5: Support each other

Wriggling its 1.5-meter python body, it quickly came to the living room and found Shen Ying on the sofa, deeply asleep.

Seeing this, Qingyang gently bit the blanket that had slipped off beside her and covered her with it.

Perhaps because the movement was too loud, Shen Ying slowly opened her eyes.

After noticing Qingyang's figure, she couldn't help but say happily, "You're finally awake, I thought you were sick. It's been three days."

"These past few days, several groups of people came and went, but I sent them all away. Are you hungry? I'll get you some eggs."

Because his body size had increased, this time Qingyang swallowed a full fifteen quail eggs before he was barely full.

Afterwards, Qingyang looked at his attributes.

【Species: Black Pattern Mutated Young Python (Fierce Beast).】

【Realm: 0th Tier.】

【Strength: 0.6.】

【Speed: 1.】

【Defense: 0.9.】

【Devour Points: 0.25.】

【Skill: Winter Black-striped Freeze (Can instantly release -27℃ low temperature) Cooldown: 24 hours.】

Next, one person and one python began talking about what had happened in the past few days.

Qingyang primarily typed, while Shen Ying chatted verbally.

In three days, the news frequently reported on television had completely caused people to panic.

The large-scale wave of people returning home caused ordinary citizens to be filled with anxiety.

One of the most important pieces of news was that a small Western country had actually been directly flattened by a swarm of cannibal ants.

Swarming densely, like bio-engineered creatures, the cannibal ants, as large as an adult's arm, made everyone who saw the news feel their scalp tingle.

Ultimately, the authorities classified these creatures as Fierce Beasts.

A type of Fierce Beast that grows by breaking through its own bloodline.

China was relatively more stable, with the authorities reacting at the fastest speed and establishing an official organization named Spirit User Organizations.

The Spirit User Organization organization, although no different from ordinary people, but these people seemed to possess some extraordinary abilities, directly replacing the authorities, took over the cities and began investigating for so-called potential dangers.

Compared to the wave of people returning to cities, Qingyang and Shen Ying, who were already in the countryside, didn't feel anything different.

Until evening arrived, after Qingyang swallowed five more quail eggs, he just curled up on the sofa and began attempting to say, "Increase Defense?"

As soon as the words fell, the attributes in Qingyang's mind instantly changed.

【Species: Black Pattern Young Python (Fierce Beast).】

【Realm: 0th Tier.】

【Strength: 0.6.】

【Speed: 1.】

【Defense: 1.2.】

【Devour Points: 0.】

【Skill: Winter Black-striped Freeze (Can instantly release -27℃ low temperature) Cooldown: 24 hours.】

He had saved 0.3 Devour Points and added them all to Defense, making Qingyang clearly feel at this moment that the scales all over his body were tightening, and his defense had also significantly increased.

Seeing this scene, Qingyang's two cold vertical pupils flickered slightly.

"As expected."

In the following week, Qingyang would devour ten quail eggs every day, gaining 0.1 Devour Points.

This day at noon, as the roar of vehicles came, the long-lost peace was finally broken.

In the darkness by the door, Qingyang raised his upper body, and his pupils coldly stared outside the door.

Seemingly like personnel from the epidemic prevention station, after drawing blood from Shen Ying for a check, someone else entered the room and checked it again before the vehicles drove away.

Through asking Shen Ying, he learned that these few people claimed to be from some kind of checkpoint and asked Shen Ying if there had been any abnormalities in her body recently,

After also informing her about some safety issues, they left.

Clearly, the current nationwide preliminary screening had begun.

On the evening of the same day Shen Ying had her blood drawn and body checked, the news directly announced some things that seemed extremely bizarre.

Realms, strength realms from Ninth Rank to First Rank, and even included images from ancient books, saying they could enhance physical constitution, etc.

Simultaneously with the news broadcast, a text message was also sent to mobile phones via MMS.

In the MMS, human meridians and methods for absorbing spiritual energy caused Shen Ying and Qingyang to look at each other, momentarily unsure what was happening in this world.

On the sofa, while looking at the MMS, Shen Ying said somewhat softly, "A Yang, those white beads in the cellar..."

Hearing this, Qingyang instantly raised his head and quickly typed, saying, "I forgot if you didn't mention it. Take them out, take them all out."

"Since the authorities have already sent these things, tonight you should study according to what's on here."

A few minutes later, when a cloth bag was opened and placed on the table, they saw beads like pearls, emitting a pure white light, looking exceptionally beautiful.

zhen crystal, these were the items that Captain Fang had mentioned back then.

And the eleven people were all killed by the Mountain Lord, also for the sake of these so-called zhen crystal.

Without too much hesitation, after Qingyang nodded towards Shen Ying, he directly picked up a treasured crystal in his mouth and began to try it first.

As for Shen Ying beside him, she also watched Qingyang nervously.

One treasured crystal was swallowed, in less than ten seconds, as a prompt appeared, Qingyang's vertical pupils instantly contracted.

【Devour Points +1.】

Just a thing the size of a little fingernail was actually equivalent to the devour count of one hundred quail eggs.

At this moment, Qingyang also finally knew why he had felt such a strong craving back then.

On the other hand, Shen Ying beside him was learning the method taught on the phone, but was slow to feel that kind of "qi".

Feeling helpless, Shen Ying could only give up on becoming a so-called Spirit User Organization and said with a smile, "Spirit User Organization or not, as long as I have your protection in the future, that's enough, isn't it?"

Hearing this, Qingyang's heart softened, he raised his head and rubbed against Shen Ying's arm, and swallowed another treasured crystal.

【Devour Points +1.】

Feeling that this stuff must be the so-called miraculous elixir, Qingyang simply began to devour them one by one.

There were a total of fifty-two zhen crystal in the cloth bag, but under Qingyang's rapid devouring, more than half instantly disappeared.

After twenty-five zhen crystal went down, Qingyang's entire 1.5-meter black and gold python body clearly felt a swelling, as if there was too much energy, difficult to digest.

Seeing this, Qingyang also once again looked at his attributes.

【Species: Black Pattern Young Python (Fierce Beast).】

【Realm: 0th Tier.】

【Strength: 0.6.】

【Speed: 1.】

【Defense: 1.2.】

【Devour Points: 25.7.】

【Skill: Winter Black-striped Freeze (Can instantly release -27℃ low temperature) Cooldown: 24 hours.】

This time was truly a great harvest. Qingyang thought about the current situation, especially after looking at the big mountain outside the window.

He immediately decided to put all his Devour Points into Strength.

After all, in this remote mountainous area, the entire home only had Shen Ying, a weak woman. Qingyang must first gain a certain amount of strength in order to protect her.
