Shortly after I discovered the terrible tragedy, I quickly moved without shrinking. At least I was thinking of reaching the second lake in a few days.

Of course, even if we don't have to find the lake, it's not impossible to find a destination, but we may have to wander a few times and, most importantly, get the water we want to drink first. Returning to where I first came from may also be the answer, but it is inefficient.

The water recovered from the Goblins was small, so it quickly reached its limit. On the way, I saw the southern archipelago shaking its bucket and frowning on its glabella. The bucket seems empty.

“· · · Can I just move like this? ”

However, Gil Yumi asked me if I was anxious to move quickly after seeing the incident just now.

In her voice, anxious and sensitive, I replied, pretending to ponder for a moment.

“Nothing will change what we do anyway. It might be a less dangerous way to move fast. Then · · ·”

“· · · So? ”

I hid my last words. Then Gil Yumi came along in suspicion, but did not answer. If you say this, you will not receive such a good snowflake.

You don't have to carve out a negative image.

Whatever happens, the beast will continue to attack the player. That's an easy fact to figure out without having to make it difficult. In the first place, it is.

Whether for predation or for his activities as a mobster, he will continue hunting.

Moreover, if the species I predicted is correct, even if we increase the boundaries around him due to his nature, it is nothing but a useless baldness. His approach is difficult to predict.

No matter how easy a person grinds and wipes, there is no easy way to reach it.

That's the secret maneuverability only predators have. The institutions and movements that developed for the hunt given to them from the beginning cannot easily be replicated with training.

It is a natural limitation. Goblins are also sleepy in the woods, but that doesn't mean the little dwarves didn't do it in the first place. Training is needed.

They trained for their own survival, and as a result, it was only possible. The untrained Goblins are no different from humans. I can do nothing.

That's why we've been able to deal with the Goblins without much trouble so far. Untrained Goblins. Goblin adventurers created for the tutorial were ridiculously weak.

To the extent that the first children to fight for their lives can win.

I'll shake my head if someone asks me if we've fought Goblins enough times to make them strong enough. If you're wrong, it's not weird if someone dies in one moment.

I don't want to be in any danger either.

Then it's the safest way to get us to move ahead of the other players and catch the other players he's coming from behind.

In a word, let's use the other players as bait.

This is the safest and easiest way. But this can't sound good for other children. I didn't deliberately tell Gil Yumi to know that.

The ugly idea that a person will live as a decoy will shock children who have not yet seen the right reality. I'd rather hide my words.

What I didn't say to Gil Yumi wasn't that great.

‘· · · If we move fast, we can lure other players without risk. ’

But the moment I say this without thinking about it, it's obvious what she'll look like.

I'm going to look disgusting. Or be afraid. Maybe try to insult me in that place. But I didn't have this idea in the first place.

If I had the strength and the means to track him down, I might have made a move to kill him there.

I don't intend to carry a dangerous man behind my back.

But there is no way so far.

I think I can kill him, but the moment I think he's going to die, I'll run away without worrying. If I decide to run, I have to give up.

I don't think I can move with his speed.

They are not as weak as Goblins.

In that situation, there were only three abilities I had and no ability to help track them down.

Survival instinct f combat action f situation analysis f

Among these, survival instincts were the ability to stimulate the sense of life, and restraint was the ability to continue to fight in situations of injury.

But this was too much to deal with.

Then there was only one left, and unfortunately, the one left had nothing to do with combat abilities. At least if you grow it a little bit, you'll be able to help in combat situations later, but it won't be meaningful in the ranks now.

Situational analysis is a technique that helps you notice traps or changes in the surrounding environment.

Just like now.

[You found the footprint of the beast.]

[Confirmation results confirmed as‘ rabbit ’.]

[You found the footprint of the beast.]

[The result of the check is confirmed as' Deer ’.]

I can't confirm the information that is not very useful to me because my rank is still low. At least it helps us to understand the structure of the traps we found, but it would be meaningless if it were a special trap with a magic device. That should be a wizard class.

'Almost there.'

I could see that I had reached the shore of the lake with the traces of the beast that had quickly begun to enter my eyes.

Water is the source of all life. We needed water to survive, and so the beasts were crowded by the lake.

Perhaps we are not so different from such beasts. Anyway, we also needed water, and the need to get the right position was a second hit and we had to fill the water bag.

Otherwise, the children were already running out of water when they came all the way here. Compared to the pre-regression period, there was an unusually high feeling of fighting, resulting in a large consumption of stamina.

“· · · That's a lake. ”

Upon arriving, Song Gyun murmured as if he was tired of sweating on his forehead. The children had already run away as soon as they found the lake. Immediately the children who went and washed the blood and sweat came into their eyes. Is it not too late to get water after washing?

Unlike those children, however, I told her when Song Gyeong was watching quietly from behind.

“Why don't you go wash up, too. If not, it must have been the blood on your hands last night. You touched the body yourself. ”

“· · · Did you know? ”

In my words, Song Gyun shook his body and slowly pulled his head up. I looked surprised by what I said. She looked me in the eye and didn't know what to say. After a while, she said.

“At first, I didn't even know it was a human body. There was too much sculpture to be called a corpse, and the sculpture that came into my eyes was small in size. I thought it was an animal corpse. At least there was a smell of blood, so I could see there was a body around. because even in the smell of trees, there was a strong stink of nostrils. ”

It wouldn't have been a pleasant experience. However, I am amazed to find that there is a body in her wall that I have not yet checked. Most people scream and run back, but it won't be weird.

As she recalled for a moment last night, she carefully spit out her last words with a distant gaze.

“ · · ·. I haven't told my brother and kids yet, but can you keep this a secret from the others? ”

“Secrets?”

Song Ga-yeon is a cautious expression that seems reluctant to speak.

“In fact, there were more dead bodies around than students. It was an old corpse...”

“Old corpse? ”

“Yes, the flesh is all gone and only the bones are left. I think it was the police. I was dressed as a cop. I don't know when he died, but I found this there. ”

"Is that...?"

At the same time, I cast a curious expression out of her arms that she had not thought of. It would have been a long time ago if I had looked so surprised. What look do I have on her?

· · · Probably smiling.
