Chapter 229: Tuition (5)
moonlit night.
Bikir quietly went outside the ecliptic.
Beside Bikir, Minpin was driving the wagon.
“I… … president. What monster are you trying to catch?”
Minpin, who had experienced Bikir’s strength and temper, was treating him very carefully.
It was for this reason that he personally responded to Bikir’s request to dispatch a guide.
If you go against the madman’s planting for no reason, you could lose a precious member of the guild, so you put on the gun yourself.
But Bikir didn’t care much about Minipin’s intentions.
“Even considering his status as an academy student, it’s not a very strange monster when you catch it a lot.”
“aha.”
At Bikir’s words, Minpin nodded.
Certainly, Bikir’s strength was unreasonable for a normal academy student.
‘Where on earth did this monster come from?’
Minpin let out a small sigh.
Meanwhile. Bikir was thinking a little differently from the side.
‘… … it’s a mini pin He’s one of the talented people I need to keep on my side.’
He is the best guide. When the age of destruction arrived, he was one of the heroes who made a great contribution to the Allied Forces of Humanity.
Most of the monster encyclopedias Bikir knew were made through his hands, and later, the research field called ‘monster ecogeography’ was also founded based on his research.
However, Minipin died early during the extermination battle with the demons, and the reason was that there was no specific background to support her.
A savage with no affiliation. What does that mean?
‘The person who picks it up first is the owner.’
In this life, Minpin’s lifespan will be extended much longer.
Because the Baskervilles, which Vikir will swallow up someday, will serve as his backing boat.
‘… … I was thinking of becoming a subordinate in the first place, so I showed some of my strength.’
Bikir gave a little test to the minipin, who would later rise to the ranks of heroes, and who would soon become his entourage.
“What kind of monsters are suitable for students to catch and have good income?”
“hmm. A monster that is not too strong and has a good income… … That’s just ‘Gnoll’.”
play. A grotesque monster with the head of a hyena and the body of a dwarf.
It is a low-level monster that walks on two legs and scatters dirty fur and stench.
These live in groups in the alpine areas outside the ecliptic, and they dug so many burrows underground that the ground collapsed, which was a big headache.
Not only is it very disturbing during civil engineering work, but it also attacks workers, so the danger is increasing.
As expected, Minpin had a lot of knowledge about monsters.
He generously imparted extensive knowledge about monsters called play to Vikir.
“Gnoll’s individual combat power is weak, so even an academy freshman can catch a lot of them. Also, surprisingly, the fur is not only tough and soft, but also has good warmth, so it is often used as a rug or cover. If you sell bones and internal organs as medicines, you can make money.”
“But isn’t selling them just as bad as catching a powerful large monster?”
“You don’t know! Gnolls are an ecosystem-disrupting species regulated by the imperial family. You get a bounty just for killing them.”
Then the story is different.
Not only does the killing itself give you a certain amount of reward, but if you can sell the skin, meat, and bones, killing two birds with one stone, the income will be quite good.
“so. How do you catch the knoll?”
“Ugh. Gnolls have a habit of collecting shiny things. The most common thing to do is to scatter something like glass beads to dazzle and kill… … .”
But Bikir shook his head.
“That’s the only way to use it when you’ve encountered a handful of gnolls.”
“Yeah, but I do.”
“I will use another method.”
“… … ?”
The method Bikir chose was simple.
“Gnolls are drawn to the fresh blood of freshly dead beasts. They have a good sense of smell, so they can smell and gather from several kilometers away.”
“you’re right. How well do you know Do the academies teach that kind of thing these days?”
What Bikir just said is something that only experienced hunters would know, so Minipin looked quite surprised.
Beings who are the first to entice a prey that is wounded and smells of blood in groups.
Like sharks in the sea, play plays such a role on land.
Bikir caught a wild boar, cut its throat, and dragged the carcass from place to place.
The blood soaked into the soil and the fishy smell spread throughout the forest on the night breeze.
Bikir roamed the mountain covered in boar’s hair and drops of blood.
Of course, Minpin, who had to follow him, was terrified.
“This, this is to stimulate the gnolls! It’s suicidal! Those individuals have only a C+ risk level, but when gathered in colonies, they go up to a maximum level A!”
It would be a sight that hunters do not want to imagine.
But Bikir just nodded with a nonchalant expression.
“Don’t worry. I’ll just lure you in and hide.”
At that, Minpin was a little relieved.
“Oh, are you hiding? thank god. Obviously, they lose their concentration when they’re feeding. Also, when food competition occurs between groups, weak individuals will surely fall behind, and then it will be easier to select weak ones that are easy to hunt. At that time, if you catch those who fell behind one by one… … .”
However, at Bikir’s words that followed, Minpin could not help but be frightened once more.
