Chapter 16 - The Mantis Stalks the Cicada, Unaware of the Oriole Behind

"Liu Xingchang!"

Liu Fuxue's hatred towards Liu Xingchang reached an unprecedented peak.

Qi Chen and Second Aunt fell silent.

No matter who it was, they would be exterminated because of something like that. They would all end up like her.

Looking at the furious Liu Fuxue, Second Aunt's hand turned into a blunt knife and struck the back of her neck, knocking the girl out.

Holding Liu Fuxue in her arms, Second Aunt took out a pear and a jade pendant that emitted a strange fragrance and threw them to Qi Chen.

"You egg demon, you saved Fuxue's life. I owe you a favor, take these as a gift of my thanks. This is a seven-hundred-year-old Crystal Pear and this is a jade pendant that contains one attack amounting to my full strength of the Second Realm."

Qi Chen swallowed the jade pendant and pear, expressing his gratitude.

Although Qi Chen didn't obtain the treasures in the girl's backpack, the fruits in the entire backpack were probably not as precious as this seven hundred year old crystal pear .

Seeing Qi Chen accept the thank-you gift, Second Mother's eyebrows slightly arched. She said, "See you again." Then, she flew away with Liu Fuxue.

Watching Liu Fuxue and the other two leave, Qi Chen also turned around and entered the forest.

Since Liu Xingchang had obtained the legacy token, he would definitely come to the Dark Forest to activate the legacy as soon as possible.

If he wanted to obtain benefits from this inheritance, Qi Chen had to raise his strength to level ten before it opened and complete his first evolution!

When he thought up to here, his eyes burned with flames as he charged towards the forest.

[Prompt: Eight hundred meters ahead, one level-seven demon beast has appeared!]

[Prompt: Eight hundred meters ahead, one level-eight demon beast has appeared!]

Qi Chen immediately rushed in that direction.

He hid in the bushes and watched the battle carefully.

The two sides fighting were a level-seven Bamboo Viper and a level-eight Rainbow Centipede.

Both of them were highly venomous, and they were only one level apart. No matter who it was, if they were bitten by the other party, they would only die.

Qi Chen looked up and noticed what the two sides were fighting over.

It was a fig.

The unripeness on the surface of the fruit skin was slowly turning dark red.

When the unripe green turned into a dark red color, the fig would ripen.

Figs were different from other precious fruits. Once they ripen, they would completely rot within two hours.

Therefore, it had to be plucked and eaten immediately after it ripened.

And when this fig ripened, it would be the time for the two demon beasts to decide the victor.

Time ticked by.

Finally, the originally scentless figs gave off an intoxicating fragrance.

It has matured!

The viper was the first to launch an attack. From the beginning, it had no intention of paying attention to the centipede. Its slender snake body leaped up from the ground and pounced towards the fig tree.

The centipede that was slightly slower also moved.

It opened its two huge venomous fangs and bit straight at the viper!

The viper sensed that something was wrong and also revealed her venomous teeth, turning around to bite!

Their slender bodies were entangled together.

After seeing the two demon beasts fighting, Qi Chen wasn't in a hurry to make a move. He continued to squat down and wait.

[Prompt: Eight hundred meters above, one level-seven demon beast has appeared!]

An azure blue bird-type demon beast swooped down from the sky and clawed at the fig hanging on the tree!

The opportunity was here!

Qi Chen's eyes flashed coldly as he brazenly attacked!

The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. He wanted to be that oriole!

Shadow Kill was activated and Qi Chen's figure turned into a black shadow . He charged towards the bird with a sharp force of energy.

In just an instant, the demon beast was beheaded by Qi Chen. Its fresh blood fell to the ground along with its corpse.

When the two demon beasts that were fighting on the ground realized that they were actually helping others, it was already too late. Both of them were poisoned by the other.

After killing the bird-type demon beast in one move, Qi Chen bit down on the fig.

However, he did not immediately escape.

Instead, he turned his gaze to the two dying demon beasts.

He was going to this oriole to the very end.

Qi Chen descended from the sky and smashed towards the two demon beasts while activating Immovable Mountain.

The viper and the centipede were both shocked and furious when they saw the golden egg smashing towards them.

They released each other and bit towards Qi Chen's eggshell!

Crack—

However, their venomous fangs were unable to make a dent in Qi Chen's defense. Instead, under the effect of the Armor of Thorns, their venomous fangs were shattered!

Qi Chen attacked again. He used Shadow Kill to slay the long snake and centipede at the same time. Then, he immediately escaped.

After finding a safe place, Qi Chen heaved a sigh of relief.

The moment he swallowed the fig, the system notifications kept ringing.

There were more than just a few demon beasts who had their eyes on this fig. There were also many demon beasts who had hid in the distance and watched.

Unfortunately, Qi Chen obtained it in the end.

He opened the status and looked at his attributes.

[Host: Qi Chen]

[Level: 6/10]

[Speed: 7.9/10]

[Defense: 7.9/10]

[Attack: 6/10]

[Enhancement Points: 3]

The proficiency of the skills was still in a mess and could not be displayed normally.

Qi Chen hesitated.

Now that his enhancement point was enough for him to level up again, should he use the system to level up, or should he control the energy in his body to level up?

After much consideration, he decided to use the system's points to level up.

Qi Chen looked inside his body and started to add more points.

As he added points to speed, the meridians that represented speed in his body rapidly expanded.

Qi Chen noticed that when he used the system to strengthen himself, a portion of the energy disappeared and did not merge with his meridians.

When it came to the defense attribute, Qi Chen did not use the system's help this time. He controlled the energy in his body on his own and split it into two, pouring a portion into his meridian.

A tearing sensation arose spontaneously as his meridians expanded.

Qi Chen forced himself to remain silent.

After it ended, he compared the two.

The defense meridian was slightly larger than the speed meridian. If one did not observe carefully, one would not even notice it.

However, the slightest difference could lead to a thousand miles of error.

If the difference of one level was so great, and the further one progressed, the greater the difference would be.

Qi Chen checked his status again.

[Level: 6/10]

[Speed: 8.9/10]

[Defense: 7.9/10]

[Attack: 6/10]

[Enhancement Points: 0]

Seeing this scene, Qi Chen was silent for a moment. He controlled the remaining energy in his body and forced them towards the attack meridian.

The pain this time was incomparable to the previous pain.

Every nerve in his body seemed to be pulled willfully by someone.

Qi Chen's egg body shook violently in the cave he was in.

Cracks spread across the eggshell.

And formed an incomparably mysterious pattern.
