70. Corrupted area monster hunting (3)

Woooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!

The heavy monster’s body falls to the ground.

The soldiers who succumbed to the overwhelming force and were unable to resist and trembled at the death they faced rubbed their eyes at the unbelievable sight.

“Huh?”

“Sah, are you alive?”

“Dead…? No, how the hell?”

It was a tremendous sight to see the monster’s throat cut cleanly and its head cut off.

Even though they saw it with their own two eyes, the soldiers continued to check their eyes as if they couldn’t believe it.

I thought I was dead without moving, but since something miraculous happened, it was only natural.

“Gee, he’s really dead!”

“Who did it?”

“Over there, that girl!”

“Girl??”

The soldiers found out who had caught that huge monster.

Then, the small body that was visible at first glance quickly disappeared before my eyes.

Of course.

He hid because he didn’t want his identity revealed.

‘Hidden, silver, silver, silver, silver!!!’

Hide please!!

“Who is it? Isn’t that a military uniform?”

“Hey, where are you from? I lived thanks to you. thank you.”

“But you’re slowly stepping back?”

“What is it? Where are you hurt?”

The soldiers who did not know the circumstances kept expressing interest in me, as if they were just happy that I was alive.

There was much more tension than right before killing the monster.

‘Will it bounce? Shouldn’t it just bounce?’

As soon as he cut off the monster’s head, he tried to hide himself somehow.

Being small, it could have been possible if done well!

Unfortunately, however, the splendid technology had attracted people’s attention.

Since they were already within sight, it was impossible to escape without being spotted by the soldiers.

At least, I was trying hard not to see me by clinging to the body of the dead monster.

‘Go away…go away…!’

However, the heartless soldiers were creeping towards me as if they had noticed something strange.

‘Danger! Arianne is in complete crisis!!’

I wanted to cover at least my face to avoid the worst.

But the only thing in my hand is a dagger!

I glanced around and noticed something round and large.

He rushed over and picked it up and covered his face.

You won’t see my face this way!

“Oh, of course you should take the loot. None of us were greedy.”

“you’re right. We all live thanks to you! thank you!”

“You are a life saver!”

I laughed and said something, but I couldn’t hear a word.

Even though it was close, it was too close!

get caught

Get caught!

I’m getting caught aaa!!

“Wait a minute! until there.”

“Eh?”

“???”

“I’m sorry, but I couldn’t find out.”

“omg! Could it be that the special unit you’ve only heard about!?”

“Isn’t that a big deal then?”

“I’m sorry. That’s why you kept hiding!”

“Don’t let anyone know of my existence.”

“!!!”

I don’t know what special forces are.

But I could see that pretending to be something mysterious worked.

I thought I should use this, and I acted as it was.

Don’t look messy!

I tried my best to speak clearly.

I lowered my voice as much as possible.

‘Misunderstand…you must misunderstand..!!’

Can’t you even imagine that?

Who would believe that an academy student is in a polluted area.

“I’m good enough.”

He desperately covered his face and backed away, then ran away at high speed.

‘Didn’t you see? you haven’t seen it? Don’t you know?’

I couldn’t care less about the direction.

It was more important not to be found out by those people.

…that didn’t work.

When the distance was widened to a certain extent, and I came to my senses.

“hehehehe…isn’t there anyone there?”

I don’t know when was the last time I ran so hard that I was out of breath.

From the middle, I ran while hiding, so no one would chase after me.

He let out a sigh of relief and sat down on the floor.

Then I woke up to the pleasant smell I felt in my arms.

“Ah! Why did you bring this…”

He hastily realized that what he used to cover his face was the neck of the monster he had cut off.

Exhausted, I threw the monster’s neck roughly, and with a slightly rough breath, I wiped the blood from the dagger with a nearby blade of grass.

“Ah, this can’t work.”

It must be in the bag… Huh?

“My bag!!”

It’s a big deal!!

I remembered that I had thrown it on the floor to catch the monster.

I put all my stuff in my bag to focus on dealing with monsters.

A compass, food, and even a tracker are all included.

Never without a bag.

My mind was dizzy.

“Uh, what?”

At that time, I suddenly had an idea where this place was.

I ran so frantically that I couldn’t remember which direction I was coming from.

“oh my god!”

where is north and where is south.

I completely lost my direction.

“I need to find my bag.”

Among the situations that the mercenary boss gave me advice on, there was no such situation.

About what to do if you lose your bag!

First of all, I had to get out of the contaminated area, but that was possible only when I knew the right direction.

