Stuck in The Tower - Chapter 387
Chapter 387 Poster
The outskirts of the World Forest. It is not difficult to recognize the boundaries of the World Forest.
[Escaped from the World Forest.]
[Escaped from the influence of the Demonic Realm.]
Kindly informs you. Rangers and mobile strike teams also conduct reconnaissance from this area.
I don’t know how it looks from the outside, but from the inside, the space is subtly distorted starting from the boundary.
A device to prevent invasion by outsiders under the protection of the World Tree.
The moment we leave there, our mission begins and we cannot receive the support of the World Forest. Elves and druids do not leave the World Forest.
According to the map that Whika and Miffy prepared, there are traces of old roads on this road.
If you go through it, you will be able to reach one of the human strongholds.
“Where is the road?”
“Traces, nabal, nothing?”
A question from Nyanpun and Lick. There was no one to answer.
i can’t see The hair loss man also looked around with his head drawn, but the road is full of some kind of grass and trees.
I tried sweeping the floor just in case…
“It’s just a dirt floor.”
There were no stones or other structures that would have been used to build the road.
Compared to the demonic world, compared to the ordinary World Forest, it is full of small trees.
Even if you leave the World Forest, the environment does not change dramatically. After all, it is an extension of the forest.
“Didn’t I give you the wrong directions?”
“That’s probably not it. The inside of the World Forest has moved accordingly.”
Maybe it’s because he was from a special rental unit, so you can trust it because it’s said by a hair loss man who has a good understanding of map reading.
In conclusion…
“It’s too much time.”
“A sign that there may have been in the past, but not now.”
This is it.
road name? there must have been In the past.
Decades have passed since the World Forest was cut off from the outside world.
Under normal circumstances, traces of the road would have remained even if it had been neglected.
I don’t know if it’s a local trail, but if it’s called a road, the ground will be dug up, gravel laid, asphalt poured, or stones laid.
The problem is that this is not an ordinary world.
It is a place that is on the verge of destruction and even a place where countless battles have been fought to take over the World Forest.
That the road would have been destroyed by people, monsters, or something I don’t know about.
“Let’s move first. There may be traces left elsewhere.”
“That’s right.”
“be careful. Monsters and disasters will appear from here.”
As soon as you get out of the realm of the World Tree, the gate can explode anytime, anywhere.
You don’t know if monsters live in the forest.
Shuk. I rubbed the grass that grew irregularly with my fingertips.
changed in the middle. A place where a gate burst and the ecosystem was altered by its impact. We call it the Magic Land.
This side is already becoming a demonic realm. In other words…
‘It’s not a good environment for people to live in.’
If I had successfully blocked the gate, the demonization would not have progressed.
I know this well from my experience working in the Second Heaven.
-Kreurreur
“There’s already a guest.”
“Garat hair loss man! Get rid of it!”
“Hair loss!”
The hair loss man runs vigorously at the instructions of the lick.
There is no sense of tension to be found. That would be too.
“Sequencing punch!”
-Quaaaaaang!
As long as this member moves, quite a few monsters can’t even be a threat.
look Wasn’t the head of the Big Mouse Frog, who had sniffed it for no reason, broken?
Still, at 4 stars, he’s called a pretty strong guy.
‘Right now, 4 stars is ridiculous.’
When I first entered the tower, I was stabbed and killed by a goblin. Nyangfun was also beaten by kobolds.
There was a time when they made a fuss about trying to tear off the scales of the fire horn dragon.
The moment I feel that I have become a lot stronger.
“uh? Gongbleble, isn’t that what it is?”
The hair loss man who was shaking off the bodily fluids on his hands picked up something.
black beads.
It didn’t come from the frog I just caught, it fell nearby.
“Ancient Essence?”
It’s something I know.
Ancient monsters encountered when catching ancient monsters before.
It came out when I caught them. I have a few too.
“Isn’t it that there was an ancient monster?”
“No way. Ancients and First Monsters can’t get out of the gate.”
I’m sure it’s what was written in the tip message.
that it is
“They said the people here cleared the gate with the Ancient Monsters.”
“They either spilled it or they died and dropped it.”
It means that there are people outside who have the ability to catch ancient monsters.
Not only is it as powerful as an ancient monster, but first monsters go beyond 6-star to 8-star monsters.
It is said that it is so powerful that it cannot even be compared to normal monsters.
‘If ancient monsters appeared, there is a possibility that a monster wave might have occurred.’
The monster wave I experienced in the 2nd Heaven was also the cause.
If it’s a monster wave, it’s understandable that the road is smashed. It’s not just the road that’s a problem, the base itself that was outside may have disappeared.
I walked slowly. Information here is still lacking.
Aside from monsters, people should be careful. Depending on the situation, people are scarier than monsters.
continued to enter. The trees gradually disappeared, signaling the end of the forest.
-Huh,
a little dry wind.
It is in contrast to the forest, which is always damp. The weeds that covered the floor also disappeared.
“Sand.”
The soil was mixed with sand.
When I dug with my hands, I felt sand inside. This means that the nature of the soil itself has changed.
“Are you making this?”
“Little hair loss man digging up dirt.”
“support. You don’t see things like that.”
The hair loss man also looked at the soil to see if I was the only one who had doubts.
It seems that spitting even tasted it. Sand in the salty taste.
maybe the sea?
oh that’s nonsense Can there be a sea as soon as you leave the forest?
It doesn’t make sense for a tree to grow like this in a place where fresh water is not salty.
