The Origin of Species

“Hahaha.”

“Whew, that's tough. ”

“Oh, fuck. I need a weapon...”

The cold water washed over my body while I was breathing. I want to bow down to Marca, who introduced me to Shin Woo.

Past openings. I look at the dead man with his head on the floor. Fei said with a single expression.

“Heh heh heh! Are we rich now? ”

“Hey, no more weird imitations. Are your hands okay? ”

“Yes, brother. ”

Fei raises his fist. But unlike what he said, there is blood dripping.

“Can you stand it? ”

“Well, it hurts that much. ”

“Come here. ”

Fei's wound is from punching the wall with his fist. As long as the strength has increased, the strength of the skin is limited.

“First aid only, and when more wounds are inflicted, the condition changes. Okay?"

I put the gauze on and bandaged it. Pei clenches his fist several times and smiles widely.

“Thank you, brother. ”

“No, of course not. Come on! Join us there. ”

“I used to.”

When Faye pointed to the crewman and his sail, Pei ran toward him as well. Bonapas and Surins use fire and wind to cook and dismantle corpses.

‘Tsk, it will take some time to find the life chain. ’

At that moment, I kept hearing insults.

“Ha!"

“Fuck.”

“Dog...”

The owner of all these voices was a front. The dry white fur disappears, but the crucible's blood is all over your body.

“Oh, as soon as it's clean, what's it look like? ”

She stomps on the crucible of her heart, bursting and disgusting.

“Ugh, the fucking touch. ”

The round eyes move steadily. Then I met him right in the eye. I was also digging the heart of the crucible, so she reached out to the heart of the crucible instead of noticing it.

Squishy squeeze.

It's a little annoying to be late. When he was hunting, he lost his mind and killed a monster.

“Hey, aren't you straight? ”

“Ouch! That's not fair, sir. ”

“What?”

“Look over there. ”

There were Bonapas and Surins where the sailors pointed. When Bonapas support the heart with fire, Surin disassembles the heart with the wind.

“You don't even touch that place. ”

She looks the other way, too.

“Shinwoo didn't even touch me. ”

What? It was so lucky. Maybe it's a blessing to be able to work.

“Hey, look over there. ”

“Lindsey?”

Lindsey was indeed a degenerate person, except for the status exchange.

In combat, someone had to be protected, and even when looking for the life chain, they had to stand still.

The monster's heart is quite resilient, so a tool like a cutter knife is unlikely.

“Can't you see that? You're just getting blood on your hands. Ugh. I thought you said you were doing something. ”

“Oops, I'm sorry. Oh, there is. Life Chain.”

The sailor pulled out the life chain and vigorously looked back at Lindsey. I blushed slightly. I bit my lip and said,

“I'm not complaining anymore. Actually, I have a sense of self-esteem. Oh, this rabbit. ”

“There's no sense of self-esteem. Hey, we're hunting comfortably because of you. And you took down seven by yourself. ”

“Kuhaha. That's because you stopped the paralysis. ”

“Anyway! If you're late again, you're dead. ”

“Yes, sir. ”

She thumps her feet with another corpse.

‘Self-inflicted.'

Well, the stress of being a cultivator might be unimaginable. They say that their bodies and minds have changed so sensitively that they sense a crisis, and that they are insomnia.

But Lindsey was the one who felt the most self-esteem. You squat down and approach her, rummaging through the creature's corpse.

“sneakers. Why would I do that? ”

“Ah! I was wondering if you had a broken heart. ”

My eyes are shaking with a smile, but it's quite a pity.

“If it's any consolation, do it. You know that, right? You are the essence of our clan. Can't get on top of us without you. ”

“Yes! Hehe. Don't worry, I'm fine. ”

“Yes. Next time we hunt, let's get the right knife." ”

“Yep!"

If you like knives, you'll be fine with cardiac deconstruction. Then Lindsey won't even notice.

"Tsk, no one notices. ’

More importantly, Carl... as long as you're thinking about the weapon, the job is done. There were roughly eight life chains from 105 Togani. It's also the smallest, poorest grade 5! In the end, it's only eight days. The sum of what you get from the groove is only nine days.

“Erik. I thought you'd be rich. ”

Fei, who was dreaming of the rich for a moment, bows his head. But everyone knew this would happen anyway.

There was a chance.

The life chain coming out of the first tier was the ‘5th grade’. He also said it only came from a blacksmith monster called Sackard.

Monsters up to the fourth floor have heard from Shinwoo several times. Thanks to you, I know roughly what kind of monster has a life chain.

Besides, I know most monsters that exist up to the tenth floor, and some of them even have weaknesses.

“Check the time! ”

Shinwoo's brother was quite thorough. It's already time for earth deformation. As soon as the second hand pointed to 12 o'clock, another vibration rang out inside the tower.

We held each other's shoulders together again. When the earth deformity occurs, it is said that if it is unfortunate, it sometimes falls away from colleagues.

After the vibration, the collapsed passageway wall and scorched ceiling return to their original state. The heads of the mosses also naturally changed direction.

“We should go that way this time. ”

“No, Shinwoo. Can we get out of the tower later with this? ”

Su Rin said, his brother took off his hat and scratched his head.

“Haha, I guess. ”

“Ugh, I'm going to lose my mind. ”

“Don't worry too much. Mr. Surin, I think Clan will spend more than a year here anyway. Right?"

Shinwoo is right. I have no intention of leaving here until I gather the life chain to ascend to the mainland. It's a waste of time getting back and forth between the towers and the armpits, but we need to get to the camp as soon as possible.

