Chapter 375
If you eat it, it’s an essence that can be used until the middle.
Well, even if it came out, not only would there be no one among us who would eat this essence…
it didn’t even come out in the first place.
「You have defeated the King Slime. EXP +4”
“Guardian defeat bonus. EXP +3”
I licked my lips bitterly as I saw the king slime disappearing as a group of light.
“Wow, nothing really pops up?”
Since the integers are done, I was hoping for at least a Numbers item to float.
How can you not open crack stones?
The individual drop rate would have been 33.3%…….
‘…Come to think of it, even on the way here, no essence came out.’
Actually, I was expecting a little bit.
At the end, I wondered if the guardian would spit out a good number item.
“Still, one integer didn’t come out.”
Amelia’s words seemed to soothe me, and I smiled.
what integer is that? It’s just garbage.
Grade 9 monster slime.
Essence that, when eaten, reduces physical values such as bone strength, physical resistance, muscular strength, and agility, and adds only stats with low combat value, such as poison resistance, intuition, and digestion.
But the skills are just that.
Depending on the situation, it can be useful, but…
Generally, it is not worth taking that penalty, so it is considered the worst value among 9th grade essences.
Oh, for reference, Jeongsu came out after catching the guys who came out as junk mobs while hunting King Slime.
‘If something like this is going to come out, don’t come out at all.’
Then the expectation that the jackpot will hit next time will remain.
“Mister, the portal has opened over there! Are you going to leave right away?”
“Of course.”
I led my colleagues to the portal.
There was no hesitation at all in his steps.
Its name is a rift, but one slime essence came out.
What the hell is this beggar room?
「You have entered the Crystal Cave on the 1st floor.」
Let’s go out quickly.
Stay longer and get lucky.
***
After breaking through the rift, he was unstoppable.
Now, since there is nothing to do on the lower floor, I headed upstairs and reached the target floor on the 26th day.
“I have entered the Great Sea on the 6th floor.”
Laemia, the island of beginnings.
It was never crowded with explorers and soldiers like the last time I came. And the same goes for the warships that were filling the coastline.
It was natural for the expeditionary force heading to the Dark Continent to depart on the 25th.
Actually, that’s why I arrived a day late on purpose.
“Now, let’s go to the beach.”
There was no reason to waste time on an empty island, so I went straight to the beach.
Then, I took out the vessel in the subspace.
It was different from the previous boats that had to be rowed because there was no sail.
‘That’s right, it’s called a pear at this level.’
A vessel with a similar size and shape to a fishing boat commonly seen in Korea.
A large square sail is located in the center of the ship, and a horsepower propulsion device is also attached to the lower part of the rear, so if you insert a magic stone, you can dramatically increase the speed when in a hurry.
Simply put, it means that it is a ship that can cross even windless areas with enough magic stones.
‘Actually, I don’t think there’s ever going to be a windless zone without a navigator…’
Soon after all three of us got on board, Amelia gulped and stood at the rudder of the boat.
But wouldn’t that look a bit ugly?
Erwen cautiously expressed his anxiety.
“But, since she’s not even a navigator, can that woman properly drive this ship…?”
“It is said that he has experience of driving a small boat in the past, so he must be much better than me who only has rowing experience.
“Hmm…”
“Isn’t that Amelia?”
“…don’t talk to me. I’m thinking about it.” Write
“…….”
This suddenly makes me anxious?
Amelia, who was at the helm of the ship and had a serious expression on her face, began to give orders in earnest.
“First of all… you have to row away from the island. That way you can catch the wind.”
“there was……?”
“If you have any complaints, you’re going to—”
“No, I’ll do as you say.”
“…….”
Instead of telling Amelia, who seemed like a novice, to get rid of her stomach, she faithfully carried out her instructions.
Of course, I had no intention of rowing hard.
Why did you pay so much money for this boat?
Squeeze-!
When the magic stone was inserted into the coffin connected to the magical power propulsion device, the ship began to move forward.
“… oops!”
Amelia seemed surprised by the faster speed than expected, but quickly regained her composure and turned the steering wheel.
And…
“Now is the time! Sail! Spread the sail!”
As soon as the sails were spread, the ship moved forward riding the wind in earnest.
Huh, I guess it works because I do something.
“Direction?”
“Don’t worry, we’re heading east.”
“I see…”
At my words, Amelia let out a breath as if relieved.
In the meantime, both hands were holding the key tightly.
It seemed a bit fresh.
To think that a kid who didn’t move when he killed people was so nervous about something like this.
“I can see it slowly.”
After sailing east for about 15 minutes, I saw an island at the end of the horizon.
An island located a short distance from the starting point after Parune Island to the west, where a bloody battle was fought with Stormgus.
Gurkha Island.
In fact, there was no particular reason to stop by this island.
The monsters from this island are of low grade, and all entities appear on the lower floors.
The experience point supply and demand ended a long time ago.
But…
‘I can’t help it because there is no navigator on the ship.’
With our navigational skills, it was close to impossible to move in a straight line to the desired destination, so we had no choice but to go to each island one by one.
