I looked at the plant, which began to move after a moment of stillness.
It didn’t die, I could have killed it, but not without damaging its precious core. That I very much need; it is the most precious thing I have found in this realm, more than those nuggets.
Most importantly, this plant itself could be very useful. If used well, but before that happens, it will need to survive in my core.
It has great vitality, but that’s not the only thing the plants need.
This is the plant that grew in this environment. It would be hard for it to grow in another environment, but it would be able to; it would help me tremendously.
I don’t want to overestimate it, but this plant could help me as much as the slimes.
The slimes helped me tremendously. Their help had been incalculable; they played a big part in the power I have today. So, I am not joking when I say this dangerous plant could do the same.
The second half layer, the formation was charged, and I pulled it into my core.
The plant, as expected, struggled against the powerful pull. That, I want to injure it more, but that will reduce its chances of survival in my core.
I don’t want that. So, I powered the formation with every bit of energy I have.
It resisted for three and a half seconds before it entered my core. Seeing that relief filled me, and I wanted to slump to the ground.
Instead, I walked out and harvested the resources that hadn’t been destroyed.
This is another reason I want the plant.
It could help other plants grow faster, and the quality of those plants is much better. It will be amazing if it could happen in my core.
Grimms and foreigns aren’t always available for the growth energy. Time dilation helps a lot, and it will help even more.
A few minutes ago, I hadn’t thought of any of that.
My only purpose was to survive, but when there was no option but to survive by defeating it, all these things popped up in my mind.
I cleaned up the whole place. Even took some soil, which is also of far better quality, compared to the one around it.
The plant affects it too.
The soil wouldn’t help me much other than understanding the qualities of the plant.
It is a special environmental soil, but it won’t be much help to the plant. The moment it leaves the place, the energy disappears.
It happens with the soul too, the moment its connection broke with this place. It made me sigh, but I had expected it.
I looked at the place one last time before walking away from it. Since there is a plant here, there might be more of them.
This time, I will be more careful.
With that, I resumed my journey. I still could; the pressure on me hadn’t increased so much that I couldn’t.
A minute and a half passed when suddenly I froze, when I sensed the snake. Original content can be found at N()velFire.net
The monster, like the other two I had come across, is searching for something. Its eyes are looking at everything while the sensors on its scale sense the things around it.
I watched it with bated breath as it moved toward the place I had just come out.
The way it is moving, it’s likely that it has sensed it. Here, this violet energy whittles down any energy that comes in contact with it, but some still leaks out.
These monsters are very good at sensing those energies that even powerful Primes couldn’t.
I watched it leave, with fear in my heart. I might have survived the plan, but I won’t survive the monster. So, I can get caught, but if I did, I would burn my blood immediately.
It is the only way through which I might be able to survive.
It finally disappeared, but I waited for a minute more before I began to walk away slowly.
"I was really lucky," I said to myself. A few minutes late, and it would have been game over for me.
I pushed those thoughts away and moved, while feeling even more curious, about the thing that rattled the monsters here.
It’s unlikely because of the person. People make them mad when we trespass on their territory, but not this level mad; the zeal with they are searching for is something else.
I don’t know what they are searching for, but I know one thing.
I don’t want to come across what they are searching for. Because, whatever it is, it’s definitely powerful, and currently, I am at the bottom of the chain here.
Since I got the power of the Prime, it has become rare, but it does happen now and then.
These experiences can be dangerous, but they are also grounded. It keeps a person a man instead of feeling like a god.
A little over two hours passed, and I stopped.
This time, not because of the monster or any threat, but because of joy. I had finished the round of the whole place.
It is of the outer range, but I did it. It wasn’t easy, but I did and found a lot of nuggets. They are more than I thought I would find, but not enough to fill my needs.
I need more, and I want to search for more, but I am not going to do that today.
My original plan was to search for the metal nuggets as much as I could, but seeing the dangers I came across and the rattled monsters, I decided to take a break for today.
I hope tomorrow, the monsters will be calm. It would make a lot of things much safer.
With that thought, I walked toward the exit of the violet zone. My tests proved my abode could stay in this environment, but I had taken enough risks today.
I will stick to the data today and to the practical tomorrow.
A man walked into a destroyed place. Feeling surprised. ’It’s not easy to deal with that plant,’ said the master. "Yes, that little plant wasn’t weak," replied the man.
’A person is better than the monster. Focused on finding it,’ said the master.
"Of course," replied the man.
Earlier attempts against the monster had failed, but he was not someone to give up; he would try again while searching for the person who had killed the little plant.
