The armor ant’s forelimbs stretched farther than expected.

“Ugh!”

The tip of the ant’s leg brushed Dohyun’s cheek.

It was as if a blunt weapon was being wielded.

Dohyun let out a moan without realizing it.

He almost had his head smashed.

Cold sweat ran down his back.

The 96% chance of that unfortunate death was triggered this time.

When there were gunmen, I thought it was better to be quiet, but then I guess I was lucky.

After that, the attack of the armor ants continued, and at first glance, it seemed that Do-hyeon was at a disadvantage.

“done!”

Suddenly, Dohyun smiled with a smile of conversion.

This is because the armored ant, which is full of drugs, is frantic about attacking Do-hyeon and flies away from his egg.

Do-hyeon spurted his floor and blew his body with the maximum force he could exert.

Cookie hey profit!

If the armored ant could speak to humans, he would probably have missed it.

Do-hyeon easily overcame the armored ant and headed for his egg.

It was the moment when Dohyun grabbed his egg.

The secret of the egg, which the armor ant has loved so much, has been revealed.

queen ant eggs.

It was a clue to the large-scale quest of dungeons and monsters.

The sinkhole that occurred in Incheon Metropolitan City was also caused by this egg absorbing the energy of the earth.

People will not even be able to imagine what is going on under their feet.

To that extent, the movement of the swarm was careful and difficult to detect.

Initially, ants were monsters that were out of the interest of players.

The reason why goblins are in the spotlight as a dungeon for beginners is because of the large-scale quests in the past were related to goblins, so a lot of research was done.

Various methods of attacking goblins have been known, and many players have gone out to hunt goblins.

But the ants did not.

It was a difficult individual to hunt alone, just like Do-hyeon suffered a hard time on Mt. Gaemi.

Ants were also suitable for beginners, but beginners preferred goblins.

However, it was not something that could appeal to a player with a medium level.

At that point, it was more profitable to sell the by-products of other monsters than ants.

So, no one had ever noticed that the ants were related to the large-scale quests of dungeons and monsters.

Of course, some extravagant people may have figured it out.

However, that was only speculation and speculation.

None of them would have been able to reach the core of a large-scale quest in such a short time as Dohyeon.

‘The chance is now!’

Do-hyeon ripped off the queen ant’s egg, which is connected to the bizarre tentacles.

He had to leave quickly before the armored ant returned.

Chewy profit!

When Dohyun plucked the queen ant’s egg from its tentacles.

The armor ant appeared late and swung its sharp legs.

Boo!

But the battle was almost over.

There was no way that the armored ant, which had repeatedly failed to attack, would suddenly break her body.

“I’m sorry.”

Dohyeon lightly avoided the attack with a relaxed face like a victor.

And he leisurely left the place, leaving behind the armored ants that rushed to him as if he was going to make a life-and-death decision.

*

As we got out of the dark tunnel, a bright light poured down.

Dohyun frowned at his dazzling light.

But his face brightened at the system message of good news.

“The hard work is worth it.”

The level also rose, and he even got a reward for clearing the dungeon.

The reward paid was 5 B-class magic stones.

Dohyun was proud to see the magic stones gathered in the inventory.

In order to continue using the skill ‘Papyrus of the Original’, no matter how many magic stones there were, it was not enough.

As the number of dolls continued to increase, the amount of magic consumed was no joke.

There was a magic stone supplied by the Frostfoot Legion.

However, the Frostfoot Legion was not fully revived yet, and there was a limit to the amount it could supply.All.

Therefore, it was best to collect thrifty while breaking the quest like this.

“Hey, I’m tired.”

When the battle was over, a feeling of fatigue came over his body.

He didn’t feel it when he was fighting.

Dohyun took a trembling step forward.

Jiying.

Then the smartphone in his arms rang.

– I called because I have something to report.

It was Seon Woo-hyuk.

“I’m pretty tired right now, can’t we listen to it next time?”

– This is news of a fight for an hourly wage.

The voice over the smartphone was quite urgent.

Seon Woo-hyuk has been busy with his days after ascending to the position of monarch of the Frostbale Corps.

In the meantime, he faithfully became Do-hyun’s hands and feet and handled various requests.

This task is probably also related to him.

It seemed like I should have listened to what he was saying.

“Tell me.”

– We succeeded in finding the ant nest you mentioned. It was also easy to select candidate sites because it was in a very characteristic place.

ant spawning grounds.

Do-hyeon’s eyes, which were tired of fatigue, regained their light.

As long as the queen ant’s eggs were killed, it was a dungeon that had to be discovered first of all.

– But there was a bit of a setback.

“why? Is there any problem?”

