Hunter of the Perished World

[6] Monsters are Beasts (2)

A free city is a village where people voluntarily assemble without a ruler and form a free living system. While each of them made a living through commercial activities or agriculture, they were mostly highly commercial. That’s why the free city is the most visited and most open place for drifters. This highly populated environment has allowed the free city to be larger than any other village. That’s why in the free city, you could get anything from food, lodging, water, weapons, and cheap liquor. The free city serves as a middle supply point, so that hunters must visit and visit the free city as well.

Of course, there are pros and cons.

The free city is highly unstable in security, easily exposed to the beast’s raid due to the lack of security, and the streets that no one cleans are full of untreated corpses and rotten debris. The occasional epidemic wipes out the city, and no one cares if Baekju’s murder happens.

The absence of control means that there is such confusion with the bladder.

‘Inside but outside at the same time.’

Hunters who have been to the Free City used to say that.

The inside is isolated from the beast, but at the same time there is a threat like the outside. Overcome the threat of thieves and gangsters trying to rob the hunter’s pockets. Of course, not if they knew the dangers of the hunters, but there were a lot of strangers in the rare areas where the hunters were found.

In the end, a free city that is slightly different from the outside, but with the same threat, is not the only safe place.

That’s why it’s a kind of dungeon for hunters. Protect yourself until you get what you want and get out.

But now, the free city, metaphorically called the dungeon, was actually a dungeon.

“Hmm….”

Gene was looking at the Trash wall of the free city from afar. The wall made of rubble was, of course, not built at right angles, and was roughly four meters tall. Although a sharp piece protrudes, it can be evaded.

Glug-ug-ug!

Inside the city, you hear the screaming of monsters. Along with the eerie cries of scratching against the rusty iron, several other sounds were mixed.

As is the case with the free cities, the city was also founded in a ruined city. Even a rubbish wall is better than nothing, and the best place to find such rubbish was also the ruins of the city.

Although the size of the municipality was small for the free city, it was so large that it could not be compared to the point of Ad.

Of course, the city’s body and defense strength are inversely proportional. Zado had no defensive level to support his bouncing body, and the result was spread out in front of Jean’s eyes.

Wood Duck, Duck.

Glug-ug-ub

Kirk! Kick! Kick!

There are many monsters gathering to devour the corpse. It was crawling with dead bodies, including ghouls and corpses, as well as monsters and geese, and even poisonous dogs. You lean down and gaze at the monster’s banquet.

Monsters are animals.

Usually growling but not as aggressive as eating like this.

Gene climbs down the city’s trash wall and approaches the middle of the prey. If anyone saw it, it was an appalling act of suicide, but Jean’s pace was straightforward.

‘These guys are hungry.’

The beast is a beast, so some of the monsters have seen the gin, but they don’t even care. Now there’s meat in front of your eyes, even if it’s not hard to hunt. Monsters of the Corpse Hunter category already want dead bodies. They don’t like killing humans and turning them into corpses.

Gaaaah!

Grrrrr!

Moreover, if those scavengers were starving and scraping at each other, they wouldn’t mind Jean.

That’s why it was more dangerous for a corpse hunter to run to attack first.

Gene showed up quite well, but the monsters ripped the corpse apart and had no interest in him.

Hunters survive in the wilderness, not because they are strong, but because they know monsters.

I know how to deal with monsters. In a situation where others would have panicked and run away or wielded their weapons, Gene walks among the corpse-picking monsters as if walking.

In the sound of bones cracking and flesh chewing.

Hunters think.

‘It has been more than a month since the poem collapsed. If the monsters had attacked back then, the corpse would have turned to white bones by now. It’s weird to say there’s a predation in progress.’

‘Corpse hunters have just arrived. Why did they leave their bodies here for a month or so?’

“The creature that raided this place was dangerous enough that the corpse-hunting classes could not tread lightly? ‘

‘There are no monsters in the area where the meat is not intended for hunting. Then why did the monster leave the meat and disappear? If the city had been destroyed, we should have nested here until we consumed the corpses…’

Hunters judge.

“Corpse hunters are not the culprits. ‘

‘The creature that attacked the purgatory was not meant for meat (Corpse).’

‘There are no monsters that do not hunt for meat.’

‘There is a possibility that a Wanderer type monster has entered the rescue zone. But it’s unlikely.’

‘It became difficult to identify the case.’

‘I need to go around a little more.’

Corpse hunters do not pose a threat. These monsters are Bondi cowards, and they have no conscience. Since they are not a group of monsters, they will run away from other monsters when they are finished eating. As monsters aren’t the only ones threatening Humans.Humans aren’t the only ones threatening monsters.

