Chapter 134 Two Hours
'Crunch'
Shin ate one of the fruits that Terran brought.
"Two are enough…"
'Crunch'
'Ding'
[ Your speed stat has been increased by 1 ]
[ Speed: 548+1 || Max. Speed: ??? ]
'Crunch'
Terran too ate that and his speed stat increased too.
[ Speed: 185+1 || Max. Speed: 999 ]
Both sat there for a few minutes while Terran still expected Shin to answer him about the elf.
'Did she run away or went to relieve stress?', Terran asked himself while looking here and there.
Shin understood that Terran was still searching for her.
"She went back."
"Eh?", he was surprised to hear that.
"She went back?"
"But why?"
"I mean without her how can we-"
And just as he was asking questions, Shin calmly answered, "I sent her back."
"…"
Terran became speechless and waited for Shin to finish talking before he could say anything else.
"I got this map from her with the help of which we can find the place ourselves…", was what Shin said.
Terran had no problem now because they had the map which could actually lead them to the place.
Though, he was surely curious regarding the reason due to which Shin sent the elf back.
'Ding'
[ The map has been saved in the system ]
[ Navigating… ]
Actually, the map which she gave was drawn on a piece of large leaf that she plucked from the tree under which they were resting.
Shin couldn't carry that and see again and again by taking it out of the inventory. It would be such a hassle due to which he asked if the system could scan and save it.
Fortunately, the system could do that, and thankfully now it was much easier.
However, he didn't get up immediately. He waited for a few more minutes as if he wanted to rest a bit while trying to track down the so-called 'eyes' that were still watching him,
'Ding'
[ You are being watched ]
[ The system is trying to trace back the watcher ]
[ Estimated time before tracing is completed: 08:23:48:50 ( 8 days 23 hours 48 minutes 50 seconds)]
Surely, that was a long time, but if he could find out the one who was watching him secretly, then it would be helpful after all it seemed like there was a strong being that was literally peeping at him.
Due to this, he might not be safe always so this was indeed a concern.
In any case, he could think about this a bit later because the watcher wasn't doing anything at the moment other than just watching, so he deemed it to be fine at the moment.
Other than that, he was intrigued by the pouch that the elf gave earlier.
'I wonder what this is…'
'Ding'
[ Repellent ]
[ Range: 300 meters ]
[ Ardri Herbs + Reliant Herbs ]
[ Natural Beast Repellent ]
[ With the mixture of Reliant Herb, Ardri Herbs which are natural beast repellent transform into herbs that can repel beasts or monsters with no names ]
[ Ineffective against the beasts with intelligence higher than 100 ]
[ Doesn't affect Elves, Humans, Dwarves, Dragons, etc ]
'I see, so this was the reason why monsters or beasts weren't approaching us…'
He figured out why it seemed so quiet as they walked until now.
'Elves do make some unique items…', Shin grinned.
Well, after waiting for a few minutes, he thought that it was best to start moving.
'I don't want to face any monster at the moment…'
'But I cannot possibly carry this in my mouth!'
'Hey system, do you have some way to use its effects?', Shin asked the system.
'Ding.
[ The system can scan the item and reproduce its effects ]
[ or ]
[ The system advises the host to tie the pouch around his neck with the help of a thread ]
"…"
Shin had a weird facial expression after seeing the advice but was intrigued by the first statement.
'Go with the first option.'
'Ding'
[ Command Accepted ]
The system then scanned the item and generated a feature for itself.
The item was then stored in the system with the name – Repellent – and occupied the second slot.
'Ding'
[ A new feature has been added to the system ]
[ Monster Warding – A feature that prevents any kind of monster to approach the host ]
[ Range: 500 meters ]
Of course, the feature wasn't as good as the item, but it was manageable.
"Let's go…"
Right after Shin said that Terran started walking too.
Well, now only Shin knew how to go and look for the witch.
'I wonder how long it will take if we go with this pace…', all Shin did was just wonder, however the system perceived it as a question and answered it.
'Ding'
[ 8 hours ]
'Eight hours…'
'I see…'
That was not that long as Shin had expected. But this meant that if he were to run at his full speed, he would end up arrived sooner than expected.
But he couldn't possibly leave Terran behind.
'Sigh, so many problems to take care of at the same time…'
'I had to go towards the south, but now I'm heading somewhat towards the east…', Shin was sighing again and again.
Whateve,r he couldn't stop now. He continued and soon enough five hours had passed by.
It had already become night and now Shin thought that it was in his best interest to rest because he had been walking continuously for five hours without eating anything or taking a small rest.
Terran was sweating profusely so yes, rest was needed the most at the moment.
"Let's take a break, Terran…", was what he said.
Terran nodded his head and just went and sat under a tree.
Shin wasted no time and went and sat near him while trying to ease his body, not that a large amount of fatigue had been accumulated.
"Master, how far is the place?"
"I think we have almost ended up near the edges…", was what Terran said.
"Yes…"
"Only a little amount of the journey is left…"
"Only 2 more hours…"
They had run a bit in the middle and taken a small short cut thanks to which they actually saved an hour.
"2 more hours!?"
"…"
To be continued…
