Chapter 6: Surroundings
-Exactly 5 minutes later.
[Is host alright??]
Jay's whole body felt sore as he stood up from the ground. Ignoring the system, he summons a Wacan Berry to munch on, then tries to manually open his info panel, but because he had no hands, it was not proving very well.
[Does host want me to open his info panel?] The system asked, seeing his host struggle.
"No." Jay said while staring coldly towards the prompt that appeared, and then continued trying to open his info panel. Finally after trying so many times he succeeded, as the info. screen popped up.

Normally it should have been 40 Exp till next level, but maybe it's because of that fake pill I gained an extra 10. All stats looks pretty normal for a caterpie that is, and it also looks like that stupid system added Rank 10 behind my level. I should probably start grinding Exp so that I can evolve quicker so..
Turning his head, he looks around. Finallly getting a chance to carefully view his surroundings. Looking at his surroundings what he saw genuinely surprised.
A few meters away from him was lake with slightly dark and muddy water. In the lake many blood-red fishlike creatures could be seen swimming about. On the bank of the lake, there was also a few huge frogs which Jay instantly recognised. Devils Bull Frog??

....
Although slightly surprised and also a bit fearful, he quickly moved on.
Surrounding the lake was a large open field covered short grass and thick bushes. Sometimes a mouse or two could be seen popping its head out of the thick bushes in the distance. And unlike normal mouses they looked considerably big, and looked almost like a rat, rather than a mouse.

On the field, there was a large sandpile and coming in and out from it was a row of abnormally large ants. The ants that were going in to their nest, was matching in an orderly manner and all of them was carrying a large red droplet. From just looking at their name, Jay could see that it's probably not coloured water or cool drink.

Ugly one-eyed birds perched on the trees that surrounded this diverse environment. Just by the look on their faces and that awful cry they let out from time to time, you can tell that they are truly gruesome creatures.

That stupid System said that all semi-demonic creatures are irrational, so why don't they look irrational to me.
Although they are kind of rather weird looking, but not once has he seen any of act irrational. Rather than saying they're irrational it would be more appropriate to say that they weirdly normal...
'Squeal'
Suddenly a squal sounded, interrupting his train of thought. Turning his head, he sees the Caterpillar who had previously taken his Wacan Berry leftovers, now running or to be precise, crawling for its life as its being chased by a D.Bull Tadpole.
[D.Green-Emerald Caterpillar (Early Stage) lv. 1]
Guess, even though they are not completely irrational. The law of the jungle, or in this case forest, still remains the law of the forest.
Looking at the terrified Caterpillar crawling for its life, Jay couldn't help but feel a little sympathy towards the little fella. Maybe I should rescue it, but...it would be troublesome if I got injured during the process so, let's see...
[D.Bull Tadpole (Late Stage) lv.3]
Type: Poison, Water
Area: Forest (Common)
Appearance
Height of 0.2 meter, length of 0.5 meter. It has a soft, blood-red coloured body with a red tinted transparent tail. It has grown out its hind legs, and unlike the D.Bullfrog it has no horns. Other than these unique features, it looks quite similar to an ordinary Tadpole.
[Note: Extremely Poisonous as it's in its critical stage of Evolution]
Nope, I'm out.
Making up his mind, he ignores all this and turns around, but not even a second later another squeal went off.
Don't turn around Jay!, do not turn around. Everythings fine, I'm sure they only holding a umm..dinner party..with meat...and...blood...and...
'Squeal'
"Damn it!!" Turning around, Jay opens his mouth and spews out a piece of silk towards the D. Bull Tadpole
