"Xadia!, Why is your container more heavy than the others, it's like I'm carrying my own weight". Tyson complained, he then descended from the air, he dropped the container and unlatched his familiar from his back, he then summoned his orbs away.
"I had an headstart so I picked a lot of minerals, it added to it's weight I guess, plus we killed a lot of those creatures and I gathered most of them, you wouldn't notice you were ranting about Jake". Xadia replied, he moved to the glass container and lifted it.
Jake followed after him, Tyson placed his hand on the system Interface if the dome's door, his fingerprint was scanned and the door slid open, they entered the dorm, and Ivy was still in the same position she previously was.
"She's still here, is cultivation not like two to three hour, we've been out for more than two hours, although I can't tell the the time, it certainly felt like it, she's supposed to be stressed or something, the energy here is enough to cause an headache". Tyson commented.
"I think she's accustomed to cultivating longer than normal cultivations, the energy here is different, it'll constantly disturb are energy refinement, she has to attune to the energy around her before she can feel hers, plus she's cultivation for two cores, it would be long, separating blood from the energy core is not an easy task,". Xadia explained.
"Don't forget she's getting us out of here, it's not a swim in space, and like he said, wonky energy aura, she'd have to refine a lot of her energy". Jake added.
"How do you know all this, you're not even a siphon," Tyson asked
.
'He's not a siphon, really, how come, and he's that strong, I could have sworn he was able to keep up with me during how duel, I won with my endurance, but how is that possible. If he's that strong then I'm sure he must've been in a lot to able to amount to that strength,' Jake thought.
"I read a lot on siphons, I have a holotop back home, so I use it a lot". Xadia lied. He did use a holotop but it wasn't his, it was in the fords home and that was a place that was a close to being called home right now.
"Have you been to earth?" Jake asked Xadia.
Xadia raised one of his eyebrows up. Of course he had been to earth before he grew up there two hundred years ago, but who would believe that.
"No, have you, how's it like," He replied
"No, I was just asking" Jake replied. "Can you imagine it, I can't wait for Mr. Harper's escussion". Jake said with a perky smile.
'He's not been to earth before, then how did he get that strong, was he just born strong,' Jake wondered. 'As long as he can duel with me, that's what matters, and with Tyson now that's two person to grow my strength with'.
"He's excited, not again". Tyson quickly collected the glass container from Jake.
"Not again?" Xadia wondered.
"Yes he eats the creatures when he's excited, he's a glutton," Tyson said.
"Thanks you just saved me the trouble of stressing myself". Jake beared his teeths, and he began to walk towards the pod chairs.
"Where do you think you're going, there's one more container left outside, go take it, you thought you were free huh, you get extra work you ate out food supply". Tyson accused.
Jake looked at Xadia for a backup, but he shrugged his shoulders. "Fine". Jake agreed, and went out of the dome.
"Jasmine's not here," Xadia said.
"She'll be in that room." Tyson pointed at the door that led to the second area of the dome.
They approached the door, and it automatically slid open and they entered the second area, and something had caught their attention.
In a glass pipe enclosing was a crystal, the crystal was teal in color, and it wasn't one glass pipe that they could see, there were four in the room, and the two of them contained some of the minerals, they had picked from the lake, the last pipe glass enclosing contained a red stone.
Jasmine was by the construction table, and she hadn't noticed them come in, she was pretty concentrated on what she was doing. What was she doing?, She was mixing some elements together.
"She doesn't know we're here, should we alert her". Tyson asked, and Xadia looked at Jasmine.
"I know that face, she can't be distracted with what she's doing, let's wait a bit". He replied.
Jake soon joined the two of them, they were by the kitchenette."Why are you staring at her". Jake asked.
"We don't want to disturb her, we don't want to sever her concentration with what she's doing, she doesn't know we're back". Xadia replied.
Jasmine then lifted a test tube, a red liquid was illuminating the transparent glass. She then moved towards the minerals in the glass pipes.
She touched the glass and it opened, she then poured a bit of the liquid on the mineral and there was no reaction.
She did for the same mineral beside it but the result was the same, she then went to the last mineral and poured it on the red stone. It began to vibrate and a blinding light of red lustered the room it was successful.
"Yes yes!!". Jasmine exclaimed, she then did a slide and a moonwalk dance, a weird dance followed. "What's she doing, that's not how it's done". Tyson said
She kept moon walking until she bumped into the glass container on the floor, she then noticed the trio staring at her. "Oh shit," She mumbled, and blushed.
"You're back, I didn't see you there". Jasmine said.
"Yeah, you were busy and Xadia said we should not disturb your concentration, you seemed concentrated on what you're doing, whatever it is you're doing". Jake replied
"I was just testing something out and it worked, the liquid amplifies a minerals effectiveness, I got the stone from the tree we saw when we arrived on the planet , the stone is made from it's blood, it wasn't completely solid at the time but the liquid amplified it's state of matter, that's why I was uhm celebrating". Jasmine explained.
"You really knocked yourself out, look how much you brought, are these for food". She asked.
"Yes, it was more than this, but Wolfie ate them raw, he used the ' i'm a mutant ' as an escuse," Tyson informed.
"That's a good escuse, consuming the creatures raw would had to his strength, you got them from the lake right". Jasmine asked and Xadia replied yes.
"It must be reach in protein". Jasmine took a the spider octopus corpse from the container and moved to the construction table, she began to examine it. She was soons done.
"It's really rich in protein so it's edible for us, you really out did yourself, this will sustain us for days, not that we're spending long here,but its more than enough," Jasmine informed.
"Great!, Spiracle is a go". Tyson said.
"Spiracle?"
"Yes, cause it's a mixture of two breeds of animals we know, the spider and the octopus".
"Actually it's a mixture of three, spider octopus and Leach". Jasmine corrected. " This place is a little similar to earth, the creatures here looks like that of earth, they're like a crossbreed". Jasmine informed.
"It's edible, I want to extract salt from the minerals, they have a lot of salt, we'll use it to grill their meat, someone should go collect water from the lake, the one I collected as been used". Jasmine informed.
Everyone suddenlyaid their eyes on Tyson, and he knew what they meant.",Fine!!". He groaned.m, he left the scenery.
Jasmine then took a mineral from the container, she moved to the construction table and began examining the minerals.
"Are we to wait for you again". Jake asked the soon to be concentrated Jasmine.
"Don't worry this won't take long". She replied.
After a series of tinkering on the construction table, Jasmine was finished and Tyson had arrived with a glass container of lake water.
Jasmine washed the creatures meat, she then placed the meat in an info glass, they edible and non edible parts were displayed. She added the salt she had extracted and began to grill the chopped meat, she was cooking like someone with a lot of experience in that area. The others kept watching her every move, and it looked like saliva drops were beginning to come out from Jake's mouth, and he was starting to regret consuming some of the creatures raw, the scent was compelling.
A vent system soon opened by the roof of the second area, and the grill's smoke escaped the dome, and after a few minutes she was done. She tore a flesh if the meat and consumed it, and a smile formed on her face. "Let's eat," She announced.
