Chapter 211 – Martial Arts District (6)

After defeating Chusanje, there was nothing rough.

Siu picked a herb that shimmered with golden light. It was Sanhwangcho at its peak of weakness.

Certainly, a skilled guide was different. In one day, he collected ten heads of Sanhwangcho.

Galcheon said in a tired voice.

“Whoa.. This is all the Sanhwangcho I saw at the beginning of Dokgok. Now I have to go through them one by one. It would be hard to dig one in a day.”

“Then let’s go to the center. Didn’t I say that there were many?”

Galcheon, who was watching, said.

“Actually···. I was thinking of stopping it until Daehyeop took care of Chusanjeo. It was embarrassing because I felt like I was driving my benefactor to death.”

“It’s okay, don’t worry about it.”

“Yes. I will guide you to the heart of Dokgok.”

*

The gray fog gradually thickened. How long did it take

Galcheon stopped walking. He looked ahead with a cautious expression and said.

“Im here. It is the center from the swamp in front of you.”

A dark green swamp could be seen through the fog.

Bubbles bubbled on the surface. A faint grayish smoke billowed out whenever the airdrop exploded.

This swamp was the boundary between the beginning of Dokgok and the center.

“… Are you really okay? Unlike the beginning, the center has poison in the air. It is a dangerous place where you can get poisoned just by breathing.”

“Hmm..”

He came closer and took a breath. The tip of her nose tingled like she had eaten wasabi.

After thinking about it for a bit, I tried to put the tip of her finger into the swamp. I had to go in knowing how much poison it was.

“…It stings quite a bit, doesn’t it?”
“It stings..?!”

He smiled at the terrified Galcheon and said.

“Anyway, if you cross this road, are you sure Sanhwangcho is everywhere?”

“···Yes. Gatherers will never take it beyond this, so there will be mountain yellow grass everywhere.”

I took a closer look at the swamp. Piles of rocks and dirt were sparsely connected like stepping stones.

It seemed like I could just step on it and cross it.

“Good job guiding you. This is a reward.”

After throwing a fist-sized lump of gold at Galchun, he moved on.

A belated sound was heard.

“Uh..? Great, great! This is too much!”

I waved my hand roughly and crossed the swamp. Every time the air bubbles exploded, the rising smoke caused a slight headache.

However, thanks to the strong body, I quickly got used to it. The unpleasant smell was over.

‘Have you already developed antibodies?’

Physical strengthening strengthens all the abilities of the body. Thanks to this, even tolerance was rapidly developed.

It was a good thing, but at the same time it was difficult.

‘Certainly the serpent’s poison bag won’t be enough..?’

You have to destroy your body with poison to train yourself. It would be difficult if antibodies were formed even before he was properly trained.

‘Should I get another Dokdo?’

Stepping over mounds of dirt and crossing the swamp, he hesitated. The scent of mint lingered on the tip of his nose.

‘This smell…’

I focused on my sense of smell and looked around. A large tree was visible through the thick fog. He ran towards the pile of dirt he could see below.

Dig.

I jumped more than 10 meters and arrived at a wide dirt island. The pile of soil gathered around the tree was like an island floating in the sea.

“Oh!”

Seeing the floor that was hidden by the fog, the colors turned bright.

A pile of sanhwangcho was visible. At a glance, more than a dozen give up. As the guide said, they were all over the place.

Chew!

I picked whatever I could get my hands on. Sweeped into the inventory. Other people would have to use Sanhwangcho within 5 days, but that wasn’t the case for him.

If you put it in your inventory, time won’t pass.

Taat!

They moved around the island without hesitation. Not only Sanhwangcho, but also other medicinal herbs were found.

From mushrooms that emit blue fluorescence to gray roots with stripes. It’s mostly poison, but it didn’t matter.

If poison was used well, it was no different from an elixir.

‘I’ll have to give her Hwarin and Sohyang as well.’

In less than an hour, only Sanhwangcho alone had grown over 100 heads. It was rewarding to come here after all the hard work.

“Hmm?”

While digging Sanhwangcho with excitement, I suddenly turned my head in a strange feeling.

Sseuseuk.

Before I knew it, a lizard crawled right next to me. It was a small guy the size of the palm of my hand. Yellow eyes flashed against his dark gray skin.

‘What kind of legs do you have so many?’

The lizard has 8 legs.

– Key profit!

The boy’s movements became alert, as if he knew that he had been caught. Eight legs moved quickly.

I ran as if I was going to bite his ankle. But even so, it’s a small beast.

I pressed it down with the entire sword sheath.

-Keeeeek! Kiek!

He struggled, shaking his eight legs.

Despite being subdued, the ferocious momentum did not diminish. He howled wildly and clenched his teeth.

