Chapter 167 – 167 Hidden Dungeon (6)
*
“Is it really what was found here?”
“Reports came in that a similar guy had been seen. In fact, they say disappearances often happen around here, so it must be correct.”
“You’re a tough guy, hasn’t it been a while since you’ve had a bounty?”
“So, why not hide in a mountain like this? He’s just a coward. Hehe…”
At night, when darkness fell, men dressed in all-black outfits started climbing the mountain.
I’m sure I’m walking forward, but I can’t hear footsteps. Those who moved with a very stealthy and skillful gait moved quietly without making a sound of stepping on the soil or tripping on the grass.
“There are footprints here… The number seems to be higher than expected.”
“The odds of that many people gathering in a mountain like that are slim.”
“Looks like you’ve found it right. You must have gathered all the criminals around you, right?
“Anyway, criminals, there’s something about annoying people.”
The five members were bounty hunters who specialized in hunting felons who could be killed.
“It looks like there are a lot of people, is it okay if we go by ourselves?”
The cautious-looking man looked at the number of footprints and murmured. He seemed uneasy about the number of people who seemed to be 3 to 4 times more than himself.
“Anyway, he’s a Class B bounty, and he’s human. He gets complacent when he thinks he’s safe.”
In the mountains far away from the city center, in the mountains where no one lives, they had to rely only on the moonlight.
“Who do you think would raid at a time like this?”
Bounty hunters tracking the footprints spotted a light in the distance. Since it was far from private houses, it was unlikely that ordinary people would be here.
Even if you are a normal person who likes mountain climbing, camping on a mountain where monsters appear is an act of suicide. The only good people here are criminals.
“Then shall we begin the work?”
They began to warm up with confident expressions.
Even if there were a large number of people, it was clear that all but a few people would be talking nonsense.
If only the people who look like executives are wiped out at once, they will probably not be able to unite and scatter.
Originally, these kind of people are more dependent on a crisis situation and are busy looking for their own way to live.
“If you’ve committed a crime, shouldn’t you be punished?”
The man muttered while holding a sleeping bomb.
“Then I’ll hit the job first.”
No matter how clandestinely the move was made, there was a high probability of being caught if five people moved together.
The human who seemed to be the leader began to move, climbing the tree with feather-light movements.
The only thing they could hear was the sound of the wind blowing, and it was so quiet that they couldn’t believe that people were approaching them.
As the man approached the light, he saw huts that seemed to have been built roughly, and men sleeping outside, probably because it was hot.
The bounty hunter checked the faces of the sleeping people from afar.
All criminals, small or large, had a bounty on them, and if you killed them by mistake, you wouldn’t have a problem.
Their shabby appearance and scruffy appearance, which made them question if they were properly washed, showed how long they had been living in the mountains.
Garbage that fled to the mountains for fear of punishment, they were scavengers who cleaned up this kind of garbage.
“You pitiful bastards…”
Seeing them sleep so complacently, not knowing what would happen to them in the future, the man smiled crookedly and placed a sleeping bomb on top of a tree.
__Push shh..
Sleeping gas that begins to spread with a quiet sound. It is heavier than normal air, so if you place it on top of a tree like this, the gas will sink to the bottom.
It is impossible to cover the entire range with just one, so the man who went up and down the tree and fired more than 5 sleeping bombs decided to return to the place where his teammates were waiting.
After a while, all I had to do was deal with the guys who had fallen into a deep sleep one by one.
It was a mountain road that would be difficult for an ordinary person to distinguish the direction, but he skillfully distinguished the direction and started to move.
‘This job will be easy too.’
Is it okay to take such an easy opponent and receive such a lot of money?
He felt as though his conscience had been pricked.
It would be nice to have only these guys every time.
“Isn’t it you who is pathetic?”
“?!”
As I lost my tension, I heard a creepy voice behind me.
He reacted belatedly and tried to move his body, but the blade pierced his chest with intense pain from the back of his back.
“I’ll commend you for twisting your body in the meantime.”
“Uh… When…!”
The blade narrowly missed his heart. Although he could not have died instantly, it was a fatal wound.
“Well?”
“This… Fuck!”
He moved his body somehow, slashing the blades flying from behind him.
Something went wrong.
Class B wasn’t low, but they had already dealt with Class A wanted criminals.
It’s normal to never get caught, but how did you find out in the first place?
‘This is why I shouldn’t trust old data!’
In the case of a bounty on a bounty in the past, this would sometimes happen.
If you are undervalued compared to your original ability, or if you grow stronger in the meantime.
“Help me!!!!”
In this case, there was no need to take the risk. Although he’s great, if he fought alongside his comrades, he could definitely kill him.
You just have to take advantage of it and run away.
He must have heard his own voice, but why is no one coming?
