Chapter 8 - Something very strong creature

Well let's pretend we didn't see it, clearly, both of them have terrible power, how can they have a skill stronger than me?

On the one hand, I'm jealous of them, on the other hand, maybe it's my luck because I don't have to always look after them, which means I don't have to bear so much of a burden right now.

that's clear for now is I'll—, if you look around, Ruby is always walking near me, she's like clinging to me whenever I go anywhere, I've been ignoring her all this time but… forget it, I'm not going to talk about that anymore.

The ground shook—the tremors were getting stronger and stronger every second, I felt something coming towards us, they were flocking, I saw it, there were many creatures, the feathers were black, I could see the beak was yellow, what is a Chicken? No, it's chicken.

But his way of walking is unusual, I've never seen a chicken run that fast, even his footsteps left traces and the size of his feet was a little bigger than usual.

The chickens pecked at the ground, I saw some creatures I knew ended up in their beaks, it was scorpions, mice, snakes, some of those creatures we've encountered.

They won't eat the ants, right? Maybe...no way, as long as we don't emit any energy he won't notice us, hahaha....right?

Mep mep mep

3 chickens surrounded us, dammit, this is the worst, in one hit we will die, that's for sure. I saw the rat we fought with die in one hit by its beak.

"Shit... fine, calm down... calm down there's no need to be afraid, maybe he's not as strong as I thought, let's slowly take a look at his [Apprasial] status"

「 Name : None

Race : Chicken Cave

Level : 27

Strength : 230

Description : Very sensitive to Mana, avoids individual battles, and always moves in groups as well as when fighting, has a keen eye for small things, avoids strong opponents who cannot be defeated by numbers. 」

...so bad, just one of them could have killed us.

One of the chickens, slammed its beak on me, it was right above my head, I reflexively closed my eyes, I thought I was dead, but the peck stopped a few cm above me.

"Brother! Are you okay?"

What's that? I mean the thing that protects us?

" Answer. It's an Aegis skill, a protective magic that can withstand physical attacks

That's what Ruby did, she made a strong barrier, Woah! It was really great, even its beak which was as strong as steel couldn't scratch it.

In the end, they ran away, we were lucky, no. Thanks to Ruby we survived, with this we Sa—

Ptokk! Ptok! Ptok!!

Those three Chickens came with more chickens behind them, that's more than 10 Chickens, but I guess it'll be a waste they can never destroy this Barrier~

Crack

What's that?!!! I looked up, there was a crack...we're dead! The barrier shattered from being hit by several chicken beaks in succession and was unable to withstand such consecutive attacks.

I managed to dodge the first attack, but not the second, the beak hit me, I ended up in its beak, lucky I wasn't eaten by it right away.

「 Health Alert below 10% 」

Unlucky! If it continues like this...

"Older Sister!"

"Am I going to be food??"

Ruby and Meshi ended up just like me, they ended up in the beaks of those damn chickens… not long after, the chickens stopped, they froze, looking back.

I could feel the trembling of their frightening bodies from their beaks until they finally let go of my body, Ruby and Meshi, the chickens went forward, they left us without even looking back, I take it as luck.

However, I was too quick to conclude, that something appeared in front of us, she moved like a shadow, and her aura was intimidating, I couldn't even move when I saw her, I looked behind to confirm where Ruby and Meshi were, they passed out unconscious.

Most likely they could not withstand the pressure from the creature, the creature approached, I saw it clearly, she was in front of me. It's like she's made of shadow and form...want to be seen from after all she is a Lizard.

But there are some odd parts, she has 4 black wings, and only 1 eye is open, while the other eye is closed, covered by a claw wound that looks painful.

"What is this creature..."

The creature brought its face close to mine, I had goosebumps, goosebumps with fear, the pressure was so strong, I couldn't hold it in and almost lost my consciousness.

The lizard breathed on me, looked around, and just left us, I didn't even get to see its status because of fear.

She was really a nightmare to me, it was the worst thing I've ever felt, the creature disappeared quickly, I think the chickens felt his strong presence so they ran away, it was the right thing to do, otherwise the chickens would have been roast chickens by now.

But when I looked the way he was going, I saw an egg, it was a big egg, it was at least 2x bigger than the chickens, I think that intimidating creature just now is the owner of this Egg, well let's ignore it, I don't want to get involved with that creature.

Forget it, forget it, forget it and ignore the egg, now I just have to wait here until Ruby and Meshi come to their senses. Maybe I'll take a break, true! I will lean my body against a rock here and will close my eyes, when I wake up we will continue our journey...

"Urkk!!"

I woke up, it hasn't even been a minute since I closed my eyes, something pinched me in, and I opened my eyes. I can feel the hard structure behind me which is a Stone, and in front of me, that thing is round and oval in shape, white in color, and has a pattern around it.

"Alright maybe I'll try to analyze it [ Appraisal ]"

I released myself from the egg, but she kept following me, I don't know why, and since when did the egg move by itself? This egg is big, and I feel a beat when I

「 Appraisal Failed 」

What? an appraisal can fail? this is the first time, is there no information about this egg?? a crack appeared from the top of the egg.

"Is it time for this egg to hatch? Wow! it glows!"

It's the first time I've seen hatched eggs give off light like this, lighting up the side of the cave, something came out of the egg.