Although there were other reasons.
“…Mister, are you okay?”
“…….”
After this fucking seasickness.
It definitely seems to be a little better than before, but it’s hard to bear it because I’m still sick to my stomach.
“If you’re tired of suits, you can take a break and start.”
“Please.”
After anchoring the boat on the shore, we took a short break.
Still, this was the good thing about the body of a barbarian.
Even though the motion sickness is severe, it gets better in 10 minutes.
“Now then, let’s set sail again.”
After recovering his condition, he went through a series of procedures again and started sailing.
The next destination is Anos, the second island of the eastern route.
“It’ll take about three hours by boat. Can you get there?”
“…don’t worry. They said we only had to keep going in the east-north direction.”
“Who is it?”
“…from the book.”
Erwen, who had never participated in such a fist-fighting voyage, showed an unreliable face this time as well.
But Amelia must have been quite good at sailing, so after about three hours an island appeared in the distance.
At this, Amelia clenched her fists.
“You’ve got it right.”
“But why is the island visible from the east and not from the front?”
“…That’s within the margin of error.”
Cancer This is within the margin of error.
Soon Amelia turned the bow and before long we arrived at Anos Island.
Unlike Gurkha Island, which I skipped, there was business on this island.
There are no hidden pieces or hidden treasures, but you need to get the experience you haven’t been able to get yet.
Also, since it is late, we plan to spend the night here.
But before that…
“Whehehehehehe!”
Let’s empty our stomach for a moment.
***
「You have defeated Raffle Monkey. EXP +3”
“You have defeated the War Snake. EXP +4」
「You have defeated Nigel Fencer. EXP +4”
“Belgaro has been defeated. EXP +5”
“Defeat the Black Tree…”
“…….”
***
Anos Island, 99% of the island excluding the coast is covered with jungle terrain.
First of all, we camped on the beach for one night and started exploring in earnest the next day.
When I finished all the experience points by going around the whole island, I had to camp for one more night because the day was setting again.
‘I thought I could catch them all and go to the next island in half a day.’
The monster we hunted at the end had a lot to do with the schedule twist. I looked all over the island and couldn’t find it, so I had to look for it until nightfall.
“Mister, the stars aren’t very pretty—”
rumbling—!
“I’m sleeping…….”
After resting one more night, the next morning we sailed early and headed to the next island, and fortunately we arrived at the next island this time as well.
And the process continues…
“It’s already the seventh island.”
“Your name was Pione Island, right?”
We reached the seventh island of the eastern route over ten days.
To be honest, it was pretty surprising.
It’s like taking a navigator who only knows how to stop, stop and park, and came all the way here.
‘I thought there might be something I’d overlook or do at least once.’
Is driving a boat easier than you think?
With that thought in mind, these days, Amelia is watching the process of driving the boat from the side and learning one by one.
Seasickness is slowly getting used to.
“Wow, as I’ve heard, the island is very pretty.”
“Erwen, are you coming here for the first time too?”
“Yes. I usually overdo it.”
“Because if you’re unlucky, it’s just a waste of time.”
Pione, the seventh island of the eastern route.
It is often referred to as a treasure island among explorers.
Compared to islands with mountains in the center, the ground is flat, and the area is small enough to circle the island in about 3 hours.
By the way, only one type of 4th grade monster appears here…
“Are you going to pass by here too?”
“The day is slowly going down, so I only stayed one night.”
Hearing my answer, Erwen seemed somewhat happy.
Well, it’s safe to say that there are no monsters on the island itself.
If you meet a monster, you could consider it like winning the lottery.
“Mister! There’s quite a bit of time left until night. Let’s look around the island together! Yes?”
“…That’s about it.”
“It can be dangerous, so I’ll go with you.”
After getting off the island, I put the boat in a subspace and walked around to learn the
terrain .
“It’s not bad.”
Erwen smiled as if he agreed.
” Hehe
,
right?
” If it approaches, you’ll be able to spot it easily.”
“…Yes?”
Erwen tilted his head as if he didn’t understand for a moment, but this part was an important point. It’s
not because this island is called Treasure Island for nothing. Even if most of the top explorers participated in the war and went to the 7th floor ,
the possibility that there will be no explorers on this island is close to zero.
This island is the only place where you can get the number items except for
the rift . Okay, so let’s set up a camp over there. There’s a place we looked at earlier.”
“Oh yeah…”
As everyone is a seasoned explorer, the preparations for camp were finished quickly this time too, so we set Amelia’s alter ego as a night watch and went to sleep. “Shuitz
,
wake up. ”
Amelia shook me up and woke me up. I rubbed my
sleepy eyes and checked my surroundings, and Erwen was also up and holding a bow before I knew it. There was
only one case that came to mind. It would have made much more sense than encountering monsters on this island.
”
How many people?”
Without unnecessary conversation, he only asked for the information he needed to confirm, and Amelia also answered briefly.
“Fifteen.”
“Clan units.” Rogun.”
An uninvited guest came in the middle of the night.
