141 – Super Regeneration (1)
Elena shouted, holding her red forehead.
“Why are you hitting me!”
“I’m sorry. My forehead looked too sticky. I stopped without realizing it.”
“It’s too much!”
Elena pouting her lips.
Ian looked beyond.
As expected, there are no monsters following.
“Why on earth are you running?”
“Of course, first place…”
“How can you be first when I am there?”
“Brother, you are like a high priest! You are an exception in the ranking calculation. Hehe. With this, I also beat sisters Danya and Lina and took the second place…”
Elena chuckled and laughed.
That is, until Lina and Danya, who were in her blind spot, stood up.
“Is Elena here?”
Looking at them, Elena fell into despair.
“How can this be… I’m in last place? I obviously ran hard.”
The forest called Danya is actually my hometown.
Lina learned the forest to make a living.
It is a talent that cannot be matched in the first place.
Ian pushed Elena’s sullen back.
“Anyway, welcome. Let’s leave.”
Ian led the group towards the bottom of the dragon rock.
At first glance, Danya’s condition appears normal.
Does Lina have a talent for healing?
Except for sneaking away every time she makes eye contact, Danya has become alert again.
At that time.
Danya suddenly twitched her nose.
“… I smell something unusual.”
Danya pointed to a place with her hand.
It was a huge entrance underneath the dragon rock.
As she approached the entrance, her scent became stronger.
The identity of the smell was the terrible smell of blood.
The entrance to the cave we arrived at.
Has a huge monster passed by?
Like the entrance to a huge underground parking lot, the entrance, which was gently curved in a spiral, made a big half-turn and headed underground.
“Really… I think I could fit into a house…”
Danya’s mumbling aroused the group’s sense of fear.
Danya, Elena, and Lina hesitate for a moment.
Ian walked down the cave entrance without hesitation.
Then he squatted down on one side.
Long grasses lay in front of Ian.
Ian removed a leaf from a pile of grass.
Then he rolled it up.
“What are you doing, brother?”
Elena, who followed carefully, asked.
“I’ll show you. I need fire…”
“Hehehe. Is it really a cigarette? Or a strange leaf that makes you feel good?! A part of me may be right in thinking that your brother is a little out of order…!”
Kong.
While Elena, who had her honey balm on her forehead, grabbed her forehead.
“Lina. Can you light a fire here?”
“Ah…Yes!”
“You just need to put it on lightly. Like lighting a cigarette.”
“I… I don’t smoke.”
“I’m sorry. Like lighting a candle.”
“I understand. Ifrit, can you help me?”
A small flame burst out from the tips of Lina’s fingers.
Ian held a leaf to the flame.
– Whiik!
Thrown it forward.
“Everyone, step back a little.”
I am at a loss for words.
—Chajajajajajaja!
The leaves burned and made a tremendous crackling sound.
A straight line of fireworks engraved in the air.
It burned, leaving a long, straight trace, like a sword trying to cut through space.
After all the flames have disappeared.
Numerous long, deep traces in the shape of a ‘1’ carved into the soil.
Lina asked as a representative among the embarrassed children.
“What, what is this?”
“It’s called a fireweed. It’s a plant that has the special effect of burning like a long tear when it reacts with fire.”
Igniting herb.
In the game, if you light this on fire, you can receive the same judgment as cutting it with a sword.
A very useful plant when dealing with boss mobs from a distance.
The meaning of this being at the entrance to the cave is simple.
From Noble mtl dot com
They say this is necessary to attack the monsters inside.
” Danya. Can you attach this to an arrow and shoot it?”
The moment when Ian was about to put the burning candle in Danya’s hand.
“Hi!”
Danya was scared and avoided Ian’s hand.
Then she put her hands together and very carefully took the leaf.
‘Why is it like that?’
While Ian narrowed his eyes at her.
Danya blushed and averted her gaze and summoned her magic bow.
“Fu, you can attach grass attribute items and shoot them.”
Just as she said, the leaves on the arrow fly stably and get stuck.
Looking at that, Lina was appalled and applauded.
“Then I can light the fire after that?”
“Yes.”
Ian smiled with satisfaction.
Now, when everyone pretends, they pretend to understand.
Children grow one step at a time every time you take them with you.
It was different from games where the level of growth was directly displayed in numbers. Rather, experiencing moments like these felt even more valuable.
After all, we are nurturing promising talent with this taste.
I’d like to pat everyone on the head… But let’s leave that for later.
Finish.
“Brother! Back!”
A huge black curtain was coming this way.
