Blue Spotted Snail 3
-Wow!
-Boom! Boom!
“This is f*cking crazy···.”
The sound of the world being created, waking you up in the middle of the night.
It’s the fourth night since the guests left to search.
From the distant Dolsan Mountain, a loud noise began to be heard, along with the sound of rocks crashing together.
“I told you to just find them slowly, but you’re digging rocks and throwing them? Don’t these people know anything about environmental protection? We need to protect the habitat, not the people behind us who are collecting them!”
Collecting means borrowing from nature for a short time, and furthermore, the habitat must be protected unconditionally.
No matter how urgent it was for the sake of my daughter, it seemed like the thirty or so people were trying to completely destroy the habitat.
“No, but was there any explosives or dynamite?”
After waking up in the body of an orphan in a small village in Haenam Island.
I lived in an abandoned pipe in this mountain, catching and selling snakes to make a living, so I knew nothing about this era.
I just thought it would be one of the Song, Yuan, Ming, or Qing dynasties.
That’s why I’m a little surprised by the sound I’m hearing now.
Because I could hear sounds like something breaking and exploding, sounds that could never be made naturally.
It was thought that the sound heard now could never be made without gunpowder.
‘When was gunpowder developed in the Central Plains?’
That’s why I was starting to think that maybe it wasn’t that far in the past compared to my previous life.
It would be a different world if there were really martens bigger than people, as the men say.
And between those thoughts, I thought I should stop by the habitat tomorrow when the sun rises.
I thought it would be worthwhile to take a look at just how much habitat had been destroyed.
Habitats should be protected by those who know them, because habitat protection may be a distant concept for people in this day and age.
If there’s even one small one, I’ll pick it up too…
Because the fox is a very attractive creature.
He said it was big enough to eat me, but I was already looking for a black mamba, so I couldn’t be scared at this level.
Did about an hour pass like that?
-Whoosh.
A sudden shower of rain.
Along with the falling rain, the distant sound of something bursting and shattering began to quietly die down.
It’s probably quieter now that it’s raining so we can’t use any more gunpowder.
Now it seemed I could finally fall asleep to the sound of pouring rain as my lullaby.
“Are you done?”
-Crunch, crunch.
Soon I started hearing crickets chirping from the cricket jar, so I decided to go to bed and try to take another nap.
Soon the rain poured down, and the quiet night in the mountain village, no different from yesterday, began again.
***
-Gasp gasp.
The Tang family’s warriors collapsed from exhaustion.
The surviving warriors were sprawled out on the rocks, drinking the pouring rain, and Dang Cheol-san, a scholar poisoned by heaven, had his broken arm tied to a cut bamboo stick.
“Is your arm okay?”
The owner of the voice heard was Mandokshin-gun, the father of Dangcheolsan.
Dangcheolsan answered with a smile in the rain.
His arm was broken, but now that he had caught the Blue and White Dragon, he smiled with anticipation at the thought that he would be able to save his daughter.
“Yes, it’s just broken.”
“I didn’t expect the low-level Qing Ban Wukong to be like this. If it hadn’t rained and slowed down his movements, we would have all lost our lives.”
The smile disappears at his father’s words.
It was just as my father said.
Incredible speed and strength.
The ability to accurately detect the location of warriors even in the dark of night.
And a great poison that melts away the place it touches.
Although it was recorded as a low-level poison in the Secret Record of the World, the poison of the Blue Wukong was so great that it made the words “low-level” seem meaningless.
Despite being warned to be careful, two warriors from the clan who could not adapt to the speed passed away, and three warriors were also poisoned.
Fortunately, the three who were poisoned were able to save their lives by expelling the poison with the help of Unghwang and their father’s poison, but if the fight had been prolonged, it was impossible to know what would have happened to those three, or to the rest of them.
He threw himself to save a warrior who was being ambushed during a fight, but even though he was wearing a self-defense weapon, his arm was instantly broken.
The Tang dynasty’s swords and secret weapons were completely ineffective against the boy’s hard shell, and while his body was slow, his father barely managed to kill him by crushing his head.
“Well, that’s okay since we caught her. Then we need to check how strong the internal elixir is to save our Hwa-eun.”
Beyond the warriors of the family who collapsed from exhaustion.
A giant civet, flipped over on a rock and wagging its feet, was approaching with a smile on its face as Mandokshin-kun approached.
***
-Whoosh.
When I woke up in the morning, the rain hadn’t stopped.
From what we’ve seen over the past few years, this is the rainy season with a lot of rain.
Sometimes it rains lightly, and sometimes it rains for several days, but the rain that started last night looks like it will last a long time.
The sky was covered with thick dark clouds, and the rain was falling quite heavily.
It seemed like I would have to postpone my plans to check out the habitat.
After breakfast, I decided to explore the habitat that people had destroyed, but with the rain like this, I knew I had to avoid going out and about.
I live alone, so if I catch a cold, I’ll have to suffer alone for days. Then who’s going to feed my little ones?

Originally, breeders had to take thorough care of their bodies.
Because breeders are people who take responsibility for the creatures they raise.
Two more days later, in the morning.
-Knock. Knock.
An unknown tropical bird was chirping beautifully on the roof of the abandoned pipe, and water droplets were dripping from the eaves of the broken pipes here and there.
