The Captain Who Uses Map Hacks - Chapter 130
Only Krnovel
Episode 130 Sweet and transparent dew (5)
A tiger jumped out from the bush.
A one-eyed tiger who lost one eye.
The arrow I shot accurately pierced the tiger’s left eye, and it came to avenge its lost eye.
‘I saw it with the map hack and shot it, but I hit it.’
I grabbed my throbbing right shoulder.
‘Will I be able to hit the second arrow as well?’
Paaaa—!
A tiger was captured on the map hack that had been turned on in advance.
A blue holographic sphere floating before my eyes.
The inside was filled with the image of a tiger.
The tiger’s vital spot. The expected movement path of the gnome.
My arrow’s expected flight trajectory and impact point.
Where and how should I shoot to hit it?
All that information appeared in the map hack.
Crumbling… .
The tiger growled lowly.
But no one was scared and backed down.
We’ve come too far to be scared now.
The three of us each aimed our swords at the tiger, and I, with my throbbing shoulder, put an arrow on my bowstring.
Crumbling—
The tiger growled once more.
Maybe he did it to break our momentum.
Or maybe he did it to encourage himself.
When the response was poor, the tiger showed its teeth.
The moment when I was about to growl one more time.
“Wow!!!”
Patton puffed up his body like a bear and hit the player.
The tiger, which had just shown its teeth, flinched in surprise.
Food deuk!!
A loud noise that would startle a flock of birds on a tree and run away.
The sound that Patton made with all his might became an echo and reverberated throughout the mountain valley.
‘Thank you, Patton.’
The surprised tiger looked at Patton with a blank expression.
This is a great opportunity for me.
This is a golden opportunity to give the tiger one more shot.
I’m sorry—
‘I’ll end everything with this one shot.’
Piyuuung—!
The arrow sharply cut through the air.
At that moment, the tiger, feeling alive, jumped up.
puck!!
The arrow hit its right hind leg.
Wow!!!
The angry tiger suddenly lunged at Patton.
The tiger that rushed at him like lightning knocked him down again, and Patton rolled around on the floor again.
But when the tiger’s paw crushes him.
He let go of the knife and tackled the tiger’s paw with his bare hands.
“Ugh!! Come on!! “Let’s see who is stronger!!”
He grabbed the tiger’s paw with his hand.
And then the struggle of power with the great tiger began.
The force is so great that even the tiger is surprised.
However, if the tiger applies the right amount of force, Patton dies.
“Malcolm! “Help Patton!!”
“okay! “I’m going now!!”
Malcolm Brown screamed and swung his sword.
The silver blade flashed its luster and cut through the air.
The tiger pressed down on Patton and dodged the knife like acrobats.
Malcolm’s sword skills become increasingly urgent and monotonous.
The moment when the tiger even snorted as if it was funny.
Pugh—
Yuhwa’s sword pierced the tiger’s left front leg.
Big!!
The tiger jumped and retreated to the bushes.
Red, hot blood dripped from its left front leg.
Yuhwa’s surprise attack from a blind spot was successful.
“Oh my god! “I thought it was just flattening out!”
Patton also stood up, twirling his shoulders and loosening them.
He picked up the treasured sword he had thrown away earlier and took a stance against the tiger.
“Hey, what are you looking at? Mr. Hwak. Come on!!”
Growling!!
The tiger did not attack but went straight into the bush.
But that was a big problem.
Saaaa—
The bushes swayed in the increasingly strong winter north wind.
The tiger’s pattern blended perfectly into the swaying shadow.
“ah! Captain Lee Man-seok!! “The tiger is gone!!”
“No, the wind keeps blowing! “How can you not?!”
Patton and Malcolm looked around, making a fuss.
On the other hand, Yuhwa adjusted her grip on her sword in a more calm manner.
But tension was evident in her eyes as well.
Because we know best how dangerous a surprise attack from a blind spot is.
“Captain Lee Man-seok!! What do I do now?!”
“Calm down and look east.”
But it is no use for a tiger to hide for a hundred days.
Because I have a map hack.
“It’s next to the bent pine tree to the east.”
The three people turned their heads and frowned at the same time.
Beyond the bushes swaying in the wind.
The tiger’s only remaining golden eye flashed.
“found! “You bastard, come at me!!”
Growling!!
The tiger, whose location was exposed, quickly hid in another bush.
As soon as I did that, I found him right away with the map hack.
“Behind the rocks to the southeast.”
Growling!!
“The bush between two trees to the south.”
Crrrrrrrrr!!!
“Behind the western waterfall.”
