Chapter 48 – B-Class Hunter’s Quick Hunt
If it’s an A-class rift, the boss is probably A+ or S-class.
It was the perfect grade to challenge with my current skills.
If a rift suitable for my level had appeared in such a close place, I couldn’t just pass it over.
Although it wouldn’t raise the milking skill level like defeating [Medusa], It was possible to raise the general level.
And generally, crack clearing has higher rewards than field raids, so it was good to cover the cost of moving to Seoul.
Get a house in a scenic location in a safe area.
We arrived at the access road of the control area in the east of Gyeonggi-do.
“This is Chunun, a B-class Hunter, and Lee Yu-na.”
“Yes, I checked. Please come this way.”
The special forces who checked the identities of the hunters were busy.
Hunters were flocking from all over the nearby area.
The larger the rift, the more hunters gather to attack.
Small and medium-sized guilds, free agent hunters, hunter management bureau employees, and many other people gathered and buzzed.
“We are recruiting for the 1st attack team.”
“There is our guild, the Junseong Guild. Other small and medium-sized guilds and troops have been combined.”
“I don’t accept hunters below D-class. With an elite group of people, we will focus on clearing the road rather than rooting.”
The people who had arrived early were piled up and forming an advance party.
The role of the advance team is to open the way for the second team to enter.
The main task was to enter the rift first, dig traps, and fight the monsters, rather than collecting items from dead monsters or recovering materials from corpses.
A thoroughly fighting role.
It was exactly the role I wanted. Since the experience was urgent, if you join the advance party, you will be able to hunt to your heart’s content.
Item loot can only be done from the boss.
Miscellaneous rewards, such as other crack clearing shares, can be collected later.
I raised my hand and applied for the advance team.
“Who are you?”
“I am Cheonun, a B-class Hunter from the Southern Gyeonggi Special District. This is the B-class hunter reason.”
“Ah!”
Hunter, who was recruiting people, saw us and exclaimed.
“You’re the one who cleared Harpy Field this time and rose to B rank, right? I have heard many of you.”
My impression soon became sad. Know me
“This is Kim Young-il of our guild. Nice to see you.”
“Hello.”
“Oh, it’s nice to go through the rift with you. It’s fate that we met like this, so why don’t you go hunting with our party?”
He tried to take me and Lee Yu-na to the people of our guild who were in between the advance party.
“Wait, who are these people?”
Someone from the Junseong Guild came out.
“I am Chunun, a B-rank Hunter. This is the reason for being a party member.”
“Chunun, a B-class hunter? The hunter who caught and reported the scavenger guild guys who attacked from the rift?”
“Yes, what about it?”
“I heard that there is no guild yet. If you get a chance, join our Junseong Guild and try hunting together…”
A strange competition ensued.
In the southern Gyeonggi special district, B-class hunters were rare.
Moreover, I don’t have a guild, and the person I formed a party with was B-class Hunter Lee Yu-na.
Hunters who are young and full of potential.
It would have been great if he could recruit from the Junseong guild or our guild.
“Hey, what are you doing right now, didn’t you see the conversation we had first?”
“Well, just looking at it, it’s only the cider I met for the first time today. Who are you trying to recruit from the future Junseong Guild?”
Junseong Guild and Woori Guild seemed to have a bad relationship.
They growl at each other and disturb each other.
Anyway, I’m not from the future Junseong Guild.
It was nice to feel the will to recruit me, but I had no particular intention of joining either side.
“If you hunt with our guild, you will change your mind. Here is veteran hunter Gu Yeon-woong, who has been hunting without incident for 10 years in the southern Gyeonggi special district…”
“The best guild in the southern Gyeonggi Special District is the Junseong Guild. We will raise you to become the best hunter on earth. Let’s go hunting with Junseong Guild. I’ll clear the rift as well as your test. I will pay you well.”
They coaxed me out by talking about the advantages of each.
“Thank you for your kind words, but I’m not going to any party this time.”
“Oh, is that so?”
“Why not.”
People from Woori Guild who are friendly and people from Junseong Guild who speak casually.
