Starting From An Egg, I Evolve Through Devouring - Chapter 3

Chapter 3: Devouring Each Other

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

If I don’t eat now, I’ll really faint here from hunger .

But as an egg, I don’t even have a mouth. How am I supposed to eat?

While thinking of this, Qi Chen tried to open his mouth.

Then a gap cracked open on the egg shell, which looked like a mouth.

This works?

Qi Chen was shocked, but now it was not the time to think about this. Eating was more important.

He came to the gorilla’s wound, opened his mouth, bit off a piece of meat, and quickly stuffed it into his mouth.

Perhaps it was because of the evolution, not only had his hearing improved, but also his strength had increased. This could be considered as a benefit of evolution.

Just as Qi Chen was about to take a second bite…

[Prompt: Two hundred and fifty meters ahead, one level-three demon beast has appeared!]

[Prompt: A level-three demon beast is approaching quickly. Please take note to hide!]

Qi Chen was shocked. He just wanted to eat something in peace to fill his stomach. How could there be so many demon beasts!

He looked up and saw blood everywhere.

It must be the smell of blood coming from the gorilla that attracted all the nearby demon beasts.

A level-one demon beast is already scary enough. Now that this is a level-three one, I can’t afford to offend it!

Qi Chen rolled away helplessly.

[Prompt: Three hundred meters to the right, one level-two demon beast has appeared!]

[Prompt: Two hundred meters behind, one level-one demon beast has appeared!]

[Prompt: Three…]

The system notifications kept sounding.

The smell of blood in the air attracted more and more demon beasts.

Qi Chen’s heart trembled and he rolled even faster.

Judging from the sound, the beast closest to me is about a hundred meters away. There’s still a chance to escape!

Qi Chen was very glad that he had increased his speed, making his movements even faster and nimbler.

“Ssss—”

Just as Qi Chen thought that he could escape, a black shadow darted out from the tree. Qi Chen raised his head and saw two cold eyes staring at him.

It was a python that was five meters long and its width was as wide as an adult’s head.

I was too careless. The sound of a snake’s movement is very light!

Upon seeing this green anaconda, Qi Chen’s body halted.

But then he thought about it. To be able to move so fast, it must be the level-three demon beast that the system had prompted.

A demon beast of this level, even if he could hear its movement ahead of time, he would not be able to escape in time.

The sounds of the demon beasts around me are getting closer and closer. I can’t be trapped. I have to fight!

Qi Chen did not dare to wait any longer. Once those demon beasts surrounded him, it would be even harder for him to escape.

However, the strength of a level-three demon beast was beyond his imagination.

Qi Chen wanted to move, but the green anaconda swooshed and wrapped its tail tightly around his egg body.

It opened its mouth and swallowed him whole.

When Qi Chen was swallowed whole, he could do nothing. He had no hands or legs, only a mouth.

“Roar!”

When the green anaconda swallowed Qi Chen into its stomach, the demon beasts had already surrounded it.

Continuous roars could be heard all around.

The green anaconda felt the pressure.

“Ssss—”

It flicked out its snake tongue, constantly demonstrating its might to the surrounding demon beasts.

I feel terrible. I can’t breathe.

Qi Chen, who was in the snake’s stomach, felt like he was about to suffocate.

Fortunately, he ate some meat before he was eaten. Otherwise, he would really faint here due to his lack of stamina.

So what if you’re a level-three demon beast? You want to eat me, I’ll eat you too! Just nice I’m still hungry!

Qi Chen opened his mouth and bit the wall of flesh inside the snake’s body in a frenzy.

But it was useless. He could not bite it off at all.

As it turned out, a level-three demon beast was too impressive for a demon beast that had yet to reach level one to deal with.

Suddenly, Qi Chen could feel his eggshell being corroded.

This was anaconda’s stomach acid which had begun to dissolve him.

Facing such an attack, his damage reflection talent was completely useless.

I don’t believe it! I can’t even bite a hole!

Qi Chen was still struggling with all his might, and had used his greatest strength to bite.

However, he soon became very weak.

Not only was the anaconda’s stomach acid digesting him, but there was also no air around him. He had already entered a state of hypoxia.

Am I really going to die here?

Qi Chen bit hard before his consciousness dissipated.

This bite was so painful that the anaconda immediately went berserk.

When the surrounding demon beasts saw that the anaconda was not in a right state, they also launched attacks and pounced towards it.

The anaconda’s eyes were bloodshot as it launched its counterattack.

It needed to vent its pain!

After a while.

[Beep! The host has killed the level-three demon beast, Forest Anaconda, obtained 2 enhancement points!]

The system notification woke up the groggy Qi Chen.

I’m still alive?

Qi Chen opened his eyes with difficulty and saw the corpses of many demon beasts on the ground.

He could see the outside! He could even breathe!

Qi Chen was stunned. If an egg could have an expression, he would be smiling as though he had just survived a disaster.

He struggled to roll out from the wound on the green anaconda’s stomach.

Qi Chen felt that his eggshell had become thinner.

If he wasn’t careful, it probably would crack.

He turned around and gazed at the snake resentfully. There were fatal wounds all over the anaconda’s body, and its head had been torn off by a gray wolf that died after.

Its death was extremely miserable.

“Pui, you deserve it. If you didn’t swallow me, how would you end up like this!”

Qi Chen remembered very clearly that it was his bite that caused the boa to go berserk.

Then, the anaconda was beaten up by many demon beasts.

On the other hand, these surrounding demon beasts must have been killed by the anaconda.

I have to leave quickly. If a few more demon beasts come later, I will really be gone.

Qi Chen thought of this. However, his body was injured and it was too difficult for him to move.

I should strengthen my body first!

Qi Chen focused his attention on the status in front of him.

[Level: 0/10]

[Evolution: A tiger-striped egg with unknown significance]

[Talent: Armor of Thorns (When attacked, you can reflect 50% of damage back to the attacker)]

[Speed: 0.6 / 10]

[Defense: 1/10]

[Attack: 0.1/10]

[Enhancement Points: 2]

[Skill: Level 0, unable to activate skill]

I have two enhancement points. Speed +0.4, Attack +0.9 and the rest are all added to defense.

Having suffered from his non-existing attack power, Qi Chen decided to increase his attack power.

After adding points, his status changed.

[Speed: 1/10]

[Defense: 1.7/10]

[Attack: 1/10]

[Beep! The host’s three-dimensional attributes have all reached one and above. You can advance to level one. Do you want to advance?]

Qi Chen was stunned.

It turned out that advancing through levels required him to raise all three attributes.

“Advance!”

Qi Chen once again felt that heart-wrenching pain.

His entire body was changing.

[Beep! Advancement completed!]
