Chapter 2: Stone Dagger

Carlo spent more than an hour studying his System and then discovered, to his dismay, that the so-called system did nothing but give him a clear picture of his current strength.

He didn't see any clickable buttons or hidden functions, but he did guess that the data behind the strength bar should be his experience bar because he remembered that he had just eaten almost 20 or so demon eggs.

If the experience of one demon egg is worth one point and the experience of the lizard crab he killed is worth two points, then the calculation is just right.

The same should be true for the evil value column, although he doesn't know what this evil value can be used for yet.

To test his guess, Carlo ate two more demon eggs, and his experience went up to 24 and his evil value increased by 20.

He got a reasonable idea of what He was doing.

He started to look for more devil eggs; he wanted to see if he could upgrade if his experience value went up to 100, and if he did, what would it be like?

There is no need to look for them; there are devil eggs everywhere.

The demon eggs around his birthplace have all been destroyed by him, and he is slowly walking further away.

and then inevitably encountered competitors.

The demons of the abyss have to face the cruel test of survival from birth, and the weak are prey to the strong. Countless small demons crawl out of the eggshell, but before they can open their eyes, they have been eaten by the first-born demons.

Generally, when a small demon is formed, the rest of the eggs will not have a chance to produce new demons because they will all become nourishment for the demon's growth.

If he hadn't been the first to be born in this batch of demon eggs, he might have become digestible by now.

To Carlo's left, a small demon as big as a dog, who also looks somewhat like a dog, was eating. But this dog demon does not have feet, only unusually powerful arms, and walks with his hands on the ground jumping forward with every movement.

The dog demon bared its mouth at Carlo, and the thick arm that supported the ground jumped toward him.

Carlo didn't know how to fight, so he picked up a stone from his feet and started throwing it at the dog demon. The dog demon was not at all hindered and dodged to the left, seemingly becoming more aggressive.

Carlo looked at the dog devil's mouth full of sharp teeth and could not help but secretly curse.

'why do all the demons have their natural weapons? How can I fight with my bare hands?'

The dog devil jumped closer and closer, Carlo backing up, but good thing he is faster than the dog devil, otherwise, it will be caught up.

'I have to think of a way to kill it to do it.'

Carlo remembered how to kill the first little demon, so he picked up a demon egg and smashed it.

The dog demon looked down at the demon egg and then looked at Karo, hesitated for a second, and then continued to move forward.

This method didn't work; the temptation to Kill Carlo is greater than the demon egg.

Carlo turned around and ran, shaking the dog demon off in one fell swoop. He ran back to his original position and looked back, but the dog demon was still leaping toward him with persistence.

'What can I do now?' He suddenly saw the body of the first little demon he killed lying on the ground in front of his face, and with a thought, he threw the body away.

The flesh and blood corpse fell two or three meters to the side of the dog demon; it stopped in its tracks.

Carlo stared closely at that side, paying attention to what the dog demon would do next.

The dog demon hesitated for a moment, then turned around and jumped to the corpse's side.

Sure enough. Carlo's eyes lit up; between prey that still needed to be caught and a ready-made meal, the dog demon chose the latter.

Next, it is to continue his specialty: killing demons.

Carlo quickly searched and picked up a rather heavy but still barely able to hold a large stone. He stepped on the soft sand and gravel, trying not to make any noise, and quietly approached.

The dog devil ate very happily, his mouth constantly issuing a "puff, puff, puff" sound.

Carlo's eyes lifted the hand of a large stone aimed at the dog devil's head and smashed it down hard.

The dog demon's mouth let out a cruel scream and rolled to the side.

The stone is too heavy; Carlo still has some poor grasp; he did not hit its head but broke its arm.

The dog demon stared at Karo with a resentful gaze, but now it only has one arm left and can't walk anymore, only jumping on the ground like a fish on the shore.

The dog demon cannot hide, but this time it is much easier.

Carlo spent about ten minutes carrying stones to move the gasping, finally getting the dog demon to smash alive.

After the death of the dog demon, whose "territory" all belonged to Carlo, he cracked open three demon eggs in a row and drank them clean.

He also did not want to eat a bloody corpse, he couldn't.

'I have to find a way to make a fire and eat cook meat to grow fast.' Carlo thought.

He took the time to look at the system template in his head, but it was the same; only the experience value had become 30 and the evil value had become 300.

The dog demon had just grown similarly to him, providing him with three experience points.

With the dog demon's corpse in front of him, Carlo rubbed his chin and suddenly had a good idea.

However, first of all, there must be a qualified "Bait"

Carlo searched for half a day but did not find a decent stick-shaped stone, and then he simply gave up and picked up harder stone pieces on the rocky ground to grind up.

It looked like he had to suffice with a crude stone knife.

Carlo frantically sharpened the stone knife, and ate a devil's egg; when he had eaten all the devil's eggs in this area the stone knife was also complete.

Strictly speaking, it cannot be called a stone knife but should be a stone dagger. It is about a foot long, and the tip of the three or four inches is very sharp. Carlo estimated that using this stone dagger to pierce the little devil's brain should not be a big problem.

Carlo admired his masterpiece with satisfaction, then lifted the dog demon's corpse and started looking for his first target.
