"One... monster left." Blood Stalk said as I use the rifle and look around.
"Where is it?" I asked looking around frantically to see where it is.
"Not... this one." Blood Stalk replied and pointed to one of the octopus crab corpse.
They then pointed with our left hand to one of the cages that was open.
"What does that mean?" I said still on guard for any more attacks.
Blood Stalk did not say anything else as I try and rack my brain around what they meant.
"You mean that these monsters were in the cages?" I asked which we nodded to.
"And that there is one left." I reason which got me another nod.
"How do you know?" I asked which I got no reply to.
"Alright, doesn't mater now. What does is that we have food and shelter for lunch or dinner or whatever the time is." I said as we walked I took apart the rifle and turned it back into the gun and blade which Blood Stalk took back extremally fast.
"Guess you like blades." I joked but we nodded which made me think they didn't get it and that they were serious.
I look at the gun in our right hand, specifically the rocket bottle and wonder how we got this and if it was the same bottle we looked at before.
As I got lost in thought we made it back to the hole to the surface.
We look up through the hole and the sun was starting to fall as the sky turned orange.
"It's going to get dark soon. This place at least has a roof so I think we just need a way to cook this and some water." I said kicking the monsters corps as we walked around for a bit to think and Blood Stalk raised our hands to the wall.
"Get... the other bodies." Blood Stalk said as we used the gauntlet wires to clime the wall again.
We then found the remains and toss the corpses down the hole.
They landed with a loud thud as I try and figure out how to get down safely.
Blood Stalk imbed the gauntlet wires to the ground and descended to the bottom.
"This is a fun way to get up and down this hole." I said as we made our way over retracting the wires along the way.
As we walked we found the tree we were smashed into destroyed and in pieces.
"We can use this." I said as we drag it along with the other corpses to the cave.
"How do we start a fire?" I asked as I have never had to do this before and we don't have any matches or lighters to start anything.
"Maybe we can try to rubbing sticks or reflect sunlight down here." I said trying to brainstorm how to get a fire started. It's not like we can shoot it.
"Elek Steam." I heard the sound and electricity shot out and hit the tree, setting it on fire instantly.
I look at our left hand as it lowered Blood Stalk.
"That works." I said to fill the silence to no reply.
As night started to fall we set up everything.
We started a fire using the tree and tried to cook the octopus crabs.
I could not tell if we were doing this right since I have never cooked anything fish related.
Let alone monster octopus crab, but Blood Stalk seemed to be doing well.
Blood Stalk used ice steam to make a chunk of ice and melted it next to the fire.
We found some metal bowl lying around the cages and used them to hold the water and boil the crab parts.
They were covered in blood and guts so I suggested we tried to rinse it with boiling water to sterilize it.
Beggars can't be choosers right now as these were the only useful things here to hold water.
"This has to be the longest, worst Christmas ever." I said as my helmet head is sitting next to Blood Stalk while they eat boiled crab next to me with the other bodies are in the corner ready to be used.
I can't move my head but I can still move our right arm if I wanted to tough if I chose not to Blood Stalk can use it just fine.
"Blood Stalk." I said to get there attention.
"We need to talk."
