Twenty-Four Poisons 7
What can you do when the difficulty of the raid is this crazy?
As the squad leader, I had to manage the aggro ping-pong of the squad members like a knife.
However, since I was still lacking in martial arts, I couldn’t participate in the deal while also giving orders, so I decided to step away from the deal, observe the situation, and give a signal when the timing was right.
If you make even the slightest mistake, it can lead to immediate death.
‘Huh. I thought the commander was just playing around in his previous life, but it was the hardest thing ever.’
With my nerves on high alert, I was trying to drain the guy’s energy by calling out the aggro order for a long time.
The order of Seol’s return.
“Sister Seol! Get out!”
It was the moment when Seol Nuni, who had entered after Hwa-eun, had to come out and then one of the warriors of the Beast Palace had to enter.
The moment I told my sister to step back.
“Ugh!”
Seol’s sister stumbles as she steps on the pebbles that have popped up in strange shapes due to the writhing of the nobleman.
Seol Nui, who was flying backwards, staggered, and the time it took her to escape was slightly delayed.
‘Oh my god! Every raid has to watch out for the floor!’
Sister Seol has forgotten the basics of raiding: be careful of the floor.
Although Seol, who was an expert, was able to regain her balance right away, one moment of mistake by Seol was fatal.
-Shaaaaa!
-Thud.
The sage turned his body around and wrapped it around his sister’s staggering body, and her slender waist was wrapped around his torso, tightening as if he were pulling a cable tie.
Then, as the guy quickly began to wrap his whole body around Seol’s sister, a groan of pain burst out from Seol’s mouth.
“Gyah!”
“Sister Seol!”
“Elder!”
“Sister Seol!”
The urgent cries of the people.
A guy who straightens his head above his sister Seol’s head.
The guy’s mouth began to gape wide.
A situation where Sister Seol could be seriously injured or lose her life.
A spurt of saliva fell from the man’s gaping mouth and landed on his sister’s head.
-Thud. Thud.
“This won’t work! Back off!”
-Wow!
Grandfather waved his double swords with a huge energy as if he could do anything about the death of the Heavenly Goddess, but when the dust cleared, the sight of the seemingly healthy guy still gaping at his sister Seol was revealed.
It felt like the guy’s scales were harder than I thought, and I could only stop for a moment.
-Shaaaaa!
When the guy who got hit by his grandfather glared at his grandfather once and slowly opened his mouth towards Seol’s sister’s head, trying to swallow her.
“Sister Seol!”
I immediately took out the sack the demon had made from my bosom and leaped towards the guy’s head from the rock.
I thought that since it was a tear-proof pouch, putting it on the guy’s head might prevent his sister from getting bitten.
-Flutter.
I jumped out with the pouch made by the demon, as if opening a parachute.
As I fell from the rock, I caught sight of the guy’s gaping mouth, and just before he could bite my sister, I managed to put a bag over his head just in time.
“Okay!”
-Kyaaaa!
A guy who starts squirming like crazy when you put a bag on his head.
I was hanging on with my bag on, but I couldn’t hold out much longer against the guy’s struggles and eventually fell to the floor.
“Ugh!”
-Shaaaaa!
-Shaaaaa!
But the moment they put the bag on the guy’s head, something strange happened.
The pouch the demon had created was so thin that you could see through it to the other side, but the creature was screaming warning sounds in all directions and shaking its head madly over the sack.
Strange behavior, as if one had lost one’s sense of direction.
Then the guy threw his sister Seol and immediately floated up to his head.
“Are you okay, Sister Seol?”
“Sister!”
And while he was looking after his sister, the guy who had been shaking his head in the air for a while and throwing off his sack quickly began to move away towards the other side of the valley.
“My body is aching, but I’m fine. What about Yong-i? He got hit hard.”
“Ugh. I’m fine too.”
The shoulder that was hit was sore, but not seriously injured.
A sack fell from the sky fluttering and fell over my head.
The 21st attempt also failed like this.
***
“I almost got in big trouble earlier. Are you okay, Elder Seol?”
“I’m okay, sir. It’s because Ryong saved me. Thank you, Ryong.”
“Thank you. We’re family.”
