Chapter 141 – 141. Full-Scale Skill Farming

40 minutes have passed since we escaped from the house where the three British people were killed.

We found some traces in the forest.

“There are traces of bullets everywhere.”

“It’s full of blood stains, and there’s a corpse here.”

Two abandoned white bodies.

All bags and belongings had already been taken out.

[Looking at it, I think it was the three colleagues who were hiding in that house earlier.]

Agaf expressing his opinion his. Strangely, I became more talkative. It’s probably because of the penalty for observing traces. It’s still worth holding on.

“Who did I fight with?”

“Yes.”

“Looking at the corpses, it looks like the bullet was hit right in the forehead..”

“They say there’s a sniper.”

First of all, thanks to the faded eyes I’m wearing, I can immediately detect hostile gaze, so I won’t be completely defenseless and sniped. Because I can recognize it the moment the other person recognizes me.

Above all, I am constantly walking in the lead, and the rest of the group is following me while trying to hide and hide as much as possible, so it is almost inevitable that they will find me first.

[In other words, you are now walking through the forest like a thunderbolt without hiding, and the moment your opponent spots you, you can spot them as well, so all those with eyes have become your prey.]

Agaf mumbles to himself again. These are probably the random thoughts I would have had if I hadn’t given Agaf a trail observation.

“Oh right. Ah, Yuna. Take this.”

“Bracelet?”

“If you feed magical power, you will get a shield, so feed magic gemstones before using it.”

“Yes, thank you, brother.”

While I was listening to Agaf’s mumblings and looking around for any other traces, a sudden thought occurred to me and I handed over the magic shield bracelet to Ayuni.

[Well, since you now have a final shield called the Shield of Innocence, there is no need for you to have this. Mmmm.]

Yes, as Agaf said, there is no need to have this. And as a result of a separate experiment with a blood demon in the base labyrinth last time, the magic bracelet was able to block up to three shots from a pistol.

Of course, if you shoot something like an anti-material sniper rifle, it will go right through, but you can somehow block a pistol bullet.

So, I think it would be better to give it to Ayun, who likes to run wild at the front. If you get hit by a gun while fighting, the risk of dying is very high.

For your information, everyone knew that Ayun fought aggressively, so rather than envying the bracelet, they looked at her with concern. I’m afraid I might run wild and get hurt.

“From now on, it seems like the number of people we will encounter will increase, so let’s move around more carefully.”

“Yes, yes..”

“People are the scariest thing.”

[Right, right.]

Agaf now naturally subtly joins conversations with others. Of course, the situation was very funny because only I could hear Agaf’s voice now. Agaf, this guy is reacting like someone who was slightly drunk earlier due to the trace observation penalty.

Well, anyway, I agree with Saeyeon. Basically, people are the scariest.

So, we need to be really careful from now on as traces of other survivors are slowly being discovered.

Unlike ghosts, beasts, and stragglers who have already figured out how to attack, we don’t know how the awakened ones, who are armed with a variety of skills and items, will cause us trouble.

“First, let’s follow the traces left here.”

“Are you going to find me and kill me?”

“That’s right. There are at least seven of them. It’s better to kill them now.”

Looking at the remaining traces, it appears that the men who killed the two British men were gathered together in a group of at least seven people. Moreover, they seem to move quite specifically, so you should be careful.

[Track them carefully and kill them all.]

Okay. I should do that. Being careful means being careful, and skill is skill.

Since there are more than seven people, there must be more than seven skills.

[There may be more than 7 because there may be some with a survival level of 10 or higher.]

You crazy bastard. Are you not willing to stop talking to yourself?

[Sorry sorry. Don’t control yourself. Huh..]

Anyway, I guess I’ll just push it all away and use the skills. The thought of killing foreigners somehow makes me feel like I can kill more happily.

[Isn’t that too racist and nationalistic?]

Well, maybe so. However, after killing nearly hundreds of people, I would like to tell you that killing someone you can communicate with feels quite different from killing someone you cannot communicate with.

This is so funny that the power of language is so great that if you can’t communicate, you can kill it more easily.

Anyway, since there is a skill exchange, I think I need to kill everyone I see and gradually group skills of the same type to specialize the skills of my party members to some extent.

Right now, both Ayun and Saeyeon are a bit confused, perhaps because I gave them too many skills.

From the beginning, I only gave Hyunya magic skills with the intention of raising her like a wizard, but the rest of the staff are not like that.

I would like to match the rest of the party members a bit so that similar skills are balanced, giving them RPG-like jobs like warriors and wizards.

‘It’s a cursed skill that will be created as a skill exchange penalty, just pass it on to someone else… ‘

I think I need a curse to deal with the curse skill.

[I hope you get rid of me from being criticized.. This self-talk penalty. Too big. I was wondering if this was such a severe penalty because you kept muttering until then… But when I experienced it myself, it was quite severe. If you stop thinking about random things, you will start talking to yourself, and if you stop talking to yourself, you will have too many random thoughts..]

