He must have made eye contact with me, but other than lifting his head at first, he just froze.
The eerie feeling in my head still lingered, but I decided to quietly step back for the time being.
Since the guy hadn’t responded yet, it would be best if we could just end it quietly.
‘Mom, haven’t you seen it? That would be the best, but···.’
First, I pressed the tear sac under Hwayang’s chin so that he couldn’t make any sound.
Then, Hwayang’s cheek pouch, which was about to squeak again, fell out like a fish.
I immediately hugged the boy who was struggling on his short legs in my arms tightly.
How fortunate it is that even spirits have short legs and cannot exert much strength when hugged.
The body of a worthless guy was a great help at times like this.
-fart.
‘Hold on tight, you punk! This is going to be a disaster!’
“Rice. Rice. Rice. Rice. Rice. Rice. Rice.”
‘Ha, if this was my past life, I would have eaten Black at least!’
It was the moment when I took a step back while holding the guy who was filling the chat window in my head with the word ‘food’.
Suddenly, I heard an eerie sound from the tail of the guy who was making eye contact with me.
-Crunch. Crunch.
‘Then, of course, I can’t just sit still at this time…’
An eerie sound that makes every man cringe the moment he hears it.
The sound of sharp blades scraping against each other, like that heard from a pair of sharp scissors, resonated coolly along the cave walls.
The moment I stopped in my tracks, sighing at the sound of my ears ringing as if I was hoping for luck but it was impossible.
The guy ran straight towards me and swung his tongs at my head.
-Seeing. Crunch.
“Eek!”
Quickly fell down, but the scissors just grazed the top of his head.
The end of the hair tie that held my hair up was cut off, and the scissors that barely grazed my head cut through the stone pillar I was hiding under.
-Crunch! Crunch.
A natural treasure that is hundreds of thousands of years old collapses in an instant.
He dodged backwards to avoid the rocks falling from the ceiling as the stone pillar was cut.
“Whoa!”
“Little dragon!”
“Dragon!”
I was running while holding Hwayang in my arms, so I didn’t even look behind me as I jumped forward, but Hwaeun and Seol immediately ran over and caught me.
Two voices came to my ears, giving me a sense of relief.
“are you okay?”
“Are you okay, Soryong?”
Hwayang, who happened to be the one who got on the nerves of the guy at the most violent time.
Because of that, I felt like I had to run away for a while, so I was supported and backed away, shouting at the back.
“I’m fine. Everyone, run away!”
At that moment, he tells Oryongsambong, who is a little further behind, to run away, and he and Hwaeun Seol step back.
A guy who catches on in an instant.
The gap between us suddenly narrowed, and his flashing pincers opened wide in front of the three of us.
“Little dragon!”
“So, so, so, so!”
The shouts of Gyuseong and Jiryong, who were surprised by our appearance, echoed through the cave walls.
The two who couldn’t escape because they were supporting me and I was stuck in the middle with nothing I could do.
At that moment, my sister Hwa-eun and I opened our eyes wide!
-Bam. Boom!
A dark shadow leapt out from behind us and shot at the guy like a missile.
-Tsrrrr!
-Tsrrrr!
As I fell on my butt in surprise at the sudden situation, a familiar sight appeared before my eyes.
Bin ran over and pushed the guy away with his headbutt, then took his place in front of us with Cho.
Is this why they say that a well-raised daughter is the foundation of a household?
Without realizing it, a sigh full of affection for the two burst out from within me.
‘Gyaaaah! My daughter! You’re the best!’
“Binah! Choya!”
“Good job! Binnie Cho!”
But even though we were hit pretty hard, this guy was stuck in a corner of the cave and quickly got up and crawled towards us.
At the cry in my heart, the tentacles of Cho and Bin, which had been gently bent for a moment, stood up straight again.
It feels clear that they are about to go into battle.
At that sight, he immediately asked Cho and Bin, who were about to fight, to retreat.
That guy, if he fights now, he won’t stop fighting until he dies.
And if they kept fighting, Cho and Bin could have been struck by lightning.
“Choya, Binya, step back!”
-Tsururut!
-Tsrrrr!

Unlike Hwayang, my daughters listen to me well.
Cho and Bin immediately turned around.
Without even saying anything, Bin wrapped me, Cho wrapped Hwa-eun, and Seol wrapped their bodies around each other and began to crawl forward quickly.
Bin-i and Cho quickly followed Oryongsambong, who had stopped for a moment because of us.
