Chapter 20 – Discovered.

"…"

(Why the fuck it tasted like a freaking duck?)

(I mean…. I did ate insects and they didn't tasted good, but why does it taste like a duck??? Should it taste, I don't know… "Insect" like?)

(Well… I think I shouldn't complain too much???)

(Anyway, I need to eat the entire thing.)

(Considering how unfairly overpower this thing was, there is a chance that I would unlock a new evolution path or maybe variant if not both if I were to eat it.)

(I still don't exactly know how evolution works in this world.)

(I don't know if I need to kill or eat or something else to unlock new paths, but its better to eat just in case.)

(On top of that.)

[LEVEL 100]

(This bastard got me all the way to 100 level. Well, he was stupidly overpower, so I should have expected this.)

(The evolution paths…)

[Forest Deer]

[Great Plant Wolf]

[Great Plant Deer]

[Plant Bear]

[Plant Boar]

(I didn't unlocked any special evolution path or variants.)

(So maybe I really have to eat this whole thing.)

(But how do I eat it?)

(I mean, I'm starving and I will lose some of the consumed food for recovery, but this bastard was big!)

(It will take me a 2 to 3… No, 2 days will do. If I eat him today, I should be able to finish eating tomorrow.)

(Besides my…? Wait where it my limb?)

(…)

(Oh… There it is.)

(It must have completely fallen off after that last desperate dodge I made. Well, that limb was good as dead anyway.)

(Anyway, with my current injuries, that skill will definitely level up, so I will recover a slightly bit faster and will also consume more food in the process.)

(But how do I store this thing? Smell will definitely attract other monsters and all.)

(I don't know how strong the other monsters in this area are as well, but I can definitely say that they are no where near that thing level.)

(Normally whenever I went into the deeper parts of the forest, the difference in strength between monster was noticeable, but not stupidly overwhelming.)

(Even in my current state I should have no problem with ripping apart a wolf.)

(But the problem are humans.)

(There is a good chance that this guy didn't only hunted that human, there is a chance that there were other casualties.)

(He fuking made humans probably wary and there is a chance that they had already discover some other humans remains.)

(What if there would be a squad of humans coming here to investigate? Fighting humans in my current state is a bad idea.)

(…)

(Fuck. This is annoying.)

(Should I just evolve from get go instead?)

(Hm… No.)

(If I want to have a chance to get stronger, I have to eat this whole thing in order to find out if I would get stronger or not.)

(…)

(Fuck it. I'm going to stay awake through the entire night.)

(I'm going to lose consciousness anyway the moment I would evolve and would then immediately fall asleep.)

(But I obviously cannot stay in this place, since literally a humans remains here with and its literally an open space area.)

(I want to get to more dense part of the forest at least where there are more trees or a cave.)

(I don't mind if I exterminated monsters and take over their place, since that guy already made a mess.)

(Even killing humans now in this current situation is fine.)

(BUT WHERE THE FUCK I FIND THE SPOT?!)

(…)

(Wait.)

(We made a big mess around here.)

(Not only that, but there is that guy blood and human blood everywhere.)

(Even if you don't have keen sense of smell, you would easily smell this scent of blood.)

(Not only that, the monsters should appeared long time ago.)

(I guess that guy must have killed everything in here and monsters are probably wary of this place right now.)

(Should I then use this place? Maybe there is a spot nearby where there are bit more trees and all.)

(Hm…. Nope. Bad idea.)

(This place is right next to the previous area I was just in.)

(Some adventures will pass through this area and all.)

(Staying is really not in the options.)

(…Monsters may not want to come near this place, but I will definitely encounter humans.)

(But if I would try to drag this thing around, I would probably end up leaving its blood and attracting monsters.)

(…)

(Hm… Okay.)

(First lets eat as much as I can.)

The deerwolf continues consuming the centipede monster body until it could not take an another bite.

(…)

(This is my limit.)

(Anyway, I think I maybe know what I should do.)

(For now, let's leave this corpse behind.)

