Poison fog.
As you move through the second chapter of the tutorial, you encounter a peculiar environment.
Although the toxicity is not that strong, if you walk inside it, the toxicity builds up steadily and you will collapse in less than an hour.
‘I had quite a hard time because of this.’
Before returning, Seun’s group quickly retreated outside of the fog as soon as they realized the fog’s toxicity.
I remember that two of the already small group became addicted because of it.
At that time, there was no way to detoxify or avoid the poison, so the only way was to move in a circle to avoid the poison fog.
Naturally, there was quite a bit of delay and it took longer to arrive at our destination.
But now things are different.
Thanks to the magic book taken out from Mammon’s treasure trove, the poisonous fog around them quickly disappeared.
This method allowed us to reach our destination via the shortest route.
Of course, first of all.
“Did you say Lee Ha-neul? Let’s get treatment done quickly.”
“Thank you! Please wait a moment while I treat you all in order!”
Lee Ha-neul began to quickly cure people of their poison.
As the camp’s sole healer, she treated many wounds, but her constellation was more associated with illness than with wounds.
So, treating poison was the area in which I was most confident.
Starting with Park Jeong-pil, whose condition was severe, people’s poisoning was quickly cured.
‘If you want to leave quickly, I’d better help too.’
-The Treasure Trove of Greed has been opened.
[ Cure Poison ]
– The most basic detoxification magic of Baektap, it neutralizes poison that has permeated the body.
Woohoo-
Seun’s circle, now made of three circles, rotates quickly.
Contrary to the plan to mix the magic of different magic towers in each circle, I ended up achieving the third circle by accident, so only the magic of the Blue Tower and the Black Tower were applied, but it was not extremely toxic, and even the light toxicity was easily purified.
The people’s condition quickly improved and the clan atmosphere began to stabilize.
“Mr. Seun! You’re back!”
“Thanks to Kang Han-cheol leaving such deep footprints, we arrived earlier than expected.”
“It was just a training method.”
“More than that, Mr. Seun, those people over there… … ?”
Yoo Seo-ah pointed behind Se-un.
There were ten men and women standing in a row with hardened eyes, as if they had been through everything.
Before Se-woon could explain anything, a man stepped forward as a representative.
“This is Iljung Lee. Thanks to you, Seun, we were all able to save our lives.”
“Oh, hello. My name is Yoo Seo-ah.”
“If you permit me, I would like to follow Seun and join this clan. Of course, we will all do our best… … .”
The man continued to speak. It seemed as if he wanted to gain their trust, knowing that they were outsiders.
However, instead of listening to the man’s words, Yu Seo-ah looked at Se-woon.
As Se-woon nodded slightly, Yoo Seo-ah extended her right hand to the man who was continuing his explanation.
“Welcome.”
“… … Are you really going to accept us all?”
“Of course. If they are people that Se-un acknowledges, we can trust them too.”
“Thank you! I’ll do my best not to disturb you!”
“What’s the bother? Well, I think you should change your clothes first. Areum, Daun?”
“Yes, sis!”
“Yes, sis!”
“Can you please pack some clothes for these people and briefly explain the situation on our side?”
“Yes, leave it to me!”
“Everyone, come this way! I have some leather clothes left over that I made as spares!”
The twin sisters guided the people who followed Seun.
Since the atmosphere was welcoming, not only for Yu Seo-ah but also for the others, they couldn’t help but be bewildered.
Moreover, I was surprised by the size of the clan. Seun’s clan had barely changed in number since the beginning of the tutorial.
There were no visible injuries, except for those who had just been poisoned.
The carriage was full of all kinds of materials, sleeping bags, and food.
There was a sense of ‘leisure’ on people’s faces that I had not felt since coming to the tutorial.
“That’s unexpected. Mr. Se-un is bringing people.”
“If you’ve survived this far, your will must be strong.”
“Will. It’s the most important mindset here.”
While talking with Yoo Seo-ah, Lee Ha-neul finished treating all the people.
As soon as the poison was purified, Park Jeong-pil ran over and started spouting words like “right-hand man” and “respect”, but Se-woon chased Park Jeong-pil away as if he found it annoying.
And then again, following the tutorial, we started moving to our destination.
“So you’re saying that all that hazy stuff was poison fog? Ugh, just thinking about how my stomach was churning just now… … .”
“It’s horrible, really.”
Seun’s magic was still being activated at this very moment.
When it was 2 circles, he might have felt a little burdened by the use of mana, but Seun’s current level is 3 circles. He can use basic magic like Breeze with ease.
However, the problem is that it is difficult to use other powers.
Even though it was basic magic, its range was wide enough to encompass the clan, so there was a concern that the magic would waver if it went into direct combat.
As if aiming for it.
Wheeing!
“Crackle!”
Various monsters appeared and attacked the clan.
A wasp as big as your forearm, or a rat as big as your waist.
Among them, there was a slime that was approaching while writhing in black liquid.
however.
“Prepare for battle!”
“Prepare for battle!”
Under Yu Seo-ah’s direction, the people successfully fought off the monsters.
Even if he was injured or infected with poison, he was able to fight more confidently because Lee Ha-neul was there.
Originally, the poison fog was one of the most troubling trials for players in the second chapter of the tutorial.
Thanks to Seun’s wind magic and Lee Ha-neul’s healing ability, we were able to move forward more leisurely than during the Monster Wave.
And not long after.
– You have successfully withstood the test of poisonous fog.
