-Knock knock knock knock.
As we ran along the mountainside where the dawn was breaking and arrived at the foot of the mountain, Changryong, who was following one step behind Gyu-seong, pointed to a river flowing in the distance and spoke.
“Huk, huk, it’s over there. If we just cross the Lancang River, we’ll finally be in the Central Plains.”
“at las!”
“There’s not much time left. Phew···.”
Now that we can cross that river and reach our destination, the Central Plains, hope appears in people’s eyes, and my brother turns to me and asks.
“Hoohoohoo… Are you okay, Little Dragon?
It’s already been two days since we ran.
Perhaps he was asking because he thought my martial arts level was the lowest among the group and I would lack stamina, but I ate the Royal Jelly of the Golden Phoenix King and my efficiency had increased due to the evolution of the grass, so I was still able to hold out.
‘And if you can’t endure it, you’ll die, so you have to endure it.’
“Yes, bro. Gasp gasp…”
So I wiped the sweat running down my eyes and replied with an expression that said I was still okay, but my brother stopped walking and said.
“It looks like we’ll have to break through in one go since the front is flat. We’ll also have to cross the river, so let’s take a short break and go back to recover our stamina. Phew… If we encounter enemies on the flat land, it looks like we’ll have to fight them no matter what.”
“Okay, brother.”
“Okay, Doryeong.”
I looked back toward the river at my brother’s words. The mountainside was ending not far away, and all the way to the river in the distance was completely flat.
In this kind of terrain, as my brother said, our movements could be completely revealed, and we could be defenseless when crossing the river, so we had to break through with all our might.
And to do that, you need to have plenty of stamina, but it was dangerous to run across flat ground while using all your might like this.
Because if you ever meet an enemy, you might not be able to fight due to lack of stamina.
So let’s look back and see the traces of the torch that are no longer visible.
For the past two days, the Blood Cultists have been doggedly following us from two or three kilometers behind, as if trying to tire us out.
But since there were no more people following us for a couple of hours, we decided to rest and recover our strength as my brother had said.
“Whew… I’m tired.”
“Huk, huk… Are you all okay?”
Changryong and Geombong immediately sit down after hearing their brother’s words.
When I checked on Seol Nui and Hwa Eun behind me, the two were sitting side by side on a nearby rock, wiping the sweat from their foreheads.
“Hwa-eun, are you okay?”
“Yes, what about the little dragon?”
“I’m fine. How’s Sister Seol?”
“I can still hold out. Is Ryong okay? Isn’t it hard? Ryong’s martial arts level is the lowest here.”
“Sister Seol, I’m fine too. Is the fairy okay?”
-Kissit!
I was most worried about the demons because they ran quite a long distance, but it seems like they’re still okay, judging from the fact that they can climb spider webs when there are trees and jump across valleys in one go.
I also checked on the condition of other children.
It’s essential to check the number of people while resting.
“Is Hyang-i Bin okay? How about the candles?”
-Tsurut!
-Tsururut!
When I called out to them, Hyang-i and Bin-i lifted their heads from my shoulder and tickled my chins to let me know that they were okay. Then, they crawled out from under the bushes and put their heads between my arms.
-Tsrrrr.
A flower that makes a pleasant sound when you stroke its head.
Since Wukong felt that the condition of the three sisters was okay, he asked Hwaeun.
“Are Hwa-eun, Seol-i, and Bing-i okay?”
Then, the guys who lifted their heads from under Hwa-eun’s skirt that she had secretly lifted without anyone knowing.
Hwa-eun nodded after checking the condition of Seol-i and Bing-i who were stuck to the hem of her skirt.
“Yes, I think it’s okay.”
-Kkuku···.
-dream···.
The reason why we are quiet even though the guys are still with us.
Since lizards themselves are animals with slow metabolisms, they are not as active as Goku as long as they have a suitable eating environment and a hiding place to hide their bodies.
While civets are very active at night to hunt, lizards remain lethargic once they have eaten.
Hwa-eun and I have ice jade on our wrists, so sometimes when we rest, we crawl up to it and take in some energy, but that’s all.
That’s why they didn’t make any noise even though they had been sticking to Hwa-eun all this time.
For that reason, in my previous life, I raised lizards in large numbers in a relatively small drawer-like space called Rexar.
Even the recommended cage size recommended by famous reptile breeders overseas is only about 450x450x600 for lizards.
“Okay, everyone, it’s only a short walk, so let’s cheer up.”
-Tsurut! -Kissit! -Kookkku!
I cheered up the kids and then took a break.
The break lasted about an hour.
I recover my stamina by eating a lucky breakfast and even go to a nearby stream to drink water.
I threw away all my luggage to lighten my load, so I didn’t have any food, so I couldn’t eat anything.
“Phew···.”
Finally, Brother Gyuseong, who had finished his breakfast, opened his eyes and checked each of their medical records one last time. Brother Gyuseong spoke.
“Then let’s go.”
That was when.
Seol’s sister steps forward and asks for the ending.
“Oh, just a moment. Doryeong.”

“Why are you like that, Miss Seol?”
