191. Raid
“What’s going on… Is it a traffic accident?”
The three of them approached the broken wagon.
The appearance of the wagon is a design that can be easily seen in Azul Continent, and it was in a state of prostrate on the floor as if it had received a big shock.
“It’s not a traffic accident, it’s an assault.”
You can get a rough idea of what happened here by the blood splattered all around the wagon.
“Oh, a little further from here is a stable…”
“It happens often in Azul Continent.”
It is not uncommon for travelers and adventurers to die right in front of the safety of villages, stables, inns, and campsites.
Kreung Kreureung!
At the same time, the cries of animals were heard from all directions.
“That’s the cry of a certain monster!”
“As expected, they were lurking around…”
The monsters that appeared from the bush were a pack of wolves.
However, it is not an ordinary wolf, but a bizarre monster with spider-like legs all over its body.
“It’s a black spider wolf.”
“Ha, isn’t it one or two?”
A group of black spider wolves immediately surrounded Kang Seung-hyeon and his party.
“It has a paralyzing poison, so be careful not to get hurt.”
“Paralytic poison?”
“Those guys are the type to anesthetize their prey and keep it fresh, so if they get caught, they’ll die watching their bodies being eaten vividly.”
“It’s horrifying to hear!”
Hojeong Kim screamed in horror.
“Ziggs! Do something with the invincible horse golem!”
“All right.”
“No, put it off for now.”
Ziggs was about to return to the carriage, but Kang Seung-hyeon stopped him.
“yes? But…”
“If the horse golem rampages here, the carriage in the back will be swept away.”
I haven’t checked properly yet if there are any survivors. If you release the horse golem here, the carriage will disappear along with the monster.
“So we’ll take care of it this time.”
[Summons Freea’s crossbow.]
Kang Seung-hyun took out Freea’s crossbow as if he had been waiting for this timing.
“That’s right, this is what adventurers specialize in!”
Kim Ho-jeong took out his golden glory and faced the black spider wolf.
“It’s definitely not a situation where I’m going to use a wide area. I would like to ask you two.”
“Did you mean to write a wide-area spell?”
“Everyone get ready.”
kong!
Bigger!
A group of black spider wolves rushed at the three people with a cry as a signal.
“come!”
They showed their sharp teeth and attacked Kim Ho-jung, who was in front.
“Kim Ho-jeong, cover that with your arm.”
“What?”
Hearing Kang Seung-hyeon’s words, Kim Ho-jung was naturally puzzled, but
said, “I don’t know what it is, but you’re right!”
He immediately changed his mind and blocked the spider wolf’s teeth with his arm instead of golden glory.
“Even if I get poisoned, the teacher will cure me, right?”
“Don’t worry about that.”
In the meantime, Seunghyun Kang pulled the trigger of the crossbow.
One of the common misunderstandings of people who see spider wolves for the first time is ‘If you get bitten by them, you will be poisoned’.
“Their teeth are fake.”
“Pe Fake?”
In fact, spider wolves’ teeth are not poisonous.
In addition, his teeth and grip were weak compared to wolves, so he couldn’t do much damage to Kim Ho-jeong, a tank adventurer.
“The real one is this way.”
PABABABABAK!!!
The arrow fired by Kang Seung-hyeon pierced the spider’s leg, not the black spider wolf’s face.
Pagak Pagak!
“Break it up!”
The spider’s legs snapped mercilessly, spraying bodily fluids.
“Was it that?”
Yes.
The organs that spider wolves use to poison other creatures are spider legs, not teeth.
“Actually, this isn’t a bridge.”
What sprouted on the spider wolf’s body is a kind of tactile organ, antennae.
At first glance, it looks like a wolf with spider legs attached, so it was named ‘Spider Wolf’, but in reality it was a monster that had nothing to do with spiders.
“Unlike the teeth, these antennae are dangerous enough to be poisoned even if you brush them.”
The downside is that it is very slow.
So, the spider wolf uses a method of attacking with antennae after pretending to poison it by biting it with its teeth.
PABABABAK!!
“Break! Kang!”
“Ka-gang!”
The black spider-wolf, whose antennae had been cut off, howled in pain and rolled across the floor. This is because their antennae are very sensitive organs.
“I will take care of the antennae, so Kim Ho-jung should finish it.”
“Oooh!”
Kim Ho-jung swung his golden glory and took care of the black spider wolf that was rolling on the floor.
baek!
Quick!
“Spider-wolf monsters have bizarre appearances, so it’s not a big deal if you know how to attack them.”
“Ah, no matter how well you know the strategy.”
Ziggs, who was watching from behind, opened his mouth with a blank face.
“It is not easy to deal with dozens of poisonous monsters. Fighting while protecting someone…”
Even Kang Seung-hyun and his party fought while protecting Ziggs behind them.
From the standpoint of the parties, it can only be surprising.
“You are so wonderful.”
“Well, I caught a lot of guys worse than this.”
Seunghyun Kang laughed and pulled the trigger.
-After a while.
Thanks to the two’s efforts, the group of black spider wolves was wiped out.
“I might be able to finish this.”
“Whew, it’s just over.”
