Chapter 289 – 289. Landing on the East Continent 3
I crossed the dense bamboo forest and set out to find as many traces of civilization as possible.
From what I heard, I thought the entire ecosystem had been destroyed because it had been taken over by demons, but it was surprisingly quiet, and even the air was pleasant.
…
…
.
Hmm…? Didn’t we run quite a bit?
The long bamboo forest, easily a few meters high, did not end even though we were running faster than humans.
This bamboo forest is more extensive than expected.
“Isn’t it strange? Hey, kid, I guess we…”
“I see. Master?”
“Waiting”
I left a trace on the narrow road just in case.
I mainly cut down bamboo or cut grass, and did everything little by little to leave no traces, but thanks to that, I was able to find out.
“We are wandering our way now. “We are going around the same road”
“As expected, haha! Then we can just destroy all of this!”
“No, I don’t want to leave any traces of its function. Let’s climb the tree instead.”
“If it’s that kind of distance, leave it to Jim. “I’ll be back soon”
Davia, whose body was faintly covered in electricity, only jumped lightly, but his height surpassed the long bamboo.
The teams here are all specialized in maneuver.
The Haure Rex was following our pace better than it looked, so she was definitely an awakened species.
The reason why Ruschel, Haure, and Mr. Howling were included as scouts was also because of the beast race’s unique sense of smell.
“Sniff. I smell something.”
Smell?
“Hey, faintly… It smells sweet…”
“Dannae? Where?”
“Hi.!? If you come close, I will cry.!!”
Haure still freaks out when I approach him, so he clings to Ruschel because he has no one to rely on.
That tearful expression seems like it would turn into a travesty if I touched it, so I try not to mess with Haure as much as possible.
“I guess it would have been better to have brought Gnagor along.?”
“Oh, no.! It’s just that… The director gives off a faint tinge of reluctance to live.”
“Me?”
“Yes… I’ve been like this ever since we met recently. That’s it. I feel like if I do something wrong, I’ll be in big trouble. I’m sorry.”
“Ruschel, do you feel that way too?”
“I don’t deny it, but… I will still follow my master. Because the person who gave me so much is the master.”
Haha! A male must have that much!”
“… There is no life for that man.”
Does it exude life? I didn’t expect that.
Doesn’t embrace the desire to kill mean that I hate something or can’t control my anger?
“Haure, I’m sorry, but I have to go as I saw.”
“Yes…? Ha, but. If that happens.”
“My hands are shaking right now, so please stay next to Gnagor as much as possible.”
“Yeah… Ugh.?”
When I stroked Haure’s small head, she was scared and closed her eyes.
I guess I’m quite scared.
“Haure, I’m not doing this because I hate you or are unhelpful, so I hope you don’t feel too disappointed.”
“… I will…”
Even so, we have to get out of this bamboo forest now.
“I’ve been to the West”
“What do you think?”
“The size itself is not that big, but the problem is the procedure. You have to go through a process to get out of this place. That’s the work of a bad guy. “He’s a boring guy.”
Davia, who had been wandering in the sky, came down and muttered to herself, showing off her temper.
“What is the procedure?”
“Three things. First, escape into the sky. Second, get out through procedures. Thirdly, kill the person who made this prank. The main body will be here, so if you just want to find it, select “
Haha! If it means killing, I agree!”
“I think that’s good too. Master. It is better to reduce the number of enemies as much as possible.”
Kill if it’s simple, but in this world, cleaning up isn’t particularly difficult, so there’s nothing to worry about.
Moreover, this is the enemy’s stronghold.
But I’m not sure that this forest is truly prepared to bind us.
Not everyone will be an enemy. At least I think so.
“Only if it’s an enemy”
—-
We divided into three groups – Ruschel, Haure, me, Davia, and Mr. Howling – and went out to search for the enemy in the bamboo forest.
Ultima Howling may look like a child, but her adult appearance at that time was such that one would dare to call her a beast.
Of course, it was just an excuse for me to leave them alone in the enemy camp, but I thought it was best to divide them like this in order to quickly deal with the enemy.
“West, why did you leave your luggage on the ground? It would be more efficient to be in the sky.”
“And then if you get caught, you’ll be in trouble. It will be dangerous if there is a long-range attack or if this forest burns down.”
“Then I will restrain myself as much as possible.”
“What I’m most worried about is Russell.”
