Oasis Community Part Two

A blood shower, painting the rock and earth. The monster stood looking at half of his chest, his ribs and meat are dangling.

He wanted to make a coherent speech, but couldn't, then he died just like that.

I intend to make friend with him. He might be our guardian angel, And I help him evolve. But he has to choose the death path.

My ability is still mysterious, but by now I learn how to use it on the battlefield.

Here is how it works.

I activate the ability, (becoming intangible)

I enter a beast body, then deactivating the ability (becoming tangible).

If I'm inside a solid structure with my ability active. I can move around easily. But the moment I turn it off I will be expelled. As if squeezing water out of rubber container.

The deeper I'm, the stronger the expulsion force. Also, if I force the ability to turn off quickly, then the expulsion will be greater.

By sinking myself into the ground I can use that to change direction and make myself propelled to air or any direction of the expulsion.

After gaining certain understandings, I can resist the expulsion for a moment, depending on the strength of the substances.

If it's water, I can easily become tangible, without a puss and the water will tear off to make me occupied the location.

But on hard ground or other rigid substance, I can hold for only a few seconds to minutes depending on the substance rigidity, but the effect of expulsion force will increase.

when sink in a ground and propelled to about fifty claws in the air. But if I resisted the force for a some seconds, the force will built up. I might reach up to hundred claws.

A living thing, like this unfortunate beast, was somehow easy to resist. And because of that, the place I latch myself burst open, allowing my intangibility to realize.

......................................

I have the flock fight the snakes, and I clean the mess after word.

My plans were set in motion.

1. List of activities needed as soon as possible;

2. Making a large cave on one of the largest rocks in the vicinity.

3. Small caves on other rocks.

4. Identification of suitable locations for raising earthworms.

5. Identification of all the plants in the vicinity, whether edible or not

6. Scouts training, which is the most important.

Chweeeeee

"ASSEMBLE" I chirp to the best of my ability. Yet I went to each one of them dragging them to the location of the giant rock.

I repeat "assemble" while looking at each one of them. Again and again, repeatedly until they began to show signs of tiredness.

I turn around looking at the rock, then start to peck it. None of them mimic me, they do look at me as an idiot attacking a rock.

That did not bother me, they will not understand it even if I tell them what I want. So by showing they will gradually gut to understand.

I make them peck it by force. By the end of the day, there was a little hole, but another problem became clear. Pecking the rock to make a cave is doable but sometimes, either side of the rock will crack and eventually fall. That means the cave will not be stable.

Well! It's not like there was no solution to this. I just have to use the snake venom to corrode the rocks before breaking the soft part.

That is how "Operation Peck a Cave begins"

Other to-do lists I left it out for now. We eat grains or other insects if we are hungry. Water is abundant, but when a large beast comes we hide.

If it's avian I deal with it. So far so good no major mishaps.

...

Today marks our Twenty-first day in the Oasis. The cave was completed to my liking. It's about two hundred and five clawsquar. We have been sleeping inside every night.

They try to stop pecking after a big enough cave was formed, but I refuse to let them.

We get a lot of snake venom from the surrounding desert. So our activities were accelerated.

I also made them make a ditch where water will enter the cave. At the back of the cave, a small pond was made.

The pond is eight claws deep and seventy-five clawsquare. The canal follows the cave walls so that it will not hinder movement. I look for flat pebbles and cover the canals.

At the cave entrance, we put heavy large boulders, in case of the rainy season the water will not flow inside. So, we jump on the boulder before we enter.

....

While making a cave all the time, there are some times that we do something else. I make them gather all the earthworms, they can find.

I locate a site where there is a lot of moist soil. After the earthworms are gathered I spray some of my blood on them.

The earthworms do not just proliferate but also become larger and aggressive. The surrounding plant becomes dense but any insect that gets closer will disappear. This happens only after two days of earthworms' transformation.

To prevent them from digging through the earth aimlessly. We make ditches that are eleven claws deep surrounding them. We also put rocks from the cave in the ditch. The rocks have venom on them. But some earthworms still leave the area.

Every morning we go hunting on an earthworm farm. Then we came and continued cave making.

Another thing we do is; gathering leaves and broken branches in a hole we make. And in the hole we excrete feces. By the time it's filled we closed it with soil. I'm planting some promising plants on it later.

...

Now that the big cave is done, a smaller cave follows. It did not take long before we finished.

Identification of edible plants was not successful, most of them got sick. But since I'm here things return to normal.

Scout training was the most tedious and frustrating to me. And after weeks of training, only one was able to do a good job.

She was the previous leader of the four, and the smartest among my community.

Before the big dumb crow, She understands waking up early morning and surveys the vicinity, she also clucks at me if there is an unknown beast.

I managed to train them not to make noise early in the morning until she finished her scouting.
