Chrysalis
Chapter 71
The second trap is almost halfway done when I hear another crashing thud, followed by a furious roar.
Once again a visitor has decided to grace my humble hotel! Welcome dear guest! Manuel, take their bags! Gweheheh.
Chortling to myself I crawl out of my second pitfall and rush to the first. Tiny is standing up in his tree abode, excitedly staring down at the hapless monster caught in the pit. The little ape is practically drooling, he’s become so hungry.
I get that you’re hungry little guy but really?! Try to maintain a little dignity.
As much as I try to ignore it my stomach is also growling. After all of this work digging I’ve worked up quite the appetite.
Approaching the side of my trap I peer down to see exactly what monster I’ve managed to reel in this time.
Greeting me from the bottom of the pit is a particularly furious looking giant centipede. The centipede very quickly begins to right itself after falling into the pit, a mess of sticks and foliage tangling in its legs.
This guy again huh.
Where once upon a time I felt hugely threatened by the massive centipedes, I just can’t muster the same kind of fear for them anymore. They might be much larger than the original claw centipedes but they remain fairly stupid with limited ways to attack. In fact, due to its increased size and reduced mobility, the most threatening weapon of the claw centipede, its poison spike, is rendered almost completely useless against me.
POW!
I dispense justice in the form of acid from my business zone down onto my prey before leaping directly into the pit to do battle.
There were several reasons why I thought pitfalls would be a safer way to hunt in the current forest, one of which was the ability to isolate the battle somewhere the sound and scent of the battle would be somewhat muted. Combined with the natural advantage of battling against a monster after it has fallen and become entangled this method seemed promising to my mind.
So far it has proven to be effective. I’ll be very interested to see if I can finish this battle quickly enough without drawing any further monsters from the surrounds.
Just as the centipede is able to right itself my acid rains down, once again entangling legs that had only moments ago become free. Hissing furiously the centipede writhes and twists in knots as the pain and discomfort mounts. At this time I land directly onto the carapace of my prey, gripping tightly with my claws, pushing my grip skill to the limit.
