The metallic clang of the axe striking the Mutated Iron Tree branches rang out again, and Shin Woncheon and the others exchanged a glance, seeing the same determination reflected in each other's eyes.
Even if they didn't have the boss's skills, they couldn't go back empty-handed. At the very least, they could help by chopping a little more!
Kim Haru chopped away, and when he finally felt like he had enough branches—any more and they wouldn't be able to carry them back—he stopped.
The four of them were already panting with exhaustion, and although the branches they had chopped weren't as thick as Kim Haru's, they still managed to gather a decent number of them.
"Let's head back," Kim Haru said casually. He pulled out some vines he had collected on the way and started tying the branches together. He was contemplating whether to reveal the system's backpack feature to store them or just drag them back himself when Shin Woncheon and the others quickly offered to drag the branches.
After all, while they couldn't chop the trees as effectively, at least they could help with the heavy lifting.
By now, Shin Woncheon and his group had grown numb to everything Kim Haru did. Nicaraguan Blood Sucking Vine? Not a problem—they were casually ripped off and used as ropes.
They had also wrapped up a huge bundle of Mutated Iron Tree branches with those same Nicaraguan Blood Sucking Vine, dragging them along the ground without hesitation.
Once the branches were dragged back, Kim Haru saw that there was still plenty of daylight left. He grabbed his axe, measured up the branches, and began chopping them into suitable lengths for a fence.
As soon as he chopped off the first piece, the system gave a notification.
[ Congratulations! You have obtained raw material: Wood*1 ]
[ Crafting function unlocked. ]
[ Congratulations! You have obtained the blueprint: Wooden Fence. ]
What followed was much simpler.
Kim Haru casually hacked away at the branches with his axe, and the wood that came out looked as precise as if it had been made on an assembly line, all of them were stacked neatly.
As he chopped, Kim Haru changed his grip on the axe and wielded it like a sword. He even started swinging it in what resembled sword forms!
Of course, it was just a show, an exaggerated performance of fancy moves.
Who hasn't dreamed of being a martial arts hero at some point?
Despite the flashy sword-like movements, the effectiveness of the axe wasn't diminished. The wood still formed one piece after another, and soon, a large pile accumulated beside him. Meanwhile, the system notification kept rapidly updating the increasing quantity of the wood in his inventory.
Shin Woncheon and the others, who had been watching nearby just standing with open eyes and dazed, completely overwhelmed by what they had seen.
When they finally snapped out of their shock, they swore confidently, "The boss must come from a legendary martial arts family! A family that practices inner strength and has secret martial arts manuals!"
