What happened next was a bit of a strange phenomenon.
As the footsteps from the other side of the cavern grew louder and closer, the Hunters were making less and less sound.
"Sohn hyung...."
"...."
Soon, choking silence enveloped the group.
Jin-Woo's ears were perked up, though – seizing upon the opening created by his surroundings getting quieter, Jin-Woo began counting the numbers of the enemies via their footsteps.
Step, step.
Thud, thud.
Thanks to his already-enhanced hearing, as well as high Perception Stat, he could separate out each of the footsteps to their original owners.
'….48, 49, 50, 51.'
There were a total of 51 different footsteps. The steps themselves sounded the same as those of the High Orc warriors.
Jin-Woo took a look around him.
'…....'
The nervous tension was clearly writ large on the faces of the Hunters. It seemed to him that they also had more or less figured out the size of the enemy from the resounding footsteps.
