EPISODE.63
“Ukkigeek, that’s an excellent decision. lily-!”
The monkey beastman, who introduced himself as Kinta, jumped from branch to branch.
The movement skills using the arms and legs, which were much longer than those of humans, and the tail, were at a level that could be called a feat in themselves.
‘That… … It must be difficult to imitate.’
Russell, who was wondering if he could possibly apply the guy’s movements to La Mancha, shook his head.
I clicked my tongue lightly, realizing once again that it was impossible.
“Among the beast people living on the coast, none have feet as wide as our ape-man people. And doesn’t having wide feet mean you know the area well?”
As if he wasn’t tired, Kinta kept teasing me with his tongue.
“Among the ape-man tribes, there are few people in this area who know geography better than me!”
Russell snorted softly at the sight of the guy pounding his chest and shouting confidently.
‘It’s not even funny.’
If you call yourself a guide, you should first ask where the destination is.
But instead of asking for it, they just continue to drag it into the forest by showing off in vain.
‘Unless you’re more interested in Jet Bob than me, tsk.’
Of course, the reason she hung out with him even though she knew that was because she also wanted something from him.
“First of all, if you just trust me and follow me… … .”
Repeating what I said. I walked for about ten minutes, following the guy who was talking randomly.
Russell, who soon confirmed that he had entered the forest to some extent, stopped.
Stand tall.
Kinta, who was ahead of him, looks back and tilts his head.
“I’ll be better-?”
“So, when do you plan to start talking about the main topic?”
Kinta’s face immediately hardened at those words.
Then, the corners of his mouth seemed to turn upward, and a lot of wrinkles spread across his monkey-like face.
Where had the good intentions he had been pretending to be gone? His face was filled with nothing but greed and meanness.
“Since when did you know this, right?”
“From the beginning.”
“Whssssssssssssssss-?”
“I knew it from the beginning.”
Russell rolled his eyes.
behind yourself.
I caught the small sound of tree branches and leaves swaying, and used my thumb to point to that direction.
“Even before you entered the forest, your friends were following you, right? “If you chase me so openly, it’s impossible not to notice.”
“No way… … .”
Kinta muttered in disbelief.
He and his friends are not newbies and have already successfully committed robberies several times.
In the process, no one noticed that their friends were following them.
But this young human noticed that the ape-man was following?
And in a forest, not a city?
‘No, they must have made some mistake.’
Otherwise, would there be any way that humans would notice what they were doing?
Thinking like that, Kinta brought his thumb and index finger towards his mouth.
“Tsk, I was thinking of pulling you in a little further in if possible, but ok. I can’t help it. “Ukkigeek.”
Ppaaeak-!
At the same time as he whistled with his mouth, he took out a span-long dagger from his chest and grabbed it.
Ssut-.
“Whoosh, whoosh.”
Cheokcheokcheok-.
“Wookkkkkkkkkkkk-.”
At the same time, five ape-men appeared behind Russell.
Everyone is holding a tree branch with one hand, and each person is holding a dagger with the other hand.
“You’re pretty quick to notice, but I’ll give you one last chance because you look young. Squeak.”
“… … ?”
“Take off everything you are wearing. Squeak. “If you leave behind all the silver and gold coins you have, I will spare your life.”
The one who received Kinta’s words was one of the five apes in the back.
“At least let me go back wearing underwear. “Wookie kick.”
Do you believe in the ability of the human body to be superior to that of an ordinary human being, or do you believe in a number as high as six?
They didn’t seem to care about their defeat at all.
Russell lashed out at them.
“Tsk.”
He clicked his tongue and said.
“I don’t know how the pirates I met at sea, and you guys, make a living off of plunder with that kind of mentality.”
“Whssssssssssssssss-?”
“You guys’ heads are empty. “You stupid bastards.”
Russell also worked as a freelancer before returning.
In the process, I also learned some foul language. However, I just held back because there was no need to reveal it recently.

“Wow, this bastard-!!”
The moment Kinta, enraged by the direct provocation, was about to shout and jump out, Russell cut him off.
“Don’t you know what it means to walk all the way here on your own, even though you clearly know it’s a trap?”
“W-wh-wh-?”
Perhaps only then did they understand what he meant, and the unrest spread among the Yuan people.
“It’s late, you assholes.”
Regardless, a bright blue thunderbolt leapt between Russell’s fingers.
Pajijijit-!
A lightning bolt extending into six branches.
The blue lightning instantly cleared the darkness of the forest and defeated the Ape-men.
A deathly sound echoed throughout the quiet forest.
“Ukkiiiiiiiik-!”
“Oof!”
* * *
Exactly fifteen minutes later.
At Russell’s feet, a total of six Ape people were standing with their knees up and their hands up.
Perhaps because he was hit hard by lightning magic, the hair on his entire body stood up and there was still soot.
Nevertheless, the fact that he only suffered such a minor injury could only be attributed to Russell controlling the power of his magic.
‘You can’t kill them.’
Although he felt bad about committing a robbery, he also had something he wanted to ask.
Moreover, there was a reason why such a cumbersome procedure was necessary.
