Chapter 50 - Howl (1) (2/2)

I advanced to the right of the crossroad alongside my father.

There was still some excess room on the road.

It was probably wide enough to fit around three adults?

After walking for a while, a black object was squirming around in the corner of the road.

“Umm, Mikuma. I found something monster-like.”

“It appeared, eh? Monsters are defense mechanisms brought forth by dungeons. Since they have no will, they can only attack reflexively, so walk as unnoticeable as possible. What does it look like?”

Err, I wonder what.

Overall, a bag?

An extremely revolting and undulating meat bag.

“Disgusting.”

“Is it a Dark Meat? I’ve heard that it has a pretty disgusting appearance. It’s not very strong, but it’s troublesome if it gets split. Let’s go without entertaining it. Their movement is very slow, so I think it’ll be easy to slip by.”

I understand.

You don’t even want to touch a creature that repulsive.

“Father, let’s go.”

“Wow, I’ll be damned, it’s like straight out of a nightmare.”

Don’t say it, I’m trying to forget.

I progressed nervously past the side of the Dark Meat, and after a while, we arrived at the next crossroad.

“Yup, it matches. Take the right again, I think you should be able to see pools of water and waterfalls ahead of this.”

We went right as asked, and eventually, like Mikuma said, we heard the sound of waterfalls.

We arrived at a slightly open place and saw the waterfall.

“I guess you can call this a waterfall…”

“Mikuma, is this right, it’s more like a leak?”

That was father’s perplexed voice.

It was a place where the water flowing from the low ceiling had accumulated on the ground.

The scale was too small to be called a waterfall.

I can’t see the waterfall.

“The information from the internet said that it was a waterfall. There should be a question mark behind it.”

“The pool of water there is a transition trap. It seems like it’s the type that activates when both feet touch the ground. The initial hunters didn’t want to get wet, so it wasn’t discovered until later on.”

When I looked at the depth of the pool of water, it looks like it’ll come up to my knees.

Well of course you wouldn’t want to get wet in this early stage.

“Because there is no water supply and refilling in the lower hierarchy, there is nothing like that. Stay vigilant when transferring, there’s a lot of cases of people being attacked immediately after the transfer.”

“Roger that.”

I sent a look at my father.

He nodded quietly and both of us resolved ourselves and went into the pool of water.

I started immersing from my right foot, then slowly with my left foot.

The instance the tip of my left foot entered, everything in front of my eyes started spinning.

“Woah!”

“Ooh!”

The two raised pathetic voices.

Soon our vision stabilized.

“Gahhhh!!”

“Wah!”

Two large wolves were before our eyes.

Lying in wait.
