Run

Fifteen minutes passed by since I attached the extractor in the root, and I couldn't help but wonder how much juice that thin pipe had sucked by now.

Feeling bored, I looked around; on my left, about fifteen meters ahead, Mary sat without moving in front of the extractor just like me and about seventy meters from us ape monster.

A Copper Armored Ape, to be exact. It is a little different from a normal Copper Armored Ape. 

It had a thick coppery layer covering it; the layer is a little thicker than the Copper Armored Ape Monsters found outside; it is not strange as all monsters here have to survive against Cosmic Energy.

The strange is a small red crystal on its forehead just like Ashlyn; normal Copper Armored Ape Monsters did not have that. It either due to the mutation or had eaten some Miracle Fruit, which gave it that.

Ashlyn had gotten it from the monster, which had eaten multiple Miracle Fruits. It had tried to eat Ashlyn, but Ashlyn ate it.
