Chapter 242
It wasn’t as difficult as Hyeonu had expected to find the habitat of the legion worker ants that he called the ‘ant dungeon . ’ In fact, he found it quickly . He managed to find it just by climbing up a tree and looking at the forest .
‘The first ones came . ’
The ants were huge, and there was a high number of them . Therefore, finding the ants was easy . Hyeonu followed the ants who were returning somewhere with things on their backs . He chased the ants for 30 minutes before arriving in front of a huge ant cave, where the ants were lined up to enter .
‘I see the entrance . ’
Hyeonu waited until the procession of ants was over . Once the legion worker ants were no longer visible, he stood in front of the ant cave . Just then, a message window appeared in front of Hyeonu .
[Are you sure you want to enter Legion Worker Ants Cave?]
Hyeonu saw the message window before him and cheered under his breath . Forgetting to hold onto Tang-E, Hyeonu stretched his fists out toward the sky .
‘This is it!!’
The best situation that he wanted had occurred . The ant cave was an instance dungeon, not a field . It was a place where he could expect to get experience and rewards . This made it much less burdensome to break away from the main scenario . Hyeonu said in a joyful voice, “I will enter . ”
Then he and Tang-E disappeared from the Balder Mountains .
***
[You have entered the Legion Worker Ants Cave . ]
As he dropped Tang-E onto the ground, Hyeonu turned his head from side to side to observe the surroundings .
‘It is complicated . ’
The interior of the instance dungeon looked like several chemical molecular models attached together .
“Master dude, there are so many paths . ”
The problem was that the paths were so complicated . Unlike ordinary dungeons, there were so many ant holes that Hyeonu couldn’t distinguish which ones were actually passages .
“So it won’t be easy to find the way?”
Unlike his words, Hyeonu wasn’t too worried . So what if he got a bit lost? In any case, today’s stream would start and end in here .
“I don’t think there will be anything uncomfortable . . . ?” Hyeonu said . The size of the legion worker ants was so large that the holes in the cave were also very large . It meant there wouldn’t be any problems with wielding the sword or jumping around .
“I think I can move even if my size grows,” Tang-E stated . Then he lightly tapped the dirt in the form of a chemical molecular model in front of him, and it crumbled . This showed the strength of the dirt model wasn’t that strong and that Tang-E would have no problems using Giant Transformation .
‘There is no power limitation at all . ’
One of the reasons why the clear rate of those who first discovered the instance dungeon wasn’t high was due to an absence of information . There were many cases where the players were unaware that their power was reduced due to being in a limited environment . Nonetheless, there was no such thing in the legion ant cave . It was unknown where the light came from, but it was bright enough to secure high visibility and prevent it from being a limited environment .
“Tang-E, we will be in here today,” Hyeonu said while pointing to the dirt model in front of him .
“Today is here!” Tang-E took the same posture as Hyeonu and shouted in the same way .
***
Hyeonu moved to the far right passage without worrying as he didn’t think he would find the right path immediately . He had no expectations, no worries, and no disappointment .
‘I have to go around to as many places as possible due to the stream . ’
He couldn’t clear the dungeon even if he knew the location of the boss monster . Why? That was because time was running out . His stream would begin in approximately one hour and 30 minutes . He just wanted to learn the geography of the dungeon properly and know the types of monsters that would appear . It was like an old dungeon where desert goblins came out .
‘I can’t think of any other materials that I’ll need once the stream starts . ’
There was a smile on Hyeonu’s face .
***
[The first release of an instance dungeon in the Balder Mountains, the dungeon attack stream!]
As usual, Hyeonu put up a title that grabbed people’s attention . In this regard, Hyeonu didn’t lose his original intentions . Despite the growing number of viewers, the title was always provocative and stimulating .
-Today will be a long day of streaming .
-If it is a dungeon attack, it will be at least 8 hours .
-8 hours? The Balder Mountains is a difficult place . We will be watching for at least 12 hours, even if it is Alley Leader . . .
-Isn’t it usually 12 minutes?
-Since it is Alley Leader, it should be shorter .
The audience was consistent as they talked about how many hours today’s stream would be . Like an appetizer before the main course, the chat always started like this .
-By the way, what dungeon is it?
-I want humanoid monsters to come out .
-Me too . This way, the battle will be more interesting .
-What if there are ants like the other day?
-I hate ants . I hate insects . I love elves .
The appetizer passed and then it was the main dish . From Hyeonu’s title, the viewers speculated on the content of today’s stream . However, it didn’t last long . Hyeonu showed up . If it was just him, they would’ve made noise according to their own thoughts, but there was a golden bear sitting on Hyeonu’s shoulder . Tang-E appeared and stole the attention of the viewers .
-Tang-E!!
-Lick lick, it is Tang-E!
-Tang-E is so good . . .
-Give Tang-E to me!
Despite that, Tang-E couldn’t see the chat window . He was staring ahead with a cold expression . There were only a few times when Tang-E relaxed his expression . It was when his master, Alley Leader, called for him .
