Solo Eating to Overpowered

Episode 131:

I thought it was a passageway where at most one person could pass by or not. However, what came into view was a tunnel so huge that it could easily be considered a tunnel!

This was on a scale that was difficult to even guess where it started. X opened his mouth softly.

“light.”

Light, a skill taught to me by Rounds! Like Magic Arrow, it belonged to basic magic.

Fluffy! A round light appeared around X, illuminating the surrounding area. X shrugged his shoulders.

‘I’m definitely feeling better now that I’ve learned the skill. After all, you have to hold a lot of things.’

After thinking about this, X immediately started walking down the underground passage. The person who created the passage did not seem to have ordinary shoveling skills.

X stuck out his tongue.

“How fast are you shoveling?”

Even considering the time it took to dig up the ground and come down, this was an unreasonable shoveling speed.

It’s natural to feel nervous after confirming your unusual abilities. It was around this time that X took out his weapon and went a long way again.

‘…found.’

I could see a shadow moving far ahead.

Pabababak!

There was a constant sound of digging into the ground. X immediately turned off the light.

‘If they were really digging a tunnel targeting Xernis.’

All I could guess was that they were worshipers of another being. The worshipers must already be aware that the contaminated rune stones have been purified.

There was a good chance that they would attack Xernis before he got up again, targeting the rune stones.

“Dark fairy tale.”

Sssssssseu!

X completely hid himself in the darkness. If the guy in front of me was related to another being, I couldn’t let go of the tension.

X, who was moving stealthily, stopped.

‘The shadow… is one?’

Did you break through this huge underground passage all by yourself? It was natural for his extraordinary abilities to become even more suspicious.

However, what caught X’s sharp-edged eyes was a completely unexpected sight.

“Even if you’re hungry, there’s no time to rest. “The lives of my colleagues are in my hands!”

Pabababak!

Height reaches up to the knees at most. Although the thing in his hand is small, it is clearly a shovel, and the thing he is wearing is small, but it is clearly a piece of clothing.

And isn’t that wagging tail a tail? X, who was about to be shocked, covered his mouth.

‘Aren’t they all squirrels?!’

In front of me was a squirrel that spoke and acted like a human. I was dumbfounded. X held his breath and shook his head.

As a talking squirrel, I have never seen similar information in any community.

sparkle! X’s eyes sparkled.

‘A new race!’

There was nothing more exciting than this. Just by discovering a new build, the benefits that come with it are enormous!

The reward from discovering a new race was so great that it only hurts to talk about it.

While thinking, X looked closely at the squirrel.

“Cheer up. “I can do it!”

The sight of a squirrel speeding up shoveling was cute, but I couldn’t give up my doubts.

Anyway, he was the guy digging the tunnel under Xernis. I still couldn’t be sure that it wasn’t related to another being.

X approached him secretly.

“…!”

widely!

I quickly grabbed the squirrel’s wrist.

Sssss. When the dark assimilation was lifted, X’s appearance was revealed. X opened his mouth to the scared squirrel.

“What are you doing in someone else’s front yard?”

The reason I spoke naturally was simple. X tried to scoop up the squirrel.

The intention was to calmly talk and figure out whether or not the person was acting under instigation from another being.

“That black shadow?! No, it’s this human. “It’s scary!!”

But I had a feeling that conversation would be impossible.

When X appeared, the squirrel threw away the shovel. She struggled on her short feet and shed tears like peas.

“No, I didn’t grab it too hard?”

“Aaaahhh. “I’m dead.”

“what is this.”

Even though this squirrel kills a lot, it is usually not that much. I was so scared that I couldn’t even look at X.

I felt like I had become the worst person in the world in an instant! In this case, there were two ways.

‘The first is threats.’

Since he was such a timid guy, the threat seemed to be very effective. But X looked ahead.

Even if this cowardly squirrel was instigated by another being, it does not change the fact that it is a new species.

‘The second is appeasement.’

There is a possibility that the cowardly squirrel is moving under duress!

X clearly remembered what the squirrel had said. This guy said he has no time to rest because the lives of his colleagues are in his hands.

Even if it wasn’t necessarily something else, it seemed likely that this guy would need help.

Sighing, X raised the corner of his mouth. I let go of the struggling squirrel.

Hurry! The squirrel immediately put its head on the ground and trembled.

“I’m done. “I’m so scared I can’t even move.”

“Let me see.”

“…float?”

I thought he died without fail. But what I heard was a softer voice that was different from what I imagined.

The squirrel’s pupils fluttered as it opened its eyes through the gap between its hands.

Roaring. I could see X moving busily behind the burning wood fire.

“Are squirrels… vegetarian? “Do you eat meat too?”

*

A feast unfolding before your eyes!

“How long are you going to hold on like that? “I’m not that bad of a person?”

“The food may have been poisoned. “You can’t pass over.”