-I found a dungeon, but it was inaccessible. Above all, it seems that it will be difficult to secretly approach the place as it is a popular place.

“Where is it?”

– This is Gangnam.

Up to this point, Dohyun knew.

I remember setting up the ant spawning grounds in Gangnam.

However, Seon Woo-hyuk’s reaction was strange.

Even in Gangnam, there are few people at night.

There will be occasional opportunities to sneak in.

But what makes it difficult to access?

– It’s actually Gangnam Station.

Dohyun spit out abusive language without realizing it.

“… crazy.”

*

It was a notification delivered to all players in Korea.

massive quests.

What the system notification was pointing to was very clear.

A large-scale quest was going on without them knowing, and it meant that someone was secretly solving it.

The players shouted in astonishment.

“Who is it? Who the hell discovered the massive quest?”

“Isn’t it possible that the Legion and Sega didn’t even know about this?”

It wasn’t just the players who were shocked.

Officials of the Legion and Sega were also furious at the fact that a large-scale quest was being carried out exclusively in the hands of someone without their knowledge.

“Are you going to work like this?! Are you not paying enough for your meals? Does it make sense to not have a single report while things are going like this?”

A large-scale quest was discovered and proceeded without a sound rumor.

Legion and Sega were surprised.

In the original story, Lee Jung-ho discovers a clue about a large-scale quest and spreads word of mouth in the process of delivering it to Park Yoo-myeong.

And information about large-scale quests circulated, and a dungeon attack team was formed.

This process takes a considerable amount of time.

However, all these flows were blocked by one Dohyeon.

The swarm of ants was killed by Do-hyeon, and the armor ants were indignant at the intruder.

The armor ant killed Jeong-ho Lee as its target.

The information channel leading to Park Yoo-myeong was cut off.

So, there was no way that a large-scale quest could be investigated.

To the other factions, this large-scale quest was literally like springing up from the ground.

-Gigantic sinkhole created in Incheon Metropolitan City, disappearing

-Citizens of Incheon, who were trembling with anxiety due to a huge sinkhole, sleep only tonight

-The whereabouts of a large-scale quest lost in the middle of nowhere

While the Legion and Sega were in chaos, the press made a special mention about the large-scale quest.

And people’s comments flooded the portal news section.

– Where did you do this?

– That’s great. The corps and sega called me all drank water hahahahahahaha-Information analysts are showing their joints here as well.

-I don’t think there will be any left knee.

There were all kinds of rumors and speculation.

But all of that was just a rumor.

None of them were correct guesses.

Who on earth found the clue to the large-scale quest?

Time was passing endlessly without revealing its identity.

*

Meanwhile, in the chaotic situation, Mucheonse also could not stand still.

“Who do you think it was?”

Mucheonse’s office.

Only the sound of someone tapping the desk with their fingers reverberated in the quiet office.

It was Lee Cheol-jun, the head of the Mucheonse family.

He was sitting in a comfortable chair and burying his body in his boredom.

However, as much as the two eyes were the eyes of a lion.

If it were others, they would have been overwhelmed by those eyes.

However, the chief of staff who assists Cheol-Jun Lee in the local area did not blink an eye.

“There has been no significant trend in other factions.”

“You want to play a game with me? Your guys didn’t find it, so isn’t it obvious?”

“sorry.”

The chief of staff bowed his head and apologized.

It was Lee Cheol-jun’s words.

He was hit in the head like this because he could not capture any movement from other forces in advance.

There was no way that he could read the opponent who had made up his mind and hid his hand.

It was a rare report.

“So, what’s next?”

“There is not much information about the faction that first caught the clue of the large-scale quest. However, I found information about the large-scale quest.”

“continue.”

“We are using all of Sega’s capabilities to search dungeons related to ants. Some of that was income.”

The secretary-general presented the prepared materials.

“Even though it is said that the first large-scale quest was carried out by an unidentified force, we can say with certainty that we came first for this time.”

It was a pretty confident conversation.

Lee Cheol-jun raised his eyes and looked at the chief of staff.

“We have found a dungeon believed to be the core of the next large-scale quest.”

“Now I can hear you. Where is it?”

“It is Gangnam Station on Subway Line 2. We didn’t just rely on the information our players had gathered, we also did a multi-faceted review.”

At that time, Lee Cheol-jun straightened his back.

And I looked at the materials that the chief of staff had provided.

“Did the intelligence analysis team and the exploration team both come to the same conclusion?”

“Yes, it is.”

Cheol-jun Lee, who was carefully examining his data, smiled.

He was quite satisfied.

Then he casually tossed his material onto the desk.

“Good work.”

“thank you.”

The chief of staff sighed inwardly.

At that time, Cheol-Jun Lee asked a sudden question.
