We have a level system in place for mankind.
sCENE: 63 Fighting the Food Area
The moment we were wrapped in dazzling light, we lost consciousness for a moment. When I noticed it, I looked around, and there was another world. Everyone's face is full of surprises.
The voice of the example echoed in my head.
[Food area and earth transfer will be possible in five hours]
Around us, there was something like a stone circle, surrounded by 12 stone cylinders about five meters tall. And there was a strange pattern on the ground that looked like a domed building.
"Where is this place?
We went outside the Stone Circle. Outside is a meadow of grass high up to the waist. There is a herd of animals in the distance. The body looks like a pig or a pig.
The grasslands seem to be quite vast. There are woods and woods everywhere, from where you can see birds flying. When the field of view is widened to the other side, the mountains that are likely to be 2000 meters in size are surrounded by circles.
At least not in Japan.
Misaki said it was pozzly. Elena nodded and looked around. I'm kind of worried. When I saw the sky, there was something like the sun. It is only smaller than the sun and emits white light like a fluorescent lamp.
"Hey, didn't you say in your voice that you have to go home in five hours?
The river raised its voice and everyone nodded.
"Five hours means you can survive here."
Elena was looking around.
"I'm sure this is the food area, so there's food here, right?"
I see. But what is food?
The river pointed to the pig-like creature that had just come into my eyes. The herd is a group of seven or eight, and is believed to be about 130 kilometers the size of a pig.
All right, let's go check it out.
Everyone nodded to the prestigious voice of the river well. Carefully approaching the herd revealed a resemblance to a pig, with one exception. One of the things about it was that it wrapped around armor like Armadillo.
"Armadillo? No. They're pigs of all sizes and faces."
The river is tilting its neck.
"What's he eating?
Looking closely, he was digging out the roots of the growing grass and eating something like a small potato on the roots.
Hmm, you can eat something like that potato.
Blue grass grows in vast grasslands. There must be countless little potatoes buried on the ground. If it can be eaten, the food problem will be solved.
"Armoured pigs and sweet potatoes."
I somehow tried to give it a name.
"Is it delicious?
Elena cares about the taste. When I look at the armored pig with those eyes, it looks kind of delicious.
"Let's hunt."
"But won't it disappear when I finish it off?
"Isn't that okay? Maybe the pork is a potato after all."
I wonder if this place is like a dungeon. I was worried about something like the sun above my head, but I felt it was more artificial than a star.
They disappeared and approached a herd of armored pigs.
Elena, who thought that explosive arrows would scatter even the meat that could be eaten, shot at the armored pig while guarding the normal arrow. The arrow struck the back of the armored pig and was repelled. At that moment, I was jumping out.
The distance to the armored pig jumped magically, approaching the side almost simultaneously with the arrow hitting. He poured his mind into the spinning stick and knocked it into his prey's face. The armored pig turned over without screaming.
When one fell, the other armored pig ran away. They don't seem to be attacking us in groups like Weirdo. The defeated armored pig is normally dead and down.
"This doesn't turn into a heart stone, does it?
I nodded to Misaki's question. If this was a normal Weird Beast, I could hear the voice of choosing what to leave behind, but even if I defeated the armored pig, I could not hear such a voice.
"If you can eat this, you have to bleed out."
Misaki seems to have experience in hunting, so she drained blood and treated her guts while teaching. You may be able to eat your guts, but you'll need a lot of water to handle them properly. There was no water here.
Pull out the biggest shadow bag and put the treated armored pig in it. Only one can enter. Looks like we need to build a large shadow bag.
"Let's dig up the potatoes that the armored pigs were eating and take them home."
Elena suggested it. We dug up the dirt with a knife and got the potatoes. Potatoes like golf balls came out.
"Uhya, you can harvest as much as you want."
The river seemed to have gotten interesting and gradually dug out the sweet potatoes and threw them into the shadow bag. The shadow bag is full and the potato digging is over.
I put the shadow bag back in the shadow space, and I talked to everybody about what to do. It's only been about two hours since we moved to the food area, so we can't go back to Earth yet.
"You're supposed to explore."
Misaki seems interested in the food area. We all get excited about where we are here.
"Isn't this another star? There's the sky, there's the sun."
He thought the river was a planet from another planet.
"What do you think of Kojiro?
Misaki asked. I disagreed with Kawai's theory of "another star".
"Why? In any case, it's one world. If so, there will be only another star."
"But that sun stinks."
I pointed out that the sun does not move slightly over time and told him it is not a star like the sun. Elena also felt uncomfortable. I am convinced that I felt uncomfortable because the sun did not move.
"Then what do you think this place is?
Like a labyrinth or a dungeon.
"Even if they call it a dungeon. I don't know what that is."
You're right. I am troubled when asked what a dungeon is. Because it's a mysterious space.
"Explore anyway and gather information"
Misaki told me to make a map. I bring paper and writing equipment. The largest of the mountains seen from afar was named Mount Penglai "Horaisan", and set as the north tentatively.
The Stone Circle is in the middle of the meadow, and we killed the armored pig about two kilometers east. There is a large forest about ten kilometers away.
"Today, let's investigate the forest and go home."
Misaki demonstrates leadership and sets goals. It is reliable in such situations.
But as I walked towards the woods, I felt intense signs. It is a sign of the Guardianship of the Beast Quarter. A tiger appeared from the forest.
He is about four meters long. The atmosphere resembles that of the Guardian of the Weird Beast District, but it seems weaker than that of the Guardian. He saw us with his eyes on our prey.
"Because there are pigs, there are monsters who live as prey. It's a mess."
I replaced my weapon with a shadow blade wolf toothpick. And Elena fires an explosive arrow. That signalled the start of the battle.
The giant tiger attacked us with a supple movement characteristic of the cat clan. I'll go out front and fight them. The shadow blade wolf used a toothpick to try to slit it with her forefoot claws. Bearing the thought of being hit by a recoil, I ripped his head off.
A stone spear flew over the river. The giant tiger cleverly twisted his torso and attacked the river well. Rivers take a distance from the earthen walls.
Misaki used the Ice Spear of 'Ice Manipulation' to fly the ice spear. A pile-sharp ice spear stuck a giant tiger in the shoulder. The giant tiger bites the barking ice spear.
I concentrated on the Shadow Blade Wolf Toothstick and released the [Spiral Shadow Blade]. Three shadow blades whirled around and were fired at like a pile bunker. The black drill, which stretched about five meters, penetrated the tiger's chest and returned to its original position.
A huge amount of blood was spit out of the tiger's mouth, and scattered fresh blood red stained the grass. Dota and the giant tiger fell. It seems that the [spiral shadow blade] penetrated the heart.
I defeated an enemy comparable to the Guardian, so I waited for the call. However, I could not hear the call for level-up. What do you mean by that? Does defeating enemies not level up in the food area?
"That's funny. I didn't level up."
Elena leaned her neck. Why does Misaki look like that?
"I took him down unilaterally, but at least he was as strong as the Guardian of the Beast Quarter. Weird beasts in the food area are different from Weird beasts on Earth?
Kawai shook his head.
"I don't know. But if you do, you will fight here to grow stronger, to hunt the aliens of the earth, and to get food."
The discussion begins on the alien beast of the Earth and the food area, and it turns to whether the tiger can eat it or not.
"Just peel it off and take it home."
I suggested it, and the stripping started. It took a lot of trouble, but I got a stunning tiger skin.
We went into the forest and found out that this forest is a treasure trove of fruit.
