Food material

I landed some distance from the beach where there was a hint of life presence.

I put Ana and Lime down.

Then Lime returned to its original size and Yami came out of Ana's shadow.

We rested here for a while looking at the night sea.

Ana, who was silent, opened her eyes wide while looking at the vast ocean lit by the moonlight.

Is this your first time seeing Ana's sea ..?

Ana, who looks a little shocked, then answers my words.

"Yes..it's my first time seeing this much water .."

Ohh, this is called the ocean. Even though the water is very much, it can't be drunk directly and there are also many monsters roaming there ..

"W-why can't you drink the water ryuu-sama ..? Is it poisonous ..?"

It is not poisonous, there is only a lot of salt in the sea water ..

"Salt? The taste is salty and expensive, right ..?"

Yes ..

Wait why is it expensive?

"Why is salt dangerous?"

Salt is not dangerous but when you drink sea water for a long time you will become severely dehydrated and die ..

Ana nodded in understanding and seemed happy to get new knowledge.

It is my knowledge. Is this wrong? and also will my knowledge be the same as knowledge in this world?

This is clearly a fantasy world with lots of monsters in the storybook.

I have to anticipate that the laws of nature are very different from what I know.

I have never met humans but when I met Ana it proved that there are many races that are similar to human races in this world.

I have to go to that city later. I want to see civilization in this world.

I think we got enough rest.

Well it's time to find groceries!

Now we are walking towards the beach with Ana on top of my head, Yami and Lime who are walking side by side with me.

To be precise, Lime rolled like a ball beside me.

We headed towards the dunes which are close to the beach.

Seen from anywhere this is just an ordinary dune. But ... when I activate my life detection skill ...

Yup, this is a large crab hiding behind a sand dune.

Okay I have to let out my cool breath now.

Before I was going to tell you that I was going to breathe out my majestic fire, Lime rolled over quickly and then crashed her huge body into the dune.

* Bamm!

The sound of Lime's collision with the dunes was heard. Then the dune slowly collapsed and revealed the figure of a crab as big as me with very long claws and a very hard looking skin with all the thorns filling its body which is slightly darker than the sand here.

The crab immediately swung one of its pincers at Lime without noticing the sand that still covered her body.

The long pincers quickly and easily pierced Lime's body, which was bigger than the crab.

Lime !!

"Woof !!"

Yami and I immediately shouted at Lime.

I didn't save Lime right away because I remembered that Lime was immune to physical attacks.

Lime's body that was still stuck in the crab's claws began to collapse into water.

I was very worried and went straight to check Lime's status and it turned out that she wasn't all right.

Is Lime using his skills? even as lukewarm as the crab had not eroded his cell at all ...

Lime's body which became like water was moving alive began to wrap around or swallow the big crab.

The big crab didn't stay still and started swinging its long pincers here and there to get rid of Lime, even the spikes on her body started to grow and tried to stab Lime.

Since Lime's body turned into living water she easily dodged or exposed her body to an attack.

Even the parts of his body that were thrown out by the crab's pincers turned into another small Lime and returned to attack again.

The three of us who were watching from afar were speechless because of this one-sided battle between the two monsters.

Finally the crab fell limp and its body parts began to be eaten by Lime.

When I looked at the crab's status ... it was a C + rank with over 800 defense and attack and had quite a lot of defense and offense skills for a C rank monster.

Even the HP and Mp are quite a lot, but now they are completely drained.

I think Lime used [Life Drain] and [Mana Drain] skills to suffocate the crab and eat it.

Lime ate the crab's body until it was gone and left a few crab legs and pincers then rolled while dragging the crab body parts that he didn't eat using his tentacles over and stopped right in front of us.

Then Lime handed over the remains of the crab to me. Even though this is leftover but it's quite big too.

I sighed.

Lime .. I thank you for giving this leftover to me .. But .... didn't I tell you to diet? Look at your body now, it's getting bigger, right ..?

Yup Lime in front of me grew 2 meters bigger.

"trembling, trembling"

You forgot again ..?

"trembling, trembling .."

I let out a sigh.

All right, you can eat your prey but ... you also have to raise your [Body Changes] skill level so you can keep decreasing it by about 2 days ... and also increase your Mp recovery skill too ..

"trembling, trembling .."

Okay, if you understand..but don't eat too much huh ..

It is very dangerous when the body is very large. For example, when I was going to take back our prospective house, the path I made there wouldn't fit to accommodate Lime's current size, even though she shrank her body but if her Mp runs out Lime will definitely return to its original form and will fill the surrounding space.

I guess Yami and I will be fine if we get caught by his body, maybe? But what about Ana ..? It is certain that she will die crushed or crushed by Lime's suddenly enlarged body.

And if Lime's body is so big it will definitely stand out right? maybe a lot of monsters or humans will hunt it. If a weak monster hunts him it's fine, but what if a very strong monster chases him?

Surely I will also be involved with it ....

I kept the leftovers given by Lime and now we are walking to find more groceries.

While walking in search of other foodstuffs I kept warning Lime about the dangers of her big body.

I kept looking for a weak presence and finally I found a group of rather weak presence hiding behind the fine sands of the beach.

[[Life Detection] skill: lv-6 goes up to lv-7]

OHhh! My skill that I have always relied on has finally leveled up too!

Now let's see the effect of this skill leveling up. I activate this skill again then I feel the presence of more than before and my detection distance is getting wider now, I can almost distinguish each other's presence more clearly.

I felt a weak presence which was a crab-like presence but weaker. So I just considered a crab puppy.

Wow, what a nice improvement ... and on the far left there is a very strong presence. Let's get away from him ... don't bother him ...

So now, roast this little crab.

I burned it using my fire breath.

[Because the ranking difference is too great, exp points cannot be obtained]

[Because the ranking difference is too great, exp points cannot be obtained]

...

It's been a long time since I heard this message. I guess I'll have to find these other little crabs to see how they rank ...

So this is murder in vain?

Hmm ... I don't think so, this cooked crab will be a meal for the four of us so it's not a waste.

I took the cooked crab and put it in [storage]. Even though this crab is small, it is the same size as Ana and there is even a little bit bigger.

We kept on looking for groceries like this until I felt there was enough for a month's supply. We found many ingredients such as seafood but in different forms of monsters. Some of them were very poisonous so I threw them away. mostly crab anyway. And we also found coconut trees that bear strange fruit, because they are edible so I took them all too.

In this search for foodstuffs, my level only went up by two levels ... the expansion was from the strange eel that suddenly came out of the beach sand.

As it was getting late and Ana looked sleepy, we walked away from the beach until the detection of her presence got less and then I set up a circular blockade and told them to sleep.

Ana fell asleep near the fire I made wearing the reindeer skin that I gave earlier.

Lime also slept silently beside me who was lying lazily.

Yami is still awake and observing the campfire now.

"Woof .."

Yami suddenly called out in a low voice.

What is wrong..?

"Woof .."

You want to hunt ..?

Yami nodded her head and wagged her tail.

Alright, but don't take too long and find out about a very strong monster ok ..?

"Woof .."

When Yami got my permission, she immediately dived into her shadow and started heading outside to hunt on her own.

.....

Cool skill.

Now, we just need to watch the night until morning and wait for Yami to return.
