Chapter 119: Danger and Trap of Wilderness<hr>


    We decided to head to the Deep Red Wilderness. The members are Gray, Kotetsu, Byakuya, Darley and Kitsuneko. Why did I choose Gray? Because he seems to be close to evolving. Besides, in an uncharted field, Gray''s presence gives me a sense of security.


    I get on Darley and move to match the speed of Kitsuneko.


    Move while kicking away the Gray Wolves. Naturally, Kitsuneko and Darley are leveling up. It feels good.


    We arrived at the Deep Red Wilderness. The scenery is just as the name suggests. The ground is a crimson color.


    This would most likely be red soil. Hephaestus used to use bricks in his workshop. We''ll probably get it. It looks like we''ll be able to deliver a new souvenir to Hephaestus.


    But it seems that this ce is dangerous. Gray senses something.


    What is it? I look at Gray and something smoky is approaching...wait a minute! No way!


    "Everyone! Gather around me!"


    At mymand, everyone gathers. I cast an Earth Wall. But one card is not enough. Please! Please, just in time!


    Just in time, five earth walls. They blocked us on all sides and above us. Thank God we had an earth wall against an earth wall.


    Then a terrible impact hit them. It was a good thing that the earth wall blocked it, but if it had been a direct hit, we wouldn''t have survived...


    What hit us was a sandstorm. Normally, sandstorms ur in deserts, but if the wilderness is a desert, it''s not surprising that a sandstorm would hit here...this is the first time I''ve encountered a natural disaster in this game.


    I mean, is there a natural phenomenon in this game? I mean, it''s never even rained before...


    "Huu...Gray, I''m surprised you noticed"


    "Gau"


    I feel like Gray is telling me to leave it to him. I''ve been really helped by Gray.


    Now, I have to get off Darley and release the earth walls. When I go outside, it''s the original field. Is this what a sandstorm looks like? I thought there would be sand covering the whole area, but it''s just a normal wilderness.


    As I checked my surroundings, I spotted a being poking out of the ground. I couldn''t identify it in time, but it was a meerkat. Was it a summon monster? It''s the first time for a character to dive into the ground.


    I guess it''s no use if it got away...I''ll meet it again sometime.


    "Gaa!"


    Gray warns of danger. This time


    Both my feet suddenly sink into the ground. It''s a pitfall. And why is it that only my feet are caught in the pit?


    It''s simple...if I only drop both feet, my crotch will naturally hit the ground...I regretted getting off Darley so much.


    Hey...wait...terrible...painful...


    As I was screaming in agony, I saw several shadowsughing at me. Meerkats. I seeded in identifying them.


    <b>Meerkat Lv10</b>


    <b>Tame Monster Subjugation Monster Active</b>


    I also attacked Arthur in the crotch so I won''t me them. Ah, I won''t me them...I''ll definitely kill them!


    The Meerkats, sensing my murderous intent, hurriedly dove for the ground. Now, how to kill the enemy hiding in the ground...


    "Everyone split up and wait at the entrance of the hole


    I had everyone wait in front of the exit, the Meerkat entrance. Then let''s roast them.


    "Tremor!"


    There is a slight earthquake. Now, how about meeting an earthquake underground?


    Meerkats rush out of the hole.


    "Wee!"


    The Meerkats rush to the ground to escape, but unfortunately I can''t let them go after they''ve done so much damage to a person''s crotch.


    "Poison!"


    I poisoned the Meerkat I caught and killed it intact. Everyone else seems to have done the same. That''s great.


    Everyone except Gray and I leveled up. And then came the info I wanted.


    Darley''s level has reached 8. Evolution is possible


    Then, let''s check the evolution destination of ordinary horses.


    <b>Lake Horse</b>


    <b>Thoroughbred</b>


    There are two types. I''ve already made up my mind, but let''s take a look at the description.


    <b>Lake Horse...a pale horse that lives in ake. It can run on water and manipte water magic. The horse is loved by the water, but it cannot dive underwater.</b>


    Oh! It can run on water! It would be exhrating to run on the sea with this thing. If we get attacked by a monster, we''ll probably die together, though.


    Now for the real deal.


    <b>Thoroughbred...a light stallion that specializes in speed. When used in conjunction with its skills, it boasts tremendous speed. It can only attack with its body, but it has a special ability that can only be used against horsemen.</b>


    It''s not the best at attacking, but the buff effect on its rider is nice!


    I''m also curious about Lake Horse. It can run on water, and its water magic is interesting, but the problem is the unicorn. Unicorns are famous for their ability to purify water. So it''s quite possible that the Lake Horse, which is loved by water, will be the one to evolve, but I''ve heard that the road to bing a unicorn is tough...so let''s just say there won''t be any horse-to-horse synthesis!


    That''s why Darley has evolved into a Thoroughbred as nned!


    He looks a little bigger now, doesn''t he? It looks like Darley can handle two people. I''m relieved. And the new skill is strengthened horsemanship! But I''m sad that I don''t have any horsebat skills...well, I''m sure it will be strengthened just by riding.


    I think so as I dismantle the Meerkats.


    It''s a nasty monster...probably a trap setter like Aranea. It set up a pitfall trap and I got caught in the middle of it...I guess Gray is a must in this field.


    The result of the dismantling was that iron ore was dropped. Not a very high chance, but I''m d nheless. I''d like to prioritize hunting them, but now that I know the horror of traps...I''ll just hunt them as I find them.<hr>
