Hoarding in Hell Novel

Chapter 46 It becomes delicious

Hyunmoo was a bit perplexed when Lenian asked a random question.

‘By the way, Lenian is a mosquito… … seems to be some kind of He was even born from mosquito eggs. So does he feel bad about catching mosquitoes like this?’

Lenny Ann reached out for the mosquitoes piled up on the floor. It caught my heart as if it was trying to stroke a corpse.

But Lennie Ann picked up the mosquito corpse, held it in his hands, and began to chew on it.

“What are you doing to lure mosquitoes? Not even a fairy?”

“…not because I’m hungry.”

“Hungry? Would you like to eat?”

Lenian ripped off the mosquito wing, but Hyunmoo humbly declined.

I thought that Lenian eating mosquitoes was also a type of cognate, but it was difficult to compare Lenian with any other race in the first place.

“So, if you don’t use it as a lunch box, why do you keep mosquitoes in it?”

“I thought it might be useful to confuse the enemy.”

Hyunmoo gave instructions to the mosquitoes hovering around him with his fingertips. Mosquitoes immediately followed without ego as they lacked a level compared to Hyunmoo. Mosquitoes quickly caught on to the targeted broken street lamp.

“Mosquitoes the size of needles are putting needles all over your body, but there are probably not many people who can stand sane.”

From what I had experienced in Cheonggye Dungeon with Kirson, it seemed that any opponent could be dealt with only with Hell Mosquito. No, I was convinced that I could break the Cheonggye dungeon even with these 20 mosquitoes.

“It is also an advantage that it has a low value as a life. You can create it any number of times, and it is not wasted even if you consume it.”

“These kids look hungry. What about food?”

“Haha, it’s such a luxury to feed a slave…”

Lenian threw unexpected words to Hyunmoo, who never thought of mosquitoes as a consumable item and never on his side. Hyunmoo, equipped with a great boss mind, tried to laugh at him, but at that moment, something struck his mind. Of course, it was not a sound and good idea.

‘How long can I last if I give these guys my blood?’

I can’t do such a shameful thing to give away my blood for free.

However, if mosquitoes can eat Hyunmoo’s blood, they can transmit poisonous blood without sticking a knife themselves. That in itself would be a lethal assassin.

Hyunmoo was startled by the unexpected. What if a mosquito could survive by eating its own blood? And what if he keeps that poisonous blood and spreads it from one person to another? A terrible plague could be born, at least for opponents with poison blood.

Naturally, Hyunmoo was delighted with the possibility.

‘If this is the case, it works 100% in reality.’

This is, of course, something to be dealt with with extreme caution. The good news is that Hyunmoo’s toxic blood is instantaneous.

It is activated immediately with no incubation period, and volatilizes within a short time. We have already checked this point. Because Park Hwi-so, who had been covered in poison the other day, is still alive.

In other words, if Hyunmoo didn’t want him to, he wouldn’t turn into a major plague.

“Okay. If you’re hungry, I’ll give you some blood.”

Hyunmoo stretched out his arm, as if he had never expected Lenny Ahn to have such a kind heart. He soon followed his will and rushed to his arm.The sight of twenty mosquitoes clinging to his arm was not something he wanted to pay attention to. But Hyunmoo took out Admiral Ren’s one-piece glasses.

[Hell Mosquito (LV 3)][Attack: Low, Speed: Low, Durability: Low][Special Abilities: Vampire, Lesser Poison Resistance, Loud flapping wings.][Note: The starving star, a mosquito that lives at the bottom of Yogulem’s cauldron. There’s nothing special about it other than that it’s terribly annoying and terribly noisy.]

Admiral Ren’s one-piece glasses worked even on monsters. Hyunmoo paid attention to the low-grade poison tolerance among them. Perhaps because of this, mosquitoes were relatively well resistant to poisons compared to goblins.

But after a while, a few mosquitoes with red, swollen stomachs fell to the floor.

expected it Because poison is pretty strong. There will be some dropout rate.

But that was also for a while. All twenty mosquitoes died with bloated stomachs.

In needlessly deadly poison, Hyunmoo contorted her face. But Lenian didn’t seem like that.

“Ah- I’m sorry.”

Lenian smiled and threw the mosquito corpse, which was full of Hyunmoo’s blood, into his mouth. was this intended Hyunmoo could not help but admire the ruthless appearance of his chills, and he could not help but admire his despicable behavior.

However, the poisonous mosquito that Lenian suggested was too attractive to give up. Hyunmoo sighed and turned his head.

Among goblins, there are mutants like Kirson. There is no law that there will be none among mosquitoes. There are a lot of mosquitoes anyway, so at least one of them might survive.

For a while, it seemed that Lenian’s snacks would increase.

[The starving star, Yogulem, is watching you.]

***

“If it was for that purpose in the first place, I should have chosen from among those who didn’t die of poison.”

Advice from Renian stopped Hyunmoo before his condition, which he had made good after he died and came back to life, deteriorated with anemia.

Hyunmoo paused, but instead of admitting he was stupid, he thought of his excuse.

“If it was a guy who died from my poison and came back to life, wouldn’t he have developed tolerance?”

“Then we have to bring the dead back to life and repeat.”

Just like Hyunmoo did.

