I picked up skill fragments in the demon world

#21 - Borrowing light from the wall

If my relationship with Zhang Chen wasn't so strained, I might have believed the nonsense at the door and opened it!

Inside the room, Zhang Chen gripped an inkstone, his eyes fixed on the door, a hint of vigilance in his gaze, his body trembling slightly: "I never thought the stories in books would actually happen in reality."

The little fox spirit looked at the door, listening to the increasingly urgent knocking, its eyes darting around, cursing inwardly: "Damn it, wasn't this thing severely injured by Zhang Chen last time? Why is it back to bother me? If this keeps up, it won't do. Am I going to have to run to the next house with articles in my mouth every day?"

The knocking grew more frantic, and the little fox spirit paced anxiously, its eyes suddenly spotting the hole in the 'firewall' that Zhang Chen had blocked. A golden light flashed in its eyes, and the next moment, a needle and thread from Zhang Chen's basket suddenly flew up like a bullet, precisely piercing the hole and reopening it.

It didn't stop there. The little fox spirit manipulated the steel needle, constantly weaving back and forth across the wall, creating thirty or so holes in an instant.

The firewall was too large, and the thirty-odd holes were inconspicuous, looking like they had been 'gnawed' out by insects and ants. Even upon close inspection, they would be difficult to notice.

"Perfect! I, Qingqiu Nannan, am truly a little genius!" The little fox spirit looked at the holes in the wall, a hint of smugness in its eyes. Then, looking at Zhang Chen with cold sweat on his forehead, a hint of guilt appeared, and the next moment it darted out, knocking the door open.

"No!" Zhang Chen cried out upon seeing the little fox spirit's actions, terrified out of his wits, trying to rush over and stop it, but it was too late.

"Bang!"

The door was violently knocked open, and the little fox spirit was thrown out. A gust of black wind blew into the room, and at that moment, an invisible force passed through the holes in the wall, stimulating Zhang Chen, causing a golden light to burst forth from his body.

That golden light was invisible to the naked eye, directly passing through the cracks in the wall and shooting into Zhang Chen's house.

"Ah!"

A scream came from the black wind, then the dust dissipated, and all the strange phenomena disappeared without a trace.

The outside world was calm, and the lights in the house were still on, only the swaying door seemed to be telling that everything just now was not an illusion.

"What the hell was that?" Zhang Chen was dumbfounded, looking at the inkstone in his hand, a hint of doubt in his eyes, muttering softly: "Did I repel that ghost thing? Or is this inkstone a treasure that can injure the strange?"

The little fox spirit rolled its eyes upon hearing this, muttering to itself: "If it weren't for this fairy, you would have been eaten long ago!"

Zhang Chen didn't know what happened next door. He was completely unaffected, stood up unsteadily, feeling refreshed. After washing up, he gnawed on jerky and walked into the mountains.

Along the way, he conveniently harvested two wild chickens. Zhang Chen came to the ancient tomb again, and his eyes widened as he looked at the stone tablet.

"What's going on?"

Two large clumps of experience points were flashing under the stone tablet, and most importantly, the words on the stone tablet had begun to bleed again.

"Why is it bleeding again?" Zhang Chen looked at the blood constantly seeping out of the stone tablet, a hint of surprise in his eyes, then looked at the two large clumps of experience points on the ground, a hint of surprise in his eyes: Experience + 150.

Both clumps of experience points were one hundred and fifty points, which was already equivalent to Zhang Chen's current daily income.

Zhang Chen stepped forward to collect the experience points, and then the golden finger panel refreshed:

[Name: Zhang Chen]

[Skill 1 (Second Tier): Light of the True God (0/5000)]

[Skill 2 (Unranked): Dragon Qi (0/2000)]

[Points: 3350]

"This stone tablet seems a bit strange." Zhang Chen circled the stone tablet, then had a sudden inspiration. A golden light flashed in his eyes, and then Zhang Chen looked at the stone tablet, a look of surprise on his face: "What powerful anomaly!"

As mentioned earlier, Zhang Chen could see the 'qi' flowing around the strange, for example, the golden qi flowing around Zhang Chen himself, and the cyan qi flowing around the fox spirit. The qi flowing around the stone tablet was actually blood red.

Pure blood red! Red like a mass of wriggling, viscous blood. Zhang Chen had never seen such a viscous 'qi'.

"What the hell is this? Has the stone tablet really become a monster?" Zhang Chen's eyes were full of disbelief.

He knew that there was something strange in the tomb, so he had been on guard, using his magic eyes to check everywhere from time to time. Because he hadn't found any strange monsters for the time being, he hadn't raised his vigilance.

When the stone tablet was first dug out, he had also checked it, but there was no 'qi' at all. It was just an ordinary stone tablet. How could it have 'qi' flowing in it after only a few days? Did it directly turn into a monster?

Zhang Chen cursed himself inwardly, 'Life is too comfortable, I was careless. I have to investigate every day in the future.' Then Zhang Chen looked at the stone tablet, a strange look in his eyes: "Speaking of which, this is my first time in close contact with a monster! That blood-red light always makes me feel uncomfortable. If my golden light is vast and mighty, like a god descending, and the fox spirit's clear light is ethereal and refreshing, then the blood-red light in front of me has an indescribable stench, like something evil and terrifying, making people uncomfortable just looking at it. This stone tablet is probably not from a good place!"

Zhang Chen kept circling the stone tablet, staring at the blood-red qi: "This is my first time in contact with a monster, maybe I can use this stone tablet to study the monster and explore more secrets of the monster."

"I'm actually more curious, the stone tablet was just an ordinary stone tablet before, how did it become a monster now?" Zhang Chen thought about it, it seemed that everything had changed since he first used blood to rub the words on the stone tablet, and then it dropped experience points every day.

"It seems to be because of blood." Zhang Chen took out the wild chicken he caught from the basket, then came to the stone tablet, suddenly slashed it with a knife, and the next moment the wild chicken's blood splattered on the stone tablet, and then the stone tablet visibly absorbed the blood like a sponge, and then the red aura surrounding the stone tablet actually began to increase.

"I knew it! It really is because of blood! This stone tablet can actually increase its power by absorbing blood." Zhang Chen put down the dead wild chicken, then looked at the stone tablet, a thoughtful look in his eyes.

At this time, after the stone tablet absorbed the blood of the wild chicken, no more blood flowed out of the stone tablet.
