S-Class Hunter Heals with Monsters - Chapter 123



Only Noblemtl

Episode 123: The Pollen Expedition is an elite few.

Cheon Do-un prepared to go to the cave area to find pollen.

Kim Nari saw that and quickly put on her coat.

After picking up the fox and holding him, he stood in front of Cheon Do-un with a look on his face that said he was ready.

“Are you going too?”

“I’m going too.”

“okay. “Then the first agent of the pollen expedition is Na-ri Kim.”

“Hey, Pollen Expedition… !”

Nari Kim’s eyes sparkled. She became the first agent of the expedition.

“Guu, what do you want to do?”

Cheon Doun looked at Gu Yu and asked.

Guu, who was sitting in front of the garden, shook his head.

-Because it looks like the judge will wake up soon. I will be watching the review here.

Cheon Do-un’s face became interesting at Gu Woo’s words.

“Do you think you’ll wake up?”

-I’m not sure yet. But it ate all the leaves that were in front of it.

A leaf that Cheon Do-un gave away. Before I knew it, it had all disappeared.

-I don’t know if I woke up and ate it in the middle of the night, or if I ate it unconsciously while I was sleeping.

If it was the latter, it could be said that his obsession with Mandragora leaves was remarkable.

-If you have a big appetite, it means it’s time to wake up. Because I come from the same volcanic region. If something happens when you wake up, it would be better for me to be there.

Cheon Do-un laughed inwardly at Gu Woo’s words.

Guu is a monster that lives alone. Before he knew it, he had become a babysitter for young monsters.

“okay. Then, I decided to stay behind. “What are you going to do?”

Cheon Do-un looked at the siblings and asked. They thought for a moment and then shook their heads.

“We’ll stay and strengthen the nest some more.”

“It worked well when I made it with tree branches. “If I try to use bones, it doesn’t look as good as I thought.”

Yujia said while looking at the arched roof made on the ribs.

It looked okay to Cheon Do-un, but the siblings had expressions of displeasure on their faces.

“Then you guys can stay too. The ones going are me and Kim Nari. “Is it just foxes?”

-Huh!

“okay. Four, including Dodaki… no. “There are five, including Blue.”

Blue waddled over when his name was mentioned.

After checking the number of people, Nari Kim raised her hand.

“The Pollen Expedition is an elite group!”

“I know. “They are an elite few.”

Cheon Do-un smiled while stroking Kim Na-ri’s head.

“Because the person who will go has been decided. Shall we leave now?”

He got on top of Blue. Nari Kim also took the fox and climbed up behind him.

As Blue flew up, Nari Kim opened her eyes and looked around.

“mister. “The world is really white.”

“I know. “There was quite a bit of snow.”

“Almost all the trees are gone.”

“All the small trees would have melted. Still, there will be many living roots. “It will sprout again in the spring.”

“Oh oh.”

Nari Kim looked around with sparkling eyes.

People call the winter inside the gate hell.

A frozen world, a land where no living thing can live.

It was a place called that, but it felt different to Nari Kim.

“mister. “I want to build a snowman.”

“okay? Then, when you get home, try making it in the yard.”

“i get it. “We will make it according to the number of people in the Coconut Family.”

“I’m looking forward to that. “If you’re having a hard time, ask Nam Ki-seok for help.”

While we were talking nonsense, we arrived at the cave area through Blue’s high-speed flight.

As always, Cheon Do-un had Blue wait nearby and then jumped.

Nari Kim also ran along, holding the fox.

“mister. “There was almost no snow inside the cave area.”

“Because the arched pillars would have served as a roof.”

Thanks to this, the bare ground inside the maze-like cave area was visible.

“Let’s go in. “The thorn vines will live further in.”

Cheon Do-un entered the cave area with Kim Nari.

* * *

The cave area I came to after a long time had not changed.

The dense pillars and the resulting maze. Nari Kim looked around, looking for a vine somewhere.

“mister. “I don’t see any vines or anything.”

“Try to look at the floor, not up.”

“floor?”

“The thorn vine is a large monster.”

A monster with twisted thorny vines growing widely on the ground. The range averaged 10 meters.

“If you drag that big body around, it’s bound to leave drag marks on the floor. “Look for signs of something being dragged.”

“I get it. “Look for traces.”

Nari Kim’s pupils glowed red. I switched my view to scan mode and looked around.

“found. 500 meters ahead. “There are long traces of something being dragged on the floor.”

