As though it was time, the demon eggs began to hatch in clusters.
How should he put it? This scene was like the scene of dinosaurs hatching in Jurassic Park. As the little demons broke out of their shells, the entire beach suddenly became the birthplace of monsters …
The little demons hatched one after another, but their forms were all different. There were humanoid little demons like Roy, beast-like little demons with four limbs on the ground, and insect-like little demons with many legs. Some of these insect-like little demons even had elytra on their backs! It seemed like they could fly the moment they were born.
Not only were their forms different, but even their skin color was different. Most of them had black and red skin, but there were also dark gray, green, and even skin covered with cuticle.
It seemed that the so-called demon was just a general term, and there should be racial divisions within the demons.
Unlike Roy, who observed the environment everywhere after he was born, these little demons seemed to be driven by instinct. As soon as they came out, they could not wait to start gnawing on the eggshells that nurtured them, causing rustling and cracking sounds to ring throughout the beach. At least two-thirds of the thousands of demon eggs on the beach had hatched. The sound of thousands of little demons gnawing on the eggshells could make people with trypophobia shudder!
Roy looked at the scene in front of him with some vigilance. He did not have the slightest concept of compatriots, but he noticed that these little demons were a little different from when he was born. Most of these little demons were relatively dry when they came out, and there was not much mucus in their eggshells. Unlike Roy, there was still a lot of mucus at the bottom of the eggshells, so his body was wet when he came out.
And after comparing a few little demons who looked extremely similar to him, Roy found that his body was not as big or as strong as these little demons …
Is this the aftereffect of premature birth?
After a while, the little demons who had finished gnawing on the eggshells did something that made Roy's hair stand on end.
About twenty meters to Roy's right was a black-skinned, ferocious-looking little demon. He had four eyes on his forehead, and his pupils were vertical. Behind him was a short tail. Under Roy's gaze, this little demon patted his belly after gnawing on the eggshell. He reached out to pick up a cooled lava stone by his feet and then hopped toward the beach behind him.
On the beach near the sea, there were many demon eggs that had yet to hatch. The little demon hugged a stone and found one that had yet to hatch. He lifted the stone with both hands and smashed it hard on the eggshell.
The eggshell cracked immediately after being smashed by the stone. The little demon hugged the stone and smashed it a few more times, directly breaking the eggshell!
As soon as the eggshell broke, the mucus inside immediately flowed out, and the little demon that had already formed in the eggshell seemed to feel the crisis of survival. He struggled to open his eyes and get out, but unexpectedly, the little demon hugging the stone was really ruthless. He lifted the stone and smashed it at the little demon inside!
The intense pain made the little demon in the eggshell scream miserably. But because his movements were restricted, he was unable to stop the four-eyed little demon's atrocities. As the stone continued to smash down, the screams of the little demon in the eggshell gradually became softer.
He realized that he was going to die before he could be born …
It was not just this four-eyed little demon. Most of the little demons that had hatched on the beach did the same thing. As though they had made an agreement, they found stones on the ground as weapons, smashed all the unhatched demon eggs, and then killed the little demons in the eggshells one by one.
This was a cruel scene that sent a chill down Roy's spine.
Is this the law of survival in the Demon World?!
Not to mention Roy, a fake demon, subconsciously did not treat these strange-looking little demons as his compatriots, even the real demons did not treat their compatriots as their compatriots. Roy turned his head and found that many little demons were even clapping their hands and jumping on the spot proudly after completing their first kill. They even let out sharp laughter as though they were playing a fun game.
Even the young demons were so cruel and bloodthirsty. The habits of demons could be seen.
The four-eyed little demon not far away from Roy had also completed his first kill. A small ball of light suddenly appeared in the body of the killed little demon, swaying and wanting to fly up. However, before the ball of light could float up, the murderer, the four-eyed little demon, opened his palm and grabbed it!
After grabbing the ball of light, the four-eyed little demon threw it into his mouth and swallowed it.
Immediately, the four-eyed little demon's body began to tremble, and he entered a strange state. Even Roy, a bystander, could see that he was … very happy!
Looking at his expression, a song suddenly appeared in Roy's mind. So high, it feels like life has reached the climax …
That ball of light is … a soul?! But then Roy quickly reacted and looked around. Only then did he find that the little demons that hatched first had collected the souls of the little demons they killed and swallowed them immediately!
Then, they all revealed expressions of ecstasy …
This should be caused by the Soul Devouring Addiction in the nature of demons. No wonder in many legends, souls were linked to demons …
Seeing this scene, Roy found that the opportunity to obtain his first soul seemed to have appeared! This opportunity was the little demons that had yet to crawl out of the eggshells!
As a weak premature baby, Roy had a strong sense of crisis. From birth until now, all the signs he had observed showed that only the strong could survive in this Demon World. He could not guarantee that the little demons around him would not target a weak-looking guy like him. In order to increase his chances of survival, he had to increase his capital at all costs.
Thus, Roy immediately picked up a rock and ran toward a demon egg.
Ruthlessly, Roy raised the rock and smashed it on the eggshell, cracking it on the first hit.
He continued to smash the eggshell. Crack! Crack! The eggshell finally broke, and the liquid inside flowed out. Inside the eggshell was a black, worm-like demon with a sharp mouth. It seemed to realize the crisis of its life and began to struggle to climb out.
However, its ferocious appearance made Roy feel even more unburdened as he smashed the rock on its head.
The strange body of the worm demon made it impossible to see where its head was, but there was absolutely no mistake in smashing it near its sharp mouth. Roy gritted his teeth and smashed it randomly. The worm demon became covered in white slurry, and this slurry mixed with the purple demon blood looked very disgusting.
Enduring the nausea, Roy completed his first kill. He then collected a soul from the worm demon, but this soul was a little dim and small, and its quality was not good.
