chapter 381
381 – Provoked, Provoked
“Shall we go again?”
“Tick, tick, tick.”
Since I was chained anyway, I sat down in the center of the boat and started dismantling the charging turtle.
Although the meat of the charging turtle is not as tasty as the big bore or hanziling, it has a special chew and is rich in nutrients.
Since the ship moved on its own after the battle, my colleagues naturally gathered where I dismantled the by-products.
“First of all, removing the internal organs is basic, and if you sell the carapace to the management office as a token, they will only give you 20,000 won, so I heard that it is better to hand it over to the alchemists.”
Hayun tapped the shell of the charging turtle with her palm and recalled the information.
“Do I have to remove all the long red lines between the skin and the flesh?”
JooA seems a little offended and asks a question while covering her nose.
“Tick, tick, tick.”
“Yes. Ilwol said this is a poison gland.”
“Huh? “I never heard that charging turtles are poisonous.”
“Ilwol says it is used to build a nest to protect the spawning grounds.”
Joo-a nodded after hearing Yeon-hee’s words, and then suddenly became curious and asked.
“······I see. But how does Ilwol know that?”
“Huh? Uh… That… They just say it remains in the knowledge.”
“Heh… Well, there must have been monsters like this in the world where Ilwol originally lived, right?”
Noh Hayun is started by JooA’s words and asks.
“Huh? Did Ilwol live in another world?”
“Uh… Usually… Wouldn’t that be the case? Right? Yeonhee?”
“… Well, I don’t know.”
Yeonhee just glossed over it and passed it on, and my colleagues were so caught up in my work that they just passed it over.
Well, who would be curious about the past of monsters?
Seogeo-eok- Seo-geuk-
It was a really huge turtle, but when all the inedible parts were removed, only about 1/3 of its original size remained.
Still, the amount of meat was enormous. It seemed to be about 150-200kg, which was enough to last a few days even for hunters with good appetites.
In particular, the tail, which is known as a delicacy, is about the size of an adult man’s forearm, so I plan to cut it off and grill it like a skewer when I reach the end of this battle.
“Hehe, finish the boss battle quickly and eat something delicious!”
“Good!”
However, it was not an easy dungeon.
If you look at each monster individually, they are not that great.
The unique environment of a water show will continue to make things difficult for us.
And that was clearly felt after the two battles with the group of charging turtles that followed, as the sounds of death came out of the mouths of my comrades.
“Ha-really. I’m starting to feel dizzy. I feel like I’m going to throw up.”
“I think it’s similar to getting motion sickness, but that’s just what she heard.”
“They say there’s no medicine. I have no choice but to hold on. Ugh-“
Rather than being defeated by the strength of the monster.
Even though I calmly went down the river, I had a hard time due to the unusual phenomenon of seasickness.
In this way, the hard work of my colleagues began, and after a while.
We were able to meet the second monster of this dungeon.
“Tick, tick, tick.”
“Haemari Shueyoung. Phew-“
Arin perked her ears, indicating that the enemy was approaching.
Of course, I sensed it in advance, but when they started moving into the water in earnest, I heard a sound like a huge wave crashing, so Arin sensed it quickly as well.
“It’s hard…”
“I can’t get used to this kind of dizziness.”
All of my colleagues’ faces have darkened, and they seem to be suffering from severe motion sickness.
Choaa─ Choaak─
The sound of monsters approaching gets louder.
Hamarishu’s head resembles that of a horse, and its body resembles that of a crocodile..
It is a powerful monster that has no legs but arms, and shoots water with both arms as if clapping its hands to shoot powerful water blades.
Other than that, he’s actually nothing to be nervous about, but his skills are so powerful that he’s a monster you should never let down your guard.
‘If you think the opposite way, that skill will soon be taken away. Heh… It’s a water attribute attack skill. The tension is rising a little.’
Their swimming skills are not as good as those of the charging turtles, but their quick evasive movements, such as flicking their tails, make them difficult to hit with attacks.
Following the clear river water, they approach at high speed, as if they are galloping horses.
“Hey, sword dragon!!”
Kwaa—!!
With Yeonhee’s shout, Shadow Drake’s breath splendidly split the river water.
However, perhaps because it is a shadow attribute, the direction of the attack was greatly reversed as it dug into the water.
“Heee-“
Thanks to this, a group of seahorse Rishu, who easily evaded the breath, pulled his head out and looked up at Geomryongi and laughed.
[·······!!]
When Geomryong saw that, he seemed so angry that even without Yeonhee ordering, he glided as if he would touch the river and swung his front foot at them.
I fell at a tremendous speed, as if I was going to fall into the water.
“Hey?!”
The Hamarisu group narrowly avoided Geomryongi’s attack.
They must have been surprised by Geomryong’s flight speed, so they disappeared deep into the water.
“You can’t even dodge follow-up hits with the breath… !”
Yeonhee was embarrassed because it had never happened before.
And then silence comes for a moment.
I used a hand signal to announce that the number of Hamarishu reached 15, and Jua placed a lot of rocks around the boat to block their attack.
When they use the water blade, they always appear at the water’s edge.
Guys with their heads exposed began to appear one by one, and they quickly disappeared after using their skills.
