CH 157

Jun-woo hunted by burning forests everywhere, while Jeong Dae Nam dug the ground to find something special.

While doing it, Lloyd was riding around Jeong Dae Nam on his flying bike.

Lloyd’s pupils scanning the floor continued to move from side to side.

There was a reward for increasing stamina by 1 for each fresh blade of grass, so Lloyd was concentrating on finding the blade of grass.

Lloyd turned around when the flying bike stopped abruptly.

A single white leaf of grass had sprouted on the floor where the ashes fluttered.

With a light smile, Lloyd rode the bike again.

Lloyd approached Jeong Dae Nam, and as he landed on the floor, he held out his palm toward the approaching wooden golem.

Energy bullets gathered in the palm of his hand, reaching the size of a bowling ball and flying quickly towards the wooden golem.

Swoosh!

The energy bullet flew straight and passed through the tree golem’s body.

Lloyd, who had already been injured by Jun-woo, who had dealt with it in one shot, digs into the ground and shouts at Jeong Dae Nam, who can’t even be seen.

“It’s taken care of, so don’t worry.”

“Thank you!”

“Then I will go back.”

“Yeah!”

Lloyd rode his flying bike back to a place he had never been.

Lloyd wandered around the neighborhood with a small peak.

“Oh, found.”

Lloyd, who found one more, was about to move the bike with a satisfied smile, but his head turned to the side.

“What?”

When there was another one not far away, Lloyd quickly moved around the area.

A total of three were located near the peaks.

The small peak, Lloyd, looked at the place and returned to Jeong Dae Nam.

Jeong Dae Nam, who had moved to the place and was shaking the ground, looked at Lloyd.

“Did you find some leaves of grass?”

“Yes, there are strangely many over there, three.”

“Oh, congratulations.”

“If there is no place to sell, would you like to go over there?”

“Yes, it is.”

“Follow me.”

Lloyd took Jeong Dae Nam to a small, grassy peak.

“Would you like to have a drink here?”

Jeong Dae Nam, looking at the white grass on the floor, hurriedly looked at the peak.

There could have been a space inside a huge, small peak rather than a royal tomb.

“Yes, I will check it out.”

Jeong Dae Nam concentrated his mind and put his hand on the stone.

When no energy was identified, Jeong Dae Nam changed places several times and hovered around the peak.

Then he nodded once and spoke.

“I think it’s worth digging here.”

“Let’s start.”

“Yeah!”

Jeong Dae Nam began to dig a hole in the stone using the excavator that Jun-woo had made.

Jeong Dae Nam, who drilled four holes and put explosives in them, fell backward and exploded them.

Boom!!

Lloyd’s hair fluttered backward in the explosion, and Lloyd lowered his hand.

The dust settled quickly.

The stones fell and made a hole, but the stone wall was still visible.

Jeong Dae Nam put his hand against the wall.

“I think there is something.”

“Oh, please hurry.”

“Yes, Yes!”

Jeong Dae Nam took out his pickaxe and started to shoot it blindly.

Bang!

The stone shattered, and the pickaxe went inside.

As I pulled out the pickaxe with all my might, the stones fell out, and I saw a hole leading into it.

Jeong Dae Nam made space by pulling out the stones by hand and putting a magic lamp inside.

Then he put his face to the hole and shouted hastily.

“There is!”

“What do you have?”

“Try it for yourself.”

As Jeong Dae Nam moved away, Lloyd put his face in the hole.

Its floor was made of blackish-brown soil, and white fresh grass leaves were growing at regular intervals as if grown.

There were well over 20.

Lloyd said with a satisfied smile.

“Good, good.”

“Master will like it, Lloyd.”

“I’m sure there will be good things for Jeong Dae Nam, too, although it will be a gold reward.”

“Oh, thank you. I like gold better than stats, ha-ha… ….”

Jeong Dae Nam scratched the back of his head with an awkward smile.

“Okay then, let’s go again.”

“Yes, Yes!”

Having set the direction to where Jun-woo had passed, they moved in a hurry.

At that time, Jun-woo was slaughtering monsters.

Dryads and wooden monsters, a female human monster surrounded by leaves, attacked, but they were weak enough that even a defense robot could not properly handle them.

Pop!

