Chapter 505 Everything Eats Everything here!
He sent all of them to the grave.
The total destruction of their numbers had been achieved with swiftness.
Even though a lot of them had skin that was practically impregnable to weapons, he had turned them into nothing but meat paste.
For a few seconds, Lenny paused, basking in the nearly non-existent glory of killing so many creatures.
"Is this the training they were talking about?" Lenny scuffled.
However, the wind seemed to blow a little, and that was all it took for him to hear roars and growls all about him.
And then he was surprised to see that the creatures he had killed all about him started to shake and rumble, and then it all started.
First of all, on the ground, long, massive shoots of plants suddenly began to grow, shooting into the sky, growing at speeds unusual for plants or any living being, for that matter.
"System, what is going on?"
<Alert: These are a special kind of carnivorous plant. Their seeds are very small but can grow to incredible lengths. They are well adapted for this world, taking a very long time and a mixture of magic from angels and demons to be able to grow and multiply at frightening speed. Unfortunately, they can only grow in the presence of a lot of blood.>
These plants that suddenly towered more than twenty feet high were just the start.
Even after the plants, drinking large amounts of blood, had shot into the sky, the ground did not stop shaking.
It was at this point that Lenny looked over the edge of the floating island again.
Creatures, some such as the ones he had just killed and others like he had never seen before, rushed for the island in their thousands.
The weight of it was so great that it actually made the island go lower towards the ground.
Lenny was not a fool. He did not even need the system to know that the crazed creatures were rushing over because of the smell of blood.
As if that were not enough, the large shoots of plants with green stems as thick as pillars had formed giant buds with little holes like the body of a honeycomb above his head.
All of a sudden, they released a blue gas into the air. As they did, they opened up.
Lenny had only been in this world for a few minutes, but the first thing he learned about this plane called Imperilment was that everything was fighting for survival. This meant that everything had senses so sensitive that it put his perception ability to shame.
Their sensitivity was greatly adapted to maximize the opportunity for food and, therefore, the opportunity for survival.
Far off in the air, large winged creatures the size of buses with long, curved beaks roamed the sky in a herd like kings.
This one, Lenny, had seen it clearly.
The moment the blue gas in the air went into their noses, they changed directions and swooped down for the giant plants.
However, the plants suddenly opened their buds, revealing massive rows of teeth. Within its clampable abyss of a mouth was what Lenny Lenny could tell was nectar.
The winged creatures came to drink; however, Lenny observed that even for them, this was not their first rodeo. They kept a safe distance in the air as their long, curvy beaks suddenly extended, allowing them to take a drink from the point of safety.
However, the younger ones amongst them that got too close to the plants were suddenly ensnarled into the frightening jaws of the plants, the speed of the buds clamping together so fast that the teeth of the plants pierced into the winged creatures, further giving them more food to grow even taller.
At the same time, those creatures that had mounted the floating island, thousands in their numbers, rushed for the devouring of the meat scattered about on the ground.
Some other giant creatures that looked like red ants with wings that looked more like transparent blades went for the giant plants, rubbing their hard, glittering bodies against the plants.
The giant plants, some of them responsive to the provocation of the giant red ants, suddenly curved abnormally to ensnare them. However, the moment they curved low enough and clamped on the ants like they did the winged creatures, the ants would take the opportunity to take their nectar, drilling into the body of the plants like it was earth and bursting them apart from the inside out.
The moment they came out, they carried with them blue sacs containing nectar in their mouths. And then the ants spread their wings to fly off into the distant forest with trees over a hundred meters high.
Some of them made it through, but some others got stuck in unsuspecting webs weaved in between the large branches of the trees by spiders with green bodies, obviously adapted for camouflage.
The spiders, hidden in the trees, would come out the moment their web got shaken just a little bit.
Lenny's eyes traced the setting of everything as it had happened.
Basically, everything was eating everything in this place.
It only just occurred to him that the casual slaughter that he had done in a fit of rage had begun a chain reaction for the survival of the fittest.
But things were only getting started.
After all, in no time, the lot he had killed was almost devoured in totality. This included their hard armor that felt like steel against his sword.
Many of them, instantly recognizing him as prey, rushed to take juicy bites.
Once more, the cycle of killings had started again.
And just when he thought he had killed a lot of the ones that came for him, he felt the floating island pull even lower towards the ground.
More winged giant ants were climbing up. This time around, in their millions.
Lenny could not help but pause, and then he looked at his blades; they had chirped at different points.
He shook his head and said, "Duncan! What kind of shitty place is this?"
