The Player Who Returned From The Apocalypse

Chapter 5

Hunter gates differ from regular gates in several ways.

The biggest difference among them was the number of monsters. The number of monsters that appeared in a normal F-grade gate was only about ten at best.

But Hunter Gate was different.

keep coming out

Until the survival time limit runs out.

really keep going.

“So that’s good.”

Whoops!

He stabbed and killed a wolf. It avoids the wolf’s most dangerous mouth and stabs it into the brain through the most fragile eye of its body.

There is no need to be afraid of the number. Rather, it is good because there are many

If you have the ability, you can raise a lot of levels here. The higher the risk, the greater the reward.

And now he had the ability to take that risk.

In addition to the status that I trained my body while exercising to become a hunter early, it was not difficult to add information about monsters and fighting skills I gained during Return.

In fact, the ‘Iron Wolf’ you just killed is also not an easy monster. Because the leather is as hard as steel, it was an enemy that an ordinary F-class hunter had to avoid.

However, thinking about it the other way around, they aim for a place without leather. It was a very risky method, but I have already experienced this risk many times. Sungjin now had that kind of courage.

“Still, it’s difficult if there are too many.”

There are monsters that act alone, and there are monsters that act as a group. For example, the representative monster of group action is a werewolf.

The wolves move as a family, and this monster was very similar.

Be careful not to be surrounded as there are many.

Fu-wook!

Deal with the Silver Wolf (Silver Wolf) that rushes.

I was extremely focused and hit the counter.

‘You have to move slowly.’

The number of increase was more than the number of silver wolves to be removed. It can be done to deal with it, but it was physically difficult to endure the quest time of 2 hours with this status.

Seong-jin, who made that decision, moved backwards, and then suddenly started to run. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Krre- Ker-Hung-

The silver wolves were waiting for their comrades to come and were wary of Seongjin.

As many of his people had already died, he was standing up close, but when Seong-jin suddenly started to run away, he seemed to be embarrassed.

But he soon catches up with him.

The wolf is an animal with a high affinity for family and brotherhood. Even their nemesis, a bear, would take revenge if they killed a family member.

This was also the case for the Silver Wolf belonging to the werewolf monster.

The guy they were trying to hunt suddenly ran away while hunting him in reverse. Of course, there was no option to ignore it.

“Follow me.”

soon catches up. A man could never be faster than a normal wolf. As time goes by and the rank rises, these wolves can be quickly overcome, but now they have a body similar to that of ordinary people. It was natural to catch up.

But you just have to move a little.

Aww-

Crumple-

wolf howl.

But the direction is different. It was not the cry of a silver wolf chasing from behind

Rather, it was a sound coming from the front.

“Are you here?”

Fu-wook!

Seongjin, who was running away, suddenly turned around and stabbed and killed the silver wolf in front of him. It was a kind of aggro management, so that he wouldn’t give up on him during the chase.

And after retrieving his sword, he quickly climbed up a suitable tree.

‘After all, climbing a tree is an experience.’

Although Seong-jin lived in the city, he often went down to the countryside to climb large trees.

He often used this experience to run away from places with trees like this when he was a low-level hunter.

Crumple-

Karung-

The silver wolves growled and stared at me from below.

Wolves cannot climb trees. Its large size was the problem. So tall trees were almost the only way to escape from the wolves.

You can’t be reassured though.

thud! thud!

The silver wolf slammed his large, hard body against a tree.

He picked as large a tree as he could, so he didn’t have to worry about it falling over, but he could not help but shake it.

It swayed so loudly that it could fall off a branch if even a little careless.

“Originally, enduring like this is the way to survive.”

The content of the survival quest at this gate is just to survive for 2 hours. Hopefully, you could have completed the quest this way.

But that’s why you can’t hunt properly. What he wants is to quickly level up by hunting a large number of monsters.

If I had just climbed up the tree to hold on, I wouldn’t have escaped this far.

gurgle-

Knock kung kung!

“Are you finally here?”

another wolf

Silver Wolf and other monsters. It has a much larger body and its fur is green, not silver.

It has a large tail and a more protruding jaw than other wolves, so whenever it growls, its teeth are very large and numerous.

“You’ve got the right guy.”

Alligator Wolf.

It was a monster called a crocodile wolf.

Although the number is small, it is a monster that has a rare experience that the body falls off the moment it is bitten by any monster because of its very high grip strength. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . A monster so powerful that it’s hard to see it as an ordinary F-grade.

But even after seeing this, Sungjin did not worry.

No, on the contrary, it was a huge boon.