This means that the devastation has begun in earnest.
“Let’s go inside quickly.”
◆
The inside of the cave was dark and humid.
Let’s take a moment to walk along Lina’s flame magic that softly lights up her surroundings.
“Now, wait a minute. Everyone, stop.”
Jeobbuk.
The sound of the four pairs of footsteps stopped in an instant.
Knock, knock.
A quiet silence where only the sound of falling water drops can be heard.
In it.
I began to feel the cave shaking.
— Kuung
— Boom
A sound that repeats and gradually becomes louder.
— Coo!
— Boom!
The approaching sound stopped for an instant.
Elena’s face turned pale.
Danya and Lina looked around with quite nervous faces.
— Tsuzzzz!
A horrifying sound is heard, like a snake sticking out its tongue.
And the vibration started again.
Kugugugugung Palace.
The cave shook violently, and stone dust poured down from the ceiling.
Finally.
A huge creature appeared with harsh vibrations shaking in all directions.
Everyone stopped moving and observed the overwhelming shape.
The head resembles a snake. The body was a monster in the shape of a Komodo lizard.
Black epidermis covered with smooth, sticky scales.
Y-shaped tongue that flicks.
Flashing bright yellow eyes.
It would be enough to say that the presence this guy gave off was like that of a dragon.
Ian knew its identity.
‘Level 4 dangerous species, Gergos.’
Level 4 dangerous species refers to monsters that can endanger a medium-sized city just by appearing.
In short, it is a named monster.
Crush!
It sticks out its tongue and makes an unpleasant sound.
Long, slit-yellow eyes scan the surroundings.
Only then did a small scream echo around the area.
“I… Ian.”
“What is that?”
“Oh my God.”
The children, frozen in white, were shaking and holding their respective weapons.
It’s scary.
“Everyone, come to your senses and prepare!”
Ian woke them up.
◆
Meanwhile.
The sunset was slowly setting on the ground.
6 Hours after the promotion match started.
No matter how well-bred the students are, they are ultimately cadets at a prestigious academy called Lichten.
Everyone was slowly getting used to this nature.
Even the children who didn’t have a team soon formed a party, and everyone started moving to survive.
Their destinations are all in the center of the island.
A huge curtain of devastation could be seen approaching from the outskirts of the island.
“Ah. I’m hungry!”
The problem wasn’t just the tent.
Hunger becomes more intense as time passes.
Although most children brought emergency food, it was at most one day’s worth.
The problem of securing food begins to be felt when one becomes hungry.
There was no problem until hunting animals, but the problem became after that. For them, hunting is simply a hobby. They didn’t know how to process them into an edible state.
“How should I groom the cow?”
“Ugh… My guts are disgusting…”
Fortunately, the situation was good for parties with students who were commoners or hunters.
But their numbers were quite small.
Even if I got that lucky.
“… Still, it hurts to eat such a cute rabbit.”
There were still many cadets who had sagging psychological barriers.
In the end.
Everyone’s eyes were focused on one place.
[ Supply base ]
This is the place that the professors explained along with a map before the start of the promotion match.
“They said you can definitely get food if you go there.”
“The same goes for sleeping. It will get cold at night.”
A convenient place where you can find both a place to sleep and food.
Among them, the only base on the path toward the center was the ‘Rock Base’.
Children began to flock there, even though they knew it could be dangerous due to the influx of competitors.
“Stop.”
A huge body measuring well over 2 meters.
He took off his top as if he didn’t care about what others thought.
That’s why his incredible muscles are revealed.
Deputy Dean of the Department of Engineers, Victor Yan.
Descendants of barbarians.
Even so, the rumors about him being a sinister person added to the fear in his voice.
“What, what’s going on?”
“1 Coin per person to pass.”
“Koh, you want a coin?”
“Are you dissatisfied?”
Thud.
Seeing Victor Yan bending roughly from side to side, the cadets hurriedly summoned coins from their bracelets one by one and held them out.
The coin is soon absorbed into Victor Yan’s bracelet and disappears.
“Please pass by.”
“Thank you.”
Clock the passage leading to the base.
And collect the toll tax.
Just enough so that the cadets don’t gather together and rebel.
In this way, the coins collected by Victor and his party here were over 2000 coins.
“Winning is certain. It’s just boring.”
Victor frowned, looked back and asked.
“When on earth will that guy Ian pass by, Emilia?”
In response to Victor’s question, Emilia, who had been hiding in the dark, appeared.
“Wait a little longer. There is no other way to get to the center of the island than this way.”
