As Hanna drags the three lizards back to her shelter, her muscles creak in protest and her body screams from the pain. But she ignores it, the jubition of testing herself against these wild creatures and winning brought forth a rush of endorphins unlike any other.
She couldn't wait to eat them.
It took a good while, since she couldn't sprint and risk losing out on precious bioenergy when her intense speed causes the corpses ti smash against trees and rocks and cause the gore to fly off the bodies. No she had to walk, carrying them on her shoulders, which, while not burdensome thanks to her improved strength. It was an issue of bancing.
Still, she made it. Depositing the corpses right outside her small abode. The pocket within the branches could not fit both her and one of these creatures so she had to eat out in the open.
But before, she had to regard her prey.
There existed no animals like this on Earth nor in its history. Nothing prehistoric or modern matched the agile, wolf-like reptiles. The only thing close were crocodylians or Komodo dragons. And both examples were rather stout creatures.
Then, an idea.
"System. Can you identify my prey?"
「Report: The Designated Reptilians Are Designated Jagras By The World's Inhabitants」
Well that was both helpful and maddeningly unhelpful. She'd never heard of any Jagras before. Wait.
"System... am- am I still in earth?"
「Response: No.」
"Oh." She said, staring numbly at the pile of bodies before she gulped. Whatever. She can figure it out ter. Even if she were in a different world, it's not like she could do anything about it now. As her dear Grammy always said, "Worry about only what you can change."
And right now she could change her survival chances! She grabbed the nearest of these 'Jagras' and bit into its scaly flesh, pushing its body away as she pulled her head back, tearing it's hide from its body and revealing the meat inside. She gagged, the raw skin of the creatures tough and gamey and tastes of blood.
How in the world her Neanderthal ancestors managed to eat food raw was beyond her. Still, it was this or waste the food and bioenergy.
Her eyes light up as the system congratuted her on discovering the sharp cws trait. She gnced at the corpses feet and narrowed her eyes at the system. Was it fucking with her? Why bring this up when she has four holes in her back from when one of these fuckers jumped on her.
「Trait Avaible: Sharp Cws (Unranked.)」
Unranked huh? Well, she wasn't going to turn it down. The small lizard from before had no traits avaible and she wasn't going to turn down anything that could help her survive.
She took a look at the price. Twenty days of bioenergy to mutate these cws. It was nothing in the face of the ten years she gave up just to strengthen her body.
She immediately accepted the price and groaned in pain as her hands felt like they were on fire, a pressure building painfully under her fingernails before they popped off, ejected off her hands by these long, bck, vicious talons thar grew from her skin.
They were easily two inches long, not much when compared to how long they were on the creatures she got them from, but the razor sharp point and durability of them is what made them dangerous. Easily they tore through the creatures flex, augmenting her enhanced strength by putting her power on a point.
Putting all your bodies strength into your blunted fingertip may perhaps leave a bruise, but doing the same for something smaller, like a screwdriver will punch a hole into a person. These long, thin, sturdy cws will do nicely.
In short order, Hanna found herself having ate three of the Jagras down to their bones. Her hunger had startled her, but asking the system had crified it. Her new body required intense calories to maintain, and although the energy expenditure was rather efficient, explosive bursts of strength such as sprinting, fighting and climbing will burn her calorie stores proportional to the intensity.
And she had been running full sprint and fighting without holding back up until recently.
In other news, eating the three beasts had given her the twenty days of bioenergy back plus an additional half year!
It wasn't much, but at least she was making gains!
Now, she reeked. Covered in sweat, blood, girlcum and jizz, she really needed a bath.