Civilian settlements in the city were shacks or perfectly healthy buildings. The hunter slowly identifies the killer. Gene does not enter the building because there will be a body hunter inside.

The shacks that Slate built were usually squashed, but there were no signs of that in the concrete buildings.

‘The shack can be destroyed, but the concrete can’t be destroyed. It is not very large and large, and the raided monster is most likely medium.’

However, medium-grade monsters cannot enter the building. However, Gene caught the sound of grabbing meat from inside the building. This meant that monsters the size of which could enter a building and kill humans had also been ambushed.

‘A small and medium-sized raid together.’

In the center of the city, there were many large buildings, and the sounds of monsters inside the building became loud. It seemed clear that he was dead. Gene couldn’t shake the thought that the more he looked around and understood the situation, the more he couldn’t understand it.

‘Claw marks….’

The four giant vertical lines carved into the solid mud were obvious claw marks. Naturally, Jean recalled the words of the White Ball.

‘I think it was the wolves.’

However, a Giant Wolf cannot destroy a city of this size. And it’s absurd to think that a bunch of non-herds would attack a city with small monsters.

This situation was suspicious and unpredictable.

“Oh my….”

And Gene, who arrived at the center of the city ruins, faced even more incredible sights. Even the progress that did not lose calm was frowning, and the sight in front of his eyes was peculiar.

Woodpeck! Woodpeck!

Glug! Glug!

Approximately 50 or so dead hunters were ripping through the bodies. It was truly a horrific sight, mixed with ghouls, nerds, eating corpses, poisonous dogs, and numerous pest monsters. But Gene wasn’t frowned upon by the horror.

‘Baek Goo…. You were right.’

The massive chunks of meat that were ripped apart by the corpse hunters were the bodies of the Giant Wolf that passed straight through the five. As the White Goose said, Zadok was attacked by a giant wolf, a medium monster.

But those Giant Wolfs are dead now, too.

Gene climbed up the ladder of a slanted building and looked down at the view at the tall building.

Giant Wolfs have attacked a city. Among the raided monsters, the medium is Giant Wolf, and the small is probably their cubs. The corpses of the cubs were also lying in a daze, but they were being ripped apart by the corpse hunters.

This is an impossible sight.

Giant Wolf acted alone, hunting monsters and humans in his realm, only when he was truly hungry. It is impossible for such hunger to reach the ten wolves at the same time.

‘After the hunt, they fought and all died.’

The fact that the bodies are gathered in one place suggests that they fought amongst themselves and were destroyed.

Then it would explain why the corpse hunters arrived late. The smell of Giant Wolf’s blood is trembling, so the corpse hunters wouldn’t dare come this far.

But in the end, it is a situation that common sense cannot understand.

Gene’s role was not to avenge the city’s raiders, but to find out who the city’s raiders were.

So Gene is like completing a mission just by looking at this pile of corpses. The monsters were Giant Wolf, and they were destroyed after the hunt. So Ad Point doesn’t have to relocate.

‘I can’t be trusted…’

However, Gene knew that his words would not be accepted persuasively. It was not normally possible, so it is likely to be accepted as a false investigation. There is no recording device, so it is not a problem to be trusted even if the facts are true.

If you have proof, you can pull out a few Giant Wolf’s teeth, but you won’t receive any additional compensation.

Hunters don’t dig up the truth. All you have to do is leave the mystery as a mystery. The world is full of things we don’t understand, and we don’t have to risk our lives to understand them.

Gene stares down at the corpse hunters who have become full-bodied while grabbing the rich meat.

‘It looks like the work of a real demon.’

However, Gene came across countless untold incidents that appeared to be the work of the Devil. This phenomenon is uncommon, but it happens a lot. Coincidence is what happens every day, and whatever the reason these Giant Wolfs are gathered here, it can’t be the work of the Devil.

And above all, Gene was more important than watching the collapse of this free city.

The poem’s vault has lost its owner, so it will be waiting for its new owner. Chips of this size could significantly increase their uptime. Gene was originally asked to accept this quest, but he also wanted to collect the remaining chips in the city rather than the quest.

Takes silica rather than focusing on uncertain possibilities

Naturally, it was a law of survival.

‘Luckily, the monsters won’t let the slatters come.’

If word gets out that the city has collapsed, the bandits will come for sure. But this city will not be slatters for a while, thanks to a large number of corpse hunters. Monsters can sometimes be a great line of defense.

Hunters only hunt when they need to. They also use monsters when they need to. Gene starts looking for a building with a safe on the roof.

‘That way.’

Jin begins to move to a relatively healthy building in the southeast.

Glug, glug, glug.

Then, from the corpse debris behind him, something was waving and ominous.
