Fabre in Sacheondangga Episode 168
Snail poison fang claw 1
-Churup. Churrup.
I came to my senses at the feeling of a sticky, cold sensation on my face.
And then I felt something sticky dripping down from my right eyebrow, down my cheek, and down my chest.
When I opened my eyes, my right field of vision was obscured by sticky liquid.
Instead, I opened my left eye a little wider and saw something large, pink, approaching my face.
-chuck.
Before I could even fully come to my senses and it happened so suddenly that I couldn’t do anything about it, a pink lump stuck to my face.
Then, a familiar cry and a languid voice that I had never heard before were heard in my ears and head.
-Beep. “Rice…”
‘This is Hwayang’s voice.’
As expected from Hwayang, even the first touching conversation was about food.
It was clear that Hwayang woke up before me and was licking my face and begging for food.
It was a touching first conversation where our hearts were connected through the beast’s heart, but even that was about food.
The guy smiled faintly at the consistent love of food and answered Hwayang.
Because I felt like my face would wear away like this.
“Okay, you little punk. Just wait a minute.”
As Hwayang answered while wiping the drool dripping down the corner of his mouth, voices continued to ring out from around him.
-Tsurut! -Tsuruur! -Tsuru!
-Kissit!
-Kkuku! -Kkuu!
“Little Dragon! Are you successful? How is your body? What is your background?”
“Ryong-ah, are you awake!?”
Cho and Bin, along with other poisonous creatures such as Hwa-eun and Seol-nu.
When I turned my head in the direction where the voices were coming from, the surroundings were filled with people and poisons.
It was clear that everyone was guarding me, probably out of concern.
“Yes, as expected, I’m fine, except for the sore body. How many days have passed since then?”
He quickly turned his back on his past and began to contemplate his inner self while answering Hwa-eun and Seol’s questions.
Now that I have come to my senses, I need to check out what the second level of the Five Poisons Returning to the Source Spirit Skill is.
Danjeon, reached by focusing your mind against the flow of energy that slowly turns.
Inside the danjeon, two poisonous energies were slowly rotating in one direction.
The two poisons were rotating in a way that balanced each other out, like a Tai Chi symbol.
When I was learning about the introduction to martial arts from my grandfather, Mandokshin-gun, I learned that the Taegeuk is like the Infinite, which is chaotic but is the most stable state because it is where all things begin. If that is the case, then this is probably a stable state.
It was clear that the new Hwayangi’s poison had safely settled into the danjeon along with the original poison.
I briefly thought that Hwayangi’s poison was a poison that burned internal energy, so I might not be able to accept it, but fortunately, Hwayangi’s poison settled in safely.
There were no side effects.
It seems that he gained absolute immunity from the poison and recognized it as his own poison, so the effects did not appear on him.
Well, if he had become addicted, Hwayang would have been the first to die.
As I moved the two poisonous auras rotating in the shape of a Taegeuk, a power unlike any before surged within my body.
It feels like the poison is spreading from the toes to the fingertips along the internal energy that extends from the danjeon.
I felt a thrill at the power that stretched out through my fingertips.
‘Is this the world of two poisons? Wow… This is awesome!’
Up until now, I couldn’t even dream of using long-range techniques because I lacked the stamina, but I thought that even if I didn’t know how to use the advanced level of long-range wind, I might be able to burst out energy from my palm.
A body that feels like it could handle some level of wind training.
After finishing my internal observation with a joyful heart, I looked around, and the first thing that caught my eye was a bamboo shade.
After quite some time, a shady canopy made of bamboo and woven reeds appeared, covering Hwayangi.
It seemed like they had mobilized people to create it to block out the sunlight, so even though the hot sun was beating down, the shade felt cool.
“Ten days. Little Dragon.”
“It’s been ten days since that day, Ryong-ah.”
As I seemed to have finished my internal observation, I heard Seol Nui and Hwa Eun’s answers.
I heard from my sister Seol before that when registering beasts with the Beast Heart, it takes about a few hours for regular beasts, but since it’s a spirit, it takes ten days by default each time you register.
Before I knew it, ten days had passed again.
I put Hwayang aside for a moment and got up with my creaking body.
This is already the third time, so the feeling of an empty stomach and creaking joints are familiar.
As I stretched, my stiff joints and muscles screamed.
“Oh my. Every time I do it, my body feels no joke.”
“Are you okay, Little Dragon?”
