When he woke up, all the leaves had been digested and turn into Stamina and EXP. He both recover and gain five points each.

After that, he ate another batch of leaves. After he ate 52 leaves, which increased becuase the Steel Belly have level up, he didn't return on sleeping but decided to explore the tree in hopes of finding another creatures. He might be afraid of stronger existence like birds and snakes but he's not when it comes to the same pathetic existence as him like those tree ants. Though he have to be careful about ants since they live in group, a colony... He don't want to be besieged by those creatures. There were strength in numbers after all.

After crawling in the tree for some time, he finally found another creatures, aphids. They were those small white creatures that lives on paratising plants. At Earth, they mostly damage crops and fruit bearing trees.

There were a clusters of them in one leaf, probably numbered fifteen. After some more initial check, he decided to pick the leaf and put it on the trunk. He don't know if he could eat other matters other than plants but he won't try on testing on these creatures, which was why he decided on killing them with other means, by squishing them.

When the leaf was on the trunk, he crawl on top of it and squash all the little creatures inside.

[You have gain 30 EXP]
[You gain another level! Level 1 (20/30)]
[Steal activated. +4 Max HP, +3 Defense, +1 Speed, +5 Stamina Points. You learned skills : Plant Parasite, Parasitic Bite.]

After the initial shock due to sudden awards after defeating the group of aphids, Butter's caterpillar face smile very widely. [Steal] is actually this powerful! He felt very motivated in this moment!

After some more joy, Butter resume on finding other monster in the tree. It will be best if there's some groups of aphids once again. Aphids are the best! Not only they gave plethora of rewards, they were very easy to kill too!

While walking he check the skills he acquired from aphids.

[Plant Parasite - Parasite the plant and receive EXP or recover some Stamina Points.]

[Parasitic Bite - Every bite can steal HP, MP or Stamina Points and recover.]

This skills... are very powerful. Fortunately, aphids are creatures without intelligence and whatever they did are purely base on their instincts or it will be very scary if this creature evolve into something powerful. They were practically a vampire base on these two skills alone!

Tsk... However, it seems that all aphids just possess only this two skills or else there will more.

After some time, he saw another creature and this one looks very familiar, the same kind as him which didn't evolve yet, common caterpillar.

But before he attack other creatures again, he decided to drain his MP first.

Leveling up didn't increase his stats, instead, it only recover his status, like it restored his Stamina and MP.

This time, he casted it ten times simultaneously, draining his MP once again. After his last use, his skill [Plant Extract] have level up which reduce the extracting process by two seconds.

After the process, ten small green orbs float in his front of him which he instantly swallowed.

[You have gain 10 EXP]
[You gain another level! Level 2 (0/40)]

Oh... This was a surprise. He forgot that he only need another 10 EXP and he'll level up again which unexpectedly filled by the ten plant extracts.

Oh, well...

After that, he use [Plant Extract] once again but this time, he only casted 5 which cost him 10 MP. He has a little long way to go before the next level up, he won't drain his MP this time lest he need them later.
