Chapter 74 - Changed People in the Changed World (6) (1/2)
When they watched one of his gang members beaten helplessly like that, the gang members began to move. One of them pulled out a long wand and fired something at Jisu.
Poooooh!
It was a circular flame, often called a ‘Fireball’.
However, Jisu swung the sword to blow out the flames. They scattered in the air.
“Attack her!”
Two of them picked up daggers, while the others were about to shoot crossbows at her back.
“What the heck is this?”
Right at that moment, Hanho threw daggers at them quickly, which hit their necks accurately.
In the meantime, Jisu knocked two daggers out of the air. She circled around them once then swung the sword twice. The next moment, an arm of one and a foot of the other were severed.
“Ahhhhh!”
“Uahhhhh!”
As soon as the four of them collapsed, the remaining gang members had to change their fighting tactics.
“Oh, don’t approach! I’m going to cut this guy, son of a bitch!”
“Minjoon!”
Actually one of the gang members put the knife to Minjoon’s neck. Sungwoo and his party had no choice but to stop.
“Damn it! Where did you come from, you wretched thugs?” the guy holding Minjoon shouted.
Obviously, the gang members already lost their will to fight because threatening Minjoon, their hostage, with a knife meant they regarded him as their last means of survival.
Wearing the newly acquired item, “Shadow King’s Robes,” Sungwoo looked around. A freight truck parked on the road, backlit in the sun, was casting a long shadow.
Sungwoo walked into the shadow.
“….Uh?”
As soon as he walked into the long shadow, he disappeared.
“Where did he disappear?”
“What, what the heck? Is he trying to trick us?”
“Watch out!”
They began to look everywhere in confusion. However, they couldn’t find him anywhere.
Pik! Pik! Pik! Pi! Pik!
At that moment, something flew out from the shadow at random. They were arrows.
Since they didn’t expect such an attack, the gang members collapsed helplessly, and those who escaped death lowered themselves and hid behind the motorcycles.
Fortunately, they forgot to hold Minjoon, who quickly hurried toward Sungwoo’s party.
“Damn it! You lost him!”
“Man, do you think that’s important now?”
In no time Sungwoo, with his dark green robe fluttering, jumped out of the shadow, holding a black sword.
-You earned 8,000 gold by killing a player.
Sungwoo’s opponent was a player with level 8. Although his level was far from low, he could not deal with Sungwoo’s attack, who bolted out of the shadow suddenly.
“Ahhhhh!”
“Let’s get out of this place! We’ll come back to take revenge!”
The surviving bikers hurriedly got on their motorcycles, but Sungwoo put his sword in the asphalt and lifted the repeating crossbow that he attached to his waist.
Pik! Pik! Pik!
When the arrow hit the rider’s back, the motorcycle, which he just started, lost balance and slipped on the asphalt.
Bang!
-You have earned 7,000 gold by killing a player.
Sungwoo missed the other three. They ran away like crazy toward the south without looking back.
According to Minjoon, the gangsters seemed to have come from Osan City. They were allegedly constantly wandering in search of the ‘golden deer.’
“What the heck is the golden deer?”
“I don’t know what it is, but don’t you think it’s very precious when you hear that word? It looks like you will get lots of gold if you catch it,” said Taesung casually.
In Sungwoo’s mind, the image of gold was clearly linked to money.
That’s why the biker gang, who apparently knew the value of the golden deer, came up to this area to find it.
“Let’s go back.”
After taking the bodies of the bikers and useful things from their motorcycles, Sungwoo and his party moved back to the village.
Then, they saw the “golden deer”, to their surprise.
“Sungwoo, look at that in the alley over there.”
Jisu whispered to Sungwoo, who then turned his head. There was the ‘golden deer,’ with a curvy and slender figure shining gold.
[Hidden Quest]
-Title: Catch the golden deer that brings good luck!
-Type: Target acquisition
-Goal: Hunt the golden deer
-Reward: Hidden Stage Admission Ticket (1/2)
“Uh?”
“Quest?”
The same message appeared to everyone in Sungwoo’s party who saw the golden deer.
At that moment, the golden deer turned and disappeared into the alley.
“We should catch her, right?”
“Sungwoo, it looks like we’d be a fool if we don’t catch her.”
Sungwoo immediately released the beast skeletons.
