Episode 90
Male gecko spider.
Yeongsu thought about the bastard’s characteristics.
‘The most sensitive of their senses is sight.’
The visual abilities of the gecko spider were amazing.
Wide field of vision from eight eyes, with night vision sharp enough to see through the darkness.
They use their keen eyesight to spot enemies and silence them with a dash attack.
However, being overly sensitive to a particular sense means that you are also highly dependent on that sense.
So what would happen if we blocked this guy’s vision?
Push tasting!
That is, with the smoke emitted from the incendiary gloves.
“Kasasasa… … ?!”
The guy started to panic.
Because the smoke completely obscured my view.
Why can’t eyes that see through darkness see through smoke?
The principle of night vision is to amplify and receive small amounts of light through the visual organs.
But this method could not penetrate the smokescreen.
Smoke is a fine dust cloud that physically obscures vision.
Therefore, no matter how sensitive one was to detect light, it was impossible to see through the smoke.
“Khahaaak!”
The guy started to get excited and start shaking violently in embarrassment.
The visual helplessness he was experiencing for the first time brought him great embarrassment.
That moment when I thought I was immersed in perfect darkness.
The bastard focused all his attention on hearing instead of sight.
At that very moment.
Youngsu threw a stone into the tunnel.
Ter-ung… … .
At that moment, all of his attention was focused on where the sound had come from.
The guy thought.
There it is.
There is something over there.
Like many predators, it threw itself without hesitation toward the sound.
The rock-like body was fired like a shell.
Throw!
Large body, sturdy shell, and terrifying speed.
A charge machine with all three elements.
But being heavy and fast means it’s also difficult to change direction.
Youngsoo threw the net he had prepared in advance towards the direction the bastard had rushed.
The net made by unzipping the spinal shirt.
The reason this casting was possible in the thick smoke was thanks to Youngsoo’s skills.
Thanks to ‘echolocation’, a skill that identifies geographical features through waves including sound.
Chahak!
The spider was wrapped in its net like a soccer ball that had gone into a goal.
Toby was inwardly shocked to see that.
Because I thought the net would tear.
‘The only thing that came to mind was a net… How could we not have thought of that?!’
But such concerns were short-lived.
The spider was entangled in the web and rolled around on the floor.
‘uh……?’
The scene unfolding before his eyes was beyond Toby’s expectations.
Youngsu’s net was not torn.
The net was intact even after receiving an object of that mass and speed from the front.
‘Does a net that tough exists…?’
Toby was embarrassed.
As far as I know, a net of that high strength doesn’t exist.
“Kahak!”
The spider, entangled in the net, began to writhe half-upside down.
Youngsoo didn’t miss that moment.
Clang!
I tangled the strings of the net once more so that he couldn’t untie it.
Not stopping there, he untied some of the net’s strings and tied the ends to stalagmites and stalactites throughout the tunnel.
In that way, the bastard was unable to break free from his bonds or roll away.
Since the movement itself was blocked, the rest was easy.
Sling.
Yeongsu took out the poison sword from his inventory and slowly approached the bastard.
Little by little, the smoke cleared and the creature’s figure was revealed.
The hard carapace of the spider and the gaps between them came into view.
That gap was this guy’s weak point.
Phew!
Yeongsu stuck the poisoned sword into the gap.
As the venom began to spread, the spider began to scream and thrash around.
But there was nothing he could do while tied up tightly.
All I can do is wait for death to spread through my blood vessels.
Yeongsu took a step back, stuck his sword in the bastard’s mouth, sat down on the rock, and spoke.
“Phew, let’s take a break.”
“Hey, can I just leave it like that… … ?”
“If we leave it like that, it’ll die anyway.”
So the two took a short break, watching the giant popping spider.
Youngsoo thought.
‘In the past, I would have just stuck the knife into the gap without going through this annoying process.’
But what can I do?
In fact, it was fortunate that I was able to survive to this extent even after using the blood transfusion machine with this body.
Because this body was not yet optimized for blood sucking and bloodletting, that is, sucking and exhaling blood energy.
And what is absolutely necessary to proceed with that optimization is… … .
‘The blood of the blood horse.’
Blood Horse, the worst villain in the Central Plains.
A great villain who has risen to fame among all martial artists regardless of their sects, whether they are the righteous, evil, or demonic.
‘In order to freely use the Bloodletter, you absolutely need the blood of a Blood Demon.’
There were two problems that Youngsoo was currently facing.
First, the absence of area-wide skills.
Second, there is a lack of mana capacity in the body.
But if you get your hands on the blood of the Blood Demon, you can solve both of these problems at once.
That is why it was an item that had to be obtained at all costs.
‘Well, this is a story that takes place after the Central Plains world encroached upon Earth.’
The first world to invade Earth was Eldrunia, the world of the elves.
The next world to be eroded was the world of the martial artists, the Central Plains.
‘Blood of the Blood Horse’ is an item that exists right there.
“Hey, Mr. Cheon Yeong-su? It looks like they’re all dead.”
“hmm.”
The spider’s heartbeat stopped completely.
Yeongsu pulled out the poison sword and took it with him, then sucked the spinal net back in.
Chorus!
The net that had been tightly binding the spider broke free and became part of Youngsoo’s shirt.
Because cutting and joining were free, it was possible to control them so easily.
“Then shall we go?”
The two prepared to set off again.
* * *
An old male elf was tending to the grasses in his front yard.
An old man with a long beard and a stubborn frown was watering the grass.
To someone who didn’t know, they looked like simple bushes, but when you get to know them, each and every one of them was a valuable medicinal herb.
This old man was none other than Toby’s father, the pharmacist Torvan.
“I’m here, father.”
At Toby’s words, Torvan raised his head and said.