First, the primary objective is to follow the strategy of the notebook. After you gather the bladders of the Akarina egg and Kore on the first floor, hunt down the second-class blacksmith, Quinanat.

Then, the objective is to hunt Homo Mantis, a three-story blacksmith, using the Quinanat he hunted.

Quinanat gives a four-phase (one-year) life chain, and Homo Mantis gives a three-phase (10-year) life chain. In a word, it's awesome for us.

According to the notebook, Akarina's egg was a virus mass. So even monsters in the Insect Tower never eat the eggs of the Akarina.

However, Kore's bladder bladder hides the smell of acarina eggs, so if you use them well, they can become a kind of biochemical weapon.

This was the key piece of information in the notebook, and only a handful of people knew about it, he said.

“Prosecutor Kim, just this is my house. Think of it this way."

“Oh, I like the other one. Food, really. ”

At Surin's words, the clans look back at the crucible bodies lying on the ground. It was clear that it was time for a meal after the earth deformity had just ended.

But no one can talk about eating. Even though we're done talking about how we're going to behave in the tower.

‘If you have come to Rome, you must follow the laws of Rome. ’

Food and hygiene. Both are considered to be the most uncomfortable parts of the tower. Hygiene was somewhat resolved by Shinwoo's brother, but not by food.

At least the clan was able to get water easily, so it was a good situation. And don't you have the power of fire? Bake anything on fire and it'll be worth it.

“Let's eat here. ”

“Yeah, let's do that. ”

Shinwoo's brother used the swirling water to remove the crucible's flesh. That narrows down the glances of the clan members.

Even though it looked like a shrimp, there's no way to resist the size of it.

And it stinks from the gut.

“But it's better than the groove. It looks like a shrimp. ”

According to Brother Sinwoo, everyone nods together.

Unfortunately, the only food in the tower is monsters. I couldn't carry the refrigerator, and I couldn't carry a heavy load.

Poor critics say the expiration date is a long jerky, but there is a limit to hunting for more than a year.

“It'll be worth it. ”

“You have to, you have to. Shinwoo.”

“Surin, you might be surprised. Bonaparte! ”

When Shinwoo's brother shouted, Bonapas made a flame. As the crucible begins to settle, his flesh begins to ripen.

Smells good. ’

It resembled the smell of grilling shrimp. However, Surin and the sailor narrowed their glabella due to interior cleaning.

“Whew, the smell. ”

“Oh, shit! ”

The wind howls. It was Shin Woo's brother who first took his hand on the crucible. Seeing that, Bonaparte also smiles.

There is no dessert. We took the heat and began to dig up the flesh with our hands.

‘Oh, that sucks. ’

The pain came before the taste, because there were so many wounds in my mouth. However, it is also inevitable because you need to have a bleed to use your powers.

“Prosecutor Kim. It's worth it. We have to eat it anyway. ”

“Phew, I hope so. ”

At that time, the sailor grabbed the flesh and put it right in his mouth. A serious look on your face at the moment. His face is full of regret and reflection.

Tears welled up around my eyes, but my fist swallowed tightly.

“Aye, you too! ”

A huge lump of flesh entered Lindsey's mouth. But she chewed and spit out a word.

“It's delicious."

At this point, I didn't realize her taste was unusual.

A day, two days. Over time, we adapted to the tower. The origins have systematically classified the monsters for effective combat.

Common, Soldier, Blacksmith, General, King. That's a total of 5 ratings.

However, considering the massive emissions, it would be much more effective for them to share the rank of monsters.

The most important measure for this rating is strength, but there was another.

It is the reason of monsters appearing in seven or more layers. Once there was a reason for monsters, they were called generals from then on.

But even Shin Woo's brother has never seen a general and a Caesar-level monster. Well, you can see more than seven floors, but you have to go up more than six floors.

We also encountered a first-class blacksmith, Sakard. His torso is roughly 10 meters long. It felt like there were 10 crucibles put together.

His jaw was slashed from his head to his chin, and his wings gave off a tremendous amount of pressure. The noise on the airstrip goes away, starting with the rattling.

But we had Surin.

The winged creature was vulnerable to the wind and was easily dealt with.

In fact, the biggest crisis was not the monster. The person was a problem, as it is written in the notebook. Especially since half of our clan were women, it seemed more likely.

How can anyone do this to me?

Most of them pass by with a sly glance, but eventually the incident happened.

“Hey, mister! 14 people!! These guys are aggressive. Jump quickly.”

“Battle stations!”

Midnight raid.

I whispered in silence to the clans.

“Stay sharp, everyone. ”

“Yes.”

“Look at the faces of the people next to you. The moment you hesitate, your colleague dies! ”

“I understand.”

Tension rises over the clan members' faces. I cut myself in sweat with my back. Maybe everyone in the clan does. But what can I do?

We're thins. They're thins. It is a destiny that cannot be denied.

As soon as the fourteen appeared, he shouted aloud.

“You've fallen into a trap!! Attack from behind 2nd platoon!! ”

Of course, there was no second platoon. There was no trap. But enough time to embarrass them for a while. I feel a little guilty today.

I chewed through a ball of flesh. The stench of blood rising.

Hunting time is over. From now on, it was time to kill.

Thanks for choosing, recommending, and commenting!

The penalty for severe felonies is that you only need to bleed to use your powers. So they keep hurting their mouths. I don't think I have enough to describe it.

nikumaimu/I haven't bought the weapons themselves because I don't have refined stones yet.