Both eyes widened when the offer was rejected.
“I will focus on hunting. The goal is to catch as many monsters as possible and earn experience points.”
“For that reason, it is better to join our guild…”
“You spoke well. There is no place that focuses on hunting as much as the Junseong Guild. You have spirit at such a young age.”
People who listen to me and like more.
I struggled to resist their persuasion.
When the time came and the crew was full, the advance team departed.
*
The control zone was an uninhabited place.
The land where people gave up on living because there were so many cracks in the danger zone.
Here, alienization was in progress, and monsters that were covered with fields or protruded from cracks roamed around.
The reason hunters were dispatched to clear the A-class rift this time was because the new rift was so strong that they could not stand by.
Since no one lives there anyway, it would have been okay if the fielding was progressed to Class C or D, but if it was fielded to Class A, tremendous damage would occur to the surrounding area.
Class C and D monsters popping out of the control area,
An A-class monster popping out.
Even if you compare it simply, if an A-class monster pops out, it would literally be a disaster.
So, if a class A crack appeared, it was a controlled area and it was clear by putting in a hunter.
That’s why we came here
“To get to the A-class rift, you must pass through the C-class and D-class fields on the map.”
“It’s good to hunt down the boss in the field as you go. It’s because it’s tidy if the field is organized while the raid team is in.”
The hunters of the advance party gathered around and exchanged opinions.
The S-class Hunter has not arrived yet. Four A-class and ten B-class members were the main strength of the advance party.
The rest are C grade.
The A-class hunters of the Woori Guild and Junseong Guild decided on their career paths.
We decided to split the party and clear the field and enter the rift.
“Cheonwoon Hunter, would you really like to come with us? This is also related.”
“A-class cracks will be difficult for a B-class hunter to hunt without a proper party. Let’s go with Junseong Guild.”
The guild members added a word before parting.
“I’m sorry, but we’re the fastest when we hunt together. Good luck to the guild members. We will meet again safely.”
We greeted each other with a simple formality.
“Let’s go.”
She took me for a reason and left the place.
Now it was free hunting time.
I will quickly break through this field, enter the rift, and level up.
I’m sorry to the guild members, but the only thing they had to deal with was the minnow. I’ll clear the main route, so I’ll leave it to you to clean up the junk mobs.
“Where did the crack and the shortest route go? Didn’t I say that you just have to cross the C-class ‘Hill of the Longevity Wasps’?”
I asked why.
When the members of the advance party were discussing, I heard everything about the rift strategy from the side.
I got a rough idea of the field in the controlled area.
“I thought it was this way.”
Lee Yu-na pointed her finger at the hill in the straight path.
A place where trees grow thick and bee monsters fly around.
A place where man-eating flowers bloom and large insects infest.
It was a field that I really didn’t want to approach even from the outside.
“Are you ready?”
“Yes.”
I drank the vitality potions I had purchased in advance and checked my equipment.
She warmed up slightly and started walking in front of her.
Lee Yu-na was supporting me behind me.
She will be able to do it by defeating the monsters like she did in Harpy Field.
It’s rather easy because it’s a C-class field. It goes by quickly.
She touched the wasp house.
C-class large longevity hornets rose to the surface with the sound of a helicopter.
Usually, when a long-lived wasp that is 5 cm long flies next to it, it makes some kind of drone sound, but since these were 1m long, the sound of their wings flapping was comparable to that of a helicopter propeller.
[Perforation Split]
When my magic power crossed the wasp nest, all the monsters caught in the middle were cut off.
[You have killed the Hardback Leather Wasp (C+ level monster)!]
[You have defeated the weak water bee (class D monster)!]
[You have killed the bee hunter longevity wasp (class C monster)!]
…
Many messages rang without a break.
It was like that when you cut down many enemies at once.
Wow! Ween!
After using a big technique, the wasps set up their stingers and stung me this time.
I strongly activated [Hate on non-milking subjects] And fought back.
The defense was high, so there was no great damage from the poison needle.
Reason: I was safe by sticking behind me.
By the way, where is the boss monster?
There were too many of them to go through and kill them one by one.
