Chapter 14 Caveman life 4 (1/2)
as Mars was washing off for the second time today he noticed that the skin around the wound on his knee was turning black
”shit poison!”
knowing he had a even larger wound on his back Mars jumped out of the water and summoned his dragon flame at the highest temperature and covered his entire body in flames that was so hot the ground instantly dyed out and creaked while setting fire to everything that could burn in a almost 5 meter radius
”...please work”
hoping the temperature from his flame would destroy the poison in his body Mars remained sitting as a burning man while praying his idea worked while the nearby water from the river started boiling and the random fires started to spreed until a few minutes later when he stopped the flame and inspected his wounds
”...looks like it worked, damn spiders almost got me from beyond the grave”
finally relived Mars looked around and discovered that he had started a forest fire
”....****”
jumping up he quickly started to put out the flames before even more forest burned down
”...seems like that was the last fire”
after having stopped a forest fire of his own making Mars went back to his cave and spent the rest of the day making a new lumber ax and hatchet before eating some meat and going to sleep early exhausted from staying up all night and fighting the spiders
waking up late morning the next day Mars inspected his wounds and found they had almost healed an then he looked at yesterdays battle spoils consisting of 7 half transparent green beads
”this should be 1400 units of energy... but how much energy do i have stored right now?”

”...so i can only eat one of thees right now or i will go over the cap”
having confirmed his energy storage Mars ate one bead bringing his stored energy to 544 units and deiced to use firewood to get the remaining 156 units of energy need to level his class up to level 8, so acting to get stronger Mars grabbed his newly made bone lumber ax and went into the forest to get some more firewood
”this should do for now”
having gathered almost 260 kilograms of firewood Mars stripped and jumped on to the pile of firewood and lit the fire while keeping a close eye on his stored energy having calculated the amount of firewood correctly his [Energy: storage] skill reached its cap as the fire was almost had burned out so he activated his [Energy: upgrade shop] skill and looked over the options
