Arena, Alien hunting

17 Bleeding (1)

After the fight, the flurry shook. It was unrealistic to see a pile of Red Aid's corpses lying around.

On my first test, I struggled to kill even one. Barely strangled me with a vine, I had to be mentally shocked for a while.

Today, 11 were killed by me. It was much easier than the first test.

"Get used to this shitty feeling"? Do I look like a human being to you? ’

‘Yes, it looks that way. ’

In the end, the baby angel was right. I was human enough to do that.

Some people just can't.

“Yuck!”

Lee Hye-soo was nauseous. When I saw his tearful face, I felt sorry for him.

“Are you all right?"

“Yes... I'm sorry... ”

She barely replied, holding back her tears.

“What's not to like? I did nothing behind the scenes. ”

Park Go-chan is making fun of me. Lee Hye-soo felt even more frustrated about what he said.

‘Cause you didn't do much, did you, old man? ’

Park Go-chan's obvious insides made him look even less refined.

It is not just because it is cheap, but because it keeps making you feel pressured and crushing the benefits. Serve your body instead of protecting it, to justify the same deal.

‘This is bad. You have to be brave and active to overcome this situation. ’

I was worried because Lee Hye-soo was more helpless than I thought.

If this burden continues, there will be no place for her on this team. The crowd's gaze at her only gets cooler and eventually Park Go-chan may want it.

“Bro, is this the end? ”

“No way. ”

I shook my head.

“If this had been the end, we wouldn't have tested you for a week. ”

“Anyway, like my brother said, it really was Red Ape who was fighting. ”

“I'm glad I'm not the only one you don't know. But……. ”

I sighed as I looked around the caverns where there were dead bodies.

“I can't stay here any longer. ”

“Can't we just stay here? We can fight like today and last a week. ”

I don't know. I'm in a hurry to get out of here, but I need everyone's opinion first.

I asked everyone.

“I think we should get out of here before they come back. What do you think? ”

“It's safe here. ”

Kang Cheongseongseong objected. This human is also opinionating because it's important.

“You can't be sure if you're fighting in the woods. ”

You're right. There's a large clearing in front of the cave, so it was a good fight.

But the forest is different.

There's too much cover for them to hide in, and they can attack from the trees as well as from front to back. Structural fights are advantageous for those who have an advantage in numbers.

“But even here, it's still dangerous. ”

“Why?”

“First of all, let's look at the level of intelligence of the Red Apes. They ambush. They ambush. And the first was the ability to target campfires. ”

My explanation continued.

“Then shouldn't we surround this place first and attack when we come out for water or food? ”

“…… I see. ”

Kang Cheongseon accepted.

Everyone's face was severely stiff in my opinion. It is not a situation you will like if you win a fight once.

“But the good news is that I killed them all without letting any of them live. We have time until they attack again, so why don't we find a different base in the gap? ”

“Good.”

“I'm good, too, bro. ”

“I too…. ”

Kang Cheongseong, Joon-ho and Lee Hye-soo all agreed, and finally Park Go-chan nodded.

So we decided to leave the cave, but I took off three layers of underpants and socks one by one before I left.

You wrap it around the end of a piece of wood prepared with fuel and put it in a campfire to light a fire.

Glug-ug

‘It's freezing. ’

I was delighted to see the torch made from a temporary side.

“Because of this, my underwear and socks... ”

“I wore three layers. ”

Will you stop treating me like I'm not wearing panties?

“Wow, you're really ready. I never thought of that. ”

It was still dark, so I walked ahead with a torch.

“Sylph, can you see if there are any more caves nearby? ”

Meow.

Silf flew away. A short time later, after looking at the whole 1.1 kilometer radius, the silk shakes its head. Come on, caves can't be that common.

Luckily, Red Ape wasn't in the area.

“I have to walk. They were trying to get away from us back there, so we're going the other way. ”

The group follows my lead with ease. Thanks to the 11 kills, Park Go-chan remains resolute.

Somehow, it felt like I was the leader of the group. I didn't want to play this role, but things got weird. Kangchun Seong was indifferent and Park Go-chan lost his temper, so the lead came naturally to me.

As I was walking right, the sun started to rise. When the day was bright, I threw away the torch and kept walking.

I haven't forgotten to summon the Silk every 5 minutes to scout the area for 60 seconds.

According to Sylph's scouts, there were many herbivores in this forest such as rabbits, deer and monkeys.

“Looks like there are a lot of Red Apes. ”

“Did they show up? ”

When Park Go-chan asked, I shook my head.

“I've been in the woods since yesterday, and I've only found herbivores. With the exception of snakes and owls, carnivores are nothing but red apes, compared to the abundance of food to hunt. ”

“This forest is their territory. ”

Gangcheongseong said.

