Reincarnated As A Wolf With Cheats

Chapter 57 Poison Resistance

He didn't have any appraisal skills nor did he have any search skills, but those weren't required in the first place because he had a system.

Probably he expected the system to do those works.

'System, can you determine what kind of beast is nearby?', Shin asked.

He could feel a faint aura so he was sure that there was something nearby. But he had no idea of what it was.

'Ding'

[ Affirmative ]

[ Detecting... ]

It took a second or two for the system to find out what kind of beast was nearby.

'Ding'

[ A Green Poison Lizard found ]

[ Advice: The system advises the host to ignore it and move forward for another mile to find a Mariorack Deer ]

Shin had absolutely no reason to ignore the system's advice. But, he ignored it for the time being.

His reasoning was way bizarre but was somewhat correct. He wanted to eat the lizard just because the word 'Poison' was mentioned.

He hadn't gained any skill that immunized him against poison. He had never encountered any beast that used poison. To be precise, he either dodged the attacks or escaped from them, never once did he think that he could use them to his advantage to gain poison resistance!

Finally, his bird-sized brain thought for once and he could now finally gain the poison resistance!

However, it wasn't to be underestimated. When hit by poison, one would require to create an antidote to get healed!

Did Shin have the capabilities to create an antidote of a poison completely unknown? The answer was no, he didn't have any ability or skill that could create an antidote.

So it was obvious, even if he could gain the Poison resistance skill, he would still be affected by the poison for the first time!

Was his body's resistance high enough to reject the poison and stay completely fine? Well, the answer was no!

A pup couldn't possibly strong against poisons! There might be a few poisons that didn't affect the wolves, but that was for the adults!

The Bird-Sized brain wasn't capable of thinking all this. All he imagined was getting a poison resistance skill and that's all!

'I can easily track down the Mariorack Deer after gaining the resistant skill!', he thought and went and did what he wasn't supposed to do.

He jumped into the bush as if he was inviting the lizard to bite him and inject poison inside him.

How foolish could he be?

Doesn't matter, what he wanted was achieved. The tiny lizard, which no longer than a fist, bit him exactly in his left hind limb.

As soon as it injected the poison, Shin killed by wacking it once with his short strong right forelimb.

'Ding'

[ You have killed a Green Poison Lizard ]

[ You gain absolutely no merit in killing it ]

It was fine till here, but right after this something unexpected happened.

[ Warning ]

[ You have been infected by a poison ]

[ Your tissues are being damaged ]

[ You have been infected by a poison ]

[ Your tissues are being damaged ]

"What the-"

His vision became blurry. Without a doubt, the poison affected his body almost immediately causing this.

The warning message appeared again and again but what could he do? All he could do was hear the voice in his head.

His eyes were too blurry for him to see what was written.

'Ding'

[ You have acquired the passive skill 'Poison Resistance' Lv.1 ]

[ Poison Resistance -> The host will no longer be affected by minor poisons ]

Minor poisons? Was it a minor poison that was affecting his body?

Absolutely no! It was definitely a strong poison. It spread throughout his body rapidly after all causing him pain and showing symptoms almost immediately.

Shin just fell on the ground right where he had killed the lizard. His body was insanely weak right now.

His bones were clearly visible! He was probably getting dehydrated!

The poison was not only destroying his tissues but was also causing dehydration? Interesting!

Well, in any case, the warning notification didn't stop. Not until it started showing his HP.

'Ding'

[ Warning ]

[ Less than 50% of HP remains ]

[ HP: 32/65 || Max. HP: ??? ]

[ Advice: The system advises the host to activate the class Predator and consume the Green Poison Lizard ]

Shin heard that and almost immediately activated the class and just swallowed the lizard.

'Ding'

[ You have activated the Class Predator ]

-> The host can hunt only those monsters which are considered to be prey.

-> Provides Specific skills and stats on hunting or consuming the monsters or beasts.

-> Intimidation increases by 10%

[ You have consumed a high-ranking Poison Lizard 'Green Poison Lizard' ]

[ Due to the Class Predator, a new skill has been generated ]

'Ding'

[ You have acquired the all-round skill 'Poison Destroyer' Lv.1 ]

[ Poison Destroyer -> Acts as both active and passive skill. It remains passive for the host and can be actively used on the target ]

'Ding'

[ Poison Destroyer has started to create antidote within the body ]

[ ... ]

[ Antidote has been deemed to be effective ]

[ The poison is being destroyed in the host ]

[ Estimated time before the poison is completely destroyed: 00:08:00:00 ( 8 hours ) ]

While Shin heard that, he became unconscious. Of course, he was relieved because he knew that he would be cured of the poison soon, but a bigger worry laid in his mind.

Would he be safe from other beasts nearby? Well, chances of running into a dangerous beast were quite low since he hadn't run into one in a while so it could be considered to be safe.

Well, eight hours were no joke, but now everything was on his luck.

Luck? It would be better to say 'The System'. Because the system definitely had some sort of defensive mechanism to protect its host at least in some situations.

Regardless, Shin kept on sleeping here, rather, lying unconscious while his body was being cured. It was a bit painful for him because of the poison, but in the end, he would be happy to have gained two extra skills.

Well, there was nothing he had to be worried about anymore, but little did he know about the great moment that was going to come soon!
