That Face Is the Problem - Chapter 70.1
Everyone looked at Jae-gyeong and Da-sol in surprise. It was a fact known to all the team members that the relationship between the two had not been good for nearly a week.
Even though Jae-gyeong summoned up his courage to call out to Da-sol, Da-sol didn’t even look at Jae-gyeong as he continuously checked his combat gear and items.
Because he hadn’t expected Da-sol not to even look at him, Jae-gyeong’s courage quickly shriveled away. As he glumly shut his mouth and dropped his gaze, Hee-ro clapped his hands.
“Alright, alright! You all know we have to enter the dungeon now, right? There are reporters out front too. Let’s focus strictly on the dungeon raid! Okay?”
At the end, Hee-ro winked at Jae-gyeong. Jae-gyeong nodded with a faint smile. He could tell that Hee-ro was helping him so he wouldn’t feel embarrassed.
And Hee-ro’s words were correct. Right now, they were facing an S-rank dungeon raid, and an unannounced one at that. Reporters and fans were waiting in swarms in front of the gate, and stepping out just a few paces meant the appearance of Training Guild Team 1 would be broadcast live nationwide.
Although the discord with Da-sol weighed heavily on his mind, Da-sol was still the type to thoroughly separate public and private matters. Jae-gyeong was the type that wasn’t very good at doing that, but they still had the teamwork they had built up in the meantime, and the results of countless training sessions were fully embodied in him. He just needed to focus properly. Jae-gyeong took a deep breath.

- Explosion
The moment they entered this dungeon, they could tell its concept right away. It was a jungle dungeon.
The same went for all other dungeons, but jungle dungeons belonged to an extremely dangerous category. Not only the animal-type monsters living in the jungle, but even the plants and the ground itself had a high probability of being monsters, so they had to keep guard in all directions.
Team 1 naturally aligned themselves into formation. The holy knight Jae-gyeong, spreading his massive white wings, stood at the very front, followed by the assassin Hee-ro and the mage Ye-jin. The archer Ri-na stood behind them, and the power-word specialist Jeong-eon, the healer Da-sol, and the guardian hunter Yi-hyeon stood side by side in the very back row.
“Mr. Jae-gyeong, could you shoot just one round from your arm-cannon toward the far distance for now? We need to see what pops out.”
Hee-ro gave the order, and Jae-gyeong did exactly as he was told. Bang! The bullet fired toward the far distance exploded, and simultaneously, monsters shrieked and popped out from above the trees.
Murder Monkey (B)
A monster with the word ‘Murder’ attached to its name. It was B-rank, but it was certainly a nerve-wracking name.
“I will take charge of the right side…!”
Jae-gyeong shouted as he fired his arm-cannon toward the pack of Murder Monkeys rushing from the right. At the same time, Ye-jin cast an area-of-effect attack magic toward the monkey pack rushing from the left.
[Kieeeeeeek!!!]
The monkeys shrieked as they died. Perhaps it wasn’t a mere scream of terror, as an even larger pack of Murder Monkeys rushed in frantically from the far distance. Their fangs were incredibly developed, their eyes were blood-red, and their fur was hard like black thorns; seeing such a pack move all at once instilled a sense of terror.
“I will bind them all at once.”
Hee-ro spoke from right behind, and then trapped the entire monkey pack inside an incredibly massive water bubble. Inside it, the monkey pack could be seen gurgling and struggling before drowning all at once.
“Mr. Jae-gyeong.”
Hee-ro, who did not prefer methods of killing that felt like long tortures even if they were monsters, called Jae-gyeong. Jae-gyeong also immediately fired his arm-cannon toward that massive net of water. Soon, the world turned dark red before clearing up completely. Hee-ro had retrieved the water bubble itself, which contained their dismantled flesh, bones, and blood all clumped together.
The jungle became a bigger mess than before, and also a bit quieter. Just then, a bird cry resembling a crow’s sound could be heard from a distance.
“Whoa, is that a pterodactyl? Crazy!! Ah, the dungeon filming crew should have come too! What a waste!”
Ri-na stamped her feet as she looked up at the sky. Ordinary electronic devices did not function inside a dungeon, so a special camera was required, which could only be used when accompanied by producers belonging to the Hunter Management Bureau.
Murder Pterodactyl (A)
“No, but why does everything fearfully have ‘Murder’ attached to the front of its name? Does that mean this dungeon itself is something like a Murder Jungle Dungeon…?”
Ye-jin spoke while trembling as if she felt chilly. Regardless of whether a teammate was scared at the front or not, Ri-na, who was seeing a dinosaur in real life, excitedly summoned her bow and arrows. Thanks to a new item, Ri-na, who had become able to shoot up to ten arrows at once, unleashed a rain of arrows toward the sky with an excited expression.
[Kweeeeeeeek!!!]
The ten arrows hit ten Murder Pterodactyls all at once. However, because the size of each individual pterodactyl was so massive, they did not immediately drop dead just because they were hit.
They could, however, cause confusion among them, and Jae-gyeong took advantage of that gap to fire his arm-cannon, blowing four of them up in mid-air.
“Wow… truly a cheat skill.”
“I will head upwards.”
“Yes, please do, Mr. Jae-gyeong. Ms. Ri-na, shall we shoot arrows a few more times? Ms. Ye-jin, I ask for the Murder Boars coming from over there. I will back everyone up generally~”
