Episode 375 Treasure Hunter (3)
The Guardian of the Green Coal Mine, King Slime.
If you eat it, it is an essence that can be used well until the middle.
Well, even with me, none of us can eat this essence… … .
He didn’t even come out in the first place.
「You have defeated the King Slime. EXP +4”
「Guardian kill bonus. EXP +3”
As I watched the king slime disappear as a group of lights, my taste buds bitterly.
“Wow, nothing really pops up?”
Since it’s the essence, I wanted to mention even a numbered item.
How come the rift stone doesn’t open?
The individual drop rate would be 33.3%… … .
‘… Come to think of it, not even a single essence came out on the way here.’
Actually, I was expecting a little bit.
At the end, I wondered if the Guardian would spit out a decent numbered item.
“Still, didn’t a single essence come out?”
At Amelia’s words that seemed to soothe me, a smirk came out.
what essence is that? It’s just garbage.
Grade 9 monster, slime.
When eaten, physical values such as bone strength, physical resistance, muscle strength, and agility decrease, and only stats with low combat value such as poison resistance, intuition, and digestibility are attached in a pile.
But the skills are just that.
It can be useful depending on the situation, but… … .
In general, it is not worth taking that penalty, so it is considered the worst integer among the 9 ranks.
Oh, by the way, Jungsoo caught those who came out as junk mobs while hunting king slimes and came out.
‘Zeep, when something like this comes out, it shouldn’t come out at all.’
Then, there will still be hope that the jackpot will hit next time.
“Uncle, there is a portal over there! Are you leaving right away?”
“Of course.”
I led my companions to the portal.
There was no hesitation in walking at all. The name is cracked, but what came out was one slime essence.
What the heck, what’s this room?
“You have entered the Crystal Cave on the first floor.”
let’s get out
Wait a little longer and get bad luck. After breaking the crack, it was relentless.
Now that there is nothing to do on the lower floor, we headed upstairs, and on the 26th we reached the target floor.
“I entered the Great Ocean on the 6th floor”
Raimia, the island of beginnings.
It was never as crowded with explorers and soldiers as the last time I came. And the same goes for the warships that filled the coastline.
The expeditionary force headed for the Dark Continent was a natural thing to start on the 25th day.
In fact, that’s why I intentionally arrived a day late.
“Come on, let’s go to the beach.”
There was no reason to waste time on an empty island, so I went straight to the beach.
And he took out the ship that was in the subspace.
It was different from the previous ships, which had no sails and had to row, in appearance.
‘Keep, that’s enough to call it a boat.’
A vessel with a size and shape similar to that of a fishing boat commonly seen in Korea.
A large square sail is located in the center of the ship, and a magic propulsion device is also attached to the lower part of the rear, so if you insert a magic stone, you can increase the speed quickly when you are in a hurry.
Simply put, it means that if you have enough magic stones, you can cross the windless area.
‘Actually, I wonder if I’ll ever be able to go to a windless zone without a navigator, but… … .’
Soon after all three of us got into the boat, Amelia swallowed her saliva and stood at the helm of the boat.
But was it a little ugly?
Erwen cautiously expressed his anxiety.
“By the way, I’m not even a navigator, can that woman drive this ship properly… … ?”
“He said that he had experience driving a small boat in the past, so it would be much better than me, who only had experience of rowing. Some say they learned the basics of how to operate a ship while buying it.”
“Hmm… … .”
“Is that right, Amelia?”
“… don’t talk Because I am thinking.”
“… … .”
Write, is this suddenly becoming unsettling?
Amelia, who was holding the rudder of the ship and had a serious expression on her face whether it was a simulation in her head, began to give orders in earnest.
“First… You have to paddle off the island. That way we could ride the wind.”
“there was… … ?”
“If you are dissatisfied, you must—”
“No, no. Do what you are told.”
“… … .”
Instead of telling Amelia, who was a novice, to wrap her up and let her go, she faithfully followed the instructions.
Of course, I had no intention of rowing hard.
Why did you pay so much money to buy this ship?
Slurry-!
When the magic stone was inserted into the tube connected to the magic propulsion device, the ship began to go forward.
“… 👌👌”
Amelia seemed to be surprised by the faster speed than expected, but she quickly regained her composure and turned the key to change direction.
and… … .
“Gee, it’s now! sail! Unfold the sails!”
When the sails were opened, the ship moved forward with the wind in earnest.
Whoops, yes, somehow it works.
“What direction?”
“Don’t worry, we’re heading east.”
“is it… … .”
Amelia exhaled as if relieved at my words.
In the meantime, both hands were holding the key tightly.
It looked a little fresh.
How can a kid who doesn’t even move his eyes when he kills people get so nervous about things like this?
“I see it slowly.”
After sailing eastward for about 15 minutes, the island was visible at the edge of the horizon.
Gurkha Island is the closest to the starting point after Farune Island in the west, where he fought a blood battle with Stormgash.
In fact, there was no reason to visit this island.
The monsters from this island are of low grade, and all of them appear on the lower floors.
The supply and demand of experience points was all over.
However… … .
‘I can’t help it because there’s no sailor on the ship.’
