Chapter 14: Poison ward (part 2)
[Level: 3/5(10%)]
Zynx became happy to be able, to gain 7% experience point from a single earthworm.
[Bronze earthworm parchment*2]
"So, young earthworm, also contain information parchment?"
[Yes]
Zynx became excited, as he wanted to view what information, you could view after collecting whole 10 parchments.
He had to go for the search of other earthworms, while they were still outside, so he decided to store earthworm carcass, in order to not waste time.
When he was ready to order poison ward to take out the carcass, Mia stops him, as if she knew what he was planning to do.
[Poison ward can function until you cancel the skill or someone destroys it. So you don't have to cancel it.]
[You can just leave it here, its camouflage is also 1.5 times stronger than yours. So you don't have to worry about other interrupting its digestion.]
After hearing Mia reasoning, Zynx also agreed with it. He might need more than 8 minutes to find other groups of earthworms.
Zynx then tried to remember the direction of the nearest pair of bronze earthworms and slithered towards it.
After just 6 minutes of slithering, he felt, little vibration from the ground as if someone was fighting.
He had not found anyone except skeleton warrior, bronze earthworm and bloody eagle, since arriving at the summit. So he thought, it must be bronze earthworm from before.
When Zynx reached the site of fighting, he saw 2 bronze earthworms connected with each other and the single insect, like before was lying on the ground, probably dead.
Zynx thought, he was lucky to be able to find a pair in a short time. He became ready to use poison shot and catch them unprepared.
[Stop!!]
"What!! Again?"
[Later, you have to fight powerful earthworm but you know nothing about their fighting style. Don't you want to understand them?]
Now, He remembered, he never had the experience of fighting. He could reach at this level, only by using his scheming, intelligence and luck, so he never concentrated towards the information.
Zynx agreed with the system and looked at their fighting. But …
"Mia, are they really fighting?"
Two earthworms were lining up against one another, facing opposite directions, they then started to coil around each other, so that another one could not escape. After that, they both started to excrete mucus, forming a slime tube. He didn't understand what was happening until Mia notified him.
[Looks like, they are copulating and not fighting. Sorry, I misunderstood.]
"What?"
"This is sex. Oh my god!! What happened to this world, how can they start with 69? Don't they know, it should start with some foreplay? Am I needed to teach them?"
[But you died a virgin.]
Huh!!
"Ahh!! You are right."
He felt depressed.
He then thought of something.
"Mia, have they finished?"
[NO, it is just starting.]
"Ha ha ha, so let's make them understand the pain of dying virgin."
"Mia, find the female. I will start with a female.]
[Both are female]
"Huh!! Are they lesba…"
Before he could finish his question,
[Earthworm race are hermaphrodite, they have both male and female organ.]
"Ooh, so they can give birth with just masturbation."
He nodded his head with understanding and then became confused.
"Then, why are they doing this?"
Mia became dumbfounded and chooses to ignore him.
He waited for some time but didn't get a reply from Mia.
Zynx decided to finish them before they could do the deed, so he slithered toward them while camouflaging.
[Ancient bloodline (white crystal) = level 2(6%)]
'So digestion is complete.'
While moving toward the couple, he made another plan.
When he reached at the distance of 5 m from them, he canceled poison ward and used it again.
Both earthworms were having fun, so they didn't know their death, approaching them.
Zynx then used poison shot towards the couple but missed the hit purposely.
Earthworm pairs became shocked, as they didn't expect anyone near them, so they separated from each other and looked toward the direction of Zynx in anger, for disturbing their good time.
They could not see poison ward as it was using camouflage.
They then saw a small white snake, whose face was filled with pride, for being able to stop them.
Seeing that kind of look on assaulter, they became even angrier and hastened towards Zynx.
When they entered inside the range of poison ward, then one of them got swallowed. Another earthworm became shocked and looked at the attacker, but before it could get a clear view, it was hit by paralyzing poison shot from Zynx.
After that poison ward swallowed it, then 'the end'.
Zynx then heard the notification from Mia.
[Level: 3/5(24%)]
[Bronze earthworm parchment*4]
[Time for digestion – 11 min]
Zynx gain was no different from before, so he could understand all notification except last one.
Poison ward had consumed 2 of them, but its digestion time had decreased, from an estimated 16 minute to 11 minutes.
"Mia, does my digestion speed, level up?"
[No]
"Then…"
[I know you want to ask about poison ward]
[Its size is 5 times larger than you, simultaneously its stomach size. So it is not decreasing in time, but, before its stomach was not full.]
He understood.
...…
Zynx didn't know, how long would other pairs of bronze earthworm required to find their prey. So he should hurry.
He left the poison ward as it is and went to search another pair.
Zynx found another pair of earthworm, wandering around.
He knew, they were not powerful and could not give him any new information. So he waited for the completion of digestion while following them.
[Ancient bloodline (white crystal) = level 2(16%)]
After hearing the notification sound, he re-summoned the poison ward, and with the use of absolute poison shot, paralysis poison and slowing poison, he killed both of them in 30 seconds.
[Level: 3/5(38%)]
[Bronze earthworm parchment*6]
Zynx then ordered poison ward to swallow them.
[Time for digestion – 10.5 minute]
Zynx could see, his digestion time was decreasing and felt happy. (As poison ward is based on his stats and skills)
He then left the poison ward to search, the final pair of a bronze earthworm.
After searching for more than 30 min, Zynx could not find that last pair. He concluded, 'It must have returned.'
