BXBX NOVEL Chapter 5 Cap 5: Hard Battle(Chapter Preview)
The other two paddles, one that is on the left side of this one and the other that is on the right side of the first puddle I was in, I went towards the closest first one that is to the left of the one I am.
When I got there I saw that there were only 4 leeches, I used the same strategy, I went to the one that was furthest away and killed her with a quick [Leech Bite: 2 ] on the head and abandoned the body as a bait when the other three got close. the second quickly the same as the first and I poisoned the third with [ Weak paralyzing poison secretion:2 ] the fourth managed to bite me before I managed to dive in to deflect her attack, she was a little stronger than the others, I tried to poison her but it only slowed her down, didn\'t paralyze her, but slow enough for me to do two attacks of [ Weak Leech Bite: 2 ], finishing her and then finishing the second leech before the paralyzing poison wears off.

After resting and eating, I start to go back to the first puddle I was in and prepare to go to the last puddle that is to the right of it.
When I get there I realize that this puddle is almost twice the size of the others and has only five leeches, but they are different. Two are larger versions of the ones I\'ve killed so far, possibly leeches that evolved. One was a big light green one, so it\'ll be the first one I get, as it must have some different power too, and I don\'t want to try it carelessly. The other two were large black but one had red spots, and the other had brown spots.
I think I\'m dead if I go in there, they\'re all twice my size, and they must be the adult version of the leeches, not to mention that three of them seem to have some different power as their bodies are different colors.
I\'m going to have to change my prey from the green leech to the two big ones, I\'m going to have to plan how I\'m going to do that.
After twenty minutes of thinking, I finally came up with a workable plan, what I planned was to drag some bodies I didn\'t eat up here and use to lure them out of the puddle so I could ambush the two big normals, killing them before the other three know it. .
I looked across the sky and from the position of the suns it must be mid-afternoon now so I only have a few hours to do this.
With no time to waste, I started to drag the corpses dragging them to the edge of the first pool and I\'m going to use them as bait, I caught three corpses and left them at a distance of one meter from each other, I thought about it because as I watched the normal large leech I noticed that the two swim together around the edges of the large puddle they are in, and because the distance between the two puddles is 3 meters they must feel the blood of the corpses and will come closer to eat so I\'m going to jump out of the water on the head of one of them is to use my bite to kill skill and then jump into the puddle to rest and wait for another opportunity.
Now that the trap is in place, all I need to do is eat and rest while I wait for them to take the bait, I\'ve already cast half of my STM dragging these baits here now I\'m going to take advantage of this wait to recover as much as possible.
I waited a bit, more than thirty minutes, and it seems that the plan worked better than expected, and I managed to recover while waiting for them to take the bait, they split up and each of them went to a different bait, the other three seem not to notice yet.
I watched as they left the puddle and crawled closer, I decided to take the one on the right first, and then depending on how fast I get to finish it I\'ll decide whether to attack the other one or go back to the puddle to recover.
As soon as they got to the bait and started to eat I swam fast and jumped over the one on the right, pinning myself to his head with my teeth and using [Light Leech Bite: 2], and without giving him time to react I used the skill in the same place digging big chunks out of the head and swallowing it, using the skill again repeating the process twice more making a big hole in his head and killing him before he has time to react.
Ding!
<[ You gained 2 EXP from killing Leech ]>
When the notification appeared, I jumped back into the red water of the puddle and swam slowly to the second one that didn\'t seem to have noticed anything, and when I got there I did the same, jumped out of the water right on the second leech\'s head, but this time it went wrong, she managed to dodge by going up my head right away, as I missed my head, I trapped myself in his body with my fangs and used [ Weak paralyzing poison secretion: 2 ] four times in a row in desperation, with that I ended up depleting my entire MTS and I got very tired, but my desperate bet worked and I managed to paralyze the second leech, without waiting for the paralysis effect to fade, for safety I crawled up to his head and started digging in his skull with my normal bite to death, which took seven bites to get.

Finally but before meditating I started pushing this body into the puddle to eat in the water and rest for a few minutes before meditating to integrate that level with me.
splash!
Nhac! Nhac! Nhac!
Ding!
<[ You have learned the following leech skills:
• [ Weak Blood Elemental Affinity:1 ] ]>
With that now, I\'ve recovered enough to meditate again.
First I blank my mind, stand still, close my eyes, breathe calmly and steadily, and calm my emotions. When I start to feel the ethereal EXP inside me, I concentrate it all in one place and directed it into my bloodstream, to travel through my entire body and be absorbed little by little.
This time it only took fifteen minutes, and I felt I was able to control my bloodstream better, it must be the effect of the new skill kicking in.
Let me check my status now.

Now that I have this new strength I\'m going to prepare myself to finish off the last three leeches that seem stronger than the two I killed, I just hope I can evolve even before nightfall, to feel more secure.
I grab the other body of the big leech I killed first, drag it to the puddle to use as bait, push it into a secluded spot in the big puddle, and fetch what\'s left of the previous bait to throw ten feet away from the first bait. After everything is ready, I enter the puddle and wait while I wait for them to split so I can ambush them separately.
After a few minutes of waiting, I see that they have noticed the baits, the light green leech, and one with the brown spots is coming towards the same bait and the other one has gone towards the first bait.
As soon as they started to eat the bait I moved to the green one, as stealthily as I could and attacked him on the head with [Leech Bite: 3], oddly enough she died with a single bite and had to interrupt the second kill which was close to activating, as I was distracted by the unexpected result the leech with brown spots hit me full-on with its tail and then bit me while I was stunned by the blow.
Wow! There!
The bite woke me up, I noticed that its skin was thicker so I activated it six times in a row [Leech Bite: 3 ] and dug a big hole in it bite by bite, but it was still alive and biting me, so I went in with my head in the hole I made in his body and bit everything in sight until I heard it.

My life is dangerously low and I\'m almost out of MTS. Luckily the last leech is still eating the other bait, which gives me a small amount of time to recover, I start eating a little of the two leeches hoping it will give me some skill that can help this situation.
Ding!
<[ You have learned the following leech skills:
• [ Weak Resistance to Physical Damage: 1 ]
• [ Weak poison secretion: 1 ]
• [ Poor Resistance to Poisoning: 1 ] ]>
Looks like I got some good skills, I still have some time so I kept eating, as soon as I saw the last one was running out of the first bait I knew I\'d swim out here as soon as I was done.
I quickly checked my HP and MTS.
HP: 4/8
Stamina: 6/8
That will have to be enough, I waited until he finished and swim here, attracted by the blood, as soon as he got close, before biting the corpses I attacked right where the heart is using in succession five [Leech Bite: 3] until I felt I ate your heart and listen.
