ALL NOVEL chapter 41
41 – Treant Forest (4)
The atmosphere of the guys talking about something while wearing robes was quite perplexed. They probably didn’t expect that we would survive this well, and they must be contemplating whether they should join or not.
“I can’t…”
However, as Yeon-hee leveled up, she summoned all 2 cards, including the existing summon scroll, and when the 2 Lizardmen joined, the charter began to turn rapidly in our direction.
Until entering the dungeon, it was burdensome to manage all the summons at once, but when the magic power +200 artifact was added, he began to show the dignity of operating 9 summons at once.
Of course, I couldn’t move anymore because I was concentrating on maintaining the various summons, and I was standing still, but I was very satisfied with the effect of the artifact.
Kwajik!!
The horde of zombies, which has been noticeably reduced, is now less than 10 left, and when the guys who were watching us are hesitantly trying to step back.
[Stealth]
I was already stealthed and running fast toward the robed men.
‘Things like bugs dare!’
25M, 15m, 10m…
I threw 10 flame bullets into the sky with a time difference so that they hit them, and when they were within reach, I sprayed acid on their faces as they just stood up.
Puhaaagh!
As soon as his face was drenched in acidic liquid, the flame bullets he had thrown exploded as soon as they touched the acidic liquid.
Pooong!! Pop!!
– aaa!!
– Ahhhhh!! My face-!!
[Kangta]
While holding his face from the sudden attack, he hit the middle of the forehead of a guy who was in pain and didn’t know what to do with a stone hammer.
Kwajik!
Kek -!
The one I attacked fell helplessly to the floor like a deflated balloon doll with a scream of despair.
And then a message I hadn’t seen came to mind.
– Be the first to take down the sinister group that threatens the safety of this world!
– EXP greatly increases!
– The [Summoner’s Helper] Achievement is activated.
– Randomly increase stats.
‘…What?’
[Skeleton Soldier Ilwol – Lv.22]
Strength: 57 Agility: 56 Stamina: 54
Intelligence: 24 Power: 58 Resistance: 1
Sense: 24 Restoration: 6 (+1)
‘Huh… Really?’
Watching that my recovery had gone up by 1, I was dazed for a moment. I suddenly remembered one thing, turned the inside of the dead guy’s robe inside out, and confirmed the blue single-eyed pattern on the lining that stretched vertically.
‘Hmm- I don’t understand it right away, but killing those who follow the blue eyes is helping Yeon-hee, right?’
Why? What do these guys have to do with Yeonhee?
‘If you ask me, you’ll know.’
I turned around and saw the other one, who was pouring potion over his face, trying to quell the flames that were still burning his face leather.
“Tick Tak Tak Tak -“
“Hee- Hee!! Buy, save!!”
Puff-!
“Ahh!!”
After I smashed his knee with a stone hammer, he immediately sat down on the floor, and I slowly approached his trembling face.
“Poetry, Shibal·······.”
As I pushed the pattern at him, he tightly closed his eyes, which had been burned by the flames, and tightly closed his mouth.
As I thrust in the pattern again, I hit the other toe one by one.
Awesome!! Ugh!!
Even so, the guy didn’t open his mouth, biting his lip until it bled.
‘You bastard is poisonous. Then can they stand it?’
However, as Yeon-hee accompanied the lizard man and approached him, his face suddenly darkened and he eventually opened his mouth.
Everyone knows that lizard men eat their prey alive, so the moment he remembered that, he must have been unable to bear it any longer.
“Keuheuheu- I, please save my life! Me, I am a body with a wife and children!”
“Why the hell did you attack us?”
Yeon-hee seemed to have noticed how the situation was going, and began to question the man whose red flesh was exposed due to the burning of the lower official.
“Ooh, we just go upstairs and collect ancient artifacts-“
‘Artifact?’
However, the face of the guy who struggled to open his mouth was suddenly distorted and his skeleton began to change arbitrarily, and soon his face exploded.
Puong!
Kyaaah!
It became like watching Yeon-hee’s face explode in real time as she got close to interrogate her.
“Hey- hee-“
Yeonhee hurriedly brushed off the flesh from her face and made an expression as if she was about to cry.
