"It's too difficult to walk here!" Big Pineapple was grumbling.
The 14-man squad was currently walking through a dense tropical rainforest.
Cha!
Neutron Star, who was walking at the front, used the short alloy sword in his hand to hack off a vine blocking their way. With the other hand holding the small shield dropped by the Sand Scorpion earlier, he pushed away and flattened the shrub on the right.
As the one responsible for opening the path, he was far more tired than Big Pineapple, who was standing guard beside the two NPCs. Not only was his light armor stained all over with leaves and mud, but even his combat boots were also completely covered by mud due to stepping through uneven, muddy surfaces while scouting the path. However, he could blame no one, as he was the newbie in the company still under a trial run. Manual labor was a stage that the low-level people needed to experience.
