Chapter 11: It's A Curse (2)

******

[You have entered a dangerous area.]

The group passed a clear barrier and entered the full-fledged darkness. The air inside the curtain was sticky from the humidity.

"Reduce the light."

Yoo Sangah immediate covered the flashlight. Since this model didn't have a light control function, she had to adjust the light with her hand.

"This..."

The light shone at the ground. Torn bodies could be seen everywhere. The bodies of those who tried to move through here were scattered at their feet. It seems like a lot of people failed to pass the tunnel.

"How horrible."

Cale muttered under his breath. It wasn't only the bodies of humans on the ground. There was something the size of a fully-grown wolf. The bodies of mole-like creatures were scattered all over the place. Indeed, it was a horrible sight. But this was a sight that he had seen before. Only Han Myungoh shook as he looked at bodies, the rest was calm, with not the slightest bit of fear on their face.

'What's there to get scared about, I'm surrounded by strong individuals.'

Except for Han Myungoh, this group was full of strong individuals. That is why Cale doesn't need to worry about dying at all.

"...That Yoo Joonghyuk, he's a scary guy."

That was what Alberu thought as he looked at the scattered bodies, specifically the bodies of the monsters.

The 9th grade underground species, the ground rat. It was a name reminiscent of bug on Earth, but a name was just a name. They were underground piranhas. The ground rats were persistent hunters who burrowed through the ground in groups and aimed at their prey. However, the ground rats collapsed like they had received a bombardment.

He was sure that Yoo Joonghyuk must've done this. Kim Namwoon was a good fighter, but this is just on another level.

"Alberu-nim, do you think we're finally on par?"

"Hmm.. No, not yet. He's still stronger than you, Choi Han."

"...I will get stronger."

"You're almost there. You just need to raise your stats a bit more, then you can probably take him on after that."

Cale couldn't believe his ears. He was the only one who can hear their conversation. Did he actually heard it right? Is Choi Han really that strong?

"If only I can use my aura properly..."

"Don't worry about it."

The group came to a stop at Kim Dokja's order. He was looking at the monster corpses.

"Dokja-ssi, can we use this for food?"

"We can take these back to the station. But first, we have to hunt for ourselves."

"...Well, it is kind of uncomfortable. Are we cooking it once we get back?"

"Hmm. Yeah, I think it's better to just cook it once we get back."

They needed a special fire to cook it. He turned his head towards Jung Heewon.

"Heewon-ssi, you said you were good at kendo?"

"Uh, it is a bit much to say I am good...but what are you doing now?"

Kim Dokja stabbed the body of the ground rat and started to cut it with a knife. He didn't know when he read it in the novel but it didn't go as well as he thought. After somehow getting rid of the tough skin, he managed to remove the spine bones. This was the first time so he left many scratches, but it was usable. After cutting the cartilage leading to the leg and shaping it, the bone actually took the shape of a knife. He gave it to Jung Heewon.
