Survival Records of 3650 Days in the Otherworld

Chapter 32: Hunting novice

Monsters squealed and screamed in fear as they heard the gunshots, and the arrows pierced into a young one's skull.

A fully-grown, angry Odringo had jumped up to attack Joonbum. It wielded amazing power as it quickly closed the distance.

'It's coming.'

Joonbum calmly aimed and pulled the trigger. The shot was fired at the Odringo, blowing its head off. The headless body dropped to the ground.

"Ugh."

He felt his mouth become salty. His eyes were red and his heart pounded – he had never been his tense before. It felt like every part of his body down to his cells was stiff. He felt the adrenaline surge through him.

"Be careful!"

"Shoot calmly!"

Gunshots rang out and screams echoed throughout the area. The smell of gunpowder and blood was everywhere. It was a chaotic sight mixed with tense excitement and fear.

Joonbum moved more quickly. He reloaded his gun without a single error and glanced around eagerly. He was no longer a clumsy shooter. He now knew how to read the area and kept firing calmly.

Every shot fired meant a dead or wounded Odringo.

Doral smiled at Joonbum's skills. Joonbum just finished reloading again and shot another Odringo. Its shoulder and part of its head exploded, scattering blood and flesh around. The screaming continued as gunshots kept going off.

Then there was Galfus, howling from the distance that drove the Odringos away.

Some of them ran toward the forest, but they came back, only to be hunted down by arrows. The number of Odringos started waning as the shooting frenzy continued.

"Ugh, it stinks."

The thick smell of gunpowder pierced Doral's nose as he scowled, grabbing his nose. He then shouted while holding it.

"It's the cubs! It's almost over!"

Guns were fired at small the Odringos that came out of the bushes. The bloodied cubs writhed in pain as they bled to death on the ground. It was a terrible sight.

"Stop!"

Joonbum stopped at the sound and looked around. Howen carefully raised his hand. Joonbum breathed heavily, not being able to calm down as quickly.

"Let's clean up the area."

Joonbum tried to move as Howen spoke, but Doral stopped him. Doral shook his head while pointing to Joonbum's arm.

"Joonbum, don't let your guard down. They are monsters. Some of them are still alive. They can feign death and bite you."

"OH!"

Joonbum could not understand all of Doral's explanation but he was surprised to see a decapitated head of an Odringo still hanging onto his arm.

'When?'

It seemed it had been biting him throughout the battle. What was more surprising was that the eyes were moving, meaning that it was still alive without its body.

"They are persistent. You can get killed after thinking that you won. That's what monsters are."

Doral pointed at the warriors who walked down. They were using long spears to pierce every Odringo head lying on the ground. One out of three screamed or jumped to attack. They sure were persistent.

Joonbum took out a big knife and thrust it into the head biting into his arm.

"Stay dead," Joonbum muttered as he put the knife into the Odringo's eye. He felt the knife pushing through the brain as the Odringo's eye stopped moving and opened its jaws.
