Episode 290

[Riddle: Which one has four legs in the morning, two at noon, and three in the evening?] [

Quest: Hunt the monster that corresponds to the correct answer to the riddle.]

[Information: When hunting an incorrect monster The riddle will be updated to be more difficult.]

Aaah! I was amazed.

“this! Aren’t you a human?”

Lee Si-woo laughed at the pure Sakura answer.

“no. The correct answer is Shadow Spider. Some hunters also call it a nine-legged spider.”

“Huh, that’s right. Shadow Spider?”

“Shadow spiders use different feet depending on the time of day among their eight feet.”

Siwoo Lee pointed to the sky to give an example.

“In the morning when the sun is high and shadows are not easy, use the longest leg among the four bodies. It inflates its body to pressurize its prey, but it does not actually hunt.”

“i get it. Are you in the weakest state?”

“yes. Shadow Spiders grow stronger according to the length of their shadows. Mornings when the sun is high are the weakest.”

Did you study beforehand?

When Lee Siu casually recited difficult topics, Sakura asked in admiration.

“then! What about lunch?”

“It spreads its six legs, but only uses the short two feet when moving among them. Then it will be just the right height for shadows to form. And… in the evening, spread out two more to make eight.”

Most spiders have eight legs.

And the same goes for the Shadow Spider. However, the nine-legged spider had special powers and contained spoilers from its name.

“Hmm? But then it doesn’t have 9 feet. One is missing?”

It was natural for Sakura to ask this. Ishiu nodded.

“The other foot is just a metaphor. Even though it looks like a foot, it’s actually a special stinger of a shadow spider. It’s a poison needle that stabs the opponent’s shadow, not the opponent’s.”

After Siwoo Lee finished all the explanations, the tower updated the contents of the quest as if he was watching the current situation.

[Quest: Hunt the Shadow Spider.]

[Information: The riddle is updated to be more difficult when hunting non-shadow spider monsters.]

[Information 2: The last poison sting of the shadow spider will be released at night.]

“Siouya ! That was correct!”

“This level is basic…”

Wow!

Sakura’s skinship has become more active, probably because no one is watching.

“As expected, my husband~ He’s really smart~ He’s smart~”

Sakura, who suddenly embraced him, patted him on the head and treated him like a child. Lee Si-woo, whose face was reddened, said “Ugh” and averted his gaze.

“Okay… let’s go catch the shadow spider quickly. It’s a headache at night.”

* * *

Yoosung Shin.

Sumire.

Eunah Kim.

[Riddle: Which one has four legs in the morning, two at noon, and three in the evening?]

[Quest: Hunt the monster that corresponds to the correct answer to the riddle.]

[Information: Hunting non-correct monsters makes the riddle even more difficult. It will be updated with difficulty.]

“Is it a shadow spider?”

“It’s a shadow spider.”

“Ah, is it a shadow spider?”

The party who saw the hologram in front of the cave seemed to already know the correct answer, except for Kim Eun-ah.

It is also a matter of course that the content of the quest was recently updated. Shin Yoo-seong calmly brought a wooden stick and stood it on the floor.

“Look at the position of the sun. This is not the time when the Shadow Spiders are in full swing. We’ll have to go replace it.”

Shadow Spider is a level 3 boss.

At night, it had a level of danger comparable to that of a 4th grade boss. The spider’s attack aimed at the shadow, not the main body, was an advantageous combat method only for the shadow spider.

‘So the first goal is to replace a habitat.’

Shin Yooseong straightened up and looked around. This place seemed more like a tropical area than an ordinary mountain area.

“Seeing that there are many swamps around, I don’t think it’s a remote place.”

“Then I have to free the undead first!”

Watching Shin Yoo-seong and Sumi-re spit out things she had never learned, Kim Eun-ah asked the two with a dumbfounded face.

“This…is this what they taught you at school?”

I wasn’t as sharp in theory as Sumire, but Kim Eun-ah said, ‘I still do the basics!’ I had my own confidence.

“Oh, I’ve hunted shadow spiders before.”

“I’ve seen it in the map book! It was my hobby to read the dictionary by myself…”

However, Shin Yoo-seong, who tore and killed a shadow spider in real life, and Sumire, who read books in class all day without a friend, can’t keep up with the knowledge.

“Hmm….”

That said, it wasn’t that the fighting power of the party members was lacking in catching the Shadow Spider, which was only a third-class boss at most.