“You sound like poison.”

The squirrel guy was no ordinary coward either.

Although he was drooling, he did not touch the food until the end.

But time is ultimately on X’s side! As the scent of X’s special peanut sauce began to waft in, he had no choice but to give in.

“…I would rather eat and die than starve to death.”

“Well, I don’t think so.”

Wagu wagu!

“It’s delicious!” It’s clear that they want to make me full and then eat me. Otherwise, they are clearly trying to kill you by making your stomach explode.”

Contrary to the frightened lines, the squirrel’s small hands pick up food at random and go straight to its mouth!

He ate so quickly that his cheeks swelled up. The squirrel, who had been concentrating on eating for a while, suddenly muttered.

“…You gave me delicious food.”

Your chance has come! The face of a squirrel that looks like it has extreme internal conflict. In times like this, what was needed was persuasion.

X cautiously opened his mouth.

“After listening to the story, it seemed like there was a situation. Just like you, I also had a situation. So I had no choice but to stop you from digging the tunnel.”

“Is that something like that? “I thought you were going to kill me.”

“I caught it really gently, but the pain was so severe.”

Once the squirrel was full and a comfortable atmosphere was created, the squirrel relaxed its guard.

The conversation has finally begun! The squirrel opened his mouth heavily.

“My name is Malangdachi.”

It was a squirrel with a name that suited its soft and chubby body. X introduced himself as well.

When Malang heard X’s situation, he was startled and twitched his tail.

“Did you feel me moving? X What a great human being. “I thought the only thing that could recognize us Dongle people was the spirits of the land!”

“Well, I guess that’s worth it.”

Round people!

The Dongle tribe were rodent beasts that lived deep underground.

Based on the construction power that came from their tremendous shoveling ability, they were able to build large and small villages and travel freely through high-quality tunnels.

X swallowed a sigh.

‘I was able to feel it because my affinity for nature, especially the affinity for the earth attribute, was extremely high. Normally I wouldn’t have even noticed?’

Malang, who was in tears, continued speaking.

“The reason I was digging so hard is simple. I was digging a hole to escape with my people. Ugh, my body is shaking just thinking about it.”

“A hole to escape to? “Can you tell me in more detail?”

“I understand. “The attack started from a small village.”

X, who had been listening to Malang for a while, nodded. To summarize Malang’s words, it was simple.

Even though the Dongle people were very timid, there were too many of them. It was said that in preparation for an emergency, a hole was drilled to connect each village directly.

‘I never thought that the village would collapse in the meantime.’

Quickly evacuate to another village and quickly plug the hole. The theory was perfect, but the opponent was not very good.

Destructive power beyond imagination! Because of this, dozens of underground cities were said to have fallen in just one week.

“In the end, we had no choice but to gather in the central city of Degur. I had no choice but to dig a new hole. “I go to the north, my friends go to the west and east… I’m still worried about my compatriots.”

“I see.”

X thought back to Malang’s words.

As you yourself have experienced, finding the Dongle tribe is not easy. It must have a high affinity for the earth attribute and the ability to dig up to hundreds of meters.

X tilted his head.

‘Because Fate World is so wide and vast. Well, there could be someone like that. But why are you going around destroying villages? ‘Have you lost a grudge?’

The reason he went through all the trouble to attack the Dongle tribe living underground was because he had a special grudge or had a purpose. X, who was pondering, asked.

“Can you tell me what they look like?”

“I don’t know the details because I was running away in a hurry. But just looking at it made me feel bad. I was just procrastinating… Oh, that was the reason why I thought I was in big trouble when I first saw X.”

“huh?”

X tilted his head at Malang’s words.

“It was just like them in that it was dark. Of course, I was relieved because it was revealed right away… but I was still incredibly surprised.”

“Black as a shadow and procrastinating…?”

A memory flashes through X’s mind for a moment!

The image of a worshiper writhing like a tentacle. Likewise, the energy of another being emanated from the contaminated rune stone.

And even the dark, dark stigma of destruction. X asked the last question.

“Is there something like a shining rock in a place called Malang Degur?”

“uh? “How does X know about the rock in the center of our village?”

“I guess it was like that.”

The shining rock is a runestone!

The Dongle tribe had special abilities due to the influence of the rune stone.

What attacked the Dongle people was the power of another being controlled by the stigma of destruction. It was clear that the attack was aimed at the Dongle tribe’s rune stones.

He asked, twitching his soft cheeks.

“X, do you know anything?”

“of course. “I know it very well.”

“Is that really true?!”

The lovely tail fur stood up. Even Degur, the last bastion of the Dongle tribe, is in danger of extinction.

Since X appeared in this situation, Malang had no choice but to place his last, faint hope on X.

“…X, can you help our Dongle tribe?”

Tiroling!

A notification rang in X’s ears.

Munchkin that I eat all by myself
