Episode 177
: Roaring!
A now familiar notification sounds.
[You have discovered the ‘outskirts of the Rocky Mountains’ for the first time in Fate World!]
[Experience gain near the outskirts of the Rocky Mountains increases by 20% for 72 hours!]
[The item acquisition rate near the outskirts of the Rocky Mountains increases by 20% for 72 hours! I do!]
But X had no time to check the message.
Puzzle!
A giant goat running across a rocky mountain. Because the energy flowing from him was not normal. This was similar to the pressure I felt from Aractasis.
‘It’s not just the size.’
X’s eyes were focused on the guy’s hooves. As if sparks weren’t enough, he used that momentum to leap into the air several times.
There was literally no goat at max level! Then X’s blood began to boil.
“If it’s Aractasis level, it won’t drop at least one legendary item.”
avarice!
Moreover, if you succeed in hunting the goat now that the first discovery buff has been activated, the reward will be even sweeter!
X took out his bow without delay. Because it had the longest effective range among the attack methods it had.
‘If you just pull the aggro, everything will be resolved after that.’
Even if the mastery of accurate bowstrings was raised to the level of other basic skills, the destructive power could not keep up with melee attacks. X planned to lure him to a distance where a close fight was possible.
Scum!
The arrow soon left my hand and stretched out in a straight line. The timing is bound to be right.
Pajik!
However, the goat easily dodged the arrow by kicking its hind hoof.
“Mehe.”
In addition to being shy, you can even afford to deceive the other person!
“Why are you looking at that?”
At that moment, X’s pride was cracked. I never thought I would be laughed at by monsters in my lifetime.
I’m going to beat that guy no matter what! Yongyong felt the same way.
“Kyuut?”
I can’t understand the topic of tonight’s side dish.
But the two had no choice but to become dogs chasing chickens. Faba Park! The goat laughed and started jumping over the rocky mountain and backing down.
Climbing over a rough rocky mountain like climbing the fence of your own home. The speed was not normal, so I doubted whether I would be able to keep up even on flat ground. X, who was looking at the guy’s ugly back, muttered.
“With this, our first goal has been decided, Yongyong.”
“Kyuu kyuu.”
I won’t leave the Giant’s Mountains until I catch that goat! Once I made up my mind, the spectacular view of the Giant’s Mountain Range came into view. X sighed.
“This is so unrealistic.”
Rocky mountains rising into the sky as if they had been carved out!
If you turn your head, there is a green forest next to you, but if you turn your head the other way, all you can see is a barren rocky mountain.
A truly fantasy-like Fate World.
There were some incidents, but in any case, understanding the vegetation is something that cannot be left out when entering a new field. Even on the top of the barren rocky mountain, tenacious life was taking root.
“Wow, what is your name?”
“What’s the name of the grass? We just eat it.”
“Hing X is so insensitive.”
Sigh.
Leaving the sullen Killua behind, X checked the information on the plant he had dug up.
-Rock Mountain Dandelion (rare)
has persistent vitality.
It helps greatly with immunity.
Special Effect: When consumed, increases resistance to disease by 30% for 60 minutes.
X was shocked as he looked at the yellow dandelion in his hand.
‘It wasn’t a sunflower?’
Tiroling! A quest came to mind.
《Proof of Ability》
Proud giants do not easily allow any opponent to enter their land. To enter their land, one must demonstrate the ability to be self-sufficient even in harsh environments.
Condition: Defeat 0/30 Giant’s Mountains monsters
Difficulty: A
Reward: Permission to enter Giant’s Mountains
X answered as if he had been waiting.
“great. “Let me prove it.”
The giant seemed a little surprised by X’s confident answer, but it could be said that he was surprised a long time ago. X started scouring the rocky mountain without delay.
‘The terrain is unfavorable, but it’s all an experience.’
There were three main types of monsters that X faced.
Level 1000 Iron Rock Mole.
Level 1100 Stone Root Giant Viper.
Level 1020 Rooted Statue.
Although the two guys in front were of a high level, there was nothing surprising in their appearance. But the rooted statue was quite strange. Yongyong was happy to see the statue swaying and wagging its tail.
“...Something looks uncomfortable.”
The exterior was a statue, but inside was a living, man-eating plant. It seemed like a guy luring prey through an upside-down statue.
Of course, there was no way X would refuse.
“Still, it’s nice to be noticed.”
puck.
One room.
X’s fist is equal for everyone.
From the beginning, monsters over a thousand levels appeared, making it definitely a higher level than the Spirit Forest.
However, the problem was that X grew faster than the mobs became stronger. In the end, it was less than an hour later.
Tiroling!
A notification rang.
[You have succeeded in the quest!]
[Your level has increased!]
“I caught 30, so I can pass now, right?”
X was able to pass the giant’s entry test in the shortest time for any stranger. already? how? The giant seemed to have little understanding of the situation, but he tried to let out a calm laugh.
“Haha, are you already flattered that you passed the test? But I’m sorry. “There are still many rocky mountains to cross.”
He was a giant who only chose to say unpleasant things until the end. Since he didn’t come out in a friendly manner, there was no need for X to please him.
“After all, hiking is harder than hunting.”
While descending the rocky mountain again, I heard a loud voice. Where I turned my head, there was the same shabby shack and giant as before.
At that moment, X felt ominous.
‘How many times will I have to complete the quest in the future?!’
Quests are always welcome, but isn’t this just a quest that’s holding you back?
Even common intimacy was not given as a reward. Still, X did it just in case.
“Because other giants may have good personalities.”
Let’s pretend to be deceived and quietly carry out the quest.
However, X was repeatedly stabbed in the foot by the ax he trusted. The next giant and the next giant.
When the quest was successful, instead of acknowledging it, he started to lose his temper.
A giant with impressive cheekbones chuckled.
“Actually, the test is very outdated. In this day and age, how can you prove your bravery with the blood of thirty horses? Just about a hundred at a time...”
Yes, if you had endured this far, you could say you have endured a lot.
X, who clenched his fists, suggested quietly.
“Can you just let me go? “Would you please let me go?”
“ok?”
“No, as joint responsibility, let’s take a few hits first.”
The beatings under the pretext of true education began.
Munchkin that I eat all by myself
