Return To Level Up

Chapter 14

Hajin Kang stood in front of a huge tree and was immersed in thought.

It wasn’t just wood, it was made of rock. A closer look reveals that it was originally just a tree and then petrified.

It must have been that the environment of this dungeon had been affected for a long time by the magical powers and it had changed like this.

The problem was that I came to this tree, but I didn’t know how to get the skill from here.

No, I don’t know at all. Because there was a saying that Ji Chang-gi was proud of.

He said he ate the fruit of the tree. But there were no fruits on this tree.

It used to be a tree, but it turned into stone, and there is no way that fruit can grow there.

I checked to see if there was any stone fruit, but there was none.

There were only huge trunks and countless branches. There were not even leaves.

I searched through the trees, but found nothing.

Ha-jin Kang recalled the words Ji Chang-ki had been talking about once again from her memory and stammered them carefully.

‘Once I explained how terrifying a rock lizard is…’

Then, starting with the weakness of the rock lizard, the strategy was detailed. Ha-jin Kang was the only person who listened to it all because of his arrogance.

Before the return, Ha-jin Kang was the team coordinator, and he had an obligation to listen to the team members.

She said, ‘He got his skills from this tree, and he said he couldn’t stop eating the fruit the moment he saw it.’

She said that she ate the fruit as if possessed by something.

‘Then, are there any other conditions for the fruit to appear?’

It was probably like that.

As Ha-jin Kang was thinking for a long time, the tree began to vibrate softly.

“Well?”

Kang Ha-jin was startled and looked up at the tree again. Obviously the trees were shaking. And the rocks surrounding the surface fell off.

As the rock fell, to our surprise, a healthy tree appeared from within.

‘Are you sure it was all rock inside?’

Even without breaking it or cutting it, I could see the extent of it. This tree was apparently made entirely of rock.

‘It seems that not only magical powers but other powers are also moving.’

It was still difficult to detect a force higher than magical power, but if it moved so violently, no matter how dull it was, it had to be noticed.

Ha-jin Kang somehow thought that that higher-order power should be the goal he should have in the future.

In any case, the tree from which the rock was completely removed gave off a tremendous amount of vitality.

And that vitality was combined with some higher-order power and began to come together.

And one fruit opened on the lowest branch.

It was the result of absorbing the magic of this dungeon to the fullest. So, how much power do you have?

“That is the fruit. But why did you suddenly appear?”

Come to think of it, the chisel was said to be a tree, not a rock made of wood.

It didn’t seem like the guy who wanted to put up anything because of his inferiority complex at the time would have hidden such a great spectacle.

‘So Ji Chang-gi didn’t see this scene. The conditions met while he was doing something. This he discovered later.’

Now it seemed that the angler was a little bit off.

If so, what are the conditions?

– Kyaaaaaaah!

A sharp scream shook the dungeon. Hajin Kang knew where that sound was coming from.

“It was the boss.”

It seems that the condition for the generation of the fruit was probably the appearance of the boss. No, it was clear.

Kang Ha-jin first checked the information by peeking before picking the fruit.

[Essence of Life][The essence of the tree of life, condensed by collecting the life force and magical power of the world over a period of more than 3,000 years. It draws greed from living beings. You can get the skill ‘Strong Body’ when taking it.][Seal]

‘Strong body’ was Ji Chang-gi’s signature skill. And it was the skill that made him a dealer and a tanker.

And I could see why Ji Chang-gi ate it like he was possessed.

Because Ha-jin Kang almost ate the fruit the moment he saw it for the first time.

He picked the fruit once. And it was stored in a space.

The unopened seal bothered me. Perhaps the lancer could not break that seal. No, he would not have even known the existence of the seal.

That’s the kind of information you can’t find out without a peek skill.

And to check item information, emotion skills are essential, but so far, the number of people with emotion skills has only been around 20 people in the world.

Moreover, without the complex emotion skill, the details of the item could not be seen.

‘How do I unlock the seal?’

Hajin Kang’s troubles didn’t last long.

– Kyaaaaah!

The screams from the boss of the dungeon got very close. It was clear he was coming this way.

Hajin Kang hid himself for once.

After a while, a giant serpent made of rocks all over her body came crashing down on her.

And around the serpent, the Jianggi gang were using their attack skills hard.

