CH 106

Jun-woo looked around to get the key.

Except for a few monsters approaching, all he could see was dirt.

Keys related to hidden dungeons were usually obtained by catching nearby monsters, or there was a high probability that they were hidden somewhere nearby.

He couldn’t turn all the sand nearby, so Jun-woo started catching monsters.

Thud!

Squish

The soldier made of sand could not even approach properly, and his body turned to the soil by the shells and sank.

Kakan’s merciless fist tore even the desert scorpion from its body.

The monsters here were too weak for Jun-woo to deal with.

“Kakan, go over there and look for it.”

“What?”

Kakan had an item window and could pick up items.

Jun-woo turned Kakan to another place, and the two defensive robots were controlled to bring the monsters.

In an area that did not deviate too much, Jun-woo lightly flew through the desert and fired mana guns.

Thud!

The sand soldiers leaped towards Jun-woo, lowered their swords, and speared.

As Jun-woo climbed a little higher, the sand soldiers were hitting the cannonball robots other than the sand archers to see if there was any way to attack.

Although it was enough to damage that did not have to be avoided, the durability of the armor had worn out, so Jun-woo flew around and hunted to avoid arrows.

Boom!

The explosion overturned the sand, and the wind created a pit in the desert.

A few hours passed like that.

The moon rose, and the heat of the scorching desert was quenched.

Jun-woo continued hunting until he was sleepy and returned to the original gate again.

After quite some time, the soil had piled up quite a lot in the place due to the wind.

Jun-woo took out a sleeping bag and laid it down on it.

It was not an area without monsters, but robots and Kakan would protect him.

As the day passed, and when he opened his eyes to the sun’s light, Jun-woo started hunting again.

A haze rose over the sand, and sweat was forming on his forehead.

“Whoa… ….”

Jun-woo, who took out water and drenched his throat, flew through the sky at high speed to cool off even sweat.

In the desert where you can’t see anything, Jun-woo wondered if he should call the people again.

There was no promise when the key would come out; if it was a place, it would be buried nearby.

It would be nice to have someone find the key, but if the key is bound and only the person who opened the door enters the place, the quest could fail.

Even to avoid the worst, Jun-woo did not give up and hunted and used wind pressure to lift the sand from time to time.

The defensive robot ran from afar and felt something unusual as time passed.

When he looked at it from the air, he saw sand rising hugely behind the robot, chasing it towards it.

Perhaps the boss of this place, a sandworm, and a giant earthworm seemed obvious.

Jun-woo flew there and fired mana cannons at the sand without hesitation.

Thud!

Energy bullets flew through the sand and went inside to hit the target.

The sand fluttered slightly and soared towards Jun-woo, floating in the sky.

A gigantic earthworm emerged through the sand with a round mouth surrounded by hundreds of pointed teeth.

It was about as long as a high-rise apartment building, and its mouth was so huge that if it tried to swallow it with an open mouth, it could quickly eat a 3m-sized giant.

Jun-woo dropped two self-destructive robots with his huge mouth.

Two boxes went into his mouth, and when the sandworm’s mouth reached up to Jun-woo, an explosion occurred.

Boom!

Sandworm’s head, lost for a moment, shook violently and bowed his head forward.

Thud!

The sandworm burrowed through the sand, went inside for a long time, and then soared upright again.

Thud!

Jun-woo, who fired an attack on the head and fired a guided missile, quickly climbed up.

The sandworm’s mouth, which came through the explosion, closed wide, and 12 red eyes attached to each other looked at Jun-woo.

[Movement speed is not reduced by the effect.]

The sandworm, who failed to use the skill, threw its face into the sand again.

Junwoo’s energy bullets and the cannonball robot’s shells hit the body of the sucked sandworm.

The defensive robot also rushed to help, kicked it, and hit it with its fists.

The sandworm withstood the attacks, went into the sand, and again soared towards Jun-woo.

This time, it was a sandworm that seemed to be severe and was approaching with the sand around it.

The surrounding sand flew towards Junwoo faster than the sandworm.

Jun-woo quickly ascended to the sky.

The sandworm jumped up with all its power until its tail was exposed on the sand, but it could not reach Jun-woo, and instead, two self-destructive robots entered its mouth.

Boom!

The sandworm’s body fell backward, twisted its back, and plunged its head back into the sand.

After that, the sandworm did not bounce toward Junwoo.

Instead, he just turned the sand into a spear and shot it at Jun-woo.

The defense robot was swallowed by the sandworm’s mouth, and the defense robot soaked in saliva spat out and flew towards Jun-woo.

Jun-woo went a little further, avoiding the sand spear and defense robot.

And perhaps within range, the hidden sandworm soared and tried to swallow Jun-woo again.

Jun-woo was happily swallowed.

Thud!

As Jun-woo’s body went into the sandworm’s mouth, the light that had entered his mouth completely disappeared as he closed his mouth.

The saliva that flashed green fluorescence came up quickly in the dark place.

Jun-woo protected his body with the protection of the earth and poured all his firepower downward.

Squash squish!

Thud!

The inside of the sandworm’s body shook violently.

As sticky saliva spurted from below and pushed Jun-woo’s body out, Jun-woo increased the engine’s output and tried to endure it.

Intense blue light erupted from the back of Jun-woo’s body.

The saliva and Jun-woo’s body collided.

[Reduces 120 mana per second.]

[220 mana per second is reduced.]

[300 mana per second is reduced.]

