《Offworld》Deadly Encounter 2
Advertisement
I approached the dead predator and was about to start to absorb its energy when I heard a rustle from behind me.
Without even thinking I immediately activated my side roll skill and escaped from a surprise attack from what it looked like a frog like creature. It was about my size in height with strong stout hind legs two eyes that shined green, and colourful skin.
It just attacked me with its long tongue but it didn't catch me because of the timely side roll.
I immediately got up from the ground and took a defence position with the spear in front of me.
That tongue attack just now was very fast for me to handle and by the looks of the ground where it had landed it did a lot of damage to. The ground had now a small hole about 5 cm deep and 10 cm wide.
After the sneak attack the frog was just looking at me calmly while I on the other hand was breathing rapidly trying to fill my lungs with as much air as possible.
My hands were sweating like crazy my hair was on its ends and I felt like I was going to shit myself at any moment. The situation was really tense, but my brain was still able to conjure a plan of action.
"From what I see this creatures way of attack is with its tounge.It striked it’s pray with incredible speed not letting it have any chance of retaliation and ate them whole."
From what I just deducted I started to slowly back towards a tree trying not to make any sudden movements trying not to startle the creature.I was then going to bait the creature to attack me so that when I dodged its attack it would be left wide open .

When my back finally touched the bark of the tree I took a deep breath and shouted.
“Come to papa ,you ugly motherfucker.”
....
This whole thing from the sneak attack till now happened in less than 10 second, but because of the adrenaline it looked more like 1 minute.
As soon as I shouted towards me came the tongue flying like an arrow trying to hit me but I again did a side roll avoiding it .Without any second to lose I jumped to my feet and rushed to attack the creature from its flank before it retracted its tongue but it was too fast.
The tongue retracted in a flash taking a piece of the tree bark with it.
I was not alarmed that much and continued to close the distance between us. The creature prepared its touge attack again but I arrived faster having closed the 6 meter distance between us in less than 3 seconds and stabbed it with all my might in its throat.
THRUST
With my new skill thrust and with the momentum I had created the tip of the spear entered deeply in the creatures flesh.
*croooooaak*
The creature let out a pained sound that made my ears hurt, but I was not done with it yet. After I stabbed it on the throat I started twisting the spear repeatedly to make the wound bigger and kill it faster.
I was pretty pleased with the results of my plan but there was one thing I hadn’t taken into consideration, and that was what if the frog tried to escape ?
With its instinct to survive in the max it forgot about its wound and started to jump trying to escape but it didn't go far. The wound in its throat was very severe and about four jumps later it landed in the ground heavily.

The creature was now lying dead on the ground but I also had sustained damage by it while it was trying to escape.
When it was trying to escape I was dragged along with it because my spear which was still lodged in its throat. During its second jump I couldn’t hold the spear anymore and fell on the ground heavily.
I tried to minimize the damage by rolling but I still got a lot of bruises and scratches.
I slowly regained my breath that was knocked out of me from the fall and went to retrieve my spear that was still lodged in the creature.
The frog was as dead as it could be with its throat in a bloody mess.
I yanked the spear out just to realize that the kitchen knife that served as the spears tip had snapped and wasn’t useful anymore.
“Fucking cheap ass made in china knife, that can’t even last for a second.”
The tip was broken and the spear was not usable anymore.
“Fuck, fuck, FUCK.Cheap ass shit.”
I cussed repeatedly while also kicking the now dead frog trying to relive my stress.
After kicking the hell out of the dead frog I calmed down and started to think strait again, stretched my hand downwards and started absorbing the frog. I felt the usual refreshing feeling spreading across my body but this time it didn't end just there. A warm current spread to my wounds making them start to heal rapidly.
In about a minute my pain slowly went away along with my scratches and bruises.
I guess I just found another effect of the absorption .It directs its power to the wounds if I am hurt before absorbing it into the gem for storage.
Being almost completely healed I decided that this was the end of today’s adventure, and decided to head back. During my road back I came across the carcass from before .It was still lying there rotting in the ground giving off a disgusting smell.
My eyes shined as soon as I saw it because this was the solution of my problems .I immediately absorbed the carcass leaving behind only the skin and bones then turned my attention words its mouth that was filled with numerous sharp teeth easily detaching its lower jaw from its skull and taking it .
While I was focused on the ways I could use its teeth for example replacing the now broken knife with one of the teeth from the jaw I noticed something small and red rolling out of the skull.
It looked like a marble with red colour but when I picked it up I was immediately shocked .This small marble contained a big amount of energy inside, almost as big as the energy that was stored in the blue gem.
I restrained the instinct to absorb it and immediately put it inside my backpack.
.....
Ten minutes later trying to look for something else from the carcass, and finding nothing, I started heading back again trying to pick any fruits along the way.

Meet Josei, one of many medicine makers living in the city of red roofs. Hers is the start of many tales, home to a very special fox. Like foxes often do, this one finds himself plenty of trouble. (Thought I would be gone forever did you? I'm back again! This time with a book that actually has an ending. I know because I've written it. I will be editing each chapter then releasing it here as they're done, probably once or twice a week. It's a shorter tale than what I've written before but that was the goal from the start. I really need to learn how to finish a story so this was a big accomplishment for me. I'll be writing The Rowan Fox in several parts instead, short but hopefully sweet.) (This story is a combination of some of my favorite things: folktales, foxes, ancient forests, and feel good slice of life. I hope you like it!)