The serpent was only moving recklessly while being hit with an attack skill.

The goal was the tree of life.

And the moment the serpent placed the tree of life within walking distance, the ground suddenly collapsed.

Whoops!

It was a trap prepared by the Tree of Life. It was a fairly deep pit, and rock worms struggled in it.

Whoops!

Of course, you won’t be able to hold it for long. Eventually, the serpent will come up and devour the tree of life.

Ha-jin Kang hid and watched the scene before he could see how Ji Chang-gi ate the essence of life.

Since the serpent fell into a trap like that, there was an opportunity to be possessed by the essence of life.

After eating it, he would have easily caught the rock serpent with the skill he had.

But now things are different from back then.

“This is your chance! Hit me with the strongest thing!”

A powerful skill poured into the pit at the command of the spearman.

Most of the skills could not be used carelessly because of the long preparation time. But one thing was certain.

Kwagwagwagwagwang!

Hajin Kang went a little closer and checked the information on the rock serpent.

[Rock Serpent][A serpent that became one with the rock while replenishing the dried up vitality with the magical power embedded in the rock. always thirsty for vitality I have a ‘longing for life’ in my body.]

‘Craving for life?’

[Craving for life][Crystal formed by the greed for life that the rock serpent has collected for 3,000 years. It is the only material that can break the shell of life overlaid on the essence of life. When the rock serpent dies, it disappears.]

‘This was it.’

The peek skill was really great. Once the information was confirmed, it was possible to search for new information through keywords in it. like now

Anyway, I have now found a way to break the seal of the essence of life.

The problem was that in order to do that, the rock constrictor had to cling to it and extract its crystals before it died.

It was never easy.

‘And of course you will be caught.’

Meanwhile, the rock serpent’s body was becoming torn apart.

He won’t die for a while because he’s so big and strong, but it didn’t seem easy to get out of that pit again.

‘Then… I have to create a variable.’

Hajin Kang quietly left the place.

* * *

“Almost done. Just a little bit more strength!”

Ji Chang-ki cried out like that and restored her magical power. To restore magic power, you have to drink a potion or wait for the magic power to recover naturally.

Or use the magic recovery skill.

Because the lancer had the skill, the speed of mana recovery was faster than that of others.

The rock serpent is now cracked and cracked, so every time it moves, it falls out of stone.

While recovering his magical power and preparing for the next skill, Ji Chang-gi suddenly opened his eyes wide and lifted his head.

“Well? What is this sound?”

“Sound? I can’t hear it.”

The subordinate, who was recovering his magic power next to him, looked at the chivalry with a puzzled expression.

“No, listen carefully.”

Listening to him, his subordinate also nodded.

“It sounds like something… rolling a stone.”(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

Gugugugugugu.

“exactly······.”

Ji Chang-gi nodded his head, and his expression hardened.

“Damn it!”

Ji Chang-gi’s face turned white. I realized the true nature of this sound.

“It’s a lizard!”

“Yes? Have you not cleaned up the lizards around here?”

arranged However, not all lizards in this dungeon were dealt with.

If you include those who are still hiding everywhere, the number will be quite large.

The original plan was to clean up all the lizards and then attack the boss step by step, but today the boss suddenly woke up and I couldn’t do that.

“Damn it, it’s messy. Should I be good? Why is this not happening these days?”

“How are you, brother?”

“What, what, how! Let go of that serpent and clean up the lizard first.”

“Yes. I see, brother.”

The number of rock lizards running was seven. It was not an easy number, but there was nothing that could not be dealt with.

Because you know your weaknesses for sure.

“Come on, everyone, calm down! There’s no rush, so let’s go safely, okay?”

“Yes, brother!”

Ji Chang-gi flew away as he listened to the replies of his men.

He twisted his body to the square of the rock lizard that ran in front of him, and drew his sword.

Awkward!

The lizard’s side exploded. The lizard then sticks out its tongue to gather visual information.

The man who was moving close to Ji Chang-gi cut off the tongue.

The rock lizard began to riot.

However, it wasn’t very difficult to deal with the rock lizard that couldn’t gather visual information.

Other lizards came.

His teammates, including Ji Chang-gi, properly focused on the upcoming fight.

And that’s why I didn’t see it.

Hajin Kang slips into a pit with a rock serpent.
