Chapter 9: Tudor vs The Amazon wilds II
Tudor couldn't comprehend what he just read from the system, does the system actually mean it, to eat? What is he even going to eat?
"Eat! Eat? What am I to eat". He repeated, but then, he noticed the fleshy and soft palate of the plant's mouth. He became disgusted.
"You don't expect me to eat this squishy thing right?". He asked but there was no response.
"Bastard! This is the best solution you could bring? Tch, I guess I've got no choice". He said.
Tudor knelt down and began to bite on the plant's lower jaw where a tongue-like appendage is. He bites and kept spewing them out simultaneously. He did that to the extent that his jaws were aching.
Many hours later, he was met by the cuticle of the plant that separate him from outside. He kicked with all his might but the cuticle did not falter, it was hard. However, his legs weren't the only weapon he possess, he has his teeth _ that is what he has been using so far.
He dug in and tore the flimsy organ with whatever strength he has left. Soon, an opening showed, but it not enough for him to pass through. He kept tearing through the cuticle with his teeth till he was able to fit through.
Now, Tudor wastes no time, he jumped off the space and landed badly, but notwithstanding, it was not enough to injure him. He got up and fled away from the giant Venus fly trap. Luckily for him, that plant was at the edge of the field, so it was easy for Tudor to leave behind the Giant Venus fly trap's territory.
Moving as far as his legs took him, away from the field of the Giant Venus fly trap, he heaved a heavy sigh of relief, he barely escaped death. He sat down to regain his strength, still, he was very cautious, there is no safe place especially in this transformed Amazon.
After catching its breath and regaining his strength, he decides to find a place he could rest, since the dusk is already in twilight. Moving up a bit, he was suddenly overwhelmed by a huge pressure of energy.
He doesn't know what it is but all his body was screaming danger. The energy was so intense, he couldn't move an inch, all his entire body was trembling in fear, whatever it was, it's something terribly ferocious.
If his inbuilt instinct wasn't enough to tell him how much trouble he's in, the system just kept raising alarms and signaling warning, affirming his intuition.
[ Warning! Warning!! Warning!!! Super grade beast encountered!!! Please do not engage...]
Tudor's eyes shrank very thin, the amount of energy released in the area was very tremendous, it feels as if something outwardly is staring right at him.
While scared, he took on a courage to look behind him, his eyes that shrank earlier even shrank further, his body that was trembling now feels numb. He saw the face of a very gigantic snake peering at him with it slit shaped eyes, looking deep into his soul. Within seconds, his body couldn't take it anymore, he cannot withstand the pressure... He fainted.
The next morning arrived with the sun shining as bright as ever, the shining rays of it luminescence warms up the face and body of the unconscious Tudor. Suddenly, he gasps up and sat upright like he had a nightmare. He breathe in and out fast, soon, he regained his composure.
"That was one hell of a nightmare I had, l dreamt I got transmigrated nakedly to another world and i got this sassy system, that said I should look for human civilization. On my way I got eaten by a carnivorous plant, but I managed to escape but then, I came face to face with a terrifying beast".
Tudor said, however, he saw ellipsis in the screen hovering over his face.
"A screen, oh, they are all real... Sigh". He said disappointed.
He stood up to get going but then, he noticed what he was staying on, it was a very large scale that belongs to a reptilian beast. It doesn't take a genius to know that he spent the night on a beast's body.
Fear began to seep into his body, had the giant snake he encountered the previous night kept him for later consumption. Whatever the case, he has to find a way out. He looked around to take a rough survey of where he is.
He found out that he was standing on the tail and he was at the middle of a gigantic coil. He gulps, how is he going to climb a coil of more than five layers. He took a deep breath, he is not to to wait until he gets eaten, he took a step to begin his journey out of the gigantic coil.
As he was moving, he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, the same overwhelming pressure he felt the previous night has come again. The system also wasn't helping the situation, it kept raising alarms about the presence of the said beast.
[ Monster encountered: Titanoboanaconda..
Grade: ???
Class: ???
Level too low for more information... Warning! Warning!! Warning!!! You are at the heart of a super grade monster...]
Tudors body was trembling ferociously out of fear, but then...
"You are awake!" A very hoarse voice sounds at his back.
"Huh?!". Was Tudor's first word.
He took the courage to turn around, the same terrifying gaze was set on him, Tudor was very scared, he peed on himself.
"Did I scare you? My bad, anyways, what is an human doing all alone this deep in the beasts territory, from what I know, you people move in groups, are you perhaps lost?". The snake asked.
"You talk!". Tudor was mesmerized beyond compression, even though he's visibly shaking in fear.
"Of course I talk, I have a high status, again, are you lost". The gigant snake asked again.
"Ha, erm, yes I'm lost ". Tudor replied gibberishly.
With it deep peering slit eyes, the giant serpent looked at him and said,
"Humans have helped me once in the past when I was still in the mundane form, for that, I'll take you home to honor them ".
"Huh? Really, you are not going to eat me?" Tudor asked.
"You are not even worth an appetizer, let alone the main food ". The snake said.
"I have that low prestige? I'm not even worth a food, so bad!". Tudor said dejected.
The snake uncoils and slither along the jungle. Looking at the system, he could see what the it wrote.
' Titanoboanaconda, huh? How strong is this beast for it to be able to speak ' he thought.
Soon, Tudor could see a giant wall made of pure metal like material, Infront of it, a large deep trench was dug. Both features was a sight to behold, Tudor stared in awe.
The snake reached a particular distance, it stopped and said.
"That is your home, should I get any closer, it would raise alarm, it already a miracle you survived alone in the jungle. This is where we depart, until next time, human".
Tudor was mesmerized, though he thanked the snake who later left, however he couldn't take his mind off something.
"The system said that the monsters sought nothing but destruction of human lives, but that snake was intelligent enough to know moral good and bad... I think not all monster are bad ". He said.
However he heard a sound:
[Congratulations, mission completed... Find human civilization...

Tudor stared at the screen with a wide grin, the mere fact that the system asked him to choose an ability brings him much joy. Soon, the status screen went off and a list of different kinds of abilities were offered to him.
"Hahahaha, now you are talking, my adventures starts from here, time to become a badass". He said grinning.