It’s a morning where the sun has finally peeked through the clouds and the birds and insects are chirping noisily.
I had been itching to go to the habitat for a while, so I thought this was a good thing.
‘New species!’
An adventure to find a fox with blue spots on its body, called the Blue-Ban-O-Gong.
Because it seemed possible today.
It’s not like I’ve been just playing around for the past two days.
I prepared thoroughly.
First, he made a relatively small, intact jar that he could carry on his back by putting it in a pouch made of rope, and he also made and carried two torches made of twisted rags, a torch, and a firecracker made of branches.
Because you might end up in a cave-like place.
The Amazonian giant centipede, or Peruvian giant centipede, Scolopendra gigantea, was once one of the largest centipedes that ever existed in the world.
These ropes and torches were prepared because the characteristic of this civet, called Gigantia, was to climb the ceiling of caves and catch birds and bats.
I was wondering if the large civet might have similar habits.
“Everything is ready. Then, shall we go?”
He carried the jar on his back and quickly headed towards the stone mountain to the west.
A not-so-tall rocky mountain that we arrived at after passing several streams swollen by the rain.
Although the rain washed away most of their traces, the moment we arrived at the foot of the rock mountain, we could quickly see what kind of trouble they had caused in their habitat.
A part of the mountainside looked like it had been hit by a bomb, even from a distance.
Rocks were tumbling down from the middle of the mountain to the bottom, and one part of the mountainside had caved in, and muddy water from there was still flowing down the mountain.
“Oh my! They really did a great job.”
There was still a lot of moisture, so I climbed the mountain carefully, making sure not to slip on the rocks.
Even if we found the new species later, we needed to examine how much the habitat had been destroyed.
It took about thirty minutes to get to the middle of the mountain.
I couldn’t help but tremble.
When I reached the middle of the mountain, I took out something bright red that was stuck in a crevice between the rocks…
This looks like a fox’s leg.
A bright red leg that appears to be about 40 centimeters long.
It was a huge bridge that looked as thick as a hundred-won coin.
‘W-It was real!?’
To be honest, I was hesitant when they said it was big enough to eat me.
It is common sense that insects and arthropods need high oxygen concentration to grow.
That’s why only during high-oxygen times like the Carboniferous Period of the Paleozoic Era could mayflies the size of sparrows, cockroaches the size of cats, and dragonflies the size of eagles exist.
Because the oxygen concentration in this day and age doesn’t seem that high.
Even when I made a fire, it was similar to my previous life.
But when I saw the bridge, I understood.
If the legs are like this, they’re definitely big enough to eat me and still have some left over.
I was so overwhelmed by the size of the bridge that it gave me goosebumps.
If a guy with legs like this had this much power, I wondered how big that giant body would really be.
-Gulp.
‘Shall we go back?’
Even though it is new, its size is so scary that I wonder if I should turn back.
But after a moment of hesitation, I decided that since I was already here, I should check to see if there were any small ones.
I thought it would be absolutely impossible to raise one, so even if I couldn’t catch it, I wanted to see it moving around alive at least once.
Today would probably be the best time to see it alive.
The surface of a civet’s skin has little water film, so when it rains, the surface of its body gets wet easily, and then the civet that gets wet in the rain cannot breathe easily.
So the moment when the fox is most calm is right now after the rain has stopped.
Because now is the time when you can find the fox relatively safely.
So I spent a long time looking around the area where I found the bridge and where the ground had been dug up.
And after a brief search, they were able to find a hole deep inside the dug-up earth, beyond a collapsed pile of dirt, large enough for a person to crawl through.
“I think it’s here···.”
I had no choice but to ponder in front of the cave for a long time.
These animals usually live alone.
Since they have territories, it is common for them to fight when they meet.
But not all papers were like that.
The only Korean king.
Even when they merged, there were few cases of fights breaking out.
So, if the owner of the leg I picked up came out of this hole, there may be other foxes inside.
Otherwise it would be empty.
When it’s empty, it’s not a problem.
It’s a bit of a shame, but I did get to pick up a leg.
But if there’s another fox inside…
That would be a little bit, no, very dangerous.
But my worries didn’t last long.
-Haha.
Soon I was found taking out my torch and lighting it.
I had died in my previous life looking for the ten-year-old viper, so I thought to myself that I really had a long way to go before I could come to my senses.
‘This damn curiosity. No, this dead man’s curiosity.’
-Whoooosh.
He attached the torch to the ground and carefully crawled into the hole.
Still, I hope that it will be okay since there is a fire in front of me.
Crawling through a cave damp from the rain that fell like that, about five meters?
A widening oyster.
The cave seemed to have widened a little, and then a hollow space appeared along with a musty, moldy smell.
I straightened my back and sat up, first looking at the ceiling.
I was worried that the fox might jump down.
To be honest, I was running behind.
So I looked up from the ceiling and held the torch out to illuminate the inside of the cavity that appeared.
Then, in the distance, in the middle of the hollow, I began to notice something yellow the size of a handball, piled high.
“oh my god!”
An exclamation that bursts out because one cannot hold it back.
It has a shiny, round shape.
That thing, which was the size of a handball, was clearly the egg of a giant civet, the Blue Wukong.
