BXBX NOVEL Chapter 109: Hellish Chicken Run
Chapter 109: Hellish Chicken Run
As soon as man and wolf entered the dungeon, they instantly noticed how heavy the air was.
[Entered Dimensional Dungeon Chicken Trial Palace!]
[Difficulty = Hellish!]
The whole place was softly pulsating red, the red of danger, the same red the exploding chickens had shown before. But then the two realized with horror that they too were glowing!
Jack could imagine the countdown till their death. It went Tick-tock, Tick-Tock! Without hesitating, he darted forward.
The Normal and Hard difficulties had consisted of 4 challenges:
1. Chicken Parkour
2. Wack-A-Chicken!
3. Dodge Feather
4. Chicken Puzzle.
As for Hellish?! It was truly Hell-Fucking-Lish! It combined them all into one trial of doom!
Heck, this made that one Americans and Ninjas show seem like a walk in the park. Everything was out to get them!
There were so many layers to that one challenge that it became so damn ridiculous!
1. Picture complex 3D parkour maneuvers hard to accomplish.
2. Add a timer since you\'ve been turned into a living bomb. One now needed to reach specific checkpoints before time ran out.
3. Add Chickens popping out of the walls and floor that need to be promptly whacked. Miss one, and you fall.
4. Furthermore, add one sniper chicken at the top throwing deadly feathers at you!
What do you get? Freaking PTSD!
Is that a Cluck?! NO! Make it stop! Before long, any challenger would inevitably turn into a broken mess utterly terrified of chickens— or that\'s what should have happened.
Jack experienced true horror. He kept perishing as he began softly humming: "Hello darkness my old~" dying instantly afterward, over and over again. Heck, he was dying even more often than that one famous silver-haired elf Simp.

Heck, the last one could have warranted a movie. Chicken Sniper, The most lethal sniper in the Chicken history [12.25.14]
Even after so many deaths, Jack and Moon Moon weren\'t despairing. No, instead, they were akin to volcanoes about to send their hot creamy lava on everything and everyone around!
"Woo!" (Outraged!)
These damn chickens were so annoying! What kind of grudge did they have against them?! They were attacking from all sides! Also, that red light was the worst! Also, also, it would show them its wolfish power!!
"Woo!" (Fighting Spirit!)
"You\'re right. We gotta show them their place! Will mere chickens defeat us? Hell no! Tonight we\'re feasting their soft flesh!"
"Woo!" (War Cry!)
After such a powerful speech, everything would obviously go well!— Nope, they died some more. But a few tries later, they finally managed to reach the room\'s exit. They stood proudly, gazing at the paltry poultry, now below them!
"You thought you could stop us?! You were wrong, you damn chicks! It only took us 54 tries too!" Jack bellowed loudly.
"Woo!" (Victorious!)
They had shown the chickens who was boss! The little wolf glanced at its amazing master nearby. Pride and warmth filled its little heart; they had overcome another obstacle together!
In front of them, there was a chicken statue, one that appeared to be fiery red as it glowed in an otherworldly red light giving it a celestial aura.
1. In Normal, that statue had spawned.
2. In Hard, it had opened its eyes and its wings.
3. In Hellish, it now looked like a divine chicken.
Jack couldn\'t help but mumble upon seeing this:
"This statue has just gone from level 1 crook to level 100 mafia boss. All it took was two more difficulties."
Moon Moon was observing it with eyes shimmering with awe and was even tentatively approaching its paw.
"Hehe, don\'t worry. One day you will look even more epic than this chicken." Josh reassured.
It would?! How amazing would that be! It would become a divine wolf and journey across the world with its master. They would defeat countless enemies and eat the most delicious meat!
"Alright, let\'s see what awaits inside." Jack fearlessly chuckled as he pressed his hand on the statue.
As soon as he did, it opened its beak and began clucking madly:
— Cluck! —
— Cluck! Cluck! —
— Cluck! Cluck! Cluck! —
With every Cluck, the red aura became more profound, and it extended to the two, enveloping them. It began pulsating, akin to the heartbeat of an enormous titan. Then a second later, they were gone from the room, landing in a dark space.
— Thump! Thump!—
"Woo?!" (Alert!)
The little wolf turned and twisted, warily eying their surroundings. What was happening?! But then it felt it. There was a presence looming over, one that reminded it of a god— yet wasn\'t one? What?!
— Thump! Thump!—
"Hehe, this is gonna be one hell of a fight! No matter what happens, don\'t falter!" Jack shouted.
"Woo!" (Valiant!)
— Thump! Thump!—
That is when it appeared. It all started with a tiny spark spawning a distance away. But it instantly began to blow up as if gasoline had been thrown in an inferno. The fire spread amidst the air, getting bigger and bigger!
— Thump! Thump!—
Then, it took a colossal and mighty form under the two\'s eyes. Even Jack couldn\'t help but gasp at it, the scalding heat cooking his skin until well-done.
— Thump! Thump!—
The explosion took the form of a giant beating heart!
— Thump! Thump!—
The thing\'s presence was overwhelming. It was as if they were confronted with an ancestral being that could squash them with its mere thumping.
< Ancestral Fiery Chicken\'s Heart Lv 20! ????? >
It mightily floated in the air, brightening the surroundings with an aura of doom. They stood on a stone platform inscribed with chickens.
For an instant, everything was still. It was as if the heart had ceased to exist, and they too were frozen. But then reality came crashing back.
The heart thumped, truly thumped, for the very first time!
It was loud, it was omnipresent, it was ancient!
It shook them to their very core.
— THUMP! THUMP! —
That is when the Hellish fight began, in one fiery blaze….
