The buzz was not letting me focus on gathering energy from the ground. I was disturbed above and beyond. And what annoyed the f*ck out of me was the feeling that something was seeping out of my body. But I could not even figure out what was going. The only thing that could have caused this anomaly was the estatic looking bug.
After an hour of unfocused cultivation, i checked my status window. Now my exp points that should have been about 4.8 according to my previous calculations bwas just touching 4. It was surprising to see what the buzzing sound had caused.
I was very very annoyed as this was not something that was supposed to be happening. It was hard as it is for a tree with the soul of a human but the feeling of not gaining as much as I thought I would pushed me on the verge of mental breakdown. It was depressing to look at.
I wanted to make my thoughts turn away from the disappointment. I opened my eyes and started to look here and there. Suddenly I saw something glowing on my branch. I looked at it and inside the glow was a bug. The same bug that was just sitting there was glowing now. And its expression was like that of a miner who suddenly uncovered a big piece of diamond on coal mine. It was not glowing like that before.
I focused on the bug and a clear view of the bug appeared before me. It was a mosquito like bug. It looked like a hybrid of armoured beetle and a mosquito. It was the same bug from before but it became more and more clear. It was rather intersting to look at now I was focusing on it.
After a while I saw something flowing into the body of insect accompanied with the same buzzing sound. Along with the sound I took a look at my status window right at the moment and behold my exp point had gone down a little. It was not much but I was sure now that it was sucking on my hard earned nutrients from me after some of the moment it landed on me.
" WHAT THE F*CK IS THAT BUG ! " I asked perplexed and angry. I wanted to vent my anger and complain. I had never seen anything like it before.
KILLER MOSQUITO : ARMOURED INSECTS FOUND DEEP IN THE FOREST. IT LIKES TO SUCK ON THE NUTRIENTS OF ANY BEAST ITS LATCHES IT SELF ONTO. NOT THAT DANGEROUS BUT HARMFUL TO LITTLE PLANTS.
I was not expecting the mechanical voice of the system but the voice rang inside my head giving information about the bug that looked like it had found a source of water after being thirsty for a while.
It was harmful for little plants and was I not a little plant. The mechanical voice shocked me even though the name of this bug was familiar to me but it looked nothing like the mosquito I was familiar with. Mosquito sucked on blood to live, didn't it. Why was it sucking my exprience points and for how long that thing was sucking on me ? Wouldn't I die if it kept going on like this for a while ? And why was the mechanical voice silent for that long ? All of these thoughts occuring simultaneously.
YES...BEING IN CONTACT WITH THAT MONSTER FOR A LONG TIME WOULD RESULT DEATH...ADVISIBLE TO GET AWAY FROM IT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE...
I...I was speechless. The mechanical voice answered my thought but it didnt f*cking think of warning me about it beforehand. It could have warned me as soon as it landed on my delicate body. I could not utter a word at the moment.
I focused on the bug for a period of time with a sense of hopelessness. There was nothing I could do. Swatting it was out of the question and shaking to make it move was impossible as it did not even bother to budge.
After looking at it for a while, I could distinguish some features on it. It was like a little monster than a bug now that I have seen it upclose. And why the f*ck does it seem happy while making me loose my mind and experience points. Looking at it made me furious. I wanted that bug dead at any cost now.
I shaked my body a little but the little monster was too happy to bother with anything and was so busy that small things didnt seem to affect it at all. I shook my body forcing it to move more and more naively but the bug completely ignored it. It even enjoyed the swing. Rocking along with it like riding through a cool breeze. It should have thought the movement was just caused by the wind and kept on ignoring my warning.
It was so happy that it even closed its eyes and started sucking even more rigoursly and quantitavely. I tried moving my branches .... it completely ignored that. I moved more but it ignored that again.
The feeling of being ignored by such little thing angered me. If I was human and this was a mosquito from earth, I would have swatted it thousands of times. I would have roasted it on a electric bat. I would have made it regret coming in contact with me.
But now all of my attempts was thwarted by this little beast. It was feasting on my energy and even ignored me. If it kept going at it with this speed, I would be sucked dry. I could manage for a while by focusing on gathering the energy but the buzzing sound made it hard to focus.
This bug was even getting bulkier by the moment, full of energy. And as it got stronger, the suction force that I felt earlier got stronger. It was not letting me focus on my meditation. Soon the gap between taking in the energy would be less than the amount of energy this bug was sucking and I would surely be one of its victim. Sucked dry of energy.
Killing this bug is the only way out of this predicament. I would have never thought that I would die by the hands of this little mosquito, the same blood sucking mosquito that I killed with a single swat would become the cause of death in my second life.
This world seemed more dangerous than I previously thought. Even a small mosquito of this world was capable of bringing my downfall without much effort.
