âAh, I felt strange mana digging through the mountain tunnel to the forest of trees, so I finished the workâŚâ
âChief Choi said to what extent did you think it would be?â
âYou said it was a unique level monster.â
âall right.â
Daenam Jeong looked at Lloyd with a glance through the mirror and asked.
âIf itâs two people, itâll be fine, ha-ha⌠âŚ.â
As Daenam Jeong smiled awkwardly, Lloyd, who was looking at the map, put the map in the item window and said,
âIt is not uncommon for a hunting ground of level 120 or higher to suddenly appear during the transition from the level 60 hunting ground to the level 80 hunting ground, but it has only happened three times in the world.â
âYeah, thatâs right.â
âEven if it is a level 120 or higher hunting ground, the master alone will have no problems.â
âThatâs right, Master is ha-ha⌠âŚ.â
As Jeong Dae-nam let out an awkward laugh, Jun-woo asked Lloyd.
âBut is it okay if Lloyd doesnât rest?â
âItâs fine; itâs natural to follow the master as you go.â
âThank you, but⌠⌠If you donât call me, you donât have to follow me; just let me rest when you have a break.â
âOkay, Master.â
Lloyd was smiling.
Daenam Jeong glanced at Lloyd with curious eyes, then adjusted his posture and looked ahead.
I heard rumors about the rumored homunculus that he was active in Yunnan, but it was unknown what skill level he had or what his occupation was.
âHow much would you like? That one⌠âŚ.â
Jeong Dae-nam hurriedly looked ahead as their eyes met through the rearview mirror.
Lloyd asked slyly.
âIs this the first time a dungeon, grave, or artifact has been discovered while working on a tunnel?â
âYeah? Alas, I did find a broken tomb, but it was a tomb of little importance, and small relics were also found, so I wrote it all down in the report.â
âAha, I didnât see the report. I heard there are also legends among the relics; can you unearth one?â
âYeah? Ha-haâŚ, I also want to discover⌠âŚ.â
âJust find it. The owner will take care of the bonus generously. Of course, depending on what kind of dungeon this dungeon is, the owner will give it to those struggling.â
âAh, I know, I know⌠âŚ. I wish it was a treasure dungeon.â
It could be a general hunting ground, or it could be a hidden dungeon with special rewards.
The discovered place is a place unknown to the world.
There was a high probability that there was something a little special.
When miners or adventurers found such a special place, they did not have to go in and sell it to the guild.
The flying car flew through the wild forest called the rainforest.
The four defense robots that cut through the road took the lead and fought, so they could quickly escape from the hunting ground without being attacked.
âWhich direction?â
Jeong Dae-nam looked at the defensive robot beyond the window with a curious face and responded hastily.
âYeah! Itâs over there.â
As he flew in the direction his hand was pointing, he saw a house that the Earth Wizard had built temporarily.
It was a dormitory for workers and guards.
As I got out of the car, Manager Choi, in his 40s with an Epic+ rating, who was in charge of this place, approached me.
âWelcome, Master.â
âThank you for your hard work. Can we go straight to the place where it was discovered?â
âof course. I will take the lead.â
âYeah.â
When Director Choi started running, Jun-woo followed.
Lloyd didnât like to run, so he pulled out his flying bike and followed him.
The huge mountain range blocking the way was a mountain blocking the way to the forest of trees.
It was where the longest tunnel had to be drilled, and the work speed was rather fast as the ground was not as hard as the square of the land.
The wordsâ Aegis work siteâ was written on the erected monument, and a huge tunnel was built in front of it.
Jun-woo entered the entrance, which would be mistaken for a dungeon if anyone unfamiliar saw it.
The blue light emitted from the battle suit lit the inside, as Director Choi said as they walked side by side.
âJust a little bit further, Master. There it is.â
A small hole in the side where the front was blocked by a stone.
As I walked in front of it, I felt the negative energy of mana.
There seemed to be a monster that was expected to be about the level of the square of the earth.
âFall down.â
Jun-woo spoke out, summoned three square-shaped self-destructive robots, and placed them at the narrow entrance.
When Lloyd, Daenam Jeong, and Manager Choi stepped back, there was an explosion, and Jun-woo stood next to Lloyd.
Wow!
As the surrounding stones exploded with the sound of a violent explosion and stone dust fluttered, Lloydâs hand went down from top to bottom.
Then the stone dust settled on the floor and sank.
Jun-woo looked at Lloyd as if wondering.
âHow did you do it? Is it a terrain change?â
If the earth wizards had the terrain change skill, they could adjust the soil like before.
âNo, I just tried a trick with a skill.â
âItâs an application, somehow.â
It felt like a shock.
âThe entrance has been expanded into one room. Come in, Master.â
âOkay, letâs go in.â
âOthers, please wait outside.â
âYes, be careful, both of you.â
âCome on, Iâll be waiting for you!â
Jun-wooâs battle suit emitted blue light and entered the cavern.
The narrow cave road, about 3m in width and height, was a hunting ground that Jun-woo was reluctant to.
It was difficult to fly properly, and the attack range of mana cannons and shell robots was too limited.
Still, it was a weak hunting ground for Jun-woo, so it didnât matter much, so four defensive robots took the lead and walked.
Strangely enough, many things, like tree roots, were embedded in the ceiling.
As Lloyd plucked the tree roots that were shimmering like a spiderâs web in front of him, the soil from the ceiling fell slightly.