Because it wasn’t themselves that they were wary of.

Crumple-

gully-

It was a silver wolf. It was the Silver Wolf, not himself, that the Alligator Wolf was wary of.

Just like other animals, each monster has its own area.

If it was an ordinary gate, there was no such distinction, but in this Hunter Gate, various monsters continue to appear. There is no convenient setting that all such monsters are mutually cooperative.

Everyone is an enemy and a competitor to each other.

It was a natural instinct to be on the lookout for when they invaded their respective domains. Of course, Seongjin also invaded the territory, but the impression was strong that this was a newly introduced prey.

Seongjin was so weak now that they felt that way.

– You chased your prey and drove it into someone else’s territory.

This must have been the situation that Alligator Wolf grasped. In this case, it was right to give up the food and return to the original territory. If this implicit rule is not followed, they will invade their territory every time.

However, Silver Wolf is in a position to avenge his comrades. It was a situation from which I could never back down. The two, unaware of these circumstances, cannot communicate differently from humans.

Conflicts only increase because they cannot make concessions.

And.

Whoops!

Kwajik!

Kagan!

This quickly turns into a fight.

“Fight well. Fight well.”

Sungjin watched the dog fight that took place with his existence from above. Two factions fighting for themselves.

If those two factions were both their enemies, there would be no more interesting fighting than this.

***

[ The battle has ended. ][ Summarize the hunting results. ][ You have acquired 1,500 hunting points. ][ You have acquired 14,500 experience points. ][ Level has risen by 14. ]

“Are you finally released?”

Seongjin said while watching the fight between the Silver Wolf and the Alligator Wolf on the tree.

If he captures the monster and the battle does not proceed for a while, the system determines that the battle is over.

And depending on the monsters caught during the battle, experience points and hunting points are given.

‘I gave quite a bit of experience and got quite a few points.’

No matter how low the level was, he rose to 14 levels at once.

It was not only because he entered the gate alone, but also because he hunted a lot. The silver wolf he had caught was enough to catch while traversing several normal gates.

But we cannot be satisfied here.

There was still plenty of time. The monsters fighting below were all experience points. I couldn’t help but intervene.

Of course, I have no intention of jumping right into danger.

“I got some hunting points, so I should buy some items. Shop.”

[ Calculate the hunting points you currently have. ][ 1,550 … The F-grade shop opens. ]

hunting point.

This is the currency used to buy items in the shops that exist in the Hunter system. It is given when you kill a monster or complete a quest, and the number of points the hunter has determines which shops are opened.

The higher the grade, the more expensive and better the store, and the lower the required points for selling the same item. Therefore, I tend to accumulate these points because it is advantageous to collect them and purchase them if possible, but now was the time to use them.

Seongjin looked at the list of items that overlapped in front of her eyes and searched for the necessary items with a familiar attitude without panicking.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

[ Silver Longbow : 500P ]

The most needed item right now.

This is an item that has been used frequently in the past. It is one of the most expensive items in the F-grade shop, but I did not intend to save it. After purchasing an item, he pulled out a silver longbow that was moved to his inventory and pulled the bowstring.

Then an arrow was automatically generated and caught on the bowstring.

‘It is definitely an item worth investing in.’

The wolf monsters below are already fighting as if they have forgotten their existence.

There were very few opportunities like this.

Seong-jin aimed accurately and set the bowstring.

Tung, Piing-

Whoops!

It hit the center of the chest of the alligator wolf located in the rear.

Unlike silver wolves, they have high attack power but not high defense, so arrows penetrated the skin.

“The zero point isn’t right yet.”

The previous experience was alive to some extent, so I hit it, but I couldn’t hit the head I was originally aiming for.

but it’s ok

There are still plenty of opportunities and targets to hit the zero point.

bumpy-

Whoops!

Move the bow little by little and repeat pulling and releasing the bow string in succession.

Each time the arrow was lodged in the body of the alligator wolf.

Tung, Piing-

Whoops!

And the last one went straight into the head.

“done.”

I got the zero point right. The targeted alligator wolf died instantly.

If the zero point was achieved, the only thing left to do was increase the number of prey.

“You have to strike a balance.”

Even if not, the insufficient number of alligator wolves decreased by one. So, the monster we need to catch from now on is the Silver Wolf.

Sungjin turned around. Towards the silver wolf exactly opposite the alligator wolf.

Then pull the bowstring, aim at one of the silver wolves, and release the bowstring.

Whoops!

Just like you hunted before.

The arrow pierced the silver wolf’s eye.