“Oh my, our dragon has impressed this sister so many times today. He even saved this sister’s life… That’s why we are family.”
“No, I understand you’re grateful, but it’s not right for family to be so clingy.”

“But we’re family?”
He returned to the campsite, pulling away his sister who was clinging to him with her arms linked and thanking him for saving his life.
The 21st raid was also a failure, but the atmosphere wasn’t bad.
Isn’t it true that camaraderie is formed through repeated failures?
“Little Dragon saved the elder from being seriously injured today.”
“Little Dragon?”
“You saved the elder who slipped and fell on a stone from the mouth of the Heavenly God.”
“Oh, as expected. It’s you, Little Dragon.”
Moreover, because I saved my older sister, the Beast Palace warriors showed more affection for me than before.
We sat around a campfire, roasted a wild boar that the warriors had brought, and decided to investigate the cause of the 21st failure as before.
Originally, when a raid fails, it was a national rule to gather together, find out the cause of the failure, and discuss what to do next time.
“Today was a pretty smooth day, as far as quickly diverting the guy’s attention elsewhere.”
“By the way, I have to be careful with the floor from now on.”
“That’s right, Hwa-eun. The rocks that rose from the ground because of that guy made it difficult to use the magic.”
But as people continued talking, I was lost in thought.
What I held in my hands in front of the campfire was, in one hand, wild boar meat, and in the other, a pouch made by a demon.
That’s because the mystery of why the guy was so flustered when he put this on his head earlier kept coming back to me.
I placed the pork back on the heated stone and turned the bag over.
The view was slightly blurry, but clear.
‘What could it be?’
Since it seemed like there was no reason for such an arrogant guy to be flustered by something like this, I decided to first investigate the strange aspects of his behavior.
‘It definitely felt like I couldn’t see ahead.’
There are three ways in which an animal called a snake perceives objects.
First, the sound.
It is said that snakes cannot hear because their auditory organs have degenerated, but this is half true and half false.
You can’t exactly hear the sound, but you can feel the sound and react to it.
Snakes are the ones that can feel sound waves in the air with their whole body.
The use of sound waves as an auxiliary means of detecting living things.
Well, except for some large snakes, snakes are said to be timid and move in the opposite direction when they hear a sound.
Next is the smell.
Snakes can also recognize objects by smell, which is why their tongues are forked and why they constantly flick their tongues.
This is because they use their forked tongues to catch odor particles in the air and send them to an organ called the Jacobson’s organ, which detects the source of the odor.
The forked tongue is a result of evolution to detect the direction from which a smell comes.
And the view.
Snakes don’t have very good eyesight.
It is barely able to distinguish things that are close by, so it has a separate special ability.
Special cells called Golei cells, located in the pits beneath the snake’s eyes, have the ability to detect infrared light.
Being able to feel and detect infrared radiation coming from living things, just like in an alien horror movie.
‘Wait a minute? Could this be it?’
I was just finishing thinking about snakes’ infrared vision.
When I turned over the pouch that the fairy had made for me, I saw the guy panicking as if he couldn’t see anything, and then a scene from a movie I had seen in my past life came to mind.
“What does Soryong think? Soryong?”
“What are you doing, Yong-ah?”
Seol-nu and Hwa-eun knew that I was lost in my own thoughts and shook their bodies on either side, but I quickly ran to Yo-hwa, who was climbing a large tree nearby, and shouted.
“Hey, come down and see!”
A fairy who descends upside down from a tree via a spider web.
The fairy tilted her head at the face of Hwa-eun hanging upside down.
-Kissit?
A look that asks why I called.
He caught the demon in the form of a firefly and asked.
“Honey, can you wrap me up in a spider web for me?”
-Hey, Kishishi?
“Ryong-ah, are you going to close it?”
“Little Dragon, do you want me to wrap it up? Why all of a sudden?”
At my request, Yohwa, Seolnui, and Hwaeun looked surprised and couldn’t understand.
***
“Can this really work?”
“So, aren’t you going to go check it out now?”
“This is the first time in my entire life that I’ve seen something like this.”
In the middle of the night, Grandfather Mandokshin-gun and I were walking up the valley, performing light exercises to find Bicheon Shrine.
