In Xenia’s case, the injury or blood loss itself wasn’t enough to kill her right away.
However, this woman is bleeding heavily, as if her femoral artery had been severed.
‘I can’t even last 30 seconds, let alone 1 minute.’
Blood is gushing out of his thigh.
There was no time to check and do anything.

Mentis predators are not statically venomous individuals.
It is said that the characteristics of each object are slightly different as the area where they appear is different.
‘Let’s try using a potion.’
Do-jin decided to gamble.
Decided to use a healing potion on a fallen woman.
When he made his decision, he was already spraying the potion on his wounds.
The entire bottle of potion was poured onto the thigh that the Mantis Predator had torn apart.
‘Bleeding is caught.’
Fortunately, the wound healed and the bleeding was reduced.
As soon as Do-jin saw that the potion was effective, he also sprayed it on the amputated arm and fed it himself.
“Ugh… Moak… … !”
With Do-jin’s first aid, Mer’s condition improved.
The shock caused by the blood loss made me insane, but to the point where I didn’t die right away.
Do-jin tied Mer’s body as if wrapping a gift with a rope as she stretched out her hand while looking at her dead friend.
“Let’s move it to the oyster.”
Anemone made a handle to make it easier to carry.
Guided by the handle that was stably draped over its large mouth, Merga hung on delongedly.
Dojin and Anemone took the surviving girl and returned to the den.
“Me, Mer!”
Then, Bill, who was pressing on Xenia’s abdomen, is startled.
It was a natural reaction since Mer, a swordsmanship student like himself, was brought in with serious injuries.
“don’t worry. Even if it looks very serious from the outside, you don’t have to worry about dying right away.”
Anemone put the unconscious Mer down next to Bill.
Bill looked at Mer with his arm cut off and then moved his gaze to Dojin.
“Only one in 15 minutes… sh*t, I wish I had found one before he died.”
He seemed to regret not being able to save more.
Tired eyes look out of the burrow.
It’s like going out to save someone else without even breathing.
When Bill saw Do-jin like that, it felt like something jumped out of his chest.
“You are well guarded. The only thing that’s fine is you. got it?”
Suddenly looking at himself, Bill was startled by what Do-jin said.
“Yes, yes!”
I got the answer right though.
Although I stuttered.
‘thank god… … .’
For some reason, Bill didn’t want to look ugly to this adventurer anymore.
“Then quietly hide. It comes and goes.”
Do-jin went out of the burrow with Anemone.
Bill Licht sighs lightly as he sees Dojin disappearing as if melting into the darkness.
At that time, Xenia, who was also looking at Dojin, murmured.
“Come to think of it… Since when has that person been talking dirty to me?”
It was so natural that Xenia, who finally noticed it, was just dumbfounded.
To be so rude in front of the name Bondray.
‘This is my first time seeing such a person… … .’
in many ways.
* * *
Dojin and Anemone did their best to save the students.
Did that kind of effort work?
Fortunately, two groups of students who did not encounter the monster were able to shelter in the den with a total of four students.
Then it was time to resume the search.
Anemone, with her nose and ears pricked up, spoke urgently.
【Jin, it looks like someone is fighting. I can hear the smell of blood and the sound of fighting.]
“Which one?”
【get on!】
Anemone says it’s not a waste of time to explain.
Dojin clung to the back of the anemone and grabbed the mane hair.
It doesn’t look good, but if you want to ride an anemone without a saddle, there was no other option than this position.
【Hold tight!】
Anemones ran through the mountains.
It wasn’t long before a male student was seen doing battle against two Mantis Predators.
Protecting the injured member, and fighting a two-on-one battle, sweating.
“Let’s deal with it from the right!”
【Confirm.】
Anemone momentarily slowed down.
In response, Do-jin jumped down, and the anemone that put Do-jin down accelerated again-
pug.
I took a picture of the antenna of the target that I agreed with Dojin.

Mantis Predator trembles and twitches all over at the attack with the power contained in full-speed sprint.
It was a testament to how shocking and painful it was.
The anemone, seeing an enemy suffering from convulsions and paralysis for a moment, jumped to the side.
《Fire Spear》
Then, the flame spear that arrived at the right timing from behind her hit the Mantis Predator.
The Mantis Predator, whose vital part was sniped with a pinpoint, met its end by being alternately hit by continuous attacks from Anemone and Dojin.
While Dojin and Anemone were killing one, the other one was also taken care of by the fighting male student.
‘It wasn’t enough to hold out against two, so he killed one right away as soon as he could afford it?’
Do-jin, who watched the situation from afar, shone in his eyes.
The male student, who was panting while holding a sword with the body fluids of the Mantis Predator, quickly approached his teammates as if he had forgotten both the Silver Wolf and Dojin.
“Are you okay?”
“Okay, it’s okay… Ugh!”
“Wait a minute, get the healing potion now-”
chin.
Do-jin stopped him.
A boy looking back in surprise.
Do-jin said to him.
“Wait for a moment. Some of the mantids have venom that makes their healing effects counterproductive. You have to check it before you use the potion.”
At the word poison, the boy’s face turned serious.
