I push the ground away and pop my head out. In front of me is the huge boulder food blocking me. After watching it, I started to realize something why is it that the thought of eating it never crosses my mind. There is no instinct commanding me to eat it either meanwhile when I first saw the worm , my arm immediately snatches it for me.

Is there something wrong with this things? Maybe its poison? No way to know, and I certainly wouldn’t want to try eating it. The worms eat it just fine and I can eat the worms so its not a big deal.

I turn my head to scan the area . My back is the boulder, the left is where I first come to this world. Ahead of me is just plain ground with nothing worth noting. To the right there is a small hill. A small hill build out of who knows what. Looks like a mix of flesh and something. I can get a vantage point by getting up the hill. I scan the area for any hostile environment and creature, after feeling safe I make my way up the hill.

Even though im not bipedal, my smooth tail like leg climb this hill fairly easily. Wonder how it do that, this instinct thing is very neat otherwise I would have to learn to use this legs and it would take a very long time. Granted there are something that I need to learn by myself so this instinct are not a solution for everything. Example I need to learn how to burrow and navigate under the ground myself.If I were to give my burrowing abilities a score it would probably be a 4 /10 but then again what do I even know about swimming under the ground to give myself an accurate score.

After reaching at the top of the hill, I can finally see a lot more of this area compare to when im at the ground. At my back I can see the huge boulder of food and even further there is where I first wake up. I look north, I mean at least lets call this way north first untill I get evidence that it is not. The direction north would be the opposite direction of where I come from and the direction from where I come from , from right here, is south.

I scan the north. Its kinda amazing that boulder which block my tunnel from before there are a ton of it over here. The imagery of this huge boulder just scatter across the plain is quite a sight to see.The colour of the boulder is almost pure black and the ground is a darker brown with a patch of dark sometimes. From what I can see this stretches as far as my eyes can see, so this area is quite big, no vey big.

This environment is very bad. This looks very bad. From some reason I feel like I have some vague memory about how during the past this same environment has put m in a very bad information. My conscience is yelling at me to be very careful if I want to get pass this area.

As I was debating whether I should even try to explore this area or not, from afar I can see a little four legged creature approaching that area. I decided to just watch and learn from its experience.

The creature run swiftly toward area. It doesn’t seems to want the huge boulder tho. It approaches the empty area in between the huge area and seems to pick up something and eat it. I cant what its eating from here but I guess that’s it food.

Several second pass and the creature is still standing there eating its food. I don’t know if its just brave , stupid or the area is actually clear without any hostile creature. If it were me I would grab the food and just bolt out there maybe go under the ground and then start eating. Well, I mean but then again im from another world , I got like a whole world of experience, not all I cant seems to remember all my memory. But so far its useful enough.

As I observe it more and more, something that I was cautious about is finally happening. As the creature is turning its back to get out from the area. A huge mandible come from behind the boulder. Out of line of sight from anyone trying to come inside the area.

With speed eerily faster than me , the creature with black carapace leap with its strong legs and use it mandibles to snatch the creature. The creature struggle but with a quick motion the mandible snap it spine and it died just like that.

I knew it would be a bad idea to explore, creature that size and speed would have ended my existence in mere second. The huge creature tilt its head upward and slowly open its mandible to let it fall down into its mouth.

As its fall down into its mouth, my instinct flare up like crazy and its snape my neck to the direction above. It surprised me for a moment but as I observed, i noticed a flying species half the size of the huge insect like creature with mandible swoop down as quick as the wind and suprisingly manages to capture the dead creature from falling into the mouth of the insect. As it get it prized it begin to spread it skinlike wings and ascend upward. It get out of the range of the insect mandible.

I noticed that eventhough the flying creature has get out from the range of the mandible, it is still somewhat tense and try to get p even further.

A moment after , the huge insect like creature quickly bend it head downward and mysteriously point its mandible into the ground. A single spike grew out from its back and with no second spare stab directly through the dead creature and threw the flying creature several metre above .

So in just a few second the flying creature snatches the food, fly up and the insect creature snatches it back by aiming its spike on its back and grew it to stab the food back and causes the bird to get throw several metre above the sky.

That’s kinda fascinating, it seems to me however this sequence is not random. Is it possible that both of them are a natural counter or competitor with each other. The speed and size of the flying creature is enough to let it snatches prey from the insect one, and the spike that grew on the insect back is the counter to the flying insect providing the last mean of defense against its competitor.

It seems that this round the insect is the winner. The flying insect cannot aproach the insect anymore as several more of spike has began to grew on top of the insect and ready to grew if its come closer.

As the flying creature give up and start to fly away, it suddenly turn its head directly toward me with strong intent emanating from it.
