Chapter 138 - 138. Lizard-Snake

Rain found a narrow stream as he sat down to wash and clean the deer. He took out a small knife he kept around his waist and started to clean the deer and take the parts that could be eaten. 

When working, Rain looks around the forest and sees a pink-eared squirrel on a tree's branch. It is also a rare animal, like the deer he is cleaning. 

"I thought they were extinct." and knife in his hand suddenly flew and sank into the body of the squirrel. Rain stands up and picks up the squirrel from the ground. He then with the squirrel returns beside the deer.

" This place is like a nature conservatory." Rain in the hour arriving here found three rare and two extinct animals. Heat deer, double-headed wolves, and Bull-headed snakes are very rare in the outside world, most of them are raised in captivity by nobles and powerful people because of their value.

He saw the two extinct animals White Crow and Pink eyed squirrel. They are killed into extinction because of their value. White Crows do not have much value when it is a ordinary animals but when they become monsters they are value increases by 10 times. After they evolve to become monsters, a crystal is formed in their body, which is a rare soul crystal as they can absorb the soul of the dead.

He saw an ordinary white crow, so it was still alive or it would been dead like the pink-eyed squirrel in his hand. Rain with much precision cut out the eyeballs of the pink-eyed squirrel and bought one of them near his right eye. 

Then Rain senses the energy in the eyeball after he senses the energy. He absorbs the energy eyeball to his right eye. After finishing this Rain does the same with their left eye. Then threw the body and eyeballs of the pink-eyed squirrel aside and went to clean the deer.

Time passes, Rain in his hand carrying the skinned and clean body of the deer arrives at the campsite. When he finds it, Narisa forms a fire and creates two pods above from tree branches. 

Seeing him, Narisa speaks," You return, you can season the deer with the paste I prepared."

Rain finds the paste on a large leaf ties the deer to a large broken tree branch and starts seasoning it. Rain looks at Narisa while he is preparing the deer meat, and sees her walking out of their camp.

Rain speaks," Where are you going?"

She turns to Rain and speaks, "I found a night tree. I am going to bring some of the tree leaves."

Rain hearing the night tree speaks," Good idea, I came upon a lone double-headed wolf." The trees are called night trees as their main usage is in the night outside in the open. Burning its leaves creates a smoke that masks the scent around the smoke.

Narisa was surprised," There is a double-headed wolf in the forest."

Rain," Yes, and I came upon a white crow and pink-eyed squirrel. The crow was an ordinary realm animal so I left it alone and the squirrel...." Rain's pupils turn pink showing he absorbs the energy of the squirrel's eyeballs.

Narisa exclaims," The forest is inside a cavern, and very difficult to find." Rain nods at her as they were able to come here by accident. And if next time Rain is to find the forest from the cavern below Torain, he will be unable to.

And time passes, as Rain and Narisa finish the entire deer with flush faces. Rain looks at Narisa," We should go and rest." 

Narisa nods at Rain and without answering Rain climbs on a tree and enters a pod. Rain looks at her and enters another pod hanging on the tree branches. And lay on the pod's floor and closed his eyes to sleep.

Rain already used his right hand thrice but still not working. He is unable to sleep, as he twists and turns. His right hand again four times went to his waist below and started work. When he hears the Princess," Glenn, are you sleeping?"

Rain, "No, I cannot sleep." after a few moments he continues," Today, I understood why the Heat Deer is rare."

Narisa," If we want to solve our current dilemma, there is only one solution as effective as Heat Deer meat stays for a whole day without its cure."

Rain understands what care she is talking about and there is no way he will say no to a gorgeous girl. But for her, as she being a girl is also a princess," Will it be okay for you."

Narisa," Why will not be okay with me, I may look like you but I am 10 years older than you."

Rain," Then I am coming to your Pod." Rain quickly sat up, he heard Narisa," Wait."

Rain is confused she will come or not to the cure. Before he can ask why waits, his pod starts shaking and starts moving toward Narisa's Pod. Rain watches in fascination as the right side of the pod unfurls and the branches connect with Narisa's Pod.

Now Rain in the darkness of the pod stares at the silhouette of Narisa. For a better look, Rain's pupils turn pink and he can see Narisa lying on the pod staring at him with a flush face her right hand inside her pants.

---------

Rain's eyes open, as he hears the sound of wolves howling. He finds Narisa's head on his chest and he slowly untangles her. He crawls and opens the door of the pod to look outside and find outside in complete darkness. He hears and senses Narisa stirring awake.

Rain speaks," We should start to find an existence."

Narisa," Then quickly get dressed and get out."

Rain," Narisa, do you know any light source that is synch with the sun? According to me outside the cavern now is night time."

Narisa," Sun crystals, absorb the sunlight and produce light like the sun. And for the entire cavern to lighten up, there must be a Sun crystal vein in the ceiling and a hole in the ceiling for the sunlight to pass."

Rain nods and starts to get dressed after he finishes dressing as he starts to climb down the pod, he hears," This was the last time for us and there will be no repeat."

Rain did not reply to her and jumped down to the ground.

