S-Class Hunter Heals with Monsters - Chapter 197



Only Noblemtl

197. The new shoots of the dodak flap their wings

“There’s a white swamp on the island too. How interesting.”

I don’t know what the ingredients of that white swamp are.

But if there was any chance that Gu-u would find strength, then of course he had to go.

“Should I bring Gu-u?”

The siblings asked. Cheon Do-woon thought for a moment and then shook his head.

“Let’s hold off until we can properly check the swamp.”

If you go and it isn’t a white swamp, or doesn’t have the power of the effect Gu-woo wanted, you’ll be disappointed.

In that case, it would have been better to bring it after checking.

“So when should we leave?”

When Seok Woo-hyeok asked, Cheon Do-woon looked at the trio’s behavior.

Everyone’s faces were pale. It was the result of not being able to sleep for the past four days and being chased by chimeras.

Nam Ki-seok, who had fallen to the floor, didn’t even move an inch.

“Get some rest first. We’ll go later.”

A permit to rest was finally granted after several days.

Seok Woo-hyeok and No. 49 each grabbed Nam Ki-seok’s arm with haggard faces.

Let’s just drag it. A dragging mark was left on the sandy beach.

It looked like something a stranger would mistake for a crime scene.

“Still, even though he’s the youngest, he takes good care of Nam Ki-seok.”

Although Nam Gi-seok was the most senior member of the Coconut Family, he was the youngest of the three in terms of age.

It was nice to see him not forgetting that person and taking care of him.

As the trio retreated, the siblings looked at Cheon Do-woon.

“But do you really think Nam Ki-seok can become S-class?”

“Well, if it doesn’t work out, then I’ll make it work.”

Cheon Do-woon answered calmly.

“I have to make it happen.”

Cheon Do-woon said it twice. Then it will happen. I will squeeze it until it happens.

The siblings who knew that looked back at Nam Gi-seok.

‘I happened to meet Cheon Do-woon.’

If it weren’t for fate, I would have lived an ordinary life as a rich kid. What an unlucky person.

They looked at Nam Ki-seok with sad faces.

The mouth was smiling.

* * *

Dodaki felt satisfied for the first time in a long time.

The feeling of floating on the water on a tube felt good.

-Huh… .

I put strength into my left foot. The water splashed.

I also put strength into the root of my right foot. The water splashed twice.

-Ouch, oh yeah… .

Dodaki closed his eyes tightly and enjoyed playing in the water.

“good?”

The joy was doubled by the soft voice of the assistant.

“Yeah. Seems good.”

The assistant puts his hand in the water. What is he trying to do?

As Dodaki stared at him intently, Cheon Do-woon began to stir the water.

-Huh, huh?

The waves rose. The water rippled.

The raft floating on the tube also swayed.

What is this? The feeling of floating is doubled. It shakes. It sways. It’s fun.

“Isn’t it good?”

-Whew!

Dodaki roared. His satisfaction soared as the wave-riding increased.

The roots became moist and the leaves became fresher, which I could feel in real time.

After 30 minutes, Dodaki’s eyes closed sleepily.

Ah, that’s enough. That’s the end of our tube play for today.

The tube moved forward as the dodaki’s feet flapped in the water.

My body touched the stone steps made by Cheon Do-un. Dodak left the pool, taking each step at a time.

“Are you done playing?”

-Whew!

We all played.

The tree shook its body. The water droplets on the leaves splashed in all directions.

“Good job. Now let’s dry the clothes.”

Cheon Do-woon lifted the lever. First, he untied the shoulder strap and took out the tube.

He also took off his Aloha shirt and pants.

After taking off the sunglasses necklace as decoration, it was back to its original appearance after a long time.

“Let’s see. The place where you got hurt while playing in the water is….”

Cheon Do-woon laid the dodak on his palm and examined it carefully.

Moisture of the trunk roots. Pass.

Fully fleshy arms and legs. Pass.

Finally, I tried tickling my stomach with my fingers.

-Phew, phew…!

The tickling sensation made my feet tremble. My sensory organs were also satisfied.