‘It was said that the foundation of the Kuril Islands ruled by Muyaho was self-respect for the strong.’
It was a lifestyle typical of those who inherited the blood of animals with a wild nature at the base of their reason.
If you show your skills like this, you probably won’t be able to lie outright or try to deceive yourself.
The proof of this was that the subject’s body was damaged by lightning magic, and even while he was observing, his gaze was filled with admiration.
Russell opened his mouth calmly while receiving their gaze.
“… … Did you say Kinta?”
“yes. Yes. Squeak. This is Kinta. “I’ll get better.”
Perhaps because he had experienced such a sharp difference in his skills, he ended up saying that he would get better again.
“I want to ask you a few things. First of all, are you, the Aborigine tribe, the tribe with the widest feet in this area?”
All six ape-men nodded in response to Russell’s question.
“of course. I’ll get better. “Ukkigeek!”
“I don’t know if it’s inside the island, but outside of the island, I don’t think there are people with feet as wide as our people.”
The answer you wanted.
“hmm.”
Russell, who briefly fell asleep, took out a map from his pocket and placed it in front of the guys.
It was a map of the Kuril Islands.
“On this map, how many places do you know for sure?”
The guys exchanged glances at Russell’s question and then slowly lowered their hands. Next, each person marked the area they knew little by little with their fingers.
“Ooh, ooh squeak. “I know everything from here to here.”
“I go from here to here, Ukkigeek-.”
The six aborigines muttered about the areas they each knew, and Russell, who had put them all together, stroked his chin.
‘Hmm, roughly one sixth of the outskirts.’
Considering that the size of the Kuril Islands is almost the size of a small country, it was not a small area at all.
“Then, is there a place among these where a river of flame flows over a river of ice?”
The six ape-men all blinked in unison. Was there such a place? After thinking about it for a moment, the guys exchanged glances and stormed off.
Soon, Kinta, their representative, shrugged his shoulders and muttered.
“Well, I’ve never heard of a place like that. I’ll be better. “Ukkigeek.”
“You never know, so why don’t you think about it again?”
I asked that question, but nothing much changed. However, if there is one income gained -.
‘There is no place where lava flows on the outskirts of the island.’
As previously explained, the Kuril Islands were islands created through volcanic activity.
In such a situation, there was nothing other than flowing lava that could be called a river of flames.
“Do we have no choice but to keep going into the island?”
Kinta’s eyes fluttered as he heard the muttering.
“Are you planning on going deeper? Will I get better?”
“Is that not possible?”
When Russell tilted his head to the side, the boy stuttered and continued.
“Well, there are warrior tribes living inside… … .”
The warrior tribe refers to the beast people who inherited the blood of wild beasts.
Not the gentle tribes that live on the outskirts of the island. The Ronin people (狼人族), who inherited the blood of wolves, and the Tiger people (虎人族), who inherited the blood of tigers.
And so on and so forth… … .
“I know very well that you are not normal, Ukkigeek, but those guys are still a bit dangerous… … Squeak.”
I couldn’t help but laugh.
He went as far as robbing me to give me money, and now I’m actually worried.
Of course, Russell didn’t bother to point out that part.
Instead, I asked a question that was puzzling.
“Even if it’s dangerous, they wouldn’t enjoy eating human flesh, right?”
“That’s true, but they’re so belligerent, right?”
The explanation continued that since they respect the strong and have belligerence, it is not surprising if they fight anytime and anywhere.
But what can you do?
The only way to find traces of the dragon would be to go inside the island.
There it is.
‘You didn’t come here without knowing this situation, right?’
Isn’t that why you visited the Kuril Islands only after achieving the 6th circle?
“… … .”
Russell shrugged his shoulders and continued walking down that path.
The destination was deeper in the forest, inside the island.
* * *
They arrived about three days after Russell entered the Kuril Islands.
After preparing for camping, Russell, who had been lying down in the tent, quietly opened his eyes.
I raised my body and slowly expanded my senses.
Crackle, crackle-.
The sound of the bonfire burning outside the tent, the sound of the wind blowing through the tree branches.
The sounds of unknown grass bugs and wild birds, etc.
Among the sounds that were nothing special, there was a group of signs approaching towards them.
‘You’re here…’ … .’
Russell got up at the sight and walked out of the tent.
The curved moonlight falls arrogantly on Russell’s head.
Russell smacked his lips in the moonlight.
“Why don’t you come out now?”
A low but clear voice spread throughout the area, cutting through the cold night air.
With that, a group of people slowly approached.
Thump, thump, thump-.
Perhaps because their stealth was discovered, the ground rumbled without concealing its presence in the slightest.
A massive feeling of weight was conveyed through the earth. The agile beastmen are a presence that can never be seen.
‘When it comes to large beastmen, they are lions, tigers, or… … .’
thud-.
Soon their appearance was revealed in the falling moonlight.
The first brother, Vermilion Ulsen, was so huge that it seemed as if he had multiplied into many, with rounded horns growing on both sides of his head.
Russell, who figured out their identity, turned to them and asked.
“Why did the buffalo beastmen come to see me this night?”
wizard who swallowed a dragon