When the older brother tilted his head at Seol Noo-ui’s request, Seol Noo-ui asked again.
“Before we depart, I’ll try calling the beasts once more. I’ll try to move the beast palace in case the Blood Cult’s pursuit continues to the Central Plains. If my father and Mandokshin-gun are still in Namnasan, they can come this way.”
As we went down south, turned east, and came up north, only the tip of Namsan Mountain was visible in the far northwest.
He asked us to come out and meet him if we were still looking for him.
“Oh, I understand, my lady.”
Of course, it was a good idea, so my brother nodded.
As my sister said, there are no border markings here, and there are no checkpoints or troops waiting.
Because of that, even if we crossed the border, their pursuit could continue all the way to Yunnan, and if that were to happen, we would need troops to come out to meet them in order to ensure our safety.
-Whew.
Once again, my sister’s whistle, like the cry of an eagle, spread through the valley.
-Whew. Whoosh.
Three times in a row.
At this point, it feels like there might be beasts from the Beast Palace nearby, so I’ll definitely call them.
But even though the sound traveled quite far, no response from the beast was heard, and when the sister gave up and asked them to leave.
“It’s not yet fully light so the birds haven’t woken up yet? The dragon is just coming out…”
-Boohoo. Boohoo.
The sound of an owl coming from somewhere.
People looked up at the sky far away toward the border to find the owner of the sound, but the owner of the sound appeared on the side of the mountain we had just passed.
A large eagle owl flew in from the mountainside and landed on my sister’s wrist.
“You came!”
After patting the boy’s head a few times, the sister grabbed the hem of his skirt and tied it around his legs before whispering to him.
-Whoaaah!
“You have to go and bring the Beast Palace people, okay? You have to look for them in the mountains over there first, okay?”
-Boo-woong.
Seol’s sister repeatedly told him to follow the instructions, but normal beasts, like Wukong, Yohwa, or Seol and Bing, don’t think clearly and sometimes forget orders.
If I had sent the first, it would have been certain, but if a dangerous situation occurred, I couldn’t send the first because it was insurance.
So, after asking the boy several times, Sister Seol sent him flying into the sky, and the boy began to fly towards Mt. Namsan following the rising dawn.
“Okay, let’s go now!”
After confirming that the guy had completely disappeared into the sky, Seol’s sister said that it was time to leave.
As I looked up at the sky, it seemed like daybreak was coming soon, so my brother jumped forward and shouted.
“Let’s go!”
Because it is better to cross the plains before the day is fully bright.
Not long after we set off, we were just past the end of the shore and about to enter the plains.
A human figure rising from behind a rock that is scattered on the border between mountains and plains.
The guy shouted in an angry voice and flew straight towards his brother.
“Your escape ends here! This blood cult’s elder, Blood Wind Flying Serpent Maechogui, will deal with you personally!”
“Joe, be careful everyone!”
My brother turned his sword to the side and clashed with the guy, but a loud noise erupted.
-bang!
With a loud noise, my brother’s body flew backwards and crashed into the bushes.
“Ugh!”
“older brother!”
“Dorong!”
And then I hear Hwa-eun’s urgent voice.
“It’s a chase!”
When I stopped at Hwa-eun’s voice and turned my head, I saw men wearing brown leather clothes, different from the red uniforms I had been wearing, quickly approaching from the ridge.
The situation is that the elder is holding us back and the pursuit party is chasing us.
“Are you okay?”
“Ugh. That’s fast!”
My brother got up with blood dripping from the corner of his mouth, supported by Changryong, grabbed the sword again and ran out, shouting.
“Poison, that!”
The reason why my brother can charge without fear even though his opponent is an elder of the Blood Cult.
That’s because we have a bleeding toxin that works well for the guys.
Because if I land one shot, I can do something to him.
That’s why Geombong and Changryong followed their brother again, and Hwaeun started preparing the Guhwansal, which fires nine sharp needles.
And in the meantime, I called down the sergeant and asked him to stop the men in brown uniforms.
‘Hey! Please!’
Judging from the speed at which the guys were chasing us, it seemed like even if we shook off the elder in front of us, we would be caught shortly, so we decided to deal with the guys first.
In this way, Hyungnim, Changryong Geombong, and Hwaeun Seol Nui clashed with the elders of the Blood Cult and sprayed poisonous rain at the warriors running from behind the thatched cottage.
-Whoosh.
Poisonous rain radially sprayed from the mouth of the flying grasshopper.
“Get out of here!”
However, the brown leather-clad warriors quickly dispersed in response to the shouts of the one who seemed to be their leader, and avoided the poisonous rain.
Even the ones who were poisoned don’t seem to be very abnormal.
‘what!?’
As I was watching the guys quickly dodge the poison spray that I sprayed a couple more times in the air, I was startled when a shout of victory rang out from behind me faster than I expected.
“You dare die, you piece of shit!”
-Crack!
“Keuhp! Do, poison!”
“all right!”
While Hyung held on to the bastard while his side was pierced, Hwa-eun stabbed the bastard with two poison needles into his shoulder.
But the situation wasn’t always good.
