Lenny with his rich experience of Anatomy could instantly tell that this beating organ was of importance.
He dropped the intestine in his hands and grabbed the beating organ.
It resembled a heart.
However, it was apparent that it was not.
The beating of the organ was low. It almost looked as if there was life in it.
Without wasting time, he placed it in his mouth and bit into it.
His Eyes opened up in the ecstasy that suddenly filled his tongue.
It was so much that it practically washed away the terrible bitter taste of the former organ he ate.
It was like he had just sunk his teeth into a honeycomb.
Yellow juice flowed out of it and he enjoyed it.
Every bite was like his tongue meddling in the marriage of succulent slimy honey and cotton candy.
Lenny rushed it so fast that he did not notice when he was done with it.
He licked his fingers attentively and then his eyes looked around for more of that particular organ.
Fortunately, he had dissected more than one.
At a corner of the tray, he saw two more, and he gulped them down.
When he ate the last one, he heard an alert that he had not heard before.
<Congratulations, STAMINA Unlocked>
<+3 Sta>
<Hp Increased>
<Passive Ability Unlocked: Environmental Perception (Ten Meters around host)>
As Lenny wondered about this, he suddenly felt as the points from stamina flowed through his body.
He had been tired from all the fighting and had forced himself to sit down and eat.
His will to keep going was suddenly energized.
Also, his Hp had also increased once more. This meant that his survivability rate in this hell hole had become better.
And then there was perception as a skill. Lenny suddenly felt as if sound waves were reaching his head. Much like a Dolphin used Echolocation.
it was not overbearing and it gave him the impression that it had always been a part of him.
He felt satisfied and lay down to rest.
However, only a few minutes into his rest, his newly acquired perception noticed a particular creature approaching him.
Truly, Perception was a useful skill. Especially to an assassin.
This also looked like a worm but it was nothing like the Cotton worm he had seen before.
This one had hair all over its body that it might as well been a broom. It was also abnormally long.
Lenny observed this creature.
He was still alert.
He watched as the Broom-like Creature brushed over the tray of leftovers.
To his surprise, it actually consumed everything on the Tray.
After which, the Creature left through an opening in the wall.
Lenny nodded at this. It was easy for him to understand that this particular bug acted as a nanny within the colony.
He made a mental note of this.
As the creature left his senses range, he continued his rest.
However, he had only laid down for about an hour before he jumped back up on his feet.
He knew he needed to sleep, but he could not help but feel like he could be doing much more. He was feeling an Adrenaline rush from the quick growth and it was addictive.
He was a den made for growth. There was no way he was going to be done with just this.
Once more, he captured some Cotton worms and used their Skin to make a cloth to cover his groin area. And then he also turned one into a bag he could use.
After which he took his piecer blades for exploring.
this safe zone was just as he suspected it was.
It truly had a lot of different openings.
Lenny followed one of them.
This path was not littered with red moss, instead, it was purple.
Naturally, the Satan System mapped out the place as he moved.
On the walls, he saw those broom-like worms pass from time to time.
He did not disturb them an continued. on the way, he killed two more of the younger-looking Praying Mantis and bagged their honey-sweet hearts.
However, Lenny had soon gotten overconfident.
He had seen one of the Praying mantis going into a particular Cave opening and then he followed.
His Plan was to sneak up behind it. kill it and extract its heart.
The walls of these caves were easily climbable.
Lenny climbed up to the ceiling and snuck behind his target as he did, he did not know that a particular Creature also had its eyes on him.
This was a very large Centipede. It was about ten meters long and 3 meters thick.
It practically materialized on the cave wall.
Even though it had multiple legs, it silently approached Lenny like a thief.
Meanwhile, Lenny's attention was on the Praying Mantis before him.
he crept slowly behind it.
After killing this creatures again and again, he knew how their perception worked and how to take advantage of them.
He crawled slowly towards it. As he did, so did the Centipede towards him.
And just when he lifted the piecers attached to his hand, the Centipede also raised its head with the Sharp engaging claws.
Lenny's Elbow moved in for the attack, and as if on cue, the Centipede also rushed for his head.
However, a smile stained the side of his lips.
Instead of striking forward, he suddenly turned and the piercer went into the head of the Centipede.
"Got you!"
The creature screeched in pain.
Lenny's Passive ability perception allowed him to sense Ten meters in his general direction.
The moment the Centipede had come close, he was aware. He only allowed the creature to get close enough so that he could have a quick win.
However, the smile on his face suddenly froze.
The Cry from the Centipede Creature was loud.
Immediately, Lenny's smile Turned to a frown.
With his perception, he could hear, as many thousand legs rushed to his position.
Behold. the Centipedes that had appeared before him were over a Hundred. Only a word appeared in his head and it was from the system.
<RUN!>