“Tang-E, shouldn’t you say hello?”
At Hyeonu’s words, Tang-E came down from Hyeonu’s shoulder, placed a paw on his stomach and greeted his belly button . A word that contradicted his polite attitude came out of his mouth, “Hey . ”
Nevertheless, the viewers became more enthusiastic because of this . The gap between his cute appearance and his rough speech made them happy .
-Tang-E is the Best Best has gifted you 98 gold coins .
-Tang-E is Cute has gifted you 72 gold coins .
-Buy Tang-E has gifted you 86 gold coins .
Naturally, gold coins followed . The viewers didn’t feel upset at all . On the contrary, they thought that they would be able to see Tang-E for longer if they gave more gifts .
‘Now I can proceed . ’
Hyeonu noticed from the rising gold coins and fast chat window that the audience’s concentration had reached the peak . It was the know-how he had developed from months of live streaming experience .
“So let’s talk about today’s stream . As you can see, this isn’t a very familiar background . ”
The place where Hyeonu was currently standing was where he appeared a few hours ago when he entered the ant cave . There were many piles of dirt in the shape of a chemical molecular model .
-What is that? It is familiar?
-Hey, shit . This is an ant cave .
-An ant cave looks like this .
-Oh, he found the home of the ants that he killed last time .
The audience’s expressions could be inferred just from the chat window . It was obvious that they were frowning .
-Uh, crazy . Seriously . Why did he have to look for it . . . ?
-Did he come to get revenge for the other day?
-Thinking back, it is possible . I admit it .
-It is common sense reasoning . He came to get revenge .
“It isn’t like that . I really just stumbled upon it . They came as a group and gave experience, gold, and skill proficiency . Why should I take revenge?”
Hyeonu was stunned by the messages the viewers’ messages . He had never thought of it . Why take revenge on a monster that gave so generously? ‘The ants even paid for the streaming content today . ’
“So I will clear this dungeon before the stream ends today . I will neatly kill the boss monster . Of course, I won’t have to search through the entire dungeon . . . Probably,” Hyeonu said in a subtle manner .
Then the viewers started going wild . They were mainly viewers who had been watching Alley Leader since his very first stream .
-It seems he wants to clear it quickly and get off work quickly .
-Rather, let’s take some time . It has to be prevented from ending quickly .
-You can’t get off work!!
-Guarantee that the stream will be at least 8 hours long!
It was obvious without seeing it that he was planning for a quick end to the stream . The viewers judged it this way .
“No, it won’t be done quickly . I’ve been going around here for around 30 minutes, and it is a maze . I can’t find my way . ”
-So you’ll do it for longer?
-Okay, okay . I believe you .
-Then it will be at least 10 hours . Good .
-Start quickly . The introduction is too long .
“Then I will start smashing the ant cave . ”
The stream started in earnest .
***
-It looks like the place where he just came from?
-Is this him being unable to find the destination? What is he doing? How many times has it been?
-So let’s go to one side only . Oh, my .
The viewers were frustrated . They had already given up counting the number of times . It was clear that Alley Leader was getting lost . Otherwise, it was impossible for him to keep wandering around like this . Yet the viewers were mistaken . This was all according to Hyeonu’s plan and design . Getting lost was just a concept . Hyeonu had spent more than two hours before the stream looking around the legion worker ants’ cave .
‘The dungeon is narrow . ’
It had a complicated layout, but if he took the proper route, he could reach the boss room in three or four hours based on Hyeonu’s hunting speed .
‘Of course, this is because it is me . ’
In a way, it was a penalty for Hyeonu himself . His hunting speed was too fast, and his attack power was too strong . Additionally, his synergy with his pet, Tang-E, was too high . This was the result of everything being put together .
“Ah, it’s not this way . There is no luck . How angry should I be?” Hyeonu told the lie fluently .
Tang-E let out a small groan at Hyeonu’s appearance, “Wicked, insidious, ragpicker, demon . ”
Clearly, Master dude had searched the dungeon with him, so it was almost impossible for them to get lost .
Then like he didn’t hear Tang-E, Hyeonu continued to talk blatantly, “Then I will go to the next room . This time, I hope it is the right path . ”
Hyeonu went into the passage for the next room . The ant waiting for him in the room wasn’t a green-shelled ant . Instead, a red-shelled ant that was twice as large as the green-shelled ant moved its antennae in Hyeonu’s direction . Hyeonu already knew the identity of the giant red ants .
They were the legion soldier ants . Unlike the legion worker ants, they had considerable combat capability . They had fast movements, a hard chin, and sharp forefeet . Among them, their red eyes that had a laser of the fire attribute were quite intimidating . Of course, the ants could grow larger and look even more awful .
“A new type has appeared . They look pretty powerful,” Hyeonu commented like he didn’t know anything .
-Sigh, it’s so ugly .
-Yes . I really hate it, hate it .
The viewers frowned at the legion soldier ants who boasted an even more powerful appearance . At this moment, the legion soldier ants’ eyes turned red, and they fired lasers at Hyeonu’s head .
