Episode 174. There are no unanswered questions (4)
The skin with a subtle golden sheen was, surprisingly, that of a bear.
The unburned bearskin was truly dazzling. It was densely covered with short but shiny hair, softer and more fluffy than the emperor’s bed.
The old man lying in a carefree position on the skin was indeed the owner of a majestic appearance.
The naked top was full of thick muscles. Her biceps were as thick as a woman’s thighs, and her puffy breasts seemed harder than a rock. She was an old man who overwhelms those who see her with a huge body suitable for her tall height.
The white beard stretched out arbitrarily, and the loosely tied up hair overflowed with wildness.
“The little owner of the ice palace disappeared?”
The old man’s voice was rather high, not matching his huge size and overflowing wild beauty. That inappropriately high-pitched voice made the old man’s impression look even more dangerous.
A sharp-looking middle-aged man standing in front of the old man lowered his head.
“That’s right.”
“Hmm.”
Interest lit up in the old man’s eyes.
“Where did the guy who moved all the way to Honam like lightning suddenly hide?”
“The strange thing is, he left the ice palace guards there and disappeared alone.”
“Are you sure?”
“I’m sure it was commissioned by Hao Mun’s branch.”
“Haomun is trustworthy.”
The current Hao Mun is an information group formed by powerless people at the bottom. They believed that intelligence was a greater force than brute force, and believed that it was useful for survival.
And that belief was proven to some extent with his skills. At least Hao Mun didn’t spice up the request.
“Hmm, where did he disappear to?”
“They say they don’t know that far.”
The old man frowned.
Kreureung.
At the same time, a long, thick tail protruded from behind his bed, in the dim shadows.
It was clearly the tail of a beast, but it was not the common sense thickness. The tail, which was dyed with yellow and black patterns, was thick enough to hold half of it with both hands.
Flash!
Beyond the black darkness, two eye-beams radiate red light.
The middle-aged man involuntarily swallowed his saliva. My heart pounded like crazy at the sudden sight.
“The fact that he abandoned the escort and disappeared doesn’t mean that he has an ulterior motive.”
“Yes, yes.”
“Then you should have known that far.”
“Let’s see again, again.”
A look of disapproval appeared on the old man’s face.
“I heard that there are frequent clashes with the tribe of Paeung (覇熊) lately.”
“… … !”
“Even if a hawk’s claws were sharp, could they scratch a bear’s skin?”
The middle-aged man bit his lip.
Being compared to Paeung as the head of the Noeung, the tribe that ruled the sky, was a shame.
However, if the person speaking the words is none other than the king of beasts and the owner of the Palace of the Beast, the story is different.
Even if there is a means to harm the bear, the game will be turned upside down if Yawang intervenes. And, of course, that wasn’t what the man wanted.
“Give me one more chance. I will not disappoint you.”
The old man, who had been looking at the man with narrow eyes, said in a stern voice.
“Don’t think that I will give you strength just because you are the father of your favorite disciple.”
“… … .”
“I sent my disciples to Mt. Let them find out until they’re done.”
“thank you.”
“Get out and see.”
When the middle-aged man left, the old man, Cheonho, yawned. Inside the wide-open mouth, the sharp fangs looked unusually long.
He groaned.
“I am relieved. Only then will it be difficult for Hyeongrang, let alone Paewung.”
It was always a pleasure to watch the competition for allegiance. But it was also my job to prevent any of them from being weeded out.
I pressed it gently once, so I’ll come to my senses again.
“Anyway, he disappeared alone… … You must have come to rescue my brother, but did you go to find a guide at least?”
No matter what, he will have no choice but to come to the Beast Palace.
Chen Ho’s eyes grew redder and redder.
“Welcome, son of the Northern King.”
* * *
“stop!”
At the cry of the ghost, the five men and women stopped practicing.
“Today, let’s rest here.”
As soon as the words came out, the five men and women leaned against the tree and pounded their legs.
“Whew, that’s hard.”
“Did you run five hundred li already?”
“Already? We have to go another thousand li.”
“Damn, that’s too far.”
grumbling voice.
Gwi-eung sat down on a rock in the distance from them and closed his eyes. Like the martial arts of the central plains, he did not cross-legged, and his waist was slightly bent.
It was the Daeyeonyangsaengbeop (大然養生法), which is said to be the most static among the Ungibeop of the Beast Palace. It is not possible to build internal energy with chuggi, but it is a specialized breathing method for relieving fatigue and activating the senses of the body.

In other words, it is the method of fortune-telling in the manner of Nanban. Because of the martial arts of the Beast Palace mixed with it, once you reach a certain level, you can focus on your breathing while maintaining your senses.
The feeling clearly conveyed the conversation around him.
“Look at that. Isn’t that guy tired? Are you training again?”
“He must be trying to regain his strength because he is tired.”
“Aren’t you going to spend the day anyway? Anyway, Yunan.”
Jealousy drips from his voice.
It’s probably the sound you want to hear. Since he can’t openly attack, the only way to get rid of petty jealousy is to curse at him from behind.
‘Feel free to make noise.’
Swearing behind your back doesn’t improve your skills. Gwieung rather laughed at the behavior of such competitors.
If I had poured that passion into training, at least it would have been better than now.
Then, a heavy voice was heard.
“Everybody be quiet.”
With that one word, the conversation mixed with jealousy disappeared.
“You guys recover your stamina in time for your snouts.”
It was pretty harsh. But none of them objected.
After a while, a person came to Gwieung’s side.
“Are you done?”
Gwieung opened his eyes.
He saw a young man of enormous stature.
The young man, Woongsan (熊山) said.
“Where are you planning to take the road?”