Only the saliva was pushed out through the open mouth, and Jun-woo went a little deeper and fired a shell.

Boom!

When the self-destruct robot was detonated, the sandworm’s body wobbled violently.

The acidic saliva that melted the body was doing damage per second, but it was still below Junwoo’s recovery power.

Once again, the thick saliva tries to push Jun-woo down, but Jun-woo endures it by raising the output.

Thud!

Boom!

Only saliva was spat out, and as the self-destruct robot exploded from below, the lower body was torn off, and the desert sand was visible down.

Knock knock

A sandworm with a severed body fell to the floor.

Jun-woo pushed his wrinkled skin and went outside.

The sun was shining, and in front of him were three men.

On their shoulders were the Sega Guild marks of Korea.

They were party hunting in the desert.

“Wow… ….”

They looked at Jun-woo with surprised eyes.

Above Jun-woo’s head was the phrase 100%.

“It’s Junwoo Lee… ….”

“Did you catch it alone?”

“Geez… ….”

When Jun-woo and their eyes met, they were slightly taken aback.

“What?”

“Let’s go say hello… ….”

“The hunting is over here, and the shrimps back explodes after staying here for no reason.”

The three hurriedly approached Jun-woo.

The three, who looked to be in their 30s, approached us with awkward faces.

“Ha-ha…, greetings, master. That’s great. Catch a sandworm by yourself… ….”

“Hello, I must have been hunting here.”

“Yes, yes… I’ve seen sandworms take off… …. It’s the first time I’ve seen the tail stick out, so it’s amazing, ha-ha… ….”

The other said, looking at the item that had fallen in front of the sandworm’s corpse.

“Congratulations, there are quite a few items.”

There were ten items of armor, gloves, jewels, powder, etc.

“Thank you.”

Jun-woo walked over there and picked up the items one by one.

There were more than 10 items, one of which was a strange iron plate.

[Lab Key] [Belonging]

-Class: Unique

-Description: An iron plate with an unknown pattern.

-Restriction: The item will expire after 1 hour 59 minutes 59 seconds.

– Item value: 6,000,000,000

It was the key to be used for the quest.

One member of the Sega guild said with an awkward smile.

“Then, hunt carefully. We only… ….”

“Yes, please be careful.”

Jun-woo watched them leave for a while.

He doesn’t think they should approach the place anyway.

Jun-woo looked at whether they were going and flew towards the circular door as if they had gone completely.

As soon as he landed, Jun-woo put the key he had brought with him.

The light flowed in all directions, starting from where the key was inserted.

As the light enveloped the circular door, the two interlocking doors were pushed sideways, and a small amount of soil was sucked in from the bottom.

[10 bonus stats have been created as a quest reward.]

Jun-woo floated in the air and looked down.

A deep place at that moment, something pulled Jun-woo, and as soon as Jun-woo’s body slid down and entered, the door quickly closed.

Bang!

The attraction disappeared, and Jun-woo’s battle suit emitted blue mana in the dark.

Jun-woo took out a magic lamp and lit the inside.

It felt like he was in a massive cylinder.

A massive cylinder with iron plates attached to it, Jun-woo looked down.

When his feet touched the floor, an item was placed on the table in front of him.

It was a book, and Jun-woo held it and looked at it.

[Advanced Book of Sorcery Engineering] [Belonging]

-Rank: Legendary+

-Description: In the past, some people developed a nation by combining mana and science. The knowledge they discovered and developed is contained in this book, which will significantly help you.

-Effect: When used, you can acquire the related knowledge of magic engineering.

– Item value: 40,000,000,000,000

Legend+ grade items, basic, intermediate, and advanced books.

As he was about to use the book, he heard a voice next to him.

“Who wants to touch the book?”

Jun-woo looked at him in amazement at the presence that had approached without a measurement of popularity.

He was a middle-aged man with blonde hair.

“… good day?”

He thought it might be similar to the boy he met in the cave.

“That book records our bloody research.”

“I’m sorry. … .”

“What are you talking about.”

As the man held out his hand, the book in Jun-woo’s item window was sucked into his hand.

Swoosh

“Nobody can give it to you.”

Again, it was something special.

The man opened his eyes and asked Jun-woo.

“Are you wearing something unusual? What the hell is that?”

“It’s a battle suit… I made it.”

“You made something strange. Are you a newcomer this time?”

“Yeah?”

“Didn’t you meet Sandworm when you came?”

“I killed him.”

“Yes? I’m glad. Next time you see me, kill me again. Once upon a time, a researcher was devoured by a powerful sandworm, and that researcher had many keys and many materials, which caused him to be twisted in various ways.”

“Ah yes… ….”

“Anyway, follow me.”

“Yeah? Yeah.”

Jun-woo followed him and walked.

The iron door opened, and a man entered through the passageway.

When Jun-woo entered, there was a desk and a whiteboard in front of him.

“Close the door and sit down.”

“Yeah.”

He said he was a newbie, so it seemed like he was trying to educate him.

Jun-woo quietly went to his seat, sat down, and looked at the man in front of him.

Turns out, people called these places a gap in time.

A place where time does not pass.

You can receive job-related teachings if you come to this place through a quest every 10 levels.

The swordsman learned swordsmanship, and the wizard learned how to wield magic.

It was similar to job-related knowledge but a special place where you could get something more from an extraordinary existence according to your achievements.

Jun-woo stared intently at the man in front of him with lively eyes.

The man opened his mouth.

“Now, let’s start with the basics.”