“You don’t have to worry about that. “I put a mark on the children with my own hand.”
“A sign?”
“It’s Jim’s trademark!”
Where did you learn that word? This is a different world, right?
“What Jim said was okay, he really was okay, so don’t worry.”
“Then Mr. Howling is the only one who doesn’t know the situation?”
“He won’t be guilty either, so don’t worry, West.”
“No, that’s not what I’m worried about.”
-Tukwaaaaang!!
A heavy sound coming from somewhere in the bamboo forest.
Just when I thought it was an enemy attack, the familiar sound of laughter revealed the result.
– Haha!!!! I found this guy!!!”
-Tukwaaaaang!!!
“”…””
His voice echoes through the bamboo forest and the ground reverberates as if an earthquake has occurred.
That idiot!! We’ve just sneaked in, but if we do this, it’s no different from just shouting ‘Please catch us!’!!!
“It seems like the West needs to hurry…”
“It might already be too late. Haha…”
Did they bring that person for no reason…
—-
Haha!! “I picked it up just in case. Should I kill it?”
“Yes, you guys.! How dare you set foot on the land of our Sinseon Port? “If My Lord finds out, you are all dead!!!”
A man with a pair of horns on his forehead is tied up with rope and lying in front of us.
“Not only do these lowly things dare to set foot on our land, but they even kidnap us? You all deserve the death penalty!”
“Fortunately, the language is the same. “I guess demons are surprisingly intelligent too?”
“Don’t treat us and you are the same! You vulgar races! In this land, there should be only demons who are loved by magic! Get out now!”
A demon who knows his situation and says everything he has to say.
They seem to think that we are quite low-level beings.
“Will everyone please make room?”
“Master?”
“… Don’t do that. If something happens, I will run straight away. Until then, we will patrol the surrounding area.”
Davia, who was afraid of what I would do next, took the others with me and left the room.
“Can I call you Davia?”
“I allow it”
“I feel like I haven’t greeted you properly yet. My name is Rushelle Knox.”
“I’ve heard this story often”
“Is that so.? The master said it. But why did the owner ask me to leave?”
“… You are more innocent than I thought.”
“Yes.?”
—-
“Where is the devil?”
“There’s no way I knew that, right? Haha.! You guys are wasting your time! Even if I were to die, it would be difficult to get out of this bamboo forest, right? Sigh.!”
I silently aimed the black karambit at his neck.
It’s close enough that you could easily get stabbed in the neck.
Looking at his face, it seemed like he didn’t want to die yet.
If so, I can complete the work more easily.
“I won’t kill you. 〈Time-Room〉”
“Is that so? But what about this? “No matter how much the vulgar human species does, I have no intention of opening my mouth?”
“You still don’t understand? “I won’t kill you”
“So, I don’t plan on blowing anything… Hey, wait a minute… Hey hey.! What are you trying to do now!!”
The blade that was aimed at his neck slowly headed towards his ear.
I definitely said this. ‘I won’t kill you’
I meant to say that I would be tortured, but seeing that he did not understand this made me look like an amateur.
No, I don’t think something like that would happen in the first place. They are one of the three major races in name and color.
No, there is a clear gap between the rich and the poor and the rich and poor here too. If that happens, of course there will be people who are abandoned, and there will also be people who become crooked because of it.
“If you don’t say anything, I will dismantle your body one by one.”
“Hmm… What!? Wait, wait a minute.! What do you want? Did you see it? “I’m just a low-ranking soldier, so I don’t know anything like that!”
“Oh, let me tell you something. Even if you talk about it here, the outside world won’t hear it, so don’t worry.”
“So, just put down this knife for a moment!!”
…
“I don’t like it”
“What.!?”
-Clap!
“Quaaaaah!!!! “Ears, ears, ears!!”
There are two ears. Even if you cut or break one, there is another side, so you can answer questions.
“The other thing is the eyes. Next, I will cut off your fingers and toes, joint by joint.”
“Hi!? Ah. The devil.!”
“That’s probably not what I want to hear.”
-Hook!
“Ahhhhh!”
This time, I stabbed one of my eyes.
“You still have one eye left. Answer me”
“You crazy bastard.!”
“… I think I said fingers and toes.”
“Ah… I understand…! Furthermore, I’ll tell you. Please… Please save me.!!”
“…”
I wiped the blood off the sword and held it to his neck again.
“You only answer what is asked”
