– Volume 3 Episode 18
Soon the hunting team departed.
The Jeep was left untouched.
As the target was the Wyvern, it might be better to go by car.
Even for a Wyvern, it is not easy to lift the whole car.
Moreover, there are various weapons attached to the car, so if you approach it hastily, it will be full of holes.
However, there were also underground monsters in this dungeon.
No matter how much reinforcement was made, there was no way to deal with the attack coming up from the bottom.
If you make a mistake, you could fly away with the car, so it was dangerous to move the vehicle from the place where the underground monsters popped out.
The amount of loss caused by that was also negligible, so he left the car for porters to carry the monster corpses and moved on foot.
The hunting team formed a formation and moved forward, vigilant about their surroundings.
At first, everyone was nervous and vigilant, but the sun-heated geothermal heat rose, and the air was dry and the scenery was not changing, so it quickly loosened up.
While everyone was half-drowsy, the only thing excited was Lee Jeong-yeon from the investigation team.
The hunters all had a sad expression on their faces, but Jeongyeon Lee showed admiration for everything.
“Oh my God! Look at these shiny stones! If you mine this and sell it, you will make a lot of money, right?”
Peter Jang answered Lee Jeong-yeon’s question.
“If you let the monsters mine, it will be difficult for the hunters to keep chasing them while mining, so it will be difficult for any profitability.”
“It’s a stone that is second to jewels, but it doesn’t make a lot of money?”
“As you know, these special minerals are becoming more common these days due to dungeon development. Even if the price is set high, there is a limit to the purchasing power of ordinary people. The real money is a mysterious metal. It’s not high.”
“It’s also difficult to get permission from the government. As you know, the government is focused on collecting taxes from hunters. It’s also difficult to guarantee the safety of unidentified minerals mined in another world.”
While talking, Peter Chang realized that Jeongyeon Lee was under the government and kept his mouth shut.
Lee Jeong-yeon didn’t really care.
She looked around, wondering when the monster would come out.
As time passed, the curious Lee Jeong-yeon’s attention was finally distracted.
It’s been four hours since I started walking.
Not a single mouse could be seen in the vast meadow, let alone monsters.
Jeongyeon Lee showed a slight disappointment.
“Why don’t the monsters appear?”
“Thanks to the huge size of this dungeon. It takes several days to find a boss mob to attack the dungeon. It’s fortunate that the break period is rather long.”
“That’s right. It hasn’t been formalized yet, but there is a story that the larger the size of the dungeon, and the higher the difficulty, the longer the term.”
“Our hunters think so too.”
At that time, Peter Chang and Lee Jeong-yeon were chatting and walking.
Suddenly, Kim Si-on raised his hand.
The Foreign Legion was the first to reflexively stop, and at the same time, Peter Chang and the Cheongunmanma raid members also stopped.
When Peter Chang made a questioning question with a puzzled expression, Kim Si-on raised his index finger in front of his lips.
Then he knelt down on one knee and looked at the ground.
Peter Chang, unable to contain his curiosity, asked a question.
Instead of answering, Kim Si-on showed off his abilities.
“Expansion.”
With her mouth open, she focused her mind.
In fact, there was not much meaning in this starting word.
Does it have any meaning for Jeong Dae-sik, who buys skills by using sage?
Ordinary Awakeneds only demonstrate their skills through their own abilities and training, so there was no need to shout out something in a battle situation.
Nevertheless, the act of calling out a specific name for one’s ability, such as a skill starting word, was not for oneself, but for a comrade fighting with one another.
By calling the skill command in a chaotic combat situation, you can help your allies dodge in the attack range and easily guess what will happen next, so you can decide the course of action.
Of course, to some extent, it was also for himself.
It is a well-known fact that there is a marked difference in the concentration in displaying one’s abilities when shouting the start-up word and not.
Therefore, even now, not in a battle situation, Kim Si-on was demonstrating his abilities and reciting technical commands.
Soon she opened her eyes and muttered.
“coming.”
There was no need to ask what was coming.
It was because he could feel the fact that the ground was shaking as soon as Kim Si-on stopped talking.
The small vibration soon turned into a huge reverberation like an earthquake.
Since the Cheongun Manma attack team shared the data obtained through the preliminary investigation, the Foreign Legion already knew what the sound was.
Doo doo doo doo doo doo!
Peter Chang cried out in thought.
“Come! Crazy Buffalo is coming!”
A monster you might call a crazy cow.
They were coming from the other end of the horizon like an unprecedented disaster.
Seeing that, the face of the hunting team turned pale.
After all, as the first hitter, you will encounter a swarm of monsters that are said to be the most ferocious in this dungeon!
