Chapter 264

Park Si-joon came to the vicinity of the Sahara Desert.

He saw the desert landscape as he had imagined. And there was something like a village near the desert.

“What village? Did you all want to die?”

All villages in the Sahara or nearby have fallen, he was told. It was because the village was attacked by monsters because of the monsters that ruled the Sahara.

There were no players to protect the attack, so they had no choice but to give up the village and run away.

“I will. What do you mean?”

– Whoa… … .

But there was a village.

A small town with brick buildings. However, despite the size of the town, there were quite a few people.

There were a lot of hidden signs.

“What should I do, Mister? Shall we come and take a look?”

“No. I don’t think it’s necessary.”

Park Si-jun looked at the earthen wall that surrounded the village.

There was a black man in a tall watchtower there. He was a man with a stout physique.

‘It’s a player.’

Such a man was staring straight at him.

The distance between the village and Park Si-joon is quite long. It is a distance that is difficult to perceive with the naked eye.

The man ignored the distance and was making eye contact with Park Si-joon.

“Wow, that guy’s eyes are really nice. We’re looking, right?”

“Uh. What bow are you holding?”

“Are we aiming? No way…”

Before Lee Soo-young could finish her words.

-Piyuwoong!

The arrow flew with a pounding sound.

The flying arrow split into several branches and hit Park Si-jun.

“Oh, without a word!”

Lee Soo-young was annoyed and threw the dagger.

The dagger hanging from the thread rotated greatly, deflecting all the flying arrows.

The man’s eyes widened.

‘Did you knock them all out?’

Maybe that’s what he’s saying.

Lee Soo-young wanted to fight right away, but Park Si-joon had no intention of doing that.

He raised his hands.

“I don’t want to fight, but I wish I could just let you in.”

“Oh, can’t we just hit a few?”

The man continued to aim the bow.

But when Park Si-joon raised his hand and stood still, he tilted his head.

And after a while, the man shook his head.

“What do you mean?”

“Come closer. Don’t get too close.”

The bow was still aimed.

Park Si-jun followed the man’s words. Slowly, he approached the village, showing his unwillingness to fight.

The distance narrowed enough to hear each other’s voices.

“Who are you guys!”

The man shouted loudly. It was a thick voice.

“I came here because there is a strange monster in the center of this desert! I want to get some information!”

“That sand monster?”

sand monster. Is that the monster’s name?

The man frowned, as if in embarrassment.

“Are you a player? Where are you from!”

Park Si-jun took the license out of his arms without a word. And a pass issued by the Netherlands.

Currently, it is difficult to travel inside Africa due to various circumstances, but the Dutch side solved it.

“……”

The man’s eyes are still full of doubt.

He continued to ponder while looking at Park Si-joon, and then jumped off the watchtower after a while.

“Korea. Did you come all the way from that country?”

“Exactly in the Netherlands.”

“Well.”

The man pondered again and nodded his head.

“You said you wanted to get information about the sand monster. What do you plan to do once you know the information?”

“You have to kill me.”

Park Si-jun answered without hesitation.

As soon as the man heard it, he sighed and laughed bitterly.

“…just come in.”

* * *

The inside of the village was not very spacious.

There were only a few houses built of mud bricks. There weren’t many people around the village.

“People are the enemy.”

The man nodded without a word.

There were no people walking around, but I could feel the presence of people a lot. Especially in the basement.

“Come in.”

The man led us to the large mud house.

When he went inside, it was a little cooler than outside. Park Si-jun sat on the chair pointed to by the man.

“I want to serve you something, but I can’t afford it.”

“I do not need.”

Don’t skip the flea liver.

The man did not sit on the chair, but leaned his back against the wall. His eyes turned to Park Si-joon’s head.

To be precise, to Ishimi, who is sleeping there.

“…what is that monster?”

“It’s the guy I’m raising. It doesn’t hurt people. Instead, it has a bit of an appetite.”

“Can you believe that?”

“What have you been deceived?”

Lee Soo-young replied harshly.

It seems the man doesn’t like it.

Without Park Si-jun, he would have shot him right away.

“I’m sorry. This is a place where monsters often attack. Other than that, there are looters.”

“Attacks often?”

“okay.”

The man pulled up the curtain that covered the window.

A high gorge and the desert that stretched beyond it could be seen at a glance.

“One day, a sand monster appeared. It appeared from the heart of this desert, and it settled there. It devoured all who roamed the desert. And it created subordinates to follow him.”

“That’s what monsters say.”

“Yeah. Those monsters wander around the desert, looking for people and attacking them. It’s the same in this town.”

The man sighed.

“This village was built by gathering those who survived the attack. There are many villages that have been destroyed by sand monsters. Such survivors are gathered.”

“Then what are predators?”

“It’s not an easy place to live in this neighborhood. It’s not uncommon for people to attack the same person.”

Park Si-jun nodded his head as if he understood.

In short, he was like a thief. The man looked at Ishimi above Park Si-jun’s head.

He said, “I thought he was an enemy because he carried monsters. Well, I don’t believe it all now, but it’s long.”

“I don’t plan on staying here long. Do you know anything about that sand monster? Where does it appear?”

“wait.”

The man pulled out a map from his arms.

“This is where you are. From this town… if you go all the way here… you can go to the area of ​​its activity.”