Of course, this world tree might be salt-tolerant. Still…
“I don’t feel the fishy smell.”
“You can’t even hear the waves.”
A few other pieces of information were telling me that this wasn’t the sea.
“Hey, what is that? lake?”
As I passed through the trees and left the forest, I saw a wide open lake.
At first glance, it looked like a sea, but it was clear that it was a lake.
It was information that came in through authority rather than anything else.
[Traces of Disaster Aqua Slime]
– This is where the Aqua Slime of the Fishbowl City died.
– It covered the rock salt area and became a lake full of salt.
-Some of the effects of Aqua Slime remain.
– The water in the lake will neither rot nor diminish.
“It is said that the place where the disaster died. A large slime must have died in the rock salt digging area.”
“What a monster it must have been to create a lake of this size.”
Lick makes a tired expression.
That’s how it is. Isn’t Yi Myeong a fishing port city? Enough to devour a city.
‘Disaster to ancient monsters.’
All kinds of monsters appeared near the World Tree.
It seems that the people outside managed to catch it, but it must have been difficult to find a place in the area.
I don’t know when the battle took place, but it must have been a large-scale battle.
Why…..
“Oh, the terrain itself has changed. At this rate, a map near the lake would be meaningless.”
Because the map we received has changed its shape to such an extent that it has lost its meaning.
There should be a mountain over there, but the mountain went somewhere, only a hill remained, and the place where the forest road should have been connected became a lake.
scratched his head what should i do
According to the original plan, starting from the nearby base, they would have to infiltrate the human kingdom in the west and observe the dynamics, but it was a mess from the start.
The information the elves and druids gave us in the first place is too old.
What is this?
“You guys found something strange!”
Nyanfen, who was searching around, shakes something.
Maybe it was because it was near the water, but it was damp and the writing was blurry.
“Let’s get out of the collapsed world, come to the path of salvation?”
I was able to read the contents with my interpreting skills.
“Is it like pseudo-publicity material?”
“I think it was recent. If it was the old one, it wouldn’t be here. At least the paper is stiff.”
“At least it seems to be something that was sown after catching the disaster.”
Just in case, I looked around more and found several things like the poster that Nyanpun picked up.
Looking at the one in the best condition, on the back is written the way to salvation.
I compared the map drawn on the poster with the map I received from Hidden Garden.
“It is the western kingdom.”
“They are in the same direction.”
How is it?
Our purpose is to observe the dynamics of the outside world.
I thought I was going to spend quite a bit of time from the time I came out. Come back within a year, perhaps because it’s based on the standards of elves and druids, who have long lifespans.
Of course, I have no intention of going outside for a year. I don’t know if there’s a special reason, but I can’t spend time without any meaning.
Our world is already in a transitional period of destruction.
I narrowed my eyes and looked at the poster.
‘I was planning to look at the western kingdom starting with the base.’
This area is already undergoing demon hardening. In other words, the chances of people surviving are small.
I took a look at the hair loss man for guidance.
our location. western kingdom. Some of the points they entered during the last invasion.
I gestured to the members to sit down and spread out a map on the floor.
“Our location is here. As we move to the Western Kingdom, let’s check only a few places where we know they have strongholds.”
I took a pen from my treasure chest.
Circle where we are. Then, I marked the base of the humans that Hidden Garden told me about.
“The reliability of the map is low. You can’t trust all strongholds, only the ones that overlap with the ones the intruders entered last time.”
Snug. A triangle was added to the circle.
Where the location of the stronghold overlaps with the intrusion route. Many strongholds disappear from the list.
As a result, there are only 4 places left. Among them, there are two that span the western kingdom.
An arrow was drawn in the direction from where we were to the kingdom.
“Let’s check two places and go straight to the kingdom to find out the identity of this poster. Maybe this is important information.”
I looked at them for agreement.
“Well, it’s a little hard to trust this map and move.”
“There is nothing right. No matter what, the place where you can gather the most information is the kingdom.”
Limp and Nyanpun nodded. The hair loss man…..
“Well, there might be a new base in the middle, so let’s take a closer look at this line. There are several places on the map that could be used to set up camp. You will know the details by looking at the terrain yourself.”
A more detailed plan was drawn up.
Also special hire. The head rolls well this way. I wish it was like that when talking with the elves.
“To that.”
Deokchun, who sent a rare look of sympathy, looked at the hair loss man and sighed.
Anyway, since the plan was drawn up, all that was left was to move.
* * *
Desolate space.
The roads are a mess with the remains of collapsed buildings. A man gasped for breath in a place where traces of fire remained everywhere and did not feel alive.
“Cheup. Hoo-wook. Whoa.”
heart beating wildly. Although his arm was stabbed and blood was flowing, he swallowed dry saliva and looked around to see if he had time to feel the pain.
A place that must have once flourished. He was the only one standing among the buildings, which gave a glimpse of their grandeur despite being destroyed.
There are only a few people who have fallen around. The person who looked around without slowing down counted the number.
“…five six. all dead They’re all dead! Ha ha ha ha ha!”
Counting the number of corpses, he burst out laughing at the top of his voice.
A feeble madness in the eyes. As if congratulating him, applause rang out.
-clap clap clap
“Congratulations on proving your worth. Come join us.”
The one who showed up without a sign approached the man.
An entity whose face and gender are unknown by wearing a robe over a mask.
The man flinched for a moment, but it was only for a moment.
“Thank you!”
The man lowered his head and unfolded the crumpled poster and held it out to him.
