Survival Records of 3650 days in the Otherworld

Chapter 281: Age of Great Excavations (2)

“Wow, we’ve got a good find here!”

“Will I get a bonus for this?”

“This is great!”

People shouted in excitement. It was the best gift for these people who had come to another world while risking their lives. There were a lot of excavation sites led by merchants and mercenaries now. They were more eager to excavate part of the lands than the empire.

The Gate was going to close in a month, and they would be left alone in this world for ten years. Even so, more people still poured into the Gate.

Greed lured people over to the new world. They all dreamed of becoming rich and the Demon World was like a new world filled with riches and wonders. Many volunteered to move over with their families. The Khalodian Empire supplied everyone coming over and quickly worked to create a land for these people to live in.

The sun had almost set after five in the evening. The vast forests shook with the wind and a fresh breeze blew past Joonbum. Jinpok smiled and Doral frowned.

“Do you smell that?”

“It’s a good smell.”

“It doesn’t smell good.”

Jinpok and Doral gave contrasting answers to Joonbum’s question. It should’ve been a clean and fresh breeze, but this breeze had a mix of smells. This was their way of finding monsters hiding behind trees and bushes.

“Krrrr…”

And it wasn’t only the humans that caught their scent. The Keroxes trained to track monsters growled and barked.

Monsters jumped out and began charging at them.

“Our targets are the monsters hiding in those trees. We’ll rain fire upon them. Fire at will!”

Cannons fired at the monsters charging at them. However, the cannons weren’t just aimed at those monsters rushing at them. Their main targets were those hiding in the trees.

“Machine guns! Fire!”

Machine guns began to fire from the frontline, mowing down all the charging monsters.

Three hundred monsters were instantly decimated.

“There are just too many.”

“Yeah.”

The monsters then began to scatter and flee. Targeted shots meant nothing now.

“Hold fire! Be alert!”

The cannons stopped and the Ainos Guards began moving into the forest to chase down the escaped monsters.

“This will take a long time.”

Jinpok frowned as he took out a cigarette and lit it. Joonbum also took the cigarette to take a puff.

“Whew. We don’t even have a road here, this won’t do.”

Joonbum shook his head as he gazed at the vast forest in front of him. Pyongyang still had remnants of streets in the city and traces of civilization. However, after Pyongyang, they came across harsh mountainous terrain.

“This won’t allow us to advance any quicker.”

Doral frowned as he drank some water. There was a large opening in the ground that they were looking at, it was destroyed land which was common all around.

“So, our good ol’ days ended at Pyongyang. This will be harder than climbing up a mountain. What should we do? Not all of us are rock climbers.”

Joonbum thought for a second. They would need to fly over this landscape or it was not going to be possible to pass.

“I think we should stop here. It’s their nest.”

Doral pointed to the sky. There was an enormous sparrow flying over them.

‘An enormous sparrow…’

Those birds were a nightmare to soldiers of the empire. They were so big that they could pick up a grown adult like an insect. The only thing they feared were dragons.

“I guess we should stop here and fortify our defenses.”

It was disappointing as advancing just a little more meant that they would reach Mountain Baekdu, allowing them to control the entire peninsula.

“It’s okay, we got here faster than we thought we would. We still have those dragons and flying monsters to deal with, but they aren’t attacking us after we fought them a few times. So we’ll find a way to move up later. Oh, but it’s cold right now. Is it winter already?”

Jinpok shook. Fall was already coming to an end.
