Potion Maker Chapter 13: Ravine

Will waited outside the clearing for the snake to die as he kept checking for what just fought the snake.

There was a nice gouge on the underbelly of the snake, with crimson blood painting the grass red.

He watched as the snake looked in his direction.

This caused goosebumps to form on his body as he thought the snake would charge at him.

It wasn't mentioned before but this snake is about ten meters long!

It is not something you could just pin down!

Seeing that the snake showed no signs of moving in his direction Will felt relief.

Will waited for a couple hours until the snake could no longer hold on to it's life.

Slowly walking to the center of the clearing, Will prodded the snake's body with a stick as he watched for enemies.

Seeing that there was no movements from the snake or the surroundings he started to pry scales off of the snake's body.

He collected some of the snake's blood by absorbing it with a piece of cloth from his shirt and wrapping it in leaves.

Through the gouge he could see the snake's gallbladder, "I could use this to make a potion to help with eyesight and other things"

Collecting the gallbladder a fishy smell spread into the air as he wrapped it with leaves and tied it with cloth from his pants.

Smelling the scent from the snake he quickly left the clearing to avoid running into any predators.

Running through the forest the sounds of branches snapping and leaves rustling could be heard as Will moved.

Moving through the path he made on his way to the clearing Will's mind buzzed with excitement.

He gets to make his strength enhancement potion!

Very soon he won't be weaker than this world's children!

'I think I might try a four times strength enhancement potion, I will jump to the four times, I wonder how long I will sleep after making it?'

Even if he has his main ingredients, it doesn't mean he won't faint.

If he makes a stronger potion than any he has made before, even if he has a main ingredient, there is a high chance that he'll faint.

With the snapping of twigs echoing through the surroundings Will kept running as fast as he could.

He was worried that a scarier creature will be attracted by the smell of the snake's gallbladder!

One thing he forgot though, is that when a predator hears or sees something running, they'll definitely be attracted.

Plus, there is also the smell of the snake's gallbladder.

Several trees behind the sprinting Will collapsed followed by an earth-shaking roar!

It was what he hoped wouldn't happen!

Bursting out of the trees behind him, a massive beast that looked like an oversized lion with flames leaping out of it's mane charged towards Will.

"F*uuck!"

Sprinting as fast as he could, Will quickly ran out of breath.

Not to mention on earth he was a lazy *ss who sat around a lot.

In this world he can't even beat a child!

Now there is a lion from this world chasing him!

Considering the strength of the lifeforms of this world he is definitely dead meat since this lion came up!

In not even ten seconds the lion moved twenty meters and appeared a meter behind him!

He could feel the hot breath of the lion blowing against his back!

Enduring the feeling of the branches and leaves whipping against his face, Will jumped into a small raving that appeared beside him.

Rolling into the ravine Will rolled several meters until he splashed into shallow water.

Looking up, he wiped mud from his face as he looked at the lion that jumped towards him.

Will's body froze as he braced himself for his death, he was to tired to move anymore.

As the lion's body lifted off of the ground, the edge of the ravine vibrated gently, the leaves on the ground in the surroundings stirred in a non existent wind as they flew into the air, creating a colorful cloud of leaves that swarmed towards the lion.

As the leaves wrapped up the lion like a cocoon, Will was shaking with awe.

"What just happened!?"

Standing up as he staggered slightly, he tried to catch his breath.

Watching the cocooned lion his eyes widened as the leaves scattered while flame burst out of the cocoon.

A roar that shook the forest burst out from the cocoon as the lion broke free and looked at Will with enraged eyes.

"It wasn't me, don't look at me like that!"

Will shouted in a moment of fear as he watched the lion jump towards him again.

A wind picked up out of nowhere as the trees in the surroundings started to shake as leaves fell off of the branches.

Very quickly a green cloud of leaves formed and swarmed towards the lion again.

The now green, cocoon twitched several times as the lion tried to break free, smoke escaped from the between the leaves.

After several minutes the struggling came to an end as a sickening sound of bones and flesh tearing echoed throughout the surroundings.

The leaves left and reconnected to the trees they came from, leaving behind a bloody pulp.

Watching the events that unfolded in front of him, Will was extremely frightened.

'What did I just step into?'
