Rain Soaked Forest (3)
“Kyaaa!”
At that time, in the distance, his two sisters, Yuina and Yumi, could be seen being swept away by the strong force and the current flowing downstream.
What are the two sisters having so much fun about?
While being swept away by the water, he was giggling and laughing out loud.
Looking at that bright expression, no face was frightened or threatened with death.
“Haaang!”
With half of their bodies submerged in the mighty water.
The upper body turns round and round and gets swept away.
It was an absurd sight, like a grown-up girl riding a rollercoaster.
Kyeo-gyeol thought of the two sisters walking away while screaming.
‘Well, a flood like this shouldn’t be a big threat to us.’
No matter what you say, they were a group of werewolves, predators of the upper ranks, who excelled in the strength of their bodies even among monsters.
The flooding of a lake like this is a threat to normal humans, but not to them.
Winter turned his head again and began to focus on exploring the surroundings.
His fur was completely soaked with ocher-colored muddy water.
He seemed completely unconcerned.
Rather, he was engrossed in exploring something with a little excitement, wagging his tail.
Sniff sniff. Sniff sniff.
Winter sniffed his nose, searching for something.
Sometimes he put his nose near a thick wooden beam and sniffed it.
In one case, I put my head under the muddy water and looked around.
‘Umm-.’
He narrowed his eyes.
‘Where are you?’
If it’s as guided by her mother Yuhwarin.
This was the site of the bloody battle where Yoo Yu-rin and Misoah fought alongside Giant Mantis the other day.
‘If that’s the case, his corpse must also be around here, somewhere.’
I can’t find it at all.
No matter how hard he was, he had a little difficulty searching this time.
In winter, his sensitive sense of smell and all his beards were used to search, but nothing was caught.
Of course, the reason was simple.
‘All I can smell around me is the horribly musty fishy smell of muddy water. Even the smell of the blood shed the night before has been completely washed away by the rain, so I can’t find any clues.’
Shoot!
It’s raining hard even at this moment.
Moreover, the river is increasing even more.
That is also in the present progressive tense.
So it was only natural that the search for Giant Mantis’ body would become more and more difficult as time passed.
Actually, Yuhwarin’s mother was the same.
Even though her winter asked her, she just shook her head saying she didn’t know either.
Yuhwa Lin Also, her sense of smell doesn’t work as if it were paralyzed only here.
What’s more, even if you try to recall, their battle lasted until the middle of the night, so you won’t be able to remember where the corpse is.
It sucks.
Winter seasoned his appetite.
‘Should I just give up?’
No wonder his mother Yuhwarin didn’t want him to be here anymore.
She had been directing her gaze the moment before.
‘Going back, wanting. Danger here. Danger of enemy appearance.’
This is a natural result.
Even at this moment, the environment continues to change along with the pouring rain, and the change was quite drastic.
In fact, I witnessed a landslide this morning from a little far away in winter.
In one way or another, there would be a great change in the surrounding ecological environment.
There are not just one or two monsters like Giant Mantis that move from their original area to another area. Maybe they’ll run into us.’
Even Yuhwarin’s mother, like this time, is too much.
A new top predator may emerge again.
So, considering that aspect, it was necessary to sort out this lingering attachment as quickly as possible.
‘But.’
Winter stared at this place covered in muddy water with regret and thought.
‘It’s a pity to ignore and pass by his corpse as it is.’
Maybe.
For the rest of Winter’s lifetime, he was a strong fighter that would be hard to face again.
It was a long way from thinking that the characteristics of such an opponent would be mediocre.
The characteristics possessed by the gnome must be special in one way or another.
No doubt.
‘I need to find it…’
Winter looked around his head in nervousness.
There’s no way he was swept away by the water.
‘It’s hard to believe that a guy as big as that house got swept away by the water. No matter how strong the current is.’
The guy’s body was so ignorant that it’s not enough to say he’s gigantic.
In that case, the weight must also have been a considerable axis.
‘So there’s no doubt that it’s around here.’
But even so, we couldn’t wait for the rainy season to end.
After all, a dead body is a dead body.
Dead things rot, rot, and eventually return to dust.
In the end, the deadline was today.
As soon as tomorrow comes, Mother Yuhua Lin, the head of the pack, might decide on her migration. It was because it was raining heavily on her.
There is hesitation.
The watchful gaze of Yuhwarin, her mother, who wants to return to her family.
Winter himself still has to find him.
‘Wait a minute.’
Suddenly, I had an idea.
Winter raised his eyes at a thought that passed through his mind.
‘If it’s not above the water, then it must be below, out of sight.’
This area has been dug up.
Trees were uprooted whole, and shockwaves turned the ground upside down.
Then maybe,
The corpse of Giant Mantis might have been submerged in that overturned lower ground.
‘It’s also somewhere that’s full of water and can’t be seen with the naked eye.’
The moment I saw the answer, I immediately took action.
Go oh oh-.
The winter eyes began to shine with blue eyes.
Quarrr!
He cut through the flowing current with great force.
Then, the bottom of the ground, which had been hidden by the muddy water, was revealed.
Kyeo-gyeol continued to use his elemental powers, focusing all his energy on searching for extensions.
In the end, Yoo Hwa-rin, the mother who couldn’t wait.
He had to find him before she picked him up and went back to the pack.
‘Where are you?’
I’m nervous.
It seemed like time was running out.
Right now, from behind him, Yuhwarin’s mother continues to send her urging gaze.
From noble mtl dot com
‘Come out quickly. Please hurry up.’
It took a while to search the surroundings so urgently.
Winter was the time to explore, revealing the bottom of an area with an unusually high number of fallen trees.
Slowly.
At the bottom, which had been hidden in muddy water, was revealed.
[·······!!]
Winter, his eyes widened.
‘That’s the correct answer!’
I found it.
The corpse of Giant Mantis.
The dark green triangular head that had lost its light was staring at him unfocused in winter.
A mere praying mantis, what kind of body is that big?
The guy’s head alone was huge enough to be the size of a human’s upper body.
He had a terrible appearance that made him repulsive, but that wasn’t what Winter was concerned about at this moment.
Winter looked back and growled.
[Arrr!]
Help, request! Mother!

Chalbak. Snap.
In the middle of a forest where strong muddy water is constantly flowing.
A group of people is moving.
Their feet, submerged in the muddy water, submerged in the muddy mud field, and came out again and again.
The water flow was strong enough to submerge you in the current that flowed up to your thighs with every step you took.
Nevertheless, there was no hesitation or slowing down in their steps.
If they were mere normal human beings, this might not be the case.
For their pack of werewolves, this amount of current was nothing more than a weak current, worse than child’s play.
My mother Yuhwarin.
She was carrying a load dozens of times larger than her own on her back.
By the way, the appearance of that luggage is rather strange.
With a long body. It was a lump of baggage with a green color that gave the image of a praying mantis.
A lump of luggage? No, no.
If you take a closer look.
You can tell that he is a being that has lost his breath as he hangs down powerlessly as if a string has been cut.
In other words, it was a ‘life’ that was still alive and breathing until just a while ago.
Dive.
Kyeo-gyeol walked through the muddy water and looked at him.
Giant Mantis, an S-class monster.
It was the same guy Yuhwarin and Misoa defeated together the other day.
With an exceptionally repulsive appearance, compound eyes unique to insects that have lost their light.
Winter His figure was reflected like a mirror.
