ALL NOVEL Chapter 2: Symbiosis
After a short rest, Ye Chen finally recovered from the state of physical exhaustion.
"I am so weak now that even a bird can kill me."
In the civilized world, there are rules to protect the weak, but in this different world, power is the only law.
The most urgent thing for Ye Chen is to evolve quickly!
power!
Thinking of this, Ye Chen opened the system properties panel:
System host: Ye Chen
Evolution stage: egg
Physical strength: 0.15
Spiritual power realm: None
Possess skills: solid
Shell breaking value (starting evolution value after reaching long-term): 30/100
...
After completing the first-class mission, Ye Chen's physical strength rose from 0.01 to 0.15. Ye Chen estimated that this was the effect of activating the talent "sturdiness".
"Completing missions will allow me to get broken eggs and at the same time increase physical strength. It seems that I have to complete more missions."
According to the previous system reminder, the physical strength of 1.0 is the basic strength of mortal practitioners in this world.
To survive in this mountain range, Ye Chen must ascend to this level as soon as possible.
"Huh, is this?"
Just as Ye Chen was thinking about it, he noticed the strange object on the edge of the bird's nest.
Like Ye Chen, it is also an egg.
"Is this the egg of that demon kestrel?"
Ye Chen said in shock.
The demon kestrel just happened to lay its eggs before being shot down.
"Innate aura detected."
The cold voice sounded again.
Ye Chen found that the demon kestrel egg in his field of vision had a hint of "absorbable".
Then he saw a hint of lavender in the Demon Kestrel Egg.
This is the innate aura of creatures.
Somehow, Ye Chen felt very hungry, he took a sharp breath, a trace of aura from the Demon Kestrel Egg was extracted and entered into his egg.
"Aura inhalation is detected and the swallowing evolution function is activated!"
There was a sudden sound from the system.
"The growth rate of the host increases by 300%, and the aura consumption increases by 300%!"
After the system prompt ended, Ye Chen felt a terrible hunger, as if he was about to hollow out himself.
Next, he felt short of breath, as if he was about to lack of oxygen!
"not good!"
"The aura consumption has increased several times, my aura reserves are not enough!"
Without thinking more, Ye Chen got close to the egg.
A trace of strange purple aura was sucked out of the monster falcon egg and injected into Ye Chen's body.
"Broken egg value +0.5!"
"Physical Strength +0.01"
When the prompt sound came, Ye Chen felt that he actually felt full.
"Curious! It turns out that absorbing the innate aura from other eggs can increase my physical strength and increase the shell value. This is much faster than sitting and absorbing the innate aura."
"It seems that I must take the initiative to find other monster eggs to absorb, otherwise, it is very likely that I will die because of lack of aura!"
Ye Chen has always thought that he is not a person who is willing to wait, and after the demon Kestrel attacked just now, he has realized that there is no absolute safety in this crisis-ridden mountain range.
Although hiding to the extreme, this bird's nest was accidentally discovered by the demon kestrel, and maybe a more powerful demon beast will discover itself in a few days.
"I now have the ability to move. If I have the opportunity, I must try to leave to absorb the eggs of other monsters and gain innate aura!"
...
In the next few days, Ye Chen was watching the surroundings.
As the physical strength increased, he already had enough power to move.
Of course, the scope of activity is limited to the bird's nest.
After observation, he probably determined his position.
The canopy of a strange uncle.
And below the canopy, there is a shallow stream.
Ye Chen had the idea of jumping into the stream several times, but out of insurance, he gave up.
A few days passed.
Ye Chen has been waiting, waiting for an opportunity.
Finally one day, the time has come.
A moment ago, the mountains were still windy and sunny, the sky was clear and the sun was shining brightly.
In the next moment, dark clouds shrouded and the wind blows.
Ye Chen, who was enjoying the sun, noticed something was wrong for the first time, and immediately retracted to the most secret place of the bird's nest.
"It's time!" Feeling the weather outside is getting worse, Ye Chen's heart became firm.
He could feel that the aura obtained by absorbing the demon kestrel egg was slowly digested.
In the past two days, he has slowly started to feel hypoxia, about once every two hours, and this feeling is getting stronger and stronger, and now it has been reduced to about one hour.
If you don't absorb other monster eggs, you will die from lack of aura! !
Wow!
Heavy rain poured, squally winds, lightning and thunder, the entire forest was beaten by wind and rain, countless monsters were affected.
The tree where Ye Chen was located was very strong, but it couldn't resist such natural disasters either.
Crunch! !
Ye Chen felt his body shook, and actually slid directly to the other side of the bird's nest.
At this moment, he also saw the scene under the big tree.
Under the blessing of heavy rain, the originally low and shallow creek is already a vast ocean!
Ye Chen grasped the opportunity and used the power of his whole body to rush towards the edge of the bird's nest.
