CH 156

In front of Jeong Dae Nam, who entered the portal, he could see a green meadow and a dense, light green forest in the distance.

Jeong Dae Nam, distracted for a moment by the clear natural scenery rather than the bleak inside of the tunnel work site, was hurriedly awakened by the sound of the explosion.

Boom!!

When I turned my head, I saw Jun-woo tearing the grass and turning the ground.

Holes were being dug here and there by the explosion.

Jeong Dae Nam, who had been questioning what he was doing for a while, saw a phrase in front of him.

[Quest has occurred.]

[After 3 hours, you disappear from here. If you return to the exit portal, you cannot re-enter.]

Lloyd said to Jeong Dae Nam, who was looking at the quests he could do.

“The view is nice.”

“Yeah? Oh yes, I know, right.”

“It sounds like a great place to pack a packed lunch and have a picnic, but let’s do it somewhere else, and now we’ll think about what to do.”

“Yes, but what about Master?”

Jun-woo, who had turned the ground upside down, approached and spoke.

“It’s been dug up, but is there a place I can go in?”

“Iced coffee… When it comes to digging, miners like us have to come up with an indescribable feeling… ….”

It was Jun-woo who dug up the ground too recklessly.

The meadow was not even considered a special place.

In the eyes of miner Jeong Dae Nam, Jun-woo was wasting time and mana.

Jun-woo also knew how ignorant he was.

It was just an act because he had nothing to do during the five minutes he was waiting for Jeong Dae Nam.

As Jun-woo was looking at him, Jeong Dae Nam said urgently.

“Well, the distance to the artifact must have gotten closer, so I’ll take a look.”

“Yes, Lloyd, take good care of me. Is there any problem here?”

“Sure, it’s kind of boring.”

“Then I’ll ask Jeong Dae Nam.”

“Yes, Master.”

“I will be back.”

“Fighting, Master.”

Jun-woo flew quickly to complete the quest given to him.

As the two of them watched Jun-woo fly, Lloyd opened his mouth.

“Okay then, let’s find a legendary artifact.”

“Ha-ha…, the legend… ….”

Glad you found something.

“That’s what it means. Where shall we start?”

“Because you dug it first, I’ll touch it and find out.”

“Yeah.”

Jeong Dae Nam hurriedly threw himself into the pit that Jun-woo had dug.

Jeong Dae Nam, seated below, squatted down, placed his hands on the floor, and closed his eyes.

Jeong Dae Nam felt the Earth’s energy as if a doctor was diagnosing a patient with a hearing aid.

When he felt something warm, Jeong Dae Nam opened his eyes, puzzled.

Jeong Dae Nam looked down at the floor and said to Lloyd, who was watching.

“I think we should dig this way.”

“Yes, let’s get started. I will come after picking some fruit.”

Jeong Dae Nam asked, confused.

“Yeah? If a monster suddenly comes, uh, what do I do?”

“It will not go out of detection range. It won’t happen, but if a monster comes, run to me. The direction is over there.”

“Ah yes… …. I see, Lloyd.”

“Do not worry. My sensing ability is very good.”

“Yes, Yes.”

“Then, I’ll be back in a little while.”

“Yes, please go, Lloyd.”

As Lloyd suddenly disappeared, Jeong Dae Nam pulled out items to be used for diggings, such as a shovel and pickaxe sandbag, from the item window.

Then he dug up the ground with all his might with a shovel.

‘Do you two believe in me? … . What if I find an artifact and pretend, I don’t know… ….’

I had no intention of doing that, but I wanted to show the results of Jeong Dae Nam to the two people who believed in him.

Depending on the result, appropriate rewards would be given to himself and to the many guild members waiting outside.

Jeong Dae Nam clenched his teeth and dug and dug up the ground.

A deep burrow was made, and the item support was used to protect the soil from collapsing, and Jeong Dae Nam continued to enter.

The closer I got, the more convinced I was that something was there.

When the soil was dug with a shovel, the ground was sucked into the sandbag, a miner-only item.

The shiny thing that could not get into the sandbag at that time fell on the dirt floor.

A sparkling green jewel, Jeong Dae Nam held it with a puzzled face.

[Jewel with the energy of the forest]

-Class: Unique

-Description: A precious ingredient that seems to energize.

– Item value: 3,465,500,000

“Good!”

It was a great gain I had not seen in a long time, so he was a Jeong Dae Nam who screamed out loud.

Jeong Dae Nam then went up to the ground and slowly looked around.

Jeong Dae Nam, who had explored all the land that Jun-woo had turned upside down, tilted his head.

“One time here… ….”

Jeong Dae Nam, who lifted the shovel, looked to the right once.

At the place where Jun-woo flew, a forest was burning with the sound of an explosion.

‘Awesome…, do you want to catch the boss too… ….’

If you catch a tree spirit that is expected to be the boss, everyone who came in could get a bonus stat of 10.

“Ha-ha…, I wish… ….”

With a pleasant smile, Jeong Dae Nam put the shovel into the ground.

A lump of dirt caught in the shovel flew backward.

When he turned his head to some kind of energy, he saw Lloyd returning leisurely.

It was Lloyd biting an apple-like fruit.

If he collected 80, your stamina increases by 2, so it was on the way back from doing it.

“You worked hard. Do it while eating one fruit.”

“Oh, thank you. Prin berries, they taste good, and they are expensive ingredients.”

Prin was famous for its expensive fruits.

It tasted better than apples, and because it had the effect of restoring vitality, it was a fruit that even made you feel better.

Jeong Dae Nam, who had shaken the dirt off his hand, took a bite of the green fruit.

“What did you come up with?”

