Chapter 103

I suspect I wasn’t as careful as I thought I was and a spore dropped onto the animal. They jumped a bit before I released all the water.

And the second I felt the animal sprint away I knew it had worked.

Ha! Prank successful.

What’s more, the impression I get from their pace suggests a similar gate to the one I felt when jade ran away when I release repelling chemicals from the mycelium stalks.

The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

More and more im convinced this is jade. And that somehow the water dropped on them removed whatever protection they used to get close to the monument.

It makes sense.

However the more I think about it the more I think that im completely ignoring the fact that It could have just been scared. It was a prank after all.

And this specific prank would scare the fuck out of any wild animal not used to human activity.

I remember some real cavalier squirrels hanging on to spinning bird feeders and being thrown off only to nonchalantly walk away as if it was any other day. If this animal, who I seriously think is jade, gets scared off this easily this strongly suggests that there aren’t an intelligent civilization somewhere close by.

That was … a good point. But it kind of felt like a reach, based off of shady evidence.

I could always just ask the Asshole if they knew if intelligent and sapient species lived nearby, but I was wary of having any

conversation with them.

Conversation didn’t seem to be their strong suit.
