Transported to a hyper-realistic RPG.
Chapter 101 The Treasure of Life (2)
Wrap the rope out of the inventory around my waist and connect Nil and me with the rope. Nil's status has improved considerably with his daily training. Even if I fall, if I stick to the job, they won't both fall.
That said, if it is about 20 meters, there is also wind magic, and I think this body is fine, but just in case.
"I'll climb first, come back later.
Yes!
Nil puts in a good mood. It's pathetic to climb a tree with muscle aches... but if you can't, you can climb on your back.
Hang your hand on the unevenness of the trunk of the tree and aim up with your feet.
I've only climbed trees a few times in my life, but I can climb more sullenly than I thought because of my high status. This looks like we can get up there right away.
"What do you think? You think you can go?
Looking at Nil climbing a little lower, she shouted.
"Yes, it's okay!
Nil is quite impossible. I hardly ever answer no to asking if I'm okay. Answer that it is OK except when it is impossible no matter how hard you try.
When I looked at the place where I climbed, it still seemed a little spicy.
There was a fight with the quagmire, and I'm sure you're doing a lot of work.
I've only climbed about half the way up to my position... are you okay?
"Nil."
Yes?
Nil looks up at me.
"Hold on tight.
"... yes...?
Looking at my words and the smiling face holding the rope, he realized what he was trying to do. My face turned into a stunned expression and I clasped the rope that was connected to me.
"... Master...?
"Are you ready?
"Wow, I'll do it myself!!
"Hey, come on!!
Pull the rope tightly. I pulled with my body's strength. If it weighs about nil, it jumps up like a rocket and screams. Nil's screaming is hard to hear.
I catch Nil flying from below.
…………
Nil started crying silently and looked me in the eye.
"You wouldn't be so scared at this height, would you? And you're doing something similar in combination training.
"That's not true!! I was afraid of that! I believe in your husband above all else! I knew you'd take it! That's not what this is about! I was scared!!
Nil that rolls up in a breath.
Isn't this the first time Nil's told me this? You never said you were unhappy with me... but that's what scared me.
"I'm... sorry.
"Already! Master... already!
Panic in your head, already! I can only say it.
"Come on! Let's climb!
When you look away with a bar reading, Nil is already! While saying that, he turned his hand around his neck and grabbed me by his back.
I'll do it myself... but it's not good because Nil is on my back. Yeah, a lot.
I push my spirit to the heartless realm (today) and climb the trunk with sulfur.
And it took not a minute to reach the thick branch at the bottom, and the nil was lowered upon the branch.
Ooh...
"You have a great view!
Nil seems to be in a better mood. I'm glad...
When I looked around Nil's words, I could see the jungle from above.
The greenery grows all the way down the road. Looks like we're still a long way off.
On the contrary, we can see the edge of the jungle as we walk in the direction.
"I've been walking for half a day and this is all I've got..."
"It's a dangerous place, and it's better than getting hurt in a hurry. What should I do if Master is seriously injured..."
You remember when I fought the Knight of Love, with a dark face.
I see. Quickly, as safely as possible...
Yes!
Nil returned with a smile. Look at it and look at your scaffolding.
"The branches are thicker than I thought.
It is a branch with a diameter of one and a half meters, and neither Nil nor I can ride it.
In addition, there are about the same branches right next to each other, and if it's close to the trunk, if you give it something like a board and fix it, it looks like you can easily make a bed.
"Are you going to make a bed here?
"We're close to the next branch, so let's stay here. It's about fifteen meters down, so there won't be any monsters on the ground.
"I see.
"I'll get the logs out of the inventory properly, so I'll use the wind magic to process them and secure them.
Unlike metals, wood can be processed easily and can also be used as firewood. Because it is very user-friendly, if there are trees that seem to be good on a regular basis, they are slashed and logged into the inventory. Because the carriage enters, logs also enter normally. What a handy magic… the best inventory!
Even if Nil and I ride, we leave the thickness in a plate form, hang some bridges, and fix it. This is all I need to finish my bed.
I don't have the courage to jump on the board, but if I keep my head down, there will be no problem.
"Well... it's getting a little late, but let's have lunch.
Yes!
Nil nods loudly with a smile.
Lunch today is Salamander Burger. Lightly roasted salamander meat, sandwiched in bread with leaves and vegetables, served with soy sauce sauce and finely crushed clam nuts.
I made it after I left Mt. Kuroumi because I can't use fire on a tree like this.
The pine nut is like a black mini tomato, and it is common to use it by finely crushing hard nuts.
When I first saw it, I took the liberty of mistaking it for a mini tomato, but when I actually ate it, it was completely different.
In a nutshell, the world's chillies. It is a fruit used to add crispness and spiciness.
It was in the ingredients that were properly bought for fishing. At first, I thought it was a mini tomato and threw it into my mouth. When I chewed it, I had trouble with my eyes.
"I'll take it.
