Chapter 47. The Wild Forest (4) (1/2)
Crackle, crackle
The forest was covered in darkness In a clearing, two men sat in front of a bonfire They were fro the southern area of the forest
“Yawn Sunbae, aren’t you tired?”
“Sure I auard duty”
“True” The hubae looked around his other sunbaes They were all fast asleep “Looks like the other sunbaes aren’t worried But if the dark elves happen to make a surprise attack…”
“Surprise attack? Hey, these are dark elves we’re talking about,” the sunbae replied while grilling cheese on a stick “Dark elves gave in to the temptation of power and became corrupted because they nibbled on the branches of the World Tree They did become powerful, but they were cursed by the Tree and their intellect was taken away Forget following orders, they can barely cost themselves There’s no way they would be able to act as an army”
“But isn’t it likely that we’ll encounter the the day?”
“Even if that’s true, they act on their own, so we’ll probably only see one or two at most”
“Hm, well, we can handle that et your panties in a twist” At that moment, there was a sound of movement in the thicket
“Shhh” The sunbae held his finger to his lips and turned toward the sound
—Grrr
—Krrr
It sounded like the growl of a dog Red eyes started to appear in the darkness, staring at thehtened hubae reached for their weapon, but the sunbae smiled
“Geez, that scared s?”
“Yeah, Wolfdogs We call theet scared easily, so they’re not very dangerous”[1]
“Still…I’m a little scared because there are so onna be a Player if you get scared of those tiny things? They’re scared of fire too”
They placed the cheese down andit into the bushes
“Shoo, shoo The onna cry?” The sunbae laughed at their cute reaction, and the hubae tilted their head “Are you sure they’re scared of fire?”
“Why, can’t trust me?”
“It’s not that…” The hubae’s eyes ide as they watched the Woldogs’ red eyes get bigger and bigger They were coed from the bush and stepped on the torch
“”
The sunbae see, and their face paled “Wake the others”
“W-what?”
“Wake the others! Now!”
They were being surrounded by dark elves
Beep— Beep—
Seo Jun-Ho’s eyes opened at the sound of the alarthe area
“Oh, you’re awake?” Seo Mi-Rae said in a friendly voice She had uard duty
“What’s the situation like?”
“Nothing special has happened so far”
“How about the other parties?”
“People on night watches have been posting updates to the coht now, so they’ll be popping up again in two minutes”
Seo Jun-Ho walked over to the caram screen
‘Seems like no one’s been attacked yet’
Was he mistaken? As he wrinkled his forehead, the clock hit 2
“Now, let’s see” Seo Mi-Rae finishedher report and blinked at the screen “Huh?”
No e, no new posts appeared She tilted her head “That’s strange Is there a probleic network…?”
“No,” Seo Jun-Ho said flatly
shi+ng
He unsheathed his sword and stared into the dark forest
“They were probably caught by those bastards”
“Those bastards…?” Seo Mi-Rae looked up, but she only saw the forest Seo Jun-Ho was looking at soht Thanks to Hunter’s Night (A), all his stats were up by 10 and all his senses were sharp
‘Four legs and red eyes…they’re Woldogs’
Woldogs had high endurance and speed, but htened and had low combat skills
But of course, it was true Even if they were gathered together, they weren’t dangerous if you just waved a torch around
‘But that only applies to wild Woldogs’
If they were ‘raised’ by someone else, they became a whole different monster
‘They’re like horses’
Horses were tahtened by nature, but if they were trained, they could beco”
“Co? What are you…”
Rustle
Before she could finish her sentence, the trees started to shake under a powerful wind Seo Jun-Ho gripped Black Dragon and glanced at her
‘This will be Black Dragon’s firstbetter’
He took a step forward
“Wake Tea serious? But I don’t…”
Just as she was about to say, ‘I don’t see anything’…
