Chapter 5 (2/2)

He drew a clear line

Everyone had to be responsible for their own items that they find

After walking for a bit, Muyoung pointed towards a tree

“If you look carefully, you will find trees with exceptionally green and round leaves All the things growing from this tree are beneficial However, youtrees that are poisonous”

He took couple of the

It was a white moss-like mushroom that helped with blood circulation

Taehwan spoke

“Can we grab them?”

“Store as much as you can”

It was a rare tree found in this forest known as the ‘Sacred Tree’

‘We were lucky’

It was uncertain if they will see this tree again

They had to take as many as they could while they had the chance

“Look dad, it’s a mushroom”

“I think it will be delicious if we grill it”

“I’ll cook it into so tasty for you”

Suzy excitedly stored lots of

‘Footsteps’

As others hurried to grab theand looked for any traces around the tree with his hands

He then found a scratch made by an animal with three claws

‘It must be the territory of the Three-clawed Shrewmouse’

The topography changes every ht

If they had simply remembered the places they have been, they would be screwed

So it was a must to check whose territory they were in

Also, because the Three-clawed Shrewroups, they were quite hard to deal with

Even though they were only about knee-high, they had sharp teeth and were very fast

‘If I ree type ical item in their territory’

Storage type ical items were very important

Depending on their grade, the amount of items one could store varied

If people didn’t store their belongings in a storage type eted by others

Of course, the Shrewle territory They lived in a few different areas so he couldn’t be sure if he would find it here, but it was still worth a try

‘This ’

Muyoung knitted his brow after seeing all the traces nearby

By the looks of it, it seemed like there weren’t just a few tens, or a few hundreds even

He estimated that there were at least three thousand of these Shrew in this territory

It was best to quickly accooals and leave

“If you’re all done gathering, we should start ”

Muyoung told them to hurry up

“Ahhhhhhhh!”

“Get the fuck away! fuck off!”

Twoout loud

A brief moment of inattentiveness led them to be surrounded by Shrewmice

Tsk

Muyoung clicked his tongue

If it was his in an instant

Unfortunately, it was impossible in his current state

‘Maybe, it was for the best’

He couldn’t avoid it

Therefore, it was better to use it as an advantage

Especially when some stats increase more rapidly in these type of situations

If he looked at it simply as a way to temper his body, it was actually more beneficial

Muyoung raised his scimitar

“Bring it on!”

He shouted loudly to get their attention

It was a dangerous ht with all he had, it wasn’t impossible to win

Screech Screech

One of the Shrewmice fell down from above

While falling, the ’s neck

Slash!+

Starting by leaving an air hole in the belly of thestarted to kill mercilessly

A number a bit less than 150

He had to take out one mouse per strike

Muyoung started to collect all the ical items that poured out as he killed the Shrewmice one by one

<ical item=”” information=””>

Name: Shrewmouse’s Strike

Rank: F

Classification: Single Use

Effect: For one time only, you can have the same effect as a Shrewmouse’s scratch

It was just an F rank

It was the lowest rank with barely any effect

On average, one dropped for every two Shrewmice he killed

The reason why he ical ite the Shrewmouse was because they stacked up If you look at the item individually, they are useless, however, when you collect 5, the story changes

<you have=”” collected=”” 5=”” ‘shrewmouse’s=”” strike’=””>

<the 5=”” ‘shrewmouse’s=”” strike(f)’=”” has=”” now=”” evolved=”” to=”” ‘shrewreat=”” strike(e)’=””>

The naed as well as their rank

‘Spell enchantment’

In the Underworld, people referred it as ‘Spell enchantment’

By collecting 5 of the saical item, it allowed the iteer effect, or sometimes an item with much different effect

‘Not yet’

However, it wasn’t an item he was pleased with

Screech!

He couldn’t afford to waste anymore time in this situation

His shi+rt was torn near his bellybutton by a Shrewh

Blood dripped from the red streaks that appeared all over his body

However, he didn’t care

Muyoung was used to these life threatening battles

He pushed himself further

Even though he was able to dodge all their attacks easily, he waited for their attacks and counterattacked them only when they were very close to him

‘If you endure these dangers, your Agility will increase’

Agility stats didn’t just increase your ability to move faster

It was considered the 3rd eye

The coility

To increase his Agility stat, he had to put more pressure on himself in these situations

Creak!

Screech!

The Shrewathered towards him

They recognized that Muyoung was the erous one out of them

Muyoung kicked their carcasses in order to create a makeshi+ft barrier

Being vulnerable all around was the worst He needed to at least keep a side blocked to stop the at him on all sides

He slashed his sci around

Gaak!

The mouse that tried to bite doith his wide h his neck

Slash!+

As he pulled out his scimitar, blood scattered everywhere

Muyoung was getting exhausted

However, Muyoung didn’t stop He athered around him

Even though he was s’s movements were still the same

His instincts took over the body as he lost half his sense of reason

And so, he was able to kill more than 70 Shrewmice

<you have=”” collected=”” 5=”” ‘shrewreat=”” strike’=””>

<the 5=”” ‘shrewreat=”” strike(e)’=”” has=”” now=”” evolved=”” to=”” ‘shrewmouse’s=”” cry=”” (d)’=””>

Waaaaaaaang

A sical item

At the saish

‘There we go’

The corners of his mouth lifted to form a sly smile