A small egg, riding on the small bird's nest, slipped from the top of the big tree and landed firmly on the stream.
Looking in another direction, Ye Chen found that besides himself, there were a lot of bird eggs on the ground not far away.
However, they have all fallen apart.
Ye Chen couldn't tell what he was like, but when he saw these broken eggs, there was a hint of happiness in his heart.
If it weren't for the idea of taking the initiative to leave and being prepared, maybe he would end up like this?
Not even the corpse capital, just some liquid?
Another key point is that he opened up the talent "sturdiness", so it doesn't matter.
Soon after.
Ye Chen felt that he was being moved.
The torrential rain was too great, and some small currents formed on the ground, and gradually expanded, connecting with other rivers.
The bird's nest he was in was floating on a river.
There was a crash.
Because the bird's nest was knocked over by a wave, he fell directly into the river.
As an egg, he can breathe. It is because there are many small holes in the shell, and air can come in through these small holes.
And now these small holes are beginning to bubble out.
Ye Chen felt like he was suffocating and died.
Some water even drilled in through the small holes in the shell, squeezing the air out of the egg.
However, I don't know if it was because of the egg, Ye Chen always felt that his ability to hold his breath in the water was much stronger than before.
I don't know how long it took, Ye Chen felt that he had moved a long way, but he was still conscious and not comatose.
Suddenly, he found a dark shadow in front of him hitting him.
With a bang, something came across Ye Chen and took him out of the water.
See clearly what you call a life-saving "beneficiary".
The opponent was a monster that looked like an otter.
The figure was much larger than Ye Chen, and the small black eyes were full of strange light.
Ye Chen suddenly realized something, and his heart trembled.
"Just out of the tiger's mouth and enter the wolf's den, otters are instinct to eat bird eggs!"
Ye Chen realized the seriousness of the matter.
The otter screamed happily, and seemed to be cheering for the delicious meal.
Ye Chen even seemed to hear the other party swallow.
Then he saw that the otter opened its mouth and bit at itself.
Ye Chen could already imagine the scene where he was swallowed alive.
"Hey~"
The otter's teeth touched Ye Chen and made a crisp sound.
The otter was a little surprised, and put Ye Chen down again.
It looked at the egg up and down, and some did not understand why it was so hard.
Then, the otter bit it directly.
The result still failed.
Ye Chen was tensing his nerves at this time, launching his "firm" talent, and now it seems that he can breathe a sigh of relief.
"This talent is very useful, even the otter can't break my defenses."
"Wow..."
The otter seemed a little angry.
So he was very angry, holding Ye Chen, directly knocked on the side of the stone.
Bang.
The egg shell collided with the hard rock, and there was a clear sound.
Ye Chen felt a pain in his heart.
The otter smashed it a few more times, then put Ye Chen in his hand and took a look, and found that it was no different from before, and was furious.
It opened its blood basin and opened its mouth, and directly stuffed the whole leaf dust into its mouth, chewing and chewing.
Then, the otter vomited the leaf dust again, accompanied by some blood and teeth.
The blood of the otters on the eggshell was gradually disappearing, and it actually penetrated into his shell.
"Ding! The second-tier hidden mission has been triggered."
"Open the second rank hidden mission: subdue the servant."
Second-grade task: subdue the servant
Task description: Through the blood ritual, conquer the first-order monster spirit tooth otter.
Task reward: broken egg value +10.
...
"Essence and blood ceremony?"
Ye Chen felt the spirit tooth otter blood that had been absorbed by himself, and actually had a grasping feeling.
"I can control the monster beast by absorbing the essence and blood!"
Through the blood connection, the spirit tooth otter also felt bad.
It roared and began to struggle, trying to get rid of Ye Chen's soul control.
"It's just a little otter!"
Feeling the vibration from the depths of his soul, Ye Chen snorted coldly.
Even though he was reborn as an egg, Ye Chen's soul was extremely tenacious. In the confrontation of the essence and blood ritual, he gradually gained the peak.
When the Lingfang Otter stopped struggling, Ye Chen finally let go of the pulling of the soul filament.
"I am in urgent need of this kind of power now!"
"However, this kind of control seems to be limited by the strength of my soul. If I want to control a powerful monster in the future, I myself must be strong enough."
Although the two are symbiotic, they are dominated by Ye Chen's wishes.
In other words, it seems that Ye Chen can control otters.
Wait until it settles down.
Ye Chen checked his information first.
System host: Ye Chen
Evolution stage: egg
Physical strength: 0.16
Spiritual power realm: None
Possess skills: solid lv1
Shell breaking value (turn on evolution value after reaching juvenile stage): 40.5/100
Today's Ye Chen is much stronger than ordinary eggs, can run and move, and has a hard shell.
But in essence, it is still very weak, much worse than a mortal practitioner with 1.0 physical strength.