No matter where and how the tiger moves, it ends up in the palm of my hand.
There is no chance of being ambushed by a tiger.
But, the problem is… .
“But Captain Lee Man-seok. “How do we catch him?”
The problem was that the tiger kept moving.
He changed his strategy and moved cautiously.
Even if I aim my bow, it quickly notices and changes position.
Thanks to the map hack, precise aiming is possible.
As long as you aim and pull the bowstring, it will run away.
‘The aim is accurate, but I can’t get the time right.’
If time drags on like this, it is to the tiger’s advantage.
Its thick hide protects it from the cold winter winds.
Soon night comes, and we suffer from cold and darkness.
Neither of these matters to the tiger.
“I can’t do it. Patton!”
“yes! “Captain!”
“You should be the bait!”
“All right! “Just leave it to me!”
Malcolm was shocked at what I said.
I was once again shocked by Patton’s reaction.
Without any chance for him to intervene, Patton raised his sword and struck the cliff.
“Hey, you damn beast!! “Jump out now!!”
A loud roar as if a train firebox had been boiled.
The clanging sound of hitting a stone with a piece of iron.
For animals with sensitive senses, this is torture in itself.
just as expected. A tiger jumped out from behind the waterfall.
Crumbling!!
“Ughhhhh!!”
This time, Patton must have prepared properly, as he stood firmly on his legs without falling.
But I guess I still don’t know how to use a knife.
He threw away the treasured sword he had been given and fought the tiger with his bare hands.
“Captain Lee Man-seok!! “Now!!”
I’m sorry—
I checked the expected trajectory shown in the map hack.
Found the angle at which the arrow pierced the tiger’s head.
I let go of the protest that I had been pulling with all my might.
Piyuuung—
at that time.
The tiger suddenly fell flat on the ground.
puck!!
The arrow missed and got lodged in a crevice in the rock of the cliff.
The tiger ran straight in the direction from which the arrow came.
I’m the only one in front of it.
Malcolm and Yuhwa rushed in, but they were both a step late.
‘As expected, he was saving his strength to target me!’
I quickly tied an arrow to the bowstring.
But even before the protest.
thud!!
My body floated in the air as if I had been hit by a car.
The adrenaline was soaring that I lost all sense of feeling.
thud! thud!
A tiger’s paw landed on my bed as it rolled on the floor.
The impact alone is enough to crush your head.
As I fell, I saw a tiger’s face in front of me.
There was anger in his only golden eye.
The distorted jaw exuded cruelty.
It bares its teeth and opens its jaw wide.
The red maw appeared as if covered in blood.
“Captain Lee Man-seok!!!”
Adrenaline was pumping like crazy.
The tiger’s jaws slowly approached the nape of my neck.
A moment that feels like an eternity.
I looked at the map hack with all my strength.
‘done.’
Yuhwa jumped on the tiger’s back.
In her hand was the bow I had lost.
In the air, Yuhwa pulled the bowstring with all his might.
Peeeeee—
The arrow swam through the air like a fish.
The arrow Yuhwa shot gently pierced between the tiger’s eyebrows.
The focus soon disappeared from his golden eyes.
The open mouth closed weakly.
thud!!
Time passed normally again.
The tiger’s body fell sideways.
Yuhwa threw away her bow and helped me up.
Patton, covered in scratches, came running with Malcolm.
“Captain Lee Man-seok!!! Are you okay?!”
“I-I’m fine.”
Actually, I don’t even know if I’m okay.
I couldn’t feel the pain due to the rush of adrenaline.
In the end, I had to take a hard look at myself using Map Hack.
A few light bruises.
Other than that, there were no major injuries.
“Thank goodness… “There were no serious injuries.”
“Oh my, I almost got into big trouble!
“Captain Lee Man-seok!! What happened?!”
Malcolm also ran over and supported my other shoulder.
“They say they know everything! But don’t you know there’s a tiger running?!”
“I knew. First, give me some water.”
Malcolm opened the lid and put the canteen to my mouth.
I gulped down some water and cleared my throat.
“phew. “This tiger was quick-witted and clever.”
I wiped the water from my mouth with the back of my hand.
“If you want to catch it, you have no choice but to use bait.”
“So I became the bait?!”
“No, Patton. “The bait was me.”
“Yeah??”
“I become the bait, and oil painting finishes off the tiger.”
I took another gulp of water from the canteen.
“Fufu. That was the best. “I’m good at aiming, but I’m not strong enough to inflict fatal wounds.”
Patton pounded his chest with a frustrated look on his face.
“Then, I can just shoot the arrow!”
