Chapter 45 My Mother is a giant monster (1/2)

I can feel something under my head. It's solid, like, a rock? My legs are so heavy as well, how long have I been asleep? I try to stretch my arms out and can't for some reason…. Where the heck are my arms?

Wait…

I don't have arms anymore! Then it all comes flooding back. The fight, the ants, the ape! What the heck happened? Am I alive?

I try to spring up to my feet but a solid force is holding me down. What the heck?! Am I still under attack?

My vision swings wildly before finally settling and I can see an enormous monster above me, pressing me down with one large leg.

Wha!? What is this thing? Don't eat me! I'm not delicious!

It takes a moment for my head to settle down. I haven't been harmed I don't think? The force on my back is pressing me down but not harming me in anyway. I quickly check my status. I'm at about half HP? I remember being next to dead…

Err.. Where did these levels come from?

I've gained three whole levels? Is this from the Bat-Gorilla? I don't really remember how that fight ended…

And as I look closer as this ma.s.sive monster above me… isn't it an ant?

Like, a ma.s.sive ant?

Hang on a second? The QUEEN?

A truly enormous monstrous ant, easily four times my size is standing over me, pressing me down to the ground and watching me as I wake up. Slowly she leans forward and her antennae begin to glow brightly.

When those antennae touch mine I can feel a surge of icy energy sweep through my body. I'm shocked at first but then it reminds of something, my regeneration gland! Is she healing me?

Checking my status I can see that I've gained another ten HP. This is a bit of a surprise, the Queen knows healing magic?

Suddenly the pressure from my back is gone and I can stand up. The Queen turns away from me to pick something up in her mandibles and turns back, dropping a huge chunk of monster in front of me. I think this is… the apes arm?!

After dropping off some food for me the ma.s.sive Queen chirps in a friendly manner before turning and wandering off around a corner, leaving me in a small dirt chamber on my own.

Ok Anthony, lets cool down and think about this.

*growl*

My stomach is seriously rumbling. Why the heck am I so hungry?! Let's think as we eat then.

[You have consumed a new source of Bioma.s.s: Pugnus Fulgur Simiae, you are awarded one Bioma.s.s]

[Basic profile of the Pugnus Fulgur Simiae unlocked]

[Pugnus Fulgur Simiae: Lightning Fist Ape, Brutally powerful but severely lacking in Cunning this monster has a strong affinity to lightning and can channel mana into electricity]

Not wrong about those electrical attacks, yeeouch! Quite the formidable monster but I do have to agree, it was very stupid. I would hate to run into a monster that powerful with some semblance of smarts, unable to trick it I'd be quickly defeated.

[You have gained one Bioma.s.s]

[You have gained one Bioma.s.s]

Two whole Bioma.s.s just from eating one arm? That is unheard of? Is it because it's an advanced creature of some kind? Possibly I was right and it was double mutated, so it provides more Bioma.s.s? It certainly gave me a heap of Xp, enough to level three times even after I evolved.

Although the pain of hunting them is real the benefits cannot be denied. If I was able to get a whole one to myself….

Whoa, snap out of it Anthony, you almost died fighting this one! No need to go planning to throw your life away already!

So, how did I end up here anyway? And where exactly is here?!

Since the Queen is here then that can mean only one thing! I'm in the nest! Since I pa.s.sed out when battling, my allies must have dragged me back here to be healed when they brought the food back also, which means the t.i.tan-Croc should have also bit the dust…

Go team!
