Hidden Place on the 19th floor (3)

There are thousands of caves in the 19th-floor ruins.

A maze where you don't know where it will lead.

Because of that, if I got lost, I would have to wander around here forever and die.

sabak.

Jinhyuk hastened his steps.

'Hasting... .'

As long as the Yuasis clan outside the ruins were killed, there was no room for hesitation.

The rest of the party knew that too, so they speeded up even more.

However.

"Wait!"

Jinhyuk, who had been running frantically, stopped in the spot.

"What's going on?"

Yuasis pricked her ears.

"There are monsters in front of you. A colony the number is more than about a hundred."

"I can't feel the presence of mana, but are there monsters?"

Theresa focused her attention and looked around.

However, nothing caught on.

"Since it's half-hibernated, you won't be caught by mana detection. However, if you get closer than a certain distance, everyone will wake up and attack you."

I know of guys with these kinds of traits.

Black Scorpion.

With a body over 5m, even the speed is fast.

The poisonous poison on the tail was so bad that it was difficult to recover even with 'Blessing of the Stars'.

It means that it is a different dimension from the Sandworms we have dealt with a while ago, and it is difficult.

That number is a whopping one hundred.

Even if they broke through, it was clear that time would take.

"Then what are we going to do?"

"I'm going to make a detour..."

Jinhyuk glanced at the side of the aisle.

"Isn't it supposed to be like digging a path with a pickaxe? That's going to take a year."

"Don't worry. It's not like that."

Jinhyuk slowly approached the wall.

ssuk.

He scanned the side with his palm.

I could feel the cold soil.

"Now is the time...!"

"Shhh. Wait a minute."

Jinhyuk concentrated his mind.

How long has it been?

Jinhyuk's steps, who had turned back, stopped once again.

"I found it. It's right here."

At first glance, it is an ordinary wall that no one would notice and pass through.

But that's just an optical illusion created by cleverly interlocking shadows.

If you look closely, there was a space between them that one person could pass through.

"I'll go in first, so follow me right away. The rest of you too."

As Jinhyuk slowly disappeared through the gap, exclamations burst out of the mouths of everyone who was watching.

"Ah ."

"A place like this..."

"I've been here several times, but I never knew."

Even Yuasis opened her eyes and looked at the place where Jinhyuk entered.

Much more humid inside than before.

The stinky smell of old stuff stung your nostrils.

'I wanted to avoid this place if possible... .'

I knew about this passage, but I didn't get it out of my mouth.

It was because this was the most dangerous and difficult passage among the passages leading to the dunes of the sun.

still.

There is only one way to pass within the limited time.

And there were things I had to do more than I had decided to come here.

[The unique ability 'Primal Flame' is activated!]

Red flames erupted along the tip of the fangs.

The dark vision brightened, and the surroundings began to appear.

Whoops!

A huge space covered with white sand.

A strange sense of discomfort stimulates nerves throughout the body.

"From here on, everything is full of traps. I can explain where and what things come from, but that would take a lot of time."

"In the end, you have to follow where you go."

"That's right. Everyone has excellent physical abilities, so you just have to follow where I'm going."

"Damn. Why is it that when I'm with you, I feel like I'm just going through a hard time."

Cheon Yuseong grunted and took out the armor he had put in his coat.

Tuk!

Whoops!

Theresa also took off the armor she was wearing.

In order to move quickly, it was to make the body as light as possible.

Three people in slightly different outfits took a pose.

'It's been a while since I've been here, so I'm a little nervous.'

Even if he turns the wrong way and wakes the sleeping one, it will be a situation in which he might be better off dealing with a hundred Black Scorpions.

If I had known that things would be like this... .

I thought I'd personally purchase some items through Rick.

Rick, the top owner, would have also had an Artifact with lightening magic and anti-presence magic applied.

'The only choice is to be as careful as possible.'

Jinhyuk concentrated mana on both legs.

huuuuuoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

When 'The Realm of the Wind' and 'Sword Demon Cheonryeongbo' unfold at the same time... .

Pot!

A gust of wind blew across the sand.

quickly.

And lightly.

Jinhyeok ran on the sand, pondering the memories of the past.

The rest of the people followed exactly the path Jinhyuk followed.

However.

Whoops!

Something unusual sounded.

The hooves of Euasis, who were running at the end, fell too deeply into the sand.

kwaduk!

The sound of sand grains being crushed resounded.

And at that very moment.

kukuku kuk kook!

The ground shook violently.

The white grains split left and right, and the whole cave began to scream as if it was going away.

"U...Asis-san?"

"Sorry, I'm sorry. I'm too heavy. I should have gone on a diet..."

A deer is a deer, even if it is a slender deer.

Due to the trait of his body weighing over 100 kg, it was almost impossible to leave no traces on the sand.

[The owner of the passage wakes up!]

[['Fear' due to the extreme level difference]

The effect is activated!]

[The level of all players and residents will decrease by 10 steps!]

A red status window that appears one after another.

What appeared in the sand was a monster that had nothing to say other than that it was huge.

