Sebastian was in the swamp, inspecting several mushrooms with different hats ranging from the typical brown hat to an exotic red with blue dots, no doubt an exotic plant that could be taken from someone's imagination, Sebastian strangely felt how his hand lost all sensation when touching the strange mushroom with red hat and blue dots, a mushroom that had excreted a poison invisible to the human eye which had affected the hand of Sebastian.
Sebastian's arm was still manageable, but he had no sense of pain or sensation of touch so the mushroom would prove to be a very useful item in the future so Sebastian decided to collect all the mushrooms that were present in the vicinity of where he was while Josh and Saphira continued to observe the fauna and surroundings without moving more than 100-150 meters from Sebastian.
[X32 Mushroom blue hat have been collected]
"Only these were close... I suppose there must be someone frequenting the swamp, better not touch anything else, probably these mushrooms are used as objects for support in complicated health operations." (Sebastian)
Sebastian had noticed the scarcity of mushrooms present in the near 100 meters so it was obvious that the swamp was frequented, which made him decide not to continue taking mushrooms, due to the Poisonous / Curative property of the mushrooms to make lose the feeling of "X" part of the body, Sebastian became the idea that the mushroom was used as a local medicine to anesthetize and heal wounds, a very effective plant to simulate the typical anesthesia of hospitals, although the effect of the mushroom was immediate and very effective.
Many trees that were in the swamp had plants and what appeared to be hanging fruit from them, although Sebastian was not comfortable proving himself to be a guinea pig, because the blue hat mushroom was certainly poisonous since he lost 2000 of life in a few seconds, but fortunately the poisoning was only temporary.
One of the most distinctive fruits that was present was the one that hung from a tree, exhibiting a beautiful crimson color and the interior was exactly the same as that of a "pomegranate" so Sebastian decided to try one of the small fruits of the interior of He immediately regretted his decision.
"Hot....hot...!!!" (Sebastian)
At that time Sebastian's tongue felt as if he had been chewing a hot pepper for a long time, his full mouth was left without sensation which could become dangerous since the burning effect of the fruit could burn his tongue and ruin the taste buds.
(PD: Spicy tolerance varies from person to person and if eating too much spicy or very often can create a resistance to spicy, but also a very acute loss of taste, a clear example is sugar, which already it does not feel very sweet as it used to be since the tongue gets used to eating a strong food instead of something soft and sweet, it is recommended to eat spicy moderately since it is good for the health of a person <3)
At that time Sebastian looked like a madman running in the swamp winding his hand, trying to calm the heat that his mouth felt at that moment until he found another fruit which was split and released a strange white liquid, much like milk, and that the milk was a liquid capable of counteracting the effects of the spicy, Sebastian approached and drank a couple of sips of the fruit, although he recognized that he should not take something to the mouth without knowing what kind of effects this could have, Although the current situation was somewhat desperate and drinking the water from the marsh was practically a madness.
The Behemoths, Josh and Saphira stood quietly watching Sebastian suck the juice of a plant and suddenly raised their heads to the sky, hundreds of different birds immediately began to fly erratically and desperately, a clear sign of a natural disaster.
Saphira began to make a sharp sound to Sebastian, who was at least 20 meters from the two behemoths until he left the fruit and began to show a face of relief, but At that moment his face of relief was turned into one of fear.
The clear vision of the birds and hundreds of swamp creatures fleeing in one direction made Sebastian understand that a natural disaster was about to happen and that it would happen at any moment.
(Birds and terrestrial / aquatic animals have a sense that allows them to know when a natural disaster will happen, so they are the first to escape from areas that they feel the danger will be concentrated.)
Adrenaline entered the blood of Sebastian causing him to start running in the same direction as the birds and at the same time he called back to Saphira and Josh causing both to disappear to avoid danger, the huge monsters similar to gavials passed by. of Sebastian, despite their enormous sizes, they moved in an incredibly fast way, even though the ground was in a very bad state.
Although Sebastian was unable to see any natural disaster approaching him, he did not want to risk wasting time either.
"Better prevent, than cure!!" (Sebastian)
Sebastian said running with all his strength watching as new creatures emerged from the swamp fleeing, a huge wolf that seemed to be made of vines and different types of plants stepped next to Sebastian hitting him in his face with what seemed to be seaweed, at that time the wolf turned his head and made a mocking expression towards Sebastian who at that moment did not take it well at all.
Sebastian felt annoyed by the wolf, but the situation for him was not the one to follow the same behavior, so he concentrated on running as fast as he could, just to end up exhausting himself.
"Uffff...uuffff" (Sebastian)
It was impossible to keep running at the same pace and wait to get very far after, Sebastian began to stop slowly until he was still, crouched, resting both hands on his knees breathing sharply trying to catch his breath.
Breathless and without strength, Sebastian sat on the ground, leaning against a tree watching the sky with birds until suddenly he heard a female voice and looking in the direction of the swamp he could see a beautiful woman with crimson skin, long horns On her forehead and black and yellow eyes, this strange woman had something in his hands, something that seemed to be.
"A...child?" (Sebastian)
Sebastian said at that moment, noticing that the crimson-skinned woman was carrying a child in her arms, fleeing in terror, at that moment Sebastian thought it was another creature that realized what was coming, so he decided to relax until suddenly a Huge wave appeared from the marsh, being twice as high as the trees.
Sebastian immediately stood up and turned around to start running, but at that moment something stopped him, it was not a spell, nor was it a trap, it was the woman's cries, Sebastian for a moment was left with his mind on White, thinking more about saving himself than the woman, but something in his head told him not to advance.
The wave became bigger and bigger and the desperate woman tried to run even faster than she already was, but the fatigue seemed to have made her reach her limit, and she fell to the ground using her body to protect the child from the fall.
The poor woman watched as the wave began to descend quickly, as if it were alive and just at that moment Sebastian lifted the woman in his arms and began to run again, Sebastian had returned for the woman as he remembered that when he died It would disappear and could enter again after 24 hours, but he did not know if the "NPCs/People of that" world were able to do the same.
He decided not to take the risk of finding out by sacrificing a child and a woman, so he came back to save them both even if that cost him his own life.
