Episode 118. How to shoot a dead person’s bow (1)
The air was heavy.
That’s right.
The leader of the rangers, Teslon, who was united with pride, was notorious for being feared even among elves.
Unlike those who simply show pride, it means that solid skills are also supported.
But to touch the tiger’s nose hair?
gulp!
Gulp ….
I heard the sound of dry saliva going over here and there.
But no one dared to even dare to speak.
“human. Do you dare to challenge me with archery? to me!?”
“haha. These are just words from Teslon Kang Jin-hyuk. Don’t take it too seriously.”
Let’s try to make the atmosphere grim. Pennheim intervened.
You must know that if you take even one step further from here, something irreversible will happen.
However, Jinhyuk rather poured oil into the burning house.
“When I was in kindergarten, ?s?s only shot a few bows, but strangely, I don’t think I’ll lose to you. Should I just bet on the demonstration and say that I think I will win even if I shoot?”
I mixed some gunpowder with oil and put some firecrackers on top of it.
If you put up with this, you must be a saint or a sage?
“Aagh! good night. I will definitely make you regret that remark now! tell me! How do you want a confrontation!”
Teslon, his face flushed red, roared madly.
It exploded.
It’s because the elders and nabals have far exceeded the level that can be dried in the liver.
“Heh heh… This is true.”
Pennheim let out a small sigh and shook his head.
“We have to collect swamp figs anyway, so let’s go there. There must be a place where we can compete moderately.”
“good night. I’ll make sure you don’t discuss bows with elves again.”
Theslon grinded his molars.
okay.
At least like humans.
A shot of an arrow will make you feel the gap that you wouldn’t dare to look at.
＊＊＊
10km away from town.
There was a vast expanse of swampy land that seemed endless.
‘surely. Everyone deserves to suffer.’
Jinhyeok slowly scanned the area around the swamp.
The mud is so deep that it is difficult to determine the bottom, and swamp crocodiles are visible here and there.
And he had to overcome all those obstacles before he could reach the fig tree in the middle of the swamp.
‘With the arrival of the players, the crocodiles that were in the upper part of the swamp were driven to the lower part of the swamp, and the fig tree became more crowded.’
The savage swamp crocodiles quickly ate prey the size of elephants, leaving only bones behind, and their speed was faster than expected, making it difficult for even the elves to outrun them.
Simply put, it means that the difficulty level is much higher.
That’s why the elves, unlike usual, couldn’t fill the quota for the festival.
But no matter how many crocodiles there are, if you understand their habits properly, you will realize that numbers don’t mean anything.
Jinhyeok stepped forward.
“Are you really okay?”
Pennheim asked with a worried face.
He is terrified that the invited guest will become crocodile food.
“Leave it alone. Elder. Didn’t you say you were confident? Let’s keep an eye on where and how much you believe.”
Theslon snorted.
The rest of the elves who were watching also agreed, predicting an obvious ending.
Either die or get scared and run away.
With certainty that you will see one or the other.
however.
Everyone’s killing and mocking gaze changed completely after a while.
Woo woo woo!
[Lv6 ‘Golden Demon King’s Treasure’ is activated!]
A new type that has disappeared.
Jinhyeok started to cross over the swamp.
It was so light and fast that I could barely feel the weight.
chump chump chump!
When I moved 10m in an instant, stepping on trees and grass floating on the swamp, the crocodiles in the swamp responded.
“Koooooo!”
“Kaaak!”
With a shrieking sound, the huge jaw snapped open.
The sight of hundreds of swamp crocodiles trying to bite their prey was truly bloody.
However, Jinhyeok was not frightened or intimidated in the slightest.
Because I already knew how to break through this place.
‘The swamp crocodile, whose eyesight has deteriorated, senses the waves of the water and hunts.’
A method of distinguishing between enemies and kin based on the size of each prey by identifying the waves that are uniquely emitted.
Of course, this is a fact that even the elves know.
However, if I can fine-tune the wave using the Sword Demon Emperor’s treasure…
‘I can make them perceive me as my own kind rather than prey.’
Yes.
Jinhyeok was already accustomed to the unique wave that occurs when crocodiles move in the swamp.
“Kurereu…”
“Kie…”
The wild crocodiles in the swamp became quiet like a lie.
On the surface of the water, only the ripples left by Jinhyeok spread smoothly.
“My God…”
“How come those savage swamp crocodiles don’t attack?”
“I guess you know how we don’t.”
“But the swamp crocodile is a monster that only lives here, how could an outsider…” “
Besides, look at that movement. It’s like running on water. I think that would be impossible even for Mr. Teslon…”
“You bastard. Quiet. He said he was right next to Mr. Teslon.”
The elves opened their mouths and spat out one word at a time.
Just looking at his face stained with surprise and joy, it was clear what he thought of Jinhyeok.
of course.
