Ep. 105

"I told you everything I know! "Please save me!"

A human pilot controlled by a parasite pleads with me.

As I was chewing on the cult pilot's arm, I winked at a group of tooth fairies.

Then the man-eating fleas surrounding the pilots jumped at their prey with joy.

"Don't do this Maaaaaaaa!"

The pilots of the crashed aircraft were all summed up with this.

The place I am currently in is the continent of Seintopia 02 on a planet called PH-101. The ecosystem is similar to that of the primitive Earth, providing favorable conditions for life.

But this planet is never as beautiful as it seems.

'It's the blue hell.'

The creatures that inhabit this planet all have powerful powers, so users of even intermediate levels are likely to be hunted, let alone hunt them.

Additionally, hostile Wolf NPCs live around areas where valuable resources are buried, and among these, Named Wolff occasionally appears.

'It's on a different level from the guys I caught and ate.'

Named Wolff, which rarely appears, is very powerful. To the extent that even today's country cannot easily guarantee victory.

Because of this, it is difficult to attack this planet unless you are a player with skills equivalent to a ranker or a large clan.

On the other hand, even top players or large clans that can easily conquer the planet cannot monopolize this place.

This is because PH-101 is a planet protected by a cult for religious reasons.

Even if other forces want to monopolize it, the game system makes it impossible to carry out any construction activities or build a fort. Even if you are a cult player, you can only stay here for a certain period of time.

'That's why I chose this planet.'

With PH-101, you can freely secure high-quality genetic essence without being checked by other forces.

'It's supposed to be that way.'

When I interrogated the pirate pilot, I noticed something different from the game.

Currently, this place was occupied by a very powerful cartel among the Space Dogs.

The name of the cartel is 'Humanity'.

This is an unusual case considering that Space Dog's cartels often have the leader's last name as their first name.

'Plus, humanity.'

Before I quit Space Survival, there was a clan with a similar name among the clans led by the ranker.

Strangely enough, although the clan leader was a woman, only men were accepted as clan members.

Thanks to this, I remember a lot of negative comments were made in the community about the queen bee clan and all that.

'…Isn't that what I, the main enemy of the community, should say?'

Anyway, I could guess why the Humanity Cartel could occupy this place.

As seen in the cult pilot I'm currently consuming, most members of Humanity are said to be cults.

Thanks to this, the Humanity Cartel was said to be able to come and go on this planet. This would have been impossible in a game, but it was a variable that arose because it was reality.

'Plus, the leader said he had connections with the cult's ruling class.'

That means that the leader of Humanity is at least a high-ranking cult higher than the Yak Horn Cult.

I don't know why someone like that would pirate, but I don't need to know that.

'Thanks to you, you can collect genetic essence and meet the evolution conditions, killing two birds with one stone.'

I devoured the remaining remains of the cult and retrieved the Tooth Fairies.

According to the pilot, Humanity leaves this planet periodically for smuggling.

'If I have a boat, it will be easier for me to get out.'

There are approximately 14 days left until the pirates leave.

We must capture the ship before they leave.

'Previously.'

I enabled a semi-transparent textbox.

Calvin's Hulk Mutant A number of useful characteristics were acquired while capturing the metallic gremlins in the I-97 sector.

An example is the 'protective color' trait, which was created by combining traits obtained from the Rhino Hulk Mutant and the Metallic Gremlin.

Currently, the inner skin and carapace are covered with small scales that are hard to see unless you look closely. If you crouch and do nothing for 10 seconds, these scales automatically move and change color.

How it changes is that it changes into something similar to the surrounding environment. It was thanks to this protective color that the aircraft carrier did not spot me when I crashed and was hiding under a large tree.

'It doesn't change the body, but it gets caught by detection equipment…'

Now, I have radio jamming properties. It will not be easy for nearby enemies to find me, as I may detect it from a distance where the radio jamming effect cannot reach.

In addition, there is a bone knife obtained from the gorilla-like Hulk mutant and an enhanced sucker obtained from the metallic gremlin with the infection enhancement trait.

I put strength into my upper right arm, one of my fighting arms. Normally, a vampire tentacle should have protruded from the inside of the palm, but instead, a bladed bone curved in a strange shape protruded out.

It was similar in shape to the back arm that appears when using the symbol of hunting, but there were differences.

The bone blades attached to the arms on the back are thin but sharp, making them useful for cutting and stabbing, but the bone axes are thick and heavy, so they are specialized for smashing down enemies like kukris or axes.

'I say this all the time.'

New weapons are always welcome.

After retrieving the bone axe, I climbed up the giant tree using my fighting arms and feet.

Originally, Aimorphs had organs attached to the inside of their feet similar to the ones used by insects to attach themselves to walls.

However, due to the Nightmare Horizon effect, my body became heavy and it was no longer possible to climb walls, but it turned out to be a good trait.

The tiny suckers on my hands and feet helped me climb trees with ease.

There are many trees on this continent that are much larger than the redwoods, which are said to be the largest trees on Earth, so the tree I was climbing was able to withstand my weight.

As I climbed to the top of the tree, a seemingly endless jungle unfolded.

Creatures similar to pterodactyls flew around in the cloudless sky, and the cries of animals could be heard in the jungle below.

Seeing that there was a hollow area where the blue sky met the green jungle, the cruiser that fired the main guns was definitely located over there.

When I turned my gaze to the other side, I saw the horizon filled with blue.

There will be No. 26 and Aadhai in the sea.

