Kalz Morenn clicked his tongue.

This meant that everyone who had gone off had failed.

He thought that he would be able to find that guy using Gyesoo’s trait pretty quickly but it seems that there was a lot of restrictions that made it so that he could not find the person he found earlier for a whole month.

Ailen asked with a slightly confused expression while looking at Kalz Morenn warming up his body.

Kalz Morenn smiled.

There’s no satisfaction in smas.h.i.+ng down timid people.

“I’m going. You watch for those who run away towards the plains above the Kukulja Lake.”

Kalz Morenn left those final words as he quickly disappeared from the top of the boat.

Hansoo thought about his next objective as he erased his tracks.

‘I need to supplement it with Nutritional Fluid.’

Hansoo took out the Juicer he received from the Helper clansman and then ran towards the End Root between the sea and the Kukulja lake.

Hansoo could finally see a greenish part on the center of some blazing ruins that resembled a vein after a long run on top of the tree root.

The Root of World Tree was largely divided into the Exterior and the Interior.

And the Exterior supplied nutrition to all of the World Tree by purifying the toxic waters into the Nutritional Fluid.

And the only place where the survivors of this place, which was always burning, could find liquid and food was that World Tree Exterior’s Nutritional Fluid.

A large amount of people were using all their strengths and using the Juicer like the Helper clansman had told them.

But of course there was a problem.

“Dammit! What is this! It barely comes out!”

This machine, which had a few skills applied onto it, pulled out the Nutritional Fluid once one takes it and puts it onto the Exterior.

As if the Exterior was symbolizing the dried up World Tree, a very small amount of Nutritional Fluids were running through it.

He had to scratch off quite a large amount of Nutritional Fluids for the Hardening Liquid.

Since if you follow the Exterior up, you will find a thicker Exterior where the other Exteriors met up.

‘We meet again.’

Yohan and the others were driving out the other people approaching the Exterior as they were filling up their Nutritional Fluid Containers.

“Get lost!”

The people who were driven out cried out in rage.

Yohan smirked as he laughed.

“…f.u.c.kers.”

Who didn’t know about that.

Of course it was more dangerous to go higher.

That they had to get stronger no matter what and then keep climbing up.

Which means that they had to persevere to get the Nutritional Fluid no matter what, get stronger and then drink from the Exterior above where there is more Nutritional Fluid.

Hansoo shook his head as he saw this scene.

It was basically the same as fighting for water during a drought.

‘And this is why I must revive the World Tree even more.’

It was already not enough but if the people who will be sent in next year are taken into account then it will really be insufficient.

Unity was a job that was after revival of the World Tree.

Which means that it wasn’t time for him to care yet.

And as soon as Yohan saw Hansoo, his expression scrunched up.

“Kang Hansoo! Where did you hide the boat!”

Yohan loudly shouted.

“We can’t go up higher! There are beasts swarming up above!”

There was a reason why Yohan and his crew were staying a bit below the Lake.

And because of this they tried to climb up as fast as possible as soon as the instructions of the Helper clansman ended.

Since thousands of beasts were swarming around.

And they were raising their strengths by collecting the Nutritional Fluid like this and hunting weak beasts because they could not die like this.

“Give us the boat. You don’t need it. We will leave on the boat.”

Hansoo shook his head at Yohan words.

“Persevere well here. Don’t think about going up.”

“I’m going to kill that Calamity Fish so. I need to use the boat there.”

‘He’s really insane.’

‘You want us to believe such nonsense? Just say you don’t want to give us the boat instead.’

Yohan grinded his teeth.

Hansoo chucked as he looked at that Yohan.

‘Don’t do that.’

He could understand Yohan’s intentions so he just shrugged and didn’t really say much more.

While Yohan was grinding his teeth, Hansoo leisurely went up to the Exterior and then plugged the pointy part of the Juicer.

And then the Juicer activated as it pulled out the Nutritional Fluid a drop at a time.

‘Hooh. Much better.’

He had just drank just a few drops of the water of life that was provided through the Exterior but it already started to fill up Hansoo’s whole body with nutrients.

‘Since I quenched my thirst it’s time to move.’