“It’s quite a distance.”

“Uh, aren’t you going to go on foot?”

Lee Soo-young grumbled.

Is the wild rider cooldown over?

If she could ride a rider, she would.

“The sand monster moves under the desert. If the surroundings shake like an earthquake, and the sand shakes, it is evidence that it has appeared.”

“When that time comes, I’ll have to prepare for battle.”

“Yeah. The problem is the desert, so it won’t be easy to find the way… This is a problem you have to bear.”

Park Si-jun glanced at the man.

‘I think it will be helpful if I take him.’

But will that be what you think?

“Are you sure you want to help us?”

“none.”

The man just cut it off and refused.

“Why? Because the village is being raided?”

“Yes. Marauders have settled down in this area. Leaving the monsters, you never know when they will attack. I am the only one who can fight in this town.”

It means that you are the only player.

Other than that, there must be reasons why you can’t trust Park Si-joon and Lee Soo-young. So what should I do?

“Do you know where those looters are?”

“Pillagers? Why…?”

“I’m going to take care of it.”

The man’s eyes widened.

“If you come after dealing with them, you’ll guide me to the sand monster. How about it?”

The man thought for a moment.

It’s not bad. But there was a problem.

“I’m leaving…”

“What if we provide the means to protect the village in the meantime?”

The man panicked and closed his mouth.

And he slowly nodded his head.

“Good.”

Park Si-jun got up from his seat.

“I’ll have to do some work.”

* * *

“Did you really need help?”

“You have a lot of complaints today.”

“Hey, it’s not like that.”

Lee Soo-young grumbled.

It seems that he was angry because the man attacked him from the beginning. So I’m annoyed.

Park Si-jun passed her Ishimi to her.

– Kkaaah… … .

“You’re breathing like an uncle. He seems to be sleeping all day. Can I leave him alone?”

“Leave it alone. It bothers me when I wake up.”

Lee Soo-young stroked her Isimi’s hair. The boy’s tail wiggled softly.

“It’s a desert, so you need someone to guide you. It’s better to do a favor and find a guide than to waste time wandering around because you don’t know the way.”

“Ugh.”

Lee Soo-young still looked dissatisfied, but when Park Si-joon said it was okay, she didn’t vomit any more.

Park Si-jun looked at the map.

“It was around here.”

“Yeah. They almost play like local warlords. So you’ll find out where they are as you go.”

What the man said was true.

Park Si-joon, who had been walking in the desert for a while, stopped. Not far away, a small fortress appeared.

There were many people in the fortress.

“Wow, it’s a gun.”

Most were armed with firearms.

There were even a handful of players who were holding swords or something.

But it didn’t look that strong.

“Come on, what should I do?”

According to the man, there were many people who were kidnapped by them and held in the fortress.

He said that he kills a lot of people, so there is no need to let them live.

“Let’s do it quietly.”

Lee Soo-young nodded his head. The two lowered their posture and waited for the night to come.

* * *

– Doo doo doo!

– Whoa!

Gunshots echoed through the quiet desert.

The monsters that were hanging out outside were hit by bullets and started to retreat.

“I know that the damn cubs are here!”

“Catch that! It’s meat, meat!”(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

The men on the wall shouted out cheers.

A few more gunshots sounded, and the waiting players ran out and caught the monsters.

“It’s food!”

The surroundings became noisy.

After the sand monster appeared, various monsters began to appear in the desert.

Many of them could be used as food. Thanks to this, the food situation was on the good side.

“Water, give me water!”

“Thanks to the chieftain, my life has improved so much!”

So was the water.

The men who were dismantling the hunted monsters raised their heads. At the highest point in this fortress, a man with a full belly was looking down.

“Heh heh.”

The owner of this fortress was Bizan.

he raised his hand. Its grip was full of whirling clumps of water.

It was one of the means by which he ruled this place.

“I’m so glad I have a talent for water magic.”

Bizan chuckled and laughed.

She was lucky enough to awaken as a player, and even signed a contract with the magic essence. And then there are these characteristics.

Bizan used magic to unite the people in this area and build this fortress.

Since then, he has been plundering or kidnapping those who do not follow him and plundering them in various ways.

‘For now, we must continue to gather our strength.’

Bizan thought as he touched his stomach.

With the appearance of the sand monster, an area full of natural resources appeared in this desert.

It was the area he was aiming for.

‘I mean, no one cares here right now. If you monopolize them… … ‘

A fishy smile appeared on Bizan’s lips.

After a satisfactory tour of the bustling fortress, he slowly descended the stairs and entered his house.

“Uh?”

Bizan frowned.

The house is strangely dark. All the lights were off, and the curtains were closed, so no light from outside came in.

“What? Where have all these guys gone!”

There must be guards guarding the house.

Bizan rebelled and created a spark. And the moment to light the lamp.

– Ugh.

“Hey…!”

A blade went into his neck.

Bizan looked back with a nervous expression on his face. A huge skull face appeared.

And the woman with the blade.

– Whoops.

“Hey!”

“Are you Bizan?”

In an instant, Bizan’s vision was changed.

The man’s face appeared in Bizan’s eyes as he fell to the floor.

“Give me the key, nigga.”

Whoa! Park Si-jun’s fist struck Bizan in the back of the head.
