Elysion Online ~The Dragonewt and The Summoner~

Chapter 359: Mangrove Forest, Capture Start

The next day, when I told Kaito about the reward, his eyes were vacant.

"We helped you, didn't we? Why didn't I join the subrace companion?"

"Because it was Seigo who freed them, wasn't it?"

Well, that's how it is, isn't it? Kaito hit his head on the desk before the unforgiving reality. It looks painful.

"Then, from today onward, Takuto's store will be bustling with activity, won't it?"

"I'm going to start selling shaved ice and cold drinks, so we'll see what happens"

"I'm sure they'll sell well..."

"I'm sure it will"

Well, I'm glad it will because it's getting good reviews from everyone.

"A cafe with beautiful subhuman girls is bound to be a hit! All the male players will go!"

Kaito shouted, receiving cold stares from his female classmates. Can't this guy live without getting attention every single time...

As it turned out, there was a huge line. But women were overwhelmingly the majority and they were all eating shaved ice. According to Ruin-san.

"You underestimate the power of non-fattening sweets that taste almost as good as reality"

I agree with her. That makes sense when you put it that way.

I had to buy a lot of Yellow Ossa water from Ruin-san, who had predicted that we would run out of ice. You can't win in business.

In case you were wondering, Rudy and Hawkmen were the shaved ice staff. It's manual. It was a good moment to have three men.

Now, I decided to head for the Mangrove Forest. The members were Ix, Bran, Kotetsu, Gale and Chess.

We set out on Arkwyrm and off we sailed!

When we set sail, we were welcomed with open arms. First, let's start with these guys.

Howler Monkey Lv15

Normal Monster Subjugation Target Active

Uakari Lv15

Normal Monster Subjugation Target Active

First there were howler monkeys and as soon as they started yelling, a lot of them gathered. I thought it was strange because they only squealed and did no damage, but it seemed they were calling for their friends.

A lot of rare monkeys called uakari, which live in the Amazon, gathered and are currently throwing a lot of things at us. I feel like an athlete who gets garbage thrown at him by his supporters.

However, I don't feel good about being silently attacked.

"Ix, can you kill all of these guys?"

"Yes, I can"

Ix is the man.

"Do it"

"Yes, Master"

The monkeys' voices turn to screams. With the information in the field, they can't escape from Ix who even mastered the ricochet. They must have learned what happens when you throw things at people.

"I'm sorry. Master...I missed a few"

"I guess the energy gun's range wasn't enough...if they come near you again, take them out"

"Yes, Master"

As Ix replies, the ship hits something. It was not a rock...then something wrapped around her body and dragged her backward. Is that an anaconda with a tail!

"Master!"

"My Lord!"

I pull out my Scarlet Ring and stab it into the tail. The Anaconda burns as I activate the scorch. I manage to get rid of the tail, but I see the whole river burning. Wait a minute...isn't that too big?

The Anaconda reveals itself. Identification.

Giant Anaconda Lv25

Tame Monster Subjugation Target Active

A giant anaconda...as long as the length of the river as far as the eye can see...that's too much.

The giant anaconda aims at me, but Bran uses provocation and catches the giant anaconda's rush with her star frost shield and repels it.

"Now!"

Kotetsu leaps and aims his tachi at the Giant Anaconda's face and stabs it. Ix then uses her energy sword to send a blade of energy out, splattering the giant anaconda's head off.

"Blitz!"

"Gaaaa!"

Gale and I try to use lightning magic, but the info comes.

You can't use magic here

""...""

Gale's eyes meet mine. This is embarrassing.

Then Gale stabbed it with his horn and killed the giant anaconda with discharge. Gale...he pretended it didn't happen.

"Lord...get a grip"

Look! I felt like I was the only one who missed! Because so did Gale! Then the boat vibrated again and Bran collapsed, so I hugged her.

"A, Are you okay?"

"..."

"Bran?"

"Ha!? I, I'm fine!"

Bran leaves. Then Ix gives her a jittery look.

"I don't know about all this flirting. Master"

"Flirting!?"

"I just held her up when she fell down from the vibrations...! Ix! Behind you!"

Behind Ix was a huge fish. The vibration was that thing!

Ix was hit by a water breath and flew at me. I hold on Ix and become her shield.

"Master..."

"Ku..."

I try to hold on, but it's too hard...

"Lord!"

Bran took her place with the star frost shield. Kotetsu stabbed the fish, which was concentrating on the water breath, with his tachi and when he slammed it into the boat, Chess and Gale bit it and Kotetsu also bit and killed it.

"Master...are you all right?"

"Yes...I took quite a bit of damage, but I'm fine"

Bran heals me up and as I go to dismantle, Bran asks Ix.

"Wasn't that flirting?"

"No, it wasn't. I'm glad Master protected me with his own body"

We were desperate here. The giant anaconda and the mysterious fish are dismantled. From the anaconda I got the skin and this.

Anaconda Meat: Rarity 4, Ingredient, Quality E

Anaconda meat. The meat has a strong smell, so it is important to find a way to remove the smell. The taste is said to be light and surprisingly tasty.

Pirarucu: Rarity 4, Ingredient, Quality E

A huge freshwater fish that lives in rivers. Even though it is a freshwater fish, it has no odor and has a light flavor. Anyway, it is large, so you can eat a full meal.

Ah...this is a pirarucu...one of the largest freshwater fish in the world. Still, it's huge. The size of monsters is strange here. The size of the monsters is big, so is the meat.

I'm interested in the pirarucu, but I can't resist the meat of anaconda. The description also says...well, everything is a challenge, isn't it?

"Is Ix ready for a fight?"

"...It's tough"

She said water is not good. I don't think I should force her to do anything here. I'll call up Yuuga instead of Ix. I think Ix couldn't detect the water enemy, but Yuuga will be fine.

Pirarucus appear one after another as the ship moves forward. Here is the result of identification.

Pirarucu Lv25

Tame Monster Subjugation Target Active

Yuuga can detect it so we can take measures against the shaking. When Bran and Chess provoked and attacked, we were able to eliminate the shaking. In case you are wondering, we got some material from the pirarucu in addition to the meat. Here it is.

Pirarucu Scales: Rarity 4, Material, Quality E

Pirarucu scales. They are strong against water and are used as a waterproof material.

It will be useful in the Mangrove Forest. I have collected a number of them, Wako is sleeping and I am busy, so I think I should sell them to Mew-san.

While I was thinking about that, I came to a dead end. I have no choice but to turn around and go back to the fork in the road. As we proceeded along the fork, fog started to appear. Another fork in the road.

Fog and maze...they really like to harass us, don't they? The admins here really like to harass us.

Moreover, it seems to be a more complicated maze than I expected with all the forks. We hit another dead end, where we renewed our warp point and headed back.

Back in Liebling, I went to the Beastmaster's Guild and asked Nephi-san about ink or squid ink. There was such a thing, wasn't there? I had forgotten about it. So I drew a map of the Mangrove Forest with bagasse paper, squid ink and Finisto's quill pen.

It would be a good idea to proceed with the strategy little by little with this. With the map done, I decided to log out.
