CH 36

Two days later, Baek Hae-Won came to the camp, saying he would give a brief briefing before departure.

Ye-Hyeon carefully looked at the four people sitting around the round table.

Honestly, he still didn’t realize that these people were his party members.

“The monster in this dungeon is the Grave Dog. It’s a wild dog monster from the plain topography, have you ever heard of it?”

Only Shin Do-Gyeom nodded.

“Grave Dog usually goes around in groups of more than seven, but since it’s a sweep, you may have to deal with three or four at a time. Even though they are not good at offense and defense. You won’t get fatally injured at once, but on the contrary, it’s not easy to hit them, so if you’re not used to fighting, it could be a long-term battle. You have to take good care of your physical strength. Once they bite, they don’t let go, so be careful.”

Ye-Hyeon pursed her lips.

There was a time when a Grave Dog almost dragged him into a tunnel after biting him on his pants.

“If you see a tunnel, don’t go all around it. It’s like ambushes.”

The ambush was the most annoying thing about dealing with Grave Dog.

The name Grave Dog was given because it looked like a skinny dog protruding from the grave without any flesh.

Baek Hae-Won stopped talking for a moment and smiled.

He seemed to like them to listen to the explanation carefully.

“You’ll probably have a hard time at first. There are many slow medium and large monsters when we work together, but there’s no dungeon like that this week. It can’t be helped. It’s already time. Shall we go?”

“Hey, let’s make a party sentence later, too. Look, don’t you think it’d be cool to engrave a sentence here? Here, too.”

Yoon Seung-Jae pointed to his chest and forearms and wrinkled his nose.

He meant to ask them to look at the new armor he bought.

“Oh, it would look good on you.”

Ye-Hyeon was the only one actively praising him at first, and also became lazy as the subtle pride continued throughout the movement.

Yoon Seung-Jae nodded with a satisfied face, not caring about Ye-Hyeon’s insincere answer.

The destination was in the middle of the mountain.

There were quite a lot of people waiting around the gate.

As soon as Baek Hae-won got off the gate seeker, all the hunters in the place focused on Baek Hae-won.

“Isn’t that Baek Hae-Won?”

“Why is Baek Hae-Won here?”

“Baek Hae-Won?”

“Who are the hunters with him?”

“I don’t know. It’s my first time seeing them, too.” The murmur echoed.

The Hunter Community would be very noisy again.

Ye-Hyeon hid behind Yoon Seung-Jae, who is tall.

He didn’t want to receive any attention in advance anyway.

“Long time no see, Hunter Baek Hae-Won. You know I trusted you, right? I look forward to your kind cooperation.”

“Thank you,” said the Dungeon Route Manager.

He first approached Baek Hae-Won and greeted him.

They contacted the association first and entrusted the entire route.

Cooperating with other hunters and monopolizing Route was a big difference from conservatives.

The higher you go to the top dungeon, the more items you get.

No matter how much the C-class gate and the remaining monsters were wiped out, Ye-Hyeon’s party, which was just formed, was able to enter immediately without much waiting for the other party to monopolize the whole route.

As he passed the gate, an endless plain unfolded.

The sun was overhead, and yellow sunlight poured down like a sunset.

Ye-Hyeon checked the route according to his habit.

The flat stone was engraved with ‘B-V’.

“You all remember your roles, right? As I said, my goal is for you to be able to go around the dungeon without me. I’m not going to intervene as much as possible, so you have to fight thinking I’m not here. Of course, I’ll help you if it’s dangerous, so don’t worry.”

Baek Hae-won stood behind Ye-Hyeon and asked again.

Ye-Hyeon took a deep breath and grabbed the staff he received from Baek Hae-Won.

The dark brown staff had a unique “life force +50” option for a staff user.

It was usually a good item as it went up to percentage, not simple figures, but simple figures were much more beneficial for Ye-Hyeon, who was less capable.

If the staff’s option was “life force +5%,” Ye-Hyeon’s life force would have been only 105 rather than 150.

As there are many new functions, He expected that raising the level would increase vitality and mana, but even at level 10, it still remained at 100.

Yoon Seung-Jae, who was in the lead, advanced slowly.

Ye-Hyeon followed Shin Do-Gyeom after checking the sword on his waist.

