Chapter 174 &x2013; Red Desert (1)
[This place is north of the Highwood Forest where the Wood Devils appear &xA0;It is called the Red Desert &xA0;Until now, no one has able to approach this unknown region]
A User appeared within the footage &xA0;After he gave a brief explanation, the User turned to look at the Red Desert spread behind hi
[It feels like I'm on mars &xA0;However, this place has a characteristic that isthan its appearance &xA0;Please look over here]
The vieas tilted doards towards the floor &xA0;One could see the feet of theatop the red sands &xA0;Theon the floor
When one watched the footage, one would expected the desert or the sand box to let out a soft sound when the foot ca!
However, the red sand beneath the User's foot made a sound akin to what a steel would make
The man didn't end his actions there &xA0;He quickly unsheathed his sword froround &xA0;The sword descended fast, and after letting out a violent sound, only the tip of the sword penetrated between the grains of sand
[As you can see, this place is a desert &xA0;However, when you operate in this region, you should treat this place as a world made out of concrete &xA0;This holds true for the rest of the Red Desert you can see right now &xA0;These sands look like they are flowing like river water, but in truth, it could be treated as a very light layer of sand a for one to experience in a virtual reality]
The User finally appeared in full inside the footage, and the man started to move &xA0;The screen started to e, and he stopped in front of it
There was a snake in front of the man &xA0;It was an enormous snake, and the snake looked bizarre in several ways &xA0;Snakes usually had scales that looked slick with oil, but this snake's skin looked very hard &xA0;It looked like a bug&x2019;s carapace, and the glossy sheen made it look like an exoskeleton &xA0;However, thepart was the fact that the snake's body was half buried in the sand
The User opened his ain
[However, if you decide to hunt here, the aweso I described earlier is actually a very horrific setting &xA0;Wait until this guy comes out or please run away &xA0;If you are pulled below the ground, prepare yourself for a vacation The Tankers have to on alert]
In a flash, the ed &xA0;The screen started to shake as if it was really being filain!]
[Prepare for battle! &xA0;Prepare for battle!]
[Don't get dragged in! &xA0;The Tankers have to be especially vigilant!]
Within the shaking footage, desperate voices could be heard &xA0;After a while, the footage stabilized, and the User spoke directly to the vieatching the video
[I'll end it here &xA0;This is Big Suild's Sinclair]
The video ended
Hyrkan, who had been caught up by the video, was finally able to freely aze as he lifted his head to look in front of hiht in front of his eyes &xA0;The Sand Snake's corpse had been dis away
Ddul-goo-ruhk, ddul-goo-ruhk&xB7;&xB7;&xB7;&xB7;&xB7;&xB7;
There were two Skeleton Knights on Skeleton Steeds around the Sand Snake They looked forbidding as they uard &xA0;Both of the Skeleton Knights were showing a bold front, yet Hyrkan didn't feel good looking at them &xA0;His foul ht was taken down in a single&x2019;
When he arrived at the Red Desert, it was as if the Sand Snake had been waiting for Hyrkan &xA0;He immediately came across the most famous monster inside the Red Desert
Hyrkan decided to answer the Sand Snake's welco into its house
The battle itself wasn't too bad &xA0;The Sand Snake's exoskeleton was hard as it looked &xA0;On the other hand, the monster didn't have any Special Abilities &xA0;The Skeleton Warriors were trained well enough to fight in a melee with the Sand Snake &xA0;Then there were the Skeleton Knights strengthened using the Legendary Rank Ancient Power &xA0;With the help of the Skeleton Knights on their Skeleton Steeds, the Sand Snake wasn't a difficult opponent
Moreover, the [Corrosive Ghost] Skill effect worked very well on this monster &xA0;Hyrkan had a Transcendent Rank Ancient Power leftover inside his storage, so he had used it on the [Skeleton Science] Skill &xA0;The [Corrosive Ghost] Skill had becoer, and it quickly weakened the exoskeleton of the Sand Snake &xA0;Thanks to the recently purchased [Cursed Doll] Skill, it was easy to inflict the Curse
