Chapter 249 – Dungeons and Joint Quests (1)

Oak.

It has appeared several times in the novels of the writer goddess.

Grey-green skin, ugly face and protruding molar teeth.

Although it is a monster that is more compatible with goblins, it only has more strength, but its intelligence is low and the level of weapons it carries is poor. The feeling of competing with quantity rather than individual specifications.

Yes, it is not very different from the category of orcs we commonly know.

However, the fact that orcs are trash mobs is only a story in novels and games, but if you actually collide with them, the feeling of intimidation will be no joke. It was clear from his experience of fighting goblins directly.

The goblins have Jammin’s level of strength and Jammin’s level of strength, but when they encounter those malevolent movements…

Okay. Choi Baedal also said this. When he locked humans and cats in a small room, did he say that if humans had no weapons, it would be cats who would win?

Anyway, I can’t say I can’t be careless.

Fools rarely showed nervousness. In practice, carelessness is death.

“Where are you?”

“There, over there.”

Tina said in a strained voice, but she was nowhere to be seen. Not only was it out of sight, it wasn’t even on the minimap.

In the direction the finger points, there are just forearm-sized king oyster mushrooms.

“Are there only mushrooms?”

“You said it was a mushroom orc.”

…Mushroom Orcs?

Mushroom Oak? Do orcs eat mushrooms? Were they vegetarian? I don’t think I remember reading anything like that even when I look back at the contents of the novel.

“I don’t think there is a Eucharist.”

“I’m glad. It doesn’t seem like much, so let’s deal with it and go.”

The idiots relaxed when they heard that there was no Eucharist, but I couldn’t keep up with their conversation.

“Wait, I don’t see any orcs, isn’t that right? A green monster with a pig nose. I can only see mushrooms here.”

“Ah… That’s right. Because you are the first If it’s your first time, you might not know.”

Tina smirked and led us to the mushroom. Then she picked up a stone and scraped the root of the mushroom a few times and said,

“It would be faster to see it than to say it a hundred times. I’m watching you.”

Then, he takes a towel from her bag, wraps it around her hands her, and buries them in the dirt. I couldn’t understand this guy’s behavior. What are you doing?

“Great. Got it.”

“What are you doing?”

“I know when I see it.”

Tina then buried her hand in the dirt and pulled out her dagger, slicing off the stem of her mushroom. Are you picking mushrooms? But why are you using such a cumbersome method?

“Ruler. Look at this.”

“… Ugh.” “Kek.”

What Tina brought out from the soil was different in many ways from what I had imagined.

The stump of the pole of the mushroom that had been cut out of the mushroom remained on the upper part, but on the lower part, something like a green dwarf crouched down…

“…Make it?”

“You know that? It seems like you know a lot, and sometimes you don’t. But this is not Mandragora.”

Sure enough, Mandragora is a root that looks like a man, but this isn’t a root, it just looks like a creature.

Tina said triumphantly, as if enjoying our gaze.

“This is called Mushroom Oak. I don’t know when this species first appeared, but unlike other orcs, they reproduce with spores. So, if you see a huge mushroom colony like this, you should check it out before you go.”

“Is that so… “

“The way to deal with these guys is simple. If you cut off the pillar like this, you will die. How is it? Is it very easy?”

“Uh… Yes… ?”

I had my doubts.

“If you die just by cutting off the pillar, shouldn’t you just cut it off with a knife? Why did you put your hand in it?”

“That’s because… “

Tina smiled as if she was enjoying the focused gaze.

“These guys make a terrible noise when they cut down the pillars. That’s how you call your own people around you. Even if there were no people of his own kind, if he shouted like that, monsters could gather around him. I’m going to block this guy’s mouth with a towel like this and kill him.”

“I see… “

Well. A small okra, but an orc is an orc. I can’t tell you how ugly it is. I’m sure the screaming sounds terrible too.

Zinnia continued to explain.

“As I said before, mushroom orcs literally reproduce by spraying spores. If you just leave it alone, it will grow quickly. Even if it’s a little annoying, I have to deal with it.”

“I don’t know about other clans, but we have rules that we have to deal with when we see colonies like this.”

I think you know the omitted words later. I think I heard people say, ‘Because we’re a big clan’.

“Now, I want you guys to help me too. You know how? Put his hand in the dirt, find his mouth his, cover it with a towel, and cut out the pole. You can’t even pull it out or take it out. Like Mandragora, it screams when exposed to sunlight.”

“Okay…”

It’s embarrassing it’s embarrassing Should I grope the eyes, nose, and mouth of that ugly creature with my hands to find it? Ugh, if you look closely, the disgusting green liquid is dripping from your eyes, nose and mouth, right?

“Oh, and throw away only the hat and body parts. I will burn the god and monster parts, but save the pillars separately.”

