Finding the Sacred Tree

Travel to the Land of Peri part 4

My body was fine, but there was one thing that made me a little upset, which was that my clothes had become damaged and I had no change at all. It's where I'm still in Crocland's mouth, so 'cause it's kind of dark in here. I also immediately came out of his mouth through his esophagus. After walking for a few seconds. I finally got out.

It looks like the conditions outside are very chaotic, all the blood and innards from the crocland are scattered everywhere. To be honest, I was disgusted, but I wanted to do it again. I also passed through pools of blood and innards scattered on the ground with my tiptoes.

My body is also full of blood and mucus. I intend to find a small river first to clean my body and then I want to find a way so I can get more clothes.

First I took my bag that I threw away earlier and then walked to look for the river. Luckily after walking a few meters I finally found a small river.

Whether this can be said to be a river or not, because all I find here is a very small flow of water. It may be just 30 cm wide. Although very small, the important thing is that the water is clean and can clean my body from dirt.

After a few minutes I washed my body. My dirty body was back clean. There I immediately threw away my clothes because it was very damaged and the sword could be used again. Instead, I put on my robe for a while.

At first I wanted to go back to where the crocland corpse was located because I wanted to take the scales for sale later. Crocland scales were arguably quite expensive, because the Crocland was categorized as a very dangerous monster. So if it is sold it may be able to sell 2 gold coins or more.

When I got back to the crocland corpse. In that place it turned out that not only was there me, but there was someone else who was taking Crocland meat.

Actually it was a bit strange, because from what I heard, that Crocland meat was very unpleasant at all. So bad, professional chefs do not want to cook the meat because even though it has been cooked in any way, Crocland meat still has an unpleasant taste.

I have never tasted it, but said those who have tasted it, the crocland meat is hard and it tastes very bitter.

When I want to get close to him and say hello to him. The man suddenly threw me a knife. Fortunately the knife missed, but I got a slight scratch on my cheek.

"Don't come any closer, it's mine!"

Actually I was a little upset because he said that it was his, but I killed him. So, it automatically was mine.

"Eh...What do you mean by yours? The one who killed Crocland was me."

"Liar! How could a weak person like you kill this ferocious monster."

I'm getting pissed. It felt like I wanted to kill this guy, but unfortunately my sword instead turned into a useless bracelet.

"Where do you know that it wasn't me who killed him, who killed this monster?"

"No, but I found it first. So this is mine automatically."

[Nih people if not in the lesson, like he will not retreat this]

"Did you never think, how could Crocland suddenly die here? That's weird, Crocland's strong, so there's no way he's just gonna die."

"Hmm.you're right too, but I don't care! This is mine, mine anyway. If you want to take it, then face me first!" The man pulled out his sword.

[Hadeh.padala I just want to take a few scales, but why do I have to face this guy.]

"What's wrong? Are you scared, huh? It should be. So before I get mad, you better get out of here."

"Hey calm down, I'll go, but I have to take some monster scales first huh."

"Can't this be mine, if you want to take it, fight me first."

[The real people. Kesel also sees him like that. It seems that he must be taught a lesson first, but I'd better be careful because he might be strong.] I took out a small knife to skin the animals. I was forced to use it because I had no weapon, other than that little knife.

"Heh...apparently you want to fight me huh, but why did you use a small knife? Don't you underestimate me. Oh.I'm not teaching you yes. You don't know who I am yet. I am the greatest adventurer this world knows. If you don't believe me, look at this." The man showed me a fang.

"You don't know this. It is true that you are weak. I'm telling you, these are dragon teeth. I have killed a powerful dragon and then taken his teeth as proof that I am stronger than him."

[Since when did dragons have such small teeth?]

From what I know, the smallest dragon has teeth as big as a human arm, while the one he currently holds is only 2 fingers.

"Oh.that's yes. Okay, if you're talking, let's move forward."

"Eh? You're not scared? It's a dragon tooth."

"Yes, what do I have to do. run away so badly. I don't want to because I have to take some scales for me to sell later."

[It's bad, but usually if I do this, everyone will run away. Maybe it was he who killed this monster. Then I'm in danger.] That person's conscience looks panicked

"You don't want to go forward. Then I'll go ahead."

"Eh. wait, wait. I changed my mind, How about we share material from this monster. You said you wanted to take the scales, didn't you, I'll just take the meat."

"Hmm.don't want. I'm already pissed off with you." I started to step forward.

[So bad, this guy is going to kill me. I don't want to die now. I was just adventuring and didn't want to die here. I have no other choice, I have to use the last way.] The person started to break out in cold sweat with an anxious face.

"Wait a minute. I'm sorry. I'll do whatever you want." That person immediately kowtowed and threw away his weapon.

"Hmm..Why are you prostrating? Come on dong fight with me! Said you were a great adventurer who killed a dragon."

"Umm.I lied about it. Actually the teeth I hold right now are just fangs from Makupa and that I took from the carcass."

I had expected that from the beginning, so I dared to go forward earlier.

"Hmm.that's yes. Okay time to end." I raised my knife.

"Eh.. wait, wait, sir! I'll do anything, sir. I'll be your slave." The person was frightened and immediately retreated slowly.

"I don't need slaves anyway, but.your wages are good as well." I saw his clothes involved pretty good. When viewed from its quality may be standard and should be a fairly comfortable shirt to wear.

"Heh clothes?"

"Yes clothes. Give me that shirt, I'll let you get out of here."

"really?" The man was a little less trusting.

"It's real, but after you give me that shirt."

"But this shirt..." He looked at his clothes as if he had given them to me.

"Oh, don't want to." I lifted my knife again.

"Eh.iya, yes. Let me take off my shirt." The man immediately took off his shirt and luckily he was a man. So, I didn't feel too guilty when I took her clothes. He just took off his shirt and pants, while his underwear I told him to wear. Because I still have pity.
