Surviving the Game as a Barbarian – 375



Episode 375 Treasure Hunter (3)

King Slime Guardian of the Green Coal Mine.

If you consume it you can use it well until the middle of the water.

No matter what happens there is no one among us who can drink this essence…

It’s not like they didn’t come out in the first place.

“King Slime has been defeated. EXP +4」

「Guardian kill bonus. EXP +3」

I tasted bitterly as I watched the king slime disappear into a cloud of light.

“Wow nothing really shows up?”

Now that I have the essence I was hoping to get at least a number item.

How come no crack stones appear?

The individual drop rate would be 33.3%…

‘…If you think about it no purified water came out on the way here.’

Actually I had some expectations.

I wonder if the guardian will spit out a good number item at the end.

“Still one essence didn’t come out.”

I burst out laughing at Amelia’s words that seemed to soothe me.

What kind of essence is that? It’s just trash.

Grade 9 monster slime.

When eaten physical stats such as bone strength physical resistance strength and agility decrease and only stats with low combat value such as poison resistance intuition and digestion are piled up.

But the skills are just like that.

It may be useful depending on the situation but…

In general it is not worth taking that penalty so it is considered to be the worst value essence among the 9th grade.

Oh by the way Jeong Soo caught some random mobsters while hunting King Slime.

‘If something like this comes out don’t come out at all.’

Then there will still be hope that the jackpot will hit next time.

“Man a portal has opened over there! Are you going to leave right away?”

“Of course.”

I led my colleagues and headed toward the portal.

There was absolutely no hesitation in his steps.

The name is a crack but what comes out is a slime essence.

What on earth is this damn room?

“You have entered the crystal cave on the first floor.”

Let’s get out quickly.

If you stay any longer you’ll get scabies.

***

After breaking through the crack there was no hesitation.

Since there was nothing to do on the lower floors we headed upstairs and reached our target floor on the 26th day.

“I have entered the Great Sea on the 6th floor.”

Raemia the island of beginning.

It wasn’t crowded with explorers and soldiers like the last time I came. And this also applies to the warships that filled the coastline.

It was natural that the expeditionary force heading to the Dark Continent would depart on the 25th.

In fact that’s why I arrived a day late on purpose.

“Now then let’s go to the shore.”

There was no reason to waste time on an empty island so we headed straight to the coast.

And the ship that was in subspace was taken out.

Its appearance was different from previous ships that had no sails and had to be rowed.

‘Okay it has to be this size to be called a boat.’

A vessel of similar size and shape to the fishing boats commonly seen in Korea.

There is a large square sail at the center of the ship and there is also a horsepower propulsion device at the bottom of the rear so you can dramatically increase speed when you are in a hurry by simply inserting a magic stone.

Simply put it means that it is a ship that can cross windless areas as long as you have enough magic stones.

‘Actually I wonder if it would be possible to go out to a wind-free area without a navigator…’

Soon all three of us were on her boat and Amelia stood at the helm swallowing her saliva.

But maybe that appearance was a bit untrustworthy?

Erwen cautiously expressed his anxiety.

“She is but she is not even a navigator. Can she properly drive this ship…?”

She said “She says she has experience driving small boats before so she will be much better than me who only has experience rowing. “She learned her basic operations upon purchasing the vessel.”

“Hmm….”

“Right Amelia?”

“…don’t talk to me. “Because I’m thinking about it.”

“….”

Ugh is this suddenly making me anxious?

Amelia who was holding the helm of her ship and making a serious expression as if she was simulating it in her head began giving her orders in earnest.

“First…she has to row off the island. “So she could ride the wind.”

“There was…?”

“If you’re dissatisfied you can do it yourself—”

“No there isn’t. “Do as you are told.”

“….”

Instead of telling Amelia who was clearly a novice to leave the ship behind I faithfully followed her instructions.

Of course she had no intention of rowing too hard.

Why did you pay so much money to buy this boat?

Slurp-!

When the magic stone was inserted into the tube connected to her magic propulsion device the ship began to move forward.

“…Tsk!”

Amelia seemed surprised by the speed which was faster than she expected but quickly regained her composure and turned her rudder to change direction.

and….

“It’s now! sail! “Unfold your sails!”

As soon as the sails were unfurled the ship began to move forward in the wind.

Huh I guess it works out if I do it somehow.

“What direction?”

“Don’t worry we’re heading east just fine.”

“I see….”

Amelia let out a sigh of relief at my words.

Meanwhile her hands were holding the key tightly.

It felt a little fresh.

I can’t believe that a kid who didn’t even flinch when killing people gets this nervous about something like this.

“You can see it slowly.”

As we continued sailing east for about 15 minutes an island appeared at the edge of the horizon.

An island located the closest to the starting point after Farune Island to the west where a fierce battle took place with Stormgush.

Gurkha Island.

Actually there was no particular reason to stop by this island.

The monsters that appear on this island are of low grade and all of them also appear in lower levels.

The supply and demand of experience points ended a long time ago.

but….

‘There’s nothing we can do because there’s no navigator on the ship.’

