Maxed Out Leveling Novel

Chapter 97

34. Subspecies (2)

Dungeon Rabbit.

The representative monster of the tutorial dungeon.

He’s much better at jumping than normal rabbits, and he’s strong, but he’s a rabbit anyway. It is a miscellaneous mob among miscellaneous mobs that have nothing to look at after taking level 5 and getting a hunter license.

“Each dungeon has a slightly different appearance, but in Cha Shin Hyeon’s eyes, it might be a familiar species. Was the tutorial dungeon that Cha had rented from Mt. Chiak?”

“Yes it was.”

“This guy is from there. He was caught about a week ago.”

“Caught… go.”

Cha Shin Hyeon murmured and looked into the rabbit’s corpse.

“It’s definitely dead.”

“Yes. There’s no doubt about that. medically as well. It was originally transported here as a corpse.”

Lee Ji-hye spoke in her meaningful voice.

“If you are, you will know what the contradiction is here, without having to explain it.”

“… I can’t know.”

Cha Shin Hyeon’s eyes deepened.

“This guy is dead, but why is he maintaining his form?”

When a monster dies, a monster remains.

To be precise, only ‘Monstone’ is left.

Whether limbs are severed or blood is splattered everywhere, when they die, all of them disappear, leaving only the monsters.

In other words, the ‘corpse’ of a monster was something that could not exist in the first place.

“Are you sure it’s a dungeon rabbit? Where did you pick up an ordinary rabbit from?”

“well. If you ask me if I’m 100% sure, it’s hard to give a straight-forward answer. If it was something I caught, it could be, but it is not.”

Lee Ji-hye shrugged her shoulders.

“But I don’t think it’s very likely that the people who reported this body were faking it. Isn’t it absurd that dead monsters didn’t disappear? There is a high possibility that you will not believe it even if you say it, so why bother making up and reporting it? There is nothing to gain from lying.”

“It is, but… … .”

Cha Shin Hyeon drooled. Jihye Lee continued to explain.

“First, according to the report, it occurred while the Chiaksan dungeon management hunters were clearing the dungeon as usual. I was surprised to find a rabbit corpse that did not disappear and reported it to the superior.”

“Are there any more of these?”

“no. This is the only one found.”

“It must be a very valuable sample. So what about the investigation of the body? Did you use scientific methods or not?”

“I took a part of the tissue and did a simple test, but I couldn’t find any significant differences from the normal rabbits, according to what has been revealed so far. Maybe crossbreeding is possible… … .”

“Huh.”

A mule appears between a horse and a donkey, which seem different at first glance, and a second generation appears between a lion and a tiger.

So, it was not strange that dungeon rabbits and regular rabbits that looked the same could crossbreed. Except that the dungeon rabbit is a ‘monster’.

Lee Ji-hye tried hard and added in a positive voice.

“Of course, that’s pure speculation and there’s no direct way to confirm it. Actually, there has never been a case of a monster hatching a baby or becoming an adult from a body, right?”

“It is.”

Cha Shin Hyeon grunted back.

“There was no case of monsters that exploded in the number of monsters or left corpses.”Just because it hasn’t done so before, I can’t guarantee that it won’t happen again in the future. Cha Shin Hyeon pointed that out.

“… Well, whatever it is.”

Lee Ji-hye doesn’t know that either. I know, but it’s just the kind of thing that I can’t deal with.

With a light sigh, she turned her head away.

“I wanted to show Cha Shin Hyeon before the full dissection. I was wondering if you could find something.”

“Thank you for your consideration.”

Cha Shin Hyeon murmured as she carefully raised the rabbit’s corpse to eye level with a high-speed attack and turned it around like a globe.

“I can’t tell anything from looking at it.”

“is that so?”

“Even if you look at the vitality, the spirit, the magic, or any other energy… Neither the intuition nor the intuition finds any abnormalities. It is just a carcass of a dead animal.”

As far as Lee Ji-hye knows, there is no one more capable than Cha Shin Hyeon in the non-scientific realm. Isn’t he a semi-classified being who freely manipulates the realm of a deep sword?

