Episode 799. The Primordial Ecosystem (3)

Booooooo!

“They’re all here. They’re all here!”

“It’s home. Home!”

The fierce sound of wings pounding on the eardrums.

At the edge of my vision, which was changing at a fairly rapid pace, I saw a giant bee nest.

[You have reached the deepest layer of the niche ruins, ‘Roots of the Mountain Range’!]

[An opportunity is created to open the passage to the 50th floor]

A strangely shaped hive made of wax, suspended in midair, surrounded by countless armored bees.

Of course, the only monsters around here are those guys.

This was the result of there being no fools brave enough to approach their territory.

‘Except for Ellis, all the other members have scattered.’

Because there are so many places to store food.

Still, since I gave them each a note with their roles, they will probably take care of themselves.

Because they were all strong people who had been through hardships and survived until the 49th floor.

“Oh! I’m flying!”

Ellis, who had regained her composure, flapped her arms and legs.

Right then.

Bam!

The strength that had been holding my shoulder disappeared.

“uh?”

Naturally, gravity pulled it down.

The place it fell into was a black pit.

To be exact, it was a warehouse where all kinds of prey were stored.

Most of them were sweet-smelling fruits and insects.

Due to the nature of the armor bees, which eat sugar as their staple food, they do not eat meat except when absolutely necessary.

“Still, there are quite a few alive ones, and there aren’t any bees guarding them to keep them from escaping.”

“Well, they probably think that nothing can escape their territory.”

Just come and take it out and eat it whenever you need. That’s it.

The leeway that the top predators of the ecosystem had was absolute.

‘I’m a bit nervous about the Queen and her guards. I’ll have to be nervous if I want to clear it with 1 coin.’

It’s the highest level of difficulty.

It would be several times easier to bicker with the twelve zodiac signs on the mountain of Hwagwa.

Of course, that’s if you choose to fight.

‘I’ll try something a little different this time.’

The corners of Jinhyuk’s mouth kept twitching.

My nerves were already tingling at the thought of trying something new.

By the way.

‘I’m sure the kids elsewhere are doing well.’

Permut’s comment that there was a variable in the place where the Jin tribe was continued to grate on my nerves.

If Mujinryong refuses to cooperate or is thinking differently… .

Things could have gotten quite complicated.

Because additional cooperation from powerful kings was absolutely necessary to overcome this situation.

“Ellis.”

“huh?”

“Hold on a second, I’ll go to the other side and come back. If any bees come, shake them to wake them up.”

Normally, it takes more than a week to find the stored prey again.

However, now that I’ve applied the specially prepared honey, it’s an exception.

Because it gives off such a sweet scent, bees might come by at any time.

The queen of the armored bees was rumored to be a great gourmet.

“Okay, just trust me.”

Ellis straightened her shoulders.

I feel a little uneasy when I see you being overly confident.

It’ll be okay though.

Even if the worst case scenario were to occur and the personal guards came, Ellis would be able to withstand it.

‘Well then, shall we begin?’

Jinhyuk sat down and quietly closed his eyes.

Focus your consciousness and synchronize your magical powers.

Okay then.

***

[‘Consciousness shifts.’]

A new perspective came to me with a short phrase.

These were scenes seen by the clone made of ‘Residual Moonlight’.

Because I had ordered them to follow the trail that Teresa had left behind, I had already reached the innermost part of the salt lake where the Jin people lived.

Jinhyuk lowered his posture.

‘The situation is too serious to just leave it to the clone.’

I needed to fully synchronize my consciousness and examine the situation for myself.

[‘Cheonrajimang’ is activated!]

Woohoo!

The excitement spread widely.

Then, the unique magical power of the Jin tribe began to be detected in large numbers.

“… … .”

Jinhyuk’s expression darkened slightly.

… … The place where all the magical powers gather is the ‘Hall of Battle.’

A huge space where the entire clan gathers only to discuss important matters.

There was only one thing that could bring all the Jin clan together at this time.

‘Are you trying to side with the enemies?’

Teresa’s magical wavelength is unstable.

It means that one’s emotions are fluctuating greatly.

In addition, he was wearing restraints all over his body due to his profanity.

Things are worse than I thought.

“Come out.”

A word muttered into thin air.

As expected, there was no response.

You know full well that this is going to lead to a contract and you’re watching, so you’re joking?

You haven’t been getting enough of it lately. Are you losing your senses?

Or is it that he’s become arrogant again because he came to his own territory?

In either case, the problem is that the penalty for contempt should be doubled.

Jinhyuk concentrated his magical power into his right hand.

Parts!

Blue lightning flashed through the clouds.

Okay then.

“Kyaaaaah! I got it. I got it! Save me. Keuuuck!”

A dragon appeared, beating its entire body violently.

Although he had cleverly hidden himself through ‘weather changes’, it was not enough to escape Jinhyuk’s eyes.

“How did things turn out like this? Wasn’t Mujinryong something you could have persuaded on your own?”

