Chapter 229: Exploration (1)

That’s why, in addition to training them properly, I put Lackey in charge of watching over them.

But in the end, they’re still children, so they often can’t resist their impulses.

Although I had been very busy training those little troublemakers, I somehow managed to finish.

“If nothing unexpected happens during the entire expedition! voyage I’ll give you a sweet potato.”

“!!”

If he saw even the slightest sign that the little ones were trying to wander off somewhere, he had to stop them immediately.

The moment he heard he’d be getting a sweet potato as a reward, Lackey’s eyes went wide.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 229: Exploration (1) by Indra Translations.

So it was only natural for him to get excited knowing it would be his reward.

He had enjoyed sweet potatoes so much during the winter that even his cheeks had become rounder.

Even now, whenever he saw a sweet potato, he’d do little hops of excitement, though after I gave him a stern warning, he no longer made a scene.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 229: Exploration (1) by Indra Translations.

“Oh, and there’s one more thing.”

“Understood?”

“Leave it to me!”

Besides that, I had another task for Lackey.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 229: Exploration (1) by Indra Translations.

In case of an emergency, he had to put the gas masks on the four-legged animals. All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com

As for me, I’d be in charge of Tyran.

So we divided up the responsibilities.

Animals with front legs instead of hands could hardly put on a mask by themselves.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 229: Exploration (1) by Indra Translations.

Ludwig and Sloth would take care of Largo and Wonmo, respectively.

He simply ran away.

‘Tyran still isn’t comfortable with other people touching him.’

It wasn’t that he growled and refused to let anyone approach.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 229: Exploration (1) by Indra Translations.

Although Ludwig kept trying patiently, he still hadn’t made any progress.

Not only did he twist his whole body with happiness, but he even showed me his belly.

On the other hand, whenever I petted him.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 229: Exploration (1) by Indra Translations.

“Peeep. altitude Peep.”

“Yes, yes. canvas You’re so adorable.”

Just like right now.

He was so affectionate that I had no choice but to take care of him myself.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 229: Exploration (1) by Indra Translations.

Just looking at him made me smile.

He even started purring like a cat.

When I gently scratched under his chin, Tyran happily smiled as he wagged his tail from side to side.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 229: Exploration (1) by Indra Translations.

I couldn’t keep it all to myself.

So I immediately made a post in the gallery.

‘I have to upload this.’

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 229: Exploration (1) by Indra Translations.

I won’t accept any objections.

Afterward, just as the head moderator had said, I uploaded more photos and videos.

But it was time to stop slacking off.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 229: Exploration (1) by Indra Translations.

Now, just before setting off, I checked my equipment one more time.

Last night I received the fasting pills from HeavenlyDemon and prepared everything I needed.

We’d be setting out on our expedition soon.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 229: Exploration (1) by Indra Translations.

We planned to venture much farther, so thorough preparation was essential.

This time, we wouldn’t be returning to a place we already knew.

“Let’s see. alert Food, gas masks, safety spheres, Purifying Canteens, elixir…”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 229: Exploration (1) by Indra Translations.

I also had to consider the possibility of getting stranded.

I’d already gone through situations like this several times, so I had to be even more careful.

I had no idea what dangers awaited us or what supernatural phenomena might appear.

[Hey. artist Can I ask you something?]

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 229: Exploration (1) by Indra Translations.

Cain approached with a curious expression.

It was just as Ludwig and I were finishing our preparations.

[Since you have the gallery anyway, do you really need to prepare all this?]

“What would you like to ask?”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 229: Exploration (1) by Indra Translations.

But I’d already made up my mind before they even arrived.

Ludwig probably thought the same thing.

From Cain’s point of view, it was a reasonable question.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 229: Exploration (1) by Indra Translations.

That was precisely why I had to be even more careful.

Even to a dragon, I was quite an unusual person.

“You never know what might happen. attic I can use it now, but there might be somewhere inside the Forest of the Four Seasons where even I can’t access the gallery.”

Not to rely on the gallery.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 229: Exploration (1) by Indra Translations.

The fasting pills were nothing more than emergency rations.

“That’s why I’m only bringing the fasting pills.”

[Hmm. athlete That makes sense. acid Still, I wish you’d brought more food.]

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 229: Exploration (1) by Indra Translations.

I’d probably end up buying food mainly for Tyran and Wonmo.

Sloth was the unusual one for using them as his main source of food.

And if not, I could always buy it through the gallery.

If possible, I’d rather obtain food by hunting during the journey.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 229: Exploration (1) by Indra Translations.

Lackey was an omnivore too, so he could get by on plants.

