HOBs: Amateur player | 14 |
Chp. 14 Level 0: Slime Field(Day 2).
Eric is now increasing his speed in hunting slime, seeing that Jeff is also not inferior they both compete with each other in killing many slimes. Evans who just watched from behind got nothing.
One forest was now successfully flattened by the three of them but still not satisfied with the score, they chose to split up and hunt slime alone.
Entering the night Jeff and Eric regroup, they see Evans who is preparing fish to burn them. Evans, who had finished piling up rocks and lighting fires, stabbed the fish's mouth with wood and planted them on the ground near the campfire.
The three of them were resting under a large, shady tree. Evans is still seen preparing all the fish he will burn and sees it Jeff then approached to help him.
Very different from Eric there, he was picking fish for her and looking for one that looked great for her.
"You help too." Jeff clapped Eric's head hard. The grimacing Eric started helping them.

That night the three of them rested and slept under a tree after finishing their meal.
The voices of those who were fighting were also occasionally heard in the silence of the night. Some players are still there to continue the hunt and some others prefer to rest.
[Billboards] also looks always unstable and fickle, every position on Billboards is not safe but continues to change positions.
Evans' group, who have finished hunting slimes in five places, all three reached double-digit rank and plan to rest to restore stamina and continue the hunt tomorrow.
"Ahh, hungry! There's no food here!" shouting Eric.
(Eric Wilfreed, Rank-68)
"So you ate the most fish." Jeff chimed in on Eric who was holding his stomach.
(Jeffrey Agler, Rank-58)
"Well, my stomach is still hungry." Evans with his stomach ringing.
(Evans Mallory, Rank-96)
Though they both eat fish in large quantities, especially Jeff also picked fruit and took it out of the inventory. But still ludes in ravenous both.
"Fruits are healthy but not filling." Said Eric.
"I'm going to sleep." Evans got up from his seat and looked for a comfortable spot.
"Hoam. Is the fire still not finished? How did captain Kopassus so long ago start a fire, instead of one of your exercises being left in the woods?" Eric yawns holding back the drowsiness and waits for warmth to await him.
On the other hand Jeff was all his might continuing to rub the stone to create sparks, "Why could He sleep in this state?" Jeff glanced at Evans who was taking a sleeping position.
"Oh, you don't have to take care of that monster. Even in water he can still sleep."
The night air was indeed very cold there, even Eric's body was always made to vibrate. Evans fell asleep soundly using his hands as a pillow and hugged his own body which was still wearing the school uniform.
Before going to bed Evans also stared at the night sky for quite a while. No one knows the meaning behind Evans' actions, which continued to stare at the sky until he fell asleep.
**
The next morning the Evans group found their free-falling ranks and now reach the hundreds. A panicked Jeff and Eric prepare to return to the hunt.
They came out of the forest with a bad feeling because along the way they did not find any slime.
Outside the forest, they looked at the expanse of green land at the beginning of the players coming. The three of them also looked around, there was not a single slime left there. Thousands of slimes seemed to disappear in just one day and left only a few slimes, even on the edge of the wall.
Eric and Jeff are confused to step in which direction can only hold their breath in contrast to Evans who immediately pointed to a place.
The 0th floor had the boundary of a wall soaring very high and without limits, even so the slime fields were very wide. Until within two days the players were still impossible to adventure around the entire slime field area.
Eric and Jeff just frowned looking at the place that is very far away, there is no guarantee also if there will be slime.
Evans didn't force them all to follow him either. Evans added that if there is not much time left, they should move now.
**
Eric is leading the front, they are moving in the direction Evans points out. On the way they met with some slimes but it was still not enough if they were aiming for a higher rank..
After half an hour of travel they did not see a slime even a single one.
The three are increasingly hesitant to continue the journey, but because it has been replaced Jeff who now stands and leads the way.
They also occasionally rest to replenish their energy and eat fruit from existing trees. They keep repeating this cycle until the sun is over their heads.
Eric and Jeff now look lethargic and lazy, they think if there is no hope anymore by his side.
Suddenly a group of players approached their resting place. They are seven young men, "May we come to rest, here?" Said one of the men there.
Evans who heard it just nodded while Jeff and Eric, both of whom were asleep and next to each other there, probably because of fatigue Eric did not realize if his saliva had dripped down Jeff.
Jeff just snored next to him, maybe he didn't sleep all night to keep Evans and Eric out of his black eye bags.
"You come back, there's nothing in front of us that we even regret having gone there." Said the man who saw Evans' group going to the same place as him and did not want the same mistake repeated to Evans.
Evans just kept quiet and listened. After the man had rested there long enough, they all resumed their journey and left Evans with two people sleeping behind him.