No, they said they would endure the penalty as much as possible… But it looks like they have no intention of enduring it at all. No, it seems like this guy is enjoying torturing me by constantly muttering to himself.

Seriously, Agaf, I will never pass the curse skill on to this crazy bastard. If I passed on even a strange curse skill, how bad would they treat me?

“Hmm.”

Anyway, I’ll have to gradually think about whether I should just make a suitable dark spirit and hand it all over to him, or whether I should catch one from the forest and use it.

If the curse is too severe, one way would be to simply erase it with a golden seal. However, for some reason, I feel like this curse skill could be helpful depending on how it is used, so I’m thinking of creating a curse skill just to check.

‘Anyway, with this I… ‘

It is no exaggeration to say that he has reached an absolute position when it comes to handling skills.

You can learn skills through awakening stones, pass them on to others through transfers, or give away trash skills through exchanges and steal the other person’s skills.

In addition, since you can receive back the skills you gave incorrectly and redistribute them, you can literally use the skills freely.

“Sniff.. Cough. Brother. Over there..”

“Oh, I checked. Everyone hush.”

At that time, we discovered about a dozen humans.

Ayuni’s same-sex detection and opposite-sex detection worked simultaneously, and Agaf also informed me of the presence of enemies in the distance through presence detection.

It seemed like the enemies who got closer would also notice our presence, so they stopped.

‘There are as many as ten guys with guns..’

First, I told my companions not to move and to wait for a while.

Anyway, no matter how many people you kill, your survival level will not increase. There is no need to take risks and approach together. All I have to do is enter by myself and wipe out everyone.

Meanwhile, Agaf also kept his mouth shut. It seems that as he got used to it, he just couldn’t hold it in and started flouting it.

‘Whoa.. Let’s see first… ‘

I hid in the bushes and walked towards the white people who were sitting around in the forest chatting and eating biscuits without lighting a fire.

The closer I got, the stronger the smell of cigarettes came into the air. It also had the scent of alcohol.

These guys are very confident. Not only is he burning cigarettes whose smell spreads far away, but he is also drinking alcohol. Are you glad you didn’t eat rice cake?

“Tzueo durnrkkh. Hakkasia Jjujirritz.”

“Tsukavliet. Hehe..”

As I got closer, I could hear them talking. And the clothes I was wearing also caught my eye.

‘In military uniform.. Isn’t Tsukavliet Russian? Are they really Russian soldiers?’

Their true identity was that they were disorganized Russian soldiers. Perhaps my confidence has increased thanks to hunting quite a few other survivors today.

‘Three men and seven women. The sex ratio is also strange…’

Even the woman holding the Mosin-Nagant looked like a captain.

Did they snipe it with that and blow a hole between the eyes of the dead body?

[There are no other signs other than these. Those ten people are the end.]

I nodded at Agaf’s words.

In the meantime, they seemed to have hunted a few more survivors and even piled up the corpses on one side.

It seemed like he was taking a break while searching through the bags of killed game.

Being at rest means that it is the perfect situation to attack and take the enemy by surprise.

‘Let’s go.’

I used presence blocking, recognition-impairing rings, and all other methods to hide my presence, and got as close as possible without being detected by them.

However, he was caught before he could kill one person.

“OMG!!!! Whoa!”

“Huh? Ahhh!!!”

He was caught standing idle in the bushes. I was about to hit my head, but I got caught.

“Die!!!”

Let’s take a look at it first.

-Whoa whoa!!!!

The head of a Russian female soldier who was hit directly by a crushing blow was completely blown off.

This woman was cleaning the Mosin Nagant, which was almost like a spear, with spiked bayonets attached to it, and she looked like the leader of these guys. So I decided to make it my first target.

Of course, the first target is the leader of the enemies.

It’s kind of common sense to start from the top.

“Aaaaah!!!!”

“Tsurikie!!!”

As soon as the captain died, they screamed crazy in Russian and started shooting at me.

-Tung!!! Wow!!

However, all of their gunfire was blocked by the wall’s shield. Bullets cannot penetrate the shield. Moreover, as I expected, the bullet did not even pierce me.

‘It stings… It really stings and hurts… But it doesn’t cause fatal wounds..!!’

This is the power of the durability stat, which has increased by a whopping 8 times. Every time I was hit by a bullet, there was a dull impact and a slight scratch, but the bullet did not pierce my skin.

My stats, which had already been pumped 8 times, had almost the same effect as using Iron Arm Transformation on my entire body. I was dizzy from the unbelievable power.

‘As long as you protect your eyes and testicles properly…’

Once I reached the level of being able to beat a gun with my bare body, I naturally gained tremendous confidence.

‘An individual is handling the military’s firepower.’

But let’s not be too careless. Because among them, there may be some with unique skills.

I tried to avoid their attacks and see through their skills at the same time.

“Oh my.!!”

There were too many reading skills, so I gave up.

Most of them had a survival rating of 10 or higher, so they basically had two or more skills.

I think it would be better to kill these guys quickly before they start messing around and just check the awakening stone.
