Chereads / Ranker's Quest / Chapter 47 - Sneak Through the Mountain Range

Chapter 47 - Sneak Through the Mountain Range

[The item is untradeable]

"Oh! That's what happens. I guess it's a no."

Ar and Vi were inside the game once again. Ar gave a [Miscellaneous] grade item called 'Palemoon Spirit Soul' as he promised.

The item had some sentimental value to him, but it was more efficient to utilize it sooner.

"Well, the 'boar' was enough. It's a shame, but that's how is it."

The disappointment came from the other item Ar tried to give, 'Dreamcatcher Amulet'.

"How about this?"

[The item is untradeable]

A shrug came from Vi. They tried two different methods but came to no avail.

"Then, it can't be stolen?" Vi asked while moving his hand quickly to snatch the amulet.

[The item is untradeable]

"It confirmed then. This item was bound to me. It's the rephrase of 'bound'."

Ar gave a mixed expression. Satisfied with what he found, but also disappointed with the failure.

"That's it, right? Good luck with the quest." Vi said that while confirmed a leave from Ar's VPS.

"Yeah, try not to lose from Av."

"Hehe, even with him stealing the starting line, it won't be enough."

A grin closed the conversation as Vi completely disappeared from the 'white room'.

With a message and confirmed location, Ar also login to Swiljar City.

The only place to gather in the current game was Swiljar City. People couldn't arrange a meeting on a hunting ground that easy.

Even people gathered for the Sunrise had to finish the challenge. Every portal always teleported people into the most secluded place. And that was why popular tourist attractions such as 'Sunrise of the Sizzeria Hill' had an additional price.

"Can we found a hidden entrance like that easily?"

"Don't worry, the Wolf old man gave me 'this' as a 'GPS'."

Ar and Stugrd have met in front of the portal. After some pleasantries, they have shared the destination and the main focus.

"Hahaha, this is bad." Ar made a nervous statement as they teleported into an unfamiliar place.

"What's bad?" Asked Stugrd.

"I never knew this hunting ground existed."

"Don't worry, that's also happened to the majority. No bounty quest directed its mission here, a high portal's fee, and also the most dangerous place."

"But, then. How can you only invite me? At least we can bring Ilya here."

The place they set their foot at was a mountainous area. A bit far from them lurked some creatures that walking on its two feet. Scales covered their body. Their eyes were monolids that stayed on an alert to its surrounding.

"We can't. It's already booked. That's why I can only invite one of either you or Narzael."

"Ooh, another member? Okay, hope he or she was strong enough to carry us."

Ar had high expectations and set his bar a little high now.

Unfortunately, a giggle followed by a reality check came from the Lion-kin beside him.

"He won't help us with the battle. Rather he's here to observe our capability."

The one that almost popped out his eyes was not only Ar. Korka also did the exact same expression.

"You never tell me that before!" Korka complained.

"You never ask before."

The two of them expressed their shock with a different method now.

Korka fell on his knees.

Ar focused himself so much on his thought.

"There should be another stuff you kept, right? Those guys are completely 'black'. Even the 'orange' 'Monkeys' were a challenge for us before."

"I know. But, there shouldn't be an impossible quest in this game. Let's try it first, shall we? Maybe a defeat was the part of the quest."

"Sigh, nonsense."

Ar was helpless. It was tempting. This was a puzzle that he must conquer. Better to tried and failed than gave up just because it was hard.

"What is it now!?" Korka exclaimed and brought out various kinds of potions in his hand.

Ar also readying his stance while focused his eyes on the bunch of 'lizardman' ahead.

Fortunately, nothing happened. The lizardmen were not aggroed by the voice.

"They can't hear it from that far. I have tested their aggro range, and it's okay."

"Test? What test? Once they chase you. Over. RIP."

Ar said that with disdain. He couldn't believe what Stugrd said.

"I have a way to avoid that. Anyway, let's follow this 'GPS'. The mark has been found."

With an 'okay then.' The three started to follow the map showed on a virtual screen.

"How much does it cost? The one for the 'Hill' was pretty pricey."

"Fortunately, It's a quest item. No one can afford this in this state of the game. It's [Legendary]."

"What a jerk. Luring their player with such high-level grades. A 'casual' will give them free promotion."

They walked steadily while keeping the track of the surrounding area.

Avoided the pack with a detour was their priority.

"As from what I heard, no 'Mythical' title and 'Hidden' class like what we found was shared at all."

"It's either those guys concealed it, or the 'thing' really messed us up."

"That's why it's kind of weird when all of us got the same thing. Looks too strange as a coincidence, honestly."

Ar still had his doubt about what happened. Stugrd couldn't help but agree with him.

"There should be a pattern somewhere. In my eyes, what Mr Stug has done, was not a thing people can imitate."

Korka somehow joined in the conversation. Ar himself was not trying that hard to get close to him. He also rarely brought him in a talk.

"And why is it?" Ar asked him.

"Most of the forum was filled with people sharing their bounty quest and discussion about it. Hunting ground was basically too hard for people under Lv 15 to 20 and it also not efficient."

A monster spawned and stopped them on their track. It gave them a sudden alert.

Fortunately, it didn't notice them.

"A slime? Finally, I see slime." Ar was excited and blurted it out.

"Even the slime is stronger than the 'Apes'?"

"Is it also your first time seeing one?"

"Yes, I've never been this far before."

"Oh, right. Sorry, Korka. You can continue."

After the 'Slime' with 'red color' name passed by, they continued the pending business.

They had come close to the destination and looked like in a different part of the area.

The scenery was not much different, but the species inhabited it was significantly shifted.

They didn't see any lizardsman around.

"Okay. About Mr Stug. I think no on-"

Korka was about to continue his talk but was interrupted.

ROAR!

Shadows flew by above them. The presence pressured them on the ground.

[Immobilized]

Notifications appeared on their vision.

"Is this part of the quest?"

"I don't know."

Sturgd was also clueless. He couldn't answer Ar's question.

[System: Congratulations! You found [Mythical] event. You got a new title!]