Lennie Ann nodded his head and picked up the bloated mosquito in his blood. It was one of the last mosquito cadavers in the family made by Hyunmoo. Hyunmoo quickly took it away. Lenny Ann quickly flapped his wings in protest.

“Eating is not stealing, butler!”

“I’m getting fat.”

Hyunmoo ignored Lenian and brought the dead mosquito back to life with his family skill. Mosquito twitched as it absorbed Hyunmoo’s mana and then started flapping its wings again.

It looked like it would be difficult to fly because of the bloated belly. In this state, eating blood seemed meaningless.

“Spit up.”

Hyunmoo ordered to pour blood on the floor. Poisonous blood gushed out again through the mosquito’s snout.

Mosquitoes that spit blood, not pull blood. Ironically, this proves that poisonous mosquitoes are possible.

“Okay. Now let’s drink again…”

Hyunmoo, who was about to donate blood, stopped when he saw mosquitoes flying.

‘Are you alive?’

Mosquito had Hyunmoo’s poison blood from the moment he was first saved. If there is no resistance, it is normal that he must die again in that state. Hyunmoo hastily put on Admiral Ren’s one-piece glasses.

[Hell Mosquito (LV 3)][Attack: Low, Speed: Lowest, Durability: Lowest][Special Abilities: Vampire, Intermediate Poison Resistance, Loud flapping wings. bloodshed]

To reduce mana consumption, trivial explanations were omitted. Hyunmoo confirmed that Hell Mosquito’s stats increased and special abilities were added.

‘Attack has risen to a lower level, intermediate poison resistance, and the ability to bleed?’

Of course, the speed dropped to the lowest. But the fact that it was possible to hold poison was encouraging.

‘Is this going to happen just by bringing the dead back to life?’

Although the death-and-survival situation is certainly unusual, I had no idea that such a rapid improvement would be possible.

But Hyunmoo soon calmed down. He hasn’t made any breakthroughs. The slower the mosquito, the easier it is to get hit.

Besides, he lacks intelligence, so he can only control it where he can see it.

‘still… … I can’t help but look forward to it.’

If the opponent is not resistant to poison, it means that you can fight with some kind of debuff on it.

Hyunmoo was steadily moving up the Hell’s food chain.

***

And finally the ninth day. shelter.

Hyunmoo was preparing for a quest that would occur slowly after completing his spread in reality. For the past few days, he’s focused on getting as strong as possible, but at the same time looking for information about rank ups.

But he didn’t know Lenny Ann, and he couldn’t find any relevant information.

‘It would be nice to find some clues in this quest.’

[Quest occurs!][The quest ‘Bottom of the Pyramid’ begins.][There are those who pursue you.][Survive them for 48 hours.]

The quest has begun.

As soon as Hyunmoo heard the quest conditions, he immediately noticed that it was different from the quests up to this point.

Up to this point, he didn’t care whether he died or not until the quest was accomplished. But what about surviving 48 hours? Hyunmoo wondered if it would end there if we lost here.

‘No, if you think about the first quest, the probability of starting over from the beginning is high.’

If so, is it a rehash of the first quest? It’s too sloppy to see. It was easy enough to survive for a few days now. Hyunmoo noted that there were pursuers. First of all, we had to find out their identities.

Then, the sound of the narrator was heard.

[The starving star, Yogulem, is watching you.][The starving star, Yogulem, wants to grant you a trial.][If you accept the ordeal, the reward will be strengthened instead of increasing the difficulty.]

“……test?”

This is another condition I’m hearing for the first time. Lately, I’ve been wanting Yogulem to keep an eye on me. But what about this new type of intervention?

It was a new intervention following the Whispering Star and the Broken Star. Hyunmoo thought about how to take this.

Instead of increasing the difficulty, the reward is strengthened. Difficulty: Hell’s difficulty is already insane. Hyunmoo never died and never broke a quest.

But are you going to raise the difficulty there? A quest that must be completed without dying?

‘No, but that might be the reason why you have to accept the ordeal.’

After all, if the difficulty is the most difficult, there is nothing that can not be done even if it is higher. Until now, I have broken the quest by bumping into it. Accepting the ordeal didn’t seem to change anything. Besides, didn’t you prepare hard this time?

Legendary items, as well as skills and strength have been strengthened. Confidence came naturally.

‘Maybe it will give you a level up or a clue about your level up.’

What Hyunmoo was most thirsty for was this, a rating upgrade. Hyunmoo, who does not intend to stay at level 20 for one star, had to find a way to somehow raise the rating.

Hyunmoo hesitated before answering.

“I will accept it.”

[Wailing Star, Verde, is watching you.][The Broken Star, Ghaul is watching you.][Moonstril, whispering star, is watching you.][The conquering star, Ardan, is watching you.][August, the star of monsters, is watching you.][The writhing star, Ergunan, is watching you.]

The reaction came back faster than the narrator. Hyunmoo was bewildered. He hadn’t noticed this since he first discovered the stellar fragment. Besides, he had a star he saw for the first time.

[Quest occurs!][The quest ‘Bottom of the Cauldron’ begins.][The vassals of Yogulem pursue you.][Survive for 48 hours.][Curse: Taste is given.][It becomes delicious while the curse is in place.]

Hyunmoo muttered only one word.

“What?”
