Chapter 114: Heartlake Mutation and Newborn Birth!
"Hey, hey, see what this is?"
"Let's go, I'm in for a treat today!"
The pocket in his hand swayed, and Miro's head swayed to the same rhythm, full of joy.
Returning to Ascatra with the two archbishops, the Beast Adventure Party was immediately rewarded handsomely by the Adventure Guild - a pocket containing a hundred [Dan Towers], one for each person.
Miró, who had been paid, became excited and asked everyone to have a good meal, which is the common personality of the halfling race, kind and cheerful, generous and willing to share. Such a personality is perfect for making friends, and it's no wonder that Miro was able to become the leader of the party.
Miro's proposal immediately cheered, but Miro, who wanted to go to the Gem District Hotel to spend money, was caught by the other members of the adventure party and finally chose the [Five Pots of Wine] Hotel.
After cheering and hustle for most of the night, the [Five Pots of Wine] Hotel finally quieted down again, and all the expenses were only one-fifth of Miró's harvest this time, twenty [Dan Towers].
The hustle and bustle of the night didn't bother Ron, he was too small to even compare to the kobolds, and most of the eyes of the noisy travelers in the tavern were focused on Kane the Minotaur and Hogg the Gnoll, so when the two behemoths collapsed due to drunkenness, Ron only drank half a glass of moonlight wine.
However, Ron also made good on his promise to Broken Tooth, and a whole [Five Pots of Wine] The freshest Esmir salmon and a large piece of calf shoulder blade made Broken Tooth's round cat's eyes narrow, and finally dragged his round belly into the room with difficulty.
"It's finally quiet!"
Closing the door at Ron's command, the big cat struggled several times to climb into the bed and clump comfortably, and then Ron comfortably leaned on the slightly undulating belly of the broken tooth.
But Ron had no intention of sleeping, on the contrary, half a glass of moonlight wine made him more awake.
"Level up!"
Concentrating slightly, Ron's consciousness immediately fell into the small island of Heart Lake, just called out the attribute panel to take a look, and Ron immediately issued a command.
"Upgrade successful!"

............
This is the first increase in Ron's career level after the heart space was transformed into a small island in the heart lake, compared to the last upgrade, the attributes of the hunter profession have not changed after being upgraded to the third level, after all, there will be a little more valuable free attribute points every two levels, and Ron's hunter talent points are a little more, and the remaining skill points are six points more, and there is also one more hunter skill [Wild Fury].
However, just because the properties haven't changed doesn't mean there haven't been changes elsewhere!
A trace of silver-white light emitted from the periphery of the small island of the heart lake, and the lake water along the lake was soaked into a silver-white thick slurry, which had the properties of a liquid, fluctuating with the rippling water of the heart lake, and the impregnation effect was still continuing, Ron observed for a long time, and found that the silver lake water continued to expand outward, but the speed was extremely slow, and it only expanded outward every few hours.
After observing it again for a long time, Ron found that every expansion of the silver lake water was at the cost of the disappearance of the essence of life that Ron worked hard to obtain, although it was only 1 point each time, but this is the small island of the heart lake transformed by the heart space, inheriting the characteristics of the heart space: the time is extended ten times that of the periphery.
This also means that in the real world, every few minutes Ron has 1 less Essence of Life!
Is this a good thing or a bad thing?
Ron couldn't tell, because what happened to him, whether it was a time traveler or a hunter, or a moonlight miracle, couldn't be explained by science.
However, although it has just been upgraded, there are still a lot of life essences left, which is enough for the expansion of the silver lake on the shore of the heart lake for several days, but with the drag of the heart lake, Ron will definitely need to add some concerns to the next upgrade, and choose to improve himself after ensuring the expansion needs of the heart lake.
Because, Ron had no idea what would happen if there wasn't enough Life Essence to provide Heartlake!
............
It's only been a dozen days since Ron left the moonlight rat town, but the female moonlight rats who were already pregnant have all begun to give birth.
In accordance with Ron's orders before leaving, the acting leader, Scarface and Longbeard, had each female moonlight rat who was about to give birth wait by the moon well to give birth, so that the moonlight rat cubs could be baptized in the moon well as soon as they were born.
As a small beast native to Faerun, the moonlight mouse has a strong reproductive ability, although it is worse than the mouse, but when it is a one-year-old adult and has sufficient nutrition, it can still be guaranteed to have three litters a year, and four to five cubs in one litter.
However, I don't know if it's because of the change in food structure or the influence of some mysterious factors, the pregnancy cycle of the female moonshine rat this time is slightly longer than before, and it can be seen from the fetal activity that the number of fetuses in the womb of the female moonshine rat is also less than in the past, generally only two, three is rare, not to mention four to five as in the past.
However, again, the cubs are noticeably much larger than usual.
"Squeak!"
There were six female moonlight rats closest to the penny, divided into two rows and obliquely around the moon well, and in a sharp chirp, the first female moonlight rat lying on the right side had a violent spasm in her abdomen, and two strong cubs slipped out from under her abdomen, trying to move their limbs, trying to break free from the shackles of the soft skin!
The mother's reaction, the female moonlight rat struggled to get up, tore off the wet membrane, and let the two little ones breathe the first breath from the outside world, and then the two pairs of rat paws picked up the two cubs separately and slowly soaked in the spring water of the moon well.
Windless automatically, the moon shadow in the moon well shattered, swaying and exuding the breath of the moon, while the broken moon shadow slowly penetrated into the body of the newborn cub.
And after about ten seconds, the moon well returned to calm, and the long beard and scarface lifted the newborn cub out of the moon well and lifted it high!
"Holy Moon, Ulla!"
"Great Patriarch, Ulla!"
"Moonlight Mouse, Ula!"
