How should I track him down?

After thinking about it, I came to a conclusion.

“Can you smell your breath?”

“···Breath odor? Of course I can take it.”

Breath smell. It smells like carbon dioxide.

Its body weighs several tons, and it is a red-meat creature.

If so, he would boast an enormous amount of breathing.

However, now that the sun has set, tracking is impossible.

This is because plants emit carbon dioxide. Even if the day is too hot, plants emit carbon dioxide.

In other words, the time you can track him by the smell of his breath is from 8 to 11 in the morning.

In other words, starting at 8 a.m., they trace back the wind from the top of the mountain and find the smell of Grootsrang’s breath.

After receiving the explanation, Shir tilted his head.

“······Is that possible?”

“Yes. That’s Snally Gaster’s hunting method.”

You have to beat the wind.

If we climb the mountain too fast, the mountain wind will blow and Groots will find us.

We climbed Namsan very leisurely, feeling the wind.

So it’s 8 o’clock in the morning.

After reaching the top of Namsan Mountain, we started tracking the scent of our breath as we descended the mountain. Carbon dioxide also gives off oxygen. Thanks to this, most of the mistakes were made in vain. How many trials and errors did it take?

So now.

We arrived in front of him.

But Shir tilted his head as if he didn’t understand.

“Over there. He’s hiding over there.”

“···Hiding over there?”

“That’s a water wisteria leaf. Raw material for olfactory paralysis poison.”

The sense of smell is an extremely sensitive sense.

So, just by smelling some things, your sense of smell becomes paralyzed.

That’s the crushed water wisteria leaf over there.

His thoroughness has become poison.

I pulled out the Precious Blood syringe strapped to my waist and poured it into the canteen.

Three drops as usual.

Even poison can be cured by adding three drops.

The important thing is how to surprise him.

He must have discovered me and Shir’s scent. By now, they must be suspicious of you not coming closer.

Here, the moment you open the bottle of paralysis poison, the behavior of the person who recognizes the teratological smell is divided into two types. Either run away or jump out and attack.

“I’ll catch it.”

But Shir takes strides forward.

What kind of stroke is this again?

You have to ‘hunt’, not catch!

I shook the canteen and removed the lid halfway.

“Don’t say anything strange and go up the tree.”

“Don’t talk nonsense, just watch.”

Shir suddenly began to step forward.

I grab Shir’s arm—the arm sneakily avoids my hand.

I became desperate and tried to keep walking and catch it, but Shir avoided all my hands.

At some point, I had no choice but to stop.

“Shir, come back.”

Because Shir entered the gap.

“Sihyeon, don’t think too complicatedly.”

“Stop talking nonsense and come back!”

As if my reaction was amusing, Shir walked forward with a smile on his face.

“Look.”

Its hearing is unmatched!

So much so that you can accurately read the other person’s location just by vibration!

It quickly jumped up the tree and applied paralyzing poison to the arrowhead.

I don’t have time to apply them one by one.

He pulled out all the arrows, grabbed them, and sprayed all the paralyzing poison. Instead of applying it to the sword, I stamped it on.

The paralyzing poison splattered on my skin fades my senses.

He quickly washed his hands with the Precious Blood.

I put three arrows on my fingers and prepared for his appearance. I’m not good at shooting with my ring and pinky fingers yet, but a target is a target.

“Shir, it’s not too late. Even Groots and I won’t be so quick to attack you! Just turn around and come here!”

“What do you think? I can’t even die.”

“Hey you crazy bitch! That’s it…!”

Pasrak!

Shir laughed and kicked the bush.

It’s too late now!

If you sow, you will reap!

I took a deep breath and pulled the bowstring.

The effective hit is the eyes.

As soon as it comes out, you have to shoot the first arrow you can best hit at the eye.

Come out…come out…!

·

·

·

Why isn’t it coming?

doesn’t exist···?

Shir, who had been looking down at the place where the bushes had been for a while, looks back at me.

“···There’s nothing?”

uh? That can’t be possible…?

But there isn’t. That was the result.

By any chance, am I mistaken?

“······!”

My face got hot. What a shame…!

And you even cursed! Shir looked at me strangely and started to giggle.

“Aren’t you sure you got it all right?”

Let’s think positively.

Even if it’s not, I’m glad. Anger came at the same time as relief, but even the anger soon disappeared.

At the same time, laughter burst out.

“Hehehehe…”

I’m glad, but I don’t understand anymore.

Why was there a reason to keep water wisteria leaves bunched up in a place like that? There are no water wisteria around here, where did you get them?

Why─── “huh?”

