Chrysalis

Having severed the stem of the plant the huge flower on top topples to one side, its comically oversized mouth thrashing about, trying to bite me until the final bit of energy leaked out of its body.

Muahahaha! After smashing through the kingdom Animalia it’s time to reap Biomass from Plantae!

There are dozens of plants scattered about the tunnel engaged in this battle, some of them attacking with vines, trying to cut and control their prey so they can bring to their cavernous mouths, whilst others employ different methods of attack. Towards the back I can see a completely different looking plant. A long tube like flower head sits atop a bulbous base, the tube on top seems to be rotating as if tracking the action. All of a sudden a huge jet of liquid erupts from the flower, gushing straight at me!

LEAP!

Pushing hard with all legs I jump upwards and to the right, narrowly dodging the spray that I can see is a very familiar sort of attack. Some of the fluid splashes over the creature I’d just killed and begins to eat away at the body at a ferocious pace. That is some serious acid!

The damned plant is aiming at me again. Quickly legs, dash!

["Hold on tight back there!"] I shout at my passengers as my legs once again fire into top gear, moving so quickly they completely blur out of sight.

"Weeeeeee!" giggles Vibrant as the air pressure has her clinging onto my carapace with only a few claws, the rest of her legs dangling behind her in the air.

I thought I said hold on you moron!

Checking on my other passenger I can see that Crinis has also extended out of a few extra tentacles to let them be blown backward by the wind. At least she was sensible enough to not let go with any of her other limbs...

I can’t wait until these troublemakers are too large to ride on my back. Not long now Anthony, hold on a little more!

Somehow the tube plant is able to track my movement and fires several short bursts of acid towards me as I race toward it, forcing me to zig and zag to throw of its aim. I can almost smell the fear of this aggressive vegetable as I close in, mandibles slowly opening wide!

*Splintering chomp!*

my own physical ones I crunch down savagely on the bulging sack at the base of the plant. As I expected, the moment my jaws puncture through the soft flesh of the plant, massive gouts of acid begin to spray out everywhere as

fatal damage. Aiming another shot at me, from point blank range I can almost feel the plant screaming at me "Damned meat bag! Take
