The Standard of Reincarnation Episode 60
Vincen found something in the grass.
As expected, it was much larger than an ordinary goblin.
“These are the footprints of a mutant goblin.”
“Oh, really?”
“Judging by the state of the grass, it seems like quite a long time has passed.”
“Can you even figure that out?”
“Basically, monsters have the property of absorbing life force.”
Compared to other grasses, grass that is stepped on by a monster dies quickly.
The grass where the footprints remained had turned yellow and dried.
“It takes at least two days to become this dry.”
This was not something I knew through study, but something I learned through experience.
Julian laughed and said, “Huh.”
-In the original tracking technique, the calculation is made based on the remaining moisture and the acidity of the soil. I’ll have to do the exact calculation to find out… … It will take about two days.
For Julian, it was a little unfair.
-I’m asking just in case. You didn’t calculate it, right?
‘Just feel it.’
-ha.
This was because Vincen was too efficient to just guess based on his intuition rather than the results based on data collection and accurate analysis.
‘Don’t be upset.’
At first glance, it seemed like I was just relying on my sixth sense to figure it out, but in reality, that wasn’t the case.
‘It’s something I’ve learned over the past 30 years.’
Vincen continued to follow the footsteps.
In Raven’s eyes, Vincenne was almost a gin.
His eyes sparkled even more.
“You really are a great guy. Thank you for teaching me a lot of know-how.”
I made a promise in my heart.
‘We must not forget this grace.’
Even small learning is learning.
That’s how he learned.
‘Is it really possible to track without tracking characteristics?’
It was surprising that the trail was uninterrupted.
* * *
The night was deep.
Before we knew it, Vincen and Raven had reached an unnamed deep mountain range.
The mountains here were rugged and there were no people to be found.
Of course, there was no such thing as clean accommodation.
“I’ll be the first to be on watch.”
“What are the shift times?”
“Four hours later.”
“okay. “I’ll sleep first.”
Raven nodded.
After taking out the sleeping bag, I fell into it within a second.
Vincen lit a bonfire.
By adding magic powder, a safe zone of low intensity was secured.
Low-level monsters will not be able to approach.
‘If it’s this much mountainous… … If we do well, there might even be a level 6 beast species living there.’
Julian sighed again and said.
-Level 6 beast species mutant trolls have been discovered several times.
‘Is that so?’
-Honestly, you already knew that, right?
‘I didn’t know.’
-Hey, you can be honest with me.
‘You’re mentally connected to me.’
-So that doesn’t make sense! I have no idea how to hit it, but it’s so accurate! This is a scam!
‘Can’t it be accurate?’
-It’s not like that. It has to be quite a bit. When did you learn tracking skills?
Modern drones spend time refining their characteristics.
Of course, there are also tracking-related features.
Rather than studying tracking techniques in depth, they focus on evolving their tracking characteristics.
In that respect, there were some similarities with modern martial artists.
‘I learned everything in my time.’
There were no guides specializing in tracking like there are now.
Back then, everyone should have studied basic tracking techniques.
-At that time, people said that a day had about 48 hours?
‘I’ve never thought about it like that.’
thinking about it,
‘It looks like you didn’t get much sleep.’

-Learning martial arts is hard, but how much sleep do you have to lose to learn miscellaneous skills on top of that?
One more thing came to mind.
When I thought about it again, there was something else that was different between then and now.
‘So it seems like the average lifespan was much shorter than it is now.’
The average lifespan was much shorter and there were many premature deaths.
Looking back, it seemed like it was a barbaric and ignorant era, as Vincen said.
At that time, everyone lived that way and I didn’t feel anything strange.
-oh my god.
‘But once they survived, they would reach extreme proportions.’
So in the old days, there were many polar opposites.
Succeed or die.
The middle layer was not as thick as it is now.
-Brother, brother, please don’t do that. Please save that body. Okay?
‘Let me think about it.’
-We must obtain the heavenly fruit and recover our bodies, and we must follow the legacy of our ancestors, no, the first family lord, and surpass the Samion level. That is definitely the case. Okay?
Vincen burst out laughing.
Julian’s feelings of urgency were conveyed here.
Some time passed.
-It’s been exactly 4 hours… … .
“Now it’s my turn!”
-Wow, what a surprise!
Raven woke up exactly without warning.
He stood in front of Vincen with a machine-like attitude, and Vincen entered the sleeping bag.
Around the time the morning sun rose and began to illuminate the surroundings.
Vincen and Raven began tracking the mutant goblin again.
Vincen found the teeth marks of a mutated goblin carved into a tree.
“It seems like the distance has been narrowed quite a bit.”
Day 3 of tracking.
Vincen steadily narrowed the distance between him and the mutant goblin.
Without tracking characteristics, it followed in the right direction by setting its direction based on footprints, traces of defecation, and dead bodies of nearby wild animals.
“Did you find out anything else?”
