Liam continues on with his exploring after twenty minutes of sneaking and straining his nose he catches a smell of a monster.
It took him another 5 minutes to see it with his eyes as it was feasting on a body of a small lizard
Utilizing the Stealth skill as much as possible he was able to close in on the centipede without it noticing. And with immense speed, he gained from the strengthened legs and the use of the buff from the skirt he closes the 1.7 meters from where he was to the head of the centipede smashing it
in with the Rock killing it instantly.
_Level 4 Dirt Centipede killed_
"Haa" 'It's so much better when they don't notice you' as Liam thinks this he hears a clicking sound as another four centipedes come out fro a different entrance. Quickly getting up Liam takes out an Exploding rock and throws it at the centipede. As soon as the rock hits it creates an explosion, the explosion killing one centipede and destroying half of the body while taking out a chunk out of another centipede.
_Level 3 Dirt Centipede killed_
_Lvl up_
But soon after Liam realizes his mistake as small pieces of rock fly towards him at high speeds, luckily he protected his eyes just in time but the shrapnel still gave him quite a few scratches.
And even though all this has transpired the centipedes rushed at him with even more ferocity he doesn't even have time to be happy about the level up. Grabbing out the dagger he quickly stabs with it at the centipede that lunged at him. Cracking through its carapace with some resistance although this wouldn't usually instantly kill the centipede it was in deep and the shock struck frying the centipede and numbing it giving Liam enough time to stab it again killing it this time.
_Level 2 Stone Centipede killed_
This was an evolved version but once again Liam wasn't given any time as he was bitten while he was caught up with the Stone Centipede. The 3rd centipede that bit him wasn't as strong as the one before but it was still a stone centipede and it gave a slight wound riping some muscles and it hurt. Quickly making the Fire Bolt spell in his mind he fires at the injured centipede as it was lunging at him killing it and quickly stabbing through the head of the Centipede that bit him killing it as well.
_Level 3 Dirt Centipede killed_
_Level 1 Stone Centipede killed_
_Lvl up_
"Haaaaaaa" 'Mental note centipedes go in groups, well at least I have enough for the new skill'
Skills: Upgrade
Skill Points: 1
'Stealth leveled up, huh well I guess I did sneak in pretty well' Liam starts eating the Level 2 Stone Centipede as well as taking a bite out of a Dirt one for the skill point and Biomass. In the end, he was only able to finish off one centipede and start on the second. There was no wat to store any more than some pieces of meat in the bag.
+19 Biomass
'Now that I think about it how do I even stuff so much in me and I do digest stuff abnormally quickly, well not like I can get an answer. Also, it's quite hard to fight and cast at the same time may be an Intelligence and wisdom upgrade would help.' Liam opens up the mutations and upgrades his ears to 5 and eyes to 3 and chooses an evolution for the ears and confirms it.
Enhanced Hearing- better hearing able to hear from a bigger distance and distinguish sounds better (From now on it will be the same for the nose just heightened Smelling).
"Arghh..." he closes his eyes as the pain is very unbearable. After a few more minutes he was able to stuff down some more of the stone centipede finishing off the second one fully and replacing the meat in his bag with meat from one of the earth centipedes.
+6 Biomass
Clenching his teeth he adds the biomass to his eyes. Although the pain wasn't as bad it still hurt like hell.
'Let's keep going' Liam continues to walk down the tunnel after 10 more minutes he finished the centipede meat he had in the bag.
+3 Biomass
He once again upgrades his eyes making them plus 5, the menu appears in front of him as he looks through it for a suitable evolution and he found one that looked very useful.
Predicting Eyes- allows you to see a few dozen milliseconds into the future
He chooses this option for obvious reasons. Liam clenches his teeth as he upgrades his eyes.

Liam's nose and ears register a different sound and smell than before. A smell monsters don't have and a sound they don't make...
The only thing that would make this sound when walking is a pair of boots. But the question is who is wearing those boots and what kind of person is he or she? Liam quickly uses Stealth and hides waiting for them to come to him, from what he hears there are four people walking towards him.
One steady unchanging and heavy filled with confidence, One wavering, and changing lacking the confidence of the first one, the third one is steady and light almost silent and the forth is light as well although not as silent.
