Hoarding in Hell Novel

Chapter 154 red flesh (3)

‘test?’

Hyunmoo remembered a nightmare of the ordeal that Yogulem had fallen upon.

the bottom of the cauldron. A crossroads covered with ghouls, ghasts, zombies, and the hungry.

Memories that have risen in the midst of a father’s affliction of eating and being eaten by each other. I have only horrible and terrifying memories.

Of course, I didn’t want that to happen again.

But Hyunmoo immediately felt himself shivering with anticipation.

Difficulty: After desperately building a shelter and inflating his powers in Hell, he has found a haven that is barely worthy of living.

At least in this area, there was no tricky one, and the amount of time he survived without dying was considerable.

Hyunmoo felt herself slowly stagnating.

Meanwhile, an ordeal quest appeared.

finally.

Hyunmoo answered without hesitation.

“I will accept it.”

How could you resist the pleasure of being covered with scars in the mud and roaring victory?

[Wailing Star, Verde, is watching you.][The Broken Star, Ghaul is watching you.][The starving star, Yogulem, is watching you.][The conquering star, Ardan, is watching you.][The roaring star, Hermas, is watching you.]

After a long time, he felt the stars staring at him. In the midst of these countless gazes, Hyunmoo accepted a new quest.

[Quest occurs!][The ‘Red Flesh’ quest begins.][Defeat the Widow Spider.][Curse: Cobweb is given.][The cobwebs you can’t escape from are getting tighter and tighter towards you.]

The widow spider?

Hyunmoo was puzzled by the name he had not heard in a long time.

The widow spider is the monster that helped Hyunmoo when Yogulem faced the ordeal.

It prevented mosquito swarms from attacking, and Hyunmoo’s equipment was also upgraded.

Of course, it was also by order of Montstril, but he did not know that it would appear as the goal of the quest.

‘What’s the purpose of Montstril?’

Montstril said he was the only star among the stars that could talk directly to Hyunmoo.

He thought that if he had something to say he would certainly speak directly to him, but as yet he had not said anything.

Rather, he directly grants the ordeal and gives him a quest to kill the widow, the queen spider, who is his clan.

If there is an intention, it will be one of the two.

A test or a gift.

‘Either way, you have to kill the widow spider. Next is ‘Curse’… … .’

In the days of Yogulem, the content of the curse was relatively intuitive.That the monsters will feel a strong appetite for themselves.

It was a fatal curse, but at the same time it became the basis for victory. However, the meaning of this curse was a little ambiguous.

‘A spider’s web that you can’t escape from is tightening?’

I didn’t feel anything right now. But the meaning was not clear.

I couldn’t tell if I was literally tightening my body or being confined to a specific place.

Still, it didn’t seem as difficult as ‘Curse: Tasty’. However, as long as it is a ‘curse’, it cannot be viewed lightly.

‘First, let’s find out where the widow spider is.’

***

The Widow Spider was no longer in the former vacant lot.

As Hyunmoo instructed him to look out for the area, the prey seemed to have diminished. However, it was not difficult to find him.

The widow spider had only moved to a more plentiful prey.

Directly to the building where crystal flowers are blooming.

Hyunmoo smiled bitterly as he looked at the building where Sujeonghwa bloomed.

It was indistinguishable from a distance, but the cobwebs were covered in white between the crystal moss.

Even though the flying insects are far away, if you look at what you can see, they are roughly bigger than Hyunmoo, but not small.

“Kazat, how many bugs do you think there are?”

“The number of worms is unknown. Great lord. Most winged worms stay in the sky and only come down from time to time. Crystals are like honey jars that keep them on the ground.”

be crystallized

Hyunmoo wondered why Montstril had given him the ordeal before he could even capture the crystal.

He wondered if it was the timing for the quest to begin soon anyway, but he wondered if there was any meaning in starting at the point where he was trying to find the crystal.

‘If Montstril’s intention is… … Well, that’s obvious.’

Montstril openly seduced himself.

To love and worship yourself.

Of course, the goals of the other stars who are interested in Hyunmoo are not very different from Montstril’s.

However, Montstril was more active in expression.

Probably because of the identity of the stars.

To be worshiped and loved is the most intense desire of Montstril.

“It’s like a seed of interest.”

Hyunmoo mumbled with a twisted smile.

“Are you great?”

“Um, no. That’s right. Then, it’d be good to go out as a scout for once.”

It would be nice to call Kirson and send them reconnaissance, but he is moving with Park Hwi-so right now.

While the quest started, he was unable to use the Hearthstone, so he thought of calling out Kirsson as much as possible.

Hyunmoo and Kazat headed to the crystal-flowered building.

It was in the same direction as the place where the Orcs were smashed in the past, but it was quite a distance.

The closer I got to the place where the crystal flower was, the more bug-type monsters I got.

[The Ash Empire Worker (LV 26)]

A giant swarm of ants, only calves, was covering the larvae the size of a house and dismantling them in real time. The bodily fluid from the caterpillar covered the street.

I even saw an ant riding on another ant leading it.

Surprisingly, they showed little interest in Hyunmoo. Hyunmoo passed by without even paying attention.

Starting with the swarm of ants, more and more insects began to appear.

I thought the swarm of ants was also very bizarre, but that was nothing. The closer I got to the building with the crystal flower, the more strange it started to get.

[Goul Empire Soldier Ant (LV 41)][Cantana Royal Palace Warrior Ant (LV 45)]

Affiliation meant nothing.

