Reading Webnovels Makes Me Stronger

Chapter 289

That evening, Cheong-seong and Lee Soo-young returned.

Four people gathered in a room in a slightly shabby dorm, and Park Si-jun decided to listen to the information they brought.

“Were you fighting?”

“Fighting? Who, monsters?”

“Yeah, no matter what you do to protect nature… There’s no way the monsters there will recognize it.”

Lee Soo-young said in a dull tone.

“He’s busy fighting plant-based monsters. It seems like he’s trying his best to save them, but how easy is that? You have to kill them, huh.”

“Hmm, how many people are there?”

“Many. I’ve seen more than 100 people, and how many people did Lee Soo-young see?”

“I’m about 150 people.”

250 people in total.

There will be overlapping people, but if you consider the people on the side of the base, the number will increase.

“Have you seen them before?”

“I haven’t been able to go. The road is already rough, but I’m stuck in the most remote place there.”

“The location has been determined. The closer you get, the more likely you’ll get caught, so we didn’t get any closer.”

“It’s a wise choice.”

Park Si-jun nodded his head.

“Killing is a bit like that.”

After thinking for a moment, he said abruptly.

killing is like that I was talking about the players monitoring the Amazon forest.

“You’re not going to kill me and go inside?”

“It will inflict some injuries, but if possible, there should be no killings. If one of them dies, things will get out of hand.”

“Considering the situation in this area, it’s not wrong. So, why not avoid it as much as possible?”

“Uh, if I do well, I think I can go without a fight.”

Lee Soo-young or Cheong-seong nodded their heads without any complaints. Because he’s not a villain, and killing the same player was annoying.

“Then let’s leave tomorrow.”

“Yeah.”

Others stood up immediately.

Lee Min-ah, who had been quiet until now, tried to do the same, but there was one problem.

“Ugh, Koh…”

Ishimi was dozing on her lap.

Park Si-joon looked at Lee Min-ah, who was in trouble for a moment, and then took over Ishi-mi while sighing.

“I must have been tired.”

“Because I’ve been running around all day long. And I must have liked you.”

“Is that so?”

“Are you doing that to me too?”

Lee Min-ah blankly tilted her head. Lee Soo-young, who was heartbroken after seeing that, intervened.

“Who says what? He’s a picky guy, so he doesn’t sleep on her lap unless he likes him.”

“Okay. You should be happy, right?”

“You don’t like it, do you?”

Lee Min-ah nodded her head. She said the child was following her, and she had no reason to be offended.

“Sooyoung, please do something.”

“Ah, I feel like I’m asking for a troublesome thing…”

“Some coffee.”

“Good night, what kind of coffee…”

Although Lee Soo-young grumbled with her, she could not refuse Park Si-joon’s request.

She asked what the others were drinking and went downstairs.

“How’s the situation on your guild side?”

Park Si-jun asked Lee Min-ah a little. Cheongseong sat back down in her chair and watched the conversation.

“Are you talking about Nemesis? Fortunately, our guild is not connected at this gate… For now, we are holding our breath.”

“The reverse has been a mess.”

She was campaigning that she would become president of the association, and she was told that she was stopped by this.

Did she say that she was under pressure from all sides?

She said, “She is probably Han Min-hyuk’s daughter, and there are people, and the birth of Yeok-cheon itself is closely related to Han Min-hyuk.”

“Shin Yun-woo said he was in denial. He recently said that he noticed that and kept his distance.”

“He’s insisting he does, but the timing isn’t very good.”

Lee Min-ah laughed bitterly.

“This time, as the list of politicians was released, the impact got bigger. Politicians chose a scapegoat to bury this incident…”

“That’s Yunwoo Shin.”

“Yeah, it looks like they’re trying to focus on only Shin Yun-woo so that the damage doesn’t get bigger.”

For Shin Yun-woo, it would be terrifying.

Originally, he would have had the help of politicians and high-ranking officials planted by him or Jormungand.

It was not possible now.

‘Because they were all caught.’

In this case, someone in a higher position than such a politician or high-ranking person was helping.

President.

“I’m sure you have a close relationship with Song Baek-chan, the former president of the association. What happened between you two?”

“The President?”

I heard that Song Baek-chan went directly to the president and told him about the gate.

The president said he would be happy to help.

“He heard that the former president of the association saved his life in the past. He said he had been caught in a rift.”

“okay?”

Cheongseong, who had been listening quietly, spoke up. Park Si-joon’s eyes widened at his unexpected words.

“It was not strange when he died, and the recovery magic was not working. At that time, I heard that the former president of the association used a very precious elixir to cure the president, who was still a member of the National Assembly.”

“I’m going to repay that favor now, right?”

“Besides that, there must also be the president’s personal purpose.”

Park Si-jun smiled as he recalled the list of politicians who had been blown away this time.

“I brought coffee and tea. Huh? Uncle, were you talking about anything funny except me?”

“No, it’s not a big deal.”

Park Si-joon laid Ishi-mi in his arms on the bed.

The cat clinging to the guy yawned for a long time as if he had woken up.

“I’ll be busy from tomorrow.”

* * *

Park Si-jun looked at the jungle in front of him.

As soon as he saw it, he sighed.

