Chương 93: Taste the rainbow

The beast that trampled towards the stream looked like a mix of a cow and a lizard: all cow in form, but with scales covering its hide, lizard's tail and wide paws where cow would have hooves. I wouldn't bet that it was a herbivore, though. There were no pure herbivores in this cave ecosystem, though some creatures preferred mushrooms to other creatures.

Unlike most of cave monsters, this one had eyes, and they carefully scanned the vicinity for threats as the creature approached the water. I kept still where I plastered to the rock, but I found a good hiding place—the monster's gaze passed over me without pause.

I could've attacked then, but I waited, curious to see what would happen next. Did the creature came to drink the rainbow water? If yes, I wanted to see it do it, just to know that I could do it, too. After all, if that monster survived, I would too… especially after I eat it.
