Poison Valley 1
The weight felt from the arms wrapped around both shoulders and waist.
I stood still and thought about it, but then I started talking because I thought I had to go.
Because it seemed like if things continued like this, leaving today would be a distant dream.
Because behind me, Grandpa Mandokshin and the poisonous snake were waiting in a line.
“Um… guys?”
-Kkuku?
-Tsurut?
-Kissit?
Then, calm cries are heard, as if asking why I am calling.
I said, hitting my forehead loudly at the guys’ calm and composed appearance.
-match.
“No, if you let me go, Daddy won’t come back···.”
The reason why I can’t help but frown at these guys’ behavior.
After preparing for the expedition for several days, we first passed through Kunming, a city in Yunnan Province, and decided on a destination in the jungles of Yunnan Province called Ailei Mountain.
“Are you talking about the poison song!?”
“That’s right. It’s a poisonous song.”
‘What? There is a place with such a heavenly name?’
It is said that this is a place where strangely shaped rocks grow like a forest, and there is a record left in the Tang family that many mysterious poisonous insects and snakes were discovered in a valley called Dokmulgok (毒物谷) within it.
“The poisons of Aenoe Mountain are very strange, and the most peculiar of them is the one found near the lake in the center of Dokmulgok······.”
Since it was a poisonous song, I couldn’t just pass it by.
For this spicy Fabre, heaven and poison were the same thing.
That’s why we decided to dry the surplus crickets and mealworms produced at the poison farm and use them as snacks or side dishes.
Although those who were left behind were sad, it was decided to leave half of the poison tank in the Tang family to manage the poison source.
Because in order to manage the poison source, about half of it had to remain.
The person in charge is Song Na-ok, the deputy leader of the poison squad.
The reason why the woman was put on a hat as soon as she entered was because she had to give instructions to the poison squad members, and she looked uncomfortable without the hat.
Anyway, all the preparations for departure were completed, and the day before departure, Wukong and Seokcheok gathered the magic and explained it to each other.
I mean, you shouldn’t go looking for me when I’m not there.
“I think Dad will be out for a few days because he has some work to do? So you should stay home and listen to Mom. Okay? Cho, take good care of your younger siblings, Hyang, don’t make Mom suffer, and Bin, even if you miss Dad, just hold out for a few days.
Seol and Bing also listened to their older sister well.”
-Tsrrrr···.
-Kkuku!?
When I said that I had been somewhere, the tired voices of the Wukongs, who were always attached to my body and already knew the story, and the bewildered questions of Seol and Bingyi.
Even though the Wukongs knew, Seol-i and Bing-i seemed flustered, so they gave a rough explanation of why they were going out.
“I’m going to pick up my friends. Wouldn’t it be nice if you had friends too? I’ll be back soon, so listen to what your mom and sister say, okay?”
-Tsrrrr···.
-Kkuku···.
Let’s ask again. Goku and Seol reluctantly answer.
The five guys were easily persuaded, but soon the demon asked, as if asking what would happen to him.
-Kissit?
“Don’t worry, the remaining poisonous men will come to the well every morning to give you some yang energy. Just a few days…”
-Kishishi!
But before I could finish speaking, the fake body disguised as the fairy’s older sister crossed her arms and made a face of incomprehension.
With the cold expression of my favorite older sister.
Making it clear that you don’t like it.
Of course, we can understand why.
Yohwa doesn’t eat Yanggi every day, but occasionally, and since coming to Dangga, she refuses to put anything in her mouth other than what I give her.
According to the words of the craftsman and the grandfather of Mandokshin-gun, the records of the Tang family say that the Inmyeonjiju would catch a person, hang them on a tree, and suck their yang energy until they died, but strangely, the demon only ate one person’s yang energy.
I feel like I don’t eat other people’s energy unless I’m really hungry.
I begged the fairy earnestly.
“Can’t you please do something about it, Yo-hwa? I really need to go. Let me ask you this.”
Even in my past life, traveling was something I really wanted to do.
At the time, the insects, reptiles, and amphibians I was raising didn’t eat every day, so there was no problem for one or two days, but long-term travel was absolutely impossible.
When I went abroad to celebrate 1 million subscribers, I had to find someone to take care of my creatures before I could go on the trip.
But even now it was no different.
Even in my previous life, I could have just found someone to feed me and clean my cage for me, but now I have to ask for permission from intelligent children, so maybe it’s harder?
‘No, it might be harder than my previous life. At least I didn’t have to ask for permission from my children in my previous life. It wasn’t this hard to get permission from my older sister, who was confirmed to be my wife…’
In the end, only after begging and pleading with all his might to appease the evil spirit was he finally able to gain permission.