If you go west by mistake…

“I can’t just stay here all the time…”

In order to get help from the mercenary boss, I had to get out of the contaminated area somehow.

In the end, I was in a situation where I had to make a choice, so I lifted a broken tree branch, put it on the floor, and then let go.

Took-!

From noble mtl dot com

“That way!”

Zira, who was not confident in his choice, relied on tree branches to determine his direction.

I can’t help but be wrong!

You can’t just sit still and not know anything.

I hoped that this would be the direction to find the bag, and if not, it would be the direction to escape the contaminated area.

“Please, one of the two!”

⁂ ⁂ ⁂

Two days have passed since Ariando disappeared.

The fact that this amount of time has passed means that one thing has been decided.

“It seems lost.”

“Umm…then what should we do? We can’t just wait unarmed, can we?”

“Wouldn’t it be better to go to the city and set up a rescue team? Let his family know.”

“Probably not in a dangerous state. The problem is that I got lost. I intend to wait here a little longer. Everyone, please pack your things and go back. If we keep waiting together, we will run out of food.”

The mercenaries were taken aback by my decision to remain alone.

“You’re staying here? How are you going to be alone…”

“I can hold on enough. I went out to catch monsters in the first place, but I can’t stand this much. Don’t worry, take it and leave.”

If it wasn’t for the food, it could have kept me going for a few more days.

However, it was not a good idea to continue dragging these people along without knowing how long the search would last.

‘It’s not like these people are helping in their search.’

If there’s anything I’ve learned from my life as a mercenary, it’s that what needs to be thrown away must be thrown away clearly and resolutely.

I cut off what I was going to cut off and left neatly alone, I headed north and moved.

‘I’ll go north for now.’

I wondered why even the firecrackers hadn’t been sent out.

At least if I had only used that, I could go get it somehow.

‘Well, he doesn’t know that I’ve awakened.’

I guessed that he might have tried to get out of the contaminated area somehow in a situation where he was lost.

‘Aren’t they going round and round in the same spot?’

When you walk through the forest, you often lose your direction because of the overgrown trees.

So what I brought with me was a compass.

“Was breaking through the contaminated area too hard for beginners?”

I’ve been working hard on it though…

I was worried that the kid might be too scared.

The good news is that they packed plenty of food in their bags, so they wouldn’t starve.

‘I bet he didn’t just eat what was in the bag without any concept.’

When you’re in distress, you have to eat sparingly.

It’s a long question whether they said it or not.

“Whoa…”

How far has it flowed since heading north?

We finally reached a place where we could see the contaminated area with our own eyes.

Contaminated areas were clearly different from the color of the ground, so it was easy to distinguish them.

If you cross this line, monsters that you couldn’t even dare to face will be scattered all over the place.

How many people are frustrated because they can’t get over this place?

A place where only selected people can enter.

A place where despair and death nevertheless coexist.

I finally took my first steps in the contaminated area.

To save Ariando.

Basrak- Basrak-

The blades of grass pass through the whole body.

To the general public, this blade of grass is no different from being poisoned.

When it comes into contact with the skin, the whole body turns red.

And if you don’t detoxify it right away, it turns into a blue color, and that blue color starts to spread throughout the body through the blood vessels.

Isn’t it terrifying to imagine?

It was only a blade of grass that brushed against her skin.

“You’re fine.”

There is a musty smell, but there is nothing wrong with breathing.

I didn’t know that stepping on the soil of the contaminated area would be this easy.

Somehow, it wasn’t until I entered the Polluted Zone that I felt that I had found total freedom.

“If the land turns into a 100% contaminated area, only the Awoken will be able to survive.”

Wouldn’t those people huddle together and somehow continue the life of mankind?

Like animals and plants that have changed their bodies to adapt to miasma in order to survive in a polluted area, we humans may eventually have to adapt to this miasma.

‘Of course, I’ll have to make sure the world doesn’t perish before that.’

To do so, Ariando is a child that must be safely saved.

Although it’s hard to know where to find him in this vast, contaminated land.

“It would be best to find the trail and follow it.”

I didn’t even have a tracker, so that was the only way.

Let’s show off our skills as a mercenary and tracking down monsters.

“There seems to be a trace…the footprints are a little faint.”

I opened my eyes wide and looked around.

It was surprisingly easy to find faint traces because I knew exactly which direction I was going.

The problem was that these traces remained much fainter than expected, and that even these traces would disappear over time.

Why is there no scroll to find people while there are scrolls to find monsters?
