Chapter 5: Hidden Piece (2)
If you left the to die anyways Itthose two
However, Muyoung interpreted the situation differently
‘Quite fierce’
The young girl knew by instinct that following Muyoung was her only way to survive
She had quick wits and was a fast decision maker
Age was not a problem No one here could match up to his standards anyways
If that’s the case, it would be better to choose someone fast-witted
“Anyone else?”
“What do youto either side asked
Muyoung calmly replied, “For three to four hours everyday, you will explore the surroundings and gather anything essential You will hunt if necessary”
What they could earn at the temple was extremely limited
To earn so to accept the risks that follow
The ain
There was nothing you can get for free, at least in the Underworld
“I will volunteer as well”
Surprisingly, Taehwan ht he would continue his rivalry with Jooyoung
“Are you sure? We’re not going out to play,” he replied sarcastically
To hi each other was no different than bantering children
Taehwan nodded his head
“I know it’s a job with ht it was about ti areas It’s not safe to continue to stay in this place we know nothing about”
He thought of others before himself before he made his decision
His kind nor
Nosy people like Taehere usually the first to die
‘But if he survives, he will grow to becoreat influence’
The Dragon Lord was like that
Everyone acknowledged that he had the talent of a real soldier
If he didn’t die by Muyoung’s hands, he would have reat difference
However, it was very rare to find soon Lord
Even if they did survive, in the abyss like the Underworld, 99 of theed personality
Muyoung was skeptical that Taehould survive
‘Things that can be obtained outside the temple’
The reason why Muyoung was gathering people was simple
The rewards he could obtain outside were greater than what he could earn here
Moving luggage, searching and even sleeping, these are better done in a group than by himself
Also, it was better to hunt forthe raids
Primarily, people raise their skills better when they strive for it
By fighting monsters at the te, but it will slowly stagnate
If you didn’t constantly improve your abilities, you wouldn’t be able to survive the harsh realities of the Underworld
It was a struggle to stay alive… but for now, it was ical items hidden outside the temple
‘A e type taliser, Despair Scout’s Gloves, and the Mask of Arrogance… I’ll find as many as I can’
Although Muyoung lostback to the past, he was able to keep his knowledge and experience After killing each of his thousands of targets, he would always read and memorize their history
There were many objects to find outside the temple
It was tiet started
In total, five people volunteered
Muyoung gave each of them a torch
The ends of the torches were smeared with oil
The oil wasthe carcasses of the monsters
“Never lose the torches and the oil can, unless you want to end up as monster fodder”
Unlike the hten up even the darkest nights, here, they could only rely on the torches to see
Most monsters fear fire
At the very least, going around with a torch meant that they would be less likely to be ambushed
Aaround for 3 to 4 hours?”
It was currently early
If they were to explore for 3 to 4 hours, the sun will be at its highest
It seemed like he felt uncoht
But Muyoung said with a firm voice, “We don’t knohat kind of situation ill coraphy will change and if we don’t have the torches then, on’t be able to find our way out”
“What do… you e?”
This time, it was Taehho asked
Of course, they didn’t know
Muyoung decided to use their e
“Like you all thought, I a here for a while”
“So that rumour was true”
When everyone was confused, Muyoung acted as if he kneas going to happen
This is why people assumed that he arrived here before them and had lived at the temple for a while
He told them, “Outside the temple is wilderness itself We won’t have the time to help those who fall behind”
And then, as if he was looking to see their resolve, he examine each of them
He especially carefully exairl, Bae Suzy, and her crippled father for a long time
Having quick as uous skills, but there was the question of the able to keep up in the harsh conditions
As she obviously knehat he ritted her teeth and said, “I’ll do my best So I won’t be a burden to anyone…”
After all, there were no other options for her if she wanted to survive
If she was to lose the chance at being by Muyoung’s side, there wouldn’t be anyone else ould take care of the father-daughter pair
She made up her mind that even if she was to die, she wanted to at least attempt to live
‘She has quite the backbone for her age’
It seemed like she always had a sense of responsibility
Along with her fast wits and decisive decisions, it was surprising to see her adapt so fast for her age
That’s why it was a little unfortunate
If she was a bit older, with a little help, she would have been able to rise to considerable heights
However the Underworld was not a place that a young girl could easily survive on her own
‘Even I don’t have the time to take care of others’
It was a bit unfortunate, but that was it
After exa each and every one of them, he turned his back
“If you don’t want to die, don’t argue with et curious Follow me unconditionally Understand?”
Everyone solemnly nodded their heads
There was nothing more important than words from an expert
Especially after seeing what Muyoung was capable of, at least in the survival aspect, he was a pro
“Then let’s head out”
After preparing their weapons and packing some tools, the torch, and the oil can, they started to move
Crunch!
Muyoung sto his feet
As the fist sized ant exploded, its juices flew everywhere
‘Dark Red Fighter Ant’
It was a big ant that produced neurotoxins If soet bitten, the bite will swell up to multiple times its size and the area would become paralyzed
“Crush every one you see”
He gave out a warning
Although they weren’t life-threatening, if they couldn’t move, they would eventually die
Gulp!
Six people, including Muyoung, cautiously stepped into the forest
They were constantly on high alert and paid sharp attention to their surroundings
“They are already like that”
It was good that they were alert, but if they tried to keep it up for hours, they would be mentally and physically exhausted
Even if Muyoung told them that, they wouldn’t listen
It was because this place was a total mystery to them
It was faster for them to learn from their experiences
“Mister, there’s an item here”
Suzy brought a ical item to him
She found it after crushi+ng a few Dark Red Fighter Ants
‘Paralysis Inducing Magical Item’
It contained the neurotoxin produced by the Dark Red Fighter Ants
In a slightly more refined form
Muyoung grabbed themonsters outside the temple, there will occasionally be items like these For those that wish to use the ite the item with their hands”
He brought out the Water Producing Magical Itean to slowly trickle out
“This is water, but the other one contains neurotoxins It could affect your body, so be careful when handling it”
Afterwards, Muyoung handed the ical item back to Suzy
Suzy tilted her head slightly
“I can keep it?”
“Of course You’re the one who found it, therefore it’s yours”
