I picked up skill fragments in the demon world

People are all like Lord Ye who professed to love dragons; everyone online calls for a 'small brain tiger,' but when a real tiger comes to your side, you'll probably be too scared to move.

Zhang Chen was the same way. When he didn't see monsters, he always envied the idea of a fox spirit coming to suck him dry. But when a fox spirit really appeared in reality, everything changed. You'll find that your heart is now filled with only fear.

Looking at the golden finger, Zhang Chen nervously swallowed, his gaze falling on the interface:

【Name: Zhang Chen】

【Skill: Some Mysterious Golden Light (0/50)】

【Points: 140】

"Upgrade!"

Zhang Chen looked at the golden finger, a hint of anticipation in his eyes. The next moment, Zhang Chen's points evaporated directly, and then the entire golden finger interface refreshed again:

【Name: Zhang Chen】

【Skill (Tier 1): Evil-Exorcising Golden Light (0/500)】

【Points: 90】

Zhang Chen only felt a heat in his dantian, and then the next moment, boundless golden light burst forth within his spiritual world. His entire spiritual world seemed to be filled with that dazzling, ultimate golden light.

That golden light was vast and mighty, like a blazing sun, able to sweep away all evil and ward off all disasters. Wherever the golden light passed, misfortune retreated.

"And then?" Zhang Chen's eyes gradually regained their light, and he stared blankly at his body. It seemed that nothing had changed, only that the wisp of breath in his dantian had become denser and thicker, and his breathing had become longer.

That was all!

"Is that it?" Zhang Chen stood blankly in the room, feeling a little confused for a moment, not knowing what the use of this Evil-Exorcising Golden Light was. He seemed to have gained a skill, but it also seemed useless.

He only felt that golden light flowed within every pore of his body, illuminating his body. Zhang Chen even closed his eyes, and in a daze, he seemed to see his internal organs, saw his beating heart, but soon a black mist emerged from his body, obscuring his internal organs and countless meridians. Only a wisp of golden light flickered in his dantian, illuminating the immediate vicinity and dispelling the mist.

"This is...?" Zhang Chen opened his eyes, a look of surprise and uncertainty in his eyes. He felt that he had indeed seen a large area of mist existing in his body, and it was not an illusion.

"What is the use of this Evil-Exorcising Golden Light?" Thoughts flashed in Zhang Chen's mind, and then his gaze fell on the 'Tier 1' behind the golden finger: "My Evil-Exorcising Golden Light is currently a Tier 1 skill, and the points required for the next tier upgrade require five hundred. As long as I have enough points to accumulate, can I upgrade infinitely at that time? I'll upgrade to ten thousand tiers of Evil-Exorcising Golden Light first."

Zhang Chen couldn't see the mist in his body clearly and didn't know why there was such a change, but he had a feeling that if the golden light dispelled the mist and illuminated his whole body, then he would definitely have incredible changes.

"It's just that to upgrade to the next level, I need five hundred points, which is not a small number." Zhang Chen looked at the useless Evil-Exorcising Golden Light, feeling a little hesitant, wondering if he should concentrate on collecting experience points in the future, and then find a reliable skill and add the points to it, instead of adding it to the useless Evil-Exorcising Golden Light. But thinking of the threat of the fox spirit, and that he had only obtained one skill after waiting for so long, he felt that he should not wait any longer. This Evil-Exorcising Golden Light, as a Tier 1 skill, must have its use, it's just that he hasn't developed it yet.

After thinking for a moment, Zhang Chen picked up the basket, animal trap, and rope on the ground, and then walked into the mountains with a heavy heart, as his three meals for the day were still not settled.

In fact, when Zhang Chen first awakened the golden finger, he also tried to evolve his ability to make traps and chop firewood into skills, but unfortunately, Zhang Chen thought too much, and no skill prompts appeared at all.

Zhang Chen was a loyal fan of 'Man vs. Wild' in his previous life, and he had learned countless methods of making traps. In this world with abundant resources, Zhang Chen could be said to have meat for every meal. If it weren't for the exploitation of the fox spirit next door, Zhang Chen would have already become well-off. The main reason is that Zhang Chen's methods of making traps are much better than those in this world, so the traps basically never fail.

Today's prey in the mountains was still abundant. Zhang Chen hunted two pheasants, and the most important thing was that he hunted a wild rabbit that the fox liked to eat the most.