“good job. “Then let’s go.”

“The road is a maze because of the pillars. “I will take the lead.”

Nari Kim moved toward the location she saw.

At the place we arrived, there were definitely signs of the floor being dragged.

“It feels like we moved in a hurry. “I think they sensed our presence and ran away.”

“Uh, is that something like that? So what do we do now?”

“If we chase after it like this, we’ll just end up hiding inside the maze.”

So there is no end.

“Let’s go to the siege operation. “Nari Kim and I will go up and outrun the vines.”

Cheon Do-un saw the fox hanging around Kim Nari’s neck.

“Let the fox follow these tracks here. If you just follow your tracks, you won’t get lost. “You don’t have to do it if you’re scared.”

It’s not scary. The fox jumped off Kim Nari’s shoulder.

-I will. I will be of help to Nari Kim. I will return the favor to my boss too.

The fox spoke in a fairly clear voice.

When I first discovered him at the research institute, his speech was slurred, but after coming here, I became quite accustomed to human speech.

The problem is that they call Cheon Do-un the boss.

‘Why are you calling me like that… ah. Did you hear this when they were teasing Lee Baek-ho?’

Cheon Do-un laughed to himself. If I continued like this, I really felt like I would become the boss of some kind of organization.

“good. Then let’s form a triangle and surround it.”

Cheon Do-un jumped up with Kim Nari at his side.

As I ran ahead in the direction the fox was running, I saw a vine running away from afar.

“Nari Kim, you block the path on the left side of the vine. “I’m going to turn right.”

“I get it. “I follow what you say.”

Nari Kim jumped over the pillars as if crossing stepping stones.

Now is the right time. When Cheon Do-un gave a signal with his hand, Kim Nari jumped.

Cheon Do-un also jumped down the pillar at the same time.

-I arrived too!

The fox ran after the tracks and shouted.

As it was surrounded from all sides, the thorn vines stood tall.

Hundreds of small flowers were blooming in the center of the vine.

-Smurf

Vines the size of forearms gathered together as if they were about to shrink.

As if protecting the flower, the thorn vine forms a round sphere and wraps it tightly.

“What you said was right. “I don’t think people can go in there.”

“yes? Now it’s Dodak’s turn to step forward.”

Cheon Do-un took out Dodaki from his waist bag.

After spraying the communication medicine, I put Dodak down in front of the thorn vines.

Finally, he unfolded the picture he had drawn before in front of him.

“Do you remember this picture?”

-Huh!

『Isn’t it the helper and me?』

“yes. And that’s the vine pictured here.”

Cheon Do-un pointed to the thorn vine in front of him.

Dodak looked at the picture in the notebook and the vines in turn, and then his eyes widened.

-after… Huh!

『What my helper wants is there!』

“that’s right. “I know.”

Cheon Do-un pulled out the thread from his finger. He tied it to the stem of Dodaki’s leaf.

“I’ll be pulling out long threads as you go. When you come out, look at this thread and follow it. you can do it?”

Dodak looked at the thread connected to him and nodded.

-Huh.

『I understand』

King Dodak’s dignified nod.

-Help, hehe!

『Rest assured. I will pick the flowers』

-Huh… huh!

『I’m going!』

Cheon Do-woon’s shoulders trembled as the phrases appeared and disappeared one after another.

Dodak entered the thorn vines, waving his red coat.

* * *

Dodak, who came into the gap between the vines, looked around.

It is a narrow gap where people can never enter.

But to Dodak, it was like a wide cave.

A thorn vine the size of a person’s forearm blocked the road.

Dodak jumped and jumped over it.

There was a gap far above that you could pass through.

I also jumped over it.

There were also places where thorn vines were piled up tightly to form a wall.

Jump, jump, jump. Dodak stepped on the thorns and stood on top of them.

-Huh!

『There is nothing that can stop me』

A solemn phrase appeared above Dodak’s head.

As I jumped down following the scent of the flower, the text changed.

『Huh… Huh, huh』

Dodak seemed relaxed, humming a song in his heart.

How far did it go through the thorns?

We entered the central area where flowers were in full bloom. Hundreds of cute flowers were blooming everywhere.

-Help, hehe!

『I have found something that will please my helper』

Dodak picked the flower in front of him. I also picked the one next to me.

Is it enough now? Dodak quietly stared at the two flowers.

-Huh!

“no. My helper has a huge body, so he will need a lot of flowers.』

I picked the third flower. Four, five, six.

-after… Yes!