-1,000 points will be awarded to all participants in the trial.
“Was the outside air always this clear?”
Seun’s clan was able to escape the poisonous fog safely.
* * *
The trials of the second chapter of the tutorial continued after that.
Moving between cliffs, traversing swamps covered in acidic solutions, being attacked by monsters, etc.
They were all life-threatening trials.
All of these things remained as terrible memories to Se-Woon before his regression.
At that time, I tried my best to avoid those trials.
-You have successfully passed the wobbly leg test.
-1,000 points will be awarded to all participants in the trial.
-You have successfully passed the ordeal of the acid swamp.
-1,500 points will be awarded to all participants in the trial.
-You successfully subdued a herd of red bears.
– 2,000 points will be awarded to all participants in the trial.
Now we have been able to get through all the trials in a straight line without a single casualty.
Even if there were casualties, it wasn’t a fatal wound, so it wasn’t a problem thanks to the presence of therapists Lee Ha-neul and Se-woon.
People also felt more confident and walked without hesitation.
Of course, here.
“Brother, there’s a blockage in front of me. I don’t think the carriage can pass.”
“Just go. You can just get through it.”
“Oh, as expected from my brother!”
Park Jeong-pil, who is completing his scout mission better than expected.
“The road is rough, so be careful! A-reum-ah, Dawn-ah. Can you look at the carriage wheels?”
“Yes, sis!”
“Mine is sturdy and will never break. Hehe!”
“Mine will never break!”
Now, Yoo Seo-ah is leading people as skillfully as flowing water.
“Is that a rock? I’ll break through it.”
BANG!!
Wow-
“Wow, what kind of person breaks a rock with their fist… … .”
“I thought we had gotten stronger, but those three are way too strong. Seriously.”
Strong iron that breaks through obstacles with overwhelming force.
It was thanks to the efforts of many people, including Seun.
And in the meantime.
– You have completely conquered the hidden dungeon, ‘The Spawning Ground of Evil Insects.’
-You have achieved amazing things.
-As a reward, your personal public service value increases by 4,000 points.
-You have obtained the ‘Carapace of the Whirlwind Worm’.
“It’s a shell. I think the old man will like it if I give it to him.”
Whenever Se-Woon had time, he quietly escaped and searched for and conquered various hidden dungeons.
Before returning, I desperately wandered around the dungeons, avoiding trials in order to survive, and I knew the locations of the dungeons thanks to the use of the ‘Journey’s Guide’.
Of course, at the time, I had only discovered the dungeon and did not have the strength to conquer it, but now, I could easily conquer a dungeon like this on my own.
-Designated the entire ‘Spawning Ground of Evil Insects’ with the power of gluttony.
-The fangs of gluttony are coming to attack the village!
-The constellation, ‘The Hungry Prince’, savors the eel’s fluid, saying that the chewy texture is always fantastic.
Seun’s conquest ended with him preying on all the monsters in the dungeon.
This time too, quite a lot of energy was absorbed and accumulated in the danjeon and circle.
Of course, it wasn’t as dramatic an effect as when the 3rd circle was created, but even with this, it was more effective than any deep energy or mana training method.
If things continued like this, it seemed like we could reach Circle 4 much faster than planned.
“Brother, are you out?”
“How did you know about this place?”
“I saw your tracks while I was scouting, so I followed you! You’re the only one who can slaughter monsters like that, right?”
You found traces.
As far as Se-woon knew, Park Jeong-pil had no skills related to searching. That means he just followed Se-woon’s trail with his keen eye and arrived here.
‘It wasn’t like this before the regression.’
He was stuck behind Kang-cheol and kept muttering, and when the shield disappeared, he lost his life along with him. That was the appearance of Park Jeong-pil that Se-woon had seen before he returned.
But what about now? It was the complete opposite of before the regression.
I hate to admit it, but the guy was definitely talented.
“Are you going to stop somewhere else? If you are a person, there is plenty of space. It is a difficult road for a carriage to pass, so it will take some time.”
“No, I’ll be right back.”
“Oh, what brings you here and there, brother? Even when you have a little free time, you wander around here and there.”
As the guy said, Se-Woon was always out and about, looking for hidden pieces, as long as he didn’t miss people.
Thanks to that, I have already cleared five hidden dungeons. In addition, I was able to obtain several hidden items and a lot of additional achievement points.
but.
“Now I’ve found everything I could find.”
“Wow, that’s amazing! Seriously, I’m always amazed when I see your achievements, hyung?”
As a result of diligently searching for hidden pieces.
Seun’s achievements are.
[ 1st place: Jeong Se-woon 250,080 points ]
[ 2nd place: Kang Han-cheol 16,220 points ]
[ 3rd place: Yoo Seo Ah 15,980 points ]
It was approaching 250,000.
Another thing that has changed is the rankings of Kang Han-cheol and Yoo Seo-ah.
It wasn’t a huge difference, but since Yu Seo-ah was in charge of commanding people along with battles, the public service points she earned as an individual decreased.
‘Even if it’s not good enough, it’s probably in the rankings.’
To be honest, it wouldn’t be strange at all if they were ranked first overall, but they are of a different species to begin with, or they receive the power of a strong constellation from the start, etc. There are always players at the top who are of the extra level.
So it was difficult to be proud of this.
furthermore.
“Go quickly.”
“Yes, bro! Come experience the ride of my Baekrang! As I ride it, my driving skills have improved! The speed is really… … .”
