Chapter 13 (2/2)
As Muyoung gave hiood that you’re so open-? The winner will be whoever catches a ‘Dwarf Squirrel’, that lives throughout forest, first The tiht”
“Isn’t that too advantageous for you?”
“I will start 6 hours after you”
The Guide stated with ease
He looked confident as if he could never lose
Hunting was second nature to him
He was one of the few predators that hunted day and night
It was daytime at the moment, but due to the characteristics of dark elves, he would be able to see clearly in the dark He had to catch the squirrel as fast as he could
‘I have to use his coe’
Muyoung started to move after he nodded his head
Since he said he would start 6 hours later, Muyoung planned to hunt it down before then
Although it does live throughout the forest, just like its name, it was only around the size of a thumb
Unless one had extraordinary senses and sight, it would be very difficult to hunt them
However, Muyoung knehat Dwarf Squirrels liked to eat
‘Dwarf Squirrels like to eat Dark Red Fighter Ant eggs’
It wasn’t hard
In the past, he used to catch a lot of them for assassinations
Since these squirrels were small and fast, they were quite useful for information warfare
Muyoung searched for an ant hill and lit a fire Once the ants were dazed, he swiftly took out their eggs
He then made a simple trap and waited for a Dwarf Squirrel to come
‘Now’
Thud!
After waiting around 2 hours, a cowardly Dwarf Squirrel slowly approached the eggs
He didn’t lose that chance and dropped the grass woven basket He had successfully captured the squirrel
He waited for the allotted 6 hours to pass before returning to the Guide When he arrived, the Guide opened his eyes widely and trembled
“Th-this… is invalid I didn’t even get to start!”
“I have the saood”
“Of course it was like that! Haha, quite the flexible fellow Then, let’s forget about hunting and do a treasure hunt I placed a few strips of red fabric around this place If you are able to find 3 of them before the sun rises tomorrow, it will be your win If you fail, it will be my win”
“Fine”
“Then I guess I’ll go prepare my dinner Huhu”
This ti to fail and felt confident
‘Luckily it’s a wager I know’
Muyoung had sufficient past knowledge about this wager
‘If I ice, it said that he would give me a useful treasure’
There was a reason why he didn’t end it at the first wager
He once assassinated a ainst the Guide
In his history, there was detailed information about the events that unfolded and once the man ice, he received the ‘Glass of Fire’
The Glass of Fire contained a mid-ranked fire spirit which could spit out an unlimited amount of flames
However, ould happen if he won all three wagers?
As there weren’t even ruhtly curious
Muyoung grabbed a
“Kking Kking, avoid places with lots of round”
Kking Kkiiiing
Theskill to look for the fabric, but Muyoung had the Shrew
Kking Kking was especially specialized in finding
Its nose was uish even the smallest difference in scents
It was largely due to Kking Kking that he was able to safely arrive at this place
‘The probleic traps If I mishandle them, I will die’
The Guide hated losing to an extreme
He would rather see Muyoung die than lose
Unfortunately, Kking Kking was able to avoid those places and only find the strips of red fabric
Knock knock
After an hour, Muyoung knocked on the door of the wooden house
“Huh? Are you giving up already?”
“Three strips I found them”
“What…?”
The Guide blinked his eyes and stared at Muyoung’s hand
There were exactly three strips of red fabric
“Hu…”
“Are you going to call this wager invalid as well?”
“Th-that, that’s not it, but I casted stealthto see you found them already”
“If you want, I can do the next wager as well”
“Is that true!”
The Guide cheered
His pride wouldn’t let him lose like this
“When the sun rises tomorrow, let’s have you hide and I’ll try to find you”
“Can’t you use ic? It should be easy to find me”
“I vow in the naer! I will simply use my physical capabilities to search for you”
“How long do I have to hide?”
“I will admit defeat if I can’t find you by sunset How about it?”
“Good”
It was prettywas most confident in this field
It won’t be as perfect as what as he could accomplish before, but he definitely had the skills to fool one dark elf
As soon as the day passed, Muyoung stepped out into the forest
After cli a suitable tree, he closed his eyes and slowed his heartbeat
‘Become one with nature’
There were different stages of stealth
If one practiced to an extre, they were able to become one with nature at will
However, without a practiced body, it was uncertain if he could hide fro time
Fifty-fifty
He was ga on that fifty-fifty chance and he even constricted the ans
He even controlled the unconsciouscreature would make
In the past he could move in this state, but currently if he was to ht by the Guide
He wasfrom the wind
A few hours have passed
And… dinner time arrived
Thud!
As soon as the agreed ti dropped from the tree
Thereafter, he went inside the Guide’s house and started to eat the prepared food when the Guide opened the door
“Why are you here…!”
Gulp!
After sing the meat he stabbed with a fork, he answered, “They say it’s easy to miss what is in front of you”
He acted like he left the central area, but in fact, he didn’t even leave the center
Fro was most confident in
The Guide never thought he would lose due to the special traits of dark elves, but as soon as he chose this wager, his loss was determined
Unaware of this fact, the Guide searched the area where he expected Muyoung to hide
As he realized this, his legs wobbled
“… I, I lost”
Only then did he acknowledge complete defeat
