Chrysalis

Chapter 17

That centipede was not a pretty sight… ripped right in half, with its internal organs spilling out…

Urk….

However I couldn't pass up the precious opportunity that the hideous remains of the creature represented. Sweet, sweet biomass!

Using all of my guile, I retrieved the corpse, one half at a time and returned to the security of my nest for the ….. Feast.

Holy moly this is awful eating.

This is almost so disgusting I would rather starve. Almost. This is a very key word, almost. Would you like to starve to death Anthony, or eat this pile of smashed centipede? I would rather eat, but only just!

[You have gained one Biomass]

Huh.

It seems each creature usually contains one biomass.

Something interesting that I pay more attention to this time is the leftovers. I can't eat every part of these monsters, the fangs, the carapace, teeth and anything else that is too hard for me to ingest, so what happens to these pieces?

After I wait more than an hour a faint blue glow begins to surround these pieces and before my very eyes they sink into the ground.

What the….

Creepy!

These left over materials are being absorbed straight back into the soil? Does that mean this cavern network is absorbing monster pieces from all over? What for?!

The more I learn the more questions I have…

Well, now for the important business. I currently have three Biomass and one skill point to spend. Firstly the biomass.
