Rainy World (3)
The giant ant’s nest.
Knock. Again,
Deep crypt.
Water was pooling and flowing inside.
Looking up at the water droplets dripping from the ceiling, they stepped down.
Hwareuk!
Entering the pitch black darkness, Winter focused his mind for a moment.
Then, several bright blue flames appeared around Winter.
It was a low-level luminous magic called ‘goblin fire’.
“Wow.”
Yui and Yumi approached the demon fire as if they were curious.
After carefully touching it with my finger a few times, I realized that it was not hot and touched it carelessly.
That behavior, as if a cat was playing.
Soon the goblin’s fire went out with a peek-, sound.
[…]
Winter’s eyes narrowed at that figure.
He let out a short sigh and warned.
[Arr.]
‘Stop it. It’s a warning.’
“Hmm?”
But soon, Yui and Yumi, who pretended not to notice and kept their eyes on each other, seemed to have assumed that if winter didn’t look at them, they wouldn’t know.
He was afraid to turn his head forward again, but this time he touched the goblin fire with his hand enough to make a loud noise.
In the end, the winter that couldn’t hold on left the goblin’s fire in front of his sight.
I had to put it behind me, because it was only going to fade from the pranks of his two sisters.
Winter and his mother, Yuhua Lin, stood in front of the ranks and entered the dark crypt.
Yuhua Lin sniffed her stretched nose and smelled it.
She didn’t let her guard down.
Although it is certain that this is the Giant Ant’s nest.
That’s because it wasn’t a factor that would let you off guard.
So, how much further did you go?
Soon Winter discovered a very large common area.
Sure.
It was her mother, Yuhua Lin, who clenched her fists for a moment, her slender arms in a battle stance.
Soon she released her fists and released her stance.
It was because they knew that there were no life forms left in this area.
This was an empty realm that had already lost its owner a long time ago.
‘Oh…’
His eyes widened slightly.
‘As expected.’
Looking at this empty, wide common area where only the dried up ant shells exist.
He was sure.
‘It’s only here.’
An empty area that has lost its owner.
This place where the ants once lived was the only point Winter could think of.
* * * *
Shoot!
It was raining in the afternoon.
Jilgung. Jilggung.
Winter was in full swing eating the raw meat of the Imoogi.
‘Emm…’
But really.
Winter Not only he, but also the other werewolves who were engrossed in predation, didn’t look so good.
The reason was simple.
It was because the taste was not to their liking.
‘The meat is tough, but what is this fishy smell? It’s particularly fishy.’
These snakes.
It seemed to be a creature that was not as clean as I thought.
The taste of the meat is a bit sloppy, and most of all-.
[Kiik?! Key profit-.]
Like the existence of a species of small insect that hides under the scales and runs away screaming in surprise at the action of Winter, which soon plucks off the scales.
Winter’s eyes narrowed, and soon he stared at an insect-species monster that fled far away.
‘…Anyway, it’s a parasite, that one.’
Two long antennae on a green, blunt body.
Even the black dot-like eyes that look like they are pinned together.
Even if someone unfamiliar saw it, it was clear that it was a parasite, and it was not uncommon for it to be hidden in several places under the scales of the Imoogi.
Of course, even if those guys pop out from time to time in the midst of predation.
Most of the werewolves just frowned and expressed their displeasure for a while.
They didn’t feel the need to pursue them as they ran away screaming in terror.
…Anyway.
My appetite was even worse because of those parasites who hide under the scales and scream and run away in the yard, which is already not good enough.
‘Ah.’
Then suddenly.
One thought came to mind.
Kulleong…
For some reason, Winter shot the created elemental power like an arrow at the parasite that had already fled far away.
A blow. It was a clean hit.
Perhaps it’s because it’s attribute power has reached a high level now, so it’s a perfect attack.
‘Where…’
Soon he was skewered, staring intently at the parasite being drawn toward him.
In the eyes of an unusual winter observer staring at that insignificant creature, the parasite.
From noble mtl dot com
[…?]
“Huh?”
A few werewolves who were concentrating on predation by the side also looked back at him with puzzled eyes.
[…]
Despite the suspicious gazes of those people.
After staring at the parasite in silence for a while, Winter suddenly put it into his mouth without anyone stopping him.
“Hey!”
Surprise at that appearance, Yui immediately covered her eyes with her hands.
Yumi couldn’t stand it at all and slammed her face into the grass.
“Haaang?!”
Even Yuhwarin’s mother.
Even when she saw it with her own eyes, she was startled and jumped up from her seat and ran quickly.
She held Winter upside down and started slapping him on the back.
“Ah!”
The appearance is similar, even right away, ‘Spit it out! Hurry up!’
[Collock! Coke!]
But, unfortunately, in winter.
Despite Yuhua Lin’s strong gesture to pat her on the back, she finally chewed it up and swallowed it down her throat.
Gulp.
It wasn’t until I heard that sound.
“…Ah.”
Yuhua Lin, the mother, meekly put the winter in her place.
“Huh-.”
But even so, it wasn’t over.
She began to stare at the winter with her rather disapproving eyes.
The fact that even the lips protruded was quite disapproving this time.
[…]
Even as winter, I didn’t have much to say, so I just looked away.
Of course, winter had to have its own reasons.
It was not something that could be explained even to Yuhwarin, her mother.
‘Well, I can understand my mother’s gaze like this.’
If you think about it.
It was right to refrain from wrong things, unfamiliar things and actions in this land as much as possible.
You don’t know what might be dangerous, and you blindly eat whatever you can get your hands on.
For something like this to happen in the wild was not quite right.
Moreover, if the meat was already full, there was even this gigantic monster, the Imoogi, right in front of you.
So from the perspective of those werewolves.
Winter’s actions were no different from the realm of instinct and should be avoided, accompanied by danger.
Of course, as a player, Winter, this was the right thing to do.
‘Where shall we go? Attribute shop window.’
At his call, a talent shop window appeared in front of me.
ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ

ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ
What Winter could see was a list of countless monsters he had hunted and ate.
Sometimes, there were also cases where they preyed on monsters of the same species.
Maybe it was because they had been preying on new species from time to time.
‘Oh?’
Winter is among the list of shop windows that came to mind.
Looking at the newly increased attribute located at the bottom, his eyes shone.
‘It’s been a while since I’ve come up with something that looks useful, right?’
The characteristics of the parasite Paratoxin Latos.
Sense the vitality.
It was a sensory organ that somehow seemed useful.
Moreover, the price was only 1700 points, so there was nothing to be burdened with. It looked different from the Imoogi’s previous landmine characteristics.
First of all, let’s tap the extraction characteristic window of the parasite he just ate with his paw.
A message popped up in front of him, [Would you like to purchase?].
Let’s answer yes.
Sureuk.
Soon, long antennae grew on Winter’s head.
“…Eh, huh?”
Mother Yuhua Lin blinked her eyes in embarrassment.
Paratoxin Latos, the parasite monster.
A parasite-type monster the size of a forearm.
Has the characteristic of prolonging life by penetrating into the crevices of some large monsters. They live only in clean and hygienic environments.
LMAOO, winter is like a baby eating anything he can find, well technically he is still a child