“No, chasing is the lead. We will chase where they lead their prey.”
“yes? why is that… … .”
“It’s just to figure out the location of the base’s lair.”
Bikir was targeting the entire colony, not just one or two gnolls.
Hunt for gnolls in colony units, which even the imperial subjugation army could not do.

Minipin half-opened her mouth at Bikir, who put it in her mouth so easily.
“Why, why do you do that… … ?”
And to such a mini pin, Bikir briefly said a word.
“It would be nice to earn a lot of money.”
* * *
Before long, a group of gnolls came and scattered the wild boar carcass.
They slit open the boar’s belly, scraped off the still steaming entrails, and dragged the rest along a low road through the thicket.
Bikir and Minpin followed quietly behind him.
Soon, they were able to find a large earthen cave hidden in the low hills.
Minpin climbed up a tall branch and looked around.
‘Do you really think this is going to happen?’
However, the visible scenery was proving once again that Bikir’s plan was hopeless.
A flock of gnolls swarming around.
Minpin was stunned when he saw the huge group of gnolls wandering around.
“president. This doesn’t seem like much. The size of the colony is considerable. All the gnolls who suffered from headaches in the imperial family were gathered here. If you carelessly touch a place like this, the knolls will flood the nearby village.”
Monster Wave.
If you make a mistake, there is a lot of room for committing the wrong of another person.
however.
“I’ll have to look for other cave entrances connected to this one.”
Bikir was still unconcerned.
Within hours, Bikir found several other burrow entrances, presumably connected to the first burrow.
Minipin admired Bikir’s skillful search skills, but still had no idea what he was going to do with all these gnolls.
at that time.
Bikir loaded up with mana and hit the dirt wall with his fist.
… Kwak! Rumble!
Piles of parched earth that made up the cliffs collapsed and blocked the entrances to several of the burrows.
Bikir smiled bitterly, recalling memories of popping champagne glasses at clubs in the past.
“Now move to the top burrow.”
Minifin drove the wagon towards the entrance of the cave at the top, following Bikir’s command.
Swish – Whoops!
Several gnolls rushed at them, but were decapitated by Minpin’s greatsword.
“president. What will you do now… … omg!?”
Minpin swallowed the wind.
Bikir took out all the items he had stored in the wagon.
It was just oil.
In the academy, which keeps all the remaining sabi, it bought all the waste oil that had been piled up to be thrown away at a low price, and is now pouring it here at the top of Noll’s nest.
gurgling gurgling… …
The bluish oil, salted from the fruit of the sabic tree, drips into the oyster.
keong kong-
Grrrrr… …
kiing?
A roaring sound could be heard from under the cave.
A few gnolls climb onto the burinake, but all are knocked back down the burrow by Minpin’s knife.
By the time dozens of oil barrels were empty, Bikir kicked all the remaining barrels into the cave.
and.
Roaring!
The torch he was holding was also thrown into the deep pit.
… Kwak!
A loud explosion sounded once.
At the same time, the flammable, low-boiling sabic tree oil began to heat up with a loud noise.
Washishishisik-Bujijijik-Pujik!
The sound of the knolls that have not yet escaped from the oyster being fried in oil is loud.
Boiling oil continued to flow down the oyster, and the knolls below could not escape and were being fried alive.
Gae-gaeng-yeah!
Kaeng!
Hey hey… …
The knolls in the upper floors are fried in oil, and even the knolls in the middle floors are choked to death by the smoke.
The gnolls on the lower level left the corpses of their comrades behind and tried to get out of the tunnel quickly.
However, most of the entrances to the burrows were already blocked by piles of dirt, so suffocation was inevitable.
Oxygen concentration drops rapidly and soot and odors rise.
Even the atmosphere became very hot, and those who survived were steamed to death at the entrance of the clogged earthen cave.
“… … ! … … ! … … !”
Minpin just keeps his mouth wide open.
It was the first time he had ever seen someone hunting colony-type monsters in this way.
However, Bikir maintained a calm attitude even in this situation.
“This raucous strategy is effective when scaring low-intelligence monsters.”
In fact, pouring boiling oil into the entrance of the oyster on the upper level has a strong performance character.
In reality, it couldn’t do much damage.
Its true purpose is to terrorize and confuse its prey.
… Awesome! … Poududeuk!
The burned gnolls squirm down the burrow in terror.
Because of this, young and small-sized nolls and old, slow-moving nolls are trampled to death by their peers.
It was common for them to bite and kill their comrades as they tried to pass each other through the narrow tunnel first.
When chaos ensues in a group, only the strongest and fastest survive.
And the survivors ran out towards the entrance of the cave on the lowest floor.
“… … Come out now.”
Towards the place where the last hound’s eyes were shining.