The amount he needed to gather was not possible to be gathered here anyway.

To replenish his spent stamina and to use it as the starting point to go to a bigger one.

Even more so since this thing went up and down through the underground.

“Don’t p.i.s.s people off randomly and just stay here for a bit.”

He would be able to set off towards the Calamity Fish in just a little while.

Yohan looked at that Hansoo with a cold expression.

The reason why that guy could be so laid back was because he had the boat.

Yohan had to find the boat.

That guy was so cautious to the point where he was constantly erasing his tracks as he moved.

It would be hard to chase.

‘Was something over there?’

A guy of that level would’ve already been to such a place and came back but for him to only come out now.

There was a possibility.

Then the reason why he had driven the boat to this dangerous place could be explained.

‘Killing the Calamity Fish. That’s definitely a lie… Is he trying to gain something here and then escape with the boat?’

Yohan cautiously gathered up a few people and shared his thoughts.

And soon they arrived at the lake which was quite familiar to them.

But there was a person who had gotten there before them.

There was a man who was meticulously searching around the lake in Yohan’s sight.

‘d.a.m.nit. They’re all the same.’

Even without the Helper clansman’s warning he could still feel the strange bloodthirsty aura radiating from that man.

“Since it looks dangerous let’s back off for now and then look for Hansoo’s tracks when that man leaves.”

Yohan did not realize that this was a fatal mistake.

“Hey you over there! You know Hansoo?”

Everyone was shocked at the sudden shout of the man.

Yohan tensed up but then thought that he didn’t have anything to lose as he broadened his chest and tried to speak.

Puuuk!

The broadened chest had to be folded back immediately.

‘What… did I even do wrong?’

“You b.a.s.t.a.r.d. Dare to look at my eyes when you’re just a mere newcomer. You want to die.”

‘d.a.m.nit. With just that as the reason…’

At the same time Yohan realized why the Helper clansman told them to not p.i.s.s off the people who had come in the previous year.

“Good. It was hard enough to look for his tracks anyways, you guys will help me a bit.”

‘Kuhuu. He probably knew that someone was going to chase him but it seems like he didn’t expect something like this.’

Kalz Morenn looked at the chicks with a cold expression.

“You got off here?”

“Good.”

He didn’t know why Hansoo was running around the jungle but he probably knew that there were going to be pursuers.

Then there was only one choice that guy would make.

Running away from him when Gyesoo hadn’t even told him about himself was an impossible thing.

The only escape route then was the sea.

‘If not then I can just break apart the the boat first. Since I can kill him slowly once he can’t run away anymore.’

Though Hansoo had hidden it, it wasn’t hard to find the traces of the boat with a skill once they reach the place where they had gotten off.

Yohan, who had been looking at Kalz Morenn with a fearful expression, spoke.

Kalz Morenn looked at Yohan with an amused expression.

From what he heard, they would’ve all died if not for this Hansoo guy but they were cooperating extremely well.

‘Well. It’s better for me.’

“Of course. You guys take the boat.”

They would cooperate better if there was a chance for survival.

And then he spoke towards Kalz:

“Let’s see…”

Since the fairy’s boats weren’t hard to find due to their particularities.

But there were too many different scents mixed in the last battlefield for that.

“…This guy and that guy. Why are they all r.e.t.a.r.ded.”

The location where the Aronan’s Chaser pointed to.

But how would Hansoo pull that up.

Even if the amount of their muscles increased, there was still a limit with a human’s body ma.s.s.

‘These r.e.t.a.r.ds… he didn’t hide it, it just sunk.’

A boat that the Quadratus guys had not smashed yet.

The important fact was that he had wasted time because these guys.

Since when it came to pursuing someone the difference between a few hours and half a day was the difference between heaven and earth.

“Huuuuak!”

The dark red flames started to float around Kalz Morenn as if they were reacting to his rage.

‘Hmm. Good.’

There was no need to share it because it was an Exterior located in a dangerous place and he was also gaining runes steadily even while chopping apart the beasts.

But Hansoo just shrugged his shoulders.

Hansoo, who had been sucking the Nutritional Fluid out from the Exterior, quickly moved towards the next Exterior.