If he says he hasn’t found it, then there’s nothing special about it. It was a disappointing answer for Lee Ji-hye, who had been looking forward to seeing something about her that she had not seen before.

“It’s impossible to say for sure just by looking at this.”

“Yes?”

“It is said that just as there is not much information that can be obtained by looking at the corpse after death of an uninhabited person, the same can be said of monsters.”

Cha Shin Hyeon said while putting down the rabbit’s body.

“Is this from Chiaksan Dungeon?”

“Ah yes.”

“Rent a little for a while. Until I say it again, please control access.”

“Would you like to go see for yourself?”

“Because it seems that you can judge accurately by looking at the one who lived. If possible, you can try to catch it. Whether it can be transported out of the dungeon is another matter.”

When Cha Shin Hyeon gave her a glance that it was over, Lee Ji-hye manipulated her coffin. The lid snapped shut and the internal preservation magic worked again.

“Ah, did a monster come out of that monster?”

“I don’t know. It was discovered in the process of sweeping away a flock of rabbits that had gathered in one place… There were a lot of monsters lying around, so I couldn’t figure it out.”

“You just need to compare the total number of rabbits and the number of monsters.”

“For ordinary hunters, such a thing is unreasonable.”

Lee Ji-hye gave her a bruise.

“Unless you were determined and counted from the beginning, you could just look at it and figure it out. It must have been just about grabbing whatever you want and picking up whatever you want.”

“is it. If you do, you should figure it out.”

Cha Shin Hyeon gave her last request as she left the lab.

“A similar thing may happen in other dungeons, so please keep monitoring. Because this seems to be a bigger problem than the increase in the number of monsters.”

“Yeah, that’s right.”

Lee Ji-hye, noticing her intentions, shook her head heavily.

“I wish it was rain.”

Cha Shin Hyeon muttered softly.

* * *

Four days later, Sunday.

Since about 10 days have passed since the last hunting day, there must have been enough monsters in the dungeon.

Cha Shin Hyeon had breakfast and drove to Wonju by herself.

Arriving at the tutorial dungeon in Mt. Chiak, he went through the simple procedure of showing his permit and went right inside.

‘It’s still relaxing.’

Although the faces of the hunters who managed the rotation had changed, the office atmosphere was relaxed. That is why it is said that this is a honey job.

There were no noticeable changes inside the dungeon.

A pleasant breeze blows gently, peaceful meadows and small hills. I want to recommend it as a picnic spot.

In the meantime, I’ve only chosen high-risk dungeons in a harsh environment, and coming to such a peaceful place makes my heart warm.

But I didn’t come to play today. Instead of coming here to play, I came here to do a very annoying repetitive chore.

Cha Shin Hyeon kicked his tongue and slammed the ground lightly.

shhh!

Moving as fast as a single breeze, he climbs up the hill at once.

At the bottom of the hill in the opposite direction from where he had come up, he walked towards the group of dungeon rabbits.

There are well over 1,000 rabbits in the entire dungeon captured by Cha Shin Hyeon’s senses.

The thought of killing them one by one already made me depressed, but fortunately, his curiosity about the situation was large enough to cover the annoyance.

Kei!

As the distance drew closer, the rabbits pricked up their ears and responded. Soon a herd of red-eyed rabbits rushed towards Cha Shin Hyeon.

Cha Shin Hyeon, who was walking casually without regard for anything, waved his hand lightly.

👌👌👌

An invisible energy moved.

The flock of rabbits that were running came to a halt as if caught in a net. Although he struggled with a whimper, it is Cha Shin Hyeon’s strength that even monsters that are hundreds of times stronger than them can’t escape.

Cha Shin Hyeon, who simply stopped the herd of 50 rabbits, reached out his hand.

Whik!

One of the dungeon rabbits at the forefront came tucked away like a piece of iron attracted to a magnet.

A rabbit floating in the air looks at Cha Shin Hyeon with eyes mixed with anxiety and anger. Either way, Cha Shin Hyeon patted the rabbit. The soft feel is really nice.

Acting like a pet, Cha Shin Hyeon scanned the rabbit’s whole body. With your eyes, with your senses, with your energy, with your magic.