“You can’t, Patton. “You are strong, but you have no aim.”
“Tsk… .”
Patton just licked his lips as if he had nothing to say.
“And Malcolm, you’re just like me. In the end, Yuhwa had no choice but to finish it.”
“In that case, Captain Lee Man-seok. “Why don’t you tell me your plan from the beginning?”
I got off the support and staggered and stood upright with difficulty.
Then he looked at the oil painting with a commercial smile.
“But you had fun, right?”
Yuhwa looked down at her hands in silence.
And I gathered myself together as if I had goosebumps.
“Mr. Yuhwa. You say you want to enjoy freedom? So I gave it a chance.”
“… “If I did something wrong, I could have died.”
“Sailors always live prepared to die.”
The ever-changing sea, weather, prices, and sailors’ morale.
A sailor is someone who navigates chaos without even knowing what lies ahead.
I, Malcolm, and Patton are sailors.
I had already prepared to die.
“anyway. I also caught a tiger. Now that I’ve paid off my drinking debt and found some water… .”
“Oh my!! Captain Lee Man-seok! “Be careful!”
My legs suddenly lost strength.
As I relaxed, the aftereffects of adrenaline rushed through my body like a storm.
My whole body hurt, as if I had been beaten with a stick.
So much so that it’s hard to even move a finger.
“We have to go back to Seolchon Village right away.”
Yuhwa understood my situation right away.
She ordered Malcolm and Patton.
“Two minutes. Please help Captain Lee Man-seok.”
“No, I will do the support myself.”
Malcolm burrowed into my shoulder and supported me.
“There, Patton! “You take care of that tiger!”
“A tiger? Baron Malcolm. Now is the time… .”
“Yuhwa hunted!”
Malcolm grinned mischievously and wiped his nose.
“Of course I have to take it! Isn’t that right, Captain Lee Man-seok?”
“okay. “I have to take this because it becomes evidence of tiger hunting.”
“Did you hear, Yuhwa? I will support this guy… .”
Malcolm opened his chest wide as if telling people to trust only him.
“Yuhwa, trust me and lead the way!
* * *
Shoot ahhh. Shoot… .
A ship reached the dock with its sails flapping.
The ferry keeper went to look at the ship and then retreated in surprise.
Fifteen naval soldiers in military uniforms stomped off the ship.
General Yoo Seok, who was leading them, asked the ferry keeper.
“Is this Seolchon Village?”
“Yes, yes. That’s right. If you follow the road there… .”
Yoo Seok found a familiar ship anchored at the dock.
“Is there a foreigner named Lee Man-seok in the village?”
“ah! If it were him, he would have climbed Mt. Baeksan.”
“what?!”
Yoo Seok immediately shouted at the ferry keeper.
“I went to Baeksan! “Didn’t I tell you that there are man-eating tigers?!”
“I would have told you! Because I didn’t tell you directly… .”
Yoo Seok left the ferry keeper alone and entered the village.
The residents whispered at the sudden appearance of the military.
“Chief! Where is he?!”
“Who found me?”
The village chief of Seolchon was shocked when he tried to leave the house.
Because naval forces in military uniform were surrounding the front of the house.
“Ah, no, how could the general… .”
“A foreigner named Lee Man-seok came to visit. “There is a ship at the ferry port. Are you sure it is in Seolchon Village?”
The village chief bowed his head and answered.
“Captain Lee Man-seok is heading to Baeksan… .”
“Even though I knew there was a man-eating tiger coming!!”
“Well, there hasn’t been any news from Daeho for several months… .”
Yoo Seok shouted with an angry face.
“Everyone listen! Night soon comes to the mountains. “There is no time to waste, so we begin the search for Captain Lee Man-seok immediately!”
“Who is looking for me?”
The people who were talking became quiet at the same time.
The crowd that had gathered like a cloud split apart to the left and right.
At the end, I walked out, supported by Malcolm.
“Ah, General Yoo Seok. “It’s nice to see you again.”
“Captain Lee Man-seok! I’m glad you’re safe. however… .”
General Yoo Seok looked at me and smiled.
I got angry when I saw Yuhwa following me.
I was shocked to see Dae-ho’s body following Yu-hwa.
“Hey, these are all…” how… “What happened?!”
“Oh, it’s a long story to explain.”
I was completely relaxed and burst into laughter.
“Your sister hunted a great tiger, so please praise her.”
“You mean oil painting? By what means… .”
“For more details… .”
Grumble—
Patton scratched his stomach with an embarrassed face.
I said, ‘Okay then.’ I burst out laughing.
“I’ll explain while we eat.”