“Yes, I’ve experienced this so often that I’m getting used to it.”
It was when I had just finished loosening up.
The sound of something falling can be heard as you stretch your arms.
-Thud. Thud.
When I bent down to check the feet, wondering if something had fallen from the body, I saw several translucent shell-like things lying on the ground mixed with ash and dirt.
‘what?’
It was clearly something that had fallen from my body, but it was something unfamiliar.
It was when I reached out and tried to grab it.
The strange sensation felt at the tip of your fingers the moment they touch the ground.
Feeling a strange sense of numbness in the tips of my fingers, I picked up the fallen object to check, and what caught my eye was something translucent and round.

Let’s take a closer look at what it was. It was a fingernail.
“nail?”
“A fingernail?”
A fingernail that appears to have fallen off the hand as a whole, rather than being cut off.
Seol’s sister tilted her head together as she looked at the nails in her hand, and I heard Hwa-eun’s surprised voice in my ear.
“Little dragon! Little dragon’s claws···.”
At Hwa-eun’s scream, I turned my hand over and checked my invisible fingernails.
My hand felt strange.
Oddly enough, all ten of my fingernails had fallen off, without exception.
Perhaps the sound of something falling from my body a moment ago was none other than the sound of my fingernails falling.
“Huh, why the fingernails!?”
I looked at Hwa-eun and Seol in surprise, and Hwa-eun ran over and grabbed my hand and looked at me.
Hwa-eun, who was looking at the place where the nail fell off, said in a strange voice.
“It’s strange. My fingernails are falling off and then growing back again. Why is that?”
According to Hwa-eun’s words, I also checked the part where my fingernail fell off, and the newly growing fingernail caught my eye.
Sister Seol, who was sitting next to her, also interrupted Hwa-eun with a strange expression.
“It’s strange that only fingernails fall off without any transformation. Why do new fingernails grow? It’s definitely because of martial arts…”
But I don’t think this is because of our Beast Heart. Beast Heart affects the mind rather than the body.
“Hwa-eun, think about it carefully. If it wasn’t because of the beast’s heart, then it must have been because of the poison.”
Seol’s sister said that since it is not a phenomenon that can be suspected as a beast’s heart attack, she thinks that it might be due to poison attack.
Hwa-eun answered Seol-nu’s question with a worried expression.
“I don’t know why this happened because I didn’t learn the Odokguiwonshinkong. I guess I should ask my father, or rather, my grandfather···.”
After answering Seol Nu’s question, Hwa-eun touched my hand with a worried expression and asked again.
“Little Dragon, when you checked your body, was there anything else unusual?”
“Yes? Yes. There was nothing wrong.”
Hwa-eun’s expression was very worrying, but when I looked inside, there was nothing unusual, so I couldn’t help but make an expression of not understanding.
That was when.
Hwayang’s cries were heard again from beneath my feet.
-Beep!
Hwayang, who asks to go quickly and get some food after finishing her work.
“Okay, I got it. Let’s go down. Let’s go down.”
There was nothing unusual other than a missing fingernail. Since the group’s journey was delayed by ten days because of me, we decided to quickly head down the mountain.
Of course, Hwayang had been starving for ten days, so I had to give her food.
“There’s nothing particularly wrong with him except for the missing fingernail, so we’ll return his body to his family and bury him with his grandfather. For now, let’s go down the mountain. I have to make sure Hwayang gets some food.”
As I was lifting Hwayang into my arms, telling her to hurry up and go back, Hwayang tried to climb up onto my shoulder and head.
I chuckled as I watched him struggle to get up on his short legs and lift him over my head.
It was because the sight of her short legs flapping was so cute.
Hwayangi had become slightly smaller as he became an adult, and then he climbed onto my head and settled down like a hat.
The feeling of Hwayangi’s round belly above your head.
Hwayang felt a heavy weight, like he was wearing a bulletproof helmet.
But still, I could feel Hwayang’s round belly, so I smiled and said.
“Let’s go!”
That was the moment when I took my first step, shouting, “Let’s go down the mountain.”
-chuck.
I feel two hands on both my shoulders.
I slowly turned my head at the hand that suddenly stopped me, and Hwa-eun and Seol were looking at me with cold expressions.
“Little Dragon, you must have something to talk to me about, right?”
“Dragon, I’m sure your sister said she’d talk to you after you got better.”
I thought you had forgotten everything, but you remember everything.
