It was the second day Yoohyun started wandering around the jungle.

The unpleasantness that seems to sink into the invisible swamp is getting stronger.

This unpleasant sensation seems to have already fallen to the ankle.

Yoohyun pauses and looks around.

I thought I kept feeling strange from the beginning, but this is also strange.

Yoohyun narrows his eyes and looks around and mutters.

“A shield.”

Then Lute responded.

“It's hard to believe that Kuwaro can create such a level of protection... but I'll have to admit it. It is likely to be a shield, as Yoohyun said. ”

Lute was feeling it, too. He groaned low and frowned.

Yoohyun's group was forced to become anxious by those conversations.

“Does that mean we're trapped in the shield now? ”

“Maybe so. ”

Yoohyun answered Song Song's question with a short answer and filled his tongue with small words.

When the hell did you get into the shield? It was a well-built shield.

I had no idea you were inside the shield. I know it's hard to recognize it, but...

The one who made this would also be Black Nail Kuwaro.

'I don't think the Expeditionary Guild knows much about his power.'

He is very far from the level written on the badge.

It is not worth hunting while experiencing the power of dark magic lightly.

Yoohyun's eyes, looking around for a while, close.

Spread magic around widely, but have no star performance.

It was difficult to escape from being trapped in the shield more than once.

That's why well-prepared wizards were hard to deal with.

It creates a situation favorable to itself by building a shield in this way.

Fortunately, there have been no encounters with Kuwaros in the meantime.

But there was no fight with other monsters than Kuwaro.

Oddly enough, there are no monsters in this area. I didn't have to avoid monsters, but it was strange that I never met them in the past hour.

It's a place where life doesn't live. Vibrant jungle.

Maybe it's because of this unpleasant energy that I first felt.

The jungle has innumerable lifestyles. Numerous monsters and fauna live.

However, such vitality is not felt at all in this jungle.

All I can feel is anxiety and jungle-specific unpleasant moisture.

Yoohyun takes a glass bottle out of his arms. It was the perfume that chased the bug out.

The amount of perfume has not diminished at all in the meantime, as little has been written.

In fact, I didn't use it at all except when I first entered. However, the fragrance I used at first didn't last that long.

Half a day, no matter how long. At least that's what Yoohyun said.

But I'm not wearing this right now because I don't feel the need to use it.

Yoohyun turned around with a glass bottle and looked at the group.

Everyone has a calm face, even if they are anxious.

“Has anyone been bitten by a bug here so far? ”

“To worms?”

“Yes. I wouldn't have worn all the perfumes except when I first entered. ”

“Oh... and I see. ”

Gil Yumi opened his eyes wide to see if he had forgotten the presence of perfume.

If the bugs had wandered around so disturbingly, they would not have forgotten.

I forgot the existence of perfume because I didn't feel all the need.

Yoohyun, who had so much to think about, organized various information into his head, looked up at the sky.

Already, it's getting dark. Is this another day going by again?

The sun came down one day, and the moon came to mind. Yoohyun was forced to stop walking because the awkward spider took over. After all, I still couldn't get out of the jungle today.

I couldn't even see the end of the jungle.

Rather, I feel away from the exit of the jungle.

Yoohyun's group was unshakeable.

It is a difficult task, but the experience gained in the meantime has kept them from shaking.

Finish preparing to camp in an unusual atmosphere. Meals were simplified. Food consumption had to be reduced as the situation was useless. There is not much food brought.

A bonfire that blows up where the pit is dug causes the Jungle to step back for a little while.

The group gathered in front of the campfire and spent some time quietly.

“..... hua. I'm tired.”

Lee Seo-yeon sighed deeply, hesitating on the floor and bowing his head. I kept my eyes closed about whether I was feeling sleepy or not. Yoohyun smiled bitterly at her.

‘It's hard. ’

Furthermore, it would have been the first time I would have traveled through these jungles, so I would have consumed a lot of HP.

However, it wasn't just Lee Seo-yeon who complained of fatigue.

“Ugh... why are you so upset? ”

Gil Yumi shifts his shoulders in a circle as if he were loosening his face. She was complaining of her exhaustion, which was not pushed by the southern archipelago.

“... Is it because it's hot? ”

In the end, Gil Yumi murmured whether he had concluded that.

However, it wasn't just Gil Yumi and Lee Seo-yeon.

Yoohyun observed the group's faces in turn.

Nam Archer, who had been carrying an eyepiece all day, did not speak to Langshashen and Song Ga-yeon, but was similarly tired as Lee Seo-yeon.

‘That's not good. ’

Maybe it's the jungle environment. I was thinking about something like that.

“You still haven't opened your eyes. It's been two days. ”

Lute, who was checking the ophthalmoscope, said with a worried face. The blood color seemed fine, but I had to be anxious about the fact that I had been out of my mind so far.

Eyeglasses, she may have important information.

I need to know what she's been through, even though she's in a bad state now.

Lee Seo-yeon, who was sleepy, slowly lifted his head.

She smiles mildly as she looks at the spectacle with her eyes locked in drowsiness.

“You'll be fine. I just checked before, but my body is recovering. ”

“Is that so?”

“Yes, so don't worry too much. ”

“Got it.”

Seeing Lute nodding with relief, Lee began to fall asleep with his head bent again.

Langshashen, who was next to her, covered her with a small blanket. Lee Seo-yeon fell asleep.

Yoohyun said to the group as Lee Seo-yeon fell asleep.

“Everyone better get some sleep soon. We'll keep moving tomorrow. ”

It was not a relaxed situation at the moment.

There's just no good fight in the jungle where Kuwaros are everywhere.

Everyone was tired without Yoohyun talking, so I quickly fell asleep.

Yoohyun slowly lifted his head with a silent breath in his ear.

Then I saw Lute staring at the bonfire with his jaw open.

“Maybe it's not just the shield that gets you lost. ”

Rather, Lute suddenly said that.

Yoohyun nods at Najib, deliberately listening to his serious story as the group takes it all to sleep.

“I've built this huge shield, but it doesn't have to be a lame feature. ”

The power of the shield varies.

There is such a simple shield that only senses the access to life as Lute has installed around it right now, whereas shields installed on a large scale like this now have various functions depending on the magician.

“Maybe it's the shield that keeps the jungle so quiet. ”

There is no sound of bugs around. Strange enough.

There are many strange bugs in the jungle, so it can't be really weird considering the Expeditionary Guild's warning that it would be better to be careful.

No birds, no animals, no bugs, no signs of life.

Yoohyun came up with that part. It's because of the shield that there is no such thing as life in the jungle.

In Yoohyun's words, Lute smiles coldly and picks it up with his hand as if he found something on the floor.

“Haha, indeed. Maybe so."

What Lute picked up on the floor was the body of a bug that resembled a scarlet.

But there was not just one body. If you look closely, there are many corpses of bugs around.

Difficult to count, not the same type. There is nothing but to say that it is strange that such a large number of worms are dead at once.

The body fell under the bush, so the group didn't seem to notice.

As interesting as observing the corpse of a worm in his hand, Lute narrows his eyes.

“And remember the snake from Aspada that we met at the entrance? ”

“I wonder if I forgot that. ”

It's hard to forget that giant snake.

I don't know what will happen in Carnaden in the future, but a snake with such a huge body will not be easily forgotten in its head. He was also amazing to Yoohyun.

“This is the jungle where the aspada snake was originally found. But the one we met was found a long way from where we originally lived. ”

“You want to tell me that his abnormal behavior has something to do with the situation? ”

When Yoohyun asked, Lute cleared his smile and nodded with a cold face.
