Poison Valley 6
“Companion poison?”
In an atmosphere that has changed to one of favorability.
The one word I said seemed to have caused a huge stir in the Beast Palace.
The Beast Princess and the elders nodded their heads with expressions of mixed admiration and regret.
“Does it mean a poison that becomes a lifelong partner? Even in our Beast Palace, where we cherish beasts, no one uses the word companion… How can a person from the Central Plains….”
“Isn’t that a truly great attitude? I want my disciples in the palace to follow suit. I’ve been having trouble lately with some disciples who treat animals like servants. How can such a talented person be in the Tang family…”
“It’s really a shame that he’s the son-in-law of the Tang family. He’s a small-time thief who fits our Beast Palace.”
“I thought it was a strange thing that the Black Wolf was holding a leash for a woman. If the person holding the leash was the landlord and his companion, does that mean they are each other’s masters!? Is there such a deep meaning?”
‘No, teacher, wasn’t that a misunderstanding at the end?’
It seemed like there was some misunderstanding, but anyway, the result was good.
Because I proved that I was a hidden fanboy, the animal nerds accepted me as one of their own.
Reptiles and insects are my specialty, but they are grouped into the larger category of beasts and animals.
‘Hey, hey, you were a poisonous creature? Brother. If you’re a poisonous creature, then I’ll admit it. You’re the same animal, after all.’
I feel like I can hear the voice of their hearts.
And is that why it proves that they are of the same category?
The princess made a decision faster than expected.
He could have just dodged as I said, but he realized that there was no need to fight and die or get hurt, so he gave the order right away.
“If you are a pet owner who refers to the children you raise as companions, you can see how great your heart is to protect poisonous creatures. If the advice you gave us came from that kind of heart, you can see how much it was thought for our good, so we will make a decision.
Didn’t you say that the demons move when the sun rises? Even if you can definitely sweep them away like you said, it would be right to avoid any unnecessary damage.
Buildings can be rebuilt, but people and animals will never return.
“Gather everyone in the palace before the Beast Princess’s Hall! I will prepare for evacuation!”
The elders who had previously expressed different opinions all nodded in agreement at the princess’s words.
Even the most rebellious woman sent me a message.
[So-hyeop, I’m sorry. I didn’t know that So-hyeop was such a sincere person. I apologize for my slip of the tongue.]
He said it with a look of slight respect.
Then came the elders’ loud reply.
“I will obey your command, my lady!”
“Yes! Your Majesty!”
As soon as the princess’s order was given, the large entrance to the Beast Palace Hall through which we had entered opened wide on both sides, and an elder ran out through the entrance holding a sheep horn hanging on the palace hall wall.
And then, from the entrance of the palace, a majestic trumpet sound began to resonate.
-Booooow.
The majestic, double-horned trumpet sound that seems to vibrate the inside of the beast and the chest.
As the sound of the trumpet rang out through the valley, the outside seemed to brighten, and all the people and animals inside the valley, holding lanterns, crowded into the entrance to the palace.
From leopards to eagles, owls, bears, wolves, monkeys, wild boars and deer.
There were quite a few different beasts wedged in between the people, and as the people and beasts crowded into the entrance, the Beast Princess walked out in front of the palace and shouted at the people with a voice full of internal energy.
“All Beast Palace members and beasts, prepare to evacuate! We will only be taking refuge for a short while until the demons retreat, so prepare food and simple clothing, and gather back here in an hour!”
Concise and to the point.
At the princess’s shout, the people gathered in front shouted in unison.
“““Understood, Your Majesty!”””
And they quickly dispersed into the village and began preparing to evacuate.
So the people’s evacuation preparations began, and as the princess turned around and returned to the Beast Palace, questions poured in at the same time.
“Gukong, Seokcheok, and even Jiju. Yes, those poisonous creatures, how did those children come to be raised?”
“I know that insects are different from animals and cannot understand human speech, so how can these children understand the speech of the common people?”
“I’ve tried to raise a stone statue several times in the main palace, but I’ve failed every time. That’s amazing!”
Since there are only people here who are serious about animals, they showed interest in seeing new types of children.