‘This…’

It seems that the information and combat power of this party was extremely excessive as the three of them gathered.

* * *

The Tower, an unknown space.

It is said that it gives unimaginable trials to hunters who climb the tower for their own purposes.

However, now it is only on the 11th floor. To give such an absurd ordeal?

[Riddle: What has four legs in the morning, two at noon, and three in the evening?]

“No way! This is the correct answer, isn’t it human-!?”

Let Amy, who was frightened, open her eyes wide and shout.

“Human…”

Adela glanced at Amy with expressionless eyes.

“What the heck…”

hesitantly hesitantly, as

Amy stepped back, Adela took the same stride.

“Could it be Adela me…”

If the right answer is to hunt humans, wouldn’t Adela already have a prey nearby?

“…Amy.”

Adela’s voice resounded in the small cave. Adela’s voice, clear and pure as if a jade ball were rolling, usually gave off a sense of mystery, but today, that sense of mystery worked as endless fear.

What is Adela thinking right now? Why is it coming closer to you with an expressionless face?

“Everyone must have a different way… Ya da da da da dat!”

Adela hurriedly reached out as Amy, terrified of what she had imagined, ran away.

“A spider web in my hair…”

However, catching Amy who runs away with all her might is not enough. Amy, who was running faster than it looked to the cave entrance, stopped suddenly.

Gummuck- Gumbuck-

Near the entrance to the cave, an unbelievably huge spider was waiting for Amy, spinning a web.

“Hehehe… How did you give me the starting place to clear it?”

If you don’t kill the spider, you can’t even get out of the cave.

[Hidden Quest has been activated.]

[Quest: Hunt the face holder of each city.]

Chizuzu-!

The face holder spewed a purple thread and aimed at Amy. The face support, which is called the king of spiders, is so toxic that even the spider webs it emits are full of poison.

Chew-!

However, the ice that rose from the ground like an awl pierced the spider’s web.

“Amy. Come behind me.”

Just as a mother bird protects her baby bird, let Adela reach out and protect her.

“Adela…”

Amy, who opened her eyes wide, looked up at Adela. Come to think of it, even though it turned into ice cream in an instant in the arena. Today’s Adela was a strong party member and team member.

If you can’t trust your party members in this rough and rugged unknown land, who will you trust?

Du-du-du-du-du-du-

du-du- The human face propped forward fiercely with eight legs and spewed venom from its mouth.

“Keuwueek-!”

Chiik-

Like a hot iron ball placed on ice, the poison melted Adela’s ice.

But that’s for a while.

“Drive it.”

Stretching out his hand toward the face.

“Winter snow.”

Let Adela murmur softly.

Whoaaah-!

The cave, which had been blocked up around it, had turned into a pure white field of snow in a blizzard. The snowfields were endless, neither the sun nor the moon rose, and I couldn’t even tell if this place was real or not.

Chwaaaa-

This is a miniature world that Adela realized with mana. A world that embodies the images of childhood wandering around Volterra, enduring the bitter cold in search of parents.

“Kieheek-”

It was a space of hell itself for a tropical spider, who is vulnerable to the cold.

“Chiik!”

Unable to bear it, she eventually rushed at Adela, the culprit behind all of this, but the spider’s long legs were at a disadvantage in the snow.

Puff-puff-

Adela murmured quietly again to the Face Holder, who was running at such a slow speed because her legs were digging into her eyes.

“Pierce.”

Wedge liquid!

Eight ice spears rushing towards Adela’s horse, each aiming for the face holder’s leg.

Papababak!

“Kieek-!”

As the face supporter whose leg had been pierced screamed and struggled in pain, Adela unconsciously made a pale face.

At least for this moment, wouldn’t emotions be unnecessary? It was absolutely impossible to sympathize with the pain of the monsters trying to devour themselves and their party members.

‘What can I do? It just puts an end to the pain quickly.’

With Adela’s raised index finger.

The long ice spear benevolently pierced the faceplate.

grasp!

Adela asked Amy after the situation was over with purple bodily fluids scattered everywhere, whether it was poison or blood.

“…Are you okay. Amy?”

Even in such an urgent situation, seeing Adela worrying about her own safety, Amy finally found out.

‘Adela…’

Adela hadn’t changed. The ice queen, who was infinitely cold towards others, had an infinitely warm heart from the beginning.

“I was wrong-! Misunderstanding you!”

I just didn’t know that warm heart.
