Chapter 3: The Law of Demons
As if the time had come, the demon's eggs began to hatch in clusters.
How to say it, the current scene is like when Roy used to watch Jurassic Park, the scene of the dinosaurs hatching in the movie, as the little devils broke out of their shells, and the entire beach suddenly became the birthplace of monsters......
The little devils hatched one after another, but their forms were different, there were little devils like Roy in humanoid form, and there were also little devils like beasts, on all fours, in addition, there were also myriapod little devils similar to insects, and some of the little devils in the form of insects even had elytra on their backs! It seems to be a species that is capable of flying from birth.
Not only are they different in shape, but they also have different skin tones, most of them are black and red, but there are also dark gray, cyan, and even skin covered with stratum corneum.
It seems that the so-called demons are just a general term, and there should also be racial divisions within the demon race.
Different from Roy's observation of the environment after he was born, these little devils seem to be driven by instinct, as soon as they come out, they can't wait to start gnawing on the eggshells that give birth to themselves, which causes the whole beach to resound with rustling and clicking sounds, and thousands of demon eggs on the beach have hatched at least two-thirds at this time, and the sound of thousands of little devils gnawing on the egg shells converges, which can make people with dense phobia shudder!
Roy looked at the scene in front of him with some vigilance, looking at these little devils, he didn't have the slightest concept of compatriots, but he noticed that these little devils born at this time were a little different from when he was born, most of these little devils were relatively dry when they came out, and there was not much mucus in the egg shell at all, unlike Roy, there was still a lot of mucus left at the bottom of the egg shell, so that when he came out, his body was wet.
And after comparing several little devils who looked very similar to him, Roy found that his body didn't seem to be as big as these little devils, and not as strong as them......
Is this the after-effect of preterm birth?
After a while, the little demons who had already eaten the eggshells did another thing that made Roy feel creepy.
About twenty meters away to Roy's right, there was a little devil with black skin and a hideous face, with four eyes on his forehead, his pupils were also erect, and behind him, there was a short tail, under Roy's gaze, after the little devil gnawed the eggshell, patted his belly, reached out at his feet and picked up a piece of lava that had cooled, and then jumped towards the beach near the sea behind.
On the beach near the sea, there were a lot of demon eggs that had not yet hatched, and the little devil held the stone, found one of the eggs that had not yet hatched, lifted the stone with both hands, and smashed it on the egg shell.
was hit by a stone, and the egg shell suddenly cracked, and the little devil holding the stone did not relent, and smashed it with a few clicks, directly smashing the egg shell!
As soon as the egg shell broke, the mucus inside suddenly flowed out, and a little devil in the egg shell that had already been formed seemed to feel the crisis of survival, struggling to open his eyes and get out, but unexpectedly, the little devil holding the stone was really ruthless, and he actually lifted the stone directly and smashed it towards the little devil inside!
The severe pain made the little devil in the egg shell let out a miserable scream, but because his movement was restricted, he was powerless to stop the four-eyed little devil from atrocity against him, so as the stones continued to fall, the screams of the little devil in the egg shell gradually became smaller.
He realized that he could not be born and would die......
Not only this four-eyed little devil, but most of the little devils who had hatched on the beach made similar moves, as if they had made an appointment, they found stones from the ground as weapons, smashed all the demon eggs that could not hatch, and then killed the little devils in the egg shells one by one.
It was a rather brutal scene, and Roy felt a chill hit his spinal cord.
Is this the law of survival in the demon world?!
Not to mention that Roy, the fake demon, subconsciously did not regard these strange little demons as compatriots, and even these genuine demons did not treat their compatriots as compatriots, Roy turned his head and found that many little demons even slapped their palms proudly and jumped in place after completing a bloody kill, and let out a quacking laugh, as if they were making a fun game.
Even the young are so cruel and murderous, and the habits of creatures like demons can be seen.
The four-eyed little devil not far from Roy also completed a bloody kill at this time, and the little devil who was killed, a small ball of light suddenly appeared in his body, and he wanted to fly up, however, before the ball of light could float, he was grabbed by the murderer next to him, the four-eyed little devil, with his palm open!
After grabbing the ball of light, the four-eyed little demon threw the ball of light into his mouth and swallowed it with a grunt.
Immediately, the body of the four-eyed little demon began to tremble, and it entered a strange state, and even Roy, a bystander, could see that he was ...... It's very cool!
Looking at his expression, a song suddenly appeared in Roy's mind: "Hey, I feel that my life has reached a high level of ridicule......
"What is that light...... Soul!? But then Roy quickly reacted, and quickly looked around, only to find that the little demons that hatched first had all collected souls from the bodies of the little demons they killed at this moment, and swallowed them as soon as possible!
Then, they all showed that kind of hi expression......
This is probably due to the soul-eating addiction in the nature of demons, and it is no wonder that in many legends, souls are linked to demons......
Seeing this scene, Roy found that the opportunity to obtain his first soul seemed to have appeared! This opportunity is the little devil who can't get out of these egg shells!
As a weak premature baby, Roy has a full sense of crisis in his heart, and all the signs observed from birth to the present show that in this demon world, only the strong can survive, and he can't guarantee that the little devils around him will target him, a guy who looks weak, in order to increase his chances of survival, he must increase his capital at any cost.
So, Roy immediately picked up a rock and ran towards a demon egg.
Ruthless, Roy lifted the stone and smashed it on the eggshell, smashing the crack in the eggshell with the first blow.
Continued to smash, clicked twice, the egg shell was finally smashed, and the egg liquid inside also flowed out, and in the egg shell, a demon with a black body and worm-like sharp mouthparts, as if aware of the existential crisis, began to struggle to crawl out.
However, his hideous appearance made Roy even more unburdened, and a stone fell on his head.
The strange body of the worm demon makes it impossible to see where the head is, but it will never be wrong to smash it near the sharp mouthparts, and after Roy gritted his teeth and smashed, the worm demon became covered in white slurry, which was mixed with purple demon blood, which looked very disgusting.
Holding back the nausea, Roy completed his own one-blood kill, and then he also collected a soul light cluster from the worm demon, but this soul light cluster was a little dim and a little small, and it didn't seem to be of good quality.
But in any case, now that Roy has his first soul in his hands and has finally met the requirements for painting and preservation, it seems that it can be strengthened......