But before I could answer anything, the princess came out and cleared the air of the commotion.
“It’s urgent now, so let’s all help evacuate, and we’ll talk to Sohyeop separately later.”
“Ahem… I understand, Your Majesty.”
“All right.”
Immediately, the elders also ran out of the palace to help with the evacuation, looking somewhat regretful.
***
Since we informed the palace of the approaching threat, the palace offered to give us a gift as a token of their gratitude.
However, since we are currently busy preparing for evacuation, he said he would send a separate envoy to the party.
“Is it right to present you with a grand reward and a lavish welcome right away? Given the current situation, I will personally send someone to your family later to express my gratitude. I am truly sorry.”
“I did what a human being should do···.”
“Oh my, even beasts repay favors, so are you planning to make our Beast Palace worse than the beasts!?”
‘I also declined out of politeness.’
“Then, I will gratefully accept it.”
“Then, that’s what it should be.”
Anyway, since I’m being given an award, I should accept it gratefully.
I pretended not to be able to win and answered that I understood, then headed to the entrance of Beast Valley.
Now, we too should slowly step back.
“Then, we will take our leave now.”
“We will escort you to the entrance of Beast Valley.”
The Beast Palace was in a state of chaos due to preparations for evacuation, but the Beast Palace Lady and several elders offered to escort us to the entrance.
We took them with us and headed to the entrance of Beast Valley where we had come from.
“Ah, so this is the Qing Ban Wukong?”

“Yes, the stone claws don’t have a separate name in the Central Plains, so we named them Seolbingseokcheok. They emit cold air.”
“If you breathe out cold air, you must be a spirit!? I envy you. Your name is so similar to mine, I really want you.”
The woman who followed us to the entrance and asked us questions about this and that was the most aggressive woman just now.
It turned out that she was a woman named Seolpyo (雪豹), who was an elder and the daughter of a princess.
In Korean, it means snow leopard, but she is a woman with dark skin, so she is more like a black leopard than a snow leopard.
The reason the surnames are different is because here, people don’t use names and instead use animal nicknames.
They were people who truly cared about animals.
Well, I understand, since I also had a nickname called Spicy Fabre in my past life.
“Yes, and the landlord is a human-faced landlord. The reason he has the appearance of Hwaeun is because he has the appearance that people who have sucked up yang energy consider the most beautiful.”
“Oh my! Then? Lady Hwa-eun, you must really like it!”
“Yes, what···.”
My older sister blushes at the sight of Seol-pyo’s envious gaze.
It was understandable that my older sister felt embarrassed.
Every time I suck the yang energy from the fairy, it becomes an appeal that I think my sister is the most beautiful, so this indirectly means that I confess every day that my sister is the most beautiful woman.
As we were talking to the snow leopard, we almost reached the entrance to Beast Valley.
As I was about to say goodbye and leave for the last time, I suddenly heard the howling of an animal that I had only heard at the zoo in my past life.
-Phew! Phew!
“Cow, cow, if you have a baby, I will… Is this an elephant!?”
If it’s a prize, it’s a word that means elephant in the Central Plains.
‘Brother God is here?’
It was said that Asian elephants originally lived in the Central Plains, and that wild elephants occasionally appeared in the southern part of the country in the past, so it was not surprising, but the snow leopard was the first to react to the sound of elephants crying, whether it was a familiar elephant or not.
A snow leopard quickly runs forward, leaving us behind.
But for some reason, the snow leopard stopped moving forward a few steps.
And when the snow leopard that had been running forward looked up at the hill with a blank expression, immediately two elephants poked their heads out from the hill.
-Thump···. Thump···. Thump···.
Two large elephants appear under the moonlight.
It was the awesome majesty of the Godkiri brothers, the kings of the animal kingdom.
But upon closer inspection, the two elephants were not normal.
In the moonlight, there was a swarm of bright red ants climbing onto the elephant’s back and buttocks.
-Shoot!
“Oh, my goodness!”
A swarm of ants had already clung to the elephant’s back, their teeth sinking into it.
Ants were also swarming behind the elephant.
The snow leopard, surprised by the sight, takes a step back, wondering where the momentum from before had gone.