“Who is that guy next to you?”
“It’s Cheon Yeong-su.”
Torban responded curtly to Youngsoo’s answer.
“Who asked your name, you punk?”
“I am a human who killed the 7th rank Shin Saru Dragon Zentamino and was chosen by the Holy Sword. Did that answer your question?”
“I don’t like your race, and even your self-introduction is completely shameless. You must have something that can compensate for your shattered personality, right?”
“of course.”
chin.
Youngsoo took out the corpse of a spider from his inventory.
Torvan’s eyes shook slightly when he saw that.
Youngsoo said.
“I know this spider was causing quite a nuisance, so I killed it.”
“Huh… Oh… … .”
“I’ll give this body to the old man. If I take this spider’s carapace, venom gland, and fangs and sell them, I’ll get quite a bit of money. Did I say something wrong?”
At that moment, a smile appeared on Torvan’s lips, which had been stiff the whole time.
“Come in.”
Youngsoo and Toby entered Torban’s house.
As soon as I entered the house, a familiar smell hit my nose.
When I entered the Oriental medicine clinic, I smelled that complex herbal medicine smell. That was it.
The source of this smell is, of course, herbs and medicinal ingredients.
In fact, all kinds of medicinal herbs were stored in hundreds of drawers.
The three of them sat around the table after clearing away the pile of papers that had been piled up on it.
As soon as Torban sat down, he got straight to the point.
“Is it a medicine problem?”
“I want to know the exact antidote.”
“Antitox for what poison?”
“The poison of evil.”
“What a sight… What great sin did I commit to see such an ugly thing?”
“It wasn’t me who suffered, it was my men.”
“I see. Well, anyway, the prescription is easy. Just boil some parsley and feed it to them.”
Passacho.
A question mark appeared on Youngsoo’s face when he heard those words.
“… I heard that it’s poisonous.”
I have never actually seen it, but I have heard of it in some literature and from NPCs.
“Poisonous grass. And the poison that is closest to snake venom.”
“But you want me to feed it to you?”
“If you were to prescribe fennel to someone bitten by a poisonous snake, it would be a sure death. However, the poison of a viper is a different story.”
“… … ?”
“Admiral Lee Dok. The poison of the evil spirit can only be eliminated by burning it with the poison of the Pasacho.”
Torvan got up, opened a drawer, and took something out.
Three bundles of dried herbs.
Although Youngsu knew information about all the plants in the game, it wasn’t easy to deduce the original form of the withered grass just by looking at it.
Youngsoo asked.
“This is… … ?”
“It’s dried parsley. For now, this is all I have. But how many of your subordinates have been poisoned by the evil spirit?”
“Thirty.”
“Oh, at this rate, we can only treat two people.”
“Is there any habitat of the Pasacho nearby?”
“It’s there, but it’s far. It’s at least thirty miles from here. Besides, it’s not the season right now, so there probably aren’t many flowers left.”
“Hmm… Maybe they’ll have it if I go to another pharmacy?”
“None. There are a lot of pharmacies around here, but this is probably the only crazy one that stocks poisonous herbs, you punk.”
Well, it’s because of this guy that I came looking for him.
Because he was a true pharmacist who would catch hold of any medicine or poison and study it first.
“Anyway, this concludes the prescription.”
Torban stood up after handing the Pasacho to Yeongsu.
Youngsoo’s expression became complicated.
‘Damn, I can only save two with this… Should I go to the habitat here first? Or… … .’
At that time, all kinds of thoughts were rushing through my head.
Sigh.
Youngsoo felt a sharp pain in his back.
Torban had stuck a long needle into Youngsu’s back.
At the same time, a dizzying desire for sleep began to creep into Youngsoo’s mind.
anesthesia.
Yeongsu tried to resist, but the aura was so strong that he couldn’t control his body properly.
“what……!”
“Get some rest first.”
I was gradually losing my mind.
thud!
Youngsoo collapsed on the table and passed out.
* * *
“omg……!”
Youngsoo opened his eyes.
A heavy fatigue was weighing on my whole body.
This is on the bed.
Yeongsu’s entire body, including his blanket, was drenched in sweat.
But something was strange.
‘… It’s not tied up?’
There was no restraint at all.
I was clearly attacked from behind.
Yeongsu’s body was literally just lying on the bed.
And there… … .
‘Why do I feel light?’
After using the blood transfusion, every corner of Youngsoo’s body was creaking.
So, I haven’t been able to fight properly until now.
But now, that unpleasant creaking noise has largely disappeared.
Even if he couldn’t do it, he had recovered to about 50 percent of his original body.
“What the heck is this… … .”
“Hey, before you take care of your subordinates, why didn’t you take care of yourself first? Tsk. Where are you going to go thirty miles in that body, you crazy bastard.”
It was Thorvan.
This guy is scribbling something on a piece of paper next to the bed.
“…Did you cure me?”
“I was overcharged for the medicine so I gave you change. Don’t misunderstand it as kindness.”
What Torban stuck into Youngsu’s back was a needle soaked in medicine.
That was what restored Youngsoo’s damaged body.
Only then did Youngsoo realize why he had not noticed this stabbing.
Because there was no murderous intent in the first place.
Because it was a stab intended to save the opponent, even Youngsoo’s life-detection skill could not detect it.
“No, if you were going to treat me, you could have told me in advance. Anyway, thank you… … .”
“Okay, take this.”
Torban held out a piece of paper.
On it, the shape of grass that I had never seen before was precisely drawn.
“This is a passacho. Look at it carefully and if you find a way to get it, use this as a reference to get it.”
“This is… … !”
Youngsoo’s eyes sparkled.
Because I had seen this grass growing naturally in Seoul.