The early portion of the battle was so easy that iteasy inside this garabbed onto the Skeleton Knight &xA0;After biting the Skeleton Knight, ailing away at the Sand Snake, the ground sunk inwards &xA0;The Skeleton Knight was killed
Instantaneous Death
Results that usually never happened to his Skeleton underlings occurred
Afterwards, he entered into another battle with a Sand Snake &xA0;In the process, two Skeleton Warriors suffered the saet what they were trying to do &xA0;Still, the Skeleton Knight atop the Skeleton Steed is iged underground like that?&x2019;
After assessing the battle again, Hyrkan clicked his tongue in dislossed over
Hyrkan couldn't suhts indefinitely &xA0;The Skeleton Knight suffering an instantaneous death was a very big loss for hiht be the only ones that can tank the Sand Snake&x2019;
Of course, he had to change his tactics frohts as hybrid Tankers and Strikers &xA0;For tanking, he would have to send out a big Golee&x2019;
In the end, that was the problem
Hyrkan didn't use the Golems as his main troops not, because they eak &xA0;The Gole was too large to use theainst normal ht where one Skeleton Knight would suffice, one was killing a chicken with a butcher&x2019;s knifeHyrkan did here was costing money &xA0;It wasn't as if there was an infinite number of consumables he could use &xA0;If his consumption was too fast, it would restrict the number of hours he could operate here
Hyrkan looked up at the sky
&x2018;I can't fly around&x2019;
The best option would be to fly on the Bone Wyvern without getting into any battles as he looked for his destination &xA0;However, Warlord didn't per Skill could be used only if one had a destination in ion like the Heard Fortress ruin town
Of course, it was ok to mount it &xA0;However, it was impossible to control it &xA0;In the case of the Bone Wyvern, it just stood on the ground during non-combat situations &xA0;It only moved when the battle started &xA0;Moreover, it was suicide to ride a Bone Wyvern into a battle
This hy he had to walk around this place
&x2018;Shit&x2019;
Of course, he would have to continue to walk &xA0;He would have to leave behind his footprints on this hell-like Red Desert
Hyrkan, who had been looking up at the sky, lowered his head
&x2018;Yes &xA0;Let's see ins&x2019;

[Your level has increased]
[The Skill Proficiency for the Iron Golem Skill has risen to Rank D]
[The Skill Proficiency for the Bone Dragon Skill has risen to Rank D]
The Level Up Announceister in Hyrkan's ears
&x2018;Battle Conored the Red Scorpion he had just caught &xA0;He turned his head, then he started to run
He just ran
&x201C;Fucking hell!&x201D;
As Hyrkan ran, harsh cuss words flowed out his mouth &xA0;A forest was seen far into the distance
&x2018;I've finally found it!&x2019;
It was a forest filled with trees that rivaled ones seen in the Highwood Forest &xA0;This forest was beyond being silent &xA0;It felt dreary &xA0;It welcomed the visitors with an atmosphere that was quite different from the Red Desert
&x2018;If I hadn&x2019;t found this today, it would have driven me nuts&x2019;
He had spent 10 days within the Red Desert, and he spent to extra days in locating this place &xA0;This was his first success on this trip
The hardship endured by Hyrkan for the past 12 days was beyond iination &xA0;The environment tested the Users in a different way &xA0;It didn't allow for breaks, and one had to be always vigilant &xA0;The tier &xA0;A 10as any other region
Moreover, he had found his target destination only when the Consuone
If he hadn't found the location today, he had no choice, but to head back &xA0;Of course, Hyrkan's eyes were about to flip over at his current situation
&x2018;All right &xA0;I don't care what comes out &xA0;Even if it is a Zombie, I'll kiss it!&x2019;
Hyrkan approached the forest with a happy heart, and Hyrkan was able to have his long awaited encounter
&x201C;Do not approach this place dead huive your trespass only once &xA0;If you return to this place again, even your corpse won't survive the encounter&x201D;
It was an Elf with red colored skin
[You've gained the title 'The First to Encounter the Red Elf Tribe']