“Why? Can’t we just burn them all at once?”

“There is a demand for the pillar part.”

“… Demand?”

“It seems to be treated as gourmet by some people. I’m not good.”

I was stunned.

No, to be precise, mushrooms are the reproductive organs of mycelium. And Mushroom Orcs reproduce by spores. Then, eating the mushrooms of an orc is the same as eating an orc’s genitals…!

Besides, not so much? You mean this guy ate this!

Writer Goddess Yangban. Can I do this? Depshow that your followers, creatures, or whatever eats orc genitalia?!

「…」

Hey!!!!

It was obvious, but there was no response from the system. My fingertips didn’t tingle or tingle. There hasn’t been any interaction lately, but it seems like I’m feeling sad because there’s no reaction at all.

“Come on, hurry up. It will be late.”

“…”

At Tina’s urging, I had no choice but to return to the harsh reality.

I sighed deeply and tried to put her hand into the soil when suddenly Ariel pulled me.

“For a moment.”

“Yes?”

“If the sound is the problem, let me silence you.”

“!”

There is such a good way. Come to think of it, these guys are also Zinia wizards. Why would you let such a good method go and do the disgusting thing of groping monsters with your hands like that? Also, these guys are incredible idiots…

Zinnia tackled her right away.

“Silence is range magic that blocks sound, right? You never know what might be approaching around you, so it’s dangerous to block out the sound.”

“Okay? Can’t we just bet on these mushrooms?”

Zinnia answered.

“There is a minimum amount of mana required for magic. If you use less mana than that, the magic won’t activate. And in the case of Silence, the minimum range is slightly beyond this hive. That’s why I’m using such a cumbersome method.”

Is it?

Well, it’s me, with the help of the system, when I use magic, I can set the range as I please, but it’s difficult for the locals.

But Ariel didn’t care.

“My specialty is fine-tuning mana. It’s not even a matter of specifying it at the level of half a fingernail.”

“No matter how…What?!”

Ariel did not wait and pulled out the mushroom. This guy is full of confidence!

“!”

I saw An ugly green monster screaming with its eyes open!

…But I couldn’t hear it. But looking at it, it feels like the sound is automatically playing in my brain.

“…They have skills.”

“Hmm.”

Ariel only cleared her throat at Tina’s absurd sound of her. However, the subtle ticking of the ears her is quite proud. This guy is excited, excited! If there is a time to use magic, commit it and see.

Seriously, should I say it’s a pity that I’m always aiming for an angle to use magic, or should I say it’s admirable.

“Okay. Good job.”

“Well?”

“Oh sorry.”

Without realizing it, I stroked Ariel’s hair. I feel sorry for this guy because he is doing something unfortunate.

“No, it’s okay. Never mind.”

Fortunately, Ariel didn’t look so upset.

Um, but this is pretty embarrassing. I even had sex, but stroking his hair his is another feeling.

“Yes? What’s the matter?”

“…No.”

What was it?

Lenny, who was wearing a burqa, pushed her body out and fell right off.

Ms. Lenny, can you be jealous of things like this? Then you got embarrassed and left right away?

“Great. Then you won’t have to worry about the sound. Shall we hurry up and go?”

Tina’s cheery voice made us move.

…

-Keeeee

“!”

It wasn’t long after the mushrooms were picked that a terrifying scream resounded as if scratching the eardrum. We reflexively crouched down.

“Look, that’s why you shouldn’t use magic…!”

“Not me.”

-Keew!

Screams rang out once again. Certainly, it is not the sound of the mushrooms we have scattered. A sound from over the hill.

“This is the direction we said we should go. Should I check?”

“Okay.”

A quick exchange of views with Tina.

We left the mushrooms and headed in the direction of the sound.

“It’s over this hill.”

When he poked his head out over the ridge of the hill, what he could see behind him were slaughtered orcs and beasts hunting the orcs.

Lion? Tiger? A beast of prey that is difficult to define.

“That’s a saber tire.”

“… Not Ryan?”

“Tiger.”

…In this neighborhood, cats with manes are called tigers. My head hurts. But that didn’t matter.

The females without a mane are normal, if normal, but the male watching from afar has huge teeth.

“I know that too. See those teeth?”

Glass burst out.

“The saber tiger is a species that can only be found in dungeons. Its habits are not much different from those of the lions down there in the south. The male leads the pack and the female hunts. But the funny thing is those teeth.”

Yuri was strangely excited about boasting of his knowledge of him. It was as if he was bragging about the knowledge he had seen on Namu Wiki, but he would get angry if I pointed it out.

“They say he can’t eat properly and dies early because of his teeth. They live leading females and can’t even hunt properly, so they only mate all day long.”

“Hmm.”

The eyes of the children focused on me at the sound of mating all day long.

“…”

Why are you looking at me like that, you ungrateful ones!!!
