Chapter 279
Two days of nonstop fighting had him exhausted, and yet Max looked down at the newest corpse beneath him.
Five ants the size of house had come up from a hole he encountered in the forest. Their bodies lay broken, legs torn off, antennas still twitching. Pools of purple blood were being absorbed by the dirt at a rapid pace, the hungry jungle always collecting whatever was offered.
Screeching came from the last one alive, its body scuffing up the soft ground near the hole that led to its lair. Two legs remained on its armored body, yet each of them found out quickly Max could pluck them free, and their size wasn’t an advantage against a person of his power and short stature.
“It was fun, but I don’t want you to suffer. I’m not an animal.”
The large pair of mandibles opened and closed slowly as another screech came.
Taking the tooth he held in his hand from the snake, Max jabbed the makeshift weapon through the ant’s compound eye, driving his entire arm into it, twisting the weapon inside until the insect stopped moving.
Sighing, he pulled his hand free, knowing there would be no stats gained.
Only the giant gorilla that reminded him of the boss he faced so long ago had given him some strength. He was running out of creatures here that were even worth his time.
