The Return of the Genius Farmer - Chapter 193

Episode 193

97. I saw the arena – 1

It wasn’t the first time I’d seen monsters fight.

Aren’t there monsters in the forest right now?

However, the reason why Lee Han and his group stopped walking was because the fight was literally fun.

“Good job! Good job!”

“What are you going to do when you wag your tail like that over there?”

A monster that looked like a scorpion and a monster that looked like a scarab were fighting.

The explanation was disappointing when the scorpion monster’s attempt to stab the scarab monster with its long, sharp stinger failed.

“Go! Beetle! Body slam!!”

Luna’s shout next to the explanation made the scarab monster rush in.

Could it be that they didn’t expect the attack of the scarab beetle that charged forward using its hard shell as a shield?

The scorpion monster couldn’t hide its bewilderment and was hit by the attack.

-Kudangtang!

It was the moment when the scorpion monster that had been lying on the ground was about to raise its body.

This was because the scarab monster, which had risen into the air, used its size and weight to strike down the scorpion monster.

-Ughhhhhhhhhhhhh!!

The scorpion monster’s screams of pain echoed.

But the scarab monster did not stop.

He grabbed the scorpion monster with his four legs and jumped into the air again, slamming it to the ground.

“Ohhhhhh!!”

“That’s cool!”

Luna and Seolhyun were excited.

The two watched the fight while eating cookies and drinks made by Lee Han.

The fight was reaching a climax.

The scorpion monster, which had been flying through the air several times, was staggering as it fell to the ground.

Of course, the scarab beetle also looked tired.

However, it was an undeniable fact that the scarab monster seemed to have the advantage thanks to its successful attack.

“Go! Beetle!”

“Not yet! There is light in the scorpion’s eyes!!”

A rush from the scarab beetle to strike the final blow.

If you hit it, the scorpion monster will be finished.

That’s why the scorpion monster didn’t hesitate.

“Ohhhhhh!!”

“Hey, it’s the counter!!”

The scorpion monster swung its sharp tail at the rushing beetle monster.

The scarab monster’s head gets stuck in it and the scarab monster dies.

But that doesn’t mean the scorpion monster was okay.

The scarab beetle’s charge still had power,

The scorpion monster, exhausted beyond belief, was unable to block the attack.

“It’s a draw!”

The two slowly collapsing monsters sag.

In the end, the fight between the monsters ended in a double KO.

But from the perspective of a spectator, it was just fun.

“Hehehe. Did you guys have fun?”

A few were moving towards the fallen monsters.

Seol-i, Luna, and Lee Han didn’t show any particular reaction.

Because their presence was noticed from the beginning.

And it was the same for them too.

If Lee Han and his party had tried to interfere in the monsters’ fight, they would have tried to stop them, but since they were just watching, they didn’t show any particular reaction.

But now that the fight is over, things are different.

“We brought the scarab monster.”

“okay?”

“It’s still quiet even after seeing a fairy.”

“Because I’ve worked with fairies before.”

The one who came in front of Lee Han and his group and smiled brightly was a monkey named Suin.

With a mischievous expression on his face, he glanced at his comrades as they collected materials from the corpses of the monsters.

“As I said before, we brought the scarab beetle with us. So… … .”

“Don’t worry, I won’t ask for any ingredients.”

“Hehehe. Everyone likes people who don’t covet other people’s things.”

It seems that he was worried that Lee Han and his group might covet the monster’s ingredients.

He smiled broadly and held out his hand.

“Call me Wukong.”

“This is Lee Han. And this is Seol-hyeop, and this guy is Luna.”

“Nice to meet you.”

“Nice to meet you~!”

“Nice to meet you. As you can see, I am a monkey-man and… … Ah. Let’s talk comfortably. By the way, a fairy and a talking cat? What an interesting combination. And what race are you?”

“You’re human.”

“Humans?! Didn’t humans go extinct a long time ago?”

“He’s a human from another world.”

“Ohhhhhhh… … That’s amazing. A different world.”

There was a mixture of admiration and gaze towards Lee Han.

But that’s all.

Wukong scratched his head and looked at his comrades. Their gaze was directed here.

It was a look like, “Why aren’t you helping?”

“Anyway. You seem to be interested in fighting monsters. If it’s okay with you, would you like to move with us?”

“why?”

“I’m going to have more monster fights. The next fight will be fun.”

Lee Han looked at Seol-i and Luna.

Both seem interesting.

In that case, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to go together.

When he gave his permission, Goku smiled and ran to his companions.

After collecting the necessary materials from the scorpion and scarab monsters and taking out the magic stone, the monsters’ corpses disappear into smoke.

After finishing all the work, everyone came towards Lee Han and his group.

The companions of the monkey-man Wukong were not made up solely of the water race.

“Nice to meet you. My name is Lucin.”

The goat-man, Lucin, spoke while stroking his white beard, and the dark-haired elf next to him snickered.

“It’s Louvard.”

The last to greet us was a sturdy woman with two horns.

The female warrior, who appeared to be two heads taller than Lee Han and had a build that was comparable to that of the Suin tribe, laughed heartily and revealed her sharp fangs.

“I never thought I’d see a human here. Nice to meet you. Tell me Tara. I’m an Ogre.”

This is my first time seeing the Ogre tribe.

When Lee Han looked at her as if she was curious, she burst into hearty laughter.