-----

Time flew and two passed, Rain and Narisa were hiding in a bush staring at a tree with silver color teardrop shape fruits hanging on the tree. The fruit is called Silver Tear fruit taking it strengthens the bones. 

Narisa says," You stay here, I will take care of the lizard snake." As she starts to get up from the bush, Rain squeezes her hand," Be careful." Which led Narisa to peck on Rain's lips and stand up. " It will be easy to fight, I am a late 3rd realm where the lizard-snake is a beginning second-realm monster which makes it strength same as a beginning third-realm professional." Saying these she steps out of the bush in the clearing around the tree for the lizard-snake to spot her from where it is resting beside the tree.

Rain and Narisa roam the forest for two days coming upon many rare and extinct plants and animals but they do not find the hole in the ceiling or an exit from the forest. From Narisa pecking his lip anyone can guess their relationship advanced after doing so for the first time. After they did it, it was like opening a flood gate and in the two days, they did it any chance they got. 

Rain Flush thinks this and shakes his head to vanish this thought as the lizard-snake stands up and now is hissing facing Narisa. The lizard snake is an animal with the body of a snake and with legs of a lizard. Rain thought it was exactly similar looking like a dartini but it had four legs. 

"Without the legs, I would have thought it as a dartini." Rain whispers under his breath as the lizard-snake lets out a roar and birds and insects around all become silent as a tense atmosphere surrounds the place. 

Seeing Narisa not stop as it walked toward it, the lizard-snake opened its mouth and white mist flew out in all directions able and surrounding Narisa. Rain is unable to see Narisa in the white mist and his soul sense is unable to spot Narisa. He found he was unable to find her in his soul sense because of the demon seal inheritance.

Another name of the demon seal is the monster soul seal, it's a monster inside the body on every realm advances. Narisa's body contains two monster souls and the first monster's soul she sealed was an unseen lizard, it's hid itself so well in the one realm higher are unable to spot it in any way. 

When Narisa absorbed its soul it was a second realm monster, now it is a third realm, if Narisa uses the monster's ability a fourth realm is unable to see her and Rain is only the second realm. And not finding Narisa in his soul sense it's her passive ability. 

Rain watches as the mist disappears, the ground covered by ice but no Narisa anywhere. Rain looks around without finding her and then he finds her standing behind the lizard-snake head with her sword in her hand with which she decipticate the lizard-snake.

Rain stands up, and walks toward Narisa," The fight ends quickly."

Narisa shrugs," It's two small realms lower than me." she plucks a fruit sits down, and eats the fruit. Rain sees her closing her eyes and meditating. Rain walks toward the tree and reaching the tree, he plucks three fruit as they are near each other and sits down.

He put a fruit inside his mouth and started eating the fruit. As the fruit enters his stomach, Rain falls a stomach cold and then his bones start feeling cold and pain. Rain closes his eyes and meditates to ride through the pain. After the pain vanished, Rain took another fruit. 

After some time the third fruit effect vanishes, Rain opens his eyes finding Narisa staring at him," What?"

Narisa shakes her head," Nothing." she stands up to look at the rest of the fruits hanging on the tree," Do you want another one."

Rain shakes his head and stands up," No, the third fruit only strengthens my bone slightly. So no use for taking the fourth fruit."

Narisa nods," Then let's gather all the fruit and eat the lizard-snake meat."

Rain nods and starts to pluck the fruits from the tree, as he picks up all the fruit, he hands them to Narisa. Rain watched as she put them inside her space bracelet. Rain spoke an idea that in his mind for the past day," Narisa, We should roam around the entire forest. There may be more rare resources inside the forest like yesterday's golden berries, bluefin fish, and today's Silver tear tree."

Narisa remains silent for a few seconds walks toward the lizard snake and starts to remove its skin, " I agree with you."

Rain walks toward her and stands there watching as she removes the skin of the entire lizard snake and divides it into 6 pieces. Rain takes a piece and the rest she puts in her space ring. The piece is smaller than the deer they ate two days ago but the meat in his hand is a 

Rain speaks," I go and clean the meat and catch some bluefin fish. Today I am going to cook soup with them." Rain starts to walk toward a stream with blue-fin fish. As he walked his thoughts went to Narisa's fight with lizard-snake. Which was a letdown, Rain thought Narisa with much difficulty killed the lizard snake and did not kill it with one move.

Rain wanted to see the second monster soul seal inside Narisa. She kept the second monster's soul a secret from Rain. But when Narisa dedicated the lizard snake's head he spots her snake flash a black light on its edge. And then it teleported from behind the lizard snake's head to its front.

He calls it teleportation because the memory is stored in his mind, and he views the memory using the soul chip at a slow speed like 100 times slower but Rain is unable to see the sword's moving trajectory from the back of the lizard-snake's head to its front.

" The monster's soul must be from a space monster." Rain stops as he finds in his soul a second-rank monster in his 50-meter soul sense radius. It is sleeping above a tree branch and from its body shape, a "Leopard monster." He stops walking straight and walks to his right to bypass the leopard from a distance.
