Chapter 309: S Level

Hundreds of arms all transformed into ‘feet’.

Dragging along a giant head that is about 2/3 the width of the street, it was madly chasing after Han Dong and the others.

Because of the desire for its prey, every arm exerts its full strength when scraping the ground, all the fingernails have been broken off in the process, and even many finger joints showed signs of fractures and breaking.

But its speed only increased.

Looking at such a large head, it was simply unfathomable, how it could be hidden in this narrow alleyway.

Just one look made Han Dong’s back soaked with cold sweat.

Its level of danger was definitely not inferior to the General Mansion, the highest difficulty level in the outer area…

Without knowing the special traits and weaknesses of the monster, if they were chased down, they would truly be in mortal danger.

“Abe, well done.”

As Abe ran swiftly on all fours, swinging widely and sometimes making extremely quick changes in direction… to avoid falling off, Han Dong had to cling tightly around Abe’s waist with his G Arm.

With Abe’s help.

Han Dong could focus all his attention on searching for the exact location of the ‘store’.

However, the crawling speed of the giant head surpassed all expectations and the distance was closing with every second.

If they couldn’t confirm the shop’s location in time, they might be caught up.

When there was less than two hundred meters left to the ‘store’ marked on the map, Han Dong had begun to meticulously search for the shopfront on the ground floor.

He found nothing.

He continued to scan the whole building corresponding to the coordinates.

Still, he found nothing.

“Have you found it?” Abe anxiously asked from below.

“No… there is nothing in the shops on the ground floor or the entire building.”

Abe’s eyes glinted menacingly, “This thing is fast, if we keep running like this we will eventually be caught… and it will attract more monsters… why don’t we find a dark corner and fight this giant head?”

“We can’t fight, even if we could win, the price would be terrible… Then, the huge commotion from the fight would inevitably attract many monsters, it would still be a dead end!”

“Neither running nor fighting will work…” Abe gritted his teeth.

“We’ll survive if we find the ‘store’. Give me ten more seconds.”

“Okay.”

Han Dong closed his eyes.

He tried his best to block out all the static noise.

In his mind, there was only information about the ‘store’.

“The store itself is also a monster…in the inner area of the park, monsters attack each other.

Mr. Aha is a shopkeeper who hates trouble, in order to avoid unnecessary troubles, he would definitely set up the shop in a ‘deeply hidden’ place.

It’s not something that could be found so easily.

Overlapping Space?

Or some other method?

If I were the shop owner, how would I hide the ‘store’?

Opening his eyes, when he checked the region marked in the map again, Han Dong did not only look at the building… He carefully observed the streetlights, trash cans, gloomy alleyways and even rubbish bags casually thrown on the roadside.

He didn’t let any detail slip.

“Something is wrong, is there any detail I haven’t noticed…”

Han Dong’s eyes spun fast.

His sight quickly fell on a drain at the edge of the street…

A 40cm×20cm drain, at first glance, seemed to blend in with the dark street… When Han Dong focused all of his attention on it, he found that he couldn’t see through the pitch black darkness of the drain.

What was even stranger.

When Han Dong used the full vision of Little Demon Eye, he saw that even the airflow would flow around the drain but would not flow into it.

The drain’s peculiarity,

Han Dong’s intuition,

Plus, it just happened to match the coordinates of the ‘store’ after enlarging the map.

Han Dong decisively stretched out his hand and pointed towards the drain, signaling Abe to follow him.

“Here? It’s so small… How do we get in?”

“There must be a special way to enter… If this is the entrance to the shop, as long as we get close, Mr. Aha won’t make it difficult for us.”

If this was at the start of the event, Han Dong definitely wouldn’t have had such confidence.

But Han Dong’s relationship with Mr. Aha had improved… As long as he found the right place, Mr. Aha would definitely let them enter the shop voluntarily.

“If it isn’t the entrance, we switch to fighting immediately… there’s no other way.” Abe was already prepared to use his trump card.

“Okay!”

Seeing the giant head on the street quickly closing in,

When Abe reached the drain and plunged his wolf claw deep into it… he had a feeling of penetrating some kind of membrane.

Hum!

After the buzzing sound and a brief moment of consciousness stagnation,

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a relatively tidy grocery store.

At the same time, Mia and Winry also appeared here.

Basking in the warm light that filled the store.

The danger was passed.

At the moment, pressed against Abe’s back, Han Dong could feel the comfortable sensation of the soft, white fur… and those two erect white animal ears were tempting to be rubbed.

In the corner.

Mr. Aha was slumped in a rocking chair, swinging back and forth, seemingly just awoken from his nap.

Stretching languidly, he kept making strange yawns, ‘aha aha’.

Mr. Aha spoke discontentedly, “You guys were a bit slower than I anticipated, that won’t do… The task I need your help with next is quite challenging.”

“Mr. Aha’s demands are quite high.”

Han Dong gave a wry smile.

Except for some delay at the public toilet and park gates… they had hardly stopped for the rest of their journey, and they had run for the last part.

“If your abilities aren’t up to par, I wouldn’t dare to casually entrust you with important tasks… It’s too risky.”

Han Dong didn’t continue to ask Mr. Aha what he needed help with.

But suddenly changed the subject and asked:

“There are two things I would like to ask sir,

Approximately three kilometers away from here in an abandoned park, there’s a public toilet from which laughter keeps coming out from… that should correspond to a very dangerous monster, right?

And the head in the alley that moves by crawling on hundreds of arms, what is that thing?”

Hearing Han Dong’s description, Mr. Aha looked surprised: “Huh!? You encountered an S-Level entity on the way? That’s not bad… No wonder you were delayed.”

“S-Level!?”

“Yes… S-Level entities only exist in the inner area of the park and are very few.

The A+ level Demon Sword incident that you handled in the outer ‘commercial district’, you did not really experience its true difficulty… and S-Level is even more difficult.”

“Demon Sword?”

Han Dong naturally remembered.

In the hot spring inn, he had only actually dealt with one problem.

That was the issue covered by a white mist in General Mansion… Actually, there were three areas in the hot spring inn covered by white mist, one of them was the entrance to General Mansion in the employee dormitory.

The second was the inn’s lobby where the landlady was.

The third was at the center of the hot spring.

Thinking back to the scene where the landlady waved goodbye to him after he solved the General Mansion issue, Han Dong felt a chill…

“Could Mr. Aha briefly explain the S-level events we just encountered?”

“Aha… Pay up!”