Crazy buffalo swarms were not very likely to appear.
It was because the size of the dungeon was so vast.
Therefore, no one could say that the hunting team was lucky.
Rather, it would be appropriate to say that there was a bad luck.
But no one spoke those words out.
No, I couldn’t upload it.
The order was issued out of breath, without a single word of complaint.
“The dealers surround the investigation team, the buffer, and the healer in the middle! The tanks defend the outermost part! Chae-Woon Shin! Go to the front! Buffers use their full powers!”
The Foreign Legion had to follow Peter Jang’s instructions until Kim Si-on gave the order, so the crew moved quickly.
As dealers surrounded non-combat personnel, tanks stood on the outskirts like a wall.
Then, in front of the tanks, a shield like a transparent shield was actually formed.
A regular hexagonal shield like a tortoise shell encircled them tightly.
It was probably the ability of the Thousand-Thousand-Thousand Horse Raid Buffers.
Doo doo doo doo doo!
The appearance of a herd of crazy buffalo approaching at a frightening speed gradually took shape.
He was running with a force that made him want to run away to somewhere at any moment, but it was impossible to dodge, as Peter Chang’s command proved.
The horizon was already covered in mist, so the only way to avoid them was to fly up into the sky.
And such means did not exist in the hunting team.
Instead of looking up into the air in vain, the hunting team prepared for the first crash.
The Crazy Buffalo Swarm, as you can guess from its name, was a monster that looked like a buffalo.
However, it is usually over twice the size of a buffalo.
According to the classification of monsters, the Crazy Buffalo was a medium-sized monster, but the horse is medium-sized and the size is the size of a container.
Moreover, hundreds of thousands of them are flocking to each other.
It’s an attack that is no different than a meteor shower pouring down like a torrential rain.
Above all, they had exceptionally long, hard horns.
Its forehead was surrounded by outer armor like some armored car, and its horns were bent forward like an elephant’s molars, and if it was pierced there, it would be instant death.
In addition, the hooves supporting the heavy body were too ferocious to be described as hooves.
The tip of the hoof was bent forward like a horse’s hoof that had not been cut, and when the hoof flew, it was like a javelin.
Naturally, the Crazy Buffalo’s body is made up of muscle mass.
The power the body created was also explosive.
If that muscle strikes a person with its hooves with the force that spurs the ground, it has the same effect as being hit by a train.
I’d say it’s a heavy machine that really runs rampant.
I got goosebumps as a swarm of such crazy buffaloes came rushing in, forming dark clouds of dust.
The ground shook to the extent that it was difficult to stand on my feet properly, and the aftermath of the storm covered the sky in thick darkness, darkening everywhere.
The hunter who is facing these guys in front doesn’t know, but his stomach ache.
But, strangely enough, that tank of Cheongun Manma, called Shin Chae-woon, was holding an umbrella in his hand.
For a moment, Jeong Dae-sik doubted his eyes.
Yes, it was definitely an umbrella.
Although the umbrella spokes and handle were made of shiny metal, and there were subtle scale patterns on the membrane, the umbrella was an umbrella anyway.
Are you going to use something like that to stop a herd of crazy buffalo?
It was a bit odd.
Nevertheless, there was no fear in Shin Chae-woon’s eyes.
There was only a little bit of embarrassment.
Rather, Jeong Dae-shik looked at him and was nervous.
The first encounter with the Crazy Buffalo took place.
Of course, it could not be said that the atmosphere was very friendly.
But it was dramatic.
The ones running from the front of the Crazy Buffalo herd looked bigger than the ones behind them.
It seemed that it would be unreasonable to call them large bells.
Those monsters did not care even after discovering the hunters blocking their way.
It was like looking at rubble that had been thrown away here and there.
That is why he recklessly trampled on the Hunters and raised his hooves to pass.
Tuquaaang!
In the next moment, something amazing happened.
The umbrella Shin Chae-Woon was holding bounced off the Crazy Buffalo who was running ahead!
Kuah!
It made a roar similar to the sound of a bomb exploding, and it flew through the air with the same momentum it had been running.
The Crazy Buffalo fell backwards and was soon trampled by other Crazy Buffaloes that came in waves and disappeared.
It was the same with those who came one after another.
The Crazy Buffalo could not penetrate Shin Chae-Woon’s umbrella and were thrown into the air one after another as if they had been hit by a steel wall at full speed.
Kuwaan! Wow! Bang!
There was a huge noise, and Shin Chae-woon clenched his teeth and held an umbrella.
But there are hundreds of thousands of them.
It’s like a siege weight knocking on a tightly closed gate in succession.