“Ah, here, I picked up a jewel. The seat that Master gave is correct.”

“OH.”

When he was handed the jewel, Lloyd checked it with his eyes and put it in the item window.

“Thank you. I’ll settle it later.”

“Yes, Yes.”

“Do you think it is no longer here? Shall we change places?”

“Yes, let’s move.”

“Where would you like to go? Shall we go to the Master? It’s a place where most of the monsters have been subjugated.”

“Let’s do it.”

The two headed towards the burning forest.

When Lloyd extended his hands and emitted a powerful shock wave, a part of the burning forest flew away, and the area was clean.

The two walked into the scorching heat.

“Let’s explore.”

“Yes, I will start.”

Jeong Dae Nam raised his hand over the burnt grass and worked while Lloyd looked around and turned his head in the direction Jun-woo was flying.

Jun-woo was slaughtering monsters and looking for the boss here.

Just catching a bonus stat of 10. It was an existence that had to be seen.

phut

Jun-woo, who fired mana cannon at the muscular tree, turned his head to the right.

There, there stood a huge purple tree hall that looked like it could be 5m tall.

There were no trees around the tree, and purple-tinted leaves could be seen in places like the border.

The tree spirit said to be polluted seemed to be that guy.

Now that the direction has been decided, Jun-woo approaches the boss while catching monsters to break the quest.

The Earth was getting wet somewhere, and the grass had melted.

Jun-woo led 5 cannonballs and 4 defense robots to the border where the forest was dying.

Something quickly approached the boss’s range.

Jun-woo immediately flew high into the sky, and several rough stems soared up from the floor and followed him.

Jun-woo flew away and attacked a huge tree that reached 5m.

Boom!

The guided bomb self-destructs with energy bullets. Everything flew towards the boss and collided with it.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

The bark that made up the tree fell off, and the boss lost his balance and fell backward.

In an instant, the stems quickly soared from the floor and supported the boss.

Hundreds of stems soared from the floor and tried to carry Jun-woo, but Jun-woo flew quickly and avoided all the stems.

The stems continued to follow, and when the branches were tightened in all directions, Jun-woo’s position was changed.

The stems gathered in the air and fell to the floor, and the boss’s body staggered again at the attack from the back of his head.

On the floor, defensive robots were smashing the roots of the boss.

Rough poison gas was emitted from the mouth in the center of the wooden boss’s body.

When the defense robots blew away all at once, the floor in the area melted.

Swoosh!

Boom!!

The boss, shaking his head, took his eyes off the flashing defense robot and turned to Jun-woo.

A huge stem soared and swung like a whip, aiming at Jun-woo, but only the stem was twisted.

Koo!

The clustered stems landed on the floor, and hundreds of branches chased Jun-woo, but Jun-woo used the position change and warp to trick the boss.

Swoosh!

The shells were torn off, and the boss moved four defense robots to the stem, hoping to catch even a defense robot, gathered them in one place, and emitted poison gas.

Spoof!

The stems that touched the poison gas melted, and the defense robot was released.

The defense robot, whose body was slightly melted, scattered in all directions and started hitting the boss again, and a self-destructive bird flew and collided with the back of the head.

Boom!!

The branches of the upper body and the shells of the area that can be called the back of the head fell off as they were.

The tree fell forward as it was, and as the cannonball and defense robots started hitting from all directions, the bark continued to be torn off.

He tried to get himself up with his stalked hands, but energy bullets continued to fly from behind.

Swoosh!

thud

A huge tree about to get up just hit the floor, and a self-destructive robot fell on its back, leaving a large hole in its body.

Boom!!

[Bonus stats have been increased by 10 as a quest reward.]

Jun-woo sat on the fallen giant tree and looked in the direction the item was coming up.

A book and paper came up along with some trees.

Jun-woo landed down and picked up them one by one.

[Lv.1 Forest Breath]

-Class: Unique

-Active: Fires a breath that deals 150+ [Magical Power] damage in an area. [Consumes 40 Mana] [Cooldown 15 seconds]

-Item value: 68.8,000,000

The poison gasses the boss was using seemed to come out of a skill book.

Next, Jun-woo grabbed a piece of paper with a gold border that gave it a mysterious feeling.

[Paper made of Yggdrasil x20] [Belonged]

-Rank: Unique+

-Classification: Consumable

-Description: Paper used for making blueprints. You can expect better results than regular paper.

– Item value: 200,000,000,000

It was the paper used for the blueprints.

Given that it is a property, the probability that it is an item given to the makers is high.

Since he didn’t even know there was such a thing, Jun-woo was puzzled.

‘Oh, does it come out if you catch a tree?’

Since the rating was high, I expected it would not come out so much, but I felt satisfied because I thought it would be used in an important place next time.

Jun-woo puts three wooden materials used for a staff or a wooden shield into the item window, and just as he was about to move again, Lloyd’s shock wave was generated in the air.

Swoosh!

“Yes?”

As if calling, Jun-woo flew towards Lloyd.

I asked when I landed on the floor.

“Did you call? Lloyd.”

“Take this with you, Master.”

White petals were sprouting up in the burned forest.

-Method: HP increases by 1 for every fresh blade of grass obtained. [0/1]

It was fresh grass, and Jun-woo picked it up with a grin.

[Health has increased by 1 as a quest reward.]

“Thank you, Lloyd.”

“If we find it again, we will contact you, Master.”

“Yeah, I’ll go. Take good care of Jung Dae Nam.”

“You don’t have to worry. Then I will look for it again.”

Jun-woo flew up again with a light smile.

During the remaining time, he had to catch as many monsters as possible and get a lot of rewards, so he had no time to rest.
