Eren was kind of having fun with this free exploration.
His Observe skill found a creature and it was a Jade Canopy Viper at Level 32. Venomous with a two-minute paralysis effect. If it had bitten his face he'd be lying on the forest floor unable to move while whatever else lived in the undergrowth found him.
I have to pass the fu*king 50 level.
Twenty minutes after the snake a cluster of mushrooms he walked past released a cloud of purple spores that his Primal Senses screamed at him to avoid.
He held his breath and sprinted clear but some of the particles hit his skin and started burning until his Poison Resistance kicked in.
And then there were the sounds. The deep forest was loud with things he couldn't identify. Crashes in the canopy above where heavy creatures moved between branches. Low rumbling from underground that might be the ground crawlers the birds had mentioned.
The constant chatter of the Worker network transmitting information across the entire territory.
