8 Black Taipan *

They've been driving for an hour now, not too much has happened to them. Many beasts are fighting for territory, they've seen other lizards, scorpions, spiders, snakes, and birds all fighting for dominance, specifically in areas with a lot of vegetation.

Lachlan hasn't been able to analyse any of these beasts, his family are scared that it may haunt him, seeing all the blood and body parts scattered across the ground and trees. As such, he's just been sitting there silently, holding onto Sarah.

*Bang*Crash*Hsss*Thump Thump Thump*Hsss*

Going around a bend in the road they came across two beast fighting in front of them, a Snake and a Kangaroo. Lachlan finally managed to see a fight and was trembling, in his sight were two beasts in miserable conditions.

The Kangaroo's legs had been ripped off the thrown to the side, blood splattered across the ground whenever it moved. It has cuts and scratches covering its body, it's surprising it can even stand. The thumping must've come from the Kangaroo's tail, slamming against the ground trying to hit the Snake.

The Snake was also in no better condition, it seemed to have had a fang ripped out. Some parts across the Snake's body were completely crushed, most likely hit by the Kangaroo's tail or foot.

Taking this opportunity Lachlan quickly analysed them.

--------------------------------------------------------

Lachlan was getting more and more confused by all the numbers, he didn't know how any of it worked, all he did know was the bigger numbers meant stronger beast.

Although he had little hope it could work, as there should be a limit to his eyes, he tried it anyway, "Analyse, Level".

--------------------------------------------------------

Level: Determined at the amount of bonus stat points (+) an individual has. Every time an individual's level increases by 10, the difficulty in leaving up is doubled.

1 - 10: Every level is increased for every 5 bonus stats

11 - 20: Every level is increased for every 10 bonus stats

21 - 30: Every level is increased for every 20 bonus stats

Etc.

Note: Higher Level's does not always mean stronger individual.

--------------------------------------------------------

'Ahh, that didn't really help me,' Lachlan thought. After all, in the battle going on in front of him, it was obvious the Snake was going to win, although it certainly wouldn't leave unscathed.

Lachlan was constantly thinking the same question, 'What are bonus stats? How do you increase them?'

Well, Lachlan knew a way to increase them, taming. It seemed that through taming a person could gain a bit of the tamed beast base strength and characteristics, however, that won't work for and beast as they can't tame.

Thinking about it hurt Lachlan's brain, it was starting to get really confusing and it started to frustrate him. As such, relying on the eyes, "Analyse, Bonus Stat Points"

--------------------------------------------------------

Bonus Stat Points: Earned from either killing or taming a beast.

Killing: Gain 5% of the two highest base stat points of that particular beast.

Taming: Gain 20% of all base stat points for that particular beast.

--------------------------------------------------------

Seeing that cleared Lachlan's thoughts, however, that meant that in the one hour since the evolution, the Snake had managed to kill a large amount of beast. Thinking about it Lachlan could only come up with one conclusion as to how it had managed to kill so many animals, poison.

The Snake most likely bit its targets and escaped, only it seems it had failed to escape this Kangaroo.

...

In the car everyone was deathly silent, watching the battle go on.

*Thump Thump*Thump Thump*Thump Thump*

Before they realised it, three more Kangaroos were in front of the snake, although slightly smaller then the injured one, they were still roughly 4 - 5 metres tall.

...

Seeing that it is now at a huge disadvantage the Snake began its escaped, unfortunately, two of the smaller Kangaroos had already pounced on it and grabbed its tail.

Realising that it can't escape the Snake quickly turned around and bit the two holding it down. If it was going to die it might as well bright all its enemies with it.

Before the two Kangaroos could retreat the snake had already wrapped its body around their legs slowly tightening and crushing them, it then quickly shot out and bit them on the neck.

The other two Kangaroos quickly pounced forwards, grab hold of the Snake's head, the injured Kangaroo managed to get the Snake into a headlock, allow the uninjured one to start rapidly beating it.

Using its tail for balance, the Kangaroo lifted up its legs and launched them at the Snake's head, almost crushing it. Not feeling any movement the Kangaroo released its headlock, letting the still alive Snake bite its shoulder.

Slowly falling down, the injured Kangaroo finally stopped breathing. All that's left was was the uninjured Kangaroo that beat the Snake's head, and a completely crushed Snake which was somehow still alive.

They stared each other in the eyes, hesitating whether or not to continue the fight. Although the Kangaroo was uninjured the Snake had far superior stats and just got another boast from killing its family.

Unfortunately, neither of these two beasts noticed the small black shadow staring at them from beneath one of the tree roots.

Shooting out, the shadow bit an open wound on the Snake and the toe of the Kangaroo, leaving a tiny and unnoticeable bite mark.

However, Lachlan managed to see it, and the stats were unimpressive and impressive at the same time.

Important Note:

I have changed previous chapters so it fits in with this. Let's just say there might be constant changes to certain things, obviously, I have better ways to use those changes which I do hope you enjoy.