“Okay. Be healthy.”

While Cheon Do-woon was doing a health check, Dodak’s eyes were half-closed. His mouth was open and he was making a gurgling sound.

With the fatigue from playing in the water, it was time for a nap.

Cheon Do-woon stopped trying to put Dodak in his fanny pack.

‘No. If you come to the sea, you have to do this.’

Cheon Do-woon laid the sleeping Dodak on the sandy beach. He covered the sand convexly, leaving only the face exposed.

The sand bath I saw in a magazine one day has finally been completed.

-Huh… .

The sleeping Dodak’s expression relaxed.

The sand, warmed by the sun, gave Dodak a different kind of satisfaction.

“Something is missing… Ah. Right. Is this it?”

Cheon Do-un entered the forest.

When I returned, I was holding two sticks and a broad leaf in my hand.

“Where would you use that?”

“Dodak is going to make a parasol for me.”

Cheon Do-woon stuck the leaf next to Dodak-i.

The parasol with leaves is complete. The quality of sleep has improved significantly as the sunlight is blocked.

The siblings laughed at the insignificant yet perfect parasol.

“Okay. Then what are those two branches?”

“I’m going to use this to dry my clothes.”

Cheon Do-woon stuck a tree branch next to the mini pool.

Two small poles, each about 30 centimeters high, were created. Pull out the thread and tie it to both sides to complete the clothesline.

Cheon Do-woon hung Dodak’s clothes on the clothesline.

“Okay. Perfect.”

Cheon Do-woon laughed. His siblings also laughed.

The clothes are small and the sun is good, so if you leave them like this, they will dry quickly.

‘Sometimes it’s okay to live like this.’

Cheon Do-woon sat next to Dodak and enjoyed the leisurely time.

That peace was broken by Kim Na-ri approaching from behind.

“This, this is…! Dodaki’s sand bath…!”

Kim Na-ri, who arrived late, looked at Dodak with wide eyes.

“There is a parasol.”

Kim Na-ri’s eyes fluttered as she looked at the parasol with the leaves. She also looked at the pool next to it.

“There’s a swimming pool too. Did the old man make it?”

“yes.”

“Wow, that’s great. The scenery is nice. This is… This is! I’m feeling inspired right now!”

Kim Na-ri set up her easel on the beach. Without hesitation, she picked up a yellow crayon.

“Green!”

Kim Na-ri drew a picture of Dodak, a sand bather. She also drew Cheon Do-woon and his siblings sitting next to her.

The mini swimming pool and clothesline that serve as the backdrop were also not left out.

“Wow! I think it’ll make a good picture!”

Kim Na-ri, whose soul as an artist was on fire, moved the crayon quickly.

The title of the painting was also written on the paper.

『The Coconut Family’s Daily Life』

I would like to hold an exhibition of the paintings I made on this island in the future.

Kim Na-ri thought with a serious face.

Every time he moved his hand, a picture like an ancient mural was drawn on the drawing paper.

* * *

It was three hours later that we set off for the White Swamp.

Cheon Do-woon woke up at Dodak’s wake-up time.

“Dodak’s clothes are all dry too. This is perfect.”

He dressed Dodak.

Since it was a beach, we also equipped a tube just in case.

By putting the dodak in the fanny pack, you are ready to go find the white swamp.

“Then shall we go? Just follow Seok Woo-hyeok as a guide. Nam Ki-seok and No. 49 are sparring with the chimeras.”

“Well, if we go together… .”

“No. You guys are sparring.”

The two were in despair. They had expected to rest under the pretense of finding a swamp.

“Sir, I want to follow you. I want to see the swamp that will cure the swamp.”

“Really? Then Kim Na-ri, follow me.”

Kim Na-ri was granted permission right away.

The grassroots that Kim Na-ri carries around on her back also automatically participates.

“We’ll stay here. We don’t want any accidents to happen during the sparring. We need someone to watch over us.”

The siblings decided to stay. This decided the expedition to find the swamp.

“Where is that swamp now?”

“It’s the West Mountain. It’s moved from the place I first saw it.”

