Reading Webnovels Makes Me Stronger

Chapter 279

Of course, there was no way Han Go-woon could refuse.

Instead, she told me to take Cheongseong. She said she needed someone to contact in case of an unexpected situation.

“I wish you well.”

Cheongseong politely bowed her head.

“By the way, I think it’s the first time I’m going to the Abyss with you, isn’t it?”

“Yes. I’ve seen you hunt.”

Cheongseong said that she was good at reconnaissance and stealth as a member of a hunting dog. She’s the perfect fit for where she’s going this time.

She said, ‘She cried and cried, and she said she could trust her.’

Park Si-joon looked at Cheongseong silently.

She will find out this time when she gets to work.

“Then let’s go. We decided to meet at the Abyss.”

Park Si-joon began to act.

The place he went to was a bit remote from the Abyss. He agreed to meet a man there.

“You’re here.”

It was Lee Min-ah. She used waypoints to guide them to different areas.

We arrived at a place with a small Chinese-style village.

People dressed like those seen in martial arts were walking around the village. Among them, there were also players of the swordsman.

“Hey, there’s danger…!”

“I’ll take care of it. Thank you.”

The two quickly left the village and entered the forest path. People who saw them tried to stop them, but Lee Min-ah refused.

“This is the area we are targeting.”

Lee Min-ah said while walking along the long forest path.

Park Si-jun looked at the place he had just passed by. A place with a small Chinese-style village.

Is it a place related to Moorim like the old Kunlun Mountain?

“And it’s also where the villains under King Mandokji have invaded.”

“Are you at war with them?”

“Yeah, I don’t know how you got here…”

Lee Min-ah let out her sigh.

It seems that the villains under King Mandokji know the existence of the holy relics here and are attacking them.

Currently, the Guild of the Swordsman was busy blocking the attack and attacking the pioneering area.

“It seems that there are relics here.”

“I think that’s very likely.”

The two continued walking.

The scenery around us began to change as we walked.

At first it was full of dense trees, but now only dried and twisted trees are visible.

In addition, the colors of the trees were strange.

“It’s a strange color.”

– Nyaan.

Ishimi pulled off a branch. The color of the dried and twisted branches was purple.

Park Si-jun narrowed his eyes.

“It’s poison.”

“That’s right.”

Lee Min-ah nodded her head.

“This area is completely engulfed by poison. It’s fine so far, but if you go further in, you can’t even get close to it because of the poison.”

“okay?”

Lee Min-ah, who had been walking for a while, stopped her footsteps.

She saw something like a hazy mist floating in the dark forest. Pale purple mist.

Park Si-jun inhaled the fog.

‘It’s okay.’

I felt my senses warn me.

alone

– Swoosh!

As Cheong-seong stopped breathing and stepped back, the black cloud on Park Si-joon’s arm began to move.

Black clouds dispersed like mist, and the poisonous dance around them began to fade.

Heukwoon absorbed the poison.

“……”

“You can go on.”

Cheng’s eyes widened slightly. But for a while, as if it was not a big surprise, he stood behind Park Si-joon.

Lee Min-ah also nodded her head.

“I was worried about nothing. Let’s go.”

She continued on her way.

The solo dance that spread inside the forest became even thicker, and the movement of Black Cloud became even busier.

‘There must be a limit to the amount of this absorption.’

Park Si-jun looked around.

this kind of loneliness. Moreover, poison enough to poison the entire forest.

There must be a source somewhere.

And the source was quickly found.

“Here it is.”

“This….”

Chengdu’s cheeks twitched. Looking at the scene in front of her, there was no choice but to do so.

Park Si-jun sighed.

“The whole lake must have been like this.”

In the depths of the forest, there was a large space.

And there was a lake in the middle, and the color of the lake was unusual.

“Black.”

Ishimi said, pointing to the lake.

As the guy said, the color of the lake was dark. Besides, it was sticky like some kind of mud, and there were bubbles.

Park Si-jun knelt in front of the lake.

‘The source is right here.’

I could see poison spewing out of the lake.

Park Si-joon glanced at the lake, pulled out a piece of food from his inventory, and immediately poured it into his mouth.

And he boldly put his hand into the lake.

“It’s dangerous!”

Lee Min-ah shouted hastily.

There were things like bones and flesh floating around in the lake. These are things that have not yet been completely dissolved in poison.

It is poisonous enough to melt bones and flesh.

That’s why I warned you.

“Well….”

Park Si-jun was fine.

He had raised his tolerance to poison by using Cheonpok Bulchim, and he ate food as well.

[Fried Fugu (☆☆☆☆☆☆☆)]

It is a dish prepared by a chef with exceptional skill. After the poison was removed and the sashimi was neatly floated, it was deep-fried.

Anyone who eats will be amazed at the taste of the food.

-Effect: Poison power +50%, Poison resistance +120 increase, even if poisoned, the effect of the poison is delayed, and the remaining poison in the body is healed

Unlike before, it was a dish with very high stars.

As his dexterity increased, the number of distinct foods increased, but it was the first time that there were so many.

Maybe that’s why, the effect was pretty flashy.

“Eat you too.”

“Are you in this situation?”

“I will enjoy this food.”

“Um‡œ‡œ.”

Lee Min-ah was taken aback, and Cheong-seong was shocked. Ishimi was holding out her hand before speaking.

The guy shared it with the cat.

It was soggy and didn’t taste as good as when it was just made, but it was a dish that could be eaten satisfactorily.

