Poison Valley 5
My grandfather was following behind with his troops, so I’m the one in charge of this place for now.
In response to the man’s question, he stepped forward and gave a winning ticket.
“Excuse me, Daehyeop. We are the people of Sacheondangga.”
“Sacheon Dangga? How can the Dangga be so deep in the jungles of Yunnan?”
The gaze alternately glanced at me and the demon holding my leash while asking questions.
Perhaps because he felt that he couldn’t have a serious conversation in this state, his older sister stepped forward and answered instead.
“I am the direct descendant of the Sacheon Dang family, my father is the head of the Dang family. I had no intention of invading the land of the Beast Palace. We were just catching poisonous creatures in the forests of Yunnan.”
My older sister apologized and explained our situation, but when she stepped forward, Yohwa and my older sister stood on my left and right.
The man’s eyes widened at the sight of the identical older sisters standing on his left and right.
“Wow, twins? The people of the Central Plains would consider twins to be inauspicious, so how come…”
‘Is it more counterproductive…?’
But the man quickly came to his senses and answered.
“Oh, excuse me, my lady. I am the Black Wolf of the Southern Man Beast Palace. I understand why. However, this is the land of the Beast Palace, so please go back now.”
“Are you saying that this area is the land of the Beast Palace?”
“Yes. This is the Wild Beast Valley.”
Valley (谷) has several meanings in Chinese, but it usually means a narrow valley, ravine, or narrow road.
I looked at the hill behind me at the man’s answer.
If the man said that Beast Valley meant a canyon or valley, then it was in a very dangerous state right now.
Because it was in the path of the Beast Palace and the Army Ants.
Moreover, if it was narrow and long, it would have been a very dangerous situation.
If the back was blocked by a mountain, this was a very serious situation.
“Hwaeun···.”
When I looked at my sister’s face with an expression that seemed to suggest that I should give her a warning, my sister nodded.
I spoke straight to the man who appeared to be in charge.
“Black Wolf Grandmaster, before you retreat, there is a great danger approaching from behind, so I must warn you.”
“Compatibility? Warning?”
A man tilts his head and looks at me puzzled when the words “compatibility” and “warning” come up.
He said, pointing to the hill behind him.
This is something that is better seen for yourself than explained in words.
“Let’s climb up the hill and see.”
At my words, the man gestured to his men, and two warriors ran up the hill at the man’s command, then looked down the hill and were shocked with expressions of disbelief.
“What is this!?”
“Oh, my goodness! Come and see for yourself!”
A man who looked at my face once at the men’s surprised cries and then quickly ran away.
My sister and I followed, and as expected, when we reached the top of the hill, the man let out a cry of disbelief.
Because under the red sunset, ants were slowly forming a ball, shining a bright red light.
“W-what on earth is this!?”
An expression of disbelief at the strange sight seen for the first time.
-Beep!
As soon as the man came to his senses and took out his flute and played it, men holding lanterns and beasts began to rush out from far away inside the Beast Valley.
I asked my older sister why there were so many beasts, and she said that the Beast Palace was the best pet breeding organization in and outside of the Central Plains.
‘Is this similar?’
The story was that it was a place where people with similar hobbies gathered, although they only raised different animals.
***
According to my older sister, the people of the Nanman Wild Beast Palace belong to the Sewae Moorim (塞外武林) and are not very friendly to the people of the Central Plains, but we were guided relatively kindly into the Nanman Wild Beast Palace.
Along with a request to explain in detail what happened to the ants spread out outside.
“Is this the Beast Valley of the Beast Palace?”
“It will be the first visit in a hundred years for the Tang family.”
As you enter the Beast Valley where the sun is setting, the first thing that catches your eye is a large circular open space.
We were greeted by a large, circular open space covered with gentle grass, with a single, tall, pointed rock in the center.
It looked like a huge open space with several soccer fields connected together.
Judging from the sparkling eyes of wild beasts here and there in the empty space, it seemed like the wolves that the man named Heukrang had brought out earlier were scattered here and there.
