Arcane Sniper [Matan’s Shooter]

Chapter 467

“We are not suspicious people! No, do I have to explain the concept of a person first? Uh, I mean-”

“Big brother.”

“hmm. These people are different from those who passed by earlier. “He could be our ‘friend’.”

“huh?”

Below, I listened to their story even while they were shouting. It’s not perfect, but at least I got the last sentence.

‘They could be our friends? What does that mean? Those who passed before are probably members of the New World expedition, but is there a difference between them and us?’

But there wasn’t much time to worry.

“So…” As

one gorilla Paleo quietly asked, another gorilla Paleo, called ‘big brother’, raised his arms and raised his voice.

“Rowland! “Prepare to subdue Rhinodi!”

Rowan????de!

The answers were concise and the movements were fast.

The well-developed muscles are so delicately divided that the texture is visible.

However, with such a muscular body, the weapons they used were a bit unsuited to their size.

“…bow?”

The Gorilla Paleos were lined up in a row and holding bows.

It is too large to simply be called a long bow. Should we call it Big Bow or Giant Bow?

Shooting a delicate bow with a body that looks like it would use a crude blunt weapon? Although it seemed a bit out of place, it didn’t seem that way when I looked at the enormous size of the bow.

“Okay, considering tension, of course the shooter’s ‘pulling power’ is an important weapon…”

The thing that initially passed over Kid’s head was the throw they fired.

Gorilla Paleo immediately hung an arrow on the protest and started pulling it.

There was no warning to the three musketeers, but it was obvious if things continued like this.

“launch!”

Rowan????de!

“But you don’t even care about our situation, bow down!”

“Ugh! Luger! Now you get it, right? “I heard you always do it that way when you attack!”

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

As expected from a huge bow used by giants, the arrow flew quickly.

The size was large enough to match the man’s size, so each time an arrow passed by, a shadow was cast on Leeha’s face as he lay on his back.

Buhoooooooong???! Buhoo- Buhoot-!

It was immediately after that that the sound effect of rice cakes being pounded in a huge mortar was heard. The sound of the impact was so great that it drowned out all the cries of the Rhinodilos.

‘Since they are facing each other directly, it may have hit the skin of the stomach… Are you saying Kid, I, and Luger, who jointly attacked, are going to pierce it with an arrow or something and kill it?’

The following gives a rough estimate of the attack power of Gorilla Paleos.

If you think about it, red goats and black cranes didn’t even have specific weapons. The red goats did use throwing, but that was only to hit the black cranes floating in the air.

On the ground, they all mixed up and fought randomly.

Because their muscles and bare bodies themselves were weapons.

‘If those guys were to pick up a weapon that could take advantage of their physical characteristics, it would be natural for them to unleash unbelievable destructive power.’

The number of gorilla paleos was not small at all.

More than thirty Rhinodilos seemed unable to endure the barrage of arrows that rained down on them any longer, so they turned and began to run away.

Leeha was able to picture the scene as the sound effect that was heard like ‘tteok-tteok’ was changed to ‘tick-tack’ sound effect.

Even their powerful arrows would not have been able to pierce Rhinodilo’s armor.

‘Hmm, I’ll have to tell Ki-jeong about that later. It would be nice to make a shield out of their shells. By the way, what was that friend’s comment earlier? And where did it come from? Even though the terrain has slightly higher and lower hills, it wouldn’t have been so bad that I or Luger couldn’t find it at all.’

While they were still clinging to the ground and thinking about this and that, a large shadow fell over the faces of the three musketeers.

“Get everyone up.”

“Rowland!”

Was he worried about running away?

Gorilla Paleo grabbed the trio’s arms and forced them to stand up. It’s like the action of an adult lifting a cotton doll.

Looking at their arms, whose fingers were as thick as Leeha’s forearms, Leeha felt scared all over again. This is because it occurred to me that a gorilla’s muscular strength is enough to pull off a human’s forearm.

“Who are you?”

The gorillas’ older brother asked.

Who should answer? Kid and Luger were already exchanging glances. As expected, there was only one person who could deal gently in a situation like this.

“Uh, we… are humans from across the sea.”

Lee Ha barely opened his mouth.

“Across the sea?”

The older gorilla’s nostrils flared.

The gorillas who had completely surrounded the three musketeers were just snorting and snorting, enough to make their hair flutter.

It was clear that he was reacting to the words ‘across the sea’.

“That’s right. Across the sea….”

“A weapon similar to ‘Friend’ from across the sea.”

Sniff, sniff, sniff.

The eldest gorilla sniffed the trio and nodded.

‘different. ‘It’s different from red goats and black cranes.’

Rather, they are the ones who live near the beach. It was in a vast forest called the Redwoods, but if they knew about something across the ocean, it’s more likely that they would know.

But are they so obsessed with the word ‘across the sea’?

Moreover, Lee Ha did not miss the word ‘friend’ that they mentioned.

“I’m taking you.”

Rowland!

Hearing the older brother’s words, the Gorilla Paleos grabbed the trio’s forearms even more tightly.

“Uh, now, wait a minute. Where-”

Shoouuuuuckuuuuuuuuuu!

A light pink light flashed from the Gorilla Paleos. There was no need to double-check that it was a space movement magic.

“what is this? “This place can’t be—”

“Gorillas do all kinds of things.”

“Is it… an underground city?”

Lee Ha, Luger, and Kid looked at the scenery in front of them that changed in an instant.

