Evolution Theory of the Hunter Chapter 78 part2

Kyle: Chapter 78 part 1 is at the end of chapter 77 if you didn't know. I primarily focused on improving the readability of these retranslated chapters. Note: This chapter is not edited.

The arrow, which was shot by Han Joon-suk, was fired at Wee Oong-bee with terrifying force.

"Huh?"

He instinctively felt a sense of crisis and twisted his body.

The arrow passed by his cheek.

It was a bit disappointing that it didn't hit him, but catching his attention was enough.

"There are enemies hiding somewhere. Everyone, be careful!"

They marked where we were, but it looks like they could not figure out exactly who we were or how many of us there are.

Even by just pretending to be part of Ezekiel's group was enough to make the Chungho Group step back a bit.

"Ha! Geez. I can't believe there's a moment in my life where I help Ezekiel."

Jo Young-gu said. It had not been that long since we had fought with Ezekiel with our lives on the line.

"You didn't help, to be honest."

Han Joon Suk, who put aside the bow, said with a voice with a tinge of regret.

It seemed that he thought that he would be able to cause serious damage to Wee Oong-bi with the Dragon Killer.

It seems he was a bit shocked that he missed the enemy even while the target was completely taken off guard.

I opened my mouth.

"What Wee Oong-bi has trained in is not simply sword skills but also the mastery of using his body. He might have been more sensitive instead because he was immersed in the battle. Strictly speaking, Dragon Killer is not specialized in sniping."

"I'm just not used to this weapon yet."

Han Joon Seok said to hide his regret.

Fortunately, both sides seemed to be unable to actively fight, having to pay attention to our existence.

Since the two groups were taking time to start fighting, we went around to the back of Ezekiel and went to the warehouse.

We were planning on disappearing after stealing all the goods while they did not know who we were or what our purpose was.

Dig dig dig.

We were near the warehouse and saw Kelby digging the ground.

I never saw him do this kind of thing.

"Kelby."

When Yeon-kyeong called him, he stopped digging and came over.

"I think this guy smuggled the items."

Soo Ah, who looked at the pit, opened her mouth. When I got there, I could see items piled up inside.

They numbered about twenty. Considering that the total number of items expected to be in the warehouse was about 500, these 20 items were probably part of those 500 items.

Yeon-kyoung stroked Kelby's head lightly.

I approached him and opened my mouth.

"You didn't secretly steal and eat any, right?"

"…… "

It looks like he ate a few of them seeing how he was avoiding my eyes.

I checked the growth value.

=====

Hellkeeper Cerberus (0)

Growth Rate: 19

Special Abilities: Grows by eating items. The higher the level of the item, the more he grows. It does not die.

=====

The growth rate is 19. This meant that he ate 1 or possibly 2 level 1 items. He ate just enough to not feel that guilty.

There was some effect from the training of not letting him eat as he wanted it seems.

"By the way, there is a hunter guarding the warehouse, how did he steal it?"

Soo Ah said. I'm also curious about that.

"We'll know once we get there."

Our party headed to the warehouse following Kelby. Everyone was breathing as quietly as possible and waiting to see how he was able to steal items from the warehouse.

*Sniffing*

He carefully put his nose near the ground and sniffed before suddenly disappearing into the ground.

"Kelby is gone!"

Soo Ah opened her mouth with a surprised voice. However, Han Joon-seok, who has good eyesight was able to understand the situation.

"He's gone underground."

He dug a tunnel like a mole and entered the warehouse through the floor. He was not a normal puppy, as such there was nothing strange about him doing something like this. Digging was not difficult if done with a dog's body, and Kelby had overwhelmingly more stamina and strength compared to regular dogs. We waited quietly. Beyond the forest, Ezekiel and Chungho Group were in the midst of a staring contest while facing each other.

In the meantime, we were going to get some items from Kelby.
