rather good
Two Hasids quickly flew up to the wall where Kim Jin-seong was standing.
“Good. “If you do this, you won’t have to go through the trouble of climbing the wall.”
When Kim Jin-seong was muttering to himself while looking at the Hasid.
Sigh!
The sound of a Hasid was heard as it closed its beak with all its might to bite Kim Jin-seong.
But it was a failure.
Just before he could bite, Kim Jin-seong disappeared into the cliff, and Hasid’s teeth accidentally hit the cliff.
‘uh? It’s gone again!’
‘What is it really?’
The participants who were watching opened their eyes in surprise once again.
However, Hwang Yun-taek, who knew the identity, was not surprised.
‘You hid in the shadows again.’
Kim Jin-seong probably waited for the Hasid to arrive right nearby. This is because then he can use skills in Hasid’s shadow.
Kim Jin-seong did not intentionally create a dangerous situation, but waited until the shadow came.
‘Now if only the Hasid flies over the cliff on the other side, he will pass through here.’
Hwang Yun-taek thought as he looked at the Hasids who were still wandering around the inside of the cliff looking for Kim Jin-seong’s location.
It is obvious that someday those man-eating birds will give up looking for Kim Jin-seong and fly up into the sky again, and then the shadow will naturally move to the cliff on the other side.
‘···Anyway, now isn’t the time to just watch me, right??’
Hwang Yun-taek looked back.
Before he knew it, he noticed that the flames had reached the nearby area.
There really isn’t much time left now.
‘I can’t do this. If you hide your abilities until the end, I will die from suffocation from smoke before that happens.’
Hwang Yun-taek had no choice but to put his palms together, face the sky, and collect mana.
Soon, a large ‘mana falcon’ was created on his palm.
‘uh? Mana Hawk…?’
‘That bastard was a 1-1 defender?!’
When some of the participants saw this, their eyes lit up, but Hwang Yun-taek tried to ignore it and sent the mana bird flying down the cliff.
‘Would you really fight in such an urgent situation? We didn’t fight all day even on the valley side…’
While thinking this to himself, Hwang Yun-taek was controlling the mana bird while constantly glancing around to prepare for any possible threats.
Fortunately, none of those staring at him posed any more of a threat.
The staring gaze quickly disappeared.
thud!
This was because everyone turned their gaze towards the back of the cliff where the sound of a tree burning and falling was heard.
They looked anxious and didn’t know what to do.
‘Hi… the forest fire is already nearby!’
‘What should I do? Should I really jump down the valley…?’
‘Have you found a new path with Mana Mae yet?’
Some people’s gaze at Hwang Yun-taek changed to one that seemed to want to grasp at straws.
The situation has become more urgent.
After seeing that no one had any intention of attacking, Hwang Yun-taek was relieved and began to focus only on controlling the Mana Hawk.
‘Maintaining a low altitude flight to be as invisible as possible to the sight of man-eating birds…’
The Mana Hawk began flying down the cliff at high speed while maintaining an altitude of 50 meters below the cliff.
That was after scouting for about 5 more minutes.
‘uh?!’
Hwang Yun-taek’s eyes widened.
A huge old tree that seemed to have been created naturally was discovered near a place 40 meters down from the cliff that can be reached by moving a long way to the left.
‘It’s so big!’
It seemed to be the biggest tree Hwang Yun-taek had ever seen in his life.
It was so big that the tree branches growing wide above reached the ends of the cliffs on both sides.
‘If I step on that tree branch, I can cross it, right?’
Hwang Yun-taek quickly controlled the Mana Hawk and took a closer look at the cliff side.
Fortunately, there was a section nearby that seemed to have a slightly lower slope. It seemed like you could go down there with just your two feet as long as you were careful.
‘let’s go!’
He immediately stopped using the Mana Hawk skill and started running to the left at high speed.
Several participants who knew his identity reacted to that appearance.
‘Why is it suddenly running to the left?’
‘There’s no way that guy who thinks so terribly about his own life will just move…?’
‘Did you by any chance find something with the Mana Hawk?’
They looked at Hwang Yun-taek’s receding back with suspicion.
‘Let’s just follow along!’
‘It’s better than standing here blankly!’
As expected, he started running after Hwang Yun-taek.
As a few people moved like that, the hearts of the other remaining participants also began to shake.
Crowd psychology came into play.
‘what? ‘Why is everyone going to the left?’
‘Look what’s there! ‘Let’s go!’

After a while, a real scene began to appear with all the remaining participants running to the left, following Hwang Yun-taek.
* * *
[Huh? The players start running to the left as a group! It looks like you are running after Hwang Yun-taek?]
[I think Hwang Yun-taek felt that he had found the way… Fortunately, I made the right decision.]
[That’s right! In fact, unless you are a player with special abilities like Yoon A-ram or Kim Jin-seong, the only way to cross the cliff in a normal way is to use that old tree!]
Soon, it was a caster broadcasting while watching TV broadcasting the image of the old tree that Hwang Yun-taek had discovered.
At that time, the female producer sitting in the monitor room opened her mouth.
“Wow, but isn’t the tree really big? “I’ve never seen a tree that big in my life.”
“I know. “Is this a tree that grew naturally?”
The person who answered everyone’s questions was Baekjun, the CEO sitting behind him.
“This is a tree transplanted from the island of Selepo, where the finals are held this time.”
“ah!”
“It’s a New World tree! no wonder···!”
Only then did the monitor room staff nod their heads.
It is understandable that the plants of Selepo, a new continent with a completely different ecosystem from that of ordinary Earth, would be larger than that.
In fact, there is a saying that the smallest creature in the New World is a human.
“Seeing that makes me look forward to the finals even more?”
“I know. “We only planned it through 3D simulation, but we’ve never actually been to the island… huh?”
