Chapter 75: Finally a Tutorial (17)

Hawa didn’t cliuided the search party into the canyon After wandering through the maze-like canyon for a while, they reached a dried-up valley and scaled the cliff between it and another valley Thus coged There was htest reat care in every step he took Although Chi-Woo hadn’t expected to walk through a nice, well-established path, he hadn’t expected the path to be so harsh

As expected of heroes that awakened their powers, the Ru siblings didn’t haveHawa also had little trouble since she had been trained since her youth, and she swiftly cli The only two people having probleo over a rock on a slope, they tensed up first Still, the Ru siblings were always there to help the Although they couldn’t be sure of it yet, they could be infiltrating into an ene theti was difficult work, and they soon becaed anxiety Their hair and entire body were soaked in sweat, and their er do we have to go?’ Chi-Woo cursed inside his rabbed onto Ru Amuh’s hand to cliround again, he found a coh it was still bumpy, the fact that he wasn’t on a steep slope made it feel like he was in heaven

“Why don’t we rest a bit?” Ru A his breath Chi-Woo instantly sat down like he had been waiting for thishi onto Ru Hiana’s hand, looking very pale

‘Why is this re me of my time in the army?’ Chi-Woo hadn’t expected to participate in such an intense rock-cliue out and heaved while looking through his backpack He took a gulp froaze on him Hahose co at hirasped it Chi-Woo smirked as he watched her clean the bottle’s top before drinking froh, he looked up to the faraway clouds above the mountain’s peak It was fortunate that he had at least done so to this place His cardiovascular systethened over the past month, which allowed hi, he would’ve collapsed a long ti Mount Everest’ While those useless thoughts whirling in his ot up to look down at the distance he had cliress that they could no longer see their starting point The gorge that had looked so big fro dizzy from the view, Chi-Woo quickly backed away, but then he felt someone tap on his back He turned around and saoman with a blonde ponytail: Ru Hiana Chi-Woo was about to speak, but stopped hiainst her lips For sooing on?’ Chi-Woo tilted his head and looked to where Ru Hiana was pointing with her index finger Chi-Woo goggled when he saw the subject of her attention

‘What? That’s…’

It was a bird, or at least an anieon was looking around its surroundings on top of a boulder and pecking the ground every now and then

‘There’s a bird…on Liber’ Now that he thought about it, Chi-Woo realized that he hadn’t seen a bird or other ani to Liber It was alwaysthus rose in his heart when he saw this bird, followed by another carnal desire: hunger

‘Hoill that bird be…cooked inside an oven?’ He wanted the meat cooked properly rather than dried jerky; he wanted to taste its juicy flesh as oil dripped down its skin His ht It seemed Chi-Woo wasn’t the only one who felt this way as Ru Hiana wiped her an approaching the bird one step at a ti slowly and carefully When she ithin aa sound Silencing even her breath, she reached out with both hands Chi-Woo cheered her on with an anxious expression, while Eshnunna was already thinking of ways to cook the bird if it was caught On the other hand, Haatching the with her face, ‘That’s not how you do it’ Finally, Ru Amuh shi+fted his focus from his map to Ru Hiana with a frown on his face

Perhaps the bird had sensed so at aze sideways before stretching its wings like it was going to fly away Ru Hiana quickly shot out both hands

“Chirp!” The bird chirped and was about to fly when—Ba! There was an explosion, followed closely by a piercing screech

Chi-Woo aled to keep hiswhile he reeled from the sudden noises Ru Hiana was also shocked, frozen with her hands stretched halfway The pupils of her wide-opened eyes shook vigorously The bird ree awl-shaped drill The drill not only pierced the bird, but burrowed deeply into the rock below it Everyone stopped and turned to the thing connected to the drill The drill didn’t co; just like how Ru Hiana had stretched out her hands to catch the bird, somebody else had reached out for the bird Attached to the drill was a long, rubbery appendage that looked too strange to be called an arm, and yet there seemed to be no other way to describe it

Screech, Screech

It sounded like soround Soon afterward, a figure ca down the , stretched-out arure that ca that it was difficult to describe it ords It had a face that resembled a sea lion’s, and it had no eyes No, upon closer inspection, it appeared to have two tiny beady eyes the size of beans that were barely noticeable Two large canine teeth just like an elephant’s ivory tusks stuck out from its mouth, and its body looked like a slab of skin wrapped around a long vertebra sloping down vertically Rib bones wrapping around its upper torso twitched nonstop like living tentacles, and at the end of both of its ars were as thick as tree trunks, large enough to be likened to the thighs of a King Kong Above all, the ht alone looked to be over 3 or 4 meters tall

‘A mutant? No’ Chi-Woo frowned The cursed ones and the mutants still had remnants from their human days, while the monster in front of them didn’t show any identifiable human features It was simply adown, Ru Hiana drew her sword But Ru A

‘Why?’ Ru Hiana mouthed, confused Ru Amuh shook his head slowly and warily looked at the monster

Thump, thump, thump, thuht in front of Ru Hiana It pulled out the drill stuck in the rock and lifted the bird right to its face Then it opened its s on the roof of its mouth were clearly visible The monster pushed the bird deep into its mouth and bit down

Crunch, crunch!

The sound of theits food echoed The bird’s blood dripped down on Ru Hiana’s face nobody moved even an inch; they all just blankly stared at the monster like a rock They didn’t knohy, but they felt a strong sense of foreboding that if they moved even a little bit, they would end up like the bird

There was certainly soh the exploration teaht in front of it—thedown, and Ru Hiana was even kneeling right in front of him—the monster acted like it couldn’t see them Theits head around as if it ondering where its prey was