He was a very aggressive guy.

The scabbard was used like a stick. I hit it and threw it away, and it ran again.

‘It looks a bit like an alligator… Where did you see this?’

If the senses hadn’t become sensitive with the Chloride Secret Technique. He wouldn’t have known until he bit his ankle.

‘Could Galcheon have been hurt by this guy?’

I thought about it for a while and then I turned it off. There was no reason to keep poisons that attack humans alive.

Chew!

He was cut from head to tail with a single knife. There was a particularly strong smell of blood.

He squatted on the ground and gathered mountain yellow grass. Dozens of them disappeared into the inventory.

The moment he stretched out his hand toward the last mountain heath.

The back of the head was creepy. He reflexively kicked the ground.

Kwaaang!

The ground he was standing on exploded. I would have been swept away if I had been delayed even for an instant.

A giant lizard emerged from the swamp.

It was nearly 20 meters long and had two heads. It had 8 legs as thick as a log.

Wow!

The huge body that rose up fell to the ground. The dark green marshes scattered in all directions like waves.

-Kraaaaak!

The long, crocodile-like snout flared open. The dozens of sharp teeth looked like skewers.

Drops of saliva dripped down. Every time I touched the floor, I smelled a rotten smell.

A monster encyclopedia I had seen before suddenly came to mind.

‘Basilisk?’

It was similar in appearance to an S-class monster. The only difference is that it has two heads and a blunt horn on its forehead.

Paper weave.

Lightning flashed from the horns on both heads.

-Kreur..!

The monster’s eyes were full of anger. I thought it was the mother of the lizard I just killed.

The moment I saw the bright yellow eyes. The body stiffened. He stared at the two pairs of eyes as if possessed.

I couldn’t take my eyes off of it.

‘Magic eyes!’

It was a demonic eye that would make you petrified just by looking at it.

I don’t know why it’s here, but the basilisk was right. It was also a mutated object.

He didn’t really turn into stone, probably because he had no magical powers. However, the original power of the Mystic Eye remained. It was hard to lift one of his fingers.

– Kreuk! Kruck!

The guy who had been approaching slowly, as if mocking, stopped. The guy’s throat swelled and he opened his mouth.

Chow!

Something dark red shot out. It was the tongue that was shot with the momentum to pierce the heart.

Awesome!

A blue slash cut through the swamp. The severed tongue tumbled out.

– Kwaaaaagh!

The basilisk screamed and struggled. The swamp roared as the giant monster went mad.

‘It’s a waste.’

When he caught his guard and approached, he tried to slice it at once, but it was regrettable.

Before he knew it, his magic power was pumped up from the connected magic core. The stiff muscles were released at once and the strength overflowed.

I stepped on the air and rushed at him. Half of the magic cores have already been consumed.

He had to do it fast.

He aimed at the massive head and swung his sword. The strong qi of intense brilliance touched the mass of his flesh.

Chow!

Like an S-class monster, I could feel the heavy resistance. His muscles are tougher than steel. However, there was no way he could withstand the sword steel without magic.

A large head flew through the air. It splashed and fell into the swamp.

-Keeeee

The time when I was about to cut off the remaining hair.

Support position!

Sparks flashed from the blunt horns. The moment I recognized it, my whole body relaxed.

Good luck flowing water.

Kwalung!

My eyes flashed. The intense electric shock tried to burn my skin. He focused his mind and guided the thunderbolt.

Bright yellow lightning bolts swept everywhere.

“Tsk..”

To discharge such lightning without magic. As a mutant object, it was not an ordinary S-class monster.

I shook my numb fingertips and looked around. The huge body disappeared before I knew it. He hid in a swamp.

I set my senses up, but I didn’t feel anything.

Looking at the swamp that has become quiet before I know it. What just happened seemed like a lie.

After thinking for a while, I put the sword in.

“Ah… That’s it.”

He turned his back and left. Stepping on the debris that fell on the floor, I moved to another island.

At that time, I was peacefully collecting more than a dozen Sanhwangcho.

Chow!

The basilisk approached silently and opened his mouth wide. Venom glistened on her sharp teeth.

That moment. She pulled out a translucent thread between her eyebrows. The indigo thread that flew like a shot was stuck in the crown of the basilisk.

The huge body stopped like a lie. Only 1-2 seconds. It wasn’t a long time.

Squeak.

But it was long enough for his head to be cut off. Pretending to be careless, he prepared a chlorine secret technique and cut it down with a single knife.

At the same time as he swung his final blade, his magic core ran out.

“Whoa..”

I’m really relaxed now. He let out a sigh and smiled.

The soil that touched the basilisk’s blood melted.

The whole body was poisoned. In other words, it was no different from a lump of elixir.