“Kuh…”
Teslon, thirsty for Jinhyeok’s failure, felt his stomach burn.
I couldn’t let him die because the elder was watching.
I thought I would enjoy it to the fullest, begging for my life after being chased by a swamp crocodile.
But this is the result.
If I’m wrong, I might really pick up all the figs and come back.
No, it had already reached a level where it was obvious that things would go back like that.
‘Please fail! Please… call it a mistake!’
Just when Theslon was shouting a silent clamor.
Took!
Jinhyeok arrived at a small island in the middle of the swamp.
It broke through hundreds of crocodiles.
Even without being attacked once.
“hmm. Maybe it’s because I’m tired, but my body is a bit heavy…”
Still, I broke my best record by about 7 seconds.
It’s a natural result since we’ve grown much stronger than in the past.
‘Not bad.’
Now, it goes without saying that it is a record breaking, and it has reached a point where the key is how much the increase will be.
“Anyway, I don’t know how delicious this is. From their point of view, is it addictive similar to eating chicken or pizza?”
Jinhyuk’s gaze turned upward.
It caught my eye to see the tantalizing yellow fruits hanging in rows.
[Swamp fig fruit]
Not only does it have a sweet and sour taste, but it also has the effect of refining mana, so it was an indispensable commodity for elves.
At the same time, it was a fruit that was loved by the spirits.
Jinhyeok approached the fig tree and began to sweep the fruits.
There is plenty of space left in the subspace inventory, so picking all the fruits here shouldn’t be a problem.
“Wow!”
“Humans did it! Now we can hold a festival!”
“I didn’t expect it, but I could really do it!”
A thunderous cheer erupted from among the elves.
All of a sudden, the wariness of strangers disappeared, and the place was filled with warm hospitality and praise.
A festival that has been going on for hundreds of years, and a festival that almost failed for the first time.
It was saved by a human being.
＊＊＊
Patter!
A huge number of berries spilled onto the floor.
They were fig fruits that Jinhyeok had stored in the subspace inventory.
“At this point, I think it has been proven that my words are not lies.”
If you put a toe here, it’s a human… no, it’s not an elf.
If you have even the slightest hint of conscience, you should just keep your mouth shut and nod your head here.
But strangely.
“I admit that the fruit can be picked. But the bullshit you did wasn’t one. You haven’t forgotten what I said about archery, have you?”
There were always fools who surpassed common sense.
hey
In a different sense, he must have had a face beyond imagination.
At this point, we should assume that Teslon’s conscience has hair as thick as an afro head.
Jinhyeok looked at the Tesla with admiration.
“I haven’t forgotten… Don’t you feel it when you look at the rough situation? I think I can tell what the outcome will be just by looking at it?”
“Don’t bullshit. I may have fooled the crocodiles with my shallow numbers, but I am different. Even if you die 100 times and wake up, you can’t beat me.”
Theslon said in a confident tone.
this is true
If you pretend to be that strong… Even if you just want to pass it on, the DNA of the deceased naturally wriggles.
After trampling on and insulting a confident guy, he wants to be distorted with shame so that he can never raise his head again.
such a dark desire.
“Then you and me. Shall we bet who will win?”
“A bet?”
“Isn’t it boring if it’s just a battle of pride?”
Whether you win or lose, you can only yawn in a confrontation where you can win mentally.
If you really want to crush your opponent to the bone, of course you have to be punished accordingly.
“If I lose, I’ll do whatever you tell me to, whether it’s licking your shoes or leaving town right now. Instead, if you lose too, do whatever I tell you to do. how is it?”
“Funny. good night. Don’t do that. Just in case, don’t go back and change your words.”
“You are. Don’t stretch your tongue out too long. I’m not the kind of person who sees me whining.”
“The noble tribe of the forest always keeps a word once spoken.”
“Nothing. You’ll be fine.”
Jinhyeok smiled.
The corners of his mouth twitched as he thought of the punishment he would already do.
Likewise, Teslon was drunk with an early victory and had a fishy smile.
A bet on the pride of the two races began, expecting different endings.
“The sport is archery. In other words, archery.”
Theslon pointed to the island where the fig trees were.
On the island about 700m away, several trees were hanging down in a row.
“Among the trees you see there, the tree at the end is already dead.”
“You mean it’s okay to shoot with a bow?”
“okay. The target is that tree. The side that misses the arrow loses.”
“What if both miss?”
“I will never miss, but in that case, I will consider the one who shot the arrow closer to win.”
“okay.”
Jinhyeok nodded and received a suitable bow from Sylvia.
“Are you really okay? Teslon-sama is the best archer among us.”
“That’s what I know roughly.”
but.
“Shooting well with an arrow and winning a match are two different things.”
“What is that…?”
Sylvia asked again, but Jinhyeok smiled mischievously and turned around.
Now it’s time to tear down that icy dwarf’s face.