(Monsters shouldn't be able to go near this area for sometime and that guy murdered any humans in area.)

(I still can't run at full speed, but dragging this thing everywhere while looking for a minimal safe spot is a bad idea for many reason.)

(Its better to look around first and then drag this corpse around.)

After I filled my stomach with that bastard flesh, I began looking around for a spot that is at least bit safe.

Not like safe from monsters, but a safe spot where I could at least eat in peace.

I did encounter monsters, but I was too annoyed and focused to bother remembering what I killed.

I killed any monsters I encounter, since I wanted to clear the area.

I may have lost my limb, but I was able to kill anything in my way.

Nothing was near or that guy level.

Anyway, I managed to find a denser part of the forest filled with trees. I could use that place.

It is also located away from that bastard hunting ground.

It's not perfect hiding spot or a good one, but it will have to do, since I can't travel too far with my current state.

I cleared the spot of monsters as well, so I shouldn't' be bothered for some time.

I headed back to the centipede bastard hunting ground in order to retrieve the corpse.

However,… Fuck.

(?!)

(Mana!?)

(Not only that, but two of them are big ones!)

(Shit!)

(…)

(FUCK THIS!)

(I refuse to give up that bastard corpse to anybody!)

(It's my game!)

The deerwolf walked towards the centipede hunting ground and upon arriving, it found 2 humans inspecting the centipede monster corpse.

(?)

(Her clothes…. She looks like those fantasies priest.)

(And that guy… He is the guy I sometimes spot going to the deeper parts of the forest! That armor wearing guy!)

"!"

The girl suddenly turned around towards the deerwolf direction and saw the creature hiding among the bushes.

(?!)

(She spotted me?! How?!)

(!)

(Shit! She must have a detection skill or something like me!)

(…)

(Fuck it.)

(I rather end up half dead than let them take the corpse!)

The deerwolf left its hiding spot, revealing itself to the pair of adventures.

"?!"

As soon as the pair saw the monster, they instantly put up their guard.

(…)

(Let's kill that girl first. She is looking tough.)

The deerwolf unleashed a wave of razor sharp leaves towards the girl, but the man wearing armor suddenly got in the way of the attack and blocked the attack with its shield and body.

(!)

(Tch. There is no way I can pierce through that armor with that.)

(I guess he is some sort of "Tank" isn't he?)

(Well, I guess I have but to kill him first.)

(I will get near his head and use the plant root to pierce right through his holes in the mask and get his eyes!)

(If you hunt in this area, then I should be able to kill you.)

(I may lose all my limbs, but so what?! I will not let you have that corpse!)

The deerwolf began slowly moving towards the pair of adventures while the armor wearing adventures looked at the corpse of the centipede.

"!&*#"

"!?"

"!*(@"

"&!*(!!!"

(?)

(Are they coordinating their attacks or something?)

The armor wearing man quickly moved away, revealing the young girl with a ball of light in her hand.

"?!"

Suddenly, from the girl hands a bright light emerged that completely blinded the deerwolf in the instance.

"!?"

(FUCK! MY EYES!)

(They fuking blinded me!)

(!)

(Is an attack coming?!)

(Mana detection!)

(?)

(Wait, what?)

(They are…Running away?)

Moment later, the deerwolf regained its vision.

"…"

(Fuck me… They really ran away?!)

(I though that they would attack me or something, but they just escaped???)

(That light attack seem to only blind me for 2-3 seconds.)

(… Should I chase them…. Nope.)

(I can't with this limb. I will not be able to catch up to them no matter what.)

(Still, at least I avoided fighting…...WAIT!)

(OH SHIT!)

(They fuking saw me!)

(They saw the entire me!)

(Fuck! This is not good! Not good at all!)

(There is no another monster like me in this forest! They will definitely report about me to the settlement, adventurer guild or something!)

(They will know about my existence now!)

(They will see me as a danger and hunt me down!)

(…)

(You got to be fuking kidding me….)

(How fucked am I right now?)
