Chapter 28
Leeha’s actions would likely bring all of the servant wolves into the mountain. Now, the three of them would have to die without being able to do anything.
Did they all have to die together in order to continue hunting in a party? Wasn’t that ridiculous?
“Let’s go.”
“Where can we go with the wolves blocking the- What?”
If lizards had jaws, Biyemi’s would have dropped.
“Keukeuk, I had an idea and after seeing Biyemi-nim do it, I was sure that it 100% works.”
Leeha walked out like a crippled elder and used his musket like a crutch.
The wolves around them retreated a few steps to give them a path and among them; some hid behind trees, and there were even those who ran away without stopping at all.
“Surely, no way.”
“H-how did you do it, Leeha-nim?”
“I’ll explain later, so come quickly. Its duration is a whole lot shorter than poison.”
The path was opened and there were no more obstructions.
Upon reaching the Golden Eagle Zone, it was said that servant wolves would no longer chase the players, so for the time being, they had to climb nonstop.
‘It’s fortunate that my stamina is full. And even when it drops, it should still be fine because of the Runner’s High skill.’
Ha Leeha eagerly climbed using his musket as a crutch.
Biyemi looked closely at Leeha’s back.
Jing Gong Gong kept leering at the servant wolves following slowly behind them in case they suddenly attacked.
They continued to climb the mountain for a long time without saying anything.
He was trying to figure out what on earth Leeha did until Biyemi realized.
“Gunpowder? It’s surely gunpowder, isn’t it?
They ran away when they saw the smoke- no!”
“Heh, he must have noticed.”
Leeha took a peek at Biyemi’s expression and laughed.
As expected, he had a good understanding of the game system. No, should it be said that he had a lot of common sense or knowledge about reality?
“Smell! They ran away because of the smell of gunpowder! Right? Right, Ha Leeha-nim?”
“Oh, you can say it’s something similar to that?”
“Ah! Isn’t it because wolves have a strong sense of smell?”
From Biyemi’s overreaction to Jing Gong Gong’s admiration. Leeha happily pulled out a bag of gunpowder.
“I don’t exactly know how, but it should be that way. It’s my first time trying it too.”
“Oh my goodness. No way.”
However, Leeha made a rough estimation,
from his first wolf hunt, where they knew the dangers of a gun, and at the same time, they also had aversion to the smell of gunpowder.
It’s a smell that is hard to get accustomed to even for humans, how much more for wolves?
It must be a tremendous stimulus.
‘However, using two seems to be too much. I have to be careful as it can damage the barrel.’
Fortunately, Leeha’s gamble was successful. They didn’t need to waste resources on miscellaneous mobs that did not even give them experience.
“Halihali-nim, have you played Middle Earth before? You have knowledge that is not currently available, and even a job that no one chooses.”
During their final maintenance before the summit, as the servant wolves were no longer chasing and went down the mountain to rest already, Biyemi stepped up and asked Leeha, who was sitting, using a very small voice.
“Have you tried Middle Earth?
“This is the first time I played.”
“Ah, right.”
What’s this sound like? Biyemi, who was still looking at Leeha’s expression, quickly got up from his seat.Fôllôw new stories at novelhall.com
“Let’s go, let’s go. I think we’re almost there.”
“Wait a minute, I’ll summon my crow again. Please turn your head around.”
“Why?”
At Biyemi’s question, Jing Gong Gong’s face turned red.
“This, when using this skill, it’s a little... embarrassing.”
“What is it? What is it? Do it quickly. I am getting curious.”
Leeha, who had been thinking about Biyemi’s question, got interested and naturally turned to Jing Gong Gong.
‘Why is he getting embarrassed at using his skills?’
“Carry on. It can’t be helped, can it?”
Jing Gong Gong sighed and cast his skill.
No, could you call that a skill? The huge giant was dancing.
“No. Don’t go out. Please wait a moment.”
“Yes?”
“I’ll shoot it first.”
Leeha wanted to block the pattern.
“W-what? Ha Leeha-nim you’re going to shoot?”
Leeha nodded at Biyemi’s question.
“I can shoot and drag it down, but I need to at least shoot it once before it comes down. If we vainly attack now and fail, we would lose an opportunity. Besides, it wouldn’t be a good idea to fight the eagles first.”
Not to the point of being bad, but the one with
the weakest defense here was Leeha, who was a Musketeer.
Biyemi said lightly, “If you are unlucky, you might miss the shot.”
Jing Gong Gong also joined in Biyeemi’s disapproval.
“L-Leeha-nim! Are you sure about it? The distance from here to there is enormous! Even if you look at it roughly... How much is it.”
Jing Gong Gong and Biyemi squinted their eyes with great effort. It was difficult for normal people to quickly determine the size and distance of objects.
Leeha laughed like a kind teacher and stepped out.
“I think it’s about 90m.”
Leeha has already opened the bag of gunpowder.
“With a height of 80m. The Golden Eagle King is flying at about 90m? Kukkuk, doesn’t it tolerate anything above it because it’s a king?”
“90m? No, are you joking right now?”
From the peak of Candle Mountain there additional 90 meters again. If it’s from the ground, how many meters would it be?
However, disregarding Biyemi and Jing Gong’s surprise, Leeha pushed the iron ball bullet into the muzzle.
“I might miss, so get ready to cast right away, Biyemi-nim.”
“I’m already on it.”
“Kkik. Have you no faith? Ah, Jing Gong Gong-nim, please come here and squat.”
Ignoring Biyemi’s doubtful expression, Leeha called the Giant.
“W-why?”
“I’ll use you as a stand.”
“Hmm? What?”
“Kkil Kkil, squat calmly.”
When shooting toward the sky, the posture was bound to be unstable, and Leeha wanted to find something to lean on to increase stability as much as possible. And what he found was the giant who was the hardest and largest, which would make it easier to adjust the angle.
“Take a slow breath. You should never take a big breath.”
“Isn’t that order too hard?”
“He can do it. Because giants are big.”
Biyemi wanted to ask what it had to do with anything, but Leeha was already leaning on Jing Gong Gong’s body.
While Jing Gong Gong slowly controlled his breathing, Leeha looked at the Golden Eagle King that was flying in the sky.
‘I said that it was 90 meters but it’s actually between 95 and 110 meters, and it also fluctuates. It was somewhat irregular due to the up and down overlapping movements, but overall, it was flying with a large 8 character.’
A flying beast entered the scope’s sight as if it were enlarged.
The wings and tail feathers were spread out in a diamond shape, making it easier to identify the large body.
‘The tail feathers were unique, so the center of the body was easily recognizable, but the flight speed was quite fast. Damn, it would be much better if the bullet speed was a little faster.’
How much more does it fly up and down instead of going left and right, and how fast is its speed?
It could be considered a completely different case from hitting a wolf or a Black Angus running on the ground.
“Huup.”
Leeha took a breath.
“HaliHali-nim?”
Enough time had passed that Biyemi became impatient while he watched from the side.
However, Leeha was not in a hurry.
The giant Jing Gong Gong inevitably moved when he breathed and Leeha took the timing of his and Jing Gong Gong’s breathing.
“Haa...”
He exhaled loudly this time.
The point where you hold back your breath is after you take a big breath and exhale. It’s the gap until the time to breathe in again.
When Leeha and Jing Gong Gong’s breathing paused.
The moment the two people’s breathing completely stopped was also the moment that the muzzle pointing toward the sky stopped completely.
“You’re only aiming, when are you going to sho–”
Taaang—— Leeha pulled the trigger.
