Click!

The wings moved once again and slowly opened towards the side. Its head also protruded from under its wings.

Shao Xuan looked at the ancient creature that was slowly unravelling. It was no doubt a pterosaur.

However, this was a lot smaller in size compared to most of the pterosaurs Shao Xuan knew about.
