Chapter 67: Stuck
Chapter 67: Stuck
One thing particularly interesting about the far north coral reef, was just how close the shorelines were. It being close explained the presence of the spearfishermen in this specific portion of the reef.
And it explained the presence of the countless men and women who were having a good time along this particular beach of the city.
Tim's starting point was far from the beach, yet it wasn't too far either. Of course he wasn't 3 kilometres away from the beach, but never bothered to come on this side either since no task pointed towards it.
The coral was built in such a way that if one got dropped on the far south of the reef, specifically where Tim reincarnated, it would only set them a couple more hundred meters away from the shores.
But, if one was dropped on the far north of this reef, where he was now that is, they would be a couple more hundred meters closer to the shores.
It's a bit hard to understand, but that's how the coral was generated here. And where the hidden den was, also played a large role when it came to getting around.
Well, now Tim was closer than ever to the shore and with just a 400 meter swim, he had reached in the most shallow water ever, based on the boy's experience of course.
Timmy could see the sand just below him and the water surface close by as well. The water was 2 meters deep here and he was swimming in the middle, the friendly couple of fish following along of course.
"These are the ones, bite and sting as many of them as you can." Stacey encouraged, as they gazed upon the swimming and playing humans just 10 meters away.
Their movements were a bit of a blur for him, especially since most of them weren't standing in one place, he could hear kids yelling and running around as they do but it would be too risky to reach those, that's far too shallow.
Seeing the countless risk factors here, he wanted to bring back a previous topic by starting it off with. "There are a lot of humans here, gotta be like half a million."
"Or 50." Osira corrected, seeing that her friend here was exaggerating things.
Getting to what he wanted to say, the kinda clever sea disk recited. "Right. Well I will only attack like 5, can't bite them all or I can die here."
Although hating this deal, she had to agree with half a tone. "Fine, bite 5 of them."
Feeling ready, Timmy charged directly towards the closest human. Basing it on body figure, this one seemed like a big male with decent muscles. It's odd how this one was in deeper waters when he could show off those muscles to the countless ladies here.
But regardless, Tim swam right between the legs and heard the humanoid shout from the top of his lungs. "Cavalo!"
After landing a strike with that vicious barb, Tim swam away at full speed and thought. "What's he screaming about? A leg wound doesn't hurt that much."
The young stingray doesn't plan to attack this one again, no that would take too much time. Instead he swam directly towards the next target, this one appeared to be female but a lot older.
Timmy could see roll after roll of fat, she was quite wide. Wasting no second, the boy stung this one right above the knee as well and moved to the next target with no thought of coming back.
But this one didn't scream for a while, about 10 seconds really. Perhaps she did not notice the barb, was asleep maybe? It was uncertain to Timothy but perhaps all the blood woke that lady up.
He felt a bit weird about attacking the human kind, he was of the same species before after all so these attacks didn't fail to arouse bad feelings.
Unwilling to go check on the old lady, he floated all the way to the next target and noticed that this one was a female as well.
Except she seemed younger and better toned, had a lot more curves. If Timmy was human, he would likely sneak peaks of this fine lady time after time.
But as a stingray, he didn't really feel aroused. Most of his mind is like that of a stingray's, the only difference was his soul being human, which of course made him different from any other living stingray at the moment.
This portion of the beach was a couple of feet more shallow, Tim didn't notice that until he had to pick out which body part to strike.
Yet he didn't care to be decisive since any damage is enough to cause a little blood pool. A couple of seconds later, he felt that something was odd after landing this sting.
There was something holding him back, as if that lady was quick enough to grab the boy by the tail. That of which made him shout out like a spooked baboon, "Let me go!"
Looking back while still swimming straight forward, he could see that some cloth was stuck on his tail. It took him a moment to realise what it was, but hearing the high pitched scream after helped assure the theory.
"I stole her bra?" The boy thought to himself and felt extremely embarrassed.
The system sounded female as well and he did not want her to observe such a sight, in a bizarre way it felt like stealing her bra and that would feel tremendously embarrassing.
A second after, his head hit something hard but yet soft. And then he could feel the entire little stingray body being elevated from the water.
A male human face captured his vision after, this one had grabbed the bra and lifted Tim from the waters along with it.
And so, that same high pitched scream echoed across the beach but this time, the humanoid could see the almost naked lady pointing with one hand towards him and with the other covering her breasts.
Upon further comprehension, he also saw a good portion of men and women charging towards him.