When you hit the salamander burger, the juicy gravy juice, soy sauce, and the spiciness of the clam fruit are accented, making it impossible to stop the next bite.
Attempts to make high-end meat hamburgers would be a success. When I saw that I started eating, Nil bumped into me in the same way.
"... nnh! Mmm-hmm!
"Ha, is it delicious?
Nil shakes his head vertically many times as he chews. Apparently, they called it a favor.
"... Gokun... yes! Delicious! This flavor is the best!
I see. I'll add it to my repertoire.
Yes!
Nil agreed with a bright smile.
After eating the burger, I look around again.
The open place with the bad plants we saw earlier looks good from above. You will need to be careful not to step into it by mistake, as you will see the same open spot as the bumps as you go forward.
The tall trees in question appear to be everywhere in the jungle that goes on forever, and it seems unlikely that they will have trouble sleeping in the future.
Sometimes I see a big shadow moving, but it's probably a monster.
Beyond passing through this jungle, there will definitely be a fight against monsters from tomorrow. Every day, Nil and I will be able to get through. No, if you think about the dungeon you're waiting for before you get out of here, it's not like you're stuck here.
"Master?
It seems that I was at some point blurred when I was thinking. The focus of the eyes returns to Nil's face with Nil's voice.
"... hahaha! Nil! There's soy sauce on the edge of your mouth!
"Huh?! Ah!!"
Nil that quickly wipes your mouth and turns bright red.
If Nil were with us, we could still be bright in this situation. Above all, thank you. We can't let the Holy Knights do whatever they want to protect Nil.
Make sure we get through here, through the submarine tunnels... and make an alliance with the demons.
As we prepare items for tomorrow's use on the trees and maintain our weapons, the sun quickly leans and sinks into the jungle trees.
"Wow...."
The first thing I saw after dark was the sky full of stars.
There is no other light at all and I feel like I'm in a large planetarium.
And because I'm on a tall tree, I can still see the stars nearby.
"Amazing..."
I temporarily saw the starry sky above the jungle trees.
"Without this light, the stars look so beautiful..."
"... yes..."
Shit! Shit!
As they look up at the starry sky, there is a loud noise from the dark jungle. It was a dry sound like a tree being chopped down. There seems to be a distance to the source of the sound, but I'm sure something is moving in this darkness.
"Is it a nocturnal monster?
"Probably.
"When it's so dark, it's still dangerous to travel at night.
I see. We'll have to climb the tall tree and secure the bed before sundown.
After that, there were several dry sounds and occasional low and fat beast sounds. There was no way we could sleep with peace of mind in such a situation, and we didn't neglect our vigilance and took turns sleeping in the morning.
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
The next day, it was also a place with many monsters. I tried using a stinking bomb made from the sap of the Devil Tree, but the effect was bad. The beast type doesn't come close, but it doesn't seem to have much to do with insect or botanical monsters.
I will use it appropriately only when it is useful compared to the spiciness of the smell... in the direction of not using it as much as possible...
Walk the jungle until just before the sun goes down, fight insect, plant, and animal monsters forward, climb trees at dusk, and sleep. And when I wake up, I walk the jungle again. It was about time for the fourth day of this treasure trove of life to proceed and the sun began to fall.
I noticed that there was a sound of water falling somewhere.
"There seems to be a river.
Nil, who has completely recovered from muscle pain, stands at the forefront and watches his surroundings.
"The river... it won't be hard to get to the riverside..."
I haven't found any other water around here. That way, monsters and small animals will be using the river. If the timing is bad, it is likely to go with the monster.
"Do you want to detour?
"I wish I could... but I don't know if I can make a detour..."
If a river were to flow at right angles to our path, it might have to travel quite far.
"Let's take a look at the river once and for all, without bypassing the darkness. If you're going to be able to cross, I want to cross right away."
"I see.
Watch out for sudden encounters with monsters and get closer to the sound of water.
Gaza...
After pushing out the vast grass, we arrive at the water field in question.
Without jumping out of sight, peeking into the grass and trees, you can see a waterfall about three meters high and a large river running from it. The water doesn't seem to be flowing fast... but I wonder if there's a hundred meters on sight to the other shore... it's going to be hard to jump. Because the water is turbid brown and the depth of the water is not known from here, it is unknown whether it can be crossed.
"Master.
Nil calls me in silence.
Turning her eyes to the tip of her eyes, a yellow tingling sticks out on the surface of the water, and it wooshes. And it's not just one, it's just three things you can see.
"If it's such a big river, it's not strange to have an aquatic monster.
"It's huge.
There are only three meters in the area where I can see the stiffness. I don't know how big the hidden part is in the water.
"What is happening on the waterfall?
"Looking at the width of the waterfall, it's probably the same width as this one. There will be monsters..."
When I look up at the sky, there is a sign that it is about to turn red.
Across the shore, you can see tall trees a little further.