The old man looked down at himself and shook his head.
The reason my grandfather made that kind of expression was because both he and I were now in a state similar to a pure white human body model.
Because it is densely coated with spider webs of demonic powers, it is wrapped in spider webs of demonic powers from head to toe.
I asked the fairy to make a web for me and she did, but I needed someone else to test it and it had to be my grandfather, the strongest of us all, so he also became like me.
It was when I was flying up the valley with my grandfather, who was grumbling like that.
In the distance, I saw the figure of a monk lying on a rock on a cliff jutting out from the top of a valley.
[Over there!]
[I saw it too. Let’s go then.]
We quickly flew towards the rock where the guy was lying.
It was when I reached the guy’s maximum detection range.
The guy lifted his head and looked in our direction.
[Did I get caught?]
After twenty-one raids, the maximum distance at which the guy can identify us is about thirty to a hundred meters.
This was a difficult situation, so Grandfather Mandokshin whispered in a panicked voice, but the boy soon tilted his head and buried it back into his body.
And although it occasionally raised its head as we cautiously approached inside, it did not detect our presence until we were within a dozen meters.
Even though I raised my head several times and our eyes met.
[That’s true!]
The grandfather sent the message with a surprised voice.
He motioned for his grandfather to step back a little, then grabbed a rock from the ground and hurled it at the guy’s head.
I too have mastered the beginner level of the Tang dynasty’s secret techniques.
A target of that size at this distance is a 100% hit.
-Ouch.
A rock slammed straight into the guy’s head, startling him and making him hiss at the surroundings.
-Shhhh!
-Shhh!
But then what can you do?
He is a blind man with his eyes open.
The guy who had been looking around for a while tilted his head when he didn’t find us before putting his head on the ground again.
But when the boy became quiet, the grandfather, perhaps resentful of all the hardships he had endured, picked up a rock again and threw it at the boy’s head.
-Bam!
-Kyaaaaah!
The sound of rocks crashing and the creature’s angry howls echo through the valley late at night.
After being stoned by us a couple more times, the guy couldn’t stand it any longer and flew away to somewhere else.
As soon as the guy disappeared, the laughter of Grandfather Mandokshin, who had been holding back until then, could be heard.
“Hahaha! That’s refreshing! You little bastard!”
It seemed like he was having fun teasing the lowly gentleman, but then he burst out laughing and turned to me and asked,
“Yeah, so that’s what you said was going to happen?”
“Snakes like the Heavenly God originally do not have good eyesight. Because of that, they have the ability to sense the warmth coming from the bodies of animals or people, but perhaps this spider web of this fairy flower blocks that.”
“How on earth did you figure that out?”
“When Sister Seol was in danger and I put my pocket on him, didn’t he run away in a panic? That’s when I remembered it.”
There was a scene in a movie about aliens where the main character puts mud on himself to escape infrared vision, and I wondered if the spider web of the fairy tale had that effect, and it was indeed true.
Asbestos is said to block infrared equipment, and it looked similar to that.
“So, how do I catch it now?”
He answered his grandfather’s question with a smile.
“If you cover all the warriors with spider webs and follow him around, depriving him of food and sleep, how long do you think he can last?”
‘I won’t sleep and will stalk you until I catch you. This is my punishment for making you suffer all this time.’
My plan was met with a dangerous smile from my grandfather, Mandokshingun.
“that···.”
“that?”
“What a great method. Hahaha.”
***
-thud!
The staggering guy eventually collapsed on the side of the valley.
I covered all the warriors in spider webs and followed them around for six days, so what can I do?
If you try to hunt a snake, throw a rock to chase the snake away. If you try to drink water, throw a rock to prevent you from drinking. If you try to sleep, throw a rock to prevent you from sleeping. No matter how strong a creature is, all living things need to eat, drink, and sleep.
In the end, the guy was hit by rocks falling like hail, took a few sips of water and lay down on the riverbank.
I feel like I’ve passed out and fallen asleep.
A guy who doesn’t react at all even if you approach him gently and touch him gently.
He walked up to the guy, patted his head, and laughed.
“Hahahahaha!”
The head of the twenty-four-dog flying serpent was now mine.