“The eastern entrance of Mt. Aenye.”
“I thought so.”
Woongsan narrowed his eyes.
“Why do you want to turn around?”
“Should I tell you that?”
“Of course, since you are the captain, there is no need to explain everything. But don’t those idiots agree if you tell them why?”
Gwieung smiled coldly.
“Whether you agree or not, it doesn’t matter to me.”
“It will matter. If you want to properly complete the orders given by Master.”
“It is also their choice to sabotage the mission.”
“If you have an idea, it won’t interfere. However, if you want smooth exchanges, it would be better to have a discussion.”
Woongsan’s eyes deepened.
“In that respect, you need to learn Yulang.”
In an instant, he felt something throb in his chest.
Before he became the leader of this group, there was someone who had tremendous control over the successors. He was Yulang, a genius from the tribe of Blood.
However, Yulang, who received the mission and advanced to the midfield, did not come back. Until now, it was not confirmed whether he was alive or dead, but now everyone accepted his death.
The person who succeeded Yulang and became the head of the successors was Gwieung. He was a disciple who was favored by the palace ruler as a talented person from the tribe of Yasugung and Noeung.
“Yulang was rough and arrogant. But he knew how to communicate. He won’t tell you to imitate him, but he needs to know how to read all people in order to do his job smoothly.”
Gwieung’s eyes were bloody.
“If you knew that well, why didn’t you step up and take this position?”
“… … .”
“Enter through the eastern entrance of Mt. That’s all I know.”
Ungsan, who was looking down at Gwieung, turned around.
Gwi-eung inwardly snorted. On the outside, he holds a lot of weight, but he did not know that Ungsan was the one who secretly encouraged other successors to insult him.
I thought it was worth it. All of the disciples of Gungju are in the same position, but Ungsan was the eldest among them. With Yulang gone, he must have thought that he could lead them.
‘A idiot with no skills.’
If you really wanted to do that, you should have trained hard.
‘Well, it’s quite amazing that I came this far with a talent I don’t have.’
Gwieung’s eyes laughing at Woongsan were no different from the other disciples who were jealous of him.
After a while, Gwi-eung stood in front of everyone.
“Woongsan.”
“Tell me.”
“Secure food with the rain instructor.”
Woongsan’s eyes flashed.
The non-instructor sitting next to him said in an annoyed voice.
“There is enough food. What to do again… … .”
Pooh!
There wasn’t even a single groan. The non-instructor, hit by the tension of the response, rolled back and forth and soon fell limp.
Surprised by the sudden situation, everyone looked at the response.
he said calmly.
“Do you know that you don’t know that I ate in the middle because it was hard?”
“… … !”
“I was told to conserve food and drinking water as much as possible because I did not know what might happen on the way. Did you hear me with your ears? Or have you already forgotten Master’s request?”
Bloodshot eyes stood in everyone’s eyes.
Gwieung said to Ungsan.
“Go with Yeong-pyo.”
“… … i get it.”
Woongsan woke up and suddenly looked up at the sky.
Beep profit!
High in the sky, several hawks were circling. At first glance, it was three or four times the size of an ordinary falcon.
The tribe of Noeung knows everything that happened in their realm. No beast could escape the eyes of the hawk, the ruler of the sky.
“Youngpyo, let’s go.”
“… … okay.”
So Woongsan and Youngpyo moved.
Gwynung walked back to the rock. He could feel the eyes of the heirs glaring at him behind his back, but he ignored them.
Sitting on a rock, he was lost in thought.
‘I still can’t trust the Tang family. I’m moving outside the area managed by the Demonic Cult, so I can’t say anything nonsense.’
The Simcheo of Mt. Aenye has been occupied by demonic cults and is managing Yeongcho. It was said that the Youngcho was sent to the Demonic Cult quarterly.
The ghost’s eyes grew cold.
‘I hope I can get it back this time.’
Originally, Aenye Mountain was an area occupied by the Beast Palace.
Of course, that was hundreds of years ago. They had nothing to say as they were driven out of power, but attempts were made to reclaim their homeland.
‘I will cut off the first start of this recapture operation.’
It is a mission that has been pursued with ambition. Gwieung decided not to care about the behavior of the stupid heirs anymore.
But his promise was not even halfway through.
“Why aren’t you here?”
The non-instructor, who had come to his senses, sneered.
“We don’t even know.”
“Useless things.”
The old man’s face contorted with annoyance.
He rolled up his thumb and forefinger and brought them to his mouth.
Beep beep!
The sound of his whistle was akin to that of a hawk.
Soon, a similar sound came from a distant place in the sky. It was the cry of Cheon Tae Shin-eung (天態神鷹) who followed Woongsan and Yeongpyo.
“There you are. Fools, what are you doing… … .”
Beep!
In an instant, the ghost’s eyes fluttered.
‘Shin huh?’
He whistled again.
Beep!
There was no answer coming back.
He blew a long whistle. But, again, there was no reply from Shin-Eung.
It was then.
cooong!
The entire hillside shook with a loud impact.
“What, what?!”
Surprised, they instinctively unfolded the divine law. He realized that something had happened to Woongsan and Youngpyo.
how long did it run
After breaking through the bushes, a large clearing appeared in front of them.
“Howdy.”
In the center of the clearing was a handsome young man with a bodo (寶刀) on his shoulder that resembled a sham sword.
“One guy, two guys, three guys, four guys… … Six up to the two guys in front. It fits perfectly.”
“… … What are you?”
“me?”
The young man, Xu Liang, smiled coldly.
“He is a prospective felon who is ready to commit kidnapping, assault, murder, etc.”
Whoa!
A red wind blew into the huge blade.