-Crunch crouch
As the sound of angry scissors being cut was heard from behind, the voices of Gyu-seong and Ji-ryong were heard again.
“Little Brother Xiaolong, instead of running away, why don’t we just catch him now?”
“The little guy, So-hyeop, is quick, but he also has So-hyeop’s Wukong, so it’s not like he can’t be caught. How about catching him now?”
Since they had already said they were going to catch the guy, the two decided to just catch him now.
The question was whether they could catch him if they combined their strength after seeing Bin-i’s power, but the two immediately shook their heads at the question.
I don’t know if there was a fairy, but the first hole was too narrow to bring the fairy in, so there was no way to catch it safely.
If I had wrapped it with the magic thread, it would have been captured right away, but that wasn’t possible.
Also, I couldn’t catch it now, and I couldn’t catch it.
“No. That guy will never give in now. Not until he dies.”
The two opened their eyes wide at my words.
Ji-ryong, who was running beside me with an incomprehensible expression, asked.
“Is there any reason for that?”
Ji-ryong asks if there is a reason for the guy to risk his life to fight.
Perhaps because he couldn’t get close enough, he didn’t know the reason, but he nodded and answered his words.
Of course there was a reason.
“Yes, I think that guy laid an egg a little while ago.”
“egg?”
“The guy was hatching eggs?”
“Did you have an egg, Little Dragon?”
People are surprised by the surprising word “Al”.
Yes, Hwayang saw the guy licking the eggs under his stomach right before he charged.
That’s why the guy was determined to fight to the death.
“If you have the eggs, you can do that.”
“There is nothing more ferocious than a female carrying her young.”
“I was wondering why it was so fierce, but it turns out there was an egg?”
People who nod their heads at my words.
As everyone says, a mother bird that is brooding on eggs becomes very ferocious, and the reason I said that she will fight to the death is because when she is brooding on eggs, she becomes more ferocious than other animals.
‘You really have to be careful with earwigs that are carrying eggs.’
The name of the insect that is the basis of this guy is Gusu (蠼螋) in Chinese.
In English it’s called Earwig.
The arthropod that is mistakenly believed to enter a person’s ear while they are sleeping and eat their brain is the earwig.
The reason he said he would fight until he died.
Earwigs, like civets, are maternal insects, and are more vicious than any other insect when they are carrying eggs.
This guy is famous for mercilessly attacking guys who come into his burrow after spawning.
Even the maternal instinct of the earwig is more extreme than that of the civet.
And there was another reason why I told you not to fight.
“Yes, and if you do something wrong, you could get struck by lightning.”
“A bolt from the blue?”
“What does that mean?”
The moment when people started to question my words, “a bolt from the blue.”
Hwayang, who had lost the strength in her arms without me realizing it, escaped from my arms and rolled to the floor.
-Tok tok tok tor···.
An orange potato rolled across the cave floor, stopping dead in front of the thing chasing us.
When Hwayang was surprised and stopped Bin-i, a blue flame rose from Hwayang’s body.
“Bin-ah, wait a minute! Hwayang-ah!”
-Wow, wow.
The inside of the cave was dyed blue by the flames that rose from the orange potatoes.
Then, the giant earwig stops in surprise at the sight of an orange potato out of nowhere and then steps back in surprise.
When Hwayang started to press the earwig by calling it a teenage poison and raising a fire, the surprised earwig quickly retreated further.
-Beep!
As Hwayang took a step closer with his short legs, the boy was surprised and took a bigger step back.
Then, Hwayang turned his head and looked at me with a very triumphant smile.
A very arrogant thought crept into my mind, that I could do this much too.
I thought that guy didn’t think much about anything other than food, but it seems he was a bit competitive with Bin and Cho.
But I couldn’t help but look at him with a worried expression.
It was a bolt from the blue.
“No, Hwayang, you···. And then···.”
That was the moment.
Before I could finish speaking, Hwayang’s triumphant smile, looking at me, reached its peak.
-Push.
Contrary to before, the earwig lowered its pincer-like tail and raised its forelegs, and a yellow liquid spurted out from its stomach toward Hwayangi.
A foul odor that spreads immediately.
“Whoa!”
“Khuuuuuck!”
Screams suddenly burst out.
People were startled and held their noses at the smell that was coming straight towards them.
It was because a maddening stench was seeping in.
-Beep.
An orange potato rolling around on the cave floor, covered in foul-smelling liquid and lit by blue fire.