While talking, the main producer’s eyes widened.
Among the numerous monitors, Kim Jin-seong appeared on the screen in the far corner.
After checking Kim Jin-seong’s surroundings, the PD urgently shouted.
“Kim Jin-seong entered the secret passage! “Send monitor number 97 quickly!”
As soon as the PD shouted, the TV screen began showing the secret passageway where Kim Jin-seong appeared.
At that time, the caster was receiving instructions from the PD through earphones in his ears.
[···Ah yes. As I speak, Kim Jin-seong has entered a secret passage!]
[Oh~! This time, I was curious who would discover the secret passage that the production team ambitiously created, and Jinseong Kim discovered it.]
[That’s right! A secret passage that becomes a hot topic every time the preliminaries are held! I will guide you there right now.]
* * *
“It’s a cave.”
At that time, Kim Jin-seong, who had entered the secret passage, was looking around.
The cave was quite large, and for some reason, the entire wall looked too clean to be believed to have been created naturally.
‘Is it by any chance that there is at least one secret passage in the preliminaries?’
Kim Jin-seong, who recalled the memory of seeing it on TV, could not help but naturally have expectations.
‘Well, unless it’s a secret passage, how could there be an entrance in such a hard-to-find place?’
Jinseong Kim looked back toward the entrance.
The entrance to the cave, which can be found only after descending approximately 70 meters from the cliff, was covered with lush grass and did not let in much light.
The location is also the same, and even if you reach a nearby location, it is difficult to find it with the naked eye unless you observe properly.
‘I wouldn’t have found it if I wasn’t lucky.’
He also discovered this place by chance while following the moving shadow of a Hasid as he flew.
At first, I was annoyed because Hasid didn’t fly over the cliff right away, but now I’m thankful.
‘There are always incredibly good items waiting at the end of the secret passage…’
Kim Jin-seong started walking inside the cave with a pounding heart.
But after a while, he had no choice but to stop.
‘Wow… plant monsters are amazing.’
The sight of numerous gigantic plants moving strangely on all sides of the wall.
Just looking at it, it didn’t look like Kim Jin-seong would just let him go into the cave.
‘Yes, it has to be at this level to be called a secret passage.’
It is said that patience is bitter and its fruit is sweet.
Wouldn’t it be more rewarding to go through this much trouble to get good items?
‘And it’s nice to get points too.’
Kim Jin-seong pulled out his sword, activated his magic energy, and rushed at the nearest plant.
The vine-shaped plant, which was self-luminous with green light, opened its flower-shaped mouth and spewed out green powder as soon as Kim Jin-seong approached.
At the same time, the thick stem of the plant monster was cut cleanly away with a clean cutting sound.
▶ You have defeated the monster.
▶ Obtained 30 Vis Creama points.
▶ You can acquire ‘Poison Powder’, the skill of the opponent monster.
▷ Poison Powder: Sprinkle green poison powder on the opponent to make them poisoned. The poisoned opponent steadily takes damage every second until it is detoxified. Consumes 100 mana.
▶ Would you like to delete the existing skill to acquire the ‘Poison Powder’ skill?
‘Eek!’
As soon as he saw the notification window, Jinseong Kim jumped backwards as fast as he could to avoid the green powder.
But it was a little late.
▶ The status abnormality is ‘poisoned’.
▶ It takes a steady amount of damage every second until it is decrypted.
‘Tsk!’
Kim Jin-seong is feeling sad inside. She thought she had completely dodged it, but it turns out that wasn’t the case.
Kim Jin-seong had no choice but to use the ‘Unobstructable Charge’ skill.
▶ The ‘Unobstructable Charge’ skill was used.
▶ I have become immune to a physical condition.
▶ The status abnormality ‘poisoning’ has been cured.
‘Now that it’s like this, let’s kill other plant monsters within one minute.’
Consuming 100 mana like this is still quite a burden for Jinseong Kim.
So I tried to save on skill use as much as possible, but since I had no choice but to use it, I now have to make the most of the remaining minute.
Jinseong Kim rushed towards another plant monster growing nearby.
As soon as Kim Jin-seong approached, the plant monster, which was the same gray color as the surrounding rock wall, held out its stems with flowers like both palms.
Gray powder is seen spewing out from the stamen part.
Kim Jin-seong did not intentionally dodge, but swung his sword while being covered in powder.
This time, Kim Jin-seong’s sword cut off the stem in one go.
At the same time, a notification window appeared.
▶ You have defeated the monster.
▶ Obtained 30 Vis Creama points.
▶ You can acquire ‘Petrification Powder’, the skill of the opponent monster.
▷ Petrification Powder: Sprinkle gray petrification powder on the opponent. An opponent hit by petrification powder will have all their actions slowed by 10% every second, and after 10 seconds, they will be completely petrified and all actions will stop for 30 seconds. Consumes 100 mana.
▶ Because you are immune to physical ailments, you will not be affected by the ailment ‘Petrification’.
‘This guy is the one who sprinkles petrifying powder.’
Jinseong Kim looked inside the cave.
These two plant monsters appeared to be close to each other until about 50 meters into the field of view.
The number of visible plant monsters is approximately 30.
‘Rather good.’
In this way, you can collect at least 1000 Vis Crimea points. Then you can open a new skill slot.
‘If I do well, I might be able to obtain both the Poison Powder and Petrification Powder skills?’
If there were more plant monsters inside this cave than the number currently visible, it seemed possible to register skills in more than one state without having to worry about deleting existing skills.
‘Then shall we start practicing medicine?’
Jinseong Kim looked around at the plant monsters.
Then it rushed towards the plant monsters in front of it again.
‘Shut up and hunt’, a word often used in RPG games, started in real life.
