I picked up skill fragments in the demon world

Zhang Chen quickly crushed the thought in his mind, muttering to himself, "This idea is too dangerous. If it gets out, I'm afraid I'll be better off dead!"

Thinking of this, Zhang Chen scratched his head, his eyes looking at the two stewards who left with their heads held high, a thoughtful look in his eyes: "Increasing the rent to five taels of silver a year is simply too much! Many people hunt in the mountains for a year and may not even sell for three taels of silver. How are people supposed to live? This is forcing the people to revolt!"

When the people can't survive, where will they care about so much?

Zhang Chen carried the Luoyang shovel, his face full of displeasure, and walked towards the mountains.

"Damn Li Yuanwai, he's simply Li the Skinner! And those two stewards, they are truly hateful! Each one relies on their master's power and is arrogant. I really hate not being able to skin them alive." Zhang Chen walked in the mountains carrying the Luoyang shovel. Suddenly, a sound of flapping wings rang out, and then a large hornet flew past in front of him.

"It's a hornet. I'm going to find a hornet's nest today, and then raise an army of hornets. At least then I'll have the power to protect myself in the small village. Even if I really discover something dangerous, with the hornets to buy me time, I'll have time to run into the deep mountains and old forests." Zhang Chen watched the hornet's flight path, his heart stirred, and he followed it.

Zhang Chen roughly knew where the hornets' nests were in the mountains. After all, he often hunted in the deep mountains and old forests. He had a good idea of where to see hornets, and he had a general direction.

Zhang Chen followed in the mountains for five miles, then suddenly stopped, his eyes looking at an old pine tree that had grown for who knows how many years.

There was no hive on the pine tree, but at the base of the old pine tree, in the soil, there was a hole the size of a chicken egg, and hornets were constantly going in and out of the hole.

That's right, the hornet's nest is not built in a tree, but in the soil.

Zhang Chen closed his eyes and activated the Beast Mastery skill to sense. The next moment, countless lives were projected into his mind.

"So many hornets, probably seven or eight hundred! This is a very large hive!" Zhang Chen sensed the densely packed hornets in the soil, a look of caution in his eyes.

Strangely enough, the dragon energy in his body was circulating at this time. Facing the hornets in front of him, he actually felt a kind of inexplicable closeness. There was no fear in his heart. The feeling was as if he had an intuition that the hornets would never harm him.

At this time, a hornet noticed Zhang Chen's presence and buzzed out of the nest, circling around Zhang Chen but not daring to approach. Zhang Chen didn't know why, but he actually sensed a kind of goodwill from the hornet. So, Zhang Chen carefully reached out his hand, and the hornet gently landed in Zhang Chen's hand, happily crawling around, making Zhang Chen's heart itch.

"Oh, interesting! Interesting! A bit interesting!" Zhang Chen looked at the hornet with his eyes. The hornet was very large, as big as a baby's finger, and looked very intimidating. At this time, it was lying in Zhang Chen's palm like a good baby.

"I have dragon energy on my body, so I can be close to the beasts of heaven and earth? That's right, the dragon is the king of beasts. Even if I only have a wisp of dragon energy, I still have the dragon's might on my body." Zhang Chen's mind flashed, and he gently stretched out his finger to pinch the hornet, picked it up, and looked at it: "Ordinary people will swell for at least seven or eight days after being stung by a hornet. Hornets are small and agile. If you don't prepare a net-like tool in advance, you can't defend against hornets at all."

At this time, hornets were constantly flying out of the hornet's nest, like a group of children, rushing towards Zhang Chen, crawling around Zhang Chen and constantly playing.

"Later, I will go to the mountains to check the traps, and then get some meat to feed the hornets, and guarantee that the hornets will be raised plump and white." Zhang Chen took the hornets down one by one, but the hornets clung to Zhang Chen and refused to leave. Zhang Chen could only shake his sleeves to make a driving motion, drive the hornets away from his body, and then turned to walk towards the mountain traps.

Today's traps yielded two pheasants and one wild duck.

Looking at the tied-up prey, Zhang Chen's face did not show much joy, but was filled with an unspeakable helplessness: "Pheasants and wild ducks are not worth much. It is wishful thinking to collect enough rent money with these little things, unless you hunt large prey, then you can sell it for a good price."

Zhang Chen carried the pheasants and wild ducks all the way to the tomb, and then his eyes looked at the stone tablet. Sure enough, the stone tablet had experience points falling down again. However, today's experience points were relatively small, only a red light group, with '+100' written on it.

"Although it's small, it's better than the large quantity!" Zhang Chen looked at the light group under the stone tablet, and without thinking, directly collected the experience points.

【Name: Zhang Chen】

【1 Skill (Second Order): Light of the True God (0/5000)】

【2 Skill (Unranked): Dragon Qi (0/2000)】

【Points: 2850】

"Almost there! Almost there this time!" Zhang Chen looked at the experience points, the corners of his mouth slightly raised. Today's experience points must break through 3,000, and it is not far from the 5,000 experience points for upgrading.

"A bit interesting." Zhang Chen looked at the distance with his eyes, a hint of joy in his eyes, and then the next moment the whole person was full of energy, rolled up his sleeves and worked hard, first killed the chickens and ducks, and directly used the blood to irrigate the stone tablet. As Zhang Chen irrigated with blood, the stone tablet was like a blood-sucking sponge, directly absorbing all the blood cleanly.

"Speaking of which, could this stone tablet be some great demon? Or is the stone tablet itself a great demon? If I irrigate it like this, will I release the demon? Or will I cultivate the demon? But I need experience points now!" Zhang Chen muttered to himself, but his hands were not slow.

Who cares what demons are, can they accumulate experience points and upgrade faster than himself?

Even if it is a demon, what can it do? As long as it can provide him with a steady stream of experience points, he, Zhang Chen, dares to raise demons.

After feeding the stone tablet, Zhang Chen looked up and down, and after not finding the harm of the stone tablet, he turned around with satisfaction and picked up the chisel to start the great cause of chiseling frozen soil.

The chisel was clanging, making Zhang Chen's palms numb, and he couldn't help but curse: "It's getting harder and harder to chisel down below. It's even harder than chiseling stone. At this rate, when will I be able to chisel open that damn tomb? But the more it is like this, the more it proves that this great tomb is extraordinary, and there are good things inside."

The cave was filled with cold air, and the clanging sound kept ringing. I don't know how long he dug before Zhang Chen dug half a frame of soil, and then his body was frozen numb, so he had to collect the soil and take it to the outside to bask in the sun.