Hwayang was rolling around on the floor like crazy, trying to rub his face with his front paws that couldn’t even reach him, as if he was in pain.
The earwig slowly retreats at the sight.
The guy who stepped back looked at us once and then quickly disappeared into the darkness again.
When the guy completely disappeared, kind-hearted Hwa-eun asked while holding her nose.
“Little Dragon, if that’s poison, then crap. What should I do?”
“No, it’s not poison. Maybe···.”
Some species of earwigs have the ability to emit such a foul odor from their bodies, and that guy probably has one too.
Ji-ryong approached, pointed at Hwayang, and asked.
“Is that the bolt from the blue?”
“Yes… That’s why I told you not to fight. Ugh… Bin, please pull out just one of the pillars on the ceiling.”
-Tsurut.
Sighing, Bin-i pulled out a pole and rolled Hwayang-i under the water falling behind her.
Because I felt like I needed to wash up a bit.
“You are being punished.”
As I was feeling a little bit relieved about my work, Hwayang’s sad cries echoed through the cave.
-Beep. Beep. Beep.
***
As Hwayang sat down with one hand on the cave floor with a look of loss on his face, free from the stench, he heard Jiryong’s question.
“But what on earth was that guy just now?”
Now it seemed like he was curious about the guy’s identity.
“That’s a big snail shell…”
In response to my answer that it was a large earwig, Hwa-eun, who was looking at Hwayang with a pitiful face, answered on my behalf.
It seemed like he was probably the guy in Hwa-eun’s data.
“The heavens and the earth are dark and turbulent, the sun, moon and stars are trembling, and the clouds, rain, snow and thunder are falling.”
Gold, silver, water, fire, red, blue, white, black, flowers, trees, grass, and fruit.
“It seems to be the Heukgyeom Honggu (黑鉗紅蠼) in charge of Hong among the twenty-four poisonous insects designated by the Tang family. It looks like a large magpie, but it has a pair of sharp swords on its tail and it is said to be red in color, and it definitely looks like the color of fire in the dark.”
Originally, earwigs were just like stag beetles in that they could catch their prey with their pincers, but I never thought they would have twenty-four poisonous teeth if the pincers on their tails were so sharp and razor-sharp.
This is already the third out of twenty-four poisons.
It was really fun to collect them.
‘Oh, you looked a bit old, but you were twenty-four years old?’
As I was delighted at the fact that I had already collected three out of the twenty-four Dokji, I heard a question from my sister Seol, who was lost in thought next to me.
“By the way, Ryong-ah. What are you going to do about that?”
“What happened?”
When I tilted my head at Seol’s question, Seol began to give a long speech.
“For hunters, it is not something they should do to kill their parents and children at the same time, and it is even more atrocious to separate an animal from its parents.
So, you can’t catch the guy before the egg hatches, and you can’t take the egg away from the mother either, right?
But if we just leave it alone, the guy will keep eating pigs···.”
As expected, it’s a beast-like thought.
Seol answered her sister’s question with a smile.
“Once Gusu lays eggs, she won’t eat anything, so it’ll be fine.”
“really?”
Earwigs are animals that fast from the moment they lay eggs.
When I explained it, my sister was delighted.
“Yes, and we may have to catch the cub.”
“Yeah, that’s a bit like that. It’s good because there are a lot of them. But what about the mother? When the babies hatch, they’ll go back to hunting and eating animals.”
My sister was worried a lot, but she didn’t have to worry.
“You don’t have to worry, the chicks will probably die once they hatch.”
“What!? Your mother is dying?”
My older sister looked surprised when she heard that her mother was dying, but she wasn’t just dying.
Earwigs, which have extreme maternal instincts, end their lives by giving their own bodies to their young once they hatch.
The earwig is the one that gives its body to its newborn chicks to eat, providing them with the last bit of food before they disperse into the world.
The queen of maternal love in the arthropod kingdom.
“Yes, it is a blessing to give one’s body to the hatched chicks.”
“!”
“Is it true that such a small creature takes such great care of its own child?”
“Is that really so?”
“Yes, because Gusu loves his children very much.”
Hwa-eun and the people around her made surprised expressions, and the surprised thoughts of Bin-i and Cho surged into her head.
He said that since his father loves them too, he would tell them to eat it.
“···.”
If I tell you not to eat it, it seems like I don’t love it, but I can’t tell you to eat it either.
I thought I should tell him to eat it, but lick it and let it melt like candy.