‘As for Largo, she’s fine just eating whatever grass she finds nearby.’

What if he complained about going from eating meat to eating vegetables?

Money was the one thing I had plenty of.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 229: Exploration (1) by Indra Translations.

‘The only problem left is the ambergris.’

Then he could go hunting himself.

I couldn’t help spoiling the little ones because they were still growing, but an adult was a different story.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 229: Exploration (1) by Indra Translations.

The ambergris I’d been keeping inside the storage backpack until now.

However, that didn’t change the fact that it was still an extraordinarily valuable item.

That’s why I had to find a way to get rid of the ambergris I was carrying, though it wasn’t an easy decision.

It floated gently like a helium balloon and had ended up becoming an excellent toy for the little ones.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 229: Exploration (1) by Indra Translations.

It was only a guess, but you never knew.

‘Hmm I’d better leave it with AllFather.’

If I was unlucky, even the ground itself might break loose and start floating.

‘If I bury it, I don’t know what might happen.’

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 229: Exploration (1) by Indra Translations.

Since I didn’t plan on using it for anything anyway, I gladly agreed.

I asked if he could store it temporarily because I had nowhere to keep it.

AllFather replied that he didn’t mind, though he asked if he could keep a small piece of the ambergris. Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 229: Exploration (1) by Indra Translations.

“Mister Ludwig. wizard Are you feeling any discomfort?”

I checked several times to make sure no supplies were missing, and I also checked on everyone else.

Once I left the ambergris with AllFather, all the preparations were complete.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 229: Exploration (1) by Indra Translations.

[Good grief.]

“……”

“That doesn’t even count as discomfort.”

“My leg hurts.”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 229: Exploration (1) by Indra Translations.

Although there was a small incident, we finally finished all the preparations for the expedition.

Title) Preparations for the Expedition Complete!

Just before setting off, I announced the start of the expedition in the gallery.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 229: Exploration (1) by Indra Translations.

It wasn’t very accurate, but it was better than having nothing.

After receiving those enthusiastic “words of encouragement” (?) from both the registered users and the anonymous ones, I walked over to the cave wall.

Drawn on it was a map of every area I had explored so far.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 229: Exploration (1) by Indra Translations.

And the chickens were dangerous.

I couldn’t go where the gorilla was because of Sloth.

‘I’d better avoid the area where the gorilla and the chickens are.’

If I were alone, it would be a different story, but with such a large group, they’d pose a considerable threat.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 229: Exploration (1) by Indra Translations.

That left only one option.

‘All I have to do is tie the World Tree’s thread here and move in a straight line.’

The mandrake colony.

I’d never gone beyond that area before, so we’d continue advancing from there.

The route was perfect.

I turned my head to look at the group.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 229: Exploration (1) by Indra Translations.

“Peeeep! apple Peep!”

“Kyuuuu!” This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com.

I was planning to give them a speech so they could prepare themselves mentally, since it would be a long journey.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 229: Exploration (1) by Indra Translations.

As an extra measure, I also warned them that if they fought again, I wouldn’t give them any food.

In the end, I had to separate Tyran and Wonmo again because they had started fighting once more.

“Oh, you two…”

My speech was completely forgotten.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 229: Exploration (1) by Indra Translations.

“The formation will be exactly as we discussed yesterday. august I’ll go in front, Mister Ludwig will stay in the center, and Lackey will guard the rear. august Understood?”

They calmed down immediately.

“Understood.”

Fortunately, they always obeyed whenever food was involved.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 229: Exploration (1) by Indra Translations.

Naturally, Ludwig would be riding on Largo.

Since Largo was so enormous, that was the best way to maintain mobility.

He would travel slightly apart from the rest.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 229: Exploration (1) by Indra Translations.

“And I’ll say it one more time. adapt Don’t eat anything without my permission. wizard Especially mushrooms. academy Understood?”

“Peep?”

“Kyuu?”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 229: Exploration (1) by Indra Translations.

“……”

Now it really was time to set out.

I reminded them once again just before we departed.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 229: Exploration (1) by Indra Translations.

The real exploration would begin from there.

All that remained was reaching the mandrake colony.

Even though the preparations alone had taken us quite a while, that was completely normal.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 229: Exploration (1) by Indra Translations.

Maintaining our formation, we reached the mandrake colony without any problems.

As I walked past countless adult mandrakes, I thought about it.

‘This is the first time I’ve gone past this place.’

Until two days ago, it had been the site of a territorial dispute, but now silence reigned.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 229: Exploration (1) by Indra Translations.

You could also see other plants growing among them.

Each one was an immensely valuable plant monster.