I nodded.

“If you really make this a territory, they're a pretty big group. ”

And, of course, there will be leaders who rule that group.

That boss is probably angry at the 21 coworkers who are dead in front of the cave right now.

* * *

“Kuaaaak!”

It was the roar of rage.

The Red Apes huff in terror.

A giant, two meters tall.

Hair as black as blood.

The dominator of the group who boasted overwhelming harmony from its appearance was outraged.

There is a species called Red Ape Road. Born one or two per generation, this mutation is twice the size and power of a normal species. It is the fate of being the ruler of the herd.

Of course, you have to suffer until then.

So did the current leader.

Red Ape Road was no different from a normal species at birth, but as it grew, it began to stand out as a special species.

Existing leaders showed strong hostility to potential competitors. I had to run before I was trampled.

A road that has survived a harsh growing season by itself, away from the herd.

One day, I suddenly realized that I had grown up to be as big as my boss, and returned to the herd. The leader of the reunion was not as frightened as when I saw him as a child.

Challenged and won.

From then on until now, the reign is unparalleled!

Another special species was born and grew up and challenged, but overcame. When he defeated the challenge twice and beat the leader, Lord was crowned as the greatest ruler of all time.

Such a rod was enraged.

“Kuaaaah!! ”

Hundreds of Red Apes are terrified.

There were many predators or monsters that came into this abundant forest. Every time, Lord was defeated. He leads the herd, sometimes showing off his strength and showing dignity as a leader.

The area grew wider and the Red Ape multiplied unprecedented, greatly increasing numbers of the herd.

But his people began to die in these forests.

You find out you've invaded the area and send your men.

But after a while, I didn't hear from them, and they were dead. It was happening on their own turf.

I couldn't forgive him.

We must punish those who despise their authority.

“Kieeek!”

Lord commanded.

“Kieeek!”

“Queek!”

“Kieeek!”

Hundreds of Red Apes have responded to you, too, crying out.

Blood vengeance!

And the blood work was about to begin to defend the realm of the herd.

* * *

We walked along the stream. I thought it would be good to stay close to the water, since there are no canisters. There were a lot of big fish in the stream, so it was easy to get food. It's easy to hunt rabbits with silk, but it's easier to fix and cook fish.

I made a simple knife by sharpening a piece of wood, and Hye-soo made fish out of it. It was an attitude to take on minor errands as I advised.

She must have been alarmed as long as it was a burden in the last night's fight. If this doesn't help us, we won't get Karma, and we'll have to continue to be powerless.

‘Strange, by the way. ’

After watching her for two days yesterday, I felt that her stamina was not much different from that of a typical woman. even though I felt tired walking and endured the pain of my feet.

I thought you learned the Beginner Level of Health Calibration? ’

I heard that Stamina Calibration Beginner Level 1 is a healthy adult male stamina level. It means it's better than my poor health.

But she seemed to be weaker than me. So I thought it was strange.

She roasts a fish and distributes it to everyone when she sets the fire with Silf. As soon as I finished cooking, the fire was quickly extinguished. Rising smoke can expose the location.

“Let's go when you're done. Don't forget to wash your body as you need to get rid of the smell of cuts. ”

“What a nuisance. ”

Park Go-chan washes his hands in the stream. The rest of the party does as I say.

The main reason for walking along the stream was this.

I thought that if we moved along the flowing water, our body would smell less beautiful.

Usually carnivores have a keen sense of smell, but the same is thought of as a Red Ape. He uses tools and intelligence, but he still looks more like an animal than a human.

I summoned a Sylph to scout the area as I started moving again.

Silf literally flew in like the wind and returned from scouting, shouting at me for no reason.

Meow!

“Is something wrong? ”

Silf wrote numbers on the ground.

293.

“293 meters?”

Meow!

Silf shakes his head. Then it can't be...

“293?”

Mwah!

A silk nodding.

“What are you talking about? 300?! ”

Park Go-chan was frightened.

“Y-you 're not talking about something else? Like ants and rats... ”

Junho also asked as if it was hard to believe, but he insisted on Silf's opinion.

“Are you 293 Red Apes? ”

Mwah!

“Where are they? ”

The silf spins around. I didn't know what that meant, so I had to think about it for a long time. As Sylph circled around us, I finally understood.

“Everywhere? ”

Mwah!

“Are you covering for us? ”

Seal that shakes your head.

“So they're scattering, searching the forest for us? ”

Mwah!

I fought last night and fled right away. And already they're everywhere!

“Hey, you bastard, what happened? You said there'd be time for them to come back! ”

Park Go-chan was angry with me.

Why are you asking me that?

The answer is simple! They're moving faster than us.
