In the silent night, the wind was blowing wildly.
Terrifying footsteps and dreadful roars could be heard from the mountain.
In a cave on the surroundings of a mountain.
There was a large nest made from tree branches and dry grass. At this moment, four eggs were quietly lying in the grass nest.
The surface of these eggs were smooth, round, and flowing with a warm luster.
However, one of the eggs was different from the other eggs. Its eggshell was a little rough, and its size was larger than the other three eggs.
At that moment, the egg seemed to be trembling non-stop.
Where are my hands? Where are my feet?
How did I become an egg?
Qi Chen felt like he was going crazy.
He did not expect to transmigrate, and to become an egg at that.
Was there anything more despairing than this?
Transmigrated into an egg and relying on the remaining three eggs through thick and thin.
Based on the additional memories in his mind, Qi Chen had some understanding of this world.
Spiritual energy had revived; heaven and earth had changed greatly, and all things started to continuously evolve and become stronger.
Transmigrating to such an era, being born as an egg, it was simply impossible to survive!
Just as Qi Chen was about to fall into despair, a screen that only Qi Chen could see appeared in front of him. At the same time, an electronic voice sounded in his mind.
[System activating…]
[Host: Qi Chen]
[Level: 0/10]
[Evolution: An ordinary demon beast egg]
[Talent: Armor of Thorns (When attacked, you can reflect 50% of damage back to the attacker)]
[Speed: 0.1/10]
[Defense: 0.1/10]
[Attack: 0.1/10]
[Enhancement Points: 0]
[Skill: Level 0, unable to activate skill]
What was that?
Qi Chen calmed down and started thinking.
"What use are you?"
[…]
"Can you change me into a human?"
[…]
"Can you get me out of here?"
[…]
"What a scam!"
Qi Chen broke down again. What kind of bullsh*t system is this? I'm just an egg. How can I be enhanced?
Enhanced into a century egg? Braised eggs? Or salted duck eggs?
At this moment, a row of tiny black dots slowly crawled up along the dry grass.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a row of ants.
They seemed to want to crawl onto Qi Chen's body.
"Even all of you want to bully me?"
Qi Chen sounded unfriendly.
He immediately began to roll.
[Beep! The host has killed ten unevolved ants, obtained 0.1 enhancement points!]
Hearing this voice, Qi Chen's heart trembled.
Enhancement points?
He opened the system interface and saw that there was indeed a "+" sign behind his attributes.
This meant that he could use enhancement points to increase his attributes.
Qi Chen concentrated his consciousness and added this 0.1 enhancement point to his defense.
He felt a surge of power changing his body.
The eggshell on his body became even sturdier. Vaguely, lines of patterns seemed to appear on the eggshell, making him look extremely mysterious.
Enhancement points can improve my body!
Qi Chen was a little excited.
After transmigrating, he was indeed not used to it. He had a feeling of worry and loss, but after knowing that he could become stronger, this feeling of uncertainty disappeared.
Then what he had to do next was to evolve faster and raise his cultivation quickly. Only then would he be able to stand firm in this dog-eat-dog era.
At this thought, Qi Chen shifted his gaze to the three eggs beside him.
Qi Chen took a deep breath. If he had an expression right now, his expression would probably be filled with pity and sorrow.
"This era is cruel, cold, and dirty."
"I can't bear to see all of you be tainted by the filth of this era. Why don't you fulfill my wish? I will live well for all of you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Chen, who was still lamenting about the state of the universe a second ago, rolled his egg body and slammed into the other eggs.
Pak!
Egg: Damn!
[Beep! The host has broke three unhatched demon beast eggs, obtained 0.9 enhancement points!]
Without hesitation, Qi Chen decisively added all the enhancement points to his defense.
Attack, speed, and so on could be added later on. If there was no defense, his eggshell would shatter upon any impact!
[Detected that one of the host's attributes has reached 1 point. The map scan function can be activated. Do you wish to activate it?]
"Activate!"
[Scanning the map, downloading information 10%… 50%… 100%!]
Some unfamiliar information appeared in Qi Chen's mind.
This information contained data regarding this forest.
It turned out that this place was called the Dark Forest. There were many demon beasts residing here.
[Prompt: One hundred and fifty meters ahead, one level-one demon beast has appeared!]
Qi Chen looked at his status. Even though his defense had increased to 1, his level was still 0.
As for the demon beast on the map, it was at level one. It was stronger than him!
Qi Chen examined his own body. He was only the size of a hand.
Although he was already very big for an egg, still, he was not even big enough for a demon beast to fill the gap between its teeth.
He thought that his life was more important so it was better to leave this cave as soon as possible.
Qi Chen shook his body, rolled out of the grass nest, and began hopping forward.
However, without legs, this speed was really worrying. Qi Chen was almost moved to tears.
After crawling for a while, he finally advanced about ten meters.
[Prompt: A level-one demon beast is approaching quickly. Please take note to hide!]
When he heard this voice, Qi Chen shuddered. Was it here to eat him?
In this Dark Forest, the big fish eats the small fish, the strong eat the weak, it is natural.
For someone like him who hadn't even hatched yet, he was as good as food.
He then looked at the status in his vision, which was flashing with a dangerous red light.
That demon beast was already very close! Even if the other party did not eat him, it would still kill him.
This was too unbearable. He had clearly discovered the danger ahead of time, but he could only watch helplessly as the danger approached. There was no way to avoid it!
How did I transmigrate into this thing!
"Roar!"
An excited roar came from behind Qi Chen.
Qi Chen instinctively stood still.
Then he was picked up.
Oh no! Everything is over!
[Beep! Congratulations to the host for triggering the first mission. Devour a level-one demon beast. Reward: Devour, synthesize, and evolve!]
The system's words made Qi Chen break down.
Devour a level-one demon beast? It was already good enough if he was not devoured!
[Prompt: Two hundred meters ahead, one level-one demon beast has appeared!]
[Prompt: A level-one demon beast is approaching quickly. Please take note to hide!]
Another demon beast appeared, and the demon beast that was holding him in its mouth stopped moving.
No way? Another one?
Qi Chen could not hold in anymore.
