I'm trying to find a chapter of some series I can't remember, here's what I can recall that happened:
>group of people are in a spaceship
>reach a planet
>the planet "seems alive"
>it boils fishes in a river
>one of the astronauts says the fish is bad
>other seems to be "falling in love" with the planet
>the guy who said the fish was bad, later is seen drilling the planet, while the planets screams of pain, and the dude laughs like a maniac
>the other dude seems to kill him(?) (can't remember this part happening)
>planet starts to make volcano eruptions
>everyone leaves except the dude in love
>he sees a female face form into the dirt/water (can't remember this part clearly).

Ray Bradbury: Here There Be Tygers

---

They found a small stream which poured into a boiling water pool. Fish, swimming in the cold creek above, fell glittering into the hot spring and floated, minutes later, cooked, to the surface.

Chatterton reluctantly joined the others, eating.

“It’ll poison us all. There’s always a trick to things like this. I’m sleeping in the rocket tonight. You can sleep out if you want. To quote a map I saw in medieval history: ‘Here there be tygers.’ Some time tonight when you’re sleeping, the tigers and cannibals will show up.”

Forester shook his head. “I’ll go along with you, this planet is alive. It’s a race itself. But it needs us to show off to, to appreciate its beauty. What’s the use of a stage full of miracles if there’s no audience?”

But Chatterton was busy. He was bent over, being sick.

“I’m poisoned! Poisoned!”

They held his shoulders until the sickness passed. They gave him water. The others were feeling fine.

“Better eat nothing but ship’s food from now on,” advised Forester. “It’d be safer.”

[...]

The Drill stood in the center of a little sea of grass. For a moment it plunged away, bringing up moist corks of sod which it spat unceremoniously into a shaking analysis bin.

Now the Drill gave a wrenched, metallic squeal like a monster interrupted at its feed. From the soil beneath it slow bluish liquids bubbled up.

Chatterton shouted, “Get back, you fool!”

The Drill lumbered in a prehistoric dance. It shrieked like a mighty train turning on a sharp curve, throwing out red sparks. It was sinking. The black slime gave under it in a dark convulsion.

With a coughing sigh, a series of pants and churnings, the Drill sank into a black scum like an elephant shot and dying, trumpeting, like a mammoth at the end of an age, vanishing limb by ponderous limb into the pit.
