"What's that?"
"Stone Ants. It's a stone ant. It looks like it's dead."
"I didn't see any of them from above, so I asked them where they were all going. Are you all here?"
In front of me and Daeho Kang, there was a small hill made of stone ant carcasses.
Stone ants are ant-shaped monsters about the size of a medium-sized dog.
They mainly feed on glowing moss, and have jaws strong enough to crush stones.
Originally, they were supposed to be in the ant nest of Mount Gwanak, but they died here.
Kang Dae-ho carefully examines the carcass of the stone ants.
"Is it just the shell that remains?"
"The catcher ants just suck inside. You must be throwing garbage here."
At least it seems to be on the right path.
Unlike the Gwanaksan Ant Cave that covered the entire land, this was the first time.
The road was split several times, but fortunately it seemed to be straight.
"disgusting. Let's get through."
"That's not gonna happen. Prepare for battle."
"Huh?"
Kang Dae-ho raised the guard while expressing his doubts.
It was very funny, but he seemed to believe what I said.
At the same time, there was something crawling on the floor at high speed.
Waw!
I stabbed the person who was chasing Kang Dae-ho and pressed him.
The monster that had pierced through his body struggled.
Kang Dae-ho frowned and looked down.
"This ... .. chaff?"
"Ghost ants, ghost ants."
The carcasses of the stone ants left behind after being sucked by the ant hunters become undead as they are.
These people are called ghost ants.
Perhaps he doesn't know that the shell will move, and Kang Dae-ho doesn't even respond.
"Are you a zombie?"
"It's similar. Dead body."
"Then all this?"
I didn't answer.
I don't have to answer.
Because the pile of corpses of stone ants started to rise with a strange sound.
Kang Dae-ho lowered his posture as if he was a little disgusted.
Hissing!
As if accepting it as an enemy, ghost ants rushed in.
The scene with dozens of ghost ants crawling on the floor was truly sinister.
Instead of using his fists, Kang Dae-ho kicks the ghost ant with his foot.
wow!
With an explosive sound, the head of the ghost ant in front exploded.
I just kicked him with my foot, how does it sound like this?
A man climbing the ceiling hit me from above.
πππ.
Daeho Kang caught it with beast-like reflexes.
When I applied force to the hand holding the head, the shell broke in vain.
'After all, a famous hunter is different from a cotyledon.'
A man who defeats monsters with his fists, King Kwon, Dae-ho Kang.
He didn't use any weapons.
Even so, the entire body was a weapon.
In short, the 'Inja River'.
The man himself is strong.
"But it's not over yet."
No matter how strong he is, Kang Dae-ho is still a hunter-taker.
Like grace, he lacked experience.
He did not see a ghostly ant approaching from the blind spot on the wall.
If it stays that way, it will tear your neck.
Kwajik!
I stopped him by sticking a spear in the air.
Then, I swung my spear wide, destroying the crowd of ghost ants to secure my place.
Dae-ho Kang, who is more relaxed, begins to run rampant.
'I can't lose either!'
If you want to protect Seol-ah, you shouldn't be left as stupid as before.
I also grabbed the spear properly and started killing the ghost ants.
* * *
Waw!
Kang Dae-ho steps on the head of the remaining ghost ant.
If they don't break their heads, somehow they move.
Therefore, he was not the only one who faced her two or three times.
After all, ghost ants were weaker monsters than stone ants.
There is a lot of hair, so it is a bit difficult, but the treatment itself is not too difficult.
'No.Β Is Seo-Jun a virtue?'
As an examinee, a rookie dungeon is a great dungeon by Kang Dae-ho, who has been attacked several times.
However, unlike back then, I found it strange that the battle was easier.
It was thanks to the spear that helped him whenever he needed it.
Lee Seo-joon helps Kang Dae-ho as if he has provided a good environment to fight.
'strong.'
I never had this thought when I matched up with the other test takers.
However, Kang Dae-ho has no choice but to acknowledge Lee Seo-joon.
The number of ghost ants dying at his feet supported that opinion.
There were a lot of men with holes in their heads only.
'Same as when I pressed the qi Huh Man-soo.'
I am not an ordinary test taker.
Lee Seo-joon returns to Kang Dae-ho after confirming the murder.
"Thank you for your efforts. Do you like your fighting style? Pleasant."
"Only you can say that. They say they're all stupid."
Lee Seo-joon is definitely stronger than Kang Dae-ho.
In fact, in this battle, Lee Seo-joon has strong feelings for helping the inexperienced Kang Dae-ho.
However, Lee Seo-joon never shows any signs of arrogance.
One word of sincerity touched my heart.
"It's true, it's the most interesting hunter I've ever seen."
Until now, the other test takers looked at Kang Dae-ho who was not using a weapon with a strange look.
However, Lee Seo-joon accepts Kang Dae-ho purely, and he does not spare any praise.
'I have a good brother!'
The first impression was good, but since then, he showed a move that had no choice but to be liked.
To be honest, it was also refreshing to suppress the spirit of Heo Man-soo, who transcended the limit.
Rarely, he was a 'good man' with decisiveness as well as manners.
"Hey, want some water?"
"thank you. Whoa!"