“Ah, I see…”

Bewildered, Lee Min-ah nodded her head as if she knew only then. She was crazy and she was wondering about this dish.

“This is a situation where we can’t attack because of the poison zone here. I’ve been here once or twice for reconnaissance, but I didn’t get any results.”

“Yeah? Did you find anything out of reconnaissance?”

“There are many monsters in this area.”

Lee Min-ah looked around and said.

“Most of these are beast-type monsters related to poison. We had a limit with our resistant items, so we had no choice but to retreat. We continued to look around, but…”

Lee Min-ah shook her head.

“There was nothing else besides this lake. It was the only thing I picked up, but there was no way to deal with it, so I retreated.”

Lee Min-ah said that she received help from Denemesis to attack this area.

Even in their words, this poison zone is difficult to attack, so I had been advised that it would be better to attack the other side first.

“Hmm….”

A terribly poisonous zone in the wild forest. And the villains of King Mandokji who suddenly invade and attack.

Besides, he said that there is even a holy place here.

“This is the most suspicious thing, then.”

“That’s why I brought Park Si-jun here.”

There was no choice but to doubt what was going on.

Park Si-jun used dungeon exploration skills.

[Dungeon: Source of Venom]

It was an ordinary cave connected to a lake, but for some reason it became a source of terrible poison.

The poison escaping from it is poisoning the surrounding area. If you let it go any longer, the pollution will grow out of control.

+) There is a cause of creating poison in the depths of the cave.

[Difficulty] A+

[Clear condition] To remove the source of poison

[Appearance Attribute] Fish Doll, Insect Type

Sure enough, there was a dungeon below this.

There is a cause of poison. I kind of guessed what it was. maybe a relic. That too.

‘It must be the holy relic of King Mandokji.’

Now the remaining question was how to get to that dungeon.

‘Should I just go inside by raising my tolerance as much as possible?’

No, not a good idea.

This venom is too black. If you just go in, you won’t see it at all.

It looks like there are monsters in the dungeon, but it’s too dangerous if you can’t even secure the view around you.

‘Besides, it’s hard to summon anything.’

The risk is too great to just ignore.

You have to change your mind. what’s the best way It is best to purify this poison and turn it into plain water.

The scroll you used last time you went to the underground cave remains, so you can use it to go down.

“Purification, purification…”

In Park Si-joon’s eyes, he could see the black fortune in his grasp.

“Hey, can you do it?”

– Slurry.

Park Si-jun has been feeding Heuk-woon with magina venom. He was there to help him grow.

Thanks to this, the amount of poison absorbed by Black Cloud greatly increased.

‘I think black luck can grow exponentially if you absorb even the venom here… .’

It seemed like a good opportunity.

Park Si-joon looked at Heuk-woon.

– Ugh.

A black mist floated in the air. It is moving in a certain trajectory, and it seems to draw a ‘0’.

It meant you could do it.

“It will take some time.”

Park Si-jun looked back at Cheongseong.

“Cheongseong. You check out the villains from outside. Call me if there is anything.”(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

“Yes. The means of contact are….”

Cheongseong clenched his fists and spread them out. Something like a butterfly flew out of that palm.

“I’ll send you this.”

“Good.”

Cheongseong immediately left the poison zone.

You can trust this side’s ability to be a great player. All that was left was Lee Min-ah.

“Are there many monsters around here?”

“Yes. All kinds of monsters roam around. Among them, there are monsters that are too small to recognize with the naked eye.”

“I’d like you to stand on the perimeter while I clean up here, can you do that?”

Lee Min-ah’s clear eyes stared at Park Si-joon.

It’s not easy. She herself has poison resistance gear, and she can further boost her immunity with food.

She will still have a lower immunity than she herself is, and the longer she stays here, the more poison she will suffer.

“It doesn’t matter. I do.”

She must have known herself well, but she readily agreed.

She said, ‘I’ve brought plenty of food, so I’ll be able to survive.’

By the way, fried fugu also has the effect of recovering poison.

Park Si-jun looked at the lake that had become a poison zone.

“Shall we do it?”

– Whoa.

The black cloud in his grasp moved with a glimmer.

Park Si-jun placed his hand on the surface of the lake. At the same time, black clouds seeped into the lake and began to absorb poison.

‘Is this a fight against time from now on?’

He had no choice but to wait.

* * *

As Lee Min-ah warned, there were monsters in this area. It was also a lot.

A small insect type, a giant beast type. Literally all kinds of monsters flocked in huge numbers.

‘Why do you only gather here?’

It’s like trying to chase away anyone approaching the lake.

It was Lee Min-ah who took care of those monsters.

– Aww!

Lee Min-ah performed a beautiful sword dance to the point of exclaiming. Every time that happened, plum blossom petals flew, and monsters that touched the blade fell to pieces.

‘Have your skills improved?’

The plum blossoms literally bloomed profusely.

If you think that each of them has a lethal power, it is a skill that is extremely difficult to block.

“I’m tired of fighting all day long.”

Park Si-jun supported her by resurrecting her dead monsters as her undead. She then repeated the process of evacuating the accumulated venom and absorbing her venom again.

“Park Si-jun, I don’t know if it’s because of my feelings…”

Lee Min-ah, who swept through the monsters, saw the lake.

“Doesn’t it seem a little clearer?”

The color of the black lake was pale purple.

‘There is progress.’

Park Si-jun nodded his head.
