Champion's archive 2 "Greens skins"

As I was forced to stalk these green skined beings traveling along the river I began to analyze them from a distance makeing sure there was always distance and cover between us at all times in order to stay hidden.

A disapointingly easy feat to accomplish as I quickly found out not long after the groups departure

The tallest and from the looks the leader of the group weilding a bow and encased with leather armor was the tracker of the group

The rest being used for either swarm tactics or cannon fodder most likely judging from how poorly they were treated and low quility of gear compared to the leader

The smaller ones occasinally looked around in an almost paronoid pattern ever since we left the saftey of their hive, perhapes their instics warning them of my presence

Allthough far to late for them however for they shall be the first to be consumed

Just then the leader one stopped and made a signal to the others before they all started to crouch and slowly move forward towards a clearing next to the river

In the clearing in front of the hunting party lay a singal massive boar with a hide as black as the surroundings but with streaks of dark red that stated from the base of it's four tusks reaching one and a half foot long and slowy faded across it's torso

Some variation of a boar from a quick observation

Although as I was observing it the green skins as I'll call them gave off multiple shrieks as three of them charged at the boar with spears and knives

Meanwhile the leader and one other stayed back already firing an arrow at the boar that manages to hit its hind leg that began to bleed blue blood

The green skin next to the leader was carrying an extra quiver for the other goblin and was equipped with a seemingly harmless wodden staff began to speak a unknown while it's staff glowed in a green light

The boar now with an arrow in it's leg turned towards the green skins and charged towards the screaming green skins as the leader yells in a similar unkown language towards to others but it was to late

*phooh

The green skin at the front of the charge was impaled by the tusks and was visously thrown at the second green skin that crashes under the weight of it's companion while stabbing it's self with their own knife in their shoulder that began bathing it in similar blue blood as it screamed

While their attention is drawn towards the fight I begin to creep closer while staying in the goblins blindspot

Although I paused momentarily when the staff weilding green skin finished speaking and a dozen thin green vines burst from the ground around the boar that stopped it's charg long enough for the third green skin to impale it's front leg severing muscles and tendons with it's spear while covering it's self with blood while another arrow lodged it's self in it's eye

The other green skin finally managed to recover with visibale rage written on it's face as it jumped onto the boars back and begn to repeatilly stab while also cutting a few of the vines in it's chaotic state

Though the boar didn't just take it either as it finally freed it's self from the vines and managed to push it's self onto it's hind legs throwing the bleeding green skin off as it crushed the last spear green skin into a blue and green past in front of it

It then feel slowy stumbled and feel over as another arrow to the throat finished it off coupled witht the blood loss and multiple wound in the neck and legs

Once it fell down the remaining green skins left the arrows in and began to drag it back leaving the bodies and not even tending to the wounds of the knife weilding green skin

Not that I gave them time to rest, the second they unequipped their weapons to drag the boar I leaped from my cover and tackled the staff green skin to the ground and viciously slammed his head on the ground until it broke apart as blood and grey matter coverd the grass before it could even scream

It was best to get rid of the unkown green skin first as it could be an unpredictible and potentialy dangerous enemy

The leader fired an arrow that deflected off my shoulder as I repositioned leaving a shallow scratch while that other green skin started flaing the knife at my general direction

I then stood up as I grabbed the head of the knife green skin using it as a shield as another arrow was fired, lodging itself in the green skins back

As I walked toward the archer green skin I shoved my hand inside the knife green skins torso tearing it in half as I threw both halves at the last green skin

It managed to dodge the top half as he swatted the other half away but I was already in front of him when he looked back as I kicked him onto the floor throwing his weapon away

I quickly ran up to it and stomped on it's chest twice before it caved in killing the last of the hunting party

I surveyed my surroundings as I exavated my foot from the green skins chest while I thought of my next actions

'The blood may attract more beasts but their insticts may drive them off from my presence and if not then it's just more biomass

'Without the hives drawing power from goethermal heat from the planet and the lack of said hives cultivating and birthing fellow cryptid's then this could be a wasted trip

'Although... I am no longer bound by the ancestors. And and my goal is to consume and evolve, I can improvise

'Yes that can work, the downsides being lack of efficiancy of biomass, time and potential mutations

I looked on in thought as I mentally prepared the calculations for the improvised gestation of more cryptid's and if I should, with the amount of biomass at hand birth either a small amount of hunters or a larger amount of scouts before I settled on scouts

while I dragged the corpses into four seperate piles in the center of the bloody clearing

Once they were all moved I curled into a ball hugging my knees at the center between the piles as four massive vines of flesh about an inch in diameter burst from my back as they slowly extended towards the piles

once there they each stabbed into the corpses with a thrust while dozens of smaller veins spread from the flesh vine over the multiple piles eventually stabbing into the corpses as well

Now I would enter a semi conscious state to focus on the gestation of my new siblings and the start of the hive