The sky is still hazy.
After passing that huge circular open space, a smaller but equally large space appears next.
There, the lights were already brightly lit here and there.
A row of eco-friendly buildings that look like beast palaces and houses where people live.
It looks like two circles connected.
The outer perimeter of the circular clearing was covered with sharp rocks that rose high like a folding screen, obscuring the inside of the valley.
“The place we just passed is a pasture where we raise wild beasts in our Beast Palace, and this is where people live. Beast Valley is shaped like a gourd.”
“Is it possible that the back is also blocked by rocks like this?”
“That’s right. The back is a rocky mountain, so it can be called a natural fortress.”
So, the explanation of the person named Heukrang is that this Beast Valley is shaped like a gourd, and the surrounding terrain is made up of steep rocks that rise up, so if you just block the entrance, it will become a natural fortress.
But that’s the case when dealing with people, the saying goes that when army ants come rushing in, it’s like a rat in a trap.
‘I have a bad feeling about this. I need to explain quickly and get out.’
I didn’t feel good about it, but we’ll give a warning and leave right away, and these people can evacuate quickly.
Thinking that nothing much could happen, I followed Black Wolf’s guidance and entered the largest building.
Then, what came into view was a round table, and in the center of the table, a large chair was lying on a hopi, and a man with a huge body who looked like he had worked out was leaning deeply against it.

On either side of the man, two black panthers bared their teeth at us.
-Krrrr.
And next to him, several men and women sat on chairs, each holding a different animal.
“Come in. I am the fierce tiger, the princess of the Beast Palace. And next to you are our elders.”
“Nice to meet you, Your Highness. And I am the elder of the Beast Palace, Weisulong of the Sacheondangga.”
“Nice to meet you. My name is Dang Hwa-eun from Sacheon Dangga.”
The princess looked at the demon standing behind us who had followed us here, but when she replied that she could not speak, he nodded.
“You can’t speak? I understand. Anyway, you are welcome. I understand that we cannot serve guests because of those outside.”
“You don’t have to worry about it.”
As we sat down to face each other, what was placed on our table was not tea, but a few army ants that had been caught without us noticing.
There were a few crushed ants on a plate, and the princess of the Beast Palace asked while looking at the army ants.
“What on earth are these and how did they get here?”
Beast Princess Maengho nodded in response to her question and explained what had happened.
“We came to Yunnan to catch poisonous creatures.”
“Um… I know that the Tang family sometimes comes to Yunnan to catch poisonous creatures. So?”
“At first, I went to a place called Dokmulgok, but there wasn’t a single poisonous fish in there.
Not only the poison, but also all living beasts and insects were gone. At first, I thought it might be some kind of giant poison, but while investigating the land where the beasts and insects had disappeared, I found these guys and followed them here.”
“What the hell is this? It’s definitely a demon. I’ve never seen one this big before.”
The Beast Princess lifts the red ant’s leg and makes a face of incomprehension.
“This is the first time our family has seen this kind of magic. We named it the military magic because it marches like an army.”
“Army magic···.”
The princess of the Beast Palace who chews on the name of the military doctor.
The princess immediately asked me for my opinion.
“Even if it’s the first time you’ve seen it, the Sacheondang family would know much more about poison and poisonous substances than we do. So, what should we do?”
‘What can I do? I have to jump out.’
Although each ant is a very insignificant creature, the real fear of ants is the colony.
Ants are the ones who move forward without fear or dread of death, driven by pheromones, hunting everything that appears in front of them.
So when you’re facing such a group, you have only one choice.
refuge.
“You must evacuate the people as soon as possible before daybreak. The demons will stop there when the sun sets, but when daybreak comes, they will rush into this Beast Valley.”
In a previous life, the indigenous people of the area where army ants lived said that if army ants marched into the village, they would evacuate for a while.
If it was possible for such small ants to march, then against such a large army of ants, there was no choice but to flee.
