00148 Cave of Screams (1) —————————- —————————–=
When I raised my head, I saw the setting sun. I stopped for a moment and looked around at the lush bushes and tall trees. Perhaps because of the heavy rain, the grass growing along the road had small, round water droplets hanging from their leaves. And, the dew containing the glow of the sunset encompassed the entire meadow. It was truly a beautiful scenery.
Strictly speaking, the road from Mule to the east was completely unexplored and had an ambiguous feel. To the west is a pitch-black forest, and to the north is a wasteland. However, the road we were currently walking on was halfway between the road connecting the eastern city and an area that could be classified as unexplored. Although not many users usually visit, there are probably quite a few users who have explored it.
“brother. “Are they all here?”
As I stood still, Ahn Hyeon seemed to be curious and spoke to me next to me. I shook my head and pointed my finger toward the endless horizon.
“no. Now all we have to do is get over this meadow. When you cross this meadow, a green mountain range appears. Then we can get to the point.”
“The Blue Mountains?”
“They say it’s called the Blue Mountains because there are a lot of blue-colored mountains gathered together when viewed from a distance. It’s marked that way on the map. And although it may not be completely decided yet, I heard that it is the dividing line between the small city of Mule and the unexplored area of the small city of Eden in the northeast.”
At my explanation, Ahn Hyeon nodded once or twice and then kept his mouth shut. Rather than saying he didn’t understand, he seemed to just accept it.
Anyway, I think I came to the right place. Still, I felt a little uneasy because I had explored
Everyone waiting behind them was silent. Perhaps because they had just fought a fierce battle with fourteen Stone Magoiles, everyone was in a bad state. Although I clearly felt like I wanted to rest, I decided to continue the march. If you leave this meadow, the green mountains are right in front of you. And it doesn’t take long to conquer the Screaming Cave. The faster you act now, the sooner you can get back to your Mule.
Having made up my mind, I quietly opened my mouth without looking back.
“It is time to camp, but we will continue the march. We also plan to hold an all-night march, so everyone, prepare well. I’m going to take a 20 minute break here now. If you have anything to repair, please finish it within these 20 minutes.”
Unexpectedly, not a single one of my companions followed my orders without complaint. Even if it was other users, the kids glanced at each other secretly and pressed their butts against the damp ground without hesitation.
Although the children may not have grown physically, it was difficult to say that they had grown significantly mentally. However, starting from this expedition (to be more precise, starting from the battle with the Radolovs), things were changing little by little. In the past, I took charge of most battles, but in recent battles, I was handing out at least one person’s share. At first, they seemed awkward, but soon after confirming that their current skills were of some use to the monsters, many thoughts must have occurred to them. In other words, they were no longer new users.
Plus, there’s a subtle rivalry. I couldn’t help but smile at the thought that if I continue to grow like this, I will have turned into a much more useful user when I leave Mule. I sat down and took out a cigar from my pocket. Sometimes, Ha-yeon Jeong said it was not good for her health and begged her to quit, but she would never say that.
Cheeik. Chi profit.
“Whoa.”
Still, the caravan seemed even busier, as everyone seemed to be distracted by the news that they were going to march at night. They say moving at night is crazy, but honestly, in such an open grassland, it could be seen as the same thing. And considering that the frequency of monsters appearing became more frequent as we went, even if we camped now, it was a long way to have a peaceful morning tomorrow.
It was like that just yesterday morning. At that time, we were sleeping in the mountains, and we were attacked by monsters for the first time. Although the attacking monsters were mountain goblins, and they were destroyed by the alarm and trap magic that the three wizards put a lot of effort into installing, the important thing was that they were attacked at night anyway. (As an aside, Ansol and Vivien, who were on watch, were They were leaning against each other and sleeping peacefully.)
The grasslands are so open that the effectiveness of boundary magic using the terrain, like in the mountains, is greatly reduced. Also, if it’s goblins, it might be okay, but if Magoyle or accelerated Radolovs come in droves, you could be in quite a difficult situation. So, in order to arrive quickly and avoid trouble, they decided to march at night.
When I was about to burn off the first car, I could feel someone creeping up behind me. Soon, there was a crunching sound of grass being crushed and at the same time a small weight pressing against my back. The user, or rather the resident, who had the back of his neck on my shoulder, spoke to me in a slightly drowsy voice.
“Kim Soohyun. “I want to ask you something.”
“ask.”
“really? thank you. “Then let me ask.”
“Should I be thankful…?” hey. “If it bites you on the shoulder, you die.”
Vivian, who was biting my shoulder with her mouth wide open, closed her mouth with a sound of teeth chattering at my threat. I lightly lifted my finger and flicked her shaved forehead, and she twisted her body around with her face begging for more spanking. I immediately regretted hitting her.
After arguing for a while, Vivien finally opened her mouth in a serious voice.
“The bag was too heavy.”
“… … .”
“So I checked the contents, and there was a corner full of equipment I’d never seen before.”
At her question, I turned my head for a moment and looked at the kids. Ahn Hyun was massaging her own legs, and Yu-jeong was playing with catching her throwing scruples. Ansol was next to Anhyeon, smoothing her feet as she whimpered. After checking them, I answered in a low voice.
“It had a tail.”
“when? where? And how did you do it?”
“In terms of days, it was three days ago. When sleeping in the mountains. “I killed them all.”
“Hmm. I see I never dreamed. “But why did you put so much in my bag?”
“Because I didn’t want the kids to know.”
“Hey. To cherish and protect?”
“no.”
