38 – Treant Forest (1)

Giving the rune of thorns to the sturgeon has had some effect, so I think I can give it to him for the time being.

Booung-

‘Ent moves slowly, so it’s rather easy to deal with. Coincidentally, I also learned flame bullets… Rather, changing the order was helpful.’

I even thought it wouldn’t be bad to go around the dungeons as Yeon-hee decided.

‘Let’s go to the hidden place in the Fire Monkey Dungeon as soon as the entry restrictions are lifted.’

Booung ㅡ

And today’s new worry.

‘What should I change my job to? Well, the answer has already been decided.’

If Yeon-hee continues to increase her allies, focusing on the tank-type Lizardman, it would be appropriate to reinforce her insufficient attack power.

Of course, in order to protect Yeon-hee, we should not neglect investing in physical strength, but it was clear that changing jobs as a bomber would lead to a different development than before.

‘Wouldn’t it be better to suck on the Skeleton Soldier EXP perk right now, then change jobs when you go to a higher dungeon? I’ll be patient until the wetlands or Hobgoblin Dungeon.’

I couldn’t help but think about the efficiency, because even with the Treant Forest, which I was going to go to next, I would be able to deal with the opponent with my current strength.

‘Let’s decide by the time we leave the lower dungeons.’

And the next day.

I was summoned from a space of darkness, and I hurriedly looked around in an apparently foreign environment.

From noble mtl dot com

“Ugh… Here, as you’ve heard, the air is… Wow-“

Yeonhee retched and took out a mask exclusively for the ent forest from her inventory and put it on. The mask is an item made by grinding by-products such as the bark of an Ent, and has the effect of resisting toxic substances from forests occupied by Ents.

Because their breath has a slight paralyzing effect, if you continue to inhale it, you will become unable to move at some point.

Although the Ents move slowly, they have a strong sense of kinship, so even if they kill just one, they are automatically marked with the mark of the dead and are constantly pursued until they leave the dungeon.

‘Whoa- I’m much more nervous than when I was a fire monkey…’

Perhaps it was the same with the other teams at the entrance, they were not able to stretch their feet easily.

A haze that obscures vision spreads thickly all over the place.

Even if it’s an Ent’s slow thorn attack, it’s harder to dodge than expected in this environment.

“Go, let’s go, Sunwol.”

Nod-

Jeobeok-jeobeok-

‘It takes a while to get there…’

There are hundreds of dungeons called Ent Forests all over the world, which repeatedly appear and disappear, but the structures within them are all very different.

Nevertheless, the reason I can guess the location is because the environment in which the hidden location is located is almost the same.

Like the lake found in the ridge plain found in the Big Bore Dungeon.

‘Here is one in the graves of the Ents in the middle of the forest, and one in the basement where the Ent Champions are nestled at the end of the dungeon.’

Once, my goal was the grave. Of course, I will guide you slowly toward that direction. As soon as Yeon-hee moved a little further from the entrance, she immediately summoned iron beetles and slimes.

If you summon just these two guys, you can keep your mana at full because the recovery speed is faster than the mana consumed.

Of course, that was also thanks to Artifact. As soon as the slime was called out, it was familiarly wrapped around her arm, and the sturgeon followed us while diligently crawling on the floor.

And it felt like walking for 20 minutes.

Whoo oh oh oh-

When the unpleasant sound of wind passing through the trees passed by my ears, I touched Yeon-hee’s hand and signaled.

(Two?)

Nod-

In this dungeon, slimes and zombies are occasionally encountered, but it’s almost only ents. This is because the toxic fumes they exhale completely exclude other races.

Lesser Flame Rounds: 10/10

I held about 10 flame bullets I had stored in my hands and approached slowly.

Sarararak-

‘I noticed.’

The stems that were scattered on the floor soared into the sky.

‘Eck! Even if I avoid it with my senses, the other kids will have a hard time, right?’

Wheeik!

Puppuppuppuppup!!

First of all, I fed them flame bullets.

The trunk of a dark brown tree with a height of well over 5m suddenly lifted up and frantically shakes off the body that was on fire. At the same time, they swung the thorny stalks at us like whips.

Whirliriririk!!

“Lizard!! Kobold!!”

However, I gave up avoiding the thorn stems that the two summoned lizardmen and kobolds had flown in, and just got beaten up, grabbed them with my bare hands, and entered into a power struggle.

The other ent was striking the sturgeon with its stem, as if it had attracted aggro to it.

However, the thorny rune’s reflective damage caused the stem shell to burst.

