A burst of white flames rushed to the sky from the bowl of blood.
It was like fuel had just been poured on little fire.
Both Crusher and Lenny backed off instinctively.
Crusher even fell on the ground.
If either of them had not moved in time, then the flames would have enveloped them.
The white flames burnt for sometime.
For either of them, this was the first time that they were seeing something like this.
At first,there was only shock on their faces. However, the shock slowly and steadily changed to smiles and then full blown out laughter.
However, a thought came to Crusher's head and he paused.
Lenny noticed his frown, "What is it!?"
"Where are we going to get enough blood for this!?"
Hearing this question, Chiron Suddenly turned to the corpse of the woman hanging from the ceiling and then he had an idea.
"Where else? I think we need to return the favor to old man Buckle!"
Crusher exchanged eye contact with Lenny. He nodded in understanding.
Soon, both of them were in a hiding pointing watching the activities of the reminants of the village Lenny had destroyed.
Lenny was now truly grateful that Old man Buckle had worked hard and preserved his village as much as he could.
In fact, Lenny wished he had done even more.
After all, this were now important specimen for his next move.
At the moment, old man Buckle was not within the village. He was out looking for Lenny and Crusher with the other Chimera ants
However, he was unaware that the targets of his search had reached his own home. And they had not arrived with cheerful thoughts to say the least.
Lenny and Crusher observed the villagers. The plan was simply to capture the villagers and take them back.
However, that was easier said than done.
The reason for this was because taking one or two would not be a problem, but if they continued in this manner, the villagers would notice. And an alarm was not something they wanted in their hands.
Even a lion noatter how strong it was will not boast of being able of catching two deers running in opposite directions at a time.
If this people caught sight of them, they would scatter about like the wind.
They needed a plan to accommodate this fault.
Lenny thought hard. What they needed was a way to capture not one or two but effectively capture all of them at the same time.
Lenny suddenly saw a familiar face amongst the village survivors. It was old man Buckle's old looking daughter.
Instantly, an idea formed in his head.
"Come! I gat an idea."
Without complaining or nagging, Crusher followed along.
SO FAR, Lenny's ideas had always produced results.
One could say that Crusher had already developed a subconscious dependence on
Lenny.
Lenny led him through the caves and they arrived at a particular place that was all too memorable to Lenny.
After all, this was the place that Lenny had first met the Centipede Chimera ants.
If a normal person had looked into this cave, they would have seen nothing but the glowing moss that lightened the place and rocks all about.
But Crusher and Lenny saw things differently.
These were men that had senses trained specifically to find danger.
On the walls and even the ground were Centipede Chimera ants in incredible camouflage.
Any other unsuspecting person in such a place would die on taking only a few steps in.
The worse thing about these creatures was that they never hunted alone, and they were so kin on a target that it was very ridiculous.
They were just so petty when it came to problems wity people. Lenny had experienced this first hand when that Centipede Chimera ant had followed him back to the safe zone, and even while the other ants had gone, it remained behind for a long time, just waiting for Lenny to slack.
It was also at that time that Lenny tasted what these creature's heart could do to the human body.
"We need to get the heart of these creatures without alearting the queen of our location or presence." Lenny explained.
"Hmmm! That's easy!" Crusher cracked a smile as he walked to the wall of the gave and gave punches and kicks. Soon, the only known entrance was destroyed as the stones from the roof Fell to the ground.
Lenny watched Crusher do this and was speechless for words.
When Lenny said that he did not want the queen knowing, this was definitely not what he was thinking in his mind.
However, this method still worked well.
The falling of the rocks pulled the attention of the Centipede Chimera ants to Crusher.
They screeched as they rushed for him.
Lenny walked forward with his piecers appearing in his hands.
Lenny had a bone to pick with these very vengeful creatures.
He was going to butcher these creatures for the past transgressions.
However, Crusher placed a hand before him, "please, let me handle this one. I need to stretch a bit."
The centipede chimera ants rushed for Crusher.
As they did, he stretched and massaged his elbow a bit.
The moment the first one arrived, with it's wide jaws ready to devour, Crusher suddenly stretched backwards.
As he did, Lenny could have sworn that he saw a bit of steam ooze out of Crusher's arm as a result of his tightening muscle.
*Boom!*
A low but resounding sound was heard.
The wave of the force of Crusher's punch travelled visibly through the body of the centipede chimera ant, forming cracks in the carapace of the beast.
Its head was compressed with a good potion of it's remaining body.
It fell on the ground, and that was it. It no longer moved.
Lenny watched this in total surprise.
As far as he knew, this was not supposed to happen.
After all, he knew Crusher's strength level.
*Surveyor!*
Lenny activated his skill from the system and what he saw shocked him even more.
From the last time he checked Crusher's level till now, there had been incredible improvements.
In fact, Crusher had climbed so far that he was already a level equivalent to an A Class Gladiator.
For the other gladiators he had met, this was the fastest growth Lenny had ever seen.
No doubt, this was as a result of his constant brush with death.
Also, it was ironically because of his constant loss of limbs.
For every time he lost a part of himself, his reptoid genes would replace his old part with a stronger one capable of executing the load that stretched it the former time.
This was a slow and gradual process that changed old parts for new and therefore the reason for Crusher's growth.
His sharp growth was most likely also due to the last fight where he had to fight a swarm of Preying mantis insects and was almost at the point of death.
One hit and the Chimera ant was dead.
Naturally, this annoyed the others and they rushed for Crusher.
The centipede chimera ant always hunted in packs. This was something Lenny discovered on his own.
They were also very vengeful.
Lenny stood and watched. Not even one of this creatures came for him.
Their target was no doubt Crusher.
However, like a peaceful man taking a stroll in a garden, Crusher walked into their center.
Punches were issued to the Chimera ants like trick-or-treat candy during Halloween.
Every punch that left made for a swift end.
There elwas practically not a creature that Crusher punched twice.
As he killed them, Lenny went about doing harvesting the hearts of the creatures.
Of course, he did not need that much for the task at hand. But Since the opportunity had presented itself, he was going to take total advantage of it.
They were almost a hundred of the Centipede Chimera ant in this cave. However, not one of them survived at Crusher's hands.
In a matter of minutes, all of the creatures remained lifeless at his feet.
Also, Lenny noticed that nothing had touched crusher. This included the yellow fluid that came out as blood from the creatures.
"Good work!" Lenny patted his shoulder.
After Lenny was done picking the hearts, Crusher broke through a part of the walls for them to pass.
Just like the last time, Lenny crushed a few of the hearts into little bits.
And then he waited for the villagers meal time.
With the number if people in the village, it was not a big deal to spike their meals.
And then he and crusher waited at a cave not so far away.
Soon, they heard the melodic echoes of men and women engaging in intercourse.
They smiled at each other.
From here was easy picking.
Lenny and Crusher would pull a man and a woman going at it together to a different location and then break their legs, hands and voice boxes so that they could not call for help.
Even when the other villagers saw them moving their members away, they still did not stop and continued banging each other.
The aprodisiac from the Chimera's heart was something that they could not stand.
Just for extra effort, Lenny had spiked their food with at least half the hearts from the ones he harvested.
In this manner, Lenny and Crusher harvested the horny bunch for draining...
