"Where did this bastard come from! Get lost!"
When he saw an egg that came out of nowhere collide with him, the young man was enraged, and he released his aura before kicking the egg.
"You're the bastard! Your whole family are bastards!"
Qi Chen was also furious as he executed Shadow Ambush. Five waves of energy surrounded his body and collided with the kick that was aimed at him.
"Ah—!!!"
The young man's right leg kicked the wind energy as though he was kicking a circular saw.
The devastating power completely cut off his right foot, and blood splattered everywhere!
Before the young man could cry out in pain, Qi Chen swept past him and slit his neck.
The young man's eyes bulged as he clutched his neck and fell to the ground with a look of disbelief.
His eyes gradually lost their luster.
"Young Master!"
The two guards were stunned.
They never would have thought that this egg demon was actually so powerful, killing their young master in a single exchange.
"How dare you kill my young master, egg demon! I will chop you into pieces today!"
One of the guards snapped out of his daze and bellowed furiously. He drew his saber and slashed at Qi Chen.
Qi Chen did not move and a layer of weak golden light shone on his body.
Skill: Immovable Mountain, activate!
Talent: Armor of Thorns, activate!
The guard slashed with his saber and felt a huge force rushing into his veins along the saber!
His expression changed drastically.
"Pfft—!"
He spat out a mouthful of blood.
The guard took a few steps back and stabilized himself. His left hand covered his severed tendons on his trembling right hand while he looked at the egg in front of him in shock.
How was this possible?
Even the dragon race, which stood at the peak of the demon beast races, was only at the level of a level-three demon beast before it broke out of its shell. On the other hand, he was already a level-seven martial artist.
He slashed with his saber, but nothing happened. Instead, his saber shattered and his hand was crippled.
What kind of demon beast was this?
"My turn."
Qi Chen sneered and launched another Shadow Ambush, leaving behind only an afterimage.
"Not good!"
Although the guard could not see the egg demon, he could clearly see how the young master died.
This egg demon was most likely aiming for his throat!
He hurriedly suppressed the shock in his heart and threw a punch in front of himself.
Qi Chen used Shadow Ambush again.
The attack power that was infinitely close to level six was enough to kill the person in front of him.
Blood splattered as the guard's hand and head were chopped off by Qi Chen in one move!
[Beep! The host has killed a level-seven mutated beast, obtained 3 enhancement points!]
[Beep! The conditions for activating the technique have been met. Please take note of the stats!]
Just as Qi Chen was about to attack another guard, the system's voice sounded in his mind.
Only then did he remember that his enhancement points were already full, and the conditions for activating the technique had also been met.
Other than gaining some skill proficiency, there were no other benefits to killing the next guard.
Just as he was hesitating, the guard carried the young man's corpse and ran far away.
"Consider yourself lucky."
Qi Chen gave up the thought of chasing after him.
"Thank you. You saved my life again."
Liu Fuxue walked up to Qi Chen and squatted down. She used a handkerchief to wipe the blood on Qi Chen's eggshell.
Her face was covered in mud, but it could not hide her exquisite features.
What's the use of thanking me? We can't communicate anyway.
Qi Chen jumped forward and ignored Liu Fuxue.
He was in a very good mood now. Not only had he activated his technique, but he had also accumulated enough enhancement points for another level.
Furthermore, due to the repeated usage of Shadow Ambush and Immovable Mountain, his proficiency had also increased significantly.
It was especially so for Immovable Mountain. With just a little more proficiency, he would be able to upgrade it to the second stage.
"Do you like to eat aged treasures?"
Liu Fuxue caught up and took out a fragrant fruit from her backpack. She smiled and said, "I have one here. I'll give you one as a reward."
Qi Chen was overjoyed when he heard this. He turned around and bit the fruit in Liu Fuxue's hand.
But he didn't eat it.
Now that his enhancement points had reached the upper limit, he had to level up and use the enhancement points before eating this fruit.
Liu Fuxue looked at the joy exuding from Qi Chen's body and couldn't help but chuckle.
What an easily satisfied little fellow.
Her family was ruined and she, who fell from heaven to hell overnight, was worse than an egg.
She raised her head and looked at the forest that occasionally let out a few beast roars. Her eyes were filled with fatigue and confusion.
There were pursuers outside, and danger lurked everywhere in this Dark Forest.
Where should she go?
How could she survive and avenge her family?
Qi Chen could tell that Liu Fuxue was at a loss. He planned to help her until the end and send her to another human town.
Of course, this wasn't free. Liu Fuxue needed to trade with other treasures.
Qi Chen bit the bottom of Liu Fuxue's pants and tugged, attracting the other party's attention.
He made some gestures and jumped a few times on the spot. He bumped Liu Fuxue's feet and then jumped up high to hit the backpack behind Liu Fuxue.
"You mean you want to protect me if I give you the treasures in my backpack?"
Liu Fuxue hesitated.
Qi Chen immediately swayed back and forth.
There should still be quite a lot of treasures in her backpack. Compared to killing demon beasts, eating treasures and leveling up was safer and easier.
Furthermore, Qi Chen had the map provided by the system. It had a radius of seven hundred meters. After leveling up, it was a distance of eight hundred meters. Wouldn't protecting a young girl in this forest be a piece of cake.
Liu Fuxue held Qi Chen up.
"If you can really protect me, you can have all these treasures."
At this time, Liu Fuxue had reached the point of no return. It was fine to trust this egg demon in front of her.
Hahaha! I've struck gold!
Qi Chen was overjoyed. Obtaining these treasures could save him a lot of effort in killing demon beasts.
"Since we're partners now, shall I give you a name? I can't keep calling you Egg Demon, but calling you Little Egg is a little strange…"
"You're the one called Little Egg. I have a name. I'm Qi Chen!"
Qi Chen said angrily.
Unfortunately, Liu Fuxue didn't understand. She continued, "Your eggshell patterns are so weird, like tiger stripes. Why don't I call you Little Tiger?"
"You might as well call me the Tiger Emperor of Spring."
Qi Chen rolled his eyes.
One egg and one human walked through the forest.
Qi Chen needed to find a safe place for Liu Fuxue to rest.
[Prompt: Seven hundred meters behind, three level-nine mutated beasts have appeared!]
[Prompt: Seven hundred meters to the right, one level-ten mutated beast has appeared!]
[Prompt: Seven hundred meters to the left, five level-eight mutated beasts have appeared!]
The system's voice echoed in Qi Chen's mind, causing his expression to change drastically.
He was actually surrounded!
