Chapter 62: Bitchy Carabao (1/2)

Nile crawled back in the wall of the Village Hall and leaned his back on it to relax.

He took a peek at Maximo and said stats.

[Maximo:

Early Stage Level One° Mutated Carabao.

Metallise Horn.

Thick Metallise Hide.

Status: Evolving to middle-Level One°

]

Unlike the usual stats points of humans and zombies.

Animal's Level System is different. On every Level, the animals are divided into four stages namely, Early, Middle, Late, and Peak. On every stage, they will evolve and gain notable strength.

Maximo is only an Early Stage Level One° animal. On human and zombie stats points, by comparison, Maximo strength is at 5.1-7.0.

Middle Stage Level One° animal stats points are comparable to, 7.01-9.0, Late Stage Level One° animal is 9.01-11.0, while the Peak Stage Level One° animal is comparable to 11.01-14.9 stats points.

For Maximo to be able to receive the punch of the Level One° zombie that has the strength equivalent to 8.20 was remarkable. It seems that Maximo has an exceptional hide as its defence.

Maximo is currently evolving towards Middle Stage Level One° anima. Nile did not know how much time until Maximo evolve, but he knew that after Maximo successfully evolves, he will become stronger with his stats hovering on 7.01-9.0 points.

It was already late noon, Nile had already rested enough, and his energy is now almost back to full. Maximo had also started to return on being lively again.

Nile took a food and water ration from his Storage Space and started to eat. As far as Nile knew, Maximo did not eat anything so far. He reckons that the system said that animals need to eat mutated plant or other mutated animals to evolve.

Maximo is in the process of evolving, feeding him mutated plants might hasten this process.

Nile gives Maximo the water ration which Maximo gladly took a sip which almost emptied the whole gallon.

After eating his fill, Nile drink a mouthful of water and started to observe his surroundings carefully. He remembered that back in his previous life, Carabao's can be fed with Sugarcane leaves.

Nile approach the sugarcane plantation at the distance and after saying 'stats' inside his head. Nile realized that it was really a mutated sugarcane.

Its stem is gaining metallic properties, if this stem matured, they can be used as poles. Of course, using them as a weapon to battle Level One° zombie is a wishful thinking. They might have already mutated, but even metals did not have the same strength, hardness and density.

Nile cut a couple of sugarcane stems along with their leaves and bring them back to Maximo. He heard a metal clashing metal sound when he made the slash, but because of the superiority of the Katana, it got cut easily.

Maximo is still enjoying its drink. It stared at Nile curiously, who is bringing the sugarcane leaves along.

Nile offered the sugarcane stem and leaves towards Maximo. Maximo scrutinizes its brows together, it stared at the sugarcane and Nile alternately.

After a while, it realizes what Nile is doing. Maximo could not help but made a 'blergh'. It turned its head around and continued to sip on the little water that is left on the gallon.

For a moment, Nile thought he heard Maximo say 'hmmp' when it turns its head around.
