The body of the Leylarhad was still on him, its blood soaking his clothes in a crimson hue.
Erik pushed the carcass off and dumped it to the side and freed himself. He stood there for a moment, unable to say, do, or even think about anything because of the shock of what had just happened.
Erik really got close to death this time, but well… It didn't make a difference to his already messy life. Then, almost instinctively, he dipped his fingers into one of the wounds and licked the blood off his fingers.
[Leylarhad's DNA gained. Starting the analysis.]
[Analysis complete.]
[100 DNA points are required for extraction.]
[3310 DNA points detected. Do you want to start the extraction?]
Erik didn't hesitate. "No," he said.
He knew better than to begin such a process amid a thaid-infested forest. It was safer to wait until he was home.