‘Well.’

Hunters don’t pay more attention to monsters than necessary.

How strong is it, how fast is it, how hard is the leather? What kind of pattern does it move and whether it uses magic by using magical powers.

Literally, the hunter only looks with the eyes that measure the prey.

In fact, there is no need for any other information. All you need to know is that if you kill them, you gain experience points and monsters come out, so what reason could there be to go deeper? Hunter is not a scholar.

Cha Shin Hyeon has been like that so far.

Now that I am curious about the monster itself, I have a desire to take a closer look.

‘These guys are definitely living things.’

I think it’s a bit too obvious, but Cha Shin Hyeon’s conclusion after examining the rabbit in detail was a little more meaningful.

Muscles surround the bones, and flesh covers them. The heart beats vigorously to pump blood throughout the body, the brain gives commands, and other organs are active.

The monster itself was a living creature.

‘It’s just that they have different temperaments.’

No matter what life is, it has vitality, and although the temperament is different for each individual, the framework is not different.

However, the energy possessed by the dungeon rabbit was somewhat different from the energy possessed by life on Earth. It is at a level that you can notice when it comes to Cha Shin Hyeon, but the fundamental part of the energy is different.

‘It’s as if aggression and magical power are different.’

That’s understandable. Monsters are creatures that live in a different world called dungeons, so it is understandable that the types of vitality are different.But it was still out of the ordinary to disappear when you die.

Cha Shin Hyeon lightly released aerodynamics from her fingertips.

Queek!

The energy of the shot destroys the rabbit’s body. The bunny who had a flurry died picky.

Eventually, the rabbit’s body disappeared, leaving behind a monster.

‘And the unique vitality of the monster and the energy contained within the monster are the same.’

If so, is MONSTONE a kind of inner altar?

However, there are a lot of things that go wrong with that.

shhh!

Cha Shin Hyeon stroked the air with her fingers.

Scratch!

A guy who cuts in half straight from the top of his head. A person whose upper body and lower body are separated into two. a guy with a flying neck. A guy with holes in his body like being pierced by several skewers.

A scene of cruelty worthy of trembling at an animal protection group was produced, and the rabbits were killed in a rush. Monston also fell in excellent water.

Scratch! Whoops! Whoops! Shak!

The way rabbits died became more and more cruel, and eventually, the whole body was smashed into hundreds of pieces and even the rabbit died. A rabbit the size of a rabbit means that it is really torn into pieces to produce hundreds of pieces.

Of course, it was never because Cha Shin Hyeon likes blood. because of the experiment.

Even though he almost disassembled the rabbit into a size smaller than the size of a monster.

The monster was not found anywhere in the rabbit’s body.

Instead, Cha Shin Hyeon was able to witness an interesting scene.

self-

Before the shattered body of the rabbit disappeared into pieces, a red aura was caught among the haemophilia.

Red energy gathers in a circle. Eventually, the rabbit’s body disappeared, leaving only it.

It was the process of creating monsters.

‘… I don’t understand anymore.’

Small questions have been resolved, but essential questions still remain.

For example, monsters such as lava giants and ice phoenixes that could not be considered normal living things, such as those seen in Chuncheon’s Unexpected Seas and Geumgangsan Mountains.

Dungeon Rabbit is not that kind. As the scans revealed, they were fully independent living creatures.

When such an existence dies, why would the rest disappear, leaving only one red stone?

It was a problem that everyone had skipped over until now, saying, “It must be because it’s a monster,” but now that such a monster came out, this question should not be neglected.

‘So he has to come out soon.’

A special rabbit that does not disappear even if it dies.

Cha Shin Hyeon sighed and slaughtered the rabbits.

The work continued on the next hill, the next hill.

When the number of dead rabbits surpassed 100 and over 200 to 300, I started to get annoyed. Still, I waited patiently for it to come out someday.

Then, in the end, there were over six hundred.

It was about half way around the dungeon, starting from the entrance and drawing a clockwise direction.

A nook that can be seen as the farthest from the dungeon entrance.

Cha Shin Hyeon, who found something there, frowned.

“… what?”

There was a black crack in the air.
