Chapter 52: Harvesting and Killing 1

52- Harvesting and Killing 1

I was observing Armelia, after she drank the MP potion to see what happens when someone other than me drinks the MP potion. But after waiting for few seconds, there was no reaction from Armelia.

Armelia was looking at me weirdly, then asked

Hey, why dont I feel any taste when I drank this so called Energy drink? Are you sure you gave the original drink and not any faulty one?

Hearing Armelia, my expression became weird. Because I never thought that there will be no reaction when someone drinks a MP potion. And if there is no reaction when Armelia drank MP potion, then I wonder if the HP potion will be the same. Although I wanted to experiment on HP potion, but I held back that thought.

And the other reason is that Armelia is doubting the authenticity of the MP potion. I mean like, do I have to cheat her into drinking something faulty? I dont know whether to laugh or cry when I heard her doubting me.

So, I can only helplessly reply

Hey its an authentic Energy drink and you also saw me drinking a similar drink. I dont know whats wrong, but I can guarantee that its an original drink.

Armelia nodded when she heard my answer but from the looks, I can guess that she is still doubting if there was something wrong with the drink.

As we were walking, I asked the system

System, why did MP potion not work on Armelia? And will the HP potion be the same?

ding

MP potion is only compatible with the Hosts body, as the host has system which is a key factor in helping the host digest MP potion and recover MP.

As for the HP potion, its the same. Only hosts body can use HP potion.

So, thats how it is. But that means my first business plan failed before even it started.

Although the reality is cruel, I can only look for other business options, but before that, first I have to get out of this forest.

As we were walking, Armelia suddenly stopped walking and made a gesture indicating to stay quiet and follow her.

I dont know whats wrong with Armelia suddenly, but I still followed her quietly.

After walking for few meters, we hid behind the bushes and I also activated Stealth skill.

Hey, be quiet and do not make any noise. There are lot of snakes ahead and they are sensitive to sounds.

Said Armelia in my ears in a low voice. It was almost inaudible.

When I heard this, I was stunned and immediately became alert. Slowly we poked our heads out of the bush and looked in the direction in which Armelia was looking.

Sure enough, there were lot of snakes. At least about 30-40. And each snake belonged to the same species which can be known from their colour and other features.

The snakes had peach pink colour and the smallest snake was about 1 meter. And the largest snake I could find was at least 5 meters in size. And when looking at these group of snakes, I got goosebumps & my back got cold due to sweat.

I used the Observation skill on these snakes.

----------------------

Beginning Stage Snake monster, 100 HP

Beginning Stage Snake monster, 110 HP

Refinement Stage Snake monster, 250 HP

Beginning Stage Snake monster, 112 HP

Refinement Stage Snake monster, 260 HP

Low- Level Evolver Stage Snake monster, 400 HP

Medium- Level Evolver Stage Snake monster, 450 HP

'Demi-Human Stage Snake monster, 1000 HP

.

---------------------

From the looks of it, I understood the levels of the monsters.

The snakes which are of 1 or 2 meters are in Beginning stage, while the snakes of 3 meters are in Refinement Stage, 4 meters snakes are in Evolver stage and the 5-meter snake is in Demi-Human stage.

There are about 15 Beginning stage, 12 Refinement stage, 6 Evolver and 1 Demi-Human stage snake monster.

Maybe it was because my Observation skill has levelled up, due to which I am also able to see HP of the monsters along with their cultivation levels. I wonder what extra information will I be able to see, when the Observation skill levels up next time.

There are totally 34 Snakes, I am really tempted to kill them as they are my exp banks. If I could kill all the snakes here then, I can at least level up a dozen times or even more times. By then my chances of survival will increase while I am in the inner area of the Dark Forest.

But I can only hold back that thought, because that would be way stupid. Like I will not be able to overcome 34 monsters at the same time. Leave 34 snake monsters, I dont think I would be able to handle even the 6 Evolver snakes. And the Demi-Human stage snake is out of the question.

So, it would be better if Armelia and I could sneak away from here. And pray that these snakes dont discover us before we are far away from here.

Just as I was preparing to tell Armelia that we should sneak away from here, I stopped as I saw that the Demi-Human stage snake was protecting something. But I was not able to see clearly and know what it was. But after waiting for a few dozen seconds, the Demi-Human snake moved and then the thing that it was protecting came into view.

It was a purple mushroom. And from the looks only one could feel that it is too much poisonous.

Once again, I used Observation skill, but this time I received a huge surprise and the systems notification rang

ding

Observation skill Levelled up

Purple Dome Mushroom: Poisonous

Rarity: F Rank

If there is any human under Refinement stage, within 1 meter radius range of this mushroom, then that human will die within 5 seconds. Only Transformation Realm cultivators can touch or pick this mushroom.

System Advice: This mushroom can help host in reducing the poison effect existing within the host body.

Currently, Loss of HP is 1 HP per 1 Minute. If the Purple Dome Mushroom is consumed, then the Loss of HP will be 1 HP per 2 minutes.

Well...Ok? This is simply a double huge surprise.

Firstly, my Observation skill got levelled up. Which means now I can get more data or information, when I use Observation skill on any object or living thing.

Secondly, I found something that can help me fight against the poison in my body and delay the HP issue, which made me restless.

Maybe this Purple dome Mushroom proves a saying or a theory

Poison kills Poison.

And from the systems description, I feel this theory is true.
