What did Shang see in the hole inside the dead tree?
More Swamp Millipedes, but smaller.
No wonder that thing had its head pointed into the dead tree. It was probably nursing its young.
The little Swamp Millipedes were only around half a meter long and quite thin. At the moment, Shang could see them squiggling around in a ball.
'Lucky!' Shang thought with a grin. 'Those are at least ten, which means I get another 500 Contribution Points.'
Did Shang feel bad about killing them?
No.
First of all, they were a menace to nature, and second of all, they were insects. It was just natural for a human to feel less empathy for insects.
Shang looked at his left arm, which had healed by now.
Then, Shang put his hand into the hole and pointed it at the ball.
Shang used his Ice Blast, and the ball froze over in an instant. Of course, Shang's arm nearly burned off, but he quickly saved it by using a Fire Blast in a random direction.
