Chapter 49 - 48 - Am I A Rude Guest?

Tsh…......*STILL* SSHHHHHH...…..Now as you can see here, there is a creature I'm keeping my eyes and ears on.

SHHH AH CRAP! SHHWhew! Made me scared for a sec! SHHH HEY! SHHH Ah? SHHH Make up your mind already! SHH…AH! SHH......Hey, man? Why're you trying to scare me like that?

Literally pump faking me…I bet it was like "HA, MADE YOU FLINCHED!"...Why, though? Is it trying to make me move? SHHH

Let's make a bet then…IT'S YOUR MOVE! EITHER I MOVE OR YOU MOVE PAST ME! SSHHH WELL COME ON THEN!!!!

…SHHHH…That's curious? …AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!SHH… Okay, then. Are these like wormsands or something? Heh…

TSHU TSHU TSHU TSHU TSHU SHHHHH Hm…Running also makes it run? I'm guessing too much vibration, if not then is it noise? 

Doesn't noise cause vibrations too? Especially with sand right? I remember there were those sand patterns made with sound…nevermind that.

…I guess the sand is different or maybe the creature is just weird....Geez, my view of this world keeps getting refreshed over and over again.

~So surprising~….Another world, with no idea how it works….Well, I'll find out later, right now though?...SHHH…Gotta make some noise!

HUP! STOMP STOMP STOMP*Stop* What am I doing? Just run it! TSH TSH TSH TSH….Shhhhh *Stop*...

Problem solved? Boom TTSHH Huh? That's neat…are those spikes? Horns? *RISE* TTSSHH Ah…I see. 

Now that…is a problem…It wasn't a sandworm…No, it's a spider about the size of a dog. Scary to think about and especially terrifying when I'm facing it right now.

You know the weird thing though? I'm only feeling overwhelming tenseness…I'm still scared but it's more like facing a dog that's just overly friendly. No, maybe it's more like facing a non-venomous snake? 

You can freeze up, run, or even want to fight that threat, but this? This situation feels non-threatening…even though I know spiders can prey on things bigger than themselves, my body is just tense.

Or maybe my body hasn't fully adapted to the world yet and literally just labeled this spider creature to be non-threatening for now.

NAH! That wouldn't make sense…especially when I'm in a new place with me needing to be cautious of everything.

Does it have to do with its appearance? Maybe? Like shouldn't it be camouflaged? From what I can see, it has the typical spider-like body, six legs, beading eyes, and fangs. But the appearance of it just doesn't fit the environment at all. Its color is grey, like plain grey.

So with it out in the open like this in the desert, it's very visible to me.

Aren't spiders usually ambush-like creatures? Because it doesn't look like it's gonna ambush me at all. Not from its appearance and especially not from its form 

So why is my body like this—TSH…It's coming! AHHH! Tsh Oh! It reacted to the noise…So noises–Tsh Tsh NOPE! It's running towards me! TSH TSH TSH TSH TSH TSH TSH TSH TSH TSH…Hm? Why'd it stop? 

It's looking at the spot I was in earlier? SSHHH And it is pushing the sand around…Weird? Tsh SSHHTsh SSHH Tsh SSHH Is it filling the holes I made? I think I just intruded on this creature's home and trashed the place.

TSH TSH TSH Let me just test that theory first….Tsh SSHH Tsh SSHH Tsh SSHH…. So I'm correct…but is it angry though? SHHH Nope. It just went back into the ground…Now the next question is…Should I be quiet?

SHHHHH Coming towards me now…Yea or nah? SHHH Nah, I'm not gonna risk it. TSH TSH TSH Sorry if I am trashing your place, but I don't know what's gonna happen if you get near me. 

SO just follow along I guess, all while cleaning up after myself of course. Sorry again…TSH TSH TSH 

TSH TSH TSH TSH TSH Still following along…I guess that'll do for now, as long as you don't harm me or anything.

TSH TSH TSH This kinda reminds of the ducklings following their mother. Though its—ah it's gone back now. Probably out of its territory or something, given how big this place is I doubt the spider could own everything. 

Weird encounter…but alright! It's better than anything harmful. Thanks for the experience I guess. TSH TSH TSH Back to trekking the distance again.

~~Hmm~~Hm~~Hmmm~~HmmMMMMMM~~ TSH TSH…SHHH…Another one has appeared, this one's a bit bigger than the last one. TSH TSH TSH TSH SHHH Yep same reaction.

I guess I'll just go around them if I encounter them…TSH TSH TSH TSH Was it because I caused so much noise the last time? 'Cause this time, the spider ain't coming out…

OH! I forgot to name these spiders. How about Burroweb? Self-explanatory, but simple.

TSH TSH And its gone back just like the previous one. TSH TSH Are these guys even harmful? Wait, hold on…Have I even seen a creature eat anything? 

Igniscale? Gigante Slime? Buddy? Nope, they were more like elements to nature. How about the ones that didn't leave a memorable time…Rhinos? Nope. Insects? Nope. Plants? No…
