Chapter 75: Basilisk Observation Report

I’d started preparing for a possible solo Basilisk subjugation, and for that I needed a way to safely observe it

“This looks good enough”

The first of those preparations was stealth equiphillie suit

I first took all the Goether an overcoat with the use of Blackhair threadsI then dipped this coat into one of the bubbling purple bogs and as I expected, the clothing was now died the same colorI added random bunches of weeds and mushrooms on top and done

Still, the Basilisk didn’t have eyes, and e waste of tiot another use out of Blackhair bind: now I couldform, I could actually separate it from it’s shadow, or my body, and it’d last quite a while

Depending on how I practice with this, I er tentacle hairs last longer too

Another neay I’d used Blackhair Bind was for clirown a lot froot itNow,Goar, so obviously they could lift upbody

And no, it wasn’t like I inging tree to tree like Tarzan, but now I had the option of cli up places and survey the area

The ca practice took all of the first day

And only thereafter did I start my focused observation on the Boss of this poisoned zone

So anyway, since I’ wellThe Basilisk didn’t see me or it actually hadn’t detected my presenceAnd I didn’t want to test the waters just yet because it was still seriously scary, so I kept up my observation from afar

And once I’d done that a few days, I learned 3 things

Nuoras

It theplace, crosses over the crescent shaped ora field just beyondIt then uses its short but thick front nails to dig out and eat the plant creaturesAnd it eats with gustoSo usto in fact that it made me want to eat one too

Here I was thinking that if it ate that many, that fast, the field would be empty in no time… But the next day, I saw that the area that the Basilisk had grazed on had regrown its portion of Mandragora alreadyAnd that made me thinkThis whole spot rew at an

alareon keeps the Basilisk in its spot, like with so device

So this co my time until it starved and weakened

Alright, Number 2: It eats other monsters too

This was so the big white thing laze around all day

A group of Golad I hadhere and collecting rounds tooAnd if they found me, I’d have one more problem to deal with

The rowdy bunch of Go down the running mushroom

I guess they didn’t want to breathe in the Matango’s spores, whichafter all, so they only did ranged attacks like throwing stones or torches or using their bow and arrowsBecause of this slow o and had made it to the banks of the crescent moat, Basilisk territory

And when the Gooras, the Basilisk e body was not the fastest, but it moved al a sound, approached the new invaders quietly, like a preying alligator, and ――

“Boaahhhh!”

It raised its head fro Gomas with its acidic breathWith a color closer to black than purple, this breath looked deadly, as it released when it yawned

Bathed in the toxic s in pain, flooding blood fro deadTheir black skin instantly began blistering, with red popping bubbles, and melted away

The way I once saw Go in a whole other vector

But I was used to death by nowI wasn’t shocked to the point that I’d forget to analyze this attack

“… So it can’t melt clothes?”

The Gomas looked awful, Ior weapons had sustained any daWhich s, or it didn’t have a strong enough acid or reactive component to do itIt could be sos, or an acid that highly specialized inthem

Still, that shi+t is scaryThe Go in one breath, and, I only noticed it later but, the Matango had also died writhing aroundThe mushroom monster obviously didn’t have blood and had become a withered husk

“One

“One shot of that and I’m dead”

And I don’t think holding my breath would helpThis re this kind of poison gasWhat was it, VX gas or so?

Anyways, after its prey had died, the Basilisk waded out of the bog and ate it all up

Finally, Number 3: the Basilisk’s lifestyle

This was so I could confireon, there was no day and night, it was all lit up from above, all the timeAnd since I possessed this ability to ood estimate of the Basilisk’s daily lifestyle

The Basilisk ate its staple of Mandragoras in theOnly onceBut if other monsters entered its territory while it wasn’t asleep, it will hunt the this twice, once with the previous incident with the Goo wandeing around aimlessly

It sleeps at nightIt went to sleep right around sunset time, and didn’tthe day either, but it still waddled around, so its head in a yawn, so I kneakeIt kept coht so I marked that down it as not awake

This was the info I’d obtained over a 3 day stakeoutI had to suffer through a lot of boredoet to this point, since the Boss was essentially like a NEET, it just lazed around all dayI even had to pull all-nighters so I could measure its sleep cycle

I’d prefer to getter tiood enough estimate of the Basilisk’s behavioral patterns

Now then, let’s address the main issue

“I have no idea how to kill it”

I didn’t have any attack strong enough to kill this thing

There was the possibility that I could sneak up on it at ‘night’ time, but if it woke up, I’d be at a complete loss as to what to do, and, of my lifeI’m dead if that destructive breath hits and I’m also dead if it kicks me with those clawed paws

I’d have to prepare a stick or two of dynaoNeedless to say, I did not in fact have aexplosiveIf Mei-chan was here, I bet one solid blow to the head from her would do the job, but I had to think realistic, not miracles

“So I can’t sneak up on it, then… Uhhh, maybe set a trap?”

I had to think like a cavee it head on since that would be extremely stupid, but I could trap it, seal itstill it diesI saw this historical docu a pit where they dropped theit with their spears

“Can’t do that eitherI’ toanyway”

This was still a solo uess with Re aith a Go much to the Basilisk

And digging a pit that large wasn’t exactly a viable optionEven with shovels, I highly doubt I had the stamina or will power to build even a hu creature