With our navigation techniques, it was almost impossible to go straight to the desired destination, so we had no choice but to go to each island one by one. Well, there were other reasons as well.
“… Uncle, are you okay?”
“… … .”
Whoops, this damn seasick.
It certainly seems to be a little better than before, but it’s still hard to bear because of my stomach churning.
“Suits, if you’re tired, you can take a break and start.”
“Please.”
After anchoring the boat on the shore, we had a short break.
Still, the good thing about Barbarian’s body was this.
Even if the motion sickness is severe, it gets better in 10 minutes.
“Come on, let’s set sail again.”
After recovering his condition, he went through a series of procedures again and started sailing.
The next destination is the second island of the eastern route, Anos.
“It will take about three hours by boat, can you get there?”
“… Don’t worry. Because I said that we should just keep going in the northeast direction.”
“Who is it?”
“… in the book.”
Erwen, who had never participated in such a fist-fighting voyage, showed an uneasy face this time as well.
However, Amelia seemed to be quite good at sailing, and after about three hours, an island appeared in the distance.
Amelia clenched her fists.
“I found it right.”
“But why is the island seen from the east and not from the front?”
“… That is within the margin of error.”
Cancer, this is within the margin of error.
Soon Amelia turned the bow, and soon we arrived at Anos Island.
Unlike Gurkha Island, which I skipped, this island had a business.
There are no hidden pieces or hidden treasures, but you must obtain experience points that have not been obtained yet.
Also, it’s late, so I’m going to spend the night here.
But before that… … .
“Wah hey hey-!”
Let’s empty our stomach first.
「You have killed the Raffle Monkey. EXP +3”
「You have killed War Snake. EXP +4”
「You have defeated Nigel Fencer. EXP +4”
「You have defeated Belgaro. EXP +5”
「I defeated the Black Tree… … .”
“… … .”
Anos Island, where 99% of the island, excluding the coast, has jungle terrain.
First, we camped at the beach for one night and started exploring in earnest the next day.
When I finished supplying all the experience points all the way around the island, it was getting dark again, so I had to camp for one more night.
‘Zep, I thought I could catch them all and go to the next island in half a day.’
The reason the schedule was twisted was the last monster hunted. I went all over the island and couldn’t find it, so I had to search for it until nightfall.
“Mister, aren’t the stars so pretty—”
Rumble—!
“You are sleeping… … .”
So, after resting one more night, the next morning, we departed early and headed to the next island, and this time, fortunately, we arrived at the next island properly.
And the process continues… … .
“It’s already the seventh island.”
“Isn’t your name Fione Island?”
We reached the seventh island of the eastern route in ten days.
To be honest, it was pretty surprising.
It was like coming here with a navigator who only knew how to move forward, stop, and park.
‘I thought there might be a thing that I overlooked at least once.’
Is driving a boat easier than you think?
With that in mind, these days, Amelia is learning one by one while watching the process of driving the ship.
Seasickness is slowly getting used to.
“Wow, as I heard, the island is so pretty.”
“Erwen, are you here for the first time?”
“yes. I usually go too far.”
“Well, if you’re unlucky, it’s just a waste of time.”
The seventh island of the eastern route, Fione.
It is often referred to as Treasure Island among explorers.
Compared to the islands with mountains in the center, the ground is flat, and the area is small enough to go around the island in about 3 hours.
By the way, only one type of level 4 monster appears here… … .
“Are you going to pass by here too?”
“The day is slowly going down, so I only stayed for one night.”
Hearing my answer, Erwen was somewhat happy.
Well, it’s safe to say that there are no monsters on the island itself.
If you meet a monster, you can think of it as winning the lottery.
“mister! There’s quite a bit of time left until the night, so let’s take a look around the island together! yes?”
“… That’s enough.”
“It can be dangerous, so I go with you.”
After getting off the island, I put the ship into the subspace and went around to learn the terrain.
🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
The cool sea breeze caressing your body.
A wide open field and colorful flower fields full of it.
“Not bad.”
Unknowingly, when I let my emotions come out of my mouth, Erwen smiled bashfully as if she agreed.
“Huhu, right?”
“Yeah, it’s open on all sides, so if a predator approaches while you’re sleeping, you’ll be able to spot it easily.”
“… … yes?”
Erwen tilted her head as if she did not understand for a moment, but this part was important.
Because this island is not called Treasure Island for nothing.
Even if most of the top explorers participated in the war and went to the 7th floor, the chance that there are no explorers on this island is close to zero.
Because this island is the only place where you can get Numbers items except for cracks.
“Since the reconnaissance is over, let’s set up the camp over there. There’s a place I’ve seen before.”
“Ah, yes… … .”
As everyone is one hundred and twenty seasoned explorers, the preparations for the camp were quickly over again this time, and we set aside Amelia’s alter ego and went to sleep.
and how much has passed
“Suits, get up.”
Amelia shook me to wake me up.
Rubbing her sleepy eyes and checking the surroundings, Erwen also got up and took out a bow.
There was only one case that came to mind.
It would make a lot more sense than meeting monsters on this island.
“How many?”
I omitted unnecessary conversation and asked only the information to be confirmed, and Amelia also gave a short answer.
“fifteen.”
“On a clan basis.”
At night, an uninvited visitor came.
