Apocalypse Monster
Chapter 027: Overnight in the Forest
Ayumi and Erina walked over to Natan who was leaning against the tree trunk, then wiped away all the sweat that was blotting out the face.
Natan smiled faintly while getting this kind of treatment, but there was no special feeling. After all, the two of them were her little sisters whom she had cared for for for two years.
"I thank you, because you both cleaned my face. But ..." Natan was silent for a while as it was difficult to speak. "Janghan, press my face, denghan to .. race."
The two only chuckled smallly and did not stop playing Natan's face. Until a little annoyed, Natan began to reply pinching their cheeks together.
Natan stood up after getting enough rest and taught both Ayumi and Erina a lesson. He turned his head around, and opened up one of his abilities that could search for the existence of living beings within a radius of 100 meters from him. "There are no Horned Sword Batengs around, although there are some small animals like rabbits."
"Rabbit?!" Ayumi and Erina stood up, revealing glittering eyes explaining the attraction.
Natan raised next to her eyebrows looking at that expression. He knows both are very fond of rabbit animals, but rabbits here are not like in general, because it has the name Rabbit Fanged. "This is no ordinary rabbit, this rabbit can open its mouth as wide as possible, has large fangs and can swallow humans."
Ayumi and Erina were stunned, then lowered her head listlessly. They forget a little about the fact that the world has changed, and of course it will affect the animals that exist.
"It's only two o'clock in the afternoon, but we have to go to the middle of this strange land, and find a comfortable resting place. We might as well spend days here, considering how wide the place is."
The two stood up and walked behind Natan who was leading the way.
Natan turned her head to look at the sky, then turned her attention to the surrounding trees. "Let's cut down some trees, and make them into planks. We'll make a resting place on the tallest tree." He pointed his finger at the towering tree, which he saw while still on the cliff.
"Good."
The three begin to cut down trees all around, with Kuro keeping things down so that no animals interfere.
The trees here were huge, at least ten meters tall with a diameter of one meter. If there is a Wood Craftsman Job, it may be very easy to turn all tree trunks into long wood or planks.
In cutting down trees, Natan was unmitigated and cut down thousands of large trees. He did not care about nature here, as it would definitely return to how it was, or disappear after the Dungeon Tower was conquered.
Tens of minutes passed, everything had been completed, including making a wooden rod with its board once. With this they could build a house on a tree for a place to rest, and for nails, Ayumi could make it easily.
It is only necessary to put the iron seeds in the palm of the hand, then drain the Mana, and the iron seeds will change shape, like clay that can be changed into anything.
After they finished doing the work, they started running into the middle of the territory, and it only took a matter of minutes to get there.
Seen, a very large tree, three meters in diameter with a height of about thirty meters. Next to the tree there is a river that is quite swift and very clear, on the edge of the river there is also a large stone that is suitable for seating.
Nathan lifted his head to look at the highest part of the tree. "The branches of the tree look sturdy, and blooming, very suitable for building a house ..."
Nathan turned his attention to the bottom of the tree. "We can't rest below, considering that the monster being fought is a bull that has high speed, especially the horn is a sword."
"Let's go up." Natan jumped from his spot, going towards the branch that was almost at the top of the tree.
For Ayumi and Erina, they jump with the help of Kuro.
Without lingering any longer, Natan began to work to build a resting place. He put some logs that had been made like those in the building shop, then attached them to the tree branches with nails.
It didn't take long to make it, it only took half an hour and had already finished building a 100 meter² wooden floor surrounding the tree trunk.
"You two please put a tent or tarp on the top, we can't really build a house." Nathan gives orders to Ayumi and Erina, before he goes to the top of the tree.
Nathan, who was already at the top of the tree, looked north, knowing it was north because the Sun was beginning to descend to his left. When he saw what was there, he could not hide his shock towards the bull monster he saw.
Two hundreds of meters away from the huge tree towards the north, there was a vast expanse of grass and looked at dozens of Horned Sword Bulls, which were as big as trucks.
"Fortunately, their Heatlh was not too much, although the attack inflicted was certainly very terrible, considering their highest STR reached five hundred Points."
Nathan took out the rope and tied it to his waist and tree trunk, then he took out Sako TRG to shoot the Horned Bull Sword from afar. If he could kill him with a single shot, then he would finish off all his bulls today as well.
Seven Mana bullets shot out like a flash of light that was extremely fast, aiming at one of the biggest bulls that had the strongest attack, but the least blood, not up to 50,000 Points.
With a Mana Natan shot damage that reaches 88,200 per shot, of course, it can kill the monster easily, especially using Increase Shot which adds six additional bullets.
Bang out! Bang out! Bang out!
Nathan continued to shoot the Horned Bull Sword, until a dozen minutes had passed, he had already killed 68 bulls. There are only seven left to complete the mission.
"Republica, Erina. You two wait here, I'd like to take Item Drop for a moment."
"Good, Brother."
Natan untied her, and began to jump from one branch to another that was lower than the current tree. To get to the expanse of grass, it only takes a matter of seconds.
A lot of fresh red meat was lying on top of the grass, along with a huge bone in the middle of its flesh, unlike before which there were no bones. Just looking at it, it was really like the meat that was on the game.
[Horn Sword Lv.100]
[Steel blade made of Horned Bull Sword horn]
[+10 STR, %10 STR, +10 DEX]
[Bull Meat 10 Kg (R)]
[High quality meat that can only be found from certain monsters, and has a level of over 100]
[Recovery Health 5000/m and Mana Recovery 500/m]
Natan was satisfied with his income, not just the sword and meat, he also obtained the skin, bones, as well as the Monster Core from the Bull Horned Sword Drop Item.
"I don't know where the other bulls are, maybe they're there." Natan saw another forest that was across, a forest that was not too big but looks quite high waterfall.
"But, even though we managed to kill all the monsters, I don't want to quickly leave before taking all the resources here. Herbs, fruits, fish, rabbits, vegetables, and so on ..."
"Then for the next floor, I hope we arrive at the rice fields, which have a lot of rice and wheat."
Nathan put all the Drop Items he got into the Inventory Guild, as there the storage slots were more numerous and easy to upgrade. He who was still walking on the grass gave Ayumi a message to cook their dinner.
Natan went around looking for plants in the expanse of grass, whether the grass that looks strange or the flowers that are there. He took whatever could be read through Appraisal, and let Erina develop her Alchemical abilities.
"That's enough." Natan stood up from a crouching position while ruffled waist many times, trying to eliminate the sore on the spine.
Natan turned at her high speed towards the central tree. "It's getting late, and I have to go back to eat. I haven't seen the reward for killing the King Lizardman, nor have I asked Major Arief ..."
Natan paused for a moment, then continued his words, "Seeing from his level, it seems like he is depressed and getting punished for my actions there."
Although he was very dislike the attitude of Major Arief who let Ayumi hurt, but because Major Arief also he could use firearms. However, he did not wish to invite her to join the Armonia Guild.
He already had one candidate to join the fifth member of the Armonia Guild, it was Master B.K when he was in junior high school, and that Master had to move because of continuing his education.
"I should have studied psychology. That's the right field for now. In any case, I plan to open the guild members' reception."
