Chapter 39

Chapter 39

Even coming again I felt I would be overwhelmed by the scenery.

Grasses tinged with faint yellow light and huge trees, and a night sky like a waterfall with stars engraved and a faint sun floating instead of the moon.

Amid the dreamy atmosphere wafting a cool wind approached and wrapped my face.

“Shall we go.”

“Going!”

For now I headed to the sparkle sparkle tree visible in front. Around the tree there existed a shallow forest but for now today’s goal was up to that forest.

“Mark Two, how is it? Do you think farming is possible here too?”

Undulate!

Nodding watching Mark Two who showed a positive gesture. Since there is winter I should look around the dungeon once this expedition and return and plant crops quickly.

“Oh! Long time!”

“What is that?”

While walking hard Ara discovered something and showed me.

“Something to eat!”

“Something to eat?”

Confirming what Ara brought it was a plant like a small fruit. Casually examining there was a small plant cluster at the place Ara brought.

“When living here I mainly ate these! Later because I ate too much they all disappeared!”

“Yeah?”

Was that why almost starved to death.

To think she ate to the extent of extinguishing one species.

Anyway I received the fruit Ara handed and smelled it.

‘No smell at all.’

Wondering just in case and about to ask the method of eating, before I knew it Ara was holding a bunch in hand and tearing and eating.

“There is skin but just eating is fine!”

The size was about a little fingernail.

Putting in the mouth and chewing the skin broke and the grain inside was felt.

‘Savory.’

It was a feeling like chewing savory bread.

The more chewing sweetness also rose and it was like rice.

“Lee Gyuseong Gyuseong! Can this also be raised?”

“Um, shall we try once?”

Probably possible.

Growing this well even in the wild if managing properly and raising I can till a field right.

Of course it’s not me doing but the slimes have to do.

‘Seeing times like this farming work slimes are almighty.’

Being able to raise even roughly planting a plant seeing for the first time was a cheat. It meant no need to grasp that plant’s vegetation.

How much water to give or how much sunlight is needed, what kind of land, appropriate temperature how many degrees etc.

For others it would be work that takes several years of research and attempts whether succeeding or not but for me unnecessary work.

“Ara, don’t eat that and gather all. Later plant separately.”

“Uuu. Understood.”

Ara who was eating deliciously whether regrettable not being able to eat more made a tearful face. Ultimately I took out the sweet potato mattang Jaeseong packed before leaving and soothed Ara.

“Mattang, mattang~!”

Ara who became bright soon held sweet potato mattang in both hands and went ahead. Going a bit further a stream flowing trickling was visible.

“Amazing.”

The environment this good but the living creatures actually living not visible so strange. No, according to Ara’s words something is living but it seemed we haven’t encountered yet but nevertheless a very quiet atmosphere.

I scooped a bit of water and packed separately.

Doubtful if drinkable water but Ara whether thirsty after eating mattang gulped well.

“Kyahaa!”

“Seems like drank beer.”

Ara had no worry.

Because of the ability of gluttony she has the ability to eat everything so she could digest whatever she eats.

Continuing the path unknown plants continuously caught the eye. Various flowers were blooming modestly.

‘Plants, that too flowers blooming like that means pollination is done...’

Evidence that bees or butterflies, or birds or flying insects transfer pollen.

Analyzing the dungeon’s ecology interestingly and following behind Ara finally I could discover something moving.

Puruk?

“Ooh! Seeing for the first time!”

“What? You also seeing for the first time?”

An animal resembling a deer, no a monster.

Just in case I brought carrot fruit and vegetable juice so I can see the monster’s ability and the time to use has come.

Gulp-

Ara dripped saliva looking at the fruit and vegetable juice I drink. Ultimately I drank only as much as the ability can be used and yielded the remaining fruit and vegetable juice to Ara.

While Ara drinks the fruit and vegetable juice, I confirmed the deer’s information through the activated ability.

[?? LV.2]

A four-legged beast that grows horns.

Mainly eats leaves of??? tree or flowers of???.

Sensitive but gentle personality.

When forming a herd the color becomes gorgeous. Weak to fire.

“Wow, it appears like this.”

The effect of the fruit and vegetable juice using for the first time was above expectation.

Even more fortunate was the point that that monster is not a dangerous beast.

“Delicious!”

“Ara, but you said seeing that animal for the first time?”

“That’s it! While I wasn’t there new guys seem to have moved in!”

Can they move in?

A bit not understood but I just passed.

We confronted the deer like that for a short while.

The deer tinged with blue light that emits faintly overall was small in body whether young or small even fully grown.

Puruk!

Suddenly Ara approached toward the deer who made a sound. The deer was startled for a moment and stepped back but whether curiosity rose in the guy too he stayed still flaring his nose.

“Come here. Right good.”

Ara approached muttering like chanting an unknown spell. Unexpectedly the deer didn’t run away and continued flaring his nose then soon approached himself.

“Aigo, good!”

The tone is exactly like our mother?

Ara who learned something strange stroked the deer who approached closely.

“Hehehe! Soft!”

“Why doesn’t he run away? Is it a fawn so curiosity is many?”

Clearly in the explanation it said sensitive but was the explanation of sensitive not as sensitive as I thought?

Seeing Ara’s appearance of enjoying I also wanted to touch. Not as cute as Ara but the deer was also a sufficiently cute appearance.

Puruk!

But when I approached the deer was startled and retreated. No, acting so friendly to Ara why me?

A bit sulky but understanding went.