Kim Ho-jeong sighed and sat down on the floor.
“Now that we’ve dealt with the monsters, let’s look at the broken wagon.”
“Are there people?”
“There is one over here.”
Kang Seung-hyeon looked under the broken carriage.
“there is?”
“I am not a survivor.”
Underneath the wagon lay a body presumed to be a passenger.
His whole body was covered in blood, and it was so horrible that there was no need to explain it.
“You must have been attacked by that spider wolf earlier, right?”
“…the body is badly mutilated, so it seems highly likely.”
Ziggs looked at the corpse and replied with a confused face.
Facing the dead is a common sight in the Azul Continent, but it’s not something you can get used to.
“My gender is male and I am in my late 30s. It’s hard to recognize because the face is a mess.”
Of course, since it was a very familiar sight, Kang Seung-hyeon inspected the corpse without changing his expression.
This man seemed to have stopped breathing before Kang Seung-hyun and his party arrived.
“How can you not?”
“If he had breath, he would have saved it somehow, but from here on, it’s the necromancer’s territory.”
“Oh, it’s too late.”
“That’s not my area to interfere.”
Kang Seung-hyeon let go of his hand without hesitation.
A wild healer only needs to fix people well.
“If we didn’t ride the horse golem carriage, it would have turned out like this.”
“You must have gotten off and hit the monsters as you always did.”
“Then it must have taken a long time…”
You can see how comfortable and powerful the horse golem wagon is, which wipes out monsters with a headbutt even when they attack.
“Is Harvey the monster who developed this?”
“It is a monster.”
It can be seen from the fact that such a convenient horse golem was not popularized in the Azul continent.
Because it was something only Harvey could create.
“If only I had a good personality… tsk tsk.”
“Still, you’re better than a disciple.”
“Isn’t it out at the point of being compared to criminals in terms of personality?”
Kim Ho-jung laughed as if it were absurd and took out a shovel.
It seems that he intends to remove the broken wagon and bury the corpse.
“Shouldn’t we get rid of the wagon first? I can’t get past this.”
“In fact, it is theoretically possible to push it with our wagon.”
“That’s a bit… too much.”
I confirmed that there were no survivors, but it is not the right thing to push a wagon with a wagon.
“I’ll just clean it up.”
“All right. I’ll take care of the body.”
While Kim Ho-jung was removing the carriage, Jiggs took care of the coachman’s corpse.
“Since we’ve wiped out all the monsters around here, can we simply report it to the Adventurer’s Guild?”
“I can tell you that there was a wagon accident due to a monster attack.”
The two concluded that and tried to continue what they were doing.
“No, it’s not a monster raid.”
However, Kang Seung-hyeon, who was carefully examining the carriage, shook his head.
“ok? What are you talking about?”
“I used the [Observation Eye] because I thought something was weird.”
Kang Seung-hyeon’s eyes began to float information over the corpse, shining blue.
[Severely mutilated body]
[Half of the body is crushed]
[Death before being crushed by a carriage.]
“There is no paralysis keyword in the information message.”
If it had been attacked by a black spider wolf, it should have been paralyzed, but this corpse was not paralyzed.
“I didn’t get hit by a black spider wolf.”
“Then you didn’t get hit by another monster?”
Kim Ho-jung pointed to the broken carriage.
The wagon is loaded with wooden boxes.
“This is a wagon used for transporting goods. I haven’t touched anything, so I don’t think I’ve met a group of bandits…
”
Seunghyun Kang opened the wooden box in the corner.
“It’s beef jerky in this box.”
It was filled with well-dried beef jerky.
If they were really attacked by monsters, there was no way they would leave food alone.
“Especially if it’s a wolf with a good sense of smell.”
“If so?”
“It’s a stomach. I got caught for being clumsy.”
Not touching the wagon stuff is a trick that makes it look like you’ve been hit by a monster.
Of course, the monsters around here don’t have the intelligence to plot such cunning tricks.
“The culprit is not a monster.”
It was undoubtedly a human who attacked the wagon.
“Then, the thieves are the culprits?”
“If I did, I would have taken everything.”
Seunghyun Kang looked at the blood that splattered around the wagon.
No matter how you look at it, it’s not blood that comes from a single person.
“If stealing isn’t the goal, what is?”
“There must have been at least three or four passengers in the wagon. But the fact that only one body remains…”
“That means he was kidnapped.”
Ziggs opened his mouth with a stiff face.
It seems that everyone in this carriage has been taken somewhere.
“Well, it’s a common thing in this neighborhood… People’s lives are worth living here.”
“It’s not common.”
Kidnapping people without touching objects at all. Even while faking it as a monster raid accident.
No matter how you look at it, it’s a suspicious situation.
“What the hell is it then…”
“Well. There must be a reason.” Then,
raindrops
started to fall from the sky.
“I was fine until now.”
“I’m going to pour this. There is a stable nearby, so it would be better to move there.”
“That would be better. I have to stay up all night to go to Hind today anyway.”
The three of them went back to the carriage to get out of the rain and head to the stable.
“huh?”
Just before boarding the carriage, Kang Seung-hyun found something shiny in the grass.
“What is this?”
