Chapter 32

Location: Jungle

“This’ll be fun,” I muttered and climbed down.

[Climbing +2]

Halfway down, the stones were wet with humidity and covered in moss or algae. Whatever it was, it was slick, and I barely held on. A little further down, firmly rooted plants helped secure my grip, but I’d forgotten the others.

A body crashed into me as it screamed on its way down, and while I caught him, I was knocked off my perch too. Thankfully, the fall was short if painful.

“Sorry,” Amard muttered, shoving a [Healing Potion] into one of my lower hands. I popped the cork and sucked on that sweet cotton-candy goodness. At this point, I no longer cared about how people looked at me while I drank them. Not that I would broadcast I had a stockpile in my bag, but there it was.

Butter came crashing towards me, and I was not about to let him break my potion, so my other three limbs swatted him away, so he hit the ground instead.

“Really?” He asked while spitting out dirt and brushing himself clean.

“Shit tits, man. I’m not your cushion.”

“You caught Amard.”

“He gives me [Healing Potions].”

Amard looked at both of us and laughed. “You two have issues. A few bruises never hurt anyone. The bigger concern is how we are getting out; there is no way I can climb back up that.”

“I can, and I have a rope on me. Didn’t want to waste it for this, in case we need it later,” Butter said.

“Really?” I retorted right back at him, but it was fine. I forgot I had a rope in my supplies too—came with the bag.

“Okay, I guess I deserved that.”

My light clothing clung to my skin, the humidity had soaked it through and through. I couldn’t imagine how the others dealt with the heat in their leather armor.

We barely cut a path into the jungle before our troubles started.

Hisss!

It was the only warning we had before a snake struck. I dodged with honed reflexes I did not know I had. My left upper hand grabbed the snake right behind the head, and I whipped it against a tree, feeling the taut flesh go limp.

[Dodge +1]

[Name: Dark-Spotted Anaconda

Venom: None

Average Size: 4 Meters

Attack: Constriction – If this snake wraps itself around you, it’ll squeeze tighter and tighter until it’s broken all the bones in your body. Struggling speeds up the process.

Author Notes: Don’t try to out swim them, you’ll lose.

“Shit tits, it’s only a baby,” I told them. “At least it’s not poisonous.”

Butter looked on unperturbed, but Amard could not contain his surprise. Without even thinking about it, I tossed the dead snake in my almost empty bag. Right alongside all the food and water I brought with me. No way in hell was I drinking water out of a jungle, game or not.

It was almost another hour and about ten snakes later when I could see the sky between the trees again.