At least dozens or hundreds of ants claiming to be empires and monarchies were roaming around.

There weren’t that many, but it was strange to see such a variety of species roaming around.

Hyunmoo became uneasy to approach the ground any longer and climbed up the building.

Of course, there were bugs on it too, but not many.

Hyunmoo, who looked around the building with crystal flowers in a non-hazardous line, muttered as if it were ridiculous.

“what is this?”

It wasn’t just belonging that was different.

As we got closer to the crystal-flowered building, various insects such as ants, bees, moths, moths, mosquitoes, and flies were infested.

No, I don’t think it’s sincere to express it in various ways.

they were weird No, it was bizarre.

There was no single insect that looked the same, and it was a group of living things that were mixed up in a random mess.

There was no longer any affiliation or classification of species. Even the name was messed up and only the level was displayed.

“What, this. What the hell is going on?”

“Certain crossbreeding… isn’t it?”

cross-breeding? Hyunmoo turned to Kazat.

Kazat looked down at the bugs under the building with a look of great interest.

“Originally, they are creatures that can’t fit their stomachs, but obviously there are traces of a mix of genes. They look so messed up that it’s hard to find the original.”

“No, stop saying anything that anyone can say. If you have any guesses as to why you look like that, why don’t you tell me?”

“Well, that’s fine with me… but I’m sure you’ll find out soon enough if you’re a great person.”

What a helpless child.

Hyunmoo pretended to be a mistake and stepped on Kazat’s tail. Kazat let out a moan of pain, but Hyunmoo pretended not to hear and watched the worms carefully.

A bee’s sting on the body of an ant, a moth pattern and a butterfly’s eye.

You seem to be looking at a chimera made of only insects.

Each level was not very high, but the behavior patterns could not be controlled at all.

Some of them lie on their faces as if dead and remain docile, while others attack and disassemble passing insects. Some of them also devour the corpse voraciously.

It was confusion itself.

Hyunmoo clicked his tongue.

“Analysis doesn’t make any sense. Let’s go back and see if there’s a way to organize them all at once. And…”

Then Hyunmoo felt a shadow cast over his head.

Hyunmoo leaned on Kazat’s head while at the same time crouching down. Sharp fangs grazed in a close position.

What flew out of the sky was a huge mantis, much taller than Hyunmoo.

‘No, should I call that a mantis?’

[Blind Wind Mantis (LV 48)]’Is that really the right name? Maybe it’s not a combination of a mosquito and a mantis, is it?’

There were no traces of mosquitoes.

“Sweet love liquid!”

But mantis… … No, the moment the mantis roared, the mosquito’s snout slipped out of its round mouth covered with hundreds of fangs.

Hyunmoo was able to avoid getting a mosquito spout stuck in his brain again in a few moments.

“This guy and that guy, the mosquitoes, only target my brain.”

Hyunmoo smiled bitterly as he thought of Lenian. Then he soon took out his ride and ignited his will to fight.

Kazat also prepared to fight, but Hyunmoo kicked him in the ass.

“You go and prepare the things I mentioned. Those modified ones. I think it’ll be useful this time, so I’ll have to speed up the production period.”

“Oh, I see. Great man. Then I…”

Hyunmoo summoned Kazat back before he even finished speaking.

Difficulty: Whether in hell or in reality, when Hyunmoo’s family is reverse summoned, they return to the point where Hyunmoo comes back to life, the crossroads.

“Well then, are we the only two left?”

However, the mantis did not seem to wait patiently. It flapped its wings at regular intervals.

Then he felt the shadows hovering over Hyunmoo’s head again. It sounds like they were singing the same song.

Does not matter. Because clear violence is better than indistinguishable chaos.

As soon as the mantis attacked, Hyunmoo launched ‘Battle Helper’. At the same time as the eyes were dyed purple, a purple river suddenly rose.

It was a change that occurred when the Battle Helper became the only rank.

In the countless battle patterns that Hyunmoo couldn’t even remember, an advantageous fighting method was engraved on his body when he was dealing with a giant monster such as a mantis.

Before Hyunmoo could even think of how to move his body, he felt himself wielding his sword.

Whoop, whoop.

Hyunmoo cut off the mantis’ claw, and at the same time, aimed precisely at the joint of the leg.

The ganggi surrounding the body adjusts the wangeuk of the body and infuses power only on the parts that are exactly necessary. Without much effort, one of the mantis’ forelimbs fell off.

Go away, her bodily fluids splashed out, and her mother-in-law let out her screams. Mosquito snouts spewed back towards Hyunmoo.

At that moment, Hyunmoo unwittingly ignited a fire through ‘Helburg’s disjointed passion’ absorbed in the ride. He screamed and had to run away.

Other bugs also spread the distance to Hyunmoo’s flames. Hyunmoo came up with a simple common sense looking at it.

“Bugs are weak against fire.”

For worms, fire is rat poison. It burns easily, and unlike animals, burns do not heal well.

Hyunmoo raised the corners of his lips.

If so, I don’t think it would be too difficult. Hyunmoo took a step bigger and coveted the bugs that attacked him.

A powerful fire began to engulf the surroundings. Insects caught on fire blazed wildly and frantically.

Then, Hyunmoo felt there were too many bugs.

Obviously, there were only five or six of them up until now, but all of a sudden, insects were filling their surroundings.

Countless swarms of insects were flocking to the sky.

Only then did Hyunmoo come up with another simple common sense.

‘Huh… … Come to think of it, don’t bugs like fire?’