“It’s strange to be human, but a human from another world. The Ogres will celebrate when they see you. If you go to the Sanctuary of Knowledge later, tell me. Tell me to meet the guys I know well. I’ll be kind to you.”

“Thanks for that. But where are you guys going?”

“We’re heading northeast from here. Our target is Void City, a city near the Tarban Mountains. You guys?”

“We’re going that way too.”

“Well then, that’s good. Come with us. Is this your first time in the East? If a human comes to the East, there’s no way that word won’t spread.”

“That’s right. This is my first time in the East.”

“Judging from the direction, it seems like they came from a city ruled by the Black House. The Black House said they were going to the West, but have they already returned? It looks like they came with them.”

That’s correct.

Goku quickly made a decision and shrugged his shoulders.

It didn’t matter how Lee Han came.

“Let’s go. And you guys, it’s dangerous, so watch from behind.”

“Okay, I got it.”

It didn’t seem particularly dangerous, but there was no reason not to be considerate. They chuckled as the explanation made them laugh happily.

Goku and his party weren’t bad traveling companions.

They were a rather cheerful bunch, made up of different races.

“The first time we met was during a promotion match.”

“Do hunters take tests too?”

“Yes. The higher the rank of the hunters, the more dangerous areas they can enter. And the more quests they can receive, the better and more rewards they can get.”

“Anyway, when we first met back then, we both thought the same thing.”

“What are you thinking? We’re going to be a team?”

When Luna showed interest, Lucin chuckled.

Starting with him, Goku, Tara, and Rubad also start laughing, holding their stomachs.

“No. Let’s not get involved with these kids.”

“It was nothing short of spectacular. Do you know what Tara looked like when I first saw her? She was completely scared because she had failed two promotion matches and was like, ‘I can’t be relegated. I can’t be relegated.’”

“Who would say that? That guy, Lucin, was a magician who failed his magic at a previous party and no one would accept him.”

“Hey, Goku. What else do you know? You were on the verge of being demoted after beating up several clients.”

As the three chattered, Rubard smiled brightly.

“I was the only normal one among them.”

“You’re kidding. Hey, Rubard. You weren’t easy either, were you? You know what he was like? He was a debt collector, blowing up the guild-provided lab several times to create a new alchemy.”

In short, the story is that none of the four were normal.

If it was to that extent, I really didn’t want to get involved.

“And yet, you’re having a great party.”

“It just so happened. Since we passed the promotion match, we’ve gotten along so well that we’ve been hanging out together like this.”

“Has it already been about four years?”

“I’m sick of it.”

“I want to live my life doing experiments.”

Even though they were grumbling, I could still feel their affection for each other.

Luna, who was giggling at them, sat on Lee Han’s shoulder.

“You guys are just as unusual as we are. A fairy, a talking cat, and a human. How did you end up hanging out together?”

“Ah. We live together.”

“There are other guys in our family, but we’re the only ones who came to the East.”

“I see.”

While they were chatting leisurely, Rubad took something out one by one.

It was a lute.

When he suddenly took out an instrument, Seolhyun looked at it as if it was new to her, and he smiled proudly and said.

“Actually, we are hunters, but we are also bards. Void City is also a city where bards gather. I plan to perform there.”

“It looks like you’re doing pretty well, right?”

“Would you like to hear it?”

After a brief greeting, he plucks the lute and a beautiful sound rings out.

Tara opened her mouth and hummed along to it.

A delicate singing voice began to resonate, at odds with the rough and destructive-looking Tara.

“What’s that voice… … .”

Lee Han, Seol-hee, and Luna felt their ears being pleased.

She showed off her singing skills by freely moving between low and high notes, and then slowly finished the last verse by clearing her throat.

“how is it?”

“Good!”

“Don’t you know how to sing other songs?”

“I know how to sing, but I’m thirsty. It’s said that a bard’s song should be accompanied by alcohol. If you stop by the village and buy me a drink, I’ll sing another song.”

“If it’s alcohol, I can give it to you even now.”

“Oh~. That’s good. What is it?”

Lee Han pointed to one side of the cart.

Lee Han used Frost as the explanation moved and used telekinesis to move the barrel placed there.

“… … It’s beer?!”

The large barrel contained beer made by Lee Han.

Tara looked at the golden liquid with admiration and drank the beer in one gulp.

“Eww~! This tastes better than when I drank it in Dwarven City back in the old days!”

“What is it? Let me try some too.”

“Let us drink what you drank.”

“Friend. Good things are meant to be shared.”

Beer was poured into three glasses.

At first, they tilt their heads, then their eyes widen and they both inhale without saying who should go first.

“Puhaaaaaaa!”

“It’s so cool!”

“It’s the end!!”

Lee Han’s beer received favorable reviews.

Is that why?

Their eyes looking at Lee Han were full of goodwill.

“I’ve been treated to such good drinks, so I should sing a proper song. Hey. Wukong, Lu Xin. You guys, play your instruments too.”

“Ooh~.”

“okay.”

Wukong took out a small drum and Lu Xin picked up a flute.

They sang several songs while drinking beer after lightly tuning in.

Among them, there were songs that Luna and Seol knew, so they laughed and sang along, and that’s how they enjoyed their trip.

After traveling like that for several days, Lee Han called Wukong at a crossroads.

“Wukong. Where should I go from here?”

“There’s a city about three days to the right from here. If it’s your first time in the East, it might be a good idea to stop by there.”

“why?”

“There is an arena.”

The corners of Wukong’s mouth went up as he mentioned the arena.