"In a few days, when I solve the fox spirit, I can try to make gunpowder and use gunpowder to blow up some large animals. Then I can also turn over and sing as a liberated serf." Zhang Chen was in a good mood. He directly roasted the pheasant in the mountains, and then contentedly ate until his belly bulged. He looked at the pheasant and the rabbit, and after a little hesitation, Zhang Chen plucked the rabbit and roasted it, carefully hiding it in his arms as dinner, and then carried a pheasant home.

He knew that this pheasant couldn't be kept, as that damned fox spirit would never leave him any, so he didn't pluck it or process it.

"I only hope that this fox spirit will be a little ethical and leave me the wild rabbit! Of course, the most important thing is that this wild rabbit is not discovered by the fox spirit!" Zhang Chen muttered, carefully wrapping the wild rabbit with banana leaves, and then covering it with mud to seal the smell, and carefully using fire to dry the mud.

"Perfect!" Zhang Chen looked at it for a while, and felt that his wild rabbit was perfectly sealed, and even the smell was sealed off. The fox spirit would definitely not be able to smell it, so he stuffed the wild rabbit into his clothes.

Fortunately, the clothes in this world were loose, and a roasted rabbit could be put in without showing any abnormalities.

It was noon when Zhang Chen returned home leisurely. Hearing the sound of Zhang Chen opening the door, the window next door suddenly opened, and a fluffy white head poked out, looking at Zhang Chen expectantly, especially when it saw that Zhang Chen was actually carrying a pheasant back, the fox's eyes lit up, and saliva was about to flow out.

Zhang Chen expressionlessly swept across the next yard, especially when he saw the fox spirit looking forward to it, and his whole body was a little liver-aching with anger. This fox spirit was really too annoying!

It was simply blatant, bullying him, Zhang Chen, for being an honest man!

How could he, Zhang Chen, suffer such humiliation?

"It's too much!" Zhang Chen hated it so much that his teeth itched, but he still walked into the house calmly, hung the pheasant on the shelf, this time Zhang Chen deliberately wrapped the rope around seven or eight times, firmly wrapping the pheasant on the shelf, and then sat aside calmly, quietly watching the pheasant, waiting for the experience points to drop.

Not every time the fox spirit stole something would experience points drop. Zhang Chen had not yet found the pattern of experience points dropping, otherwise he would not have collected only forty experience points in three months.

However, just as Zhang Chen was waiting patiently, this time Zhang Chen discovered something unusual.

Just as he was dozing off, a burst of light flashed deep within his pupils, instantly jolting Zhang Chen awake. He subconsciously raised his head, his pupils shrinking as a look of shock crossed his face, quickly masked over.

What did he see?

He saw a young woman in white, with fair skin and a beautiful face, mischievously grinning as she walked through the wall, heading straight for Zhang Chen's pheasant.

Most importantly, the young woman's figure was ethereal, like a wandering ghost from a novel.

“I actually saw the fox spirit in action?” A chill ran down Zhang Chen's spine. He watched as the young woman stood before the pheasant, a satisfied smile on her face. Just as she was about to reach out and grab the pheasant, she suddenly turned her head and looked at Zhang Chen. Meeting his gaze, the young woman was startled, hopping back a couple of steps like a thief caught by the owner, muttering, “This kid can see me? No way, right? Shouldn't be, right?”

At this moment, Zhang Chen's heart was in his throat. He quickly relaxed his mind, pretending not to see the young woman, and stared at the pheasant behind her, gritting his teeth in his heart, “I'll see how my pheasant disappears.”

The young woman was still a little uneasy. She walked around Zhang Chen a few times, and seeing that he was still intently staring at the pheasant, unaware of her presence, she finally relaxed and reached out to take the pheasant away.

But who knew that the young woman would suddenly twitch her nose, as if she smelled something? Then, while twitching her nose, she sniffed the scent and came to Zhang Chen, her eyes fixed on Zhang Chen's chest. At this moment, she cursed, “Good kid, you're as cunning as a fox! Now you've learned to hide your skills. You clearly hunted a rabbit, but you didn't offer it to your grandma and dared to hide it! You're such a bad child.”

At this moment, Zhang Chen dared not move his eyes, staring at the pheasant in the distance. Facing the fox spirit so close, he couldn't help but secretly lament in his heart: 'Damn it, this fox spirit is too shrewd, isn't she? She can even find this out! I'm afraid I won't be able to keep this rabbit. I'll have to go hungry tonight.'