I won seven. Dodak wiped his forehead with the roots of his arms. It was a difficult journey to pick seven flowers.

It’s not a question of whether or not your physical strength has increased.

Something with pretty leaves, a good color, and a good scent.

The process of selecting only those things took up a lot of mental energy.

Now the question is how to take this away.

Dodak saw seven flowers lined up on the floor. There were too many to carry them all.

-Huh!

『There is a way』

Dodak placed a flower between his leaves.

The other one was in his mouth.

Now there are five flowers left.

Dodak took off his coat. He piled five flowers there and held them in his arms.

-Huh.

『It is done』

-Help, hehe!

『Helper, wait. I’m coming… !』

Contrary to the solemn phrase, Dodaki walked lightly without letting the flowers fall.

『Hehehe, hehehehe!』

A humming song in Dodak’s heart floated above his head.

* * *

“Mister, Dodak is coming!”

Nari Kim cheered when she saw Dodak walking along the thread.

“Dodak did it!”

There was one flower carried on top of my head. There is a flower in my mouth. There are five flowers in my arms.

“It’s like a flower… !”

Kkotdodak has arrived.

Dodak went in front of Cheon Doun. The gait was light yet confident.

-Huh.

『A huge helper』

Dodak placed the flowers he had brought in his coat at Cheon Do-woon’s feet.

I put down what I had stuck between the leaves and what I was carrying in my mouth.

A large number of flowers, as many as seven.

-Help, hehe!

『If my helper is happy, I will be happy too』

Cheon Do-un covered his mouth and trembled his shoulders.

The corners of the mouth rose every time the solemn letters of golden powder fluttered over the top.

Dodak looked at Cheon Do-un closely.

Unlike before, my vision became clearer and I could see Cheon Do-un smiling.

-Huh!

『My helper rejoices… !』

“Yes, I’m glad. “Did you pick seven flowers?”

Cheon Do-un stroked Dodak’s leaves.

“It was hard, wasn’t it?”

Dodak tilted his head. A phrase appeared above my head with a short buzzing sound.

『I would even jump into a fire pit for my helper. My helper, smile』

Cheon Do-un’s shoulders trembled again.

A magnificent feeling hidden in a short response.

Every time they appeared, Cheon Do-un felt cheerful.

“That’s all well and good, but don’t jump into the fire pit.”

The flower dodak was okay, but I didn’t want to see the military dodak.

Cheon Doun put the flowers Dodak brought into his waist bag.

“Uncle, is that enough?”

“that’s enough. Basically, you only need a couple of flowers. All you have to do is soak the glow-in-the-dark stone in water with a small amount of pollen. Then the glow-in-the-dark stone will turn red.”

“Oh oh… !”

“Because I picked seven flowers. “The color will come out nice and dark.”

Cheon Do-un picked up Dodak and sat him on his shoulder.

Flowers were put in the bag, so today’s seat was on Cheon Do-woon’s shoulder.

“Are you going back now?”

“yes. Now go home… .”

Cheon Do-un stopped when he saw the vine.

‘If you think about it, the medicine Joseph made was not limited to Mandragora.’

It interprets anything that plant monsters say. In that case, wouldn’t you be able to translate the words of that bramble vine?

Cheon Do-un took out a medicine bottle out of curiosity.

When the medicine was dropped on the thorn vine, a golden spell circle was activated and a phrase appeared.

“that… The evil plant that stole my flower』

Cheon Do-un paused at the word evil.

『Evil, evil. How can the same plants do this to each other? It’s so evil』

Evil dodak. Cheon Do-un saw Do-dak sitting on his shoulder.

When our eyes met, Dodak tilted his head.

-Huh?

『Why are you doing this, my helper?』

The evil Dodak asked.

“no. Nothing.”

Dodak is innocent. If he is guilty, it is he who gave the cruel instructions to pick the flowers.

Cheon Do-un, the evil boss of the Coconut Family.

Since he was the one responsible for this, he deserved the grudge, not Dodak.

『It’s evil… !』

Despite shouting that it was evil, the vine did not attack at all.

Thorn Vine was a defensive monster that used the thorns on its body only for defense.

‘Why are there so many gentle species of plant monsters?’

Cheon Do-un smiled and looked at the vine.

“I will pay for seven flowers. “What can I do for you?”

Will he understand people like Guu? Or is only one-sided interpretation possible, like Dodaki?

Cheon Do-un waited for Thorn Vine’s reaction.
