Two days had passed since we entered the forest and started searching to find the river. During the two days of searching, Janey’s skills continued to be tested.
Every time she discovered a monster, she asked me not to step forward and fought alone.
There were many different types of monsters that appeared in the forest, although none of them were particularly strong. Thanks to this, Janey was able to fully realize her rapidly increased abilities while dealing with various types of monsters.
“Should I take this too?”
Sigh…
Janey said as she wiped the blood from the military sword onto the monster’s skin.
“Then. I’ll put it in.”
The monster she faced this time was a monster that resembled a wild beast like a leopard, but instead of having spotted patterns like a leopard, it had green fur similar to leaves. According to Maria, the name was forest leopard.
If it had been a regular leopard with shiny fur, it could have been skinned and sold, but its green skin had almost no luxurious luster like dried moss or grass.
Maybe that’s why Janey didn’t hesitate to wipe the weapon that had his blood on it on its leather. The only good thing about it is that Janey cut her throat cleanly, so there aren’t many flaws on the leather.
‘It might be useful to make something like a ghillie suit.’
First of all, since there was some space left in the inventory, Janey put in the corpses of these unusual monsters while she was hunting them.
If you find a way to use it later, you can take it out again, or if not, just throw it away in an appropriate place.
“How much further do we have to go?”
Now that my body has gotten used to being stronger, is it because I’m tired of dealing with trivial monsters? Janey, who was close next to me, twirled her military sword and asked.
“I think it’s time to reach the destination.”
We continued our exploration by taking out the container house and resting when we found an empty space where we could set up a base camp.
Since cars were not allowed in the forest, the progress slowed down significantly, but the speed at which we were moving was still very fast.
Because people with superhuman abilities had little time to spend fighting monsters while digging into the forest without hesitation.
Actually, I could have moved faster, but I took my time and moved because I felt like I was leisurely hiking with Janey.
As I continued to move forward while looking at the map, I heard a sound in my ears, which were strengthened by internal energy.
“… … .”
Slurp…
It was the sound of liquid flowing somewhere that made my heart feel refreshed when I heard it. I sometimes heard it on YouTube videos, and it was a sound I could hear while watching the Yangtze River. Although the sound was faint and seemed to be some distance away, it was clear that it was coming from the river we were looking for.
“I think I can hear the sound of water.”
“Sound of water? Is there a river nearby?”
“I think so. Fortunately, I didn’t lose my direction.”
Janey smiled a little knowing that she had finally found her destination.
We quickly moved along the sound. As they got closer to the river, the sound of the water grew louder and could now be heard clearly in Janey’s ears. I could also smell the unique humid smell of the river.
“Oh… It’s here.”
“Awesome.”
Unusually, the river water was closer to a transparent emerald color than blue. It looked like the same color as the sea of Saipan, where we visited for entertainment filming.
In the river, there were fish and other large underwater monsters with sharp teeth. However, they seemed to be swimming peacefully, perhaps wondering if they were lacking food.
‘Would it be delicious if I grilled it? ‘It must be difficult to eat raw fish, right?’
Janey, who was looking around the river, pointed somewhere with her finger.
“That tree is special. It seems like it grew on water.”
In the direction Janey pointed to, there was a unique tree with its roots half in the ground and half in the river. Trees of the same type could be seen growing sparsely along the river.
It looked similar to the mangrove tree I saw in a documentary before.
“Then, let’s settle here and explore the surroundings.”
I looked around and found a space where I could put a container house.
It was in this river that the Summoner Guild’s investigators witnessed what was believed to be the shadow of a divine beast. It might not be exactly the same location, but since I never got lost along the way, it probably wasn’t that far away.
‘But I did find a river… Then, should we start searching the area from here?’
Looking at the size of the river, it seemed smaller than the Yangtze River. However, considering that it took all night to search and kill the enemy near Dongjeong Lake, it was not an easy task at all.
Fortunately, those annoying worries were alleviated thanks to Maria.
-If it is true that the divine beast has cubs, it will actively feed. This is a forest mostly surrounded by trees except for the river. The easiest place to find food in the sky is this river where you are.
‘So there’s a high probability that they’ll come to the river to find food, right? Then he’ll show up soon.’
-Yes!
‘Okay, let’s finish it in three days and go back.’
I informed Janey of my conclusion and took out the container house in the location I had been eyeing. It was a kind of base camp.
“Then we just have to stay here and look at the sky?”
“For the time being.”
For the next few days, I’ll just have to look up at the sky and watch that divine beast come to the river to catch its prey.
Of course, Janey and I had no intention of doing that all day. It’s true that it was an easy task, but it was clear that it would be very boring.
Suddenly!
Kugu Palace…
When I cut down a few nearby trees that were blocking my view with a sword that drew out sword energy rather than a supernatural ability, I was able to see the open sky.
I winked at Janey, who blew the dust away, and took out Awaken’s executives from my inventory.
‘Maria, please explain the situation yourself and tell her to settle down in an appropriate position.’
-yes.
They received orders from Maria in an instant. Except for Roland, who was in charge of the container house, the rest scattered in all directions, grabbing the guns and swords they had been issued for self-defense.
I cut down the trees around them, which were spread out appropriately, to secure the view as well.
In this way, four more surveillance eyes were created, capable of making their own decisions but also capable of using force when necessary.
They are basically androids with physical abilities superior to humans. Since he is wearing a battle suit and is even armed, he will be able to easily respond even if a monster appears while observing.
Considering all abilities and combat skills, it would be impossible to predict the outcome, but when compared simply by physical strength, the android wearing the battle suit was stronger than Janey.
“Now, we just have to wait.”
I held Janey’s hand and entered the container house.
Contrary to my expectations of finding Shinsoo within three days, the abnormality occurred a few hours later. Shinsu himself appeared before us.
It was when we were taking a break inside the container house.
Flap!
“Hmm… ?”
I was lying in bed watching a movie with Janey on my tablet when I heard the sound of something flapping and looked up.
Janey, who was lying next to me, suddenly saw me raise my upper body and asked.
“What’s wrong?”
“What didn’t you hear?”
“Are you talking about the sound of a movie?”
“I didn’t think it sounded like a movie… Is it because of my mood?”
The moment I tilt my head and try to lie down again. Maria tried to say something to me in an urgent voice.
-master! Roland… !
Kwasik!
“!”
As soon as I heard Maria’s voice, I unleashed my energy with all my might. Then, I felt an enormous presence outside where I thought there was nothing, stimulating my senses.
-Roland was captured by Shinsu!
“What… ?”
It seems that Roland, who was waiting outside, was attacked by Shinsu. If so, this means that this presence stimulating my energy is that of Shinsoo…
‘I obviously didn’t feel anything until I opened my breath.’
Does this mean that he cannot be properly sensed without the ability to sense energy or magical energy?
In that case, it makes sense that Roland failed to send me any signal until right before he was attacked by the Shinsu.
Because androids can’t feel or use energy or magic.
-I think Shinsu mistook it for prey and captured it! The altitude is getting higher!
Roland, this guy… It’s clear that you look like a blonde prince, so why are you greedy for the princess position?
A divine beast who captures Android. I burst out laughing at the absurd situation.
“Janey! It seems like a god has appeared! Let’s get out quickly!”
“Yes!”
I roughly threw the tablet I was watching a movie on into my inventory and hurried out.
Sure enough, Roland, who was standing near the container house, disappeared without a trace. Only a few leaves scattered around were visible.
“Minho! Look over there!”
Janey, who was looking up at the sky, grabbed my arm and shook it. I followed her and raised my head.
A huge bird was seen flying away, holding Roland by its legs.
