(From MC's perspective) I started looking around this massive mountain rock. But I couldn't track down the source of the fruit odor. This piqued my interest even more. Because the smell could be coming from somewhere else. Then it could attract the attention of nearby monsters. This type of opportunity, however, is uncommon. So I decided to investigate. After a few minutes of deliberation, I chose a possible path. Which is the mountain rock's backside. I'm suspicious of the location behind the mountain rock. I take the dagger from my storage bracelet after walking past the trees and dense vegetation. Then I proceed by clearing the path out by cutting the bushes. The time went by, A large bedrock appeared a few minutes later. I couldn't see the end of the bedrock because it was so large. My attention was drawn to the cracks. The bedrock has developed numerous cracks. The scene in front of me did not surprise me. Then I noticed that the trees had grown from the cracks. The large cracks, in particular, were occupied by trees. Looking at everything, I'm pretty sure the smell of the fruit is coming from somewhere around here. I decided to search after gaining some clarity in my thoughts. I also decided to keep an eye on my surroundings before doing so. After 5 minutes, I heard a rustling sound while inspecting one of the cracks. My heart skips a beat when I hear that. My first thought was to flee from the monster. Then I turned to look down the crack in front of me. It's the best place to hide for me. Without further ado, I crouched down and descended. I completely hid when I thought. The sound of noise did not stop. Then I realized it wasn't a monster's scream. The more I listened, the more I heard the sound of footsteps. My expression tightened slightly. If those are hunters' footsteps, I'm not sure how many there are. Now I was worried. Because no one will visit these vast plains except strong hunters. "Is this the right place?" From afar, a stern, deep voice can be heard. "This is the place. Ha...Ha....Ha.... I can almost smell the magical fruits "The first voice was followed by another. My expression changed when I overheard the conversations. The worst-case scenario played out. Instead of monsters, hunters came to this location. "This is bad," I muttered to myself. I hope their total is less than five. Then I perked up my ears to hear more. They appeared to be close to my current location. "Let's hurry, we have to find the Gregor site before dawn," a female voice said this time. "Tck, don't worry, the scumbags from the sword guild haven't arrived yet," the second male voice immediately countered. "Cough" "Cough" "Begin your search for the treasure. We don't have a lot of time here, "They were instructed by a person with a deep voice. At the same time, I couldn't stop my heart from racing after hearing their conversation. When I decided to keep listening, their conversation came to an abrupt halt. People seemed to vanish out of nowhere. "I suppose they're looking for the treasure," I exclaimed, surprised. But I'm no longer interested in the magical treasure. Rather, my attention was drawn to specific information from their conversation. What exactly is Gregor site? Is this the real name of the abandoned site that I'm looking for? However, these people were speaking out against the sword guild. As a result, they are not sword guild hunters. This implies that the sword guild's closely guarded secret has been compromised in some way. As a result, I'm not the only one who is aware of such information. There are also other guilds at work. I have a feeling the sword guild wizards will halt their operations. And eventually, the exploration of the abandoned site will be abandoned. What a name, GREGOR. Is it the old wizard's name? A glint flashed into my eyes as I found the name intriguing. The following second, I decided on my next course of action. I'm guessing there are only three hunters in that group based on the conversations. As a result, I have a good chance of escaping them. After a few seconds of thought, I decided to leave the wilderness after gathering the final piece of information. I now have a possible name for the abandoned site. The only thing lacking is the precise location. I can stop acting passively if I have a location. I won't have to rely on the guilds or the adventurer union once I know where the Gregor site is. As I made some decisions, a cold glint flashed into my eyes. Instead of being conflicted about whether or not to visit the special place, I felt. I realized it was better to stick with these people. They can provide me with more information than trash wizards. Then I paused for a few moments before ascending. After returning to my usual location, I took a quick look around. As far as I can tell, there is no trace of the hunters. But I have a sneaking suspicion that they didn't leave this place. I still haven't finished covering the entire bedrock. So there's a chance I'll come across them. The time went by, I finally reached the end of the bedrock after walking past these large trees. At this point, I noticed three people walking ahead of me. Surprisingly, they are not heading towards the vast plains' center. If my prediction is correct, they will intercept the wizards from the sword guild. As this thought entered my mind, I could smell the bad blood. I anticipate a violent clash in the near future. This, however, will not deter me from following them. I gradually made my way toward them. I was careful not to cause any disruptions on the way. I was finally able to hear their conversation after closing the gap between us. "How long will we walk like this?" A Hunter in a green adventurer suit said to his companions. When they heard that, the leader turned to face him. He responded, "Our mission is to find out where the Gregor site is. We can leave once we've completed that task." The second person nodded when he heard that. He didn't appear to be pleased with their strategy. "But our guild predicted that the site might be located at the special place," the female hunter said. She believes they are wasting their time here. After hearing that, the leader was displeased and asked, "Do you think we can venture to that place with our level-2 strength?" After that, the female hunter calmed down. Seeing the leader's tense expression, the second person decided to break the tension between the two members. "We're here to confirm the news, Amber. If that special place is where the Gregor site is. We can return here with more wizards on our side "With a cough, he stated. "Only level 3 senior wizards can protect us in that location," he added. At the same time, I became distracted by their conversation for a brief moment. CREAK I unintentionally stepped on an old tree branching the ground. Which resulted in the cracking sound the next second. "Who exactly is it?" The next thing I knew, I was being threatened by a loud voice from ahead. "Shi! They've spotted me, "In a solemn tone, I said to myself. I started running away from this place at full speed the next second. I'm running in the same direction I came from. I've already gotten the important information from them, so there's no reason for me to stay here. They also appeared to be level 2 wizards. If I'm caught, I'll die. I'll hide beneath the cracks once I reach the bedrocks. Three of them, on the other hand, were startled after hearing a disturbance. "What happened, Morris?" The second person asked right away. He had the impression that a monster was lurking nearby. Morris, the group's leader, did not respond directly, but his gaze was fixed in one direction. He had heard a noise a few seconds before. However, the sound has now completely vanished. His skepticism grew stronger. "It's not a monster, it's something else," he said. "Reese, go check that place," Morris said, pointing to where Vincent had been hiding a few seconds before. Reese dashed towards the location when he heard that. "Is it someone from the sword guild?" inquired the female wizard. "I'm not sure," Morris stated. "Amber, go ahead and follow him." Then he told her to back up Reese. Amber nodded and immediately followed Reese. Morris, like an old fox, realized something right away. They had previously been too careless in their conversation. Their voice was not so low, so anyone nearby could hear it clearly. Then he waited for them to return. Reese arrived at the location quickly and began looking for traces. Morris' words led him to believe it was a hunter. Amber arrived a few seconds later. By then, Reese had discovered some broken twigs.