‘The fighting power is usable, but I still lack experience.’
Do-jin, who made the hesitant student stand aside, looked at the female student with stab wounds on her side and calf.
Unlike the long torn robe, the cut inside was not deep. Seeing that blood doesn’t change like jelly, at least it doesn’t seem to be poisoned like Xenia.
“Fortunately, I don’t seem to have been poisoned. We just need to give first aid and move quickly.”
The male student, relieved to hear that it was not poison, used the healing potion on the female student.
“But you… … ?”
“Escort Bill Licht.”
“ah… … ! So maybe Bill… … ?”
“Questions later. follow me at once Walk as lightly as possible. Those mantises have virtually no other senses, but they can sense the vibrations of their prey walking and jumping wonderfully.”
“sorry. I wasted my time in the middle of enemy lines… … .”
“Apologize later. Say thank you later. you wake up You should have recovered enough to walk, but why aren’t you getting up?”
Do-jin, who mastered the boy and girl, returned to the cave with the two.
“day off!”
A number of students, including Bill, were delighted to see the boy who joined.
‘As expected, he was a popular guy.’
The ability to hold out against two Mantis Predators.
An overly handsome face and eyes that seemed to be kind and righteous.
He was just like the likable chief character that appears in typical academy movies.
Huey, who confirmed each other’s safety with a warm atmosphere, approached Dojin and bowed his head.
“My name is Hugh, a second year student at the Imperial Academy Swordsmanship Department. Thank you so much for saving me and my crew.”
Ooh, it’s embarrassing. Dojin received a thank you with a shy expression.
Then I thought.
‘I’m a sophomore at the academy while introducing myself. And he didn’t even reveal his last name.’
Then you’re a commoner.
He entered the academy while being a commoner, and he was perfect in terms of his skills, appearance, personality, and friendships… … .
‘Huh. It would be fine if I memorized the name.’
I don’t know when it will volatilize.
It was when Do-jin, who shook off his thoughts and poured a bowl of mana potion into his mouth, was about to go out again.
“I will help too.”
Huey tried to follow Dojin.
“I am guarding here. Because there must be a proper force to protect the base.”
However, Do-jin refused and at the same time got on the anemone and ran out.
* * *
Seeing the horribly devoured corpse, Do-jin clenched his fists.
‘I’ve already seen seven people… … .’
Only seven corpses were visually confirmed.
In fact, at this level, almost no students survived.
‘Still, I’ll have to look for it until I find it.’
Nevertheless, Do-jin decided to wander the mountain more.
Because I don’t know if there’s someone alive somewhere.
But even that soon reached its limits.
【Jin, you can’t attack that guy. I think there are a few more around. If you fight here, they will keep coming.]
This was because as the number of Mantis Predators increased, the anemone’s evasion maneuvers using its sense of smell and hearing gradually lost its power.
‘When the hell are you going to be stable, you f*cking crack bastard.’
It was time for Do-jin to stare at the dark blue mana pillars emitted by the cracks in the distance.
【Jin, it’s strange. The smell of bugs is coming in one direction. Until now, I’ve been moving around on my own.]
“One way?”
To Dojin’s question, instead of answering, the anemone ran around and smelled it.
Just like inferring information from the smell of the wind.
At the end, Anemone spoke in a voice full of anxiety.
【… It’s the oyster side where the kids are. It definitely seems to be moving in that direction.]
Dojin’s face hardened.
‘Nonsense. This place is pretty far from the den. But how could they be driven in the direction of the cave?’
They wouldn’t move unless there was vibration from their prey within a certain range.
‘no way.’
A possibility flashed through Dojin’s mind.
No, rather than a possibility, it was information about a species called the Mentis Predator that had been forgotten.
‘It’s a female.’
An elite monster that leads the Mantis Predators.
The female Mentis Predator has the ability to summon nearby males with vibrations and use her limbs to seduce them.
‘It’s unlikely that the kids who are still hiding will be found. No, even if they were found, they wouldn’t be flocking there from far away.’
Unfortunately, the female must have appeared nearby.
“Anemone, let’s go back!”
In any case, it was clear that things were getting worse.
* * *
Returning to the cave, Dojin was convinced.
that there is a female nearby.
‘If we keep going like this, the males who have been ordered to search for food by the females will start to search the surroundings.’
Then, the probability of finding an oyster was high.
A battle will become inevitable, and this will generate an inevitable strong vibration.
‘… A Mantis Predator wave in this situation?’
Assuming the worst, I really felt like letting go of everything.
‘I have to go see the kids anyway.’
Dojin returned to the cave.
The eyes of the students gathered at once to such Do-jin.
I could see the faces of children who were young, no, just openly.
Dojin’s expression was not visible in the eyes of the students.
Only a silhouette could be seen by relying on the moonlight.
However, Dojin was different.
In Dojin’s eyes, the terrified students’ faces were vividly visible.
‘You want to put it down?’
f*ck. What do you put down when you see those eyes?
Akmun Dojin said this to the eight Imperial Academy students.
“If you want to live and see Mom and Dad again, listen carefully.”