Inside the jungle, there are even monsters in the swampy area, so it’s a mess.

And all kinds of bugs.

“I live and live, I come all the way to this place.”

“Stop complaining and go in.”

Lee Soo-young grabbed Park Si-joon’s arm and pulled him. As he was dragged reluctantly, he broadened his senses.

Presence detection detected a wide range of presence.

“There are quite a few monsters.”

“A lot. You’ll be surprised when you enter.”

Most of the signs I felt were monsters.

Fortunately, the level is not that high of a monster. And the bad thing is.

“The monsters here use poison or anything else as a means of attack.”

“The level is low, but it’s tricky, right?”

At Cheongseong’s words, Park Sijun clicked his tongue.

He’s strong against status ailments, but others aren’t. You will have to be careful.

‘I need to summon some undead.’

Fortunately, there were also beast-type monsters, not plant-type monsters, inside the forest.

Park Si-jun decided to hunt them first.

“Coming over there!”

Moving inside the Amazon forest was a bit tricky.

So Park Si-jun chose to hunt monsters by enticing them rather than hunting them by moving.

“Aaaah! Why am I like this!”

It was Lee Soo-young who took on the role.

It was because she was the one who could move quickly, regardless of the terrain, even in such a forest area.

Lee Soo-young brought a group of monsters, and Park Si-joon and Lee Min-ah, who were waiting for her, hunted them down.

“Um, okay. Let’s keep it alive as an undead…”

– Whoa, whoa… …

Park Si-jun hummed his hum and created the undead. After repeating this process a few times, quite a number of undead were created.

“Let’s go ahead with these.”

“Yes, but where did Cheongseong go?”

Lee Min-ah was curious. Park Si-jun asked Cheong-seong to do something different from Lee Soo-young, and he left immediately.

“You’ll find out in a little while.”

“…is that so?”

Lee Min-ah was still curious, but she didn’t bother to ask more.

Park Si-jun went forward with the undead.

“Hey, can you see those? That’s it.”

Lee Soo-young pointed forward.

I saw huge flowers in the thickets of bushes. It’s not just an ordinary flower.

Everyone looked like monsters.

“And those bushes…”

But that wasn’t all.

Lee Soo-young threw the flesh of the monster he had brought a while ago toward the bush. OK.

Push!

The bushes, which seemed ordinary, suddenly became sharp and pierced through the flesh.

Then a monster with its mouth wide open came out of the floor and swallowed the flesh.

‘Is it a trap?’

It was a monster that made use of those giant flower monsters to distract and eat prey.

Lee Soo-young threw his dagger without hesitation.

– Kiaaaak!

The monster pierced his head in pain. Lee Soo-young dealt with the monster at once.

“Be careful, because it’s full of these guys.”

Park Si-jun nodded his head.

It would be convenient to sweep it away with fire magic, but it was impossible.

You just have to be careful and move on.

“But where are you going?”

“Inside.”

“If you go further, you will meet those people…”

Lee Soo-young said worriedly.

Park Si-joon continued to move inward and was using his skill. Just explore the dungeon.

‘The time has come to come out slowly.’

It is certain that there are pillars in this forest.

Considering what has happened so far, it’s probably in the dungeon. If you use dungeon search, you will know the location of the dungeon where the pillars are.

The problem is that the dungeon was not found at the entrance. This means that there are no dungeons within range.

‘It’s probably inside.’

Park Si-jun thought so, and he moved on.

How did he move like that?

[Dungeon: Heart of the Forest]

A complex maze-shaped cave with the heart of the forest. There are many monsters inside, protecting the heart of the forest.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

+) No one knows what will happen if you defeat Heart of the Forest.

[Difficulty] A+

A dungeon search was activated.

The description of the dungeon appeared in front of Si-Jun Park. His eyes gleamed.

“What did you find?”

“Uh, finally.”

Lee Min-ah asked softly. Park Si-joon detected the presence of the dungeon.

There was one problem.

‘There are quite a few people nearby.’

maybe the players.

It would be easier to just kill him and enter, but since we decided not to do that, we have to think of another way.

Park Si-jun saw the undead waiting for orders.

‘I want to attract attention.’

I remembered something.

* * *

“What the hell is this place you’re telling me to keep?”

A cave deep in the forest. A group of players guarded the entrance.

“I don’t know, Maria told me to keep it, so I’ll keep it.”

“Where did that Maria go now?”

“Negotiation.”

They were members of Maria’s Guild, a Brazilian ranker who declared that they would protect this forest.

“It’s good to protect the forest or what to do, but did we have to bring in us too…”

The man murmured dissatisfied.

There were many who sympathized with Mary’s will, but there were also a few who did not.

Those here were some of them.

“Shut up. No one might hear you.”

“Yeah, okay… you should be quiet.”

The man sighed and bit his mouth.

square, square. I could hear bugs passing by nearby. Maybe it’s a monster.

‘I wish I could go back to finish everything soon.’

Living in this forest full of monsters was perfect for making people’s minds strange.

The man thought he wanted to go back, and he looked straight ahead.

“uh?”

he saw something

Beyond the forest, trees lined up in abundance.

A huge bone golem approaching while crushing them.

“What is that… what?”

The undead approaching.

The man’s expression darkened.