Seok Woo-hyuk ran ahead. The place they arrived at was halfway up the mountain.

“I feel it around here… Ah. It’s over there.”

Where Seok Woo-hyuk pointed, white mud was spread out widely.

About 2 meters wide. The pure white swamp looked like it was covered in snow at first glance.

As Cheon Do-un approached, the swamp began to move and ripple.

‘It looks like it’s running away. Is it alive?’

It wouldn’t be strange if there was a living swamp inside the gate.

Cheon Do-un pressed the perimeter of the swamp with Mana. As his body was pressed, the swamp stopped moving.

“It doesn’t look dangerous, but I don’t know if it’s the same type of swamp that Gu-u saw.”

Cheon Do-woon looked at the swamp and dipped one hand in it.

“Sir, what are you doing?”

“Let’s check if it’s alive. If it is, it will melt my hand and try to eat it.”

In this way, the formless monster wrapped its prey in its body and ate it.

It dissolves and ingests hydrochloric acid by spraying it throughout the body.

I put my hand in and waited to check it.

Although it seemed like a crazy action to others, Seok Woo-hyuk and Kim Na-ri were not flustered.

“What do you think, Master?”

“There is no movement to eat. However, there is a reaction of exploring my hand.”

“That means….”

“This swamp is alive.”

There is a biological response. The moment I thought that, my fanny pack started to shake.

-Huh?

Dodaki popped his head out of the bag. His eyes widened at the sight of the white swamp.

-Ouch, oh yeah!

Dodak jumped out of the bag and ran towards the swamp. He sat down in front of the swamp and dipped both feet into the swamp.

It happened without even a moment for Cheon Do-woon to stop it.

“Oh, sir. The toad has reached the swamp. Are you okay?”

“It’s okay. There was no reaction like trying to melt and eat what it touched. I didn’t feel any hostility either.”

However, Dodak’s reaction was something that even Cheon Do-woon did not expect.

Mandragora is a very cautious species. As soon as it saw the swamp, it ran to it. It even dipped its feet in it.

That means he knew that this white swamp was safe.

‘Have you ever seen this kind of swamp in the snowy mountains?’

Whatever it was, judging from the reaction, the swamp’s ingredients weren’t bad.

“Dodak’s reaction is like that too. It seems like the safety of the swamp has been confirmed. We’ll have to wait and see if it has the healing power that Gu-u mentioned.”

Cheon Do-woon took his hand out of the swamp. That was when something strange happened to Dodak.

-Phew…!

Dodaki raised his arm and shook it.

A cluster of three fruits formed on top of the leaves of the tree.

Cheon Do-woon was surprised by the sudden phenomenon.

It was unusual for a mandragora to bear fruit in front of others.

The changes didn’t stop there.

-Phew… Yeah!

Dodaki shook his body from side to side. As if in response, new shoots on his back began to grow.

The new shoots that had been curled up like horns spread out in an instant.

The leaves spread out to the left and right like wings.

It was a leaf much larger than the one that Cheon Do-un had on his head.

-Huh?

Dodaki looked at his own back. When he saw the leaves growing on his back, he jumped up.

Dodaki shook the dirt off his pants. He pulled up his Aloha shirt to smooth out the wrinkles.

Dodak, who had finished getting dressed, looked at Cheon Do-woon.

-Ugh.

Dodaki pointed to Cheon Do-un with the root of his arm.

-Whew!

He hit his torso with the base of his arm.

-Ouch, oh yeah!

Two leaves growing on his back fluttered.

“Sir. It seems like Dodak is saying something. What is it?”

“Well, that’s… .”

I didn’t bring Joseph’s communication medicine, but I could guess it well from his current gestures.

“I have wings. That’s what it seems to be saying.”

Cheon Do-un’s interpretation was accurate.

Helper. I too have wings. The hawk moved the leaves that grew on both sides.

Flapping, fluttering. It looked like wings were flapping. The leaves sparkled depending on the angle.

-Whew!

Jim has become like a helper. Dodak shouted, raising his staff.