Ara is cute but I’m just an adult male. Of course I never felt I lose somewhere with appearance but compared to Ara I’m a squid.

“Now even monsters look at appearance era.”

I lamented but already late.

The deer the moment I approached was already hopping toward the forest far away.

“It’s fine, Lee Gyuseong Gyuseong. If going to that forest there will be more.”

“Yeah. Let’s go quickly.”

Walking several hours before I knew it the forest was approaching. The approaching forest felt much more mysterious than when seen from afar.

“Bugs!”

Near the forest light was flying around.

Even at a glance they were flying bugs.

Indeed in this dungeon besides plants other living creatures also existed. Already a fact revealed at the point of seeing the deer but the appearance of so many lights flying around felt differently again.

“Were those bugs originally there too?”

“Were! Were delicious!”

“...Did you eat?”

The answer after that I erased from memory.

Of course since able to eat anything whatever eating wasn’t surprising but the appearance of Ara catching and eating bugs imagination...

‘It works.’

While walking Ara who grinned and picked a flower quickly bringing to the mouth was visible in real time even now.

Even in the dungeon flowers are flowers so it seemed a bit of honey is contained.

“How much have we walked?”

Confirming the clock I brought before I knew it we walked 9 hours. Anyway since almost arrived at the forest too I decided to pitch a tent around here and rest.

“Then, shall we pitch the tent.”

“Tent! Tent!”

I took out the magic stone put in the pocket.

And flowing mana into the magic stone faint light was engraved.

“If just putting this on the floor like this...”

Putting the magic stone that starts shining on the grass field the magic stone slowly became a tent and started completing itself.

“Uwaa!”

The surprised Ara exclaimed and didn’t know how to close her mouth. Roughly about 3 minutes passed and the magic stone transformed into a 10-person tent.

“Worth the expensive price.”

I immediately ordered Bokkeum to spit out the luggage. Like that organizing the spit out luggage neatly and installing alarms around.

“What is this?”

“Barrier stick. If sticking this around the tent weak monsters can’t enter.”

While sticking the barrier sticks in the ground I told Ara to prepare the brazier. Since she saw the displayed one at the store she would roughly guess how to set.

Thud! Thud!

Hitting the stick with a hammer and sticking.

A total of 16 sticks I installed roundly in a 50m radius of the tent.

Casually checking if Ara is doing well gathering with the slimes and putting heads together pondering was visible.

‘Fatal back view.’

Cute to the extent I want to go hug right now but I barely endured and stuck the sticks.

Installing all 16 the barrier formed and something like a faint film was created.

“Done. Ara, is that side done?”

“Perfect!”

Excluding the appearance of the pot going upside down on the brazier it was perfect as Ara said.

I praised saying good and spread a sheet inside the tent and organized the bedding in advance.

“What is this?”

“Sleeping bag. Enter inside this and sleep.”

“Ooh!”

Ara fidgeted and entered the sleeping bag.

Then changed into one caterpillar and undulated.

“Ehehe. Fun.”

“Warm?”

“Yeah! Warm!”

I also installed a chair to sit outside the tent and lit fire in the brazier. There is the sun but because the sky is night the brazier’s fire strangely matched.

“Exactly like came camping.”

That too the best camping ground.

Who would think this place is a dangerous dungeon.

Looking around low hills and unknown wild flowers bloomed fully. Right nearby still bugs like fireflies were flying around the mysterious atmosphere forest.

“If the stream was also right beside it would be perfect.”

Looking up once a sky of a different form from Earth was beautifully welcoming. Actually that sky was playing more than 8 parts of the role in directing the dreamy atmosphere.

‘A night sky with this many stars seems seeing for the first time.’

Crackle- Crackle-

The sound of firewood burning rang quietly.

Then Ara wearing the sleeping bag came out waddling.

“Ara, hungry?”

“I’m always hungry!”

“Then let’s eat something.”

Ara who plopped and sat on the chair located beside me looked at me with eyes full of expectation.

I decided to make curry using the cherry tomatoes and carrots, and potatoes brought from the dungeon.

Plus the herb Ambergrill!

‘Jaeseong did once. But this time the materials are a bit different.’

I put the prepared mineral water in the pot and put it on the brazier. While the water boils I roughly prepared the materials. The materials were already all trimmed before departing.

Excluding Ambergrill, tomatoes, potatoes, carrots all were ready-made foods. Later I should grow onions or garlic directly too.

Stir-frying onions and tomatoes and putting the prepared meat.

Stir-frying together like that when the meat seemed cooked to some extent I put potatoes and carrots too.

Pouring the water boiled in advance and putting curry powder the curry’s scent vibrated in an instant. Now if just sprinkling a bit of Ambergrill on top...

Gulp!

The sound of Ara swallowing saliva was heard up to here.

The slimes rolling around also approached before I knew it and were watching the cooking.

“Rice is instant rice.”

I also heated the instant rice through double boiling.

Soon the curry of the large pot was completed and each prepared bowls.

“Then, distribution.”

Undulate undulate!

Because the appetite of the slimes and Ara is so good the bowls were also tremendously big. Per one slime I put 10 instant rice fully and scooped curry.

Ara even that was insufficient so I put 20 instant rice and scooped curry.

“Uwaaa!”

Though the curry I made quite a good smell came.

Thinking I might fail the amount control making in large capacity but it seemed I did somehow.

‘The crops are a cheat.’

Probably materials that can revive even if put in failed food.

Like that preparing each share then we all lifted spoons together.

“I’ll eat well.”

“I’ll eat well!”

Wriggle! Undulate!