“Are you talking about evacuation?”
The princess of the Beast Palace raised a question at my words to evacuate, and the other elders shouted in a voice that it was nonsense.
“Refuge? Refuge from our land of three hundred years?”
“Are you telling me to run away because I’m scared of the devil!?”
“Their jaws are sharp, but they could easily kill a criminal wielding a club. And they even evacuated? That’s too much···.”
If you had seen the ants hunting, you wouldn’t have said anything like that, you fearless elders of the Beast Palace.
I quickly explained further.
I had a feeling that I would end up preying on ants.
If ants prey on them, their numbers will only increase.
“The demons don’t touch anything except food, so buildings and other things will be safe.
“I heard from the Black Wolf Master on my way here that if the entrance is blocked, you will never be able to get out, so I recommend that you evacuate people quickly before the entrance is blocked.”
But there seemed to be a belligerent among the elders, for one woman snorted toward me and said:
“Hmph! My Lady, there are many demons, but if you give me five hundred flying wolves, I will wipe them all out. They are just a lot in number, not much.”
Dark skin with dark eyebrows.
A woman who looks quite young for an elder.
Judging from the name Birang, it seemed to be a wolf, but it was obvious that a dog that wags its tail when scared and a fearless army ant would lose if they fought each other.
He looked at the elder and answered in a pitiful voice.
“If the five hundred Birangs are referring to the five hundred wolves, then all of those wolves will become food for the devil in an instant.”
Then the female elder glared with an expression of incredulity.
“Do you dare to ignore the Southern Manchu Palace’s Birang right now!? Your Majesty, please allow me to display the Southern Manchu Palace’s Thousand Wolf Extermination to this man from the Central Plains!”
The older sister’s urgent cries are heard along with the woman’s anger.
[Little Dragon, that’s rude!]
Looking around, the expression on the Beast Princess’ face wasn’t very good, so she quickly got up from her seat and explained while waving a flag to the people around her.
“I had no intention of ignoring you. However, I have heard that the Southern Manchu Palace cherishes its beasts very much. Wouldn’t it be really sad if the beasts that were raised with such care were injured or died?
“Those demons advance without fear, and once they bite, they never let go. Even if you win, you will definitely suffer great damage.”
Then the woman laughed again and said,
“Huh! They say the Central Plains people are so cruel that they even eat the dogs they raise, but they pretend to care about the children we raise.”
‘No, that guy. I’m the same kind, just a different kind!’
I don’t know if I’d be accused of anything else, but being questioned and criticized for my feelings towards my pet?
I couldn’t stand this.
Because that’s my identity.
So I looked at the elder and answered in a firm voice.
“That is very rude of me to say that just now. I, Wei Xiaolong, will prove that what I just said was not a lie.”
“proof?”
“Huh? Proof?”
When the princess of the Beast Palace tilts her head and the woman snorts again.
He said, crossing his arms.
“Come out, kids.”
-Tsrrrr.
-Kuk kuk?
At my scream, Cho, Hyang, Bin-i, Seol, and Bing-i, who had been hiding by holding onto my body and the hem of my sister’s skirt, crawled up onto my shoulders, and the demon revealed its hidden body.
-Kishi!
Then, the people of the Beast Palace were shocked with eyes of disbelief.
“This. This is! Goku!?”
“Stone pick!”
“Oh, you’re a landowner bigger than a person!”
He said it again, showing me how to use the sling to circle my body and go up over my head.
“These children are also my children. Of course, I know how much it hurts when the children I raised get sick or hurt.”
Then the woman who had been snorting and ignoring me asked with an expression of disbelief.
“Th, those are···?”
This showed how much this little dragon cares about his pets, so he answered with a smile.
“That’s it. These kids are my companions. They all have names, so please don’t treat them like objects.”
Then, the corners of the Beast Palace Princess’ mouth went up and she nodded her head in satisfaction, and the other elders’ gazes turned very friendly.
That’s because all people who raise pets have the same mindset.