I didn’t know, but this guy really liked hugging fake bodies.
I hugged the fake body of the demon in a panic because he was so stubborn about not allowing it, but he seemed embarrassed and gave me permission.
“Please, my lord, I beg you to do this.”
-Hey, Kishi!
The cry of a demon telling me to please fall down, because I understand.
Anyway, after all the chaos yesterday, I received permission to go on an expedition today, but the guys who I thought were seeing me off with my older sister suddenly gathered around me as soon as we arrived in front of Gujinmun Gate.
-Tsururut!
-Kissit!
-Kkuku!

As soon as I stepped out of the gate, Seol-i, Bing-i, and Wukong rushed to me and tried to settle on my body.
Wukong and Seokchuk are not usually on good terms, fighting over Nana’s shoulders, but today, they gave in to each other and Wukong took his place on my right shoulder, and Seokchuk took his place on my left shoulder.
And the fairy hugging me from behind.
At first I thought this was a greeting.
I had the thought that since we would be apart for a while, he wanted to say hello.
“I feel sorry for the kids, but look at them. Little Dragon.”
Our expedition team, consisting of Grandfather, the Poison Squad, and the Poison Blood Squad, smiled very happily.
But even though I gave them enough time to see me off, these guys wouldn’t leave my body.
“Um… Kids? No, if you let them go, Daddy will go….”
Finally, after another round of arguments, the demon who had been holding me placed me on her back in a princess-like position and led the expedition.
-Kishi!
Pointing across the river and leading the way gives the feeling that you are taking the lead.
My sister spoke with a puzzled expression.
“Little Dragon, it looks like you want to go together?”
“Sir, no way. That’s what I said… I said the kids all understood?”
As I turned my head and checked my shoulders, wondering if that was possible, the guys were all nodding along.
‘No, why! I said I knew! You’re not saying you’re going to go with dad on his business trip?’
It seemed like these guys were really going to follow me.
***
No matter how much I tried to persuade them, I couldn’t get them to leave, so I had no choice but to take them with me.
For that reason, it seemed like the expedition team would eventually have to change its schedule and members, but it couldn’t take all the children with it.
It didn’t matter to the other kids, but the problem was the ghost.
Other children could just hide them in their bosoms or bring poisonous insects and venomous bugs like they usually do, but there was nothing they could do about the evil spirits.
If you walk around with a giant spider with a human body attached to it, you’re sure to get a lot of attention.
No, it wasn’t something that ended with just interest.
I heard from my older sister that there are legends about monsters spread throughout the folklore here, so it could be called a monster.
The fact that Wukong becomes a dragon is also based on that, so if something goes wrong, a punitive force could be organized and things like that.
The explanation was that the Yohwa, a poisonous creature with a human face, is especially dangerous because it is plagued by such rumors.
You may be questioned by local officials for making public sentiment unstable.
For that reason, I had no choice but to grab the demon again and ask for forgiveness.
“You can just hide the other ones in your arms, but our Yohwa is a bit bigger, so if you take her with you, other people will be surprised, so you can’t just take her with you.
Of course, this guy wants to take Yohwa with him. After all, she’s our pretty Yohwa. But after hearing Hwa-eun’s story, he says that Yohwa can be called a Yokai and thrown at with rocks or something.
“A fairy getting hit by a rock? Just imagining it makes me dizzy and terrified.”
Even though the fairy was upset, this was something that couldn’t be helped, so I had no choice but to explain it in detail. The fairy listened to what I said in silence, then turned around to look at her disguised older sister.
As if checking one’s own body.
‘Can you see that?’
I thought the eyes were just vestigial organs, but that doesn’t seem to be the case.
It was when I thought I was convinced by the appearance of the fairy looking at me objectively.
-Tsrrrr.
The body of the demon disappears as if erased with an eraser, with a strange sound.
“Huh!”
After a while, the body of the demon disappeared completely except for Pedipalp, who was disguised as his older sister.
“What, what!? What did you do, you yokai!? Where did all of our yokai’s pretty bodies go!?”
A shocking situation where the large spider body of a beautiful fairy disappears in an instant.
I ran with a surprised face and felt the space where the body disappeared, and felt the body of a fairy covered in fluffy fur at my fingertips.
Fortunately, it didn’t disappear completely.
It just became invisible.
“Oh, that’s surprising. By the way, is it possible for a demon to hide itself like this!?”
The spider body behind the fairy disappeared from sight, and if you just looked, its feet were slightly floating in the air. Now, the people who had their yang sucked by the fairy in Namgungga could clearly see why a fairy had appeared.