My thoughts were interrupted by Shir’s moans.

“What’s wrong?”

───Rumble!

The soil caved in, and Shir’s lower body fell to the ground. It’s like falling into an ant hell.

“Aaagh-?!”

Shir was literally sucked into the dirt.

“What─ Something is pulling me!”

“Wait!!!”

I threw away my bow and jumped from the tree.

···What am I doing? Why do you go through that gap? I shouldn’t approach you? You’re not immortal and you don’t have a healing factor like Shir!

Shir never dies.

If I got caught up, it would be the end?

bang!

The ground suddenly burst.

It is a huge hand reminiscent of an ogre’s hand.

The huge hand tightly wrapped around Shir.

Wow!

Sur’s arm bone was bent at a bizarre angle and broken. Just like that, Shirr disappeared into the dirt right before my eyes.

“What the fuck… I told you to listen to me!”

Cursing words eventually came out of my mouth and blood rushed to my head.

─Let’s remain calm.

He pulled out his hand and the dirt was crushed finely.

Since the crypt is dug, there will definitely be space inside for Grootslang to pass through.

Even if it looks like it’s caved in right now, it’s not actually like that.

The important thing is that the inside of the crypt cannot be wide.

If Grootsrang extends his jaw, he will most likely be bitten.

I didn’t think I would have time to drink inside, so I put water from the canteen into my mouth and held it in.

Just that alone gives me strength.

This is completely different from the secretion of adrenaline and the use of internal energy. When I jump into the dirt that has cracked and caved in, my feet are dented.

In that position, he literally dug into the ground like a dog.

Through the fine dirt, a huge arm was revealed.

It’s a trap!

The moment I take my foot out, it starts writhing and tries to grab me.

If you get caught, you will explode and die!

I jumped backwards and fell backwards at the same time.

─Paddeuk!

The sound of bones crunching inside my body that only I can hear. My thighs buckled just from the touch of those huge fingertips.

Even before the pain came, I swallowed the Precious Blood.

“───────────?!!!!”

Still, the pain came.

I gritted my teeth and swallowed my screams.

My femur is broken…! Once the treatment with the Holy Blood is completed, even the pain disappears.

But the pain didn’t go away.

‘There’s no time to wait for recovery!’

I stabbed the holy blood from the syringe right into my thigh.

Suddenly, the thought that I could die in this place occurred to me, and I drank up all the foul, fishy blood.

Immediately, my strength began to rise.

It feels like something more than adrenaline is rushing through my body. I felt like I could do anything.

‘Let’s calm down.’

This is just a mental boost, and I know best that I will not become immortal.

The brain does not understand the concept of denial.

The moment you think of negativity, a lag occurs in your actions, and you are most efficient when you only affirm your goal.

So, a fighter does not think about losing.

So the prosecutor does not turn his back.

So the animals fight until they die.

Human potential is greater than we think.

This is the type of people who enjoy living. People who live like they are addicted to drugs even if they don’t use drugs.

This is one of the reasons why people take stimulants before war, why a small elite can defeat a large army, and why artists take drugs.

Unwavering positivity toward the goal.

so.

─Let’s kill Grootslang.

Sigh!

I slipped into the crypt he escaped into.

The hyper concentration of drugs gives me cat-like reflexes.

The inside of the crypt was pitch-black.

Wedge!

The snake-like Iduak was shot at me. I didn’t know it was slow. I knew it because it was so fast. I twisted my body indiscriminately at the sound of air being torn apart.

As a result, Iduak missed.

I dodged that Iduak, hugged him, and stabbed him several times with my dagger, as if throwing shallow jabs.

Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff!

Wow!

Iduak twitches and blood bursts out.

It was as if a human wrist artery had been torn. It was a refreshing amount of blood loss, befitting a creature that bleeds in tons.

─Buaaaa!!!

The scream coming from its mouth vibrates and travels through its nose. The guy’s blood splattered, but luckily it didn’t splatter on his forehead or eyes.

Boom! Boom!

Iduak approaches with its fangs chattering.

Like a snake. What some people might find scary was a weakness and a gap for me.

‘I’ll make sure you can never use that nose again!’

I grabbed the fangs of a guy the size of my head.

Soon, he stabbed it with a knife and cut the biceps lengthwise like cutting meat.

Buuuck!

The reason why Grootslang’s nose is so fast is because it explodes with compressed force like a spring and fires at once.

To attack like that, you have to retrieve your nose again. If you persistently bend over and try to catch it, it is no different from a snake crawling and licking its mouth.

In other words, they are ignoring me.

Sigh! Sigh! Buuuck! Fu bu bu buk!

