MTL - Solo Leveling (Only I Level Up)-Chapter 3

Seong Jin-Woo's cheeks became hot as Xiaoxi's appearance in school uniform came to mind.

Before Cheng Jin-Woo could reply, Xiaoxi puffed up her cheeks angrily.

"What...? Don't you want to have dinner with me?"

As soon as the voice fell, there was a sudden commotion in front of the team.

"We found it!"

"This is where the boss is!"

Cheng Jinyu and Xiaoxi also subconsciously turned their heads to look forward.

A huge door blocked their way.

The hunters immediately surrounded him.

"Why is there a door at the end of the cave?"

"Have we met before?"

"Will this... be dangerous?"

The hunters talked in surprise and fear.

They were uneasy. After all, this is a matter related to their wealth and life, so they have to be careful, more careful.

However, once people are overly cautious, they are likely to lose the golden opportunity.

Song Zhiguo estimated that this was the case now.

"We came here with great difficulty, are you going to return empty-handed?"

Song Zhiguo put his hand on the door.

"If you guys want to give up, go ahead. Even if it's just me, I'm going to keep going."

Song Zhiguo is a C-level hunter with ten years of experience.

If it weren't for his age, with his rich experience and skills, he could definitely enter a large guild.

Seeing Song Zhiguo's firm and confident attitude, the uneasiness of others also eased a lot.

"anyway......"

Some hunters recall rumors of double dungeons.

"I heard that there are countless treasures hidden in the double dungeon."

"Yes, I heard that once a small guild discovered a double dungeon, it became a large guild overnight."

"Since they are all monsters in the same dungeon, no matter where they are, there will not be too much difference in level, so it shouldn't be too difficult to hunt this boss..."

What if, as the rumors say, there are countless treasures in the double dungeon, and the monsters behind the door are only D or E rank?

'I can't let that old man swallow all the treasures alone. '

'Damn it, no way. '

‘The wife’s postpartum care center, the older son’s school fees, and this month’s rent…’

The hunters finally agreed.

Seong Jin-Woo also made a decision.

'I can't go back with just one E-grade spar. At least one D-level monster must be killed, and at the worst, one more E-level monster should be caught. '

It doesn't have to be Warcraft either.

'If it's a treasure...'

The treasures or loot obtained in the dungeon are usually shared equally among all members participating in the team battle.

The spar of Warcraft can only be obtained by hunters.

‘If you can do something big today, then the situation at home can be temporarily improved a lot. '

Cheng Jin-Woo swallowed nervously.

Xiaoxi looked at his firm expression and asked.

"Will a person who treats hunters as a hobby have such an expression?"

Cheng Jin-Woo shrugged.

"Nowadays, who would risk his life at work? But if it's for personal hobby, it's not sure."

"......Ok?"

Xiaoxi was speechless.

At this moment, Song Zhiguo began to forcefully push the door open.

"Uh huh!"

I don't know what mechanism is installed on the huge stone gate, but it can be easily pushed open by an old man.

boom!

The door was fully opened, allowing a view of the interior.

The hunters scrambled to rush in.

"Let's go in too."

Cheng Jin-Woo was worried that he would fall behind others, so he grabbed Xiaoxi's hand and walked forward.

"what......"

Xiaoxi blushed slightly, and followed behind Cheng Jin-Woo.

***

As soon as the hunters entered the door, the torches hanging on the wall automatically ignited the flames.

The door became extremely bright.

"What the hell? The torch started to burn by itself?"

"This is the first time I've seen a dungeon like this."

"Something feels... not quite right."

Hunters carefully observe the surrounding environment.

The space inside the door is like an ancient temple.

Buried as if buried for ages, it was a dark and dank temple; moss and weeds spread like fur moss on the floors, walls and ceiling.

Seeing this, several hunters retreated immediately, their bodies trembling slightly.

"Don't you think it's a bit weird here?"

"There is always a feeling of being stared at by something!"

Three or four powerful hunters continued to move forward regardless of the frightened people behind the team.

"Tsk! Don't say those depressing words, understand?"

"Let's have a quick fight and then go home."

The space inside the door is unusually wide.

Huge domes hang over people's heads.

The space here is about as large as several Capital Olympus stadiums put together, maybe even bigger than that.

However, it inexplicably gives people a sense of suffocation.

The reason is very obvious.

"That... that is..."

"Wouldn't that **** thing be the BOSS?"

In the deepest part of the place, a colossus beyond imagination sat on a throne as large as itself.

The colossus is nothing but a giant stone god!

"My goodness!"

"Wow!"

The hunters couldn't help being amazed.

The first thing that popped into Cheng Jin-Woo's mind was the Statue of Liberty in New York. If the statue of the goddess is sitting on a chair, will it be the same size?

However, the Statue of Liberty is a female statue, and here is a male statue.

'This idol may be bigger...'

In front of the statue, the hunters swallowed nervously. I'm afraid this huge statue is the ultimate boss in this dungeon.

'...'

Fortunately, the idol remained motionless.

"Hoooo..."

Even Song Zhiguo let out a long sigh of relief.

"Okay, everyone, let's go."

The relieved hunters dispersed and began to search nearby.

"It seems that there are no monsters here?"

"I think so."

"Don't talk about Warcraft, I haven't even seen a bug."

Although the space where the statue is located is large, the internal structure is very simple. There are countless torches hanging on the wall; beside the wall, there are many stone statues slightly taller than people standing quietly.

"It's so beautiful!"

"Like a work of art!"

The stone statues standing by the wall are of different shapes.

Each stone statue holds a different object. Some hold weapons, some books, some musical instruments, and some even hold torches.

"It's like..."

"Looks like a statue in a holy temple."

Song Zhiguo was the first to say what Wang Jianshe wanted to say.

Song Zhiguo looked at his feet, as if he had discovered something.

"Huh? This...is it a magic circle?"

In the center of the temple is a magic circle that has never been seen before.

at that time.

"Uncle Zhiguo! There seems to be something written here. Come and take a look!"

A hunter shouted when he found a distinctive stone statue in a corner.

Song Zhiguo, who was observing the magic circle, stood up and walked towards the stone statue.

The other hunters also gathered around the stone statue.

What makes this stone statue different is that it has a pair of wings and a stone slab in its hand.

The inscriptions carved on this slab attracted the attention of hunters.

Song Zhiguo glanced at the stone slab and said to himself.

"It's a rune."

Runes.

This kind of writing does not exist on the earth, and is unique to the world of the dungeon. And only hunters who have awakened their magical abilities can understand this kind of writing.

"Laws of the Cathenon."