The elephants ran towards us, howling as if they were asking for help, but eventually collapsed near the entrance to Beast Valley.
-thud!
-Phew!
Finally, an elephant extends its trunk towards us as if asking for help.
But the guys were torn to pieces and turned into meatballs.
An elephant’s bones revealed in real time.
The people of the Beast Palace widened their eyes in surprise, not knowing that their great-grandfather would become like that.
“Oh, my God!”
“The prize is over there at once!”
“So what Sohyeop said was true···.”
But it wasn’t a time to be completely surprised.
“Now is not the time to hurry! We don’t know how the demons will move, so right now…”
The guys following the elephant must have been hunting for a small number of sheep, so the entrance wasn’t blocked yet.
That’s why I said that we should hurry and evacuate before their main force moves, but I sighed when the Beast Princess pointed to the hill.
“I guess it’s too late···.”
-Shoot!
The fingertips that the princess is pointing at.
The main force of ants, which had been pushing down from the hill, had completely blocked the entrance to the Beast Valley, following the hunting party that had come down to hunt the elephants.
***
“This is a big deal···.”
“Should we fight if it comes to this…?”
“But the prize is over there all at once···.”
As the entrance was completely blocked, the elders who had been insisting on fighting earlier also looked confused.
It seemed that fear welled up in him as he saw his brother, the strongest in the animal kingdom, disappear right before his eyes.
The Beast Palace is a place where you can imitate the appearance of animals or perform martial arts with animals.
But I feel a little discouraged because even the strongest of the animals, Godkiri, was defeated so easily.
My older sister also spoke with a serious expression next to me.
“What should I do? Little Dragon? There’s poison outside…”
“If they had not known the fear of the devil, they would have fled across the river.”
“I guess so?”
My sister has a puzzled expression on her face as she looks at the entrance.
My older sister was worried about the poisonous snake, but she had told the old lord and the other warriors to stay by the riverside, so if it had become dangerous, they would have crossed the river and escaped, so there was nothing to worry about.
But we’re worried.
“How do I get out of here···.”
That was when I was worrying so much.
-Kissit!
The voice of a fairy is heard.
When I turned my head, I saw the demon quickly climbing up the cliff and looking towards us.
‘That’s right! There was a fairy tale, right? People don’t have to die, right?’
Clearly, if the fairy had cast a spider web or carried me on her back, my sister and I would have survived.
When I was rejoicing that there was a hole to emerge from even if the sky fell, I saw my sister’s bewildered expression.
‘what?’
A way out had appeared, but when I turned my head in the opposite direction of where my sister was looking, seeing her expression looking more flustered than before, the Beast Princess and the elders of the Beast Palace were making awkward expressions.
And people who avoid eye contact when you make eye contact.
When I think about it, this was a very uncomfortable situation.
Because it was a situation where my sister and I had to leave them all behind and escape alone.
Even if we were to do our best and help the ants climb the cliff by throwing spiderwebs, how many of the Beast Palace residents, including children and animals, could be saved before the ants moved again?
If you were to abandon animals and save their lives, no one would say it’s a good idea.
‘Even if we live alone, this is a situation that I will think about for the rest of my life. What should I do?’
At the end of a long corridor of about 100 meters, ants are seen gnawing on elephant bones.
I was blankly staring at the guys, trying to recall memories from my past life that might be helpful.
When the moon was covered by clouds and the surroundings were suddenly darkened, a memory from Fabre’s encyclopedia in my head came to mind.
‘That’s right! There was a way to survive!’
I approached and asked my peers whom I met for the first time in the Central Plains.
“Excuse me, Your Majesty.”
Then a calm reply is heard.
“Don’t worry about us, Sohyeop. Just leave quickly. Sohyeop has fully kept his duty.”
“Yes. Small group. In the world of beasts, eating and being eaten is a natural thing. Our Beast Palace is also a part of the world, so if we can’t defeat them, we will be eaten.”
Didn’t they say there are no bad people among those who like animals?
He asked with a smile.
“Hey, there’s a way for everyone to survive. Would you like to hear it?”
Because I thought that if we did well, there would be a way for everyone to survive.
It seemed like I was going to have a hard time.