Jun-woo, who annihilated the monster in one place, flew again and moved.

When I looked down at the monster’s energy, I saw a mandragora, about 150 years old, whose hair was made of green leaves and had a body that looked like giant ginseng.

-Method: HP increases by 2 for every 5 Mandragoras you catch. [4/5]

As Jun-woo knew, Mandragora was a difficult monster to find on hunting grounds.

It was a monster that gave a lot of expensive medicines and ingredients, and even a binding elixir that raises stats just by eating it.

Jun-woo immediately fired a mana cannon and opened fire.

Swoosh!

Protecting herself with a shield, Mandragora tries to run away with her two rooted feet, but a defensive robot catches up and kicks Mandragora’s back.

Puck!

Mandragora, who fell down, could not resist properly and became Jun-woo’s quest sacrifice.

[Health has increased by 2 as a quest reward.]

The defensive robot grabbed the fallen drug and ran after Jun-woo as it was.

Boom!!

Jun-woo, who gave the monsters a self-destruct robot, came down to the floor and summoned a cannonball robot to attack in all directions.

The bark was torn off, and the leaves were torn off.

[Intellect increased by 2 as a quest reward.]

After clearing out all the monsters, Jun-woo flew away again.

This place was quite spacious.

Although it didn’t reach the edge of the border, it was enough field to hold monsters for 3 hours.

Jun-woo slaughtered monsters and looked around at a huge tree.

It was a huge tree that seemed to be sticking out alone in the thick forest, and it was bigger than the boss Jun-woo caught, so it was a huge tree that was about 15m in height.

Jun-woo flew there immediately.

Jun-woo, many monsters in the forest went to the tree while dealing with them.

Boom!!

The branch behind Jun-woo was burned by the explosion, and the front was a sunny forest full of green.

The huge tree in the middle of the forest that was starting to show up looked bigger and bigger when I looked at it up closely.

A huge tree with a circumference of 30 m is likely to exceed.

Jun-woo was looking up at the tree, though that fresh grass might be somewhere on the branch, so he flew up and quickly searched for the big tree.

However, only the leaves were growing, and the Prin fruit required by the quest was not seen.

Jun-woo, who landed on the floor, looked at the tree.

If I explode this seemingly special tree, maybe even a tree used as a material will come out. Jun-woo summoned a self-destructing robot without any special thought.

Jun-woo, who summoned three self-destruct robots the size of a small refrigerator in front of a tree, changed their position to the back and exploded them.

Boom!!

It didn’t budge, as if the tree had withstood the explosion.

The trees here are weak like the trees on Earth, and they tend to burst out in explosions, but this tree stayed there as if nothing had happened.

‘Well?’

When he saw a tree standing steadfastly, Jun-woo kept his distance and summoned a cannonball robot in all directions.

It was intended to be smashed.

Then I wondered if there was something there.

Jun-woo also took out a mana cannon and took a pose, then dust was blown away by the wind, and a hole in the place where the explosion occurred was visible.

Jun-woo approached the place with puzzled eyes.

There was enough space for a person to enter, the inside of the tree was empty, and there was a cave below that could fit a person.

Jun-woo put himself in the cave without hesitation with a curious face.

As we followed the cave path leading down, the cave gradually expanded.

As I walked along the cave path that seemed to be about 3m in width and length, I felt the energy of a monster.

Probably mandragora, as expected, there were two huge lumps of ginseng.

When they saw Jun-woo, they hurriedly stretched out their hands and summoned a tapered stem from the floor to attack Jun-woo.

A stick-like stem pierced Jun-woo’s thigh, but there was no damage.

Mandragora was a level 60 monster and was a monster with poor combat ability.

Four defensive robots ran and punched the two.

Swoosh!

As the crops were destroyed, the counter number of Jun-woo’s quest went up.

Jun-woo continued to enter.

As I entered, I felt this place was like a dungeon where only Mandragora existed.

[Health has increased by 2 as a quest reward.]

[As a quest reward… ….]

Jun-woo caught the 25th mandragora there.

It felt very reassuring to enjoy the effect of increasing my stamina by 10.

[Health has increased by 2 as a quest reward.]

One more reward occurred, and Jun-woo continued to go inside.