Ye-Hyeon swallowed dry saliva.

His heart beat fast, half nervous and half excited.

Both the association and the guild assigned rankers as distributed as much as possible when selling engineering colleges for each route.

It was because it was more efficient to make several moderately powerful engineering units than to make one of the strongest.

As a result, it was rare for rankers to have more than one engineering unit unless it was a special case like the super-large gate.

He was already excited about how great a fight would be at the Ranker-only party.

He knows he still lacks experience.

I can’t believe I can see Shin Do-Gyeom’s battle when he was still a new hunter! That alone was overwhelming.

Ye-Hyeon glanced at Shin Do-Gyeom’s hand, which firmly raised the bow.

However, the high expectations were soon shattered.

Kaang! Yoon Seung-Wae pushed Grave Dog from the left with his shield.

The Grave Dog, which is thin enough to see the ribs as they were, turned around in the air and landed on the floor.

“Ugh!”

The other two of the three rushed to Yoon Seung-Jae one after another.

Yoon Seung-Jae went back behind the monster to avoid the attack.

“You shouldn’t do that…” Ye-Hyeon clicked his tongue quietly.

Tankers without provocation skills should not be out of the monster’s sight.

Unsurprisingly, a Grave Dog ran when he saw Shin Do-Gyeom, not Yoon Seung-Jae.

“Uh…”

When the monster entered the rear, Yoon Seung-Jae, embarrassed, tried to block the front urgently, but lost his balance and stumbled at the other two cooperative attacks.

“Ack!”

A Grave Dog, with his mouth wide open, jumped high, drooling.

In a blink of an eye, the monster was just around the corner, but Shin Do-Gyeom did not back down.

He stared at the Grave Dog and pulled the bow even stronger.

A pointed arrow ripped through the air and flew exactly toward the monster’s forehead.

But Kwon Joo-Ho, who suddenly appeared just before the arrow penetrated the monster, cut off Grave Dog’s neck.

The arrow, which lost its target, passed by Kwon Joo-Ho’s cheek.

“Ha.” Shin Do-Gyeom exhaled irritably and gritted his teeth.

Kwon Joo-ho roughly wiped the blood flowing from his cheeks with the back of his hand and looked at Shin Do-Gyeom

“Focus on the battle!”

When Baek Hae-Won shouted loudly, the two finally pulled out their weapons at the Grave Dog, who was left.

Yoon Seung-Jae exposed the monster’s torso by turning his body half to the side as he learned in the camp.

“Kkae-mang!”

The Grave Dog, whose front feet brushed against the sword wielded by Yoon Seung-Jae, faltered for a moment with a high scream.

It was Shin Do-Gyeom’s arrow that dealt with the Grave Dog this time.

Kwon Joo-Ho, who tried to cut Grave Dog’s side, had to turn away from the arrow that flew one step faster.

When he killed the last one, Kwon Joo-Ho even hit Shin Do-Gyeom’s arrow with a knife.

What is this? How can it be this bad?

The angle of view was similar, but they seemed to interfere with each other.

He thought it would be easier to handle it if he asked them to catch one each.

There was no such disorderly team.

Ye-Hyeon was speechless.

It was ridiculous in a completely different meaning than expected.

“It’s harder than I thought to take care of all of it by me.”

Yoon Seung-Jae scratched his head and muttered awkwardly.

It was okay to miss one or two because there were at least two tankers when playing dungeons with veteran hunters, but now a small mistake could directly lead to a big injury.

Ye-Hyeon approached Kwon Joo-Ho, looking around.

“I’ll treat you.”

Ye-Hyeon reached out without listening to an answer.

It was obvious that he would just stare at people embarrassingly anyway.

Kwon Joo-ho lowered his eyes silently.

Contrary to his expectations, he didn’t make eye contact at all this time.

A bright light came out of Ye-Hyeon’s hand, but the towering nose bridge was not blurred at all.

He was a little envious of the straightened nose.

The skin, which had been wounded quickly regenerated.

“It’s done.”

“Hyung, I’m hurt.”

“What? Let me see.”

Yoon Seung-Jae raised his right hand with a tearful face.

Ye-Hyeon, who was looking at it in surprise, frowned.
