Spike awoke to find his new crystal golem slave fucking his daughter's brains out. While not an unpleasant thing to wake up to, he didn't have time to join in today. Still, for a brief moment he sat and watched as Sapphire thrust her long, hard, crystal cock into Wigfrid's tight snatch repeatedly without either of them showing signs of exhaustion. Spike chuckled as he rose from his bed and at a hearty breakfast of gems. Today was a big day for him. Today, he was officially going to explore more of the surface. He'd been spending far too much time in the caves, and while he still loved Cavern City, he knew that he'd need to explore elsewhere now that he'd basically gone as deep as he could.

Bidding his two lovely ladies farewell, he set off onto the surface, trekking through the misty wasteland to the only other location he'd ever known: the forest. After so much time down below in the caverns, the sight of the light of day was a little harsh on his eyes, and the scents of the forest were almost over-powering. But he pushed on, slicing through any underbrush that got in his way.

Soon enough, he came upon a clearing with a bizarre sight. A curvaceous looking anthropomorphic bee giving him a sultry look. The glade was filled with the alluring scent of honey as the bee indicated she wanted him to come closer. Curious, he obeyed, and listened to her requests. He wasn't absolutely thrilled with the idea of being filled with bee eggs, so he politely declined and forced himself to depart from the intoxicating aroma. The bee was cute, sure, but even still, she wasn't his type.

After a while longer, Spike found himself being attacked by a plant of some kind. It appeared to be a large, writhing bush of tentacle-like vines, lashing out in an attempt to grab at him. Spike wasn't having any of that, and quickly began to hack at it with his flaming blade before launching a large fire breath at the disgusting thing. Needless to say, it didn't stick around long. As the tainted plant beast retreated, Spike huffed in frustration. Something about this place felt so dull compared to his old haunts in the caves. Maybe it was just that he was more at home in cavernous places due to his draconic nature, but whatever the case, he found himself having little reason to stick around here. He wanted to find adventure elsewhere.

As he made his way for the forest's exit, he stumbled upon something. A small clearing, with nothing but a single little dried stem growing out of the center of it. The light shined down on it through the canopy like a beacon. And as he gazed at it, a single phrase entered his mind:

"Feed me..."

Immediately, Spike felt the urge to masturbate on to this plant, stroking his dick at it while biting his puffy lower lip in anticipation. He didn't know why he was doing this, running his hands over his massive dragon cock faster and faster, desperate to 'water' the little plant. But it felt like the right thing to do, so by Celestia he was going to do it. He moaned out as his knees buckled from the pleasure, his cock twitching in his hands as he jerked himself off hard. He needed to cum. He needed to give this plant his cum. And so he didn't blowing his hot seed all around and over the little brown sprig.

The ground seemed to soak up the cum unnaturally quickly, and before his eyes the tiny plant grew green once more and even increased in size. He felt the need to help it more. But he didn't feel as though it was worth coming back to this forest repeatedly just to water it every day. Then, he got an idea. He dug up the plant, careful not to hurt its roots, then carried it with him back to his home. Carefully, he dug a spot for it next to the cave entrance and replanted it. And thankfully, it seemed to accept its new home. It was then that he decided he would feed it once a day, either giving it his cum or a taste of any liquids he found and thought to give it, as it didn't seem to care. He was going to grow this thing eventual, so help him.

Satisfied with his gardening skills, he journeyed out in some random direction, wanting to find something new and exciting. And after a good deal of walking, he came across something. The ground turned to sand under his claws, and the sound of crashing waves rolled in from the distance. Spike had discovered an ocean front beach! He could see the waves in the distance, with a thick mist blocking out the horizon. As he gazed out, he wondered what new things he would see here.

It was then that he saw a massive, scaled tail arcing through the water way off in the distance, returning down into the water. Seeing that gave him a certain scale of what to expect here. Something told him this place would be a challenge... and a fun one at that!

He headed down the beach front towards the water when his foot bumped into something, causing him to stop and swear from his stubbed toe. He looked down, and saw the corner of what looked like a treasure chest! Spike couldn't believe his luck, and immediately began to dig it up. After about an hour of fierce digging, he had it up. However, before he could open it, suddenly the chest sprung to life. A pair of fierce looking pincers came out of either side of its body as a set of long pointed legs grew form under it. It opened wide, revealing a set of teeth as it tried to bite down on his head. He dove back and retrieved his sword before lunging forward to battle the strange crab-like creature. The creature dodged his swing before giving him a rapid strike to his side with one of its claws. He rolled out of the hit and noticed it had snatched a crystal heart off of him, stuffing the stolen treasure into its mouth. Spike, rightfully upset at the loss of his property, dove forward again to deliver a deadly slash to the creature before it could react this time.

The chest fell to the ground, legs, claws, and teeth retracting as it became just a normal chest. Spike dug around inside, but couldn't find the item it had stolen. However, he was able to snag some money and another item the creature seemed to have swallowed. It was a long-stemmed bottle with a milky substance inside. The label showed a large-breasted woman feeding two men from her tits as they jerked off, and read "LaBova." Interested, Spike popped the cork and gave it a sniff, cringing slightly at the vague stench he'd come to recognize as the stench of corruption. Perhaps the alchemist in Cavern City could purify it for him... As he pondered this, the chest slammed itself closed and reburied itself, vanishing from sight.

Spike would have to keep an eye out for those creatures again. It looked like they ate a lot of items; chances are they might have some rare ones now and then. For now though, Spike felt his day at the beach was done. He'd return to explore more later, of course. There was so much potential for new adventures here.

Author's Note

Woo! New area to explore, new monsters to fight!
Two things before people talk about it: one, I am well aware now that there is already an NPC who is a plant you grow, although I only learned of this yesterday while this was an idea I'd had since I started this fic, and two, I know a lot of sea creatures already live in the lake so why should we have an ocean, and my response is that I don't particularly care and there's a lot of opportunities I see coming out of the beach area.

In any case, time for the bestiary.

The Beach: The pristine sands seem to stretch out for miles, and the sea looks as though it may have no end. This place is great to relax on, as long as you keep one eye on the waters; they hide many secrets, and you don't want them slipping up on you while you sunbath.
Mimic Crab: This demon-altered trap-beast is a massive pain in any treasure hunter's backside. They lie in wait for a pirate or other assortment of thief or adventurer to dig them up, then attack, stealing any loot the may have and hopefully grabbing up the victims themselves. Demons will stop by every now and then to empty the crabs, taking any victims or interesting items for themselves. If you defeat a mimic crab, you have a good chance of finding a rare item some unfortunate soul lost.
