5 Arriving at the Base Camp!

Even though Talas Talim was happy, he still had some problems [Now, the only problems left are these 'EvoPoints' and 'Beast-Slots', and I have no freaking idea how and where to get those… Nutrients are not a problem, since I feel that I will get it sooner or later with my progress.]

Then he proceeds to open the next one on the other panel.

<<Beast-Morphs>>

>>>Level 3 (40/5000 XP)

He was now a level 3 mosquito and he was quite proud of it. Then he saw his skill was only five percent away from being upgraded so he was excited about it too. The evolution paths now have increased, now it's time from him to check what's this second evolution that he got was.

>Evolution Paths: 2

"Do you want to evolve to << Boned-Needle Mosquito>>?"

[Just as I thought, the higher my mosquito level is, the more evolution paths will be discovered! This << Boned-Needle Mosquito>> though, its name is quite cool and I am tempted to evolve! But, my curiosity and greediness to unlock new evolution paths on higher levels are tingling, and my gut tells me to say 'No'…] He followed his guts and declined the evolution.

He still thinks that's still too early to evolve, and besides, there are many blood bags that are waiting for him in the soldier's base camp. He thought he can still push it more, and gain one more level, so he made up his plan and delayed his evolution.

While he was lost in his thought, when suddenly…

*I will sing this for youooOO and I will squeal if I have tooooOO!*

*You freaking mosquitoooOO!*

Talas Talim was hit by the high pitch sound waves and he spat a small bit of blood with his tiny mosquito body. He knew without looking that it was the mockingbird that hurt him while singing!

His face was paled and his insides were like flipping. He wants to fly but his body seems paralyze! His brain was running, thinking all kinds of tricks that he can use at the moment. But time was not on his side the least… But the carriage was!

The carriage started moving and because of the rocky road and uneven terrain it had a few bumps. And that was enough for him to use to make himself fall outside of the carriage.

"Thud!"

The fall didn't hurt him that much compared to the sound waves, but still his body weakened due to some injuries. Lucky enough the bird stops singing due to the loss of its target. He was confused because it seems that he was the only one who heard the bird sing, so he knew that bird was really targeting him.

He was recuperating and slowly stabilizing his body when heard something behind him. It was the wheel of the cart behind the carriage. But he knew it will not hit him and suddenly thought…

The wheel on the other side of the cart where he was standing was closing in very fast. When the wheel was close enough, he jump and sticks his legs on the side of the turning wheel. When the side of the turning wheel that he was stuck on was already reaching enough height, he jumps again, and this time he sticks on the side of body of the cart. And from there, he slowly and sneakily finds a safe spot in a tight corner to resume recovering his injuries.

While he was recuperating, he was already forming thousands of plots to get revenge on the bird! [F*cking bird, sooner or later I will skewer you and grilled you! I will make barbeque out of you! Just you wait! ] He was already cursing the bird in his mind, and if cursing can kill the bird would have already die a thousand times. Because of exhaustion and weakened body his eyes started to close slowly, and finally he fell asleep.

Half an hour later…

"We're here! Faster! Get the injured soldiers to available medical tents and take the heroes who have fallen to near town to have a proper burial! Inform their families if they have one!" The injured troop's captain shouted the ordered with grief, and after a while new arriving soldiers from the camp takes their separate roles.

Talas Talim woke up, the shout was too loud that it made his eyes instantly opened. He realize that his body was already fully recovered and that made him sigh of relief.

"Transfer the weapons and armor to the caravans and immediately head to the north border! Knight's Commander Pentaghast needs any amount of weapons and armors on their side! Some Rank B beasts have appeared there, knight's chief Rasho's assistant ordered this matter of transfer so make haste!" The same voice shouted and many soldiers arrive and start moving the items from the horse carriage to the caravan.

Talas Talim was shocked to hear that in the north there were already Rank B beasts invading! He can't even imagine how these people can handle it. Then again, he doesn't even know the strength of the Knight's Commander Pentaghast so he doesn't dare to predict the outcome.

"And take this Songstress mockingbird to Lady Edina! Carry it carefully even though it's not aggressive, it's still a beast!" The voice was the same but now it's full of respect specially the part when he spoke the name 'Lady Edina'. Two men immediately took the caged bird from the last carriage where Talas Talim was close to.

When he saw the bird taken out from the carriage, Talas Talim eyes was full of resentment like he wants to strangle that bird neck! But the bird didn't saw him and just keeps humming while the two men carrying the cage where the bird was, heading inside the camp.

Talas Talim stretch his body and did some slight movements to see if there's still injury that are unnoticed. After he confirms that there was none, he straight fly to the sky trying to gain height to clearly look at this base camp.

He was thirty meters up in the air when he stops and look at his surroundings and finally laid his eyes on the camp. The camp has twenty hectares of land area and it was barricaded with something that look likes a bamboo. It has six watchtowers, but if you look closely the tower was badly made, one look and you know it was made in rush, but still it was acceptable. There were so many tents that were set-up, big and small, white and brown and some soldiers were practicing in the fighting pit while others were so busy doing their roles all over the place. From what he sees this camp seems to be temporary camp or a medical point. That's because from the information the he heard this camp is close to east and north border it was a perfect spot for a medical point or ration checkpoint.

After he was done observing, he starts his preparation for the collection of blood.

His first plan was, go collect blood from all of the livestock that are here in this camp and if possible sucks the blood of some watch door there. While doing this he can keeps collecting some blood safely, while getting familiar with the base and getting some information. It was 'Kill three birds with one stone plan' the he thought of.

When he finished organizing his thoughts, he moves. He flies swiftly and silently heading straight to the north of the base camp. After flying for a while, he finally saw where the livestock is located. There were basic fences on the surrounding of the livestock and it seems it was build in a rush. Inside the livestock there are cattle, goats, and chickens. When he was close enough he can also see some of his fellow mosquitoes and flies, but he didn't bother with them and just rush to the real deal. The first one that he bit was the cow, next was the chicken and after that he chase some goat at bit it.

"Ding!"

"Cow (No Rank) blood's sucked!"

"Chicken (No Rank) blood's sucked!"

"Goat (No Rank) blood's sucked!"

>+0 XP!

...….

"Ding!"

"Evolution Paths Discovered!"

...….

After an hour of flying and looking around he finally got some information. Big white tents were the tents were most critically injured soldier goes while the small white tents are for those with small injury.

The brown tents are the place uninjured soldiers rest specially the big one, while the small ones are for highly priority personnel such us the doctors, priest, and troop's leaders.

Talas Talim flies to one of the big brown tent he was close to, he wants sucks the blood of the healthy soldiers rather than the injured ones. He still has some conscience and he still has some lingering affection towards humanity because he was a human too once. So, if he can't help them at least he doesn't do trouble for them too… at least he can bite once per person so it don't affect them greatly.

He was now inside the tent and he looks around and sees that they are at least twenty soldiers, some soldiers are talking, some are exercising, and some are sleeping. The sleeping ones are his perfect targets, and that's why he bit them fast, smooth, and stealthy. He flies from one sleeping soldier to another bit after bit!
