Chapter 5 - Centipede

What are a spider, a Slime and an egg doing in a maze?

I don't know that, someone explain it to me!

Currently we abandon the nest that Shiro had made, Shiro seems very positive about it, she normally observes every new thing we find along the way, it seems that at least the loss of our home did not affect her!

Just a little while after we left, Shiro looked at me and the egg.

Mmmmm?

Why am I carrying the egg?

It's not because it's emergency food, so don't look at it like you're going to eat it!

You can't break it anyway!

If humans had taken it, it would surely have had a tragic outcome...

Because it's a monster egg after all!

I don't know what human society is like in this world, but if it's like on Earth, maybe they would eat the egg!

I explain to Shiro

And now it's like part of our little monster family...

After all, it's been with Shiro almost as long as I have...

Because of its size it could very well be a Dinosaur egg!

I can totally imagine riding one!

Suddenly on our way we find a Centipede

Mhhh apart from carrying the egg I don't do much...

Let me hunt this time Shiro!

I approach him silently...

When I'm close I attack him by throwing projectiles like the frog, only this time instead of Frog acid I spit out Shiro's special spider venom!

Why do I have poison?

In fact, when I digested parts of Frog I got the skill [Expulsion LV1] and [Poison Synthesis LV1], after checking this I asked Shiro to poison a piece of food so I could break down the poison and assimilate it...

And it worked!

I can now throw poison balls in my Slime form

I can use its poison at a few degrees less... that doesn't mean it's no longer deadly, it's just that it's less effective than Shiro's.

It's clear that it's limited, but that doesn't make it any less cool!

The centipede tries to struggle for a while until it dies

This strategy doesn't usually work so easily, but it seems that centipedes can't see...

Leaving that aside, the Great Sage has actually leveled up.

Great Sage, tell me what the changes are!

"I'm currently increasing my information processing ability, and the quality of analysis."

Okay?

As I look at the notifications, Shiro divides the food in two.

Shiro after eating the centipede decides to hunt herself this time

I watch as she climbs onto the roof to fall by surprise on top of her unfortunate victim

Another centipede

It bites her neck as soon as it lands on top of her

After a few seconds of fighting the centipede dies without being able to do anything

We continue with this routine continuously

Which leads me to wonder why there are so many centipedes in this place.

My question is answered the moment Shiro runs away from her hunt in panic!

When I see what she's running away from I see...

Many, many centipedes coming after her.

If we take into account that when I use the [Mimicry] skill in centipede form I paralyze when I bite...

At that moment I decide that it's not time to think

It's time to run!

As always with the egg I start running after Shiro