'Also, what form is this fox in now? Is it an astral projection?' Zhang Chen wondered to himself.

“Give it to grandma!” The fox spirit looked at Zhang Chen's chest and unceremoniously reached out her fair hand, directly reaching into Zhang Chen's clothes.

'Buzz~'

Just as the fox spirit's slender fingers touched Zhang Chen's clothes, suddenly, with Zhang Chen's breathing, a layer of golden light invisible to the naked eye burst out from the pores of his body. The fox spirit let out a miserable scream upon touching the golden light, and was actually beaten back to its original form, turning from a beautiful young woman into a thumb-sized illusory fox, staggering back to the house next door in a panic.

“Ah~”

A painful cry of a fox came from the house next door, stunning Zhang Chen, as if he was stunned by the scene before him.

“What's going on? Can my Evil-warding Golden Light restrain fox spirits?” Zhang Chen sat there dumbfounded, looking at the golden light bursting from his skin, his eyes filled with shock. The previous contempt and disdain for the golden finger had now turned into ecstasy: “Incredible! It's simply incredible! My golden light can actually restrain fox spirits?”

Zhang Chen felt that he was capable! He was very capable now!

Especially when Zhang Chen saw the bead that fell on the ground, his eyes were filled with even more surprise: Experience + 50.

“It's actually fifty experience points. This has never happened before. Could it be that I'm lucky today?” Zhang Chen was overjoyed.

[Name: Zhang Chen]

[Skill (Tier 1): Evil-warding Golden Light (0/500)]

[Points: 140]

“Could it be that the golden light hurt the fox spirit, so the experience points that exploded were more?” Zhang Chen wasn't a fool. Looking at the increased experience points, he made a guess in his heart.

Just as countless thoughts flashed through his mind, suddenly, a beautiful girl rushed out of the wall again. At this time, the beautiful girl was aggressive, pouting with grievance, her eyes filled with tears, as if Zhang Chen was an unforgivable villain who had done something bad.

Zhang Chen was nervous in his heart at this time, but pretended to be calm on his face, as if he didn't see the girl, just staring at his own pheasant, but panicking in his heart: “This fox spirit isn't going to be so angry that she wants to kill me, is she? Should I take the initiative to attack? But how should I attack? Should I pounce on her covered in golden light? I see that the girl is agile and ignores the obstacles of matter. I'm afraid I won't be able to pounce on her!”

The girl looked at the golden light flowing around Zhang Chen's body, her eyes filled with greed and incomprehension, but facing Zhang Chen's golden light, she hesitated to step forward, and could only curse: “Damn guy, what the hell is this thing, that actually hurt grandma's soul? Could this guy have encountered some strange object and become enlightened?”

The fox spirit circled around Zhang Chen angrily, and finally picked up a water ladle from the side and threw it at Zhang Chen's head from afar, hitting Zhang Chen with an 'ouch', and his forehead immediately became red and swollen. The golden light couldn't defend against physical attacks, and his forehead immediately swelled up:

“Damn guy, still pretending to deliberately not know who stole the chicken. Grandma, I've seen you peeking through the cracks in the wall every time my soul leaves my body to move things. I was just deliberately teasing you, pretending not to know. Hypocritical man, bad man! Damn bad man, you only know how to bully Nannan, see if Nannan doesn't beat you to death!”

The girl was aggressive and verbally abusive, obviously really angry, and picked up a spoon from the side and smashed it over again. This time Zhang Chen didn't dodge again, smashing his eye black and blue.

Seeing that the girl was about to smash again, Zhang Chen couldn't hold on anymore. If this continued, he would be smashed to death by the fox spirit sooner or later, so he pretended to be in pain and rolled around in the house, rolling towards the girl, scaring the girl pale, and wary of the golden light on Zhang Chen's body, she could only reluctantly leave with the pheasant.

The fox spirit left, Zhang Chen stopped rolling around in the house, and then looked at the disappearing pheasant, revealing a thoughtful look: “It seems that my previous peeping actions were discovered by the fox spirit long ago. The fox spirit pretended not to know, purely to tease me! My golden light seems to be able to restrain and attack the fox spirit on a primordial spirit level, but it can't defend against physical power.”

“Before, I thought the fox spirit was using the moving method, but now it seems that I misunderstood. The other party is actually having an astral projection.” Zhang Chen was secretly surprised: “Why astral projection, instead of using demon magic?”
