Poisonous Fog

[You need to collect 9 more parchments to view its certain stats]

Now he understood it.

He looked around to see if he could find anything useful, But he found nothing.

After his rebirth, he didn't have anything except bone, so he decided to feast on its body. Before he could feast on this Bronze earthworm, he needed to find a safe place, where nobody will disturb him. He knew he would be almost immobile after stuffing himself, as before.

Neither he could carry this huge body while searching for the safe place, nor he could leave it here. Even though, he hadn't found any other monster except this bronze earthworm and skeleton, after arriving in this summit, who could say there would not be any.

He remembered every system in the novel, having the ability to store object. His system was different, from what he understood. But he decided on asking Mia.

"Mia do you have space storage or something that can store this dead body?"

[NO]

He felt disappointed.

[But you can store it inside your body.]

The excitement was written on his face.

"How?"

[There are two types of a stomach in your body. Normal stomach for digesting and void stomach for storing things.]

[void stomach = 2 meter cubes]

He didn't expect that.

Zynx focused inside his body. He saw, his normal stomach. If you were inside it and look around, then you could view thorn like thing, producing poison, surrounding you. But besides stomach, you could see the black point of size 5 mm. This must be the void stomach.

He focused on it, there was darkness and nothing more, as he had not stored anything.

"Mia, how should I store this body?"

[Swallow it and think about it being engulfed by void.]

He followed the instruction of Mia and stored the dead body inside him. He looks inside his void stomach, he saw dead body occupying almost all storage. He couldn't store any more.

In the future, he had to store much more huge object than this. So he needed huge storage space.

"Mia, How should I increase my void stomach?"

[For now, the only way is leveling up]

From her word, he understood there must be another way to increase it, but since the system didn't tell him, it might not be possible for him now.

He looked around to see if he had missed anything and found two eyeballs lying on the ground. He slithered toward it and swallowed it. Since it was small, it would not take much time for it to digest.

He then advanced for the search of a safe place.

After searching for more than an hour, he still could not find the place. Most of the place contains monster footprint, feces or monster lair.

He decided to look around from a higher place, might be this way, he could find something. He searched for tallest dead tree and slither on it. After reaching the top, he looked around.

There was not much tree, the terrain was flat, so he could view the landscape clearly.

He came from the east, he didn't want to go back there.

Mountain was present in the west, he could see monster present in there, some were in a group, while some were alone.

While in the south he could see the grayish thing moving around, it must be a skeleton.

He saw north was surrounded by greenish fog.

There was no monster in the north, it looked like, the monster was afraid of that fog.

"Mia, What is that fog?"

[It is poison.]

After learning, it was poison, he made the decision to go north as there was no monster there, and he also wanted to try absorbing this green fog. If there was a danger, then he can retreat.

After traveling for 30 min, he reached there. When he entered inside the fog, he realized, when fog touches his body it got absorbed inside him.

[You have entered inside the poisonous fog]

He focused inside his body, found fog following the direction to his poison sac. When this fog touched the poison inside his poison sac, it got dissolved in it, changing the transparent poison of his into, little greenish color.

[Quality of poison is increasing]

He felt excited. This green fog was poisonous, absorbing just a little amount causes his poison concentration to increase. If he could absorb more, then he could kill the enemy more quickly.

He was just in an outer circle, so he thought about going towards the center.

When he planned to go inside, he heard something flying over him. He looked upward, saw a bird-like monster. It was bigger than him, but he could not see it clearly because of the distance between them and fog.

The direction monster traveling, was toward the center of this poisonous fog, so he gazed at it with expectation. He wanted to understand what will happen to it.

It was flying at a height of 30 m from the ground when it was above him. But along with it, reaching toward the center of poison fog, its speed and its height slightly decreased. He continued gazing at its, until he no longer could see it, because of poisonous fog.

He also decided to go towards the center, as poison didn't affect him, instead increases his poison quality due to his poison body, so he had nothing to fear.

While traveling towards the center, he saw small pieces of bone in the process of dissolving.

After some time of traveling, he saw a large hole in the distance and inside of it, he could see a black thing. He became curious, so he moved towards it. When he was 10 m away from the hole, he became shocked, as he could clearly see what it was, it was the bird from before.

He thought, it had already crossed this poison fog, but it was lying in there, closing its eye.

"Mia, is it dead?"

[No, it is only poisoned]

He became excited if he could kill it, then he could get a huge amount of experience. Even though this monster was poisoned, he needed to be cautious, so he asked.

"How powerful is it?"

[It is much more powerful than you, it has average stats of 3, but because of poison its stat is decreasing.]

"If I can get the last hit on it then can I get experience from it?"

[You can, but you have to wait for more than 12 hours for 100% probability of defeating it.]

He became excited about getting experience, without doing anything, so he didn't mind waiting for 12 hours. But in order to not waste time and emptied his void stomach, he decided to consume the body of bronze earthworm, as he thought nobody with the right mind would want to die, by coming in a place like this.

Before swallowing dead body, he decided to make some distance between him and this bird. He didn't want to fight with it while digesting.

After increasing distance between them, he took out a dead body from his body, and swallowed it again, this time for digestion.

After swallowing it, his size increased because of consuming its whole.

[Time for digestion — 10 hours]

He expected it, to take more time, but it only needed 10 hours. It might be due to his level up.