With our navigation skills it was nearly impossible to proceed in a straight line to the desired destination so we had no choice but to proceed step by step visiting each island one by one.

Well there were other reasons as well.

“…Are you okay uncle?”

“….”

After this damn seasickness.

It definitely seems a little better than before but it still makes me feel sick and it’s hard to bear it.

“If you’re having a hard time you can rest for a while and then start.”

“Please.”

Soon after anchoring the boat at the coast we took a short break.

Still this was the good thing about the Barbarian’s body.

Even though the motion sickness is severe it gets better in 10 minutes.

“Now then let’s set sail again.”

After recovering my condition I went through a series of procedures and started sailing again.

The next destination is Anos the second island on the eastern route.

“It will take about three hours to get there by boat. Can you get there properly?”

“…don’t worry. “I said we just need to keep moving in the northeast northeast direction.”

“Who?”

“…from the book.”

Erwen who had never participated in such a reckless voyage before showed an untrustworthy look on her face again.

But Amelia was quite good at navigation and after about three hours she saw an island in the distance.

Amelia clenched her fists.

“You found the right one.”

“But why is the island visible from the east and not from the front?”

“…That’s within the margin of error.”

Cancer: This is within the margin of error.

Soon Amelia turned her bow and before long we arrived at Arnos Island.

Unlike Gurkha Island which I skipped there was business on this island.

There are no hidden pieces or hidden treasures but you must gain experience points that you have not received yet.

Also since the weather is getting dark we plan to spend the night here.

But before that…

“Weeeeeeek!”

First let’s empty our stomach.

***

“The Raffle Monkey has been defeated. EXP +3」

“The War Snake has been defeated. EXP +4」

“Nigel Fencer has been defeated. EXP +4」

“Belgaro has been defeated. EXP +5」

“I defeated the Black Tree….”

「….」

***

Anos Island has a jungle terrain on 99% of the island excluding the coast.

After camping on the coast for one night we began exploring in earnest the next day.

By the time I finished traveling around the entire island and collecting experience points it was getting dark again so I had to camp for one more night.

‘Well I thought I could catch everything and get to the next island in half a day.’

The monster hunted last was largely responsible for the twist in the schedule. Even though I went around the entire island I couldn’t see it so I had to search until nightfall.

“Mister the stars aren’t very pretty—”

Drurrrrrrrrrr—!

“You’re sleeping….”

After resting for one more night we set sail early the next morning and headed to the next island. Fortunately we arrived at the next island properly this time.

And the process continues….

“It’s already the seventh island.”

“The name was Pione Island right?”

We arrived at the seventh island on the eastern route in ten days.

To be honest it was quite surprising.

It’s like getting here safely with a navigator who only knows how to move forward stop and park.

‘I thought there might be something that passes by at least once.’

Is driving a boat easier than you think?

With that in mind these days I am watching Amelia drive her boat and learning from her one by one.

I am slowly getting used to the seasickness.

“Wow just like I heard the island is really pretty.”

“Erwen is this your first time here too?”

“yes. “I usually overdo it.”

“Well if you’re unlucky it’s just a waste of time.”

Pione the seventh island on the eastern route.

It is often referred to as a treasure island among explorers.

Compared to islands with mountains in the center the land is flat and the area is small enough to circle the island in about 3 hours.

For reference only one type of level 4 monster appears here…

“Are you just going to pass by here too?”

“The day is slowly getting closer so I’ll just stay one night.”

Erwen looked somewhat happy after hearing my answer.

Well it’s safe to say that there are no monsters on the island itself.

If you meet a monster you can think of it as winning the lottery.

“mister! There’s quite a bit of time left until night so let’s take a look around the island together! yes?”

“…If that’s the case.”

“It could be dangerous so I’ll go with you.”

After landing on the island we put the boat into subspace and walked around to learn the terrain.

Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow

The cool sea breeze caressing your body.

A wide open field and a field of colorful flowers.

“Not bad.”

As I blurted out my sentiments without realizing it Erwen smiled brightly as if he agreed.

“Hehe right?”

“Yes it is open on all sides so if a robber approaches while you are sleeping you will easily be able to spot it.”

“…yes?”

Erwen tilted her head as if she didn’t understand for a moment but this part was important.

This island is not called Treasure Island for nothing.

Even if most of the top explorers participated in the war and went to the 7th floor the possibility that there would be no explorers on this island was close to zero.

This island is the only place excluding rifts where you can obtain Number Items.

“Enough of the reconnaissance let’s set up camp over there. “There is a place I looked at earlier.”

“Oh yes….”

As we were all seasoned explorers with a daily wage camping preparations were completed quickly this time and we set Amelia’s alter ego on watch and went to sleep.

And how long has it been?

“Shuitz wake up.”

Amelia shook me awake.

Rubbing her sleepy eyes she checked her surroundings and before she knew it Erwen had also woken up and taken out her bow.

There was only one case that came to mind.

That would make a lot more sense than encountering monsters on this island.

“How many people?”

She skipped unnecessary conversation and only asked for the information she needed to confirm and Amelia also answered briefly.

“Fifteen.”

“By clan.”

An uninvited guest came by at night.