‘What kind of life have I lived to be able to walk next to Jules?!’

Are you ignoring me like that?!

I took a step back to avoid the Iduak reaching out to bite me, and stabbed the knife as if throwing a jab. Dozens of times.

The snake-like nose falls back.

I quickly let go of Iduak before he was dragged away by the guy.

Over 30 large and small stab wounds were inflicted in approximately 10 seconds.

The guy has finally become serious.

─Keuuuch?!

Shir’s moans in the darkness urge me.

Since I didn’t know how to ask, I couldn’t confirm where it was coming from.

He could see me with my back to the light, but I couldn’t see him with my back to the light.

The back of my head is cold.

I recklessly fell down to avoid the shooting Iduak.

Boom!

The sound of something thick being shot forward is heard. After an experience that made my heart sink, something warm poured down my back.

Tu-doo-du-du-duk—!

His blood.

Quickly retrieve Iduak before he can be counterattacked.

I could see its iris reflection flashing in the darkness. He’s looking straight into my eyes.

My outline against the light would be clear to him.

I realized that my posture had collapsed!

Stand up quickly── Pow!

A head as big as my head was stuck on my shoulder.

Puddeuddeuk──!

My collarbone is crushed and something digs into my body.

Even though it was only a short time, I could tell that those were its fangs.

“────────?!!”

A sharp pain struck me later.

My mind became sharper and sharper to the point where I felt dizzy.

I stabbed the knife into the guy’s nose.

but.

Boom! Grumble!

“Keueueuuu huh huh──────?!!!”

A cup’s worth of deadly poison was injected, and a burning pain came over me. I gritted my teeth.

─Calm down.

I live. I definitely buy it!

Even if I die, I have to go with that bastard! After a while, its fangs fell out and its nose quickly turned.

Without eating me. why?

As I watched Iduak run away, I had some time to think. ···Why don’t you take me with you?

thud! thud-!

The light coming from the collapsing crypt ceiling illuminates the interior of the crypt. At first, I couldn’t see it because I was so confused, but now that a little bit of light has dawned, I can see it.

Wood-dud-duk–!

It wasn’t that he had given up on me, but he had retrieved his nose to throw away Shir, who had broken Grootslang’s finger.

It seems they shot me with poison and decided that I would die. The struggle was intense.

“You looked at me so funny───?!”

He ran forward with his eyes wide open and threw the dagger.

Grootslang’s burning eyes look this way.

The dagger that flew around while spinning struck the guy’s right eye—-and, as it happened, the handle of the sword hit him.

Buaaa!!!!!

But it was enough to scare him.

It let out a strange scream and eventually let go of Shir.

no.

Rather than letting him go, he collapsed the crypt itself and threw Shir at me.

Shir is rapidly coming to me──

Sigh!

I fell asleep while taking the shirt.

“Hey you crazy bitch! Let’s catch that bastard─?!”

I hugged Shir, who had broken bones, and crawled out of the collapsing crypt.

bang!

Just then, a large figure pops out, breaking the crypt on the other side. Groots limped awkwardly and began to run away to the east.

It was bigger than a regular Grootsrang.

The back of the guy running away, twitching his butt, speaks. He said he was thinking of the concept of denial.

“Catch that───!”

Shir, who was in my arms, ran out faithfully like a hunting dog.

What can I do after that guy?

The voice of the superego that utters such words is as small as a mosquito. The id, which tells you to follow and watch whatever you do, is once again trustworthy.

From the nose I had plucked, blood was flowing that would have killed five people already.

“Keuuch──?!”

The poison spreads and muscle relaxation begins.

The fang bites were stabbed four times, twice in the shape of a cross, to squeeze out as much venom as possible.

Something that looked like yellow oil mixed with blood was leaking out.

Afterwards, he drank all the Precious Blood in the canteen and took a deep breath. I would like to shoot a rifle in rapid succession.

It felt like that.

How can I give him a good hit?

I kept running with only that thought in mind.

I ran and ran.

Before he knew it, Shir was on top of Grootslang’s head and pounded his head down with his fist.

Bang!

Groots, who had been hit, was left in a ball.

The eyes are full of fear.

I’ve never seen a creature like that before in my life.

Grutzlang struck Shir with his nose, which was several times longer and dozens of times larger.

puck!

Shir, who flew away like that, immediately gets up and doggedly chases after Grootsrang.

Buaaa——!

Grootsrang sticks out his teeth and threatens.

It pretends to run, and then runs away.

I kept running like that.

Ten minutes, thirty minutes, an hour, four hours.

The sun began to set before we knew it.