Conversely, if you go back, you have to go back quite a bit. It is quite subtle to reach a tall tree by nightfall.
"Let's move on. It's a bit flashy, but I use tree magic towards the other shore. Let's cross over to the other shore.
"I see.
When you draw a magical formation, a large tree roots emerge from the ground on this side of the river.
Advanced tree magic, the root of the world tree. The magic I used when I ran away with the Amazonians.
Zuhhhhhh!
When the roots of the world's trees grow from the ground fall towards the river, a large amount of water scatters and pours down like rain.
You were in the river, and bright green fish came down and jumped on the ground.
I've been walking through this jungle for a few days, but there are also some fierce monsters that stop by when I make a loud noise like this.
This flashy magic has definitely impressed them. If we don't get out of here before those monsters get close to Walla Walla, this neighborhood will be in trouble.
"Let's go!
"Yes!!
Run along with Nil and toward the trees of the world.
The roots of the trees growing from the ground are thick, and it is difficult for Nir to jump on them with one foot.
Rubbish... rubbish...
From the jungle at the rear, something is coming. Probably from the opposite shore.
We don't have time to waste!
Nil, come on!
Yes!
When I put my hands together and stand down, Nil comes running and puts his right foot on his hand.
"Go!!
Use your legs and arms to fly Nil up with his weight on his hands. Aren't you afraid to go by yourself...?
Looking up, it seems that Nil, who flew high, could land well on the roots.
I'm next...
Buzz buzz buzz!
You hear the trees crushing and breaking.
"Are you kidding me?!
Dozens of beast-type and insect-type monsters appeared from behind. Some monsters have feathers like giant turtles and bees. They're attacking different kinds of monsters, but most of them are coming towards me.
When I thought about using the magic of the Holy Spirit, Nil called out from above.
"Master! Hands up!!
Wrap the extended shadow tentacle around your right arm.
"That's good!
As soon as you hear my voice, your arms gush up. Nil pulled, while simultaneously shrinking the shadow tentacle. I can be pulled up to Nil at once.
"Whoa whoa whoa?!
"Hih, I pulled too much!
(CHUCKLES) Nil. It seems to have gone too far.
What I did to Nil on the first day was returned as is. I don't hate screaming, so I'm not scared. My internal organs are moving and hissing or hissing... that's how it feels.
Dodd, dodd, dodd!
Using my location as a convergence point, the monsters bumped into each other and blew up a few bodies in the water, raising the water splash.
Some monsters are climbing the roots of the world trees with momentum. If you don't hurry, I'll get along with Nil and the monsters.
Seen from the air, the jungle trees and grass across the bank are shaking and there are signs of monsters gathering.
I shout when I reach almost directly above Nil.
"Run, Nil!
When Nil noticed my movements as I drew a magical formation in the air, he ran towards the tip of the roots of the world tree with his shadow tentacle tied to me.
Behind it, a mass of mostly dumpling monsters climbed up. Almost the same amount of monsters jumped out of the opposite shore.
"Jump!!
As soon as the magic team was complete, they shouted again at Nil.
Nil already knew what I wanted to do, and at the same time as he screamed, he jumped from the roots directly over the monsters on the opposite shore.
My drawn magic team glows green on hand.
I used Intermediate Wind Magic, Wind Explosion.
As the name suggests, the compressed wind explodes and exhales in one direction. It is originally used to blow up opponents, but when used in the air, the body receives the power of an explosion and is blown in the opposite direction to the magic team.
Because I cast my magic diagonally back, my body would fly over the opposite side.
Nil, who connected the momentum to the shadow tentacle, received it and jumped up to me at once.
"This is it again!!
When Nil caught him screaming and half crying, he flew over the jungle on the opposite side.
"But if you don't, they'll eat you, right?
"That's right!!
Nil complains in the air, in my arms. I don't think I have much time to listen to that this time.
Now draw the beginner wind magic gust and prepare for landing.
Buzz, buzz!
Activating the gust will knock down the jungle trees... I don't know if I'm safe... but I landed from time to time with a scratch.
Because I rolled over the ground to wax the shock, both Nil and I were covered in mud...
"... no... you're in danger.
He laughs at the dirty nil on me.
In fact, if it had stayed on the roots, it would have been in an irreversible situation.
"Already! Master... already!
It seems to have pissed me off again.
"You'll get mad at me later, so I'm leaving now.
Not as loud as when I used the roots of the world trees.
The monsters will gather here soon. The monsters were gathered much earlier, so we should leave as soon as possible.
"I see..."
I got angry, but Nil swallowed up what he wanted to say and stood up.
"Let's go.
Grab Nil's hand and stand up.
Ah.
A few minutes after we left in a hurry, I heard something arguing around there.
I'm glad I didn't have to bowl when I ran away.
Afterwards, while the sky was red, it climbed to a tall tree and dropped mud. By the time I finished making my bed, the area was dark.