It was probably a consequence of the recent territorial conflict.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 229: Exploration (1) by Indra Translations.

Eventually, we left both the mandrakes and that strange patch of vegetation behind.

“Yes.”

I didn’t know what those plants were, but for now, it was better not to touch them.

“The scenery has changed.”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 229: Exploration (1) by Indra Translations.

Before us appeared a forest with a much lighter shade of green than anywhere else.

Although the unfamiliar scenery made me a little tense, there was no turning back now.

The area around the shelter was covered in deep green, while beyond the colony, a light green dominated the landscape.

At first glance, it looked like a place overflowing with vegetation.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 229: Exploration (1) by Indra Translations.

I warned the group before continuing forward.

“Plant monsters usually release poison. acquire Put on your gas masks.”

I didn’t know if it was because the place looked like a jungle or because countless different plants grew there.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 229: Exploration (1) by Indra Translations.

But vines were everywhere.

‘Nothing seems out of the ordinary.’

So I hacked a path through them using HeavenlyDemon’s sword like a machete.

Thanks to the analysis ability I had gained from Pumpkin Jack’s inner core.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 229: Exploration (1) by Indra Translations.

Occasionally, something would glow, but nothing worth paying attention to.

‘It’s so quiet…’

But even with it, I couldn’t detect anything unusual.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 229: Exploration (1) by Indra Translations.

Only the echoes of our own footsteps.

There was no sound of insects.

Nor of birds.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 229: Exploration (1) by Indra Translations.

Something was wrong.

“……”

“…Stop.”

I realized it instinctively.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 229: Exploration (1) by Indra Translations.

As soon as they halted, I examined our surroundings.

Everyone stopped the moment I gave the order.

But Ludwig and Cain weren’t.

“It’s too quiet.”

The animals seemed confused by my reaction.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 229: Exploration (1) by Indra Translations.

[You can’t hear insects or birds.]

It was a lush green forest full of vegetation. Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.

But paradoxically.

They seemed to have sensed that strange feeling as well.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 229: Exploration (1) by Indra Translations.

There was no life.

‘I don’t see anything. airport But…’

What was that unsettling feeling?

I felt a pressure weighing down on my body.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 229: Exploration (1) by Indra Translations.

“Lackey. arcade Give me the materials for the torch.”

After all, it could be a hidden plant monster.

However, if we ignored that unease and continued forward, I had no idea what might happen.

No matter how carefully we observed our surroundings, we couldn’t find anything out of the ordinary.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 229: Exploration (1) by Indra Translations.

I decided to light a torch.

“Understood.”

If there really were plant monsters hiding nearby, it was better to be prepared.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 229: Exploration (1) by Indra Translations.

Fwoosh!

And many beasts as well.

Fire was what plants hated the most.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 229: Exploration (1) by Indra Translations.

Now there had to be a reaction.

The moment I brought the fire-starting stone to the oil-soaked torch, flames immediately sprang up.

Ruuuum!!

Just as I expected.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 229: Exploration (1) by Indra Translations.

I opened my mouth to order the group to prepare for battle.

Or rather.

The moment the fire appeared, the response came.

I was just about to.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 229: Exploration (1) by Indra Translations.

Whoooosh!!

Until the entire forest began to move.

I mean the bushes, the trees, the vines, and even the leaf-covered ground.

And when I say the entire forest.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 229: Exploration (1) by Indra Translations.

All of it began moving as though it were fleeing.

We ran straight against the direction in which the forest was moving.

As absurd as it sounded, it was really happening.

“Run in the opposite direction!”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 229: Exploration (1) by Indra Translations.

If we let ourselves get swept along, we’d probably end up trapped.

Right back toward the mandrake colony.

Thanks to that quick decision, we managed to escape.

And then.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 229: Exploration (1) by Indra Translations.

The ground beneath my feet was perfectly ordinary soil.

I stood there, completely dumbfounded, watching the “entrance to the forest” race away at incredible speed.

Whoosh!!

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 229: Exploration (1) by Indra Translations.

“…A Hell of Weeds?”

[It’s a Hell of Weeds.]

Dry, barren earth where not a single blade of grass grew.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 229: Exploration (1) by Indra Translations.

Even Cain spoke in disbelief.

This had exceeded even his expectations.

[Do you know about antlion pits? ability It’s something similar. portal It disguises itself as a thicket to lure in small prey. adjust Normally, it only grows to the size of a bush…]

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 229: Exploration (1) by Indra Translations.

“……”

[I never imagined it could become an entire forest. amber If we’d kept moving forward, we would’ve ended up inside its stomach.]

This forest really was insane.

Just as I thought.
