Chereads / Reborn As Ash Lizard / Chapter 10 - First Enemy

Chapter 10 - First Enemy

I went to warehouse return the ore, and as expected, I didn't have enough to buy something to eat.

I put the coin in my bag and went to the hatchery.

My eyes started to slowly close on their own and my movements were slowed down.

When I entered the hatchery I was greeted by a guard.

It turned out that he has no name, and only the chosen ones who have proven themselves in battle are given a name by Kasal.

For example leader is one and his name is Soran.

The warehouse boss is called Ziran

and doctor is Len

Then there is the hunting squad boss Len who is rarely in the nest, he goes from one hunt to another to satisfy the hunger of this nest.

Supposedly Len is stronger than the current leader but he doesn't want to become one for some reason.

To have a name is the minimum and the only requirement for begin fight to becoming a leader.

Be named by Kasal is considered more than enough for them.

Fanatics and batlle junks what an amazing combination.

The hatchlings sleep in hatchers until they grow up, then they have to dig a house in the wall of this crater.

There were no beds here, just a cold... warm floor.

"I feel like I'm lying on a heated floor, it won't be that bad as I thought"

I lay down in the corner and closed my eyes and immediately fell asleep.

When i woke up my body was a little numb from sleeping on the hard floor but it wasn't too bad after a few moves i was good as new.

I grabbed two torches from the hatchery corner and went with my bag and the pickaxe head.

Yesterday when i wany buy meat I look at how much a new pickaxe costs and it turned out to be cheap it's worth as much as three pieces of goliath meat.

"Okay let's get a new pickaxe and maybe on sidetask find the thief of my old pickaxe"

Tasks for today have been selected so let's get to work!

I entered one of the tunnels and started digging but after a few minutes I dug into room?

"A cave?"

Before I could take a good look at it, a skull flew out of the darkness that had more life than it should have and flew on top of that.

"What the!"

I quickly left the flight path of this skull and then it flew deep into the tunnel I was digging.

"What was that?

some kind of bat in this world that lives in caves?"

As I thought, the skull started flying back at me.

"Looks like he want to eat me"

I grab pickaxe like I was holding a baseball bat and whacked that skull.

Maybe it flies fast but only in straight lines so it's like I'm playing baseball

I hit skull in side and he soar into wall, then crumbled into gray ash

"What?

Rather, I do not have enough strength to disintegrate something with hit or can I?

"Skull legion?

Have Legion in the name, does that mean they're in big groups or what?"

To my question another skull appeared and flew straight at me closing and opening its jaws.

I got positions like in baseball and

"Home RUN!"

[You acquired 1 exp from defeating legion skull]

'One skull is worth every 6 minutes of digging, not too bad and is also much more exciting than boring digging.'

Another skull began to fly out of the darkness of the cave.

*swing*

[You acquired 1 exp...]

for the next half hour of waving at the approaching skulls

'How many are there?

i already killed 180 and they keep coming but the weirdest thing is that only one attacks at a time and then there is a short gap and then another are coming.

I was going to run away if they start coming in groups but they only one at time come.

I'm tempted to go and see, but there might be other monsters that could easily kill me,'

I'll kill them until they run out or I'm too tired to continue.'

I didn't wave for a long time, after the next 20 they stopped coming, but in the darkness I saw red dots which were approaching with considerable speed.

'It doesn't look like another skull.

I think I woke up their mother or some other inhabitant of this cave. I guess it's time to get out of here!

Without much hesitation, I took my bag together with my head pickaxe and ran to the exit.

'There were two adult lizards as guards, so they should give me a hand. '

When I was running away from monster that was chasing to main tunnel I quickly turned to left.

When monster com outto light in main tunnel I saw a humonoid skeleton with black bones, or more precisely with badly burnt bones.

'He doesn't look tough and he's a bit slower than me, his motor coordination is also pathetic, he barely managed to stop before hitting the wall.

Maybe I have a chance to kill him after all, I wonder how much exp I will get for him.'

I assumed a fighting stance with my pickaxe head as a club.

Skeleton mindless charge at me, but when he almost had me in the range of his attack, I quickly jumped to side and hit his leg with all my strength.

Surprising or not, his leg shattered and I almost lost my balance because I didn't expect his bone would be as soft as a wall of ash.

Skeleton rolled on the floor and hit the wall after his leg was gone.                       After impact withe wall, skeleton crumble to ash

[You acquired 5 exp from defeating Legion]

'That easy?

I was running away from it?

Good thing no one saw it or I would have burned from embarrassment!'
