Chapter 5 - Swamp area

Slurp... Slurp

a black horned gazelle was drinking peacefully when suddenly a sword came flying down at a speed the gazelle could not react to

Splash

it pierced right through its head splashing blood everywhere painting the water with red.

[you've killed a low black horned gazelle]

[you've gained 50 EC]

[you've Leveled up: all stats will increase by 1]

[Level 5/10 Energy consternation 0/150]

'this is the fourth one I have killed today, it seems that after a certain point the Energy concentration required would increase, that is expected though otherwise, it would be too easy'

after disseminating the gazelle and putting the meat in a bag he brought with him he floated up again, but this time he was going a bit deeper cause all this time he has been in the 150 meters radius from the forest entrance, but he will now be going to the 300-meter zone, he once heard from fanzon how there are swamps in there full of crocodiles and big snakes.

as he started getting closer to the swamp area he noticed how the trees were much darker and the smell of the swamps started rushing in his face, using his ant senses, saros started searching across the swamp area looking for a victim, until he finally felt danger lurking, something rushed at him from atop of the tree behind him, saros senses tingled notifying him the creature is extremely dangerous so he used telekinesis to quickly push himself backward to prevent taking a full-force attack and quickly turned around sheathing his sword and blocking the attack coming from the massive snake fangs, the force of the attack was devastating sending him straight down into one of the swamps.

Splash...

Saros was delighted that he didn't take a full-force attack because if that would've happened he would be going back with broken hands, but then his happiness quickly dissipated away when he found himself surrounded by charging crocodiles, exposed in such a dire situation, he had no other choice but increasing [Gravity Defiance].

'Shit, [Gravity Defiance] increase to 5%'

Swoosh...

after dodging the attack by mere inches saros had a face full of sweat and dirty water, heaving for breath and his eyes shocked looking at the 50 meters green and black snake with golden eyes that curled its body around a huge tree.

Hiss ' Damned human, how dare you intrude on my territory! you better leave or you will regret it'

"HUH? you can speak! but... the guards never mentioned something like that "

Hiss 'of course they wouldn't, they are not worth my attention so I never bother showing my self to them, although I can kill them if I wanted to, they are not a threat so I don't attack recklessly.... but you, you're disturbingly weird, this ability to fly is not something trivial a kid your age can do and those reflexes, they don't belong to humans your level! also, you do not emit heat from your body, in fact, you're cold, very cold I really feel uncomfortable around you, so I will give you the chance to back off now or we will have to fight till one of us falls down.'

"..... alright, ill take my leave then"

Hiss ' a wise choice human... or whatever you are'

Although saros was acting cool while leaving, his heart was pounding in a really fast rate and once he got out of the swamp area he took a deep breath.

'Sigh.... that was really close, and what the hell was that snake talking about, I do not emit heat and I'm cold! is it because of the race change? It's probably that primordial thing, but what is that exactly? Ahhh too many damn questions, whatever, I'll just have to figure that out later let's get back, this has been a tiresome journey'.

on the way back saros killed 2 more black gazelles and one ant increasing his level once, he then took a rest to roast some gazelle meat and some ant legs and surprisingly gaining two more skills!

Ding!

[you've gained a new skill: gazelle fast hopping (increase speed by 2)]

[you've gained a new skill: low ant commander (ability to command 20 ants)]

'what the.... command ants?? it just gets crazier and crazier doesn't it'

After a while saros got close to the village walls but before getting closer he went floated down to avoid any unnecessary attention, and once he got to the big wooden door, Fanzon got up to open the doors.

'Oh, Saros what is in those bags?'

"uncle, let me show you inside"

after entering the warehouse saros unpacked the bags and showed the 2 fully intact gazelles and the other 2 which had some parts eaten, after Fanzon saw all the meat his eyes almost popped out in shock.

'This... how?! the gazelles are weak, yes, but they have incredible agility and an even better hearing! this is only your first time ever hunting, this is incredible Saros, this... this will help our village tremendously haha! you know what! let us make a feast on half a gazelle tonight, the rest of the meat will be enough for another month if we manage probably, those bastards will be very happy hahaha'.

fanzon wrapped saros with his arms and started chatting while laughing loudly, he was so overwhelmed by happiness he did not even question how did saros manage to do all this because nothing else was more important to him than the happiness of the village.

that night the village had its very first proper meal in a long time, everyone was sitting beside the dining table eating laughing, and chatting until after dawn.
