A month passed quietly between hunting and adding guards, in addition to the wolverine, I managed to have a lynx, a wolf and a bear. Having a lynx was the easiest, a fight between my first bodyguard and the lynx. I simply took advantage of being less important in his eyes to throw my hallucinogenic powder and a parasite. As for the wolf, it was harder, as a pack animal I had to kill all the wolves to succeed. How did I do it against a whole herd?
I started by completely covering my two guards with my powder, then I started with the wolves in a very small group. Then with the hallucinations, most of them attacked each other, while being attacked by my bodyguards, that in me, I took the role of assassin with my small size. Finally, only the alpha remains. With my poison I touched him until he could no longer move before inserting a parasite. Thanks to that, I got a new trait!
[Quadrupedalism – Small]: Once on all fours at least, your speed increases by 5%.
As for the bear, it was even simpler, I killed with my three little darlings all animals considered as prey, then I left a corpse with a parasite. I simply had to wait for him to get hungry.
Then I simply hunted everything that came under my teeth. While I was eating a bear, a human with a bow and arrows came. Surely a hunter, maybe my size has grown a little, but he ran away, but I sent my little pets to hunt him, with love of course. While my little darlings generously went to save the hunter from this life, a trait appeared to me.
[Bite force – Small]: Your bite is getting a little more powerful.
Ho? Ho! Here's something very useful! My little darlings came back with the hunter alive. I approached. I gave the order to bring him back alive, although I don't have a lot of proof, I feel like eating a living being gives me a better chance of having an addition more easily than a corpse. I slowly approached the human. My mouth slowly opening, showing my sharp teeth with drool dripping. The hunter looks at me with my animals around also showing their fangs.
The hunter wanted to run away but the bear and the wolf kept him on the ground. I ate him whole, alive… But compared to the dead woman I ate, this one is firmer.
After eating my fill, I asked my darlings to follow the scent of where the hunter came from. It took an hour before I found a wooden house. I asked my beasts to check if there are other people. As for me, I quickly approached a window. No one. To be sure, I checked all the windows. There is a child, plus a woman.
A cruel smile appeared, I passed under a slightly open window, rushing towards the mother and child. On the ceiling, my head looking down, my drool dripping from between my teeth.
"What?"
The woman felt something fall on her scalp, touching then looking, she saw something sticky.
"What is it?"
By reflex, she looked at the ceiling, she saw an insect as long as a centipede. She couldn't help but scream a little in surprise. But at the moment when the mouth opened, the insect jumped with all its might into the mouth. The lady wanted to remove it but her body began to slowly become slow, which gave the insect the opportunity to sneak in. The woman took her body in her arms howling in pain before collapsing to the ground. Only her voice of pain was heard from her.
"Mom? Is everything okay?"
The child approached his mother worried. But... Before she understood what she had, an insect came out of his mother's womb. The child screamed in fear, seeing the insect looking at him he ran out of the house.
"Dad! Help! Mommy is not well!"
Seeing the child leave, I smiled, but I did not rush to him, on the contrary I continued my meal. While I was eating, animal footsteps were heard, then a wolf appeared with the child alive.
"Mom! Mommy!"
The child could not do anything except watch me eat his mother. He wanted to escape or fight but the wolf pinned him to the ground, he could not do anything.
Finally after eating the mother entirely I looked at the child...
"No! Please! Don't eat me!"
The tears and snot came out even more violently, approaching me little by little, arriving in front of his face. Without waiting I ate his lips to have an opening before entering his body. The child screamed in pain. But finally the poison and fatigue arrived silencing him. But the more I ate inside, the more death struck the child.
"So tender! It's really healthy food and full of energy!"
Happy with my meal, I started searching the house. Finding everything that could be eaten, I didn't need asking twice. Finally the three beasts at my service came back.
"Find it?"
The three animals found several human odors, too many human odors! I followed them riding the wolf, after a little over an hour we arrived.
"A city? That's good! I'll be able to start looking for the book here!"