“He’s hungry now.”
You can tell by looking at the teeth marks.
When mutant goblins are hungry, they bite trees and even eat insects that live inside the tree bark.
In the process, marks remain.
“Hungry mutant goblins become ferocious. “This is especially true since he has the power to prey.”
“What does that mean for us?”
Vincen pointed to a place with his finger.
There were traces of a slightly different form than the teeth marks of a mutant goblin.
“What is this?”
“Traces left by a species of wild beast in the form of a quadruped.”
I was about to say ‘I presume’, but Julian interrupted me.
-There is a high probability that it is a blue-an white tiger.
When Vincen specified the clue as ‘a species of wild beast in the form of a four-legged beast,’ Julian deduced based on that.
-Tree species. The height of the mark, the size of the claw, and the depth of the wound. And it is said that the claws of the blue-eyed white tiger have a unique smell.
However, I couldn’t tell exactly what it smelled like after seeing it in a book.
Vincen smelled it.
“It’s a blue-eyed white tiger.”
“Blue-eyed white tiger?”
“This place has the unique scent of Cheongan White Tiger. “The smell of the beast.”
“… … “I can feel that too.”
Raven also got closer and smelled it, but didn’t notice much of it.
Vincen shrugged his shoulders.
“Try directing mana toward your nose to activate your sense of smell.”
“I can’t do that.”
“It’s very basic?”
Vincen clicked his tongue inwardly.
‘Tsk. The destruction of imagery theory. ‘I can’t believe I don’t know how to do something so basic.’
On the other hand, Raven was greatly stimulated.
‘Starting today, I’m practicing too!’
Vincen looked around.
“Based on the traces, the Blue Eyed White Tiger and the Mutant Goblin passed by here around the same time. “The blue-eyed white tiger thinks of goblins as prey.”
“Are you saying that the blue-eyed white tiger is chasing the mutant goblin?”
“But the trail is too peaceful.”
That far away.
There was poop that was believed to have been left by a goblin.
Vincen stabbed the poop with a tree branch.
“It hasn’t hardened yet.”
Raven frowned.
The smell of poop was terrible.
“If the blue-eyed white tiger was chasing goblins because it thought it was prey, there should be traces of digging up this shit.”
He must have been sniffing and smelling it.
But the condition was very fine.
Raven was suddenly immersed in Vincen’s words.
“On the other hand, it seems like mutant goblins don’t think of blue-eyed white tigers as prey.”
“How do you come to that conclusion?”
“You saw traces of wild animals as you passed by.”
There were many dead bodies.
These were animals killed by mutant goblins.
“They didn’t eat tiger-type animals.”
It was especially like that.
Raven was impressed again.
“You’re amazing.”
I admitted it honestly.
“I saw the same thing and I didn’t know anything.”
“It’s strange that you didn’t eat the tiger form even though you were extremely hungry.”
Vincen walked a little further, following the footprints.
“Comparing their speeds, they should have met by this point.”
After passing through the forest, there was a vast field of reeds.
There was a field of reeds much taller than a person.
“But there are no signs of a fight.”
“I know.”
Raven also made the point.
“The situation is very contrived and strange, isn’t it?”
“okay.”
Vincen grinned.
“Do you think I look like a professional tracker?”
“huh.”
However, Vincennes was not a professional tracker.
He thought to himself that his skills were shabby compared to that of a ‘professional guide’.
Vincen was also slightly embarrassed by Raven’s firm answer, but he soon continued speaking.
“That can’t be possible. I’m not a professional tracker. But as if I were an expert tracker, I could read all the tracks. “It’s as if someone left traces on purpose.”
So that I can chase after you.
All traces were laid out in an easy-to-understand manner.
“It’s strange that the blue-eyed white tiger, which considers goblins as prey, did not attack the mutant goblin.”
also,
“It’s strange that there is suddenly a field of reeds in the deep forest where the trees have grown so tall.”
“Why is that strange?”
“that… … .”
In fact, even Vincen didn’t know the exact reason.
I felt a strange sense of discomfort through my intuition.
-I don’t know why it’s strange, right?
Julian explained further.
-Reeds grow in moist, sunny places. This is an environment where reeds cannot form colonies like this.
Raven was immersed in Vincen’s explanation, but soon came to her senses.
“Then this… … .”
“okay. “Someone lured us in.”
This was a trap.
Vincen took out a red lotus.
I aimed the red lotus towards the reed field.
“Who are you?”
Raven looked at the direction where the tip of Hongryeon’s sword was pointed.
He hadn’t felt anything until then, but now he knew.
When I was not aware of it, it was invisible, but now I have started to see it.
‘Vincen is right!’
There was someone in the reed field.
match! match! match
Applause was heard.
Someone emerged through the reeds.
“Amazing.”
It was a man with a bulging stomach.
Julian shouted.
-Um, uh, that guy! It’s Karbal, the man-eater!