I rushed into the burning torso of the one who was competing for strength and rammed it with all my might.

Kwaaang!!

ㅡ!!!

They couldn’t make a sound, but I could tell that the reverberation unique to Ents spread throughout the forest.

The one I put in my dash collided with the other one and both of them started to spread the flames widely, and we just had to cut the stems while defending.

Of course, even if it was defense, the summoned beasts other than me were just beaten up, perhaps because their view was blocked.

‘Well, the first battle is okay… And the flame bullets seem like a really good skill the more you use them. If there were no flame bombs in the first place, I had to bring a lot of one-time Molotov cocktails, so it would have cost more money to prepare.’

Huh ugh ㅡ

Boo Woong ㅡ

The movements of those guys who were already slow were burning with fire, and the attack itself lost its purpose and just hit the surroundings randomly.

‘The acid solution will be less effective. After all, it’s labor.’

Tung- Tung-

Puffpuk-!!

Yeon-hee is also trying to fire a few arrows, but it won’t be very fun.

“As expected, my attack doesn’t seem to do much damage!”

However, it was impossible to buy expensive incendiary liquid and get it buried in the arrowhead.

Whoa oh oh oh

I left the defense to the other summons, and I clung to the burning Ents and hit them like crazy with a stone hammer.

Kwagak! Kwajik! Crack Crack!!

‘Die, die!!’

And after a while.

Kooung ㅡ!!

– You killed the Ent!

– Acquired a small amount of experience.

– Acquired a low-level magic stone. Manastones are moved to the summoner’s inventory.

– Attribute [Kleptomaniac] Is activated.

– Randomly steals Ent’s skills.

– Acquired the skill [Contaminated Breath].

Tainted Breath

– Spreads contaminated breath with poison/paralysis effects in a 30m radius centered on the caster.

– The longer the exposure time, the higher the effect.

– You can choose between poison and paralysis effects.

‘Well, as expected.’

I didn’t know that you could choose between poison and paralysis, but if you’re already a hunter, there’s no one who doesn’t know about the rest.

Hwiik-

‘Eck!’

After dodging the blind thorn attack, he rushes into the other one and rams it.

Thump!!

ㅡ!!

Similarly, after hitting it with a stone hammer a few times, it fell to the ground and died. It was easy to deal with, probably because he had grown up after going around similar level fire monkey dungeons.

– You killed the Ent!

“Yap!! Quickly, quickly!!”

Perhaps Yeon-hee remembered the fact that she had to leave quickly with cheers, she jumped at the fallen Ent and removed one of its thorns.

Because each Entity has a subtly different component of its thorns, it was possible to identify it as a subjugation mark even if only one was removed.

I also picked up the thorn from the one I defeated, put it in his pocket, and started running.

Whoaaa!!

After a while, there was a vibration that made the forest reverberate. And not just on our side, the same vibrations arose everywhere.

The hunters who entered with us must have succeeded in hunting around the same time.

“As expected, the wisdom of the ancestors!!”

Because it is very difficult to survive if you become a target alone in the Ent Forest, waiting for other teams at the starting point before entering together was to disperse the target.

“Huh- Heo- Eok- Yeah, but you’ll catch up quite a bit, right?”

Nodding-

If you went home after hunting just once, you could go back to the exit without any worries, but we were just getting started.

The more the Ents are killed, the more monsters will follow us. And if you stay stupid, at some point you will be driven to the point where it is difficult to find a way out.

Whoaaa ㅡ

The frequency of their exhalation being caught by the sensory waves increased.

‘It’s convenient because it saves me the trouble of searching.’

“Clack!!”

“Where? Ah!!”

At some point, another guy appeared from the direction we were running from and stood in the way.

Three fireballs were thrown again, and this time they rushed together with the Lizardmen, knocked them down, and then beat them as a group.

‘Where are you going to search?’

It was a matter of seconds to defeat a guy I could deal with alone, as many clung to him.

– Your level has risen.

First of all, I pulled out the thorns and quickly left the seat to raise my stats.

‘Because he said that there will be a limit to increasing strength after changing jobs… Until then, I’ll have to increase my strength.’

After raising his agility and magic power, he picked up a tattered stone hammer and showed it to Yeonhee.

From noble mtl dot com

“Ah! Fat! Do you have any more stone hammers for Ilwol?”

The kobold who once had an accident nodded his head with an innocent expression as if he had never done that.

(Hey, you fat guy. Give me all the stone hammers you have.)

Ugh…
