Master Of None

Chapter 2340: 2340. Brutal Poisons



'Spore worm

This is a very small monster that lives in mushrooms, funguses, and even rotting woods. It has a very high amount of condensed poison depending on what it has eaten, meaning that touching it can cause death due to whatever it has eaten.

It is called a spore worm because it carries the spore of what it has eaten all over its body due to the mucus it secretes. This allows for that spore to take hold somewhere else and grow. This worm can be responsible for entire species of mushrooms, molds, and even some smaller monsters growing at all.

They will often grow to the size of a toothpick, by that time, they will then shed their skin and grow wings to fly in to the air and lay their eggs where the rain will fall first within the jungle...'

This was just one of the many monsters that he had found. He was seeing how the poison jungle dungeon worked. There was a flow to the way nature happened here. So many monsters were small like this to hide away. They were responsible for making sure the dungeon grew.

While this dungeon was one that would return to what it was when it was entered. So, how did that happen?Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Walker knew that the mana would gather and feed the dungeon. It was alive in some way. He could not fully grasp how that worked but it was a surety that he did not have the strength or understanding of the world, mana, or existence to do that.

Therefore, he was left trying to see how it might happen. So scratch the surface.

Monsters like the spore worm would be ideal for returning the mushrooms and fungus that were growing all over. They would also multiply and become food for larger monsters. An ideal method for the dungeon to grow. Beyond that, then they would grow wings and lay eggs in the treetops. Allowing for other monsters to prey on them later in the lifespan.

This was a small portion of what he learned. He was currently looking at a bright purple and red mantis. He had seen variations of the mantis, an emerald mantis, steel mantis, and even read about an undead known as a bone skin mantis. Not to mention a few other versions he had fought or heard through the taming guild.

'Brilliant mantis

This mantis has vibrant colors so it can hide in the poisonous flowers of the jungle. It will perfectly match the dueling flow, a species of bush which grows purple and red flows which will attempt to wrap and kill each other as they grow. This is due to their need for light mana as they grow higher and absorb it with their large leaves and petals.

As the brilliant mantis hunts, it will rub the two poisons on to its sharpened arms. The dueling flower's pistons can both cause sleepiness and also confusion. The dual effects of this will make a lot of prey that the brilliant mantis face fall to it as food.

It is known to hoard its food beneath the dueling flower bush. Causing what it does not eat to become nutrients for it. Normally, this means that many brilliant mantis will live together in a nest...'

Walker was sure that this was one of the more unique monsters he would face. Especially since he would not be able to find one that was not poisonous or venomous within the jungle. This entire place was known for poisons. Yet, this monster used them without developing its own. When he looked further in to the flowers that were growing next to the brilliant mantis, he noticed that they also had eggs stuck to the woody parts of the plant. Proof that the brilliant mantis was doing more than just waiting for food. It was guarding its young that would hatch at some point.

"Are we going to attack it?" One of the elf wind archers had an idea that they would be outmatched in speed against a monster that confused and caused sleep when scratching them came to battle.

"No, we are leaving it alone. It will not leave its nest right there. It can be used for crafting, but we will not be able to make a proper antidote for the dueling flower poisons. We need the flowers and there is a young bush just over there that will be fine for us to harvest. We can even take the whole dueling flower bush because it is young and has resilience."

The plan to avoid this situation was the right one. If they fought the brilliant mantis, more would surely come. They were in the bushes hiding already. Why would one be there and no other? "We need to move away from this area." The sudden interruption from another elf was making things unsettling for the group. They had no idea why he had stopped them suddenly.

His focus was on the trees above them though.

'Howler wolf

This monster used to be a species of wolf monster that hunted on the forest floor. When it became part of the poison jungle dungeon, it slowly began to grow in line with the poison jungle dungeon as it needed to survive. Over the years, it became a new type of monster capable of running through the trees of the jungle and consuming vast amounts of poisons. Its poison resistance is second to none.

The blood they have is exceptionally toxic unless processed to be able to be used as a very potent antidote for any poisons and many venoms.

They hunt in packs and their eight legs allow for them to hold on to the trees and vines while they slash at their enemies with poison coated claws. They are vicious and territorial. As they use scents to track their prey, they will spend weeks hunting them if need be.

"They will be...'

That was lal Walker needed to see before he had gathered a ball of flames in his hand. He knew that this monster had been the only one from what he could sense. Most likely, it was a scout for the pack of howler wolves.

They would find them if they allowed it to have their scent. So, they had to burn this enemy right now. Make sure that the area smelled like acrid smoke. No normal monster would be able to handle something with that strong of a scent. Normally, they would find that the smell was too much while they rushed away from the bad smell overall.

"Stand back and prepare to take this one down. It might howl, but it is a scout compared to the whole pack." Walker saw multiple wind arrows notched to help. The arrows would carry his fireball much better since they would strengthen it.

The fireball was released as the arrows flew. The boost of their wind attribute mana causes the fire ball to become a much brighter yellow. It also caused the howler elf to fall from the vines that it had been holding on to. Even with eight legs to hold on to the trees, burning them was a perfect way to make it fall. Even a hundred legs might not work for it.

As it fell, it tried to howl or sniff, but the arrows were not done. The archers were prepared and they were not beginners. Several arrows had pierced its body making it bleed its toxic blood

on the ground.

The only issue was that there was a screeching sound now. Not one from the brilliant mantis nearby though. Walker thought that he would have to handle the brilliant mantis if it thought

they were a threat to its nest.

'Devil centipede

This is the apex predator of the poison jungle. It consumes all potions and creates a brutal venom that can even dissolve prey with a few drops. It will hiss and screech to terrify others while it hunts. Each clawed leg has this venom along with its pincers. It will follow and attack anything within the poisonous jungle.

While it is not very intelligent, it is aggressive and considered evil. The name devil was taken from the myths of devils who would destroy entire nations with their malicious and brutal

means.

As this monster grows, it will shed its carapace leaving behind valuable...'

There was not even a second to worry right now. The brilliant mantis had struck out at the devil centipede. The howling wolf was scrambling to get up. And Walker's group was now looking at an all out battle on multiple sides.

The poison jungle was nothing to scoff at. It was full of more than just poisons. It was full of chaotic survival that could create a tough fighter or create a mass of graves.
