Chapter 111 – Fisherman Geography
#111.
─Kieek!
─Aaaaa!!
At the same time as Yang Jin-young’s voice coming from Asrai, a collision sounded. An extended explosion sounded, and a shockwave exploded through the air.
Gaon and Hayeon were running busily in a corner about 3km away from the battlefield of such an abyss. Using the Poongwolbo, they moved toward the cliff marked on the map without making even the slightest noise or dust.
Turning her head to look at it, the ant queen was now focused on her guild alliance. Far from being wary of them, she doesn’t seem to be able to afford to look away.
‘There won’t be any problems.’
The power of the guild union was beyond imagination. Seeing each other complement each other’s weaknesses, Gaon felt relieved and ran to the wall marked on the Jangbodo.
Arriving there, Gaon put down Chorin and immediately spread his hands on the wall.
Everything has to do with breathing. This hard wall was no exception. The rock breathes and detects all the waves it emits, and uncovers hidden secrets.
When he was so focused, Chorin summoned her Rinne, as she had heard before. Although the queen ant can feel her mana, there is no problem at this distance.
Even if Rinne is found through the power of an artifact, he will eventually be mistaken for a familiar summoned by the Guild Alliance. She didn’t have to worry.
As Chorin sent Rinne flying high into the sky to make it easier to monitor her guild alliance, Gaon opened her eyes and exhaled, as if she had just figured out the secret of her wall.
Then, after taking a few steps to the side, he stabbed his hand straight into the wall. This wall is also just an illusion created through the Jinbeop. Gaon groped beyond the wall, found something like a lever, and turned it aside.
Then, with a gurgling sound, the wall split on both sides, creating a long passage.
There is no time to be surprised. Gaon led Chorin and Hayeon, who opened their mouths in surprise as they looked down the aisle, and went straight inside.
The passage was dark. The only thing I could rely on in this place, where it was so dark that I couldn’t see an inch in front of me, was a distant, dimly lit exit.
When they reached the end of the passage, they were greeted with another world. A lake as transparent as a mirror stretched out over the horizon, and fireflies were flying over it.
“Wow! Amazing!”
“… It is beautiful.”
The two couldn’t hide their surprise. It was such a great scenery. I was busy looking around without lowering my guard.
‘It’s amazing.’
This is welcome Because of the long walk, I wonder where the pervert would come to the queen ant’s spawning room and follow the wall, but Sintu wasn’t vigilant and had a welcome screen spread inside.
Gaon also looked around the lake for a while, lost in sentimentality at the right time, and tapped Chorin on the shoulder.
“Then, Mr. Chorin, please.”
“Can I?”
“It’s okay. I believe in Chorin.”
“… All right.”
Positioning is, after all, arranging objects along a certain direction to create a natural fortress using the energy flowing in the spirit vein.
The transparent lake in front of him right now, and the small fireflies flying over it were all a type of mana.
It is common to find life gates in order to break the truth. Otherwise, destroy it purely by force. But all of them are currently unavailable.
Normally, it means that it is impossible for them to pass the Jinbeop now. But they have someone who can turn all of these games upside down.
Gaon looked at Chorin.
Jinbeop is a type of barrier that is eventually formed with mana. Then, what if there was someone who could absorb that mana? Of course, the truth is bound to be confused.
Even if it was impossible to shake the whole thing, at least wherever she could reach, the effect of the Jinbeop could be nullified.
But Chorin’s reaction was strange. She was supposed to absorb mana and open her way, but her nerves were focused elsewhere. Gaon asked as she looked around intently and looked around.
“Chorin, why are you like that? Is something going on?”
“Yes? Oh, that’s… Something is strange.”
“What is strange about it?”
“Did you say it was life? I think I can find out where it is.”
This was something Gao did not expect.
Knowing where the birth gate is is a good thing. But I couldn’t be sure if that was true. Chorin also had a troubled look on her face as if she couldn’t be sure even after saying it herself.
Gaon, who was facing Chorin with an awkward expression, suddenly remembered her from the past.
‘Could it be from then?’
In the past, when he used the Seoncheonjingi to defeat the Beast Prince, Chorin instantly realized that his vitality had been exhausted.
At that time, I just let it go, but looking at it now, I wonder if I can feel everything that separates life and death, not just limited to vitality.
Although the concept of the true nature of the truth is a bit different, there was no other answer than that if I had to fit it anyway.
‘If it’s true, I’ll have one more hand to use.’
It would be great if it was possible to distinguish life and death as Chorin predicted. But you can’t rely on it to gamble. For now, it was prudent to stick with the original plan.
“Chorin, let’s check that later. Right now, passing the Jinbeop is the priority.”
“Yes, got it. Then I’ll take the lead. Please join hands.”
“Then please.”
Gaon grabbed Chorin’s outstretched hand. Of course, the other hand is held by Hayeon. Just like that, Chorin used magic.
Now, it was her signature magic, Entangle. Dozens of tree roots stretched out from the spot where she stood, and before long, she encroached on her position.
The energy that formed the transparent lake was instantly absorbed by Chorin through the roots of the trees. What was left was the same dull dirt floor they had been through.