“That, that’s… That guy is colder than I thought. I think he still hates me because of what happened in the past.”

If it were in the past… .

“You ran away with that damn pearl?”

“That, that’s right. But that’s all about the clan… .”

“I already heard the dog barking about it being for safety. The problem is, he doesn’t even listen to it.”

“That’s a big problem.”

“ha.”

Jinhyuk is nagging

The ‘Yongsin’s Yeouiju’ that comes down from the water.

While Western dragons choose the position of ‘Lord’, Eastern dragons are crowned as kings of the Jin tribe by possessing the Yeouiju.

The problem is that the Yeouiju that the soft-skinned crane took is half-baked and has consumed a lot of magical power.

The original plan was to strike a deal to refill it.

If things have come to this point, it seems like something is really messed up.

The soft-faced black crane opened its mouth heavily.

“I heard some information through the young dragon named Cheonhye-ryu. That he had already decided to join hands with the Primordial Beings. That they had decided to provide something that could replace the Yongsin’s Yeouiju.”

“……what?”

Jinhyuk’s pupils dilated rapidly.

What a substitute.

There’s no way that’s possible.

Something struck Jinhyeok like a wedge in his thoughts as he rolled his head.

No, there is one way.

But that was a method that the primordial beings could never know.

To exaggerate a little more, it would be an impossible method for anyone except ‘me’… .

“That’s all I heard. I decided there was no chance of conversation, so I ran away, but Teresa had already gone to them. To be honest, there was no way I could have gotten in there on my own.”

So I was waiting for support.

This was the end of the excuse of the soft-faced black crane.

Well, I understand to some extent.

Let’s take this into consideration and lower the level of punishment by about 0.1 level.

It’s time to save Teresa and show her how stupid the Jin people’s thinking is.

“Follow me. I’m going to rush in right away.”

“Yeah. No, huh? What, what did you just say?”

The black-crowned crane, who had been nodding reflexively, asked in surprise.

You want the two of us to go in there?

Even if it weren’t for Jinhyuk, he would end up like a well-cooked grilled lizard.

This is no joke. While I was not looking, Mujinryong’s magical power had grown beyond imagination.

I guess he must have put in a lot of effort to make up for the lack of a Yeouiju.

In fact, even though there was quite a distance, I felt an ominous atmosphere.

but.

Boom.

Jinhyuk cracked his knuckles.

“Well, no matter how scary that guy is, he’s not as scary as me, right?”

The Mujinryong is far away and this side is close.

Either just go along. Or get beaten up and dragged away.

You have two choices.

“Hahaha. My heart is pounding with excitement as I think about going back to my hometown. This is a return that is perfectly suited to my noble body.”

The black-faced spoonbill’s worries did not last long.

“However, even if the owner is strong, it would be a bit dangerous for the two of us. You may not know this, but that stronghold is a bit different from a normal stronghold.”

“I know.”

“huh?”

“I also know about the curse of flowing sand.”

A region with a unique characteristic among strongholds: the ability to move entire districts.

If anything, it could bury the intruders in the sand or blow them to a remote space on the 49th floor.

Using salt sand to restrict movement or create mirages was equally challenging.

But, you know.

Shh.

‘That’s exactly what I was hoping for.’

The characteristics of this stronghold and how to deal with the traitorous Jin tribe.

And to end the war on the entire 49th floor.

A way to deal with all the rabbits at once occurred to me.

⁕⁕⁕

Kwakwakwakwa!

A circular space created between 11 waterfalls with flowing sand.

There are elders of the Jin tribe, including Mujinryong.

“Ugh.”

There was Teresa, bound in chains.

Various devices specialized in consuming divine power made it impossible for Teresa to escape.

The aftermath of the previous battle with the Uma King also played a large role.

“Wow. That’s definitely awesome.”

Mujinryong looked at Teresa and let out an exclamation of admiration.

It is a powerful restraint that would have killed most Jin tribe members by sucking all their magic power out of them.

Yet Teresa’s eyes were still alive.

The endless magic and the mental strength that supports it.

Although he is a prisoner, he is someone who has no choice but to admit it.

That’s why.

“Do you think it’s right to handle it here and now?”

Mujinryong’s gaze glanced to the side.

In a place where everyone was composed of the Jin people, there were heterogeneous people mixed in.

“I know what you mean, but that’s not good. They say that woman is a very valuable bait. If we accidentally hurt her, we’ll all die.”

A tainted shoggus giggled.

The one who seeps in, ‘Musaldur’.

He was a kind of diplomat who had been entrusted with full authority by the primordial beings.

“You’re just using the enemy’s core force that you’ve finally captured as bait. It’s hard to gauge their intentions, but I understand. I’ll follow suit.”

Mujinryong reluctantly gave up his life.

Right then.

Kwaaaaang!

A huge explosion was heard near the outermost part of the waterfall.

You can see the salt crystals spraying out as they flow back up.

“Are you finally here?”

“Ki kik! I got caught.”

Mujinryong and Musaldur both looked at the place where magical power was running wild.