“이 새끼들은 왜 여자가 없어. 시발 그 년들은 안 보이고 왜 이런 새끼들밖에 없어?”
The men who ran to the place where their teammates were, felt weak with despair.
Because all four of them are dead with their heads cut off.
It made no sense. 4 people were killed by only one person?
They were pros at hunting humans. However, there was no way he could only be beaten by a Class B bounty.
Have I been assaulted?
For that reason, there were traces of fierce battles. Weapons and tools they often use.
Blood stains on his hands and body indicated that he was the culprit.
The man with a large stab wound in the corner of his right eye grinned.
“Shin Kwang-ho… I’m sure it’s A-class…”
*
I don’t know what the principle is, but when I came down to the third basement floor, the sky existed, and as time passed, night was coming.
“I never thought it would get dark~”
“Haa.. I want to wash…”
This is a jungle area, so it was difficult to continue in the setting sun.
It was close to impossible to keep going in a situation where you didn’t know what might pop out of the grass.
“How big is it?”
I was determined to keep going no matter how big it was, but I didn’t expect it to be this big. I’ve already come down to the third floor, how long will it last?
I already passed level 30. The thief’s skills were only raising agility because they were affected by agility.
Compared to the first time, it was ridiculously fast.
[Name: Siwoo Kim]
[Job: Thief]
[Strength: 5]
[ Agility: 25 ]
[ Stamina : 10 ]
[Magic attribute: 10]
[Stamina: 8]
[ Remaining stat: 0 ]
I stroked the crude-looking ring and closed the status window.
Certainly, the rewards started to get better the further you progressed. If you keep going, you might be able to get some pretty good equipment.
“Let’s eat first!”
“Shall we camp over there?”
“Huh!”
He gathered around the firewood and made a bonfire. It wasn’t that difficult to light a fire, perhaps because of Da-eun’s magic.
Da-eun started cooking with her proficient skills.
In the middle, Min-ji tried to help, but Min-ji eventually agreed to Da-eun’s firm request.
It’s uncomfortable, but I’m still excited.
“Now.. Take Minji.. Take Siwoo too..”
The soup with a little bit of ingredients, the skewers with salt and pepper removed, there was no special cooking process, but it was quite mouth-watering.
“I didn’t know that I wouldn’t be able to eat the food I brought… What are all these dungeons like?”
“Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to buy food at the store though?”
Consumables were covered with coins obtained from hunting monsters.
I packed a lot of things in my bag, but there weren’t many things that I could use properly in this dungeon.
The food tasted like sand and became inedible, and the bombs and noisemakers were all unusable.
“Is the taste okay?”
Da-eun, who cooked the dish, asked for our opinions with a worried expression.
“It’s delicious.. Daeun-ah, it’s really delicious!.”
Judging by Minji’s reaction, it seems to be pretty good. I also ate the food and replied that it was delicious.
Da-eun is not good at cooking.
We chatted moderately and started talking about what happened in the dungeon.
“You have to pull out all those nasty plants!”
“Yeah… It was a bit gross…”
“A disgusting plant? Ah. You mean that. The tip of the plant…”
“Be quiet! You idiot!”
It seems to refer to a plant with a plant end that looks like a male organ. It looked oddly similar, but it spewed a sticky liquid through the cracks.
When Minji cut it in half because she felt bad, I flinched without knowing it.
Time passed and it was time to sleep. It would be nice if everyone slept together, but we had to set a vigil in preparation for an attack by an unexpected monster.
I said I would do the hardest middle time. Da-eun and Min-ji looked at it with worried expressions, but well, I can do this much.
The first was Da-eun, and the last was Min-ji.
I decided on a night watch, but there was another problem. There was only one tent, so men and women had to share the same space.
‘Well, it doesn’t matter if Minji or Daeun are my girls, but…’
To Minji, who didn’t know about my relationship with Da-eun, it seemed a bit worrying.
“That Da-eun only has one tent… Is it okay?”
“Yeah, it’s okay. It’s not a big problem.. This kind of thing often happens in dungeons.. It’s okay because it’s cool..”
Da-eun muttered so much that she couldn’t hear her last words. Strangely, her eyes seemed to be overflowing with color.
“Well…Then we’ll sleep first…”
“If something happens, you have to wake up right away.”
Minji’s eyes were also unusual. I don’t know if I can sleep on this.
“Yeah.. Trust me!”
I went into the tent, leaving only Da-eun in front of the campfire.
“…”
“Why?”
“…”
Minji, who stared me in the eyes without saying a word, came closer to my arms little by little.
Excited expression, thinking that it’s a space where the two of us are alone, it seems that my patience has reached its limit.
Minji silently started rubbing her body against mine.
“Dae-eun might hear it?”
“Joe…Be quiet and you’ll be fine.”
Unknowingly, the corner of my mouth went up.