A half-moon-shaped blade of water, creating a splash, gets stuck in the rock that Joo Shin created.
“Ah, hehe, it seems like rocks are being cut too?”
“Because their skills are so sharp! Just get your bearings! The rock is shaped strangely!”
“Ugh… If it’s easier said than done-“
My colleagues used their skills every time they showed their faces.
Hammarish quickly spreads to both sides to avoid the attack, as if it knows where the attack will come from.
They showed their triumphant expressions again and let out their characteristic cries.
“Kihihihhhhh—!”
“Ah… Are those bastards making fun of us too?”
Hayun got angry and created an ice field, but Hamarisu was already out of range.
But they also have weaknesses.
‘These guys are just fast.’
Now that my colleagues have gotten a taste of what type of guys they are, we should take them out slowly.
– Chirrrr!!
– Kyaa!!
When Yeonhee called out Crackle and Spotted and provoked them, the Seamarishus all showed their faces above the water as if they had made a promise.
They had already turned their eyes away from the provocation.
With the addition of Eunyoung’s song, the effect of the provocation reached its peak and the horse-headed monsters honestly turned towards us.
They were monsters that were sensitive to sound and were very susceptible to provocation.
“Beepeee eee eee a
“Ki hing?!”
When the ultrasonic waves of the hooked bats are fired, the body of the rushing Hammarish is twisted in all directions like a grilled dried squid.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak!!
As more than a hundred ‘Gori’ troops passed by the monsters that were struggling without knowing what to do, their claws turned into mops and the river was dyed blood red.
The water-based blade attack they were proud of did not have much power against the summons coming down from the sky, and those who barely survived fired their skills at the ship, but the only thing that was cut off was Jua’s rock barrier.< Br﹥
“Boulder Slam”
Puffpuffpuffpuffpuff!!
When Jua waved his hand in the air, small stones whipped around and hit the guys like a storm.
I also took advantage of that opportunity and fired [Thunderhorn].
One by one, seaweeds grilled by lightning begin to float to the surface of the water.
Haha- I like this dungeon!!”
JooA, who finished the show neatly, took a dignified stance and made us laugh.
It will be a fun dungeon for her that is optimized for her defense.
It was also the confidence that came from other parties that were struggling unlike us.
The other parties, spaced out a hundred meters apart, kept screaming as if the situation was not so good.
– Wow!!
-The durability has already reached 2,000!! This will be cleared today, right? Why not just give up?
– When you’re making fun of yourself, try skills-
– Wow!! My finger fell into the river, damn it!!
People who were having trouble with Hamarishu’s skills were visible everywhere.
Right now, only one type of monster appears, but in the future, sometimes they appear along with the charging turtle. If you’re going to give up, it’s better to leave early.
– Hamarishu was defeated for the first time!
– The attribute [Kleptomania] Is activated.
– Randomly steals Hammarish’s characteristics and skills.
– Acquired the attribute [Water Gaze]!
– The achievement [Pioneer] Is activated.
– All abilities increase by 1.
‘Oh oh?! Finally, a water attribute!’
[Water gaze]
– Activates only when in water.
– Detects the opponent’s movements in advance and predicts the path of the attack.
‘Aha – Because of this characteristic, I was able to avoid attacks well.’
Except for this dungeon, I won’t have to use it for a while, but it was definitely a trait that would come in handy someday.
Then, the skill I stole from Hammarish also came to mind.
– Skill [Cicolorene] Has been acquired!
– The achievement [Pioneer] Is activated.
– All abilities increase by 1.
[Cicolorene]
– Can only be used when there is water nearby.
– Water is materialized into a half-moon shaped blade and quickly shot towards the enemy.
‘Hey~ It’s a water attribute attack skill!’
I wanted to use the skill right away, but I exercised patience because I could feel ‘Azra’s gaze staring at me.
(I guess they stole it again.)
‘… Sh-shut up.’
Azra stares at me, scratching the back of her neck with her front paw.
He seems to be having fun looking at me.
After easily suppressing the second group of monsters, the ship started moving again as if it had been waiting.
A party that had been torn to pieces by Hamarishu’s skill from afar had disappeared before we knew it.
“I guess you gave up?”
“You cut off two fingers.”
“Looking at it, it seems too early to challenge this dungeon. I have the courage, but jumping is not something I should do carelessly.”
It seems that there are fearless people who are overconfident in their abilities and attack high-level dungeons.
‘I don’t know if you have multiple lives like me, but that’s a bit…’
“They say it’s normal to go through something like that… But we’re so strange.”
“Our party is good.”
I began to dismantle Hamarisu while only casually listening to my colleagues’ stories.
Unlike the charging tortoise, there is absolutely nothing edible about the sea marish.
Something as long as the spine could be used as a material for a skull bomb, but the quantity was so small that it only amounted to one piece.
My colleagues asked why I was dismantling something that I couldn’t even eat, but I stuck my hand into its body and pulled out a small bead.
“Huh? What is that?”
“Isn’t that bead-like organ discarded because it has no effect?”
I thought so too, but this was an ingredient in ‘Kilbad’s’ recipe.
‘Hamarishu’s little beads… I need to collect as many of these as possible.’