I found the queen bee.
Broken wasp nest.
A large wasp was coming out with the caterpillars.
It looked 3 times bigger than the normal longevity wasp.
[Large longevity wasp queen (Class B boss monster)]
Check system messages.
Found the boss monster.
[One-point crushing]
A charge technique performed while [Disgusting non-milking target] Activated high.
The boss monster in the C-class field was easily pierced.
[You have defeated the mighty longevity wasp queen (B-class boss monster)!]
[The magic of the other world that formed the field is dispelled!]
[You have cleared the field!]
[Clear reward will be given!]
[Additional rewards are given by clearing the field in a short amount of time!]
…
The monsters lost their energy and fled in all directions when their mana was dissipated.
I took the magic stone of the defeated boss monster and headed forward again.

“The place we will enter is the ‘Hill of the Longevity Wasp’, a C-class field. Got it?”
Down the hill.
The raid leader of our guild party.
A-rank hunter Gu Yeon-woong gathered people.
“The longevity wasp is a difficult monster to deal with bare-body, but it’s not that difficult to deal with if it has high defense. Equip everyone with heavy equipment. And use fire-type attacks mainly. The opponent is a bug type. Vulnerable to temperature.”
“Yes!”
The hunters responded bravely to Gu Yeon-woong’s explanation.
As a veteran hunter, Gu Yeon-woong’s method of dealing with monsters was a practical knowledge that became bone and flesh for ordinary hunters.
He listened to his words two or three times and treasured them all in his head.
“In formation #1, put your shields first and focus on defense. You’re taking on the stings of the wasps that charge you. If the defensive ranks are breached, the people behind will suffer great damage, so act responsibly.”
“Yes, I understand!”
Tanker-type hunters held their shields in front of them and answered confidently.
“Formation No. 2 concentrates on filling gaps with swords. If there is a wasp that comes in through the shield, kill it before attacking other hunters, and protect mages, healers, and archers mainly. Got it?”
“Yes, Captain!”
Warrior-type hunters wore heavy armor and stared at Gu Yeon-woong.
“Formation No. 3 is located at the innermost part of the formation and intercepts the enemy from a long distance. Archers and wizards fill these positions. The healer forms a shield from the inside and supports the wounded. If you have a problem, stick to the prosecutors around you. Got it?”
“Yeah!”
Even though they were wearing light armor and robes, the hunters who stood in a safe position answered confidently.
With this formation, you will be safe from the attacks of the wasps, which are fast.
“Ruler! Let the field attack begin! Raising the status of our guild in the controlled area! Where is the true 1st Guild in the Southern Gyeonggi Special District? That’s our guild, not that Junseong!”
Gu Yeon-woong raised his sword and shouted.
He boosted the morale of the guild members before a fierce battle took place.
An A-class crack that appears only once a year in Gyeonggi-do. In order to destroy that large rift, all preparations had to be perfect.
“Us! Us!”
The cries of the warriors echoed.
Like soldiers going to the battlefield rather than guild members, everyone raised their voices and chanted together.
Their morale seemed to pierce the sky.
So Yeon-woong Gu started climbing the hill in the lead.
The guild members in the back also lined up and carefully set out on the road.
[You have cleared the field!]
[The magic of the other world that formed the field is dispelled!]
[Clear reward will be given!]
[No results!]
[Reward tally is cancelled!]
A system message was heard by everyone.
They climbed the field and did not find any star monsters,
I had to deal with wasps who lost their magic and wandered around, and normal monsters that had lost their way and invaded the field.
‘Damn it, are they the Junseong Guild guys?’
Gu Yeon-woong bit his lip.
I definitely wanted to go to the crack by a different route, but I didn’t expect it to hit the player like this.
I couldn’t imagine that the two B-class hunters who started earlier cleared the field.
Because generally, there was no way that B-class hunters could clear the C-class field this quickly.
“It seems like someone cleared the field. You won’t have to fight wasps, but that’s good! We enter the rift without any power leaks!”
Gu Yeon-woong raised the morale of the hunters again.
“Wow.”
The reaction was languid.
