They were still young

(Well, thank you for my part, now if there is nothing else I will leave) I said as I returned to the normal world from the place I was as I wanted to test if it was true that I appeared just in the equivalent place in the world normal and just when the landscape changed again I could see how there was a silhouette of a salamander in the water but it was immediately filled by the other water that moved but that did not prevent even me from feeling a slight pull due to the displacement of the Water

(This is great) I said quickly while I saw clearly how it was the place I had been a few moments ago although for me it was a full night, coming out of my daze I quickly began to continue descending the bottom of the lake biting without anything it bothered me so before I knew it more crabs were coming out of the hole exploring the new lake bottom

(I wonder how deep the hole is) I said to myself in discomfort since I was feeling a bit of discomfort every time I dug deeper, it wasn't the kind of scary discomfort like the first time I approached the hole, it was plus the kind of discomfort that was in the water was not harmful but it felt weird but I didn't want to think about it too much so I just started swimming quickly to where the crabs were

[Congratulations host, you have obtained the skill [Smash Lvl. 4] just like crabs' pincers now their palms can break a being in half or cause considerable damage, currently, it can only inflict flesh wounds]

(System, I have a question, why didn't I get the skill from the other crabs?) I said quickly as I swam towards another equally large crab but it was funny since the crab seemed to be considerably larger in size and slightly reddish in tone than the others. and although I had already discovered that it had to do with the difference in age or simply that the other crabs were too weak

[It is a simple host, it is because the specimens that I devour were still young and had not had time to fully develop]

(What kind of weird crabs, putting the youngest on the outer edge of their den this doesn't make sense unless the younger ones are actually on the outside to protect themselves, but from what? And to start with what kind of livelihood may be at the bottom of the earth besides some worms?) I said to myself with skepticism since I did not believe that there were many good things under the earth and also because I was not sure where I was but could well being that there is an underground cave which would be great since that would give me access to more places to explore and new hostile creatures to kill, so without wasting time I began to swim and immediately devour all the crabs

[Smash Lvl. 4] -> [Crush Lvl. 7]

[You have level up]

[You have level up]

(Not bad, it seems that I can also increase the level of my abilities by eating beings with the same ability, this is not bad at all) I said to myself with emotion but quickly that emotion became an impulse that made me start eating the ground faster and faster finding several crabs on the way which made me go up 5 more levels just eating the crabs but it was getting harder and harder to level up but on the other hand, I was gaining [+ 8.2 XP] for every second which helped me by going up 3 levels so I'm currently at a considerably high level

(It seems that it is about time that I face my second evolution, although I have a doubt, my next evolution will take my salamander or axolotl form as the base for the next one) I thought to myself while continuing to eat parts of the ground quickly without stopping in the least but for some reason, I couldn't get this question out of my mind since I was looking forward to my second evolution as it would lead me to get my human form faster but I was also curious to know what kind of being I would become

And although I didn't care too much either because while my next evolution was a little better than the previous one it was enough for me it was enough since I had no idea that it could wait for me but I was sure that even as long as I had a mouth then It would be fine since I could bite and cause a lot of damage and even if I didn't have it I would just wait for a while to be able to evolve getting a new mouth and thus return to my hunting style but I would still find it a little worrying for what I was absorbed in my thoughts while eating dirt that I did not realize that several crabs had come out of the hole thanks to my 'rebuilding' activities

(... I think I should be more careful of my surroundings) I said as I wagged my tail hitting the crabs that were crushing my tail between their pincers which honestly felt like a massage but without letting that matter I gave I turned around quickly and bit directly at the first crab I saw but I was honestly totally shocked as these crabs did me quite a bit of damage even after the stat boosts considering the other crabs only dealt me ​​less than .01 HP damage and even 1 of them I ask to cause more than 1 HP of damage which made me slightly alert since the damage caused was not normal since my orichalcum scales were still active
