After walking for awhile Rudy feel it already far enough and try to find the river again,
Last time after he fled from the old man, Rudy decide to walk upstream and find higher ground of the river
Then, after awhile, he finally found it again, and try to take a sip of the water,
Feeling delight after quenching his thirst, Rudy feel so glad to life.
After that Rudy try rearrange his thought, plan the next thing he need to do
and maybe find the way to come back home.
Rudy lost in his though for awhile and decide to made a base,
first he need to secure a place that good enough to call a base,
to do that he need to find a place that safe enough, i need to either
find someplace that resemble a base and reclaim it, or find a piece of land
and reclaim it and made the base from scratch.
"Either way, it can't be here. It is too close to the old man base" Rudy thought
"For now, i am not ready to find another person to rely on" Rudy mumbling by himself
"Let's try to keep walking upstream, maybe i will have another chance up there" Rudy
brace himself and try to keep walking.
Before, along the way, after meeting the old man last time, he coincidentally find a pair of shoes,
he find one at first and find another one after awhile with a bunch of bone that look like a sole of a feet
still attach to it, it is dirty but strangely the dirt are the only one attach to it, it only soil and not a rotten flesh of a person.
From what he could tell, looks like someone unfortunately found by that bunch of lizard, and get prey on by them,
but if it is true, why the bone and the shoes clean from the rotten flesh, it can't be the lizard lick it clean and left only the shoe
they are too savage to do that. that's when Rudy suddenly realize something.
Last night when the lizard prey on the two person that he saw from the tree, not long after that he could smell the pungent smell of blood
it is so pungent that he almost throw up up in the tree, but he manage to hold on and cover his mouth and nose with his cloth,
the smell should be unbearable and last for awhile, but the next morning the smell is gone. And Rudy unknowingly forget to realize that fact.
in fact, along the way he never found any rotten flesh of any beast or animal or else, sometime he can smell the pungent smell of blood but
the direction are feel ominous and detected as dangerous by his DANGER SENSE skill, so Rudy avoid it, it is really strange and Rudy assuming
that after the predator prey on it's victim, there is something that clean the blood and the remain of the victim. Rudy pondering for awhile and then
put it behind his mind, not to forget but to focus on his current condition.
And now, after putting on the shoes, and find the river again. He sip on the water for awhile and decide to keep walking again, after walking for awhile
there he found the reason of his doubt, the creature that proof there is indeed a creature that does cleaning up the left over victim of the beast's prey, a bunch of transparent creatures, silently nibbling on a corpse of a lizard. the creature look so docile and mind their own business.
Rudy get closer but his DANGER SENSE skill didn't warn him of any danger, Rudy keep getting closer until he is right in front of the creature.
"I am really put to much trust on this DANGER SENE skill, but until now it never disappoint me at all, so let's trust it once more" Rudy think
"Status Open" Rudy try to touch the creature and active his skill.

Right after checking it's status, suddenly Rudy's DANGER SENSE skill flare up and warn him of danger, looking at the Slime in front of him
Rudy saw this liquid creature start to gather bubble inside. Surprised by how the thing develop Rudy reaction has kind of delayed, and made him almost got shot by it.
Luckily, just right before the slime shot him, He already back down, and got away from it. Right before Rudy reach a tree to hide, the slime already shot at him, but fortunately the shot has been miss, the missed shot flew right beside him and impact on the tree in front of Rudy. Surprised by the shot Rudy hurriedly hide behind the tree. not long after two shot with the same kind and speed again getting shot toward him and impact at the lower part of the tree and beside the tree, and then another shot has flew toward him but also missed him and crash near the tree.
Taking a peek on the slime, Rudy saw six slime gathering together, looking toward him or what he assuming it is, because the slime didn't have eyes so Rudy just assuming it by looking at their manner of movement. For awhile they just stood still and alert from any intruder around them, the bubble still there and they look like ready to shot at any sign of intruder they could found.
Five minute goes by and finally they start to calm down, believing the intruder has gone, the slime come back on eating their prey. Rudy finally able to sigh of relief and calm himself down. This event are the most near death experience that he experiencing for the first time, The event that happened last night happening right below him on the tree, just that has enough to made him shiver on the tree for a whole night.
Thinking again on what happened right now, Rudy think that what if the shot hit him, it maybe could become something like a mark that will made the slime could find him despite the stealth still on. If it happen then the slime will rain their ACID SHOT at him, and drown him on the acid and kill him like the lizard they still prey on. Thinking like that has made him shiver more than before. But Rudy has decide to try one of his skill on them because he need a companion that he could trust.
Looking at the slime again he still feel the DANGER SENSE skill still warn him of the danger, thinking of his skill Rudy try to assume that maybe the DANGER SENSE skill are affected by some kind of SKILL to sense it's surrounding that the beast have, the higher the level than more intense the warn then, when their skill clash with the DANGER SENSE skill that Rudy have, the STEALTH skill that Rudy keep ON immediately tell Rudy that a creature try to sense him while the creature skill will fail to recognize him, But if Rudy keep going on the direction the DANGER SENSE skill will immediately warn him stronger and stronger that the creature will detect him and jump on him, that's why before the warn for him become more intense Rudy usually avoid that certain direction and find another ways.
Based on that hypothesis Rudy start to formulate his plan, the DANGER SENSE skill still warn him of the danger, maybe it is because of the ACID SHOT last time his skill finally recognize this creature as a threat. But maybe the threat level are still low because the intensity of his DANGER SENSE skill are keep thinning out, it look like there still a chance for Rudy to approach the slimes.
Trying to approach the slimes, Rudy take a step forward and feel the DANGER SENSE take a hike up in intensity but it still bearable so Rudy decide to stop and wait, looking at the slime they didn't show any sign of alertness so after a while the intensity step down and Rudy take another step, it keep repeating until after a few minute Rudy come back beside the slimes.
Trying to reach out at the slime, Rudy pick one slime for experiment on, covering his mouth with his hand to lower the sound that will come out when he recite his skill, Rudy whispering.