âWhy is there such a thing as a root in such a place? Is it because itâs a forest of trees right before you?â
Across the tunnel was a forest of thick trees.
Wooden monsters and many tree-related monsters were moving, such as tree golems and evil spirit saplings.
As I turned the curve, I saw a large bug.
It was like a long-lived beetle, about the size of a hippopotamus.
There was a huge, sharp thing like a horn in front of it, and it was an insect that believed in it and attacked it.
Wow!
The worm blew up one of the defensive robots and shook its head wildly.
Phut!
The defensive robots hit in all directions, and Jun-wooâs support fire started.
Phut!
The thick shell was torn off of the mana po, and the juice was splashed here and there.
The defensive robot smashed the horns by hand and pierced the side with the regime.
Kwajik!
Phut!
When the worm was hit head-on, it jumped back and stopped moving.
Jun-woo looked at Lloyd, who was only watching from behind.
âLloyd, you can attack.â
âno. In this place, the owner must eat alone. I wondered if it would come at all, but just in case, I followed along. Donât worry about me; hunt, my lord.â
âYesâŚ, thanks.â
âNo, Iâm going to go one step further; go ahead.â
âyes.â
A stat could be given to each number of monsters hunted, and no one knew what kind of reward would be given depending on the contribution of the dungeon breakthrough.
Jun-woo caught the bugs and went inside.
Insects with spear-like horns and beetle-like tongs picked up with tongs rushed in.
Pop!
Two bugs were burned to death with the explosion, followed by three rushing in.
One of them spewed out a liquid that did damage if it came into contact with the skin as if it were a long-distance brother.
Dodging lightly, Jun-woo poured out an attack.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
On the way Jun-woo entered, the insects kept dying.
Lloyd followed Jun-woo, looking at the corpses that did not disappear.
Unlike normal monsters, monsters in special places did not immediately disappear.
Pugh!
With the explosion, Lloyd could feel that all the monsters inside the cave had been cleaned up.
As Lloyd slowly approached, he returned the way he had gone as if Jun-woo was coming to meet him.
âAre you done? master.â
âNo, itâs a secret dungeon.â
âIf itâs a secret dungeon⌠âŚ.â
A place called an instant or secret dungeon.
If you enter through the portal, a quest will occur, and you have to do it within the time limit and then come out.
âCan I come and see you for a moment?â
âyes.â
Lloyd quickly ran away.
[Invitation to the Forest]
-Class: Unique
-Level limit: 80 or higher
-People limit: 0/3
-Remaining time: 51 minutes 54 seconds
-Description: You can go through the portal to the forest where plant-related monsters live. There are quests inside the portal, and you can receive rewards when you complete the quests.
The secret dungeon had time to be discovered.
Sales could be made over time, but generally, sales were rare because the time was not long.
In the end, only the discoverer and the people in the vicinity had to enter, and if circumstances were not sufficient, they gave up in some cases.
However, in this dungeon, Jun-woo would probably be able to pass the time without too much trouble, even if he entered alone.
Lloyd ran to Jun-woo, who was waiting.
âWhat are you going to do? master.â
I didnât know what kind of quests there would be.
In some cases, each did a quest or a party of three and had to act together.
âLetâs go out and inform him and bring Dae-nam Jeong.â
âAha, yes.â
There was nothing wrong with Jun-woo, so he thought of taking the miner Jeong Dae-nam with him.
When I went outside, I saw Manager Choi and Dae-nam Jeong, as well as guild members and miners waiting for me.
âA secret dungeon has been discovered. You have to go with 3 people and are level 80 or higher.â
Director Choi, level 90, the highest level here, hastily said.
âThen I will go in with you two.â
Lloyd immediately opened his mouth.
âNo, I want miner Jeong Dae-nam to come in. In terms of combat power, the master and I are enough. If you can find something in time, itâs better to find it. Of course, if we find it, we will reward you according to the reward.â
Lloyd did what Jun-woo was going to say.
Director Choi, who was about to go in with him, looked regretful.
If you go in with the two of you, there will be no danger, and you will be able to get big and small rewards.
âOh, I see⌠âŚ.â
âThank you for your understanding, Manager Choi. Jung Dae-nam, letâs go together.â
âYes, Yes⌠âŚ.â
âYou can proceed with the tunnel construction.â
Director Choi nodded and answered.
âall right. We will proceed.â
Jun-woo looked at Director Choi and spoke.
âthank you. Then I will go.â
Jun-woo lightly bowed his head and entered the cave.
As he walked, Dae-nam Jeong asked with a bewildered face.
âHey, itâs my first time⌠What should I do when I go in?â
âAre you a miner? Letâs find the hidden artifact with me.â
âYeah, so I donât have to fight?â
âPerhaps. If itâs a subjugation, the master alone is enough.â
âYes, YesâŚ, after⌠âŚ. Iâm pretty nervous. Itâs my first time going through a portal.â
Jun-woo said while standing in front of the portal.
âDonât worry, just go in and do what you always do. The monsters wonât come near you.â
âYes, I understand, Master.â
âCome in in five minutes.â
âYes, Master.â
Jun-woo entered the portal.
When Jun-woo disappeared, Lloyd said.
âIâll go in first, donât be nervous.â
âYeah! Lloyd.â
Lloyd followed.
Jeong Dae-nam, who counted the candles in his heart, stood in front of the portal with a trembling heart, took a deep breath, and went inside.
Then the cave disappeared, and the environment made up of green meadows and forests spread out before my eyes.