I thought I could just slyly crush it, but I had a strong feeling that it would be difficult to just pass it over nicely.
“Ah, haha…. I have to…. tell you a story.”
I felt like I needed to quickly examine my insides once more to see if I could build up my inner strength on my back.
***
It was a fortunate thing.
We were just going to hold on to him and have a long, private meeting with Hwa-eun and Seol, but Hwayang was crying in frustration because she was hungry, so we had to quickly head down the mountain.
Hwayang was looking quite angry, as he was even lighting a fire above the guy’s head.
‘From now on, anyone who interferes with my meal is an enemy.’ I could feel that kind of energy flowing through me.
-Beep!
“Oh, that, that’s right, Hwayang. Nice. No, okay, let’s go. T, I think we should talk about this later. Hwayang seems really angry.”
“Ha… Don’t think this is the end, Yong. This sister won’t just let it go.”
“Little Dragon, let’s talk quietly at night.”
“Yeah, of course.”
The watercolor paintings of Itaewon arrived in ten days.
The watercolors looked very different from ten days ago.
A couple of houses that had burned down during the famine war had been rebuilt, and the Murim Alliance ship that had been anchored in the village had returned.
After hearing Hwa-eun’s explanation, it seems that she returned quickly because the work on this side was already finished and she had to quickly bring the Bo-hyeol-dan to the Murim Alliance.
Of course, along with Ji-ryong’s report.
“Little Dragon, are you okay?”
“Are you feeling okay?”
“So-hyeop, are you okay?”
When we arrived at our ship, waiting inside was the Samryongi Bong (Three Dragons and Two Phoenix) group, including Jiryong.
It seemed like he was waiting for me on our boat since he had promised to go to Tangga with us.
“I’m sorry for bothering you. I’m fine, so don’t worry.”
First of all, it was a polite way to apologize for causing concern.
Again the annoying crying continued from above my head.
-Beep!
“Oh, okay, I understand. I think I should give this guy some food and come back and talk to him.”
“Yes, that’s right. I thought he was quiet when I saw him sleeping on the mountain, but he has a very fiery personality.”
I feel like Hwayang should be the one to pack food first.
I asked for understanding and decided to call Lee Tae.
Itaewon arrived a little later.
As it seemed that the old-fashioned light from a lamp would not be enough to send a message to Hwayang, he asked for a large fire to be lit.
“Itae, would you please cut some reeds and light a fire? Hwayang needs to eat.”
“Understood, Little Dragon. Please wait a moment.”
Soon a large fire was lit, and Hwayang, who had been contentedly swallowing the flames, approached me with blurry eyes and tapped my leg.
“Shall we go now?”
-Kkii.
The guy started to nod off as if he was full when I put him on top of my head because he liked it.
As I entered the cabin again, Ji-ryong, Geom-ryong, and Kwon-ryong quickly approached me, tapped me on the shoulder, and spoke.
“Au, are you back again?”
“Yes, the schedule is a bit late because of me. I have to tell them to set sail immediately.”
The two smiled when I asked if it would be okay to leave for Dangga right away since the ship had already been completely repaired.
“What are you going to do? What if it’s today? What if it’s tomorrow?”
“Well, that’s not what’s important now.”
As I tilted my head at the two of them speaking so leisurely, two more people started talking from the left and right.
“You may be wondering what we are talking about, but after seeing your inaction ten days ago, we felt that we could not just let this go.”
“yes?”
“Wow, who would have thought that you could fly through the sky and crash down on top of a mountain? If you have that kind of skill, wouldn’t these brothers not be able to just pass you by?”
“That’s right, you know. When I saw you ten days ago, I felt strongly that I should give you a nickname. I heard you don’t have a nickname?”
What he meant was that two people were so amazed by the sight of me falling from the sky into flames ten days ago that they wanted to give me a nickname.
My ears perked up at the thought that the two of them, Kwonryong and Geomryong, would give me nicknames.
That’s why I answered with sparkling eyes.
“If my two older brothers give me a nickname, I will gratefully accept it.”
Then the brothers looked at each other and smiled and answered at the same time.
“““What do you think of Tang Family Mad Dragon?”””
The meaning of that nickname is, so to speak, the crazy dragon of the Tang family.
Since my name is Yong, my nickname was something like a crazy person in the Tang family.
‘No, these guys?’
Actually, they were the ones who gave me the nickname Byeokho because I could only kiss Ji-ryong, but it was my fault for expecting a normal nickname.
