Vexx was lying on the ground and gasping for air, It suddenly felt a lot easier than it had before. When he saw the messages on the screen he started thinking "Two rewards?" He continued to read.
[You have grown accustomed to the darkness]
[You have absorbed the Dark Mambas Darkness]
Vexx could feel how the first reward had already kicked in. He saw much better than before and it felt easier to breathe, Even though it didn't feel like it normally would.
Vexx looked at the second reward and couldn't figure out what it meant. After a while of thinking he just gave up and made it a problem for himself later.
Vexx felt how his stomach started to growl and his eyes went straight to the black mamba, But after a while he looked away "What am i thinking i can't eat that monster" Vexx slowly raised to his feet, Even though his whole body ached he decided to look for some sort of food that didn't look poisonous.
When he first entered the forest again he looked around but couldn't see any type of bushes anywhere so it would be impossible to find some sort of berries. After a few hours of looking for food he could see that it was getting darker and darker by every hour that passed, And he hadn't found anything that looked edible; the only thing he saw was pieces of shattered stone.
When he walked back to the Black Mamba he saw that further up the mountain there was a little cave that would be perfect as his shelter for now.
When Vexx entered the cave he immediately saw all the crushed stone in the area but it was strange it was almost nothing left of them but it was obvious that there had been stones there.
Vexx, who was very tired after fighting the big snake, almost fell asleep immediately.
Vexx woke up and yawned loudly and then slowly looked around. He immediately saw that it was much lighter in the thick fog even though it still was really dark. When he was about to go and take a look if there was anything different in the surrounding
areas he felt the pain inside his body, Even though it was better it still didn't feel good after almost being crushed by a gigantic snake.
Vexx spent the next two days searching for some sort of food but he couldn't find any.
When he had woken up on the 4th day he felt like he was about to die if he didn't get anything to eat, Vexx looked down the mountain at the big snake body and thought for a while "What's the worst that can happen.. Die maybe but i will die if i don't eat either"
When Vexx went down to the massive beast he took the stone he had used to kill it with and started cutting out a big chunk of the meat, When he put it in his mouth and started to chew it he suddenly froze and felt how every instinct in his body wanted to get it out of his body as soon as possible, But Vexx forced it down and swallowed it. "Why does it have to taste so bad?" He thought and was ready to take a second bite.
An hour later he finally felt like he was full but at the same time he also wanted to vomit everything out again. Vexx took a deep breath and stared into the woods when he suddenly heard a noise up the mountain, In the cave he saw a black creature that was around 1,5 meter tall and had a little hunched back, It was so slime that the ribs stook out of its body but didn't look weak at all, It was smashing stones with its gigant claws that were sharp enough to cut through really tough stone. Vexx looked at it and was about to leave it alone but then he suddenly saw something coming from underground; it was a dozen more of those little mole creatures not as large as the one that was up in the cave but still threatening enough to rip a human appart in no time.
The one in the cave didn't do anything but the other ran straight at Vexx with their claws close to the ground and left a scraping sound as the claws were dragged on the ground. Vexx looked at them and just ignored all of them and headed straight for the bigger one in the cave that looked like their little gang leader. He knew that if there were one leader and you took it out the other most likely would run away or at least not know what they were supposed to do.
Vexx sprinted up the mountain and still holding the bloodied stone he used to cut up the Dark Mamba with, When he was so close that he could feel how the creature started scratching at him but he just jumped back and ran around him and hit the creature in the back of its head, When he saw how the creature just turned around and started scratching everything and everywhere Vexx didn't have the time to get away from the wild monster. Right in front of him he saw how the little creature slashed him with its razor sharp claws against his chest.
Vexx staggered back and looked at his chest which was bleeding but he didn't have time to worry about himself right now. When Vexx looked down the mountain he saw how the smaller ones were about halfway up the mountain and were as ready as ever to slice.
Vexx looked at the leader of the group who looked like it's head was hurting really badly. When Vexx saw an opening he shot forward with high speed and punched the creature in the head with everything he had and heard a message appear in his mind.
[You have slayed a Dark Mournclaw]
[You have received 2 rewards]
[You have grown accustomed to the darkness]
[You have absorbed the Dark Mournclaws Darkness]
At the same time as he heard all the messages pop up in his head Vexx was already looking at the smaller Mournclaws if they would retreat but sadly they kept going.
Vexx looked around him after something he could use to fend them off when he noticed the stones that the larger one had already gathered. Vexx took them up and aimed carefully and threw it as hard as he could straight at one of the heads of the Mournclaws he saw how the mournclaw had tried to dodge but it wasn't able to avoid it in time and just got hit in the head, He kept throwing the rocks at the others.
When he half of them were left he saw that they were close but he just kept throwing the rocks at their heads
[You have grown accustomed to the darkness]
[You have grown accustomed to the darkness]
[You have grown accustomed...
When the fight was over Vexx just laid down in the cave without having the time or energy to check the difference when the message popped up. When Vexx had hit the ground he fell asleep instantly and slept through two whole days.