When he reached the end and saw a mandragora standing in front of the wall, Jun-woo’s eyes lit up.

That mandragora was different from other mandragoras.

The leaves that made up the hair were gold.

The value of gold, a mineral that is flying on Earth, has plummeted, but the meaning of the gold monster at the gate is great.

Golden Goblin, Golden Mimic, Golden Mandragora, etc. If something was surrounded by gold, it was a special monster, a target that had to be caught aside from everything.

The discovery itself was a legendary existence called a miracle monster.

Jun-woo couldn’t help but be surprised as a monster full of rumors.

Golden Mandragora hastily launched a root attack at the defending robot.

The raised root touched the defending robot’s chest and was pushed back.

Despite several attacks, the defending robot did not respond and was hit.

Jun-woo was worried as he looked at the golden leaves.

‘Gold?’

Perhaps it was a mistake. Jun-woo took out a magic lamp and lit it closer to Mandragora.

In any case, it was a golden leaf.

Puck puck!

Rooted attacks continued to push back the defending robot.

‘What do we do… ….’

It was Jun-woo who wanted to search and get advice.

[Blessing Scroll] [Binding] x2

-Rank: Unique+

-Effect: Increases the chance of obtaining experience, gold, and items for 1 hour by 700%.

A spell book that is saved from catching a powerful boss.

Jun-woo’s contemplation on whether to use one or not continued for several minutes.

While clenching his teeth and attacking with a desperate expression, Mandragora realized that the attack was not working, stopped the attack, and put on a fearful face.

‘Jeong Dae Nam is from this direction, so do you know well? Lloyd also had a lot of magazines…, let’s get some advice.’

After going to their place and asking, Jun-woo pondered whether or not to come back.

If the mandragora disappeared while Jun-woo was away, trouble could arise, so Jun-woo was planning to take the golden mandragora with him.

‘listen.’

When the four stationary defense robots moved, Mandragora raised a hand on her head in amazement and ripped off a golden leaf.

‘for a moment.’

Then he offered it to me to take it.

Jun-woo approached and grabbed it.

[Golden Mandragora Leaves]

-Rank: Unique+

-Description: A leaf with mysterious effects.

-Item value: 270,000,000,000,000

Jun-woo was quite surprised by the value of the item.

270 billion gold per leaf seemed to be given as a wish to save him, but what Jun-woo wanted was a mysterious binding elixir that he could obtain from Mandragora.

Mandragora had become a non-preemptive monster that no longer attacked.

Monsters sometimes gave up on their attacks when they realized they were meaningless, but this is the case now.

“No, I can’t save you with this.”

The golden mandragora, drawing an awkward smile, was surprised to see if he understood Jun-woo’s words.

Golden Mandragora hurriedly ripped off another leaf from her head.

“Would you like one more?”

Mandragora shook her head and set it on the floor.

A leaf slammed into the ground, and Mandragora infused mana with both hands.

Jun-woo watched and waited for a while.

So I waited ten minutes.

Gradually, golden leaves grew to form a stem and became lush golden grass, and fruit was produced among the leaves.

The grass died and fell when the weary mandragora picked a golden fruit as small as a raspberry.

Mandragora immediately handed it to Jun-woo.

[Fruit of Mysterious Nature] [Belonging]

-Rank: Unique+

-Effect: A beneficial effect occurs when eaten.

– Item value: 200,000,000,000

It was an inherited item.

“Isn’t it poison?”

Mandragora nodded vigorously.

Jun-woo immediately put it in his mouth and groaned.

A sweet freshness with clear energy spread throughout the mouth.

[The equipment window ‘Ring’ has been expanded due to the effect of the fruit.]

He was the guy who surprised Jun-woo several times.

With this, Jun-woo can wear 4 rings.

Even 5 would not be difficult if you were good at it.

Jun-woo handed the golden leaf in his item window to Mandragora again.

“Make this too, with fruit.”

Mandragora, who looked exhausted from consuming mana, was perplexed.

“Do you have no mana? Drink this here.”

Jun-woo generously offered Mandragora the most expensive mana potion used by humans.

Mandragora took the two with a bewildered look and drank the mana potion without hesitation.

“Okay, let’s get along for the rest of our time.”

A dark smile spread across Jun-woo’s lips.