Meanwhile, Changryong was lying on the ground, vomiting blood, and Geombong was lying nearby, holding his broken sword.
Still, it is a poisonous state.
Hwa-eun shouted at her sister Seol.
“Sister, we have to finish him off! He has been poisoned so that all Blood Cult members cannot use their internal energy. Soon, he will not be able to use even a single ounce of internal energy!”
“okay!”
It was when Hwa-eun repeatedly spit out poison to check if the poison was flowing through the guy, as he had not directly inhaled a large amount of poison like the previous elder.
A man who avoided the sting and took out a small magnetic bottle from his bosom.
The bastard said this with a bitter smile, swallowing the medicine for his illness.
“How long are we going to be exposed to the poison of Hobanyu? Hahaha. Since the annulment has already been completed, you are already dead.”
“Sea, seaweed!?”
“You finally made it to the cancellation stage!”
The cry of a guy who has developed an antidote, even though he hasn’t developed a cure yet and there was no antidote other than serum in his previous life.
It seemed like he thought that even though we were pouring all our energy into it, he would drink the antidote and our faces would turn red with despair, but the fact that they were able to create the antidote was what surprised us.
Hwa-eun and I made eye contact and laughed at what the guy said.
“Ahahahahaha!”
“Huh huh···.”
Then the guy who was making noise.
“What’s so great about it! Are you losing your mind in the face of death!?”
We shouted at the guy because he didn’t seem to know why we were laughing.
“Death is coming to you. The poison will start to take effect now, so turn back and look at your history.”
The guy who calmly tells his story as I say, as if he’s giving me medicine.
Immediately a panicked voice burst out of the bastard’s mouth.
“Hey, why, I took some medicine!”
It was natural for him to be flustered.
Even though I clearly took the antidote, I probably wouldn’t be able to use my history anymore.
***
It was time to check everyone’s equipment before leaving for the plains.
I can hear my brother’s voice in despair.
“All this poison has run out.”
“Are you talking about poison?”
I was tilting my head when I heard that my older brother, who was using the Tao, had run out of poison.
I can hear my brother’s explanation.
“They say that the poison that the Blood Cult received when they went on a mission to prevent them from using their internal energy has run out.”
“Ah, that poison.”
“Oh, since there is poison, there might be that poison. If there is poison, could you please share it with me?”
It seemed like everyone was thinking of applying poison to their weapons before departure in case a fight broke out, but Hwa-eun also shook her head.
We had some too, but we must have used them all up while fighting the stray dogs.
“I’ve used up everything I had.”
People with faces filled with despair at Hwa-eun’s words.
“Then I guess we should just leave.”
My brother was just going to set off, but it would be good to have more power.
I told my brother.
“Brother, I can’t get that poison right now, but I can get something similar.”
“Can you get something similar?”
When I asked him if what he said was true, Hwa-eun spoke up from the side.
“The poison used on the Blood Cultists. It was all created by the little dragon.”
“Are you the little dragon?”
“Are you a small business owner!?”
“Is that true!?”
People who are surprised at how well the Murim Alliance managed information.
“I’ll be right back! Let’s go, Yohwa!”
Leaving the group behind, he ran with the demon to the stream that had been flowing nearby.
And he asked the fairy, pointing to what he had discovered while drawing water earlier.
“Hey, you really should wrap that up.”
-Kishi!
The thing I pointed at was immediately enveloped by the magic wand.
He came back shaking the thing in his hand from the tree like he was possessed by a bartender.
And he came back and smashed it on the floor and said:
“Everyone, you’re going to have to help me out. They’re probably all passed out, so just squeeze their butts.”
“You want me to squeeze this butt?”
“Yes, before I come to my senses.”
The name of the creature we squeezed our butts with is.
A wasp, also known as a yellow wasp, tiger-headed wasp, or hornet.
When I told him to squeeze my butt, Geombong blinked and asked.
“Is this the same poison?”
“No, it’s not the same.”
“then?”
“It’s more toxic.”
The amount is small, but if the amount is the same, the hemorrhagic toxin is stronger than the venom of the hornet.
Wasp venom is a poison that tears the cell membrane of red blood cells, causing the red blood cells themselves to burst and lead to bleeding.
***
‘You must have been very happy after making the medicine, but why did you end up like this?’
The wasp’s venom was so small that I could only apply it to my wounds, but I still felt like it was heaven’s will for me to continue my natural enemy activities.
He smiled and shouted at Hwa-eun and Seol-nu.
“Hwa-eun, take care of Seol-niu!”
Seol’s sister tried to block the poisonous needle that was about to be killed by Hwa-eun’s words.
Seol said with an eerie expression.
“Dragon, I’ll show you what the Leopard Fist of the Beast Palace is!”
I thought only bears could tear people apart, but soon the elder of the Blood Cult was torn apart by his sister’s claws.
The guy said with an incredulous look on his face.
“Ugh! Huh, how···.”
Wouldn’t it be human nature to tell people when you’re curious?
He repeated the comment he had made before.
“Why do the Blood Cult Elders always ask the same thing? It’s because I am your natural enemy!”
‘I told you I was your natural enemy, didn’t I?’