I categorically denied it. My words had a different meaning. Right now, my immature mind is changing and settling down, and I didn’t want to let unnecessary variables get in the way. It’s not that I haven’t tried killing people, but in the case of Ansol, for example, there was a risk that I might be a little shaken. I continued, throwing the burned tobacco away.
“I’m doing well right now, but I’m trying to create a new variable. Because they are kids who don’t know where things will go if they make even the slightest mistake. And you might not realize it, but it’s only been two months since they’ve been truly whole plain. We’ve seen a taste of it before, so monsters are enough for now. Too much is not good. They are also the ones who can’t handle it all in the first place. And above all… .”
Vivien tilted her head as if she couldn’t understand everything I was saying. Since it was mostly just talking to myself anyway, I didn’t mind at all. Before I knew it, it seemed like 20 minutes had passed since I took a break. I pushed Vivian, who was leaning on my back, then lifted his body up and opened his mouth.
“anyway… Sooner or later, I’m going to kill you to my heart’s content. User or vagabond. “Sooner or later.”

As if to prove that my worries were unfounded, there were no obstacles to our night march. Today is the long-awaited 10th day. Because I had shouted at Go Yeon-ju, I maintained a very fast marching speed. As a result, I was able to achieve my goal of crossing the grassland.
When I saw the towering blue peaks in the distance, I could sigh in relief. The majestic mountain ranges in front of me were emitting a beautiful blue color as if they were submerged in the middle of the sea. I remember seeing it a few times, so I was shocked, but the kids seeing it for the first time were mesmerized by its beauty for a moment, and then I could hear footsteps following me in a hurry.
Suddenly, the companions said nothing. Everyone seemed to be feeling extreme fatigue. The aftermath of the forced march was inevitable. Even Jeong Ha-yeon had a tired look on her face. Entering the “Cave of Screams” like this would be tantamount to suicide, so she decided to sit down and take a break. Of course, even so, the priority was to get to the area around the mountain range.
The tedious journey continued like this for about 40 minutes, and we were finally able to reach the vicinity of the mountain range. From then on, I slowed down my marching pace a little, and eventually I was able to stop when the sea-like forest seemed within reach.
I walked all night, and before I knew it, the sun was peeking through the clouds. I looked up at the sky for a moment, nodded several times and opened my mouth.
“Thank you all for your hard work. The mountains you see right before your eyes are the Blue Mountains. I feel like going in right away, but it looks like some of my companions’ stamina is very low, so I’ll rest here. You can eat or sleep. and… High user performance. User Jeong Ha-yeon.”
The moment my words fell, I heard rustling sounds all around me. Of the two users who received my call, one approached me gently, and the other user approached me sloppily. After taking out the map, I looked at the girls approaching me and calmly opened my mouth.
“I’m going to take a look around for a moment. You have to find an entrance that matches the route you set. And in the meantime. “It may be inconvenient, but user Go Yeon-ju will take care of meal preparations, and user Jeong Ha-yeon will take charge of camping preparations.”
“I’m going with you too.”
“You’re going alone? “Wouldn’t it be dangerous?”
“no. “It’s enough on your own.”
Each question that came in was different, but they were all answered with one answer.
I immediately walked away, leaving behind the sullen and worried gazes of the two women. Once you can find the entrance, you will have already discovered
*
The entrance was easy to find. It’s not the same as it used to be. However, at that time, the huge trees clearly formed a twisted triangle in front of the entrance, and the bushes were spread out in a U shape on the left and right. I think I remembered it as something unique. The captain of the caravan who discovered the scene decided that this was not something to be overlooked and dragged them inside, and they were able to find the cave. Well, the guy who was in charge at that time ended up being killed by
Anyway, if I combined my memories of the direction the caravan had come from and the bushes and trees, it wasn’t that difficult to find the entrance. There was no need to use the third eye.
After roughly remembering the route, I returned and saw my companions already asleep. Strangely enough, Shin Sang-yong was on watch alone. From what I could see, he didn’t want anyone to stand, so it seemed good that he volunteered. He was holding on desperately, shaking his head back and forth as if his eyes kept closing.
I walked up to him quickly, placed my chin on his shoulder, and spoke to him.
“Just go in and get some shuteye.”
“Oh. leader. You’re here… haha. no. The captain leading the caravan must be more tired than us. Since I have decided to do this, I will continue to stand. Oh, and originally two people were supposed to stand, but user Go Yeon-ju assured them that the area was safe… .”
I really like every word you say. I forcefully pushed Shin Sang-yong’s back and spoke in a pleasant voice.
“It’s morning anyway, so the number of users on alert is okay. Because visibility is secured. Anyway, let’s change shifts now. “You had a hard time marching at night.”
“B-but.”
Shin Sang-yong kept refusing, and in the end, when I got so annoyed, he finally showed up to get into the sleeping bag. He bowed his head deeply to me and pointed to the food that Go Yeon-ju had prepared. After answering that I would take care of it, he slowly looked around.

hello. This is Ro Yujin.
I want to write, “And we were able to arrive in front of the Screaming Cave.” But I can’t. 🙂
I hurt my finger while taking a shower today. I accidentally hit the thumb of my left hand with a razor blade. I was shaking it all off… . ㅜ.ㅠ I was confused for a while because I couldn’t stop the bleeding. Fortunately, my left thumb doesn’t really interfere with typing, but it still feels weird. ha ha ha.
P.S. Those who provided selections, recommendations, comments, and coupons. thank you. (__) Why did so many coupons come in today? Is it my illusion that I somehow hear an auditory hallucination telling me to quickly respond to Go Yeon-ju?!