Only the space with a radius of 5m centered on Chorin has changed like this. It was as if the spaces were joined in the middle. The scenery of the lake like another world and the dull soil floor created an indescribable sense of difference.
They continued on their way across the lake. A few hours of walking would not be enough to pass the lake that extends beyond the horizon.
However, when they took a step, the fireflies that were far away suddenly approached right in front of them. The sense of distance mixed into a mess caused dizziness.
Gaon moved her energy and sent it to Hayeon, who flinched and endured the pottery. Based on that, I massaged the blood vessels on the side of the temple, and it quickly became fine.
She grinned at Gaon’s consideration and thanked him by giving strength to her hand that held her.
Would it have moved about 5 minutes like that? At some point, the lake suddenly disappeared as if it was washed, and a space of about 30 pyeong appeared.
“Whoa… Is it finally over?”
Hayeon asked as she caught her breath. She must have been very nervous. She was, of course she would have drowned if she had put her foot in the lake by mistake.
A well-made jinbeop actually has a significant effect on the human body. Wasn’t there a person who was locked up in a frozen warehouse that was turned off from the earth and frozen to death? It made the same sense.
Gaon left behind Chorin and Hayeon, who were talking to each other, and looked around. Treasures of all kinds abound in every corner of the eye.
‘It’s amazing.’
Gems and gold coins were strewn about the floor, seemingly insignificant compared to what was here.
Gaon passed by and headed towards the center.
There was a ring with an orange jewel in it. Just by looking at it, you can feel its hardness and wide tolerance, and this is the ring that Milena has been looking for with the blessing of Trowell.
A spear was hung on a carefully prepared cradle on the wall next to it, and he could feel the wind whirling around the spear through his senses.
In a previous life, it was a weapon that was famous under the name of Wind Spear. It is said that it is made from the fangs of the divine beast, wind and waves, and bestows the protection of the wind on the user.
Gaon looked at all the other weapons and picked up an old box lying on the side. When I opened the lid, I saw a single ring wrapped in gold foil.
‘It’s an elixir.’
It was impossible to accurately measure it, but it was an elixir that was incomparably more effective than the one he consumed last time.
As Gaon was examining the elixir, he heard a voice.
“Gaon-san, can I take everything here?”
Looking back, Cho-rin and Ha-yeon, who had been talking about each other, were approaching before I knew it. Chorin asked, pointing to the gold and silver jewelry scattered on the floor, while Hayeon glanced sideways at the window mounted on the wall.
It seems that I want to have it. Perhaps he remembered the last time he said he would get a weapon, and when he signaled to Gaon with a wink, he smiled and handed it to Gaon.
“Take it. This is yours.”
“Yes? Really? But wouldn’t it be better to change weapons first, Master?”
“Don’t say anything you don’t mean to. Hurry up and accept it. Or should I use it?”
“Oh no! You never said you didn’t like it. I’ll write well. Hehe…”
When she tried to reap the gale window in a way that did not dislike her, Ha-yeon hurriedly ran and accepted it. I like the way she strokes the window with a smile on her face.
Gaon, who was gazing at the figure with satisfaction, approached Chorin, who was taking her treasure.
“Chorin, but how about the guild union now?”
“Hmm… It’s still fine. It’s strange, but the queen ant isn’t stepping out. At this rate, I think there will be no problem for about an hour.”
“Is that so? Then I’ll absorb some elixirs. Call me if anything happens.”
His level is currently only 6 stars. At this rate, even if you go out, you will be blocked by ants and it will be impossible to escape. Above all, he had no intention of using the guild union like a devoted partner.
I needed to be strong even to save them. In order to reach the 7th star, he needs to open a middle battle, and to do so, hitting Lim Dok Yang Mac is essential.
There are two ways to pierce Imdok Yangmaek. You have no choice but to wait for an opportunity that will come naturally, or forcefully pierce it with an enormous amount of energy.
In the case of the latter, the risk is very high, but it was not too difficult for Gaon, who had already reached the level of 11 stars in his previous life.
Originally, I planned to get it through a black dealer, but unfortunately, I didn’t have a suitable item, so I put it off. Now that he had obtained the elixir, there was no need to hesitate any longer.
However, it was only his personal opinion that it was not dangerous. Chorin stopped Gaon from opening the elixir box.
“Now, hold on! The other day you said it was dangerous! Are you okay?”
Gaon had explained the dangers of mana regurgitation a few months ago, hoping that Chorin and Hayeon would not make a mistake.
Chorin had no choice but to worry as he tried to forcefully do so despite saying that the act of forcibly piercing the bloodstream with his own mouth could lead to a crippled person if he made a mistake.
However, Gaon firmly shook his head.
“Don’t worry, we can adjust that much. Excuse me then.”
“Ah, ah!”
Chorin tried to say something more, but he couldn’t help but shut his mouth as Gaon swallowed the elixir and closed his eyes.
Gaon also wanted to reassure her, but her situation was not going well for her now. She had to open a stoppage as soon as possible to finish her metamorphosis and go to help the guild union.
He gathered the energy that spread from his stomach to his entire body into a single field and drove away his idle thoughts.
