Episode 352:
A vast jungle!
X was still exploring the palm-shaped jungle.
In ‘Wild Little Finger’, I caught a named Lizardman of about level 350.
“It’s been a while since I’ve had lizard meat.”
No worries.
Old memories come to mind with the rising steam. X was acting as he had originally intended.
Let’s make, eat, and become stronger!
‘I don’t feel comfortable in this world because I pay attention to everything.’
It takes at least a week for the soldiers of the Fire Empire to arrive on the Arba Continent.
This meant that I could comfortably focus on my gourmet training for at least a week.
Munch!
X muttered as he thought of his goal.
“Tsk tsk tsk tsk, search all the jungle until evening...”
In fact, ‘Wild Little Finger’ alone was so large that an average player would have to walk for an entire day to escape.
But for X with the Chukji method, it’s like a jungle.
“If possible, we should focus on skills while hunting.”
X did not forget his proficiency in minor skills.
Let’s see, which skill should we mainly use? X’s face became serious as he looked at the skill window.
“...Everyone will be extremely attracted to aggro.”
From dancing stems to the appearance of a thunder dragon! The power of most skills was affected by stats.
What do you mean X’s stats are normal stats? X’s stat was such that even when firing the common Magic Arrow, it was mistaken for a large magic.
‘So, isn’t this a disguise for times like this?’
Now I’m wearing something that looks quite appropriate. X adjusted his purple cone hat, which was his highlight.
*
“Thunder Dragon Appears.”
Infant independence.
X was only earning a daily wage.
Squeeze!
The summoned Thunder Dragon crossed the jungle bushes. All existing monsters were turned into electric grills. The skill level
of Thunder Dragon Appearance (11%)
was also rising steadily.
It was a hunting ground that was not suitable for X, who was over level 870, but the number of monsters that could be defeated was beyond imagination.
Clean up the field with Thunder Dragon.
X took the loot.
“If you look down on this miscellaneous item, you will greatly regret it.”
A miscellaneous item that turns into gold and stats. In addition, it is helpful in training one’s heavenly sense of taste.
There is no reason not to pick it up.
X’s appearance was like no other predator. In normal times, the jungle’s most common named monsters would have appeared.
-Jungle Nessie’s Leather (Unique)
-Tropical Monkey’s Tooth (Rare)
“Hmm, it looks quite useful, doesn’t it?”
Even if it wasn’t roasted due to the thunder dragon’s struggle.
As he had promised, X covered the entire jungle in half a day. Because it was such an easy goal, I was not satisfied.
Head west without stopping!
X ran in the Chukji method.
“Isn’t the power of nature amazing?”
The place where X stopped was a plain. Wide-spreading grass. Even the Milky Way decorates the sky.
“You can’t believe there was a fire, right?”
Starry Plain!
It was the exact place where Yongyong burned down the hole. The reason why X visited the Starry Plain again was simple.
I was curious as to why the grass had grown again... but X had a different intention.
‘This was a kingdom where agriculture developed!’
As farming developed, they must have had excellent farming technology. X planned to steal the source of the technology.
Why isn’t there fertile land in Xernis?
“In addition, agricultural technology has developed. “If mechanical oxen that can work non-stop are brought in...!”
It may not be a dream to cover your annual budget through farming alone!
As a lot of gold was invested, X was in a state where money would rise.
‘No matter what, I have to take everything with me.’
Gooooo!
Explorer of the Old Kingdom. Using that authority, they entered the ruins of the ancient kingdom.
Tiroling!
A cheerful notification rang.
[Entering the dungeon ‘Kasinkrande Palace Ruins’!]
“...Dungeon?”
Unless the opponent was X.
Boom!
With one swing of the mace, the attacking watchdogs were cleared away. Those who were preparing to attack from a distance were kept in check with a thunderbolt of terror.
There was no difference between wolves of a higher level than him.
Break it!
It’s just that the crying sound is a little louder.
X easily cleaned up the surroundings and farmed the loot. However, no matter which monster I caught, the loot was the same.
-Seal of Hell (Quest)
A seal held by monsters in Hell. It will be proof that you defeated them.
Special Effects: ?
“Hmm...”
The Seal of Hell was a quest item. That alone was worth taking care of.
X thought deeply while exploring the dungeon. Then it seemed like the purpose of this strange trophy could be figured out.
‘...This is not an item related to starting the quest.’
Quest Item!
It usually refers to an item related to the start of a quest.
Broadly speaking, there are cases where the quest begins the moment it is acquired and cases where the conditions described in the special effect must be met to begin the quest.
However, the Seal of Hell was being dropped each time a monster was killed, rather than just one.
Moreover, the item description said that it would serve as evidence of defeating a hellish monster.
Sigh!
X raised the corner of his mouth.
‘Rewards are given according to the number of seals collected.’
Rewards are given according to ability! There has never been a quest this happy for X.
How many seals have you collected right now?
I easily passed 40. I don’t know what kind of reward I will receive, but my heart is already excited.
“The problem is receiving the quest.”
But I wasn’t too worried. If you go into the heart of the dungeon, wouldn’t something come out?
Because the place where X is currently is only the beginning of the dungeon. A lighter step!
‘The experience is also great.’
X slaughtered the monsters, took the seal, and approached the heart.
The scale of the dungeon seemed bigger than I thought. After a while, the alarm rang.
Tiroling!
[You have entered the heart of the dungeon, ‘The Gate of Hell’!]
“...Huh?”
X tilted his head.
The name of the dungeon has changed. As you can see, from ‘Ruins of Kasinklande Palace’ to ‘Gate of Hell’.
It’s not even a disconnection dungeon.
I’ve never heard of a dungeon name changing just because it entered the heartland. X, who had more experience than others, was able to intuit.
“...I guess it’s not an ordinary quest anyway?”
Just in case, I held my breath and lowered my body. X recalled his memory as he advanced toward the passage ahead.
It was hell, there was no information that came to mind right away. I didn’t know about Hell Island, but I didn’t seem to remember seeing any information about Hell.
‘I guess I’ll have to ask Asus.’
If Asus doesn’t know, it means that the information has not yet spread to Fate World.
After deciding, X moved forward with all his concentration. X’s eyes narrowed.
‘Is that the heartland?’
It was at that time when light was shining at the end of the passage.
Murmur.
A loud sound reached my ears.
Is it a monster?
X quickly grabbed the handle of the mace.
“...!”
No, this was the sound of human speech.
So NPC?
Surprised, X approached the end, still holding his breath. The closer I got, the more clearly I could hear the conversation.
“You really thought you were going to die. “The level of miscellaneous mobs is 1,300!”
“Still, if it’s 1,300, I’ve conceded. “I heard that the party over there encountered a 2,000-worth named monster and that he was the only one who barely survived.”
“Anyway, I didn’t know there would be people who arrived first.”
“As expected, this quest item is unusual.”
It’s not an NPC.
They are players.
‘How did you get in? I think there will be hundreds at best. ‘Isn’t this heart... connected to only one dungeon?’
All kinds of questions came to mind.
But one thing was certain. X looked at the seal of hell in his hand.
“...It’s a competitive quest!”
Munchkin that I eat all by myself