‘Have you planted something in your body? Or not…’
– You have slain the sinister group that threatens the safety of this world!
– A slight increase in experience!
– The [Summoner’s Helper] Achievement is activated.
– Randomly increase stats.
Sense: 25 (+1)
– Your level has risen. Choose three stats to boost.

After investing stats in agility, stamina, and senses, I pondered deeply.
‘······ The Blue Eyes organization is the enemy now.’
I didn’t think about why killing them raises my stats or how such a thing is possible.
All I had to do was think that killing blue-eyed followers would make me stronger, and that killing them would help Yeon-hee.
As I killed them, Yeonhee gained experience as well, and her body briefly shimmered with blue light.
“Wow! I went up earlier, but the level went up again? Were these guys incredibly strong?”
“Crick!”
“Aren’t they strong kids? But can I get this much experience?”
‘It’s clear that [Summoner’s Helper] Achievement information is not shared with Yeonhee.’
She tilted her head and rummaged through the robes they were wearing.
“What, how can there be nothing? You guys are too much!!”
Stealing the things of the dead and blaming the dead rather than blaming the dead is a remark that anyone would doubt his personality, but I was equally disappointed.
And soon everything, including their robes, evaporated in an instant.
‘They really have no nutritional value, and they’re unlucky.’
When a hunter dies, it still drops at least one rune…
“Ilwol-ah, shall we move first?”
Nod-
The sun was already rising in the sky, so Yeon-hee moved to a place where she could eat comfortably.
“Ugh- Wearing a mask while eating is really inconvenient!!”
Yum-
Yeon-hee settled down in a moderately wide empty lot and began to eat by pushing a small rolled rice ball under her mask.
“I think I know why people are reluctant to go to the Treant Forest.”
Nodding-
It is true that Ents have clear weaknesses and are easier to deal with than monsters of the same class, but given the environment itself, it was natural for Hunters to avoid dungeons.
There is no side income to obtain leather like Big Bore, so it is only a dungeon mainly used by hunters who are lucky enough to have awakened resistance values.
“I want to visit the fire monkey dungeon a few more times, but when will it be open…”
Yum-
Yeonhee talked to me while eating, and I listened to her words while being wary of my surroundings.
“Should I throw away the summons now? Once the routine is broken, I think it’s okay now.”
She still had one summon scroll left as a reward for leveling up after killing two blue-eyed gang members.
“No… If you summon it in the middle of a fight like before, wouldn’t it be possible to use it as a card that can embarrass the enemy?”
“Tick-tock!!”
‘I wanted to tell you to keep a copy or two for that purpose.’
“Yes, since I wrote a lot today, Joe, should I be patient… But my hands get itchy when I have it hehehe.”
‘…Is it the evil of gacha?’
Anyway, we were satisfied with what we were doing and started moving again.
“But today is the first day, is it a bit too much to go all the way? Since the space in the Treant Forest is small, it doesn’t seem like it will take much time.”
I listened to her and signaled her to go. I was going that way anyway, so there was no problem.
An hour later.
We took care of a few Ents that were chasing us, but we reached our destination without incident, and we ran into other adventurers waiting for the champion to be regenerated.
– Hey… That person is the summoner…
– Lizardmen and Skeleton Soldiers? Will it be difficult to deal with?
– With that level of power, I’ll be able to serve more than two people by myself…
– Are you doing it alone without a team?
– You don’t have to distribute loot, it’s going to be honey…
We could hear people whispering, but most of them looked kindly at us.
– Today will be a bit easier, right? If you’re with that person.
– That’s right… I’ll save the potion price.
It seemed that he had no doubts that he would fight alongside a champion-level Ent if summoned.
‘My goal is not him, but I’ll think about it when the time comes.’
We settled down on the outskirts a little distance away, and a few minutes later we saw a tree slowly growing in a circular space that sloped slightly downward.
Monsters in dungeons kill hunters and grow to become variants or evolve into champions, but most of them regenerate at regular intervals like now.
Because he was summoned every 3 hours, around 20 hunters had already settled down.
‘Well, even without us, we’ll catch enough.’
I tapped Yeonhee on the shoulder and drew an X pointing to the place where the ent regenerates.
(Huh? You won’t fight that one?)
Nodding-
