Starting From An Egg, I Evolve Through Devouring - Chapter 5

Chapter 5: Promotion to Level-Two

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The demon beasts that fought with each other were at least at the level-two.

Even if he could only kill-steal one of the two level-two demon beasts, he could still obtain one enhancement point.

If there’s no chance, then I’ll run. I won’t lose anything anyway.

The reason Qi Chen dared to have such thought was because his defense had already reached the level-two realm.

Qi Chen took advantage of his small stature and specifically hid in a corner. He gradually approached the two demon beasts that were currently battling.

One of them was an earthen yellow three-tailed fox. It was one and a half meters long and emitted an extremely powerful aura.

It was a level-three demon beast.

The other one was a two-headed lion. It was two meters long and had a slightly stronger aura than Qi Chen.

It was a level-two demon beast.

The two demon beasts roared and started fighting.

Bang!

The level-three three tailed fox was actually pushed back!

“This three-tailed fox seems very weak!”

Qi Chen muttered to himself as he thought of something.

According to the map, there was a level-three demon beast and two ordinary ones.

Now, only one level-three demon beast had appeared, and it was very weak.

Qi Chen guessed that this was a demon beast that had just given birth and was currently in a weakened state.

It was no wonder the level-two two-headed lion dared to cause trouble.

Swing your claws! Grab off one head of the two-headed lion!

Don’t be a coward, two-headed lion! Bite its tail!

Qi Chen was secretly cheering for the two demon beasts.

Even in its weakened state, the three-tailed fox was still a level-three demon beast.

It was not something that could be easily defeated by a level-two demon beast.

The three-tailed fox leaped nimbly and dodged the attacks from the two-headed lion. Following that, it sliced apart one of the two-headed lion’s heads with its claws.

“Roar!”

The two-headed lion rolled on the ground in pain.

The three-tailed fox roared and was about to charge forward to end the two-headed lion’s life.

Suddenly, a weak cry came from behind.

The three-tailed fox’s expression changed. It turned around and ran towards the back.

Qi Chen’s heart stirred. Something happened to the cub of the three-tailed fox?

Wait a minute, why am I thinking about that? This is a chance to pick up the scraps now!

He stared at the two-headed lion that was rolling on the ground and howling in pain. A hint of greed appeared in his eyes, even though an egg didn’t have eyes.

Qi Chen didn’t think too much about it and directly charged towards the two-headed lion.

When it was time to be afraid, he would be afraid. When it was time to make a move, he would not hesitate!

Otherwise, where was the point of staying alive?

“Roar!”

The two-headed lion roared angrily.

It discovered that a hand-sized egg was flying toward itself!

Instantly, apart from pain and anger inside this remaining head, there was also some surprise.

I myself was injured and now food came to me to help me recover my strength.

He did not expect such a good thing to happen in this world!

The two-headed lion opened its mouth and ruthlessly bit down on the egg.

Qi Chen dashed straight into the two-headed lion’s mouth.

The two-headed lion let out a low growl and bit down fiercely!

[Beep! The host’s talent has been triggered, Armor of Thorns!]

Crack!

Every single one of the two-headed lion’s teeth shattered!

“Auwuuu—”

The two-headed lion screamed in pain, wanting to spit out the egg in its mouth.

How could Qi Chen let it succeed? He opened his mouth and ruthlessly bit the two-headed lion’s tongue.

I bite! I bite! I bite!

Qi Chen was frantically biting the insides of the two-headed lion’s mouth.

His attack power was not weak. He had already reached the level of a level-one demon beast.

Although this two-headed lion was a level-two demon beast, the part where he was attacking was its inner cavity!

Under Qi Chen’s biting, the two-headed lion had already lost its rationality from the pain. It opened its mouth again, wanting to bite the eggshell.

[Beep! The host’s talent has been triggered, Armor of Thorns!]

Another wave of damage was caused to its teeth, causing the two-headed lion to convulse on the ground.

Its tongue was bitten off by Qi Chen, and blood kept gushing out of its mouth.

In the end, the two-headed lion stopped struggling.

[Beep! The host has killed the level-two demon beast, Two-Headed Lion, obtained 1 enhancement point!]

Qi Chen rolled out of the two-headed lion’s mouth and was extremely excited.

An egg the size of a hand had killed the two-meter long two-headed lion. This scene was incomparably shocking!

Before Qi Chen could feel the joy of victory, the system notification sounded again.

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

Alarmed, he turned around and ran out.

Not to mention fighting against a level-four demon beast, it would already be considered lucky if he could run away.

“Roar!” A deep roar was heard from where the two-headed lion died.

Boss, don’t chase me! I’ll leave right now!

Qi Chen prayed in his heart and quickly rolled forward.

Fortunately, there was no pursuit. He only heaved a sigh of relief when the prompt from the map scan vanished.

Meanwhile, Qi Chen had also arrived at the outer area of the forest.

The energy consumption is really too great. I should quickly find a place to use the enhancement point and take a break.

He crawled into a narrow tree hole and opened up his status with his consciousness.

The data on his status was as follows.

[Speed: 1.5/10]

[Defense: 2/10]

[Attack: 1.2/10]

[Enhancement Points: 1]

Qi Chen pondered and said, “My defense has already reached 2, so there’s no need to add points for now. Speed +0.5, Attack +0.5.”

Immediately, the data on his status changed.

[Speed: 2/10]

[Defense: 2/10]

[Attack: 1.7/10]

[Enhancement Points: 0]

“I’m only 0.3 enhancement points away from upgrading my attack to level two. By then, my level will be upgraded to level two!”

Qi Chen let out a murky breath and calmed his weary mind.

He had not had a good rest ever since he woke up. Now that he had finally obtained peace for the time being, a wave of fatigue swept over him.

The next day.

Gururu!

The hunger from the eggshell woke him.

“I’m so hungry! I want to eat!”

Qi Chen jumped out of the tree hole. The entire egg exuded a sense of confidence.

Yesterday, he was just an egg that anyone could cook.

Today, he was going to become a master. He would kill demon beasts and eat their meat.

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

My current attack power has already reached the peak of level-one. I am not afraid of demon beasts of the same level!

But my defense has reached level two. If I let this level-one demon beast bite me and trigger the Armor of Thorns, what would the outcome be?

Qi Chen thought about it and decided to give it a try.

He headed straight for the area three hundred meters behind him.

“Roar!”

That was a level-one Wild Tiger. He did not expect to meet an old enemy.

Qi Chen was fearless as he slowly bounced over.

His action had thoroughly enraged the tiger, thus the other party charged forward and bit him.

[Beep! The host’s talent has been triggered, Armor of Thorns!]

“Auwuuu—”

The tiger let out a pitiful cry as it was severely wounded.

I don’t feel anything at all.

Qi Chen leaped over and snapped the tiger’s neck in one bite. Then, he began to eat.

[Beep! The host has killed a level-one demon beast, obtained 0.5 enhancement points!]

“Defense +0.2, Attack +0.3.”

While Qi Chen was eating again, he used the enhancement point, and his status changed again.

[Speed: 2/10]

[Defense: 2.2/10]

[Attack: 2/10]

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

“Advance!”

As soon as Qi Chen finished speaking, a sharp pain came.

Qi Chen silently felt the changes that came with the intense pain all over his body. He even began to think that this was a form of enjoyment.

It was an enjoyment of becoming stronger!

[Beep! Advancement completed!]

[Beep! The host has reached level two and can now activate skills.. Please take note of the stats!]
