Holding up the remaining body of the wasp, I quickly pushed down on it and pushed out a long and pointy stinger. I did not even have to touch the stinger to see that it was extrely sharp and could pierce through almost anything and everything with a single stab.
"Goddamn." I exclaid with a beaming smile.
I was jubilant about how my mini-plan had to been going so far and it was for good reason.
Through that kill, not only had I gotten a weapon that would make other kills a lot easier and efficient, but I also gained sothing else through killing the wasp, sothing for later.
"I really don't want to touch the fleshy part of the stinger, but at the sa ti I don't want wield around a weapon I can barely use due to my grip." I contemplated aloud while looking around to see or find sothing useful for a situation like this.
"If only I had rope..." My eyes wavered and finally landed on a plot of land filled with plant fibers and other straw-like materials.
For a second, it seed like my brain might have short-circuited since I had found myself frozen in place with my eyes half squinted and my back laying on a tree, allowing to relax and simply look at the sa place for a few minutes.
I wasn't wasting ti if there was nothing specific to look forward to any ti in the future, right?
Another lightbulb seed to shine and hover over my head as it finally clicked.
"The string cheese thod!" I shouted a little too loudly causing to quickly cover my mouth, yet the excitent never left my eyes.
The string cheese thod was a thod where one can obtain lots of thin fibers, an example being the plant fibers I was looking at a few seconds ago. After obtaining them, you roll them and wrap them until you get sothing that resembles a rope.
I did not hesitate to follow the steps as I had rembered them.
I quickly separated the plants and fibers, and imdiately got to making a rope. After completing the task on my second try, I quickly ran around for 30 minutes and found a rock and a fairly short branch which I spent another 45 minutes trying to form into the shape of a spear's handle.
After getting sothing relatively close to what I wanted, I quickly shoved the stick into the fleshy part of the sting before wrapping both of them with the rope I had just made.

I grew even more elated after seeing the notification, but I quickly closed my eyes and shook my head after realizing a blaring issue with my current spear.
"I'm going to have to re-tie it every ti I used it since it would probably beco loose, but it shouldn't be too much of a problem, right?" I asked myself with an inquisitive expression.
"Yeah, it should be fine." I replied to my own question before chuckling a little and beginning to walk away from the body of the wasp before anything else cos.
However, right before I was about to leave, I heard a faint rustling coming from a couple of dozen ters away. I knew that the red energy hadn't been activated which caused to be subtly surprised by how far I could hear things as faint as a rustle.
My eyes imdiately darted towards the direction of the sound, while my hand had tightly clenched around the handle of my makeshift spear.
I lowered my center of gravity and did not move my eyes away from the direction the sound had co from. I knew that the thing must not have been too dangerous since I didn't feel any dread, yet there was a chance that it might have been as strong as if not a little bit stronger.
'Maybe my dread tingle is adapting to the threats around ? It might see things that are at the sa level of strength as , as being a non-threat, while only alerting if my life is actually in danger... This might be a problem tho-' I couldn't finish my thought since another rustle, one which was much closer than the other one, snapped out of my daze.
"I'll just run I guess." I spoke out loud as if I was announcing my departure before sprinting the other way without looking back.
This did not stop from hearing the rustles move imdiately after I sprang into action, while at the sa ti sending a shiver down my spine due to how fast they were closing the distance between us
"There should be at least two..." I mumbled before taking a sharp right turn, running up a tree and beginning to jump from branch to branch.
*Bzzzz*
*Bzzzz*
*Bzzzz*
"Oh for god sake. Give a break." I cried as I once again jumped from one branch to the other.
The mont I landed on another branch, I felt a little bit of dread co from 5 different directions, 2 from below and 3 from the sa level or above , ones that I could only guess were the wasps that had appeared.
I instantly ducked down and dodged a stinger coming towards my face before turning around and thrusting my spear in another direction.
*Pitu*
The needle stabbed right through sothing, yet on further inspection, I realized that it was not a wasp that had co after .
Yes, the one that had co after my head has been a wasp, but the second entity had been a dragonfly, one that looked identical to the ones that had attacked a week and a half back when I had co into the world for the first ti.
"Were they always so slow?" I asked under my breath, weirded out by the fact that the sa creatures that haunted on the first day were so weak compared to other entities that I had fought against.
"How the hell did they even catch up to before." I asked with a frown before quickly spinning my spear and smashing down on the dragonfly with the butt of it.
The spear once again twirled and deflected an incoming attack from the sa wasp that had attacked the first ti before stabbing it in the head and ending its life.
*Swoosh*
Sothing shot right past , yet it did not take very long to realize what it had been.
My eyes squinted towards the direction it had co from, allowing to see a mildly feathery bird flying high and raining down razor-sharp feathers like the ones that had just slashed my cheek and forced blood to be drawn out of .