'…Let's pick the kids up after they're safe.'

There is a reason why you don't need to pick them up when dealing with strong enemies.

There are many dangerous creatures here in PH-101, so it is easy for you to get injured if you travel with me.

You need to focus on fighting pirates and dangerous creatures, but trying to protect them can end up going astray.

'If it were like before, I would have used them as bait…'

Now, I'm also in a relationship with them.

If No. 26 and Aadhai are seriously injured or die, I honestly can't guarantee whether they will be able to maintain their senses.

'When fighting in the jungle, the one with the most patience wins.'

Emotional agitation is directly related to defeat.

'The sea is No. 26's home ground, so it will be safer than here.'

It would be much easier to stay near an open beach or island than in a jungle where there are many obstacles to flying in Aadhai.

'…Because they are both smart guys.'

Once I get rid of all the pirates, I'll go pick you up.

After organizing my thoughts, I came down from the top.

There is a small pirate camp near here.

After reaching halfway down the tree, I extended my tentacles and crossed over to another tree.

As I moved between giant trees using eroding tentacles and reinforced suckers, I could feel the movement of creatures below.

All kinds of monsters are roaming the forest, from insect-like creatures the size of dogs to gigantic dinosaur-like creatures tens of meters tall.

The expression "monster" is by no means an exaggeration. Here at PH-101, creatures as small as a newborn can easily kill an armed soldier.

'If you eat those, there will be no problem until the next evolution.'

Of course, I have been in and out of this place a lot in the game, so I know everything about what creatures live here and how to attack them.

As I was moving through the trees, a creature that looked like a mix between a monkey and a bat attacked me from above.

It is a creature called a wood devil, which hides on top of an old tree as it does now, and then attacks and eats creatures passing below.

Although it is a creature at the bottom of the planet's food chain, it is nicknamed the Newbie Slayer thanks to its quick movements, strong strength, and high intelligence.

'The problem is that I'm not a newbie.'

I already knew that he was targeting me.

Without even turning my head, I shook my tail and threw a stinger at it.

"Quick?!"

The guy whose body is stiff is about to fall to the floor in the same position he was in when he jumped. A tentacle came out from my back and caught the falling creature.

Then I pulled out a vampire tentacle from my fighting arm and swung it over the tree on the other side.

"Kwiik!"

The wood devil, which was disguised as a leaf, struggled while being grabbed by the vampire tentacles. When I applied force to the tentacle, its bones broke and its entire body was crushed and misshapen.

I did not lose my vigilance even as one was leisurely swallowing with its eroding tentacles and the other was sucking blood with its vampiric tentacles.

'There must be one more.'

Wood devils always hunt in groups of three. As I expected, the wood devil on the tree near the diagonal line is seen running away.

"Squeak!"

I grabbed the two and kicked the tree. My body glided between the giant trees and flew into the fleeing creature.

"Kwiik?!"

A wood devil gets excited as he sees me flying quickly.

The ax bone from my upper right hand smashed the guy's head. I quickly wrapped my tail around the guy who lost his head and was about to fall off.

'It's easy.'

I opened my mouth wide and chewed on the headless wood devil.

Since I used the teeth grip strength feature as an ingredient, my jaw strength is lower than before, but I was able to easily rip off a wood devil.

'…It tastes healthy.'

Wood Devil's meat tasted like cheap soybean meat.

This is also the case when I ate Plantrizard in Space City, and all the guys with grass or trees in their names feel this way.

'I know that wood devils are carnivorous creatures, but why do they taste like soybean meat?'

Soybean meat is meat in name only, but the ingredients do not contain meat at all.

While thinking such trivial thoughts, I ate the remaining corpse.

After eating them all, I was about to eat the one with the blood-sucking tentacles, but another predator appeared when I smelled blood.

The name of the guy with the body of a black panther and the legs of a spider is Night Stalker.

It has the material characteristic of a thorn-hair shooting tail characteristic.

It lunged at me, flexing its eight legs quickly.

'Poison doesn't work on that guy.'

You have to fight it in a different way than the wood devil that was neutralized with thorn hair.

I didn't resist and stayed still. In an instant, it lunged at me, revealing its thick fangs and biting my neck.

No, I tried to bite him.

If my outer shell wasn't strong, I would have been bitten by its fangs and been on the brink of death.

The Night Stalker's venom is more lethal than any neurotoxin I have. It spreads so quickly that it is difficult to use antidote.

It would be safe to say that death would be difficult to avoid unless one was immune to the poison itself.

'But such a powerful dokdo is only useful if it enters the body of an opponent.'

The Nightstalker's teeth are not sharp enough to pierce my outer shell, which is stronger than the outer walls of the ship.

"Khuong?"

Only then did he realize something was wrong and tried to back away, but it was too late. Because my four fighting arms were holding onto his body.

I held on and applied strength to the four arms. Due to my strong force, the Night Stalker was crumpled like an empty plastic bottle.

Internal organs spilled out of its tail, but I used my eroding tentacles to suck out every last bit of internal organs.

'There's definitely no time to rest since I'm here.'

My mouth chewed on the Nightstalker's body while the eroding tentacles sucked in its entrails.

Interestingly, this one tasted like a croissant.

The tentacle's mouth has no sense of taste, so I don't know what the intestines taste like, but I guess it originally tasted like a croissant sandwich.

After licking up the blood that had splattered on the tree, I set off again.

After that, as we moved through several raids, the pirate camp was right in front of us.

At that moment, the sun was setting in the jungle.
