As soon as the arrow pierced the empty ground, the other heroes drew their weapons.
Of course, their reaction was normal, they were shocked to find their own kind in the dungeon.
Musashi Noboru raised his hand and signaled for the heroes to lower their weapons. From the trajectory of the arrow, it was clear that the woman in purple did not intend to hurt him.
So he was at ease, which meant that the woman did not want to fight. But there was a problem, it was that they spoke different languages. Musashi Noboru was at a loss.
Slowly, the heroes lowered their weapons while the woman in the purple leather armor lowered her guard as well.
"@%#u0026-¥€£^," the woman in purple opened her mouth again. She spoke in a language they did not understand.
From the tone of her voice, the woman seemed to be asking something.
Just as Musashi Osada was about to answer, Musashi Hirata stepped forward, "Grandfather, let me speak to her."
Musashi Hirata was silent for a moment before he organized the words he wanted to say.
"We. Are. Of. Hero. League. We. Mean. No. Harm."
Despite the awkward accent and the stiff tone, Musashi managed to get Hirata to say it out loud. At least according to the look of the woman in purple, she understood Hirata's words.
When these words came out, everyone on Hirata's side was surprised. There was no record of the language of the purple woman, but how could Hirata understand it?
It was a mystery that everyone wanted to know, but they were aware that this was not the right time to ask about it.
The Trio Sword Lunatic came closer to Musashi Hirata. The curious Musashi Noboru opened his mouth first in a whisper: "What are you talking about?
"The first time she spoke, she warned us not to enter the mountain or we would be shot! The second time, she asked us who we were!"
Musashi Hirata explained, waiting for the woman in purple to continue the conversation.
"Hero League? What is that?" The woman in purple asked with confusion on her face.
"It. Place. Where. Hero. Gathers. I. Am. Also. Hero. Name. Musashi. Hirata!" Musashi Hirata replied in the same language, though not as fluently as the woman in purple.
Nevertheless, Musashi Hirata was able to start a conversation, so there was no misunderstanding between them.
"Hero!?" When the word "hero" reached the woman's ears, she looked pleasantly surprised.
But then a deep frown formed as she did not trust Musashi Hirata and continued, "Hero League? Isn't this supposed to be a Hero Guild? Are you lying to me?"
The woman in purple seemed to be suddenly angry. She raised the lowered bow and aimed the arrow at Musashi Hirata.
Wu Shen Lei and the others also raised their weapons. Ready for battle. They were not afraid as the woman in purple was alone while they had ten of them.
"Lower your weapon! Lower your weapon if you want to keep your life! We are surrounded, stupid!" Musashi Hirata scolded his colleagues.
How could they not realize the situation they were in?
Wu Shen Lei, Park Jin-Soo, and Huo Liang Xun were displeased to hear Musashi Hirata scold them. However, under Musashi Naizen's sharp gaze, they lowered their weapons.
But the woman in purple was furious. Without even listening to what Musashi Hirata had to say, the woman in purple shouted angrily at them.
"I don't care who you are! You are forbidden to enter the Purple Mountain! Get out of here! Right now!"
Musashi Hirata let out a frustrated sigh and bowed his head slightly towards the mountain.
"I. Sorry. We. Will. Go. Now."
After that, he looked back at his idiotic team members who had ruined his chance to learn more about the third dungeon.
If he could establish a friendly relationship with the woman in purple, the exploration dungeon could be considered over. He could simply ask the woman in purple about the circumstances of the third dungeon.
With an annoyed expression on his face, Musashi Hirata stormed back without saying a word.
The Trio Sword Lunatic followed close behind. On the way back, the three old men harassed Hirata, asking him where he had learned this strange language.
"My master taught it to me! You should ask my master if you want to know more about the Dramonia language! I don't know much about it!"
Musashi Hirata explained with a less annoyed look at his childish grandfather, Musashi Noboru.
When they arrived at the dungeon gate, Park Jin-Soo blocked Musashi Hirata who was about to leave the dungeon.
"Where are you going? Shouldn't you explain to us what you were talking about with that mountain woman? Shouldn't you tell us where you learned that language?"
Musashi looked up. He looked directly into Park Jin-soo's eyes. His expressionless face and cold eyes almost made Park Jin-Soo retreat, but he stayed still.
"I'm going back, idiot! And I will look for someone who can talk to the woman in purple, my master! My master taught me that! Are you satisfied? The. Park. Family's. Spoiled. Prince!!!"
"So your master came from the dungeon too? No wonder, he has no manners, just like that mountain woman. He can't even teach..." Park Jin-Soo stopped abruptly as a thick killing intent enveloped him.
Unconsciously, he took three steps back and met extremely cold eyes.
Musashi Hirata's hand was already on his sword. He was ready to draw at any moment.
"If you dare to talk about my master again, I swear in my name that I will pull out your tongue so that you won't be able to speak again, forever!"
From the look of Musashi Hirata, Park Jin-Soo believed that his tongue would indeed be pulled out if he continued to speak.
The scene from two months ago flashed through his mind. A scene where he fought with Musashi Hirata two months ago.
He, Kim Seung, and Wu Yanhong had been mercilessly beaten by the man in front of him and Sun Zhou Yi.
The memory of two months ago made his body shake involuntarily. Then he imagined his tongue being pulled out.
Park Jin-Soo flinched and unconsciously cleared a path for Hirata. His face was dripping with sweat and he lowered his head, not daring to meet Musashi Hirata's eyes.
Musashi Hirata released his hand from the sword and walked past Park Jin-Soo without a word.
"Wow! Your fellow student is so arrogant and a bit master-con!" Elazaro Tania commented, surprised by Musashi Hirata's exaggerated measure.
After a moment, she received no answer and looked at the man next to her. Then she noticed that Sun Zhou Yi was also looking at Park Jin-Soo with cold eyes.
Tsk, what bad luck to be marked by two monsters at the same time! Elazaro Tania shook her head in pity as she looked at the frightened Park Jin-Soo.
Eh, wait a minute... Does that mean that this guy has a Master-Con too? Only then did Elazaro Tania realize that the man next to her also had the same Master as Musashi Hirata.

North of Star City, at the Green Zone Hunting Ground
At Xu Lingxun's call, the two teams scattered, running away in fear.
Mutant, was a mutated Humens commonly known as Savage. People called the mutant Savage because of its nature, which was more like a beast than a human.
The mutation not only changed their appearance, making them monster-like. The mutation also gave them greater strength.
In the record, the strongest mutant known to the world was about fifty times stronger than a wood class hero.
The children had heard the most terrible things about mutants, so they ran away as soon as they saw one. And here it was not just one, but three! They left Xu Lingxun alone with the mutant girl in his hand.