There were various stones on the ceiling that gave light instead of the sun. Below it was a fairly large village.

It looked more like a city, quite different from the barbarian village of Redwood. Leeha felt once again that it was definitely different from red goat Paleo or black-crowned crane Paleo.

* * *

Kyaang! Kyaang-! Kyaang-!

Gorilla Paleos were moving around busily everywhere. Entrusting themselves to the guiding hand, the three musketeers observed their surroundings closely.

‘wide. Also, I don’t think it was originally a cave that led underground?’

There was no natural light coming from anywhere.

In a situation where everything was artificial, most of the Gorilla Paleos moving around were in the middle of construction, splitting and destroying things after transformation.

‘How long did it take to build something this large underground? They are even still expanding….’

It is quite the opposite of the red goats and black-crowned cranes that lived in harmony with nature. They were paleo gorillas who made everything artificial and lived underground.

There was a water pipe installed next to the roadside, and surprisingly, it was a city with complete sewage and waste treatment facilities.

How did we become civilized?

Lee Ha looked around and focused on that point.

‘According to Ibex and Hudid, spirits are basically individualistic. They didn’t seem to have any desire to unite with anyone or increase their own power. Each race may have different personalities, but… how on earth did they become so powerful and develop to the point of creating a city?’

Moreover, wasn’t Paleo just an ambiguous concept like the ‘children’ of spirit creatures?

The following thought was that it was close to impossible for them to gather their own wisdom and develop knowledge.

Therefore, the following hypothesis was only one.

‘I guess someone told me about it. Should we consider that as a ‘friend’? Isn’t that part of why they call themselves ‘friends’? Then, that ‘friend’ is…’

First, it must be a person from across the sea, and second, it is definitely not a user.

Dragon? Or NPC?

We cannot rule out the possibility that he was a person who came over after the Great War, but considering the way the story progressed, it was more likely that he was a ‘person who came alone’.

‘Or, as Luger quite firmly believed,

it could be [Kaztor].

Lee Ha was the only one who had conversations with spirits, but Kid and Luger were also hunters with good instincts. The basis may be weaker than Lee Ha’s, but the direct sense in Middle Earth should be considered higher than Lee Ha’s.

In particular, they had been visiting Kaztor for a long time. It may be a combination of various information about him.

‘Considering the quests related to Magic Bullet that have been carried out so far, it seems likely that it is Kaztor? First of all, don’t be too prejudiced…’

While Leeha was gathering his thoughts, a young Paleo who had not transformed into a gorilla approached and asked.

“Big brother! What is that? food?”

The little guy is definitely cute, but… what? food?

Lee Ha was momentarily taken aback while listening to the words of the young gorilla Paleo.

“It is highly likely that he is our ‘friend’. “I’m taking you to your guardian spirit, so stay away.”

“Wow! friend?! Are you talking about that friend? “That friend who came 20 years ago!?”

The boy Paleo jumped up and down, making a monkey cry. Leeha, Kid, and Luger’s ears perked up.

“Shh! No more must be said. If the guardian deity decides that they are enemies, they may have to be killed. “Go away.”

“Ukit—! “Rowland!”

The boy Paleo chuckled and walked away.

The Three Musketeers’ brains worked even faster after hearing the specific time.

-You say it was 20 years ago? What happened then? Kaztor went missing 100 years ago.

?…Umm, Kid! Turn that proud head off!

Luger couldn’t know, and I couldn’t guess any further.

It was more than a thousand years ago that the Platinum Dragon Bahamut came here. But what else came just 20 years ago?

‘It’s not a dragon after all. ‘Then what is it?’

While Leeha and Luger were just groaning, Kid’s expression darkened a little.

-Maybe things just got more complicated.

-Did something come to mind?

?If this incident is related to Kaztor?

?If so?

?Kaztor may be related to the Second Human Demon War.

-Eh? The 2nd Man-Man War? suddenly? What is that-

-…I see. 20 years ago was the end of the Second World War.

-ah!

The Second World War took place 20 years ago.

All the things that came to the New Continent at that time were pieces of the Demon King, including Gibrid and Pyroth-Kokri, and other demons!

?Kaztor has something to do with it… But there hasn’t been any talk about it so far…

?No, that’s why I said I don’t know. Because we don’t even know whether what they’re talking about is Kaztor or not.

?Perhaps their ‘friend’ refers to a demon. Be prepared to escape at any time. If we were to run away, wouldn’t we have to at least leave a hole in the head of the so-called guardian spirit?

-That’s not it. They said it was different from the ‘those who passed by earlier’, but there’s no way the demon army passed through here just then. Some of the users of the New World Expedition must have passed by, so there is no need to say that we are ‘different’ from those people…

?Yes, that is what I mean, that is!

Luger tried to pretend to know for a moment, but his logic was completely lacking.

The following also gave Luger a reprieve, but the exact information was still unknown.

Anyway, you will only find out when you encounter it.

“Rowland! “I came to see my guardian spirit!”

What’s going on?

“We found a group of people fighting Rhinodilos on the ground, so we went to kill them, but they were using weapons similar to our ‘friends’, so we brought them back!”

Sigh? Similar weapons?

“Rowland! And they all said they came from across the sea!”

…Ukki! Ukkikkeot! Let them in! Let them in!

A rather rustling noise was heard from beyond the door.

At this point I was convinced. What does it mean for them to turn into gorillas in the first place?