In the middle of the cave, an insect over 15m tall appeared like a tall building.

Named Guardian 'Ant Ghost'.

It is a trap-type monster that hides in the sand dunes and preys on its prey.

"It's dangerous. The survival rate is less than 2%."

Frey pulled out a javelin and lifted it.

"...sheesh."

"In the end, did it become impossible to avoid a fight?"

Cheon Yoo-sung and Teresa also pulled out their weapons with hardened faces.

The ant ghost looked down.

It's like trying to decide who should be eaten first.

And the moment the decision was made, his bright yellow eyes were fixed on Cheonyuseong.

"Kieek!"

Dozens of teeth opened up, and purple fluid spewed out of the ant ghost's mouth.

An acidic liquid that can turn prey into juice at once.

The body fluid that had been scattered extensively went straight to the place where Cheonyuseong was.

fast.

Chi profit!

The body fluids melted the sand in an instant.

of course.

It was after Cheon Yu-seong narrowly escaped from the place.

"Sheesh! You've entered the tiger's den to avoid wild dogs."

huuuuuoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

A sword strengthened through 'Song of the Sword'.

The blue river spurted out brilliantly.

Cheon Yu-seong, who quickly climbed onto the ant ghost's body, swung his sword in a big way.

The sword dance of Chuhon Sword was unfolded over the outer skin of the ant ghost.

Kak kak kak kak!

The blade ripped through the outer skin and dug into its inner flesh.

No matter how high-level monsters are, they can't stand the sword with their bare body.

the problem is .

"Ugh?"

Because it is so large, it is impossible to call it a fatal wound with such an injury.

"Kie-ee!"

The ant ghost roared long.

It's surprisingly fast for its size.

kukukuku!

The sands were split like the Red Sea.

A meat attack using the entire body has the momentum to crush anything that stands in the way.

"Harm!"

However, it was not easy to dodge, and the range of the charge was unreasonably wide.

KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa!

Traces that appear whenever an ant ghost passes by.

Cheon Yu-seong kicked off the sand and leaped to the side.

"ね!"

posture is broken

that gap... .

The predator did not miss.

"Keiye!"

With another sharp roar. The body of the ant ghost split the sand.

Even if you spread your Soul Sword to its extreme, you can't resist that attack.

It was too late to avoid.

right then

"...I will stop you."

Without saying anything, Frey stepped forward.

Aww!

The forehead of the ant ghost that was rushing at great speed... .

Clogged for the first time by the arm of a fragile girl.

The pin that was tying her blue hair was shattered without being able to withstand the shock.

Guguguguk... .

The balance of the two forces was kept tight, and a bizarre resonance sounded.

The saying that it was the strongest fighting weapon made of Philosopher's stone came to life again.

But.

The stalemate didn't last very long.

The ant ghost, annoyed by the prey's continued resistance, liberated mana in earnest.

[Ant ghost activates the unique ability 'Ant Hell'!]

Prey to be eaten... This is the moment when you have been upgraded to an annoying 'enemy'.

it's throbbing

Legs fell to the ground.

ant hell.

It is a large-scale wide-area skill that absorbs everything on the sand.

If you're in the sand, all your actions will be limited.

It would literally be like a mouse in a poison.

"Ooh, I can't move."

"The survival rate is less than 0.01%."

"Damn, do something. A funeral in the desert is a no-brainer!"

chururuk.

Saliva flowed from the ant ghost's mouth.

at the same time. The huge body slowly disappeared into the sand.

'great.'

I watched Jinhyuk sink to his waist.

In fact, I never thought that the dryad Yuasis could get out of the way.

Nevertheless, I deliberately forced this route... .

It was because he knew how to escape even if he woke him up.

On the contrary, the possibility of 'ant hell' was activated even higher.

'It can shorten the time and also erase a debt to Yuasis.'

It looks like it's hard to bear the situation that everyone is in trouble because of his own fault.

Tears were about to fall from those big eyes.

In addition to that, I was able to check Frey's instantaneous strength, so he literally ate a pheasant and ate an egg.

"Everyone, calm down. It's not over yet."

Jinhyuk calmly opened his mouth.

"Is there any way?"

"Yeah. There's something I can do. It's just..."

The tip of his tongue trembled slightly.

Then, as if holding a hot kettle, Cheon Yuseong shook his head.

"I don't. Never."

"Have I not said anything yet?"

"At least, you're going to do something while I'm moving as a bait, or are you asking me to make a sacrifice for you? I already know that your main specialty is to skillfully roast and boil people with words and drive them into limbs."

It is said that in 3 years of Seodanggae, a good month is sung.

This guy seems to know what his future is like now.

"I'll do it. Although there is a 0% chance of survival."

Frey nodded slightly.

It's like you don't even know what it's like to die. There was no emotion on his expressionless face.

There's probably nothing you can do on your own other than just follow what you're told.

But that's it.

"no."

Jinhyuk took out a sickle made of ghost wood.

"I am the bait."

Aside from escaping, there is one more thing to do.

even to test it.

It would have been better if there were as few eyes as possible.