At the time, I thought it was just a hallucination, but when I saw a pretty woman floating slightly in the air, it turned out to be a fairy.
“You guys are the reason why there are so many surprising things.”
As I swept away my surprised heart, I heard the sound of a fairy tale.
-Tsurut?
He crossed his arms and raised his chin, which seemed to be an expression that said, “Is this okay now?”
The appearance of a demon who shows his firm will to follow by even showing off his ultimate skill.
I could only nod my head at the question that seemed to ask if it was okay now.
Anyway, it seemed like he was going to follow unconditionally.
“Okay, let’s go. Let’s go···”
***
Two days later.
Our expedition team inevitably had to add a sister.
There was no one to take care of the children other than Nana and her older sister, but when the children all followed, a sister had to be added automatically.
It was difficult for me to take care of all of them by myself, so my older sister had to participate.
“I guess I have to go after all.”
“I think that’s what it should be, Hwa-eun.”
“Everyone disobeyed their mothers and complained to their fathers, so you have to listen to them while traveling. Do you understand?”
My older sister gathered the children together and scolded them as I scratched my head with an apologetic expression.
The children nodded with expressions of understanding at their older sister’s admonition.
-Tsrrrr…
-Kkuku!
So, our group, which included half of the poison corps, half of the poison blood corps, and even the grandfather of the Mandokshin Army, along with my sister and the poisons, headed to Yunnan.
With a pounding heart, ready to catch and bring back a bunch of poisonous creatures.
The first destination is Banjihua (攀枝花), a village on the border of Sichuan and Yunnan, where the Golden Phoenix Kings were brought.
From there, we plan to go to Aileo Mountain via Kunming, the largest city in Yunnan.
I was passing by the Sichuan Chengdu and Emei Mountain in Sichuan with my steps hurried.
There was something like a checkpoint in the road, and when we arrived at the checkpoint, the nuns of the Amipa came out.
“Aren’t you from the Sacheon Dangga? Oh my, the Mandokshin-gun?”
The nuns are surprised by our appearance.
I was wondering why a checkpoint appeared out of nowhere, and it turns out that since the Blood Cult appeared, they’ve been doing checkpoints in the middle of the road like this.
There was talk that they were conducting security checks on the roads leading to each sect.
“I’m on my way to Yunnan on business. Can I stop by?”
“Of course, Your Majesty, the Mandokshin.”
The checkpoint was a free pass since our Mandokshin-gun grandfather, who farted a lot in the Central Plains martial arts world, was there, but when we were about to pass the checkpoint.
The nun who seemed to be in charge of the checkpoint shouted in a surprised voice.
“Wow, the empty path! It seems that Dokhwa has mastered the art of poetry and magic!”
The nuns who were questioning the woman were all shocked by her words.
When I asked what he meant, it turned out to be something he had said to the Pedipalp of the demon that was following behind him.
She looked like her older sister and her feet were slightly floating in the air, so it seemed like she had learned some great lightness technique.
The reason why this happened was because in the Central Plains, there was a superstition that twins were as ominous as monsters, so the older sister was walking next to the monster wearing a man’s uniform with her face completely covered with cotton.
So I mistook that thing floating in the air for my older sister.
Later, I heard my grandfather’s explanation that the flight over land is the final stage of light flight in which one flies in the sky, but since they move like ghosts with their feet floating in the air, the nuns must have been mistaken.
Although we had a few similar incidents during our journey, we had no problem reaching Yunnan, and eventually we arrived at a place called Yimen near Ainui Mountain.
“Is that Aenoesan Mountain? I’m really looking forward to it, Dokmulgok.”
Aenosan Mountain is visible in front of me.
If there is a poison song, it would be heaven for me.
We were looking forward to the Dokmulgok with a pounding heart, but as soon as we arrived at the station, we felt something strange.
As soon as I entered the area called Yeokmun, I could not hear any sounds, including the crickets that I would hear at night, the cicadas that would chirp during the day, the birds that would chirp, and even the howling of animals.
While moving around, I was occasionally collecting insects for samples, but I couldn’t see a single one of those insects.
There was no living thing anywhere, not under the rocks, not in the crevices of the rocks, not on the trees.
It was as if someone had wiped it out.
“How strange. How is it that you feel the same way as when you went to capture Qingbanwu Gong?”
At Grandfather’s words, Gupae Daeju and Dokhyeol Daeju nodded with serious expressions, but it was not serious, it was good news.
‘No, it’s not serious, it’s just good news?’