"Why are you laughing?"
"I laugh because I feel good! Whoa!"
* * *
"It's solid."
The attack went well.
Kang Dae-ho shows strength that is no different from a professional hunter.
The ghost ant appeared a few more times, but Daeho Kang and I were quite familiar.
Does it stay like that for about an hour?
"Ugh, what's all of a sudden?"
"My eyes hurt a little. Luminescent moss."
We entered an area filled with glowing moss.
Until now, luminescent moss has been stuck in places like floors and walls.
However, the floor and walls, as well as the ceiling, were tightly covered by glowing moss.
"I heard that luminescent moss grows at intervals."
"You're right. It was planted artificially."
"culture? Who?"
"I'll hunt ants."
Ants eat glowing moss.
Ant hunters grow luminous moss to attract stone ants.
You can think of this as a farm where luminescent moss that will be used as bait is grown.
"It's gonna be over soon."
"really. He's not lucky, but I hope he's safe."
I disagree with you, so I thought about the answer for a moment.
I noticed that the moss on my leg was squirming.
It was not clearly visible because it was emitting light, but it was certain.
"Daeho hyung!"
Hearing my urgent cry, Kang Dae-ho also ran to the side as if feeling something.
As soon as we parted, something emerged from the ground.
Waw!
ant hunt.
The boss here has appeared once again.
Not even half of his body was hit by the ground, and he was about 3 meters tall.
Squirming at his spines and hairy legs, he looked over here.
"Wow! Seo Joon-ah! Are you okay!"
"I'm fine!"
It appeared surprisingly, and the Great Lakes split apart, and the ant hunters blocked the gap.
Now that the group had split, it must have been a great opportunity for the ant hunters.
What he was aiming for was me, a relatively small person.
the kuang!
He put his clamp in front and hit me.
You reflexively avoid it and avoid it.
If you hit it authentically, you won't be able to fight.
Was it because I couldn't catch him in the first strike?
It seems like she has no intention of living like Heo Man-soo and taking him to the storage room.
Oops!
He swung his spear like a stick and hit the bastard's brace.
However, the clamp was quite strong, and only resistance was transmitted through the hands.
This is why hunting ants is so difficult.
The upper body, which is the body that protrudes out of the ground, is surrounded by a hard shell of crustaceans.
the piece!Β the piece!
Dae-ho Kang also tries to attack from the other side, but there is no punch in sight.
I frowned and held the window straight.
'There's no room to dig like a golem!'
Unlike the Tiny Golem, it squirmed and moved nonstop.
There must have been a gap in his joints, but it wasn't easy to target those joints that were pulled out quickly.
If you are caught by a Clamp, you will be thrown directly into the wall.
"Daeho hyung!"
"uh!"
"You have to pull it!"
I used evil and swung my spear.
It's not a leg or a head, it's an antenna.
Apparently, the antennae are not protected by shells.
The person whose antennae were cut off struggled and glared at me.
"Are you going to take it? What are you talking about!"
"This guy! You have to pull it off the ground!"
If there was Heo Man-su, a witch, it would be easy to dig the ground, but now we can't do it, so there's only one way.
It was impossible to attack the lower body through the stone floor.
I had no choice but to pull him off the ground.
'I don't know if it's anyone else, but is it Kang Dae-ho!'
After several battles, Kang Dae-ho's strength was measured to a certain extent.
An ant hunter is a monster that weighs hundreds of kilograms, but probably with a big river.
Believe that, I caught his attention.
πππ.
I saw Kang Dae-ho grabbing the ant hunter's body from behind.
It seemed like he had almost hugged her, but from the start, he would not pay too much attention to her.
However, feeling an unusual pressure, he began to violently rebel.
Kee uh!
He bends his legs back and stabs Kang Dae-ho from behind.
However, since his legs were not too long, he could not stab properly.
I pierced the spear with all my might from the front.
Oops!
No matter how armored the monster was, it was unable to completely block the mana-filled spear.
If you stab it properly, you can deliver an effective blow, even if it is not fatal.
The man who looked up once in the air in pain looked at me again.
It managed to distract.
"Ohhhh!"
Kang Dae-ho exclaims and pulls him with all his might.
The one that had been buried in the ground trembled and was pulled upwards more and more.
Oops!
Kang Dae-ho's arm muscles expand.
No matter how strong the grip was, the shell surrounding the creature's body was slightly distorted.
That's an incredible power.
"Ohhhh!"
Kang Dae-ho clenched his teeth with a reddened face and pulled the man out.
He raised his large body, but only part of his lower body was visible due to its size.
But that's enough.
Holding the spear like a spear, I aimed downwards.
The skinless part is revealed.
'You have to finish it in one shot!'
I held the spear for a long time and stabbed it with all my might.
a pug!
The iron spear that contained mana pierced through the soft flesh.
Blood spurted out like sticky sap.
Although about half of the spear had been pierced, the spear did not die.
Kee uh!
I screamed and twisted my body to attack me below.
I grabbed the end of the rod and clenched my teeth.
As much as Kang Dae-ho uses his power, I do my best.
I pushed the window to the side with all my might.
The handle of the iron spear tore through the soft flesh.
The rectangular duck!
