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’=””>

Waaaaaaaang
A sical item
At the saish
‘There we go’
The corners of his mouth lifted to form a sly smile
