Wooden scaled lizard

It was almost night time when Peter decided to find a clearing and set up a camp, due to his abilities [Nature Eyes] he was able to gather possible resources that he can use for camping tonight.

During his time gathering materials Peter had stumbled upon another thug boar, however this one has no tattoo on his skin so he also hunt this creature as he was curious about the difference of the two.

right now Peter have gather five types of plants, two kinds of wood and two monster. He tried to pick one random wood on the ground, however it is usually half star quality while the others are really brittle in nature.

What he needed right know is something sturdy and of good quality to use as a make shift weapon in case his knife broke down.

...

Peter found a small clearing in a nearby pond wherein he decided to setup his camp.

He started checking first the perimeter to see if there's anything that will suddenly attack him. throughout his life Peter has always been cautious about everything, because back then a single misstep from him may lead to others learning the crimes that he had done, thus foiling his plans.

The area seems clear to him as he decided to take a look a second time, this time with his [Nature Eyes]

Everything looks the same as earlier, there's nothing special about the plants that is surrounding him, the area has a good shade and you can easily see if there's someone or something that is approaching.

He glanced around the area using his [Nature Eyes] when he noticed something weird on a certain tree.

This tree in front of him has a buldge and one would probably not notice it in a even if you look closely as it looks really similar to the other trees in the vicinity.

Peter picked up a stone on the ground and aik carefully to the said tree, with an accurate precision Peter manage to throw the rock on the upper part of the buldge of the said trees.

Scrahhh!!

A sharp roar came out of the tree, as the bludge immediately move down and run towards his attacker.

Peter immediately prepares himself as a lizard with a wooden skin suddenly lunge at him.

with his [Nature Eyes] activated Peter managed to get a detailed look on the lizard as he quickly duck to dodge the upcoming attack. his eyes immediately follow the lizard as it circle around him to blend in the surrounding and immediately lunging at him again.

Peter manageed to duck again but this time he had his knife raised upwards slicing the belly of the lizard. though it is quite hard Peter managed to deal a decent damaged to the lizard enough to weaken it.

Not wasting the opportunity, peter quickly chase the injured lizard and deal the finishing blow.

After killing this wood looking lizard, Peter heaved a sigh of relief and check again his surroundings to see if there's anymore camouflage monsters around before picking up the dead lizard and started cleaning it in the nearby pond.

Peter immediately set up a temporary camp using things he found in the woods. he first set up where he will be sleeping using branches of trees and some large leaves, then he use a thin vine as a make shift rope to tie everything

after completing the tent Peter heard a notification.

[You have succesfully created a Makeshift tent * without blueprint]

with the tent done he know started making fire with wood and rocks, Peter was laughing at himself as he finally able to use the fire making skill that he practiced back at his home before.

"those Videos sure are great" Happy with successfully creating fire Peter started to lay down the materials he gather on a wide leaf so that he can study it.

The first one that he study is the thug boar meat because he was wondering why does one have a tattoo while the other does not.

The answer to the question that the first Inked thug boar that he captured has a special blood that grant it an ability depending on the element and design of the tattoo and quite possibly of Peter wanted a tattoo he can use this blood to get an extra ability.

"So the former is like a regular mob while the later is rare monster." Peter study more and more about the difference of the two, how it change quality but having its meat have the same half star quality until he finally decided to cook the two meats and put it in a comparison.

while waiting for the meat to cook he grabbed the upside down mushroom that he get from a little tree and study it. He tried to smell, cooked, taste and other things to this mushrooms however it seems to only have one effect.

it's an aphrodisiac. the type that will let own mushroom grow and make it harder for a longer period of time.

Embarrassed on what happened to him, he continued to study all the things he had gathered after the effect of the aphrodisiac mushroom runs out.

After a while the boar meat that he was cooking was already cooked and is ready for consumption.

He first eat the regular thug boar meat and when he took a bite the meat was really tough and hard to chew. but nonetheless has a certain flavor to it and it's quality may change once he have better equipment.

Next was the Inked thug boar and to his surprise the meat was really tender! however the taste pales in comparison to the regular one.

"Maybe because of all the ink the meat was somehow contaminated??"

regardless of his theory was right or wrong he still eat both meats as it will still give him some status points.
