Chapter 41
‘Although I did not hunt that much, I was still able to reach level 23 by hunting monsters that took a party consisting of level 25 players to hunt. The level-up speed is really unbelievable!’
If Leeha’s level did not rise when he was hunting alone, how could a party possibly raise their level?
Phew, Leeha sighed and shook his head.
Kuuung, Kuuung!
“Aigoo”
When Leeha picked up the meat of the little bear and mother bear, he saw a smaller bear next to them. It seemed to be the size of a dog.
“Ahh....... Really, there was another baby?”
The medium-sized bear who bumped his back against the tree should have been the eldest son then. Fôllôw new stories at novelhall.com
When he thought to himself why the mother bear hadn’t run away, he realized that it was because there was a real “little bear” as well.
“Umm, this, this.”
Kkuung! Kkung!
The bear cub approached and hugged Leeha’s ankle. Looking closer, it was only the size of a small dog.
Did it or did it not know that Leeha was the person who killed its parents and siblings? Maybe it didn’t know yet.
‘Damn it!...’
Leeha took the gunpowder bag and put it back into the bag. If it’s this size, it would die in one shot. It doesn’t have parents or siblings, so it would die anyway.
However, it was also true that a Maltese-sized guy snagged and clung to him.
‘Umm...... It would be strange to give bear meat to a bear, right?’
Leeha took some bread out of his bag and cut it a little. He put a piece of bread in his hand and put it in its mouth. It grunted and licked it.
The bear’s tongue tickled Leeha’s palm.
“It tickles, you punk!”
Kyuung! Kkung!
What could a bear hunter say to a bear? Leeha took care of the cub and set foot outside the forest.
However, no matter how far Leeha went, the bear cub kept on chasing him.
Kkyuung!
“Don’t follow me! You punk, I’ll one-shot you. I am your family’s enemy.” He picked up his musket and made a rattling sound, but the bear cub only tilted its head while looking at him.
It then went to Leeha and hugged his ankles.
“Shit......It’s cute, but what should I do with it?”
The man wearing the leather of the bear king looked closely at the cub.
-Kijeong.
-Oh, hyung! Have you arrived in the capital?
-I’m still on the way. I will die walking.
-Kek, be careful. The bears are pretty strong. You won’t even be able to run away, so just follow
the road.
Leeha whispered to Kijeong.
Kijeong told him to be careful of bears... Leeha held back on telling Kijeong what had happened to him. It would be more effective when they met and gave Kijeong a surprise.
-Right. But aren’t you going to sleep? Aren’t you still a student? What about school?
-I’m pulling an all-nighter. We decided to run a raid a little later. I’ll be having my exams, but what can I do? The raid is more important. Don’t you know something called prioritization? Shouldn’t I prioritize things?
-Uh, yes. I see. Priority. It’s important, isn’t it?
He didn’t add that his aunt would really like how he prioritizes things.
– I have a question. By any chance, is it possible to catch and raise animals?
-Animals? Why? Do you want to buy a horse?
‘Another one...’
Carrying a bear cub did not stop Leeha from his bear hunt. On the way to the capital, if he did not need to deviate for more than a certain distance from the road, Leeha would hunt a bear when he saw one.
He wouldl eventually need to raise his level so Leeha tried to get experience even if it’s just a little.
A brown bear laid on its side after he fired a third shot.
[You leveled up.]
“Wow, I am now level 24. It’s been going smoothly until now.”
Smooth? It’s an extremely fast level-up speed that general users can’t even dream of. Leeha took a step into the forest to gather some bear meat and sundries.
Kkung?
“Oops, I have to carry you.”
It’s only about 60m to the edge of the forest, but it took a long time for the bear cub to walk on its own.
Leeha hugged the bear cub.
It’s only been one night but it felt heavier and it looked bigger as well.
‘No matter how big an animal can be, isn’t it growing a little too fast?’
It takes a year for a puppy to become a dog. Do bears grow on a daily basis?
“Noice?. Two pieces of meat and one claw. Wouldn’t it be good if I sold all this? Right, kid?”
Kkung!
Leeha smiled while taking the sundries near the dead bear. If he also sold the equipment dropped by users, he would be able to make quite a bit of money.
“If you only get past the initial hurdle, musketeer would be worth it-ah ah!”
[You have been poisoned.]
[HP will decrease by 50 every 10 seconds for 3 minutes.]
“Kaa, what is this?”
Kkung!
Rather than being sick, Leeha screamed out of surprise. Leeha shouted and dropped the bear cub on the floor. After he felt a cool sensation on his calf, he quickly checked the ground.
And between his coat and shoes, on the part where his crappy pants were located, he saw something green running away.
“A snake?”
Right. This is an area where bears and snakes appear simultaneously. It was wrong to ignore the things crawling on the floor and only deal with the bears.
Even so, he was less concerned because he confirmed that bears appeared in all areas of the forest and snakes only appeared in the middle of the forest.
Ssss- sss.
The snake flicked its tongue and quickly opened a distance from Leeha.
Snakes that had bitten and poisoned their victims quickly slithered away or dug underground and waited until their victims died.
It was an intelligent beast monster that was annoying to deal with.
“Crazy, with 50 HP every 10 seconds for 3 minutes, it dealt a total damage of 900?”
This meant that dealers around level 25 would have died with just one bite. Tankers and fighters had similar HP to Leeha at around 1300.
How about magicians that did not put any points in constitution? If they are bitten without an antidote, they would still die even if they could catch the snake.
It was also one of the reasons why there were no wizards or one-shot damage dealers in the hunting ground.
“This damn snake bastard, it bites and then runs away ...”
Slithering on the floor in an S-shape, the snake had a small size. Shooting it with a gun would require enormous concentration.
Guoong, guaah! Sss, sss一一一.
“What? Kid?”
While holding the musket and focusing, a brown mass struck and fought against the green line. Kyaaak, Kyaak! The bear cub was still a bear, so will it let the snake’s attack pass? No, more than that.
“You can fight?”
