Secret Cave 1
Certainly, an investigation into the misreading was necessary.
Both the Tang family and the Beast Palace knew that they had been wiped out a hundred years ago, but now their traces have been discovered.
Moreover, the guys have already made the first move.
The last stronghold of these guys was known to be this jungle of Yunnan, so it seemed that Mandushin-gun’s grandfather and adoptive father were probably planning to conduct a joint investigation before the Tang family returned to their hometown.
“We couldn’t leave the room because we had to check on you, but now that you’re awake, we’re going to check on you.”
“Yes, Soryong-ah. I have already asked for permission to put in a chimney with the head of the household, so I thought it would be a good idea to check it out while I am in Yunnan.
If they’ve attacked the Beast Palace, it might be our turn next. Rather than sitting and waiting, we should find out and settle the grudge that we couldn’t settle a hundred years ago.”
The conclusion is that neither the Beast Palace nor the Tang family are easy targets, so we will catch them and take them down.
I nodded my head inwardly, perhaps because it was an obvious conclusion.
‘Hey, if you want to avoid extinction, you should have hidden well. Why are you urging me to give you the order?’
And I nodded in response to what the two of them said.
“Oh, so that’s what happened. So, I have to go with you?”
My theory is that people need to be perceptive.
I am the adopted son of the Beast Palace and the son-in-law of the Tang family.
Because in this situation, it was right for me to follow.
So, when I looked at the two of them and spoke with a determined expression, the two of them asked back with surprised expressions.
“You? You just woke up and you’re following us?”
“You’re talking about the dragon? It hasn’t even been that long since you woke up.”
“Aren’t I the son of the Nanman Yasu Palace and the son-in-law of the Sacheondang family? If he is the enemy of the Yang clan, then he is my mortal enemy. How could I be in such a situation?”
If it was killing people or something like that, it would have been a bit troubling, but since we were going to investigate ruins that were destroyed a hundred years ago, we had to earn points.
One side lives in a place full of poisonous creatures that fit my hobby, so I can provide a lot of information, and the other side is a place that supports my hobby, so I had to score points.
“Hehe. Were you thinking like that?”
“I can’t believe Soryong was thinking like that. He’s already become a member of our family. Hahaha.”
Mandokshin-gun’s grandfather and adoptive father looked delighted and happy, and Seol-nu and Hwa-eun also looked moved by my words.
‘I said that the most important thing in life is to be aware of your surroundings.’
***
“Oh, I feel tired.”
A few days later, Mandokshin-gun’s grandfather and adoptive father said they would explore the place where the Odokmun was destroyed a hundred years ago.
Leaving behind my grandfather and adoptive father, who were discussing the details of the schedule and plan, I walked out of the Beast Palace, stretching my tired body.
My body feels like it’s lost all its lubrication after moving for the first time in two weeks.
As I moved my body as if my joints and muscles were screaming and joking, I heard the worried voices of Hwa-eun and Seol-nu from behind.
“Would you like to go to your room and rest? Little Dragon?”
“Okay, do you want to go and lie down?”
-Tsurut?
Hwa-eun and Seol followed me with worried faces and asked, and Cho-do, who was following behind, also followed me.
My grandfather and adoptive father said there was nothing wrong with me, but they still seemed worried.
I thought it was because of the saying that consciousness is being eaten, but he shook his head and said.
“No. You’ve been sleeping for two weeks, so you need to get out and about. And most importantly, you need to check on the kids.”
“Kids?”
“I’m talking about the poisons that were caught.”
I heard he had been down for two weeks, but what I was more worried about than my own body was the other children.
I had to check on the other kids quickly.
‘Ha, the breeder has been down for two weeks. He is disqualified as a breeder.’
People who originally had pets should not be sick or lazy, but since they had been lying down for two weeks, it was something that had to be checked.
Then a sharp sound is heard.
-Tsurut!
-Tsururur!
Hyang-i and Bin-i, who had climbed onto Hwa-eun’s shoulders again, looked angry again.
And then the thought crossed my mind that I was worried about other kids when I wasn’t even angry enough myself.
“Kids, even Dad doesn’t know about this···.”
-Tch!
-Tsk tsk!
Because of the intrusion of Grandfather Mandokshin and his adoptive father, Hyang-i and Bin-i’s feelings of disappointment have not yet been resolved.
My sister tried to comfort the children by patting them with her hand, but they both avoided her touch and looked at me.
I feel like Hyang-i and Bin-i need to open their hearts first.
Next to her, her sister held back laughter at the sight of the children and told them not to worry.
“We need to ease their minds first. And you don’t have to worry about the other poisons. I took them all to the party ten days ago.”
“Are you talking about the party?”
“Yes, Little Dragon. I took most of the pipes with me to my father in the Tangga.”
“Oh, I heard you put a chimney in the master’s. It looks like you left together then?”
“Yes, Little Dragon.”
Since most of them had already been explained in detail about breeding methods, there was no problem in taking them to the party.
So I thought I had carried it well, but then a guy I had forgotten about came to mind.
He looked back at Seol Nui and Hwa Eun and asked.
“Then, what about the nobleman?”
Since I didn’t know much about the Heavenly Shrine, I was worried about just taking it.
I already knew what the guy was eating, but he threw up his stomach and suddenly lost weight.

“Oh, right. I forgot about that guy.”
“Come to think of it, I had forgotten about that kid. A few days ago, I was worried because the old master wasn’t eating.”
An answer that seemed to have been forgotten by both of them until now.
As I was thinking about quickly calming down Hyang-i and Bin-i and going there, a brilliant idea occurred to me.
I plan to check on the guy and also ease Hyang-i and Bin-i’s hearts.
“Guys, I get that you’re upset… but, how about Dad bring me two more?”
“You want to find more inner strength?”
“Save me more of my pieces?”
-Tsurut?
-Ts?
Seol, Hwa-eun, Hyang-i, and Bin-i tilt their heads at my words.
First, he quickly led the four to the place where the lowly gentleman was.
I don’t know if I can actually save the inner self, but I can at least pretend to.
The place they arrived at was the first circular grassland with pointed rocks that the demons used as their residence.
As we approached the sharp rock, the fairy quickly approached us, disguised as our older sister, with a worried expression on her face.
-Kissit! Kissishishishishi! Kissishit!
“I was really worried about the fairy.”
“I’m sorry, Yohwa. I was worried. I’m okay.”
Yohwa, who wasn’t as angry as Hyang or Bin, felt better after being comforted and patted on the head.
After releasing the spirit of the demon and checking the sharp rock next to the place where the Bicheon Shrine is, I found a large water container filled with baby demons, and next to it was a breeding facility that I had never seen before.
A tent-like structure made of translucent magic threads inside four-sided bamboo pillars.
Inside it, a celestial being was coiled up.
First, I approached him, squatted down, and spoke to him.
“How have you been?”
-Char?
A guy who starts to droop when he hears my voice, then raises his head and looks around.
It seemed difficult to pinpoint my location because of the spider webs, so I said I had lost the law and asked the demon to open the upper part.
I think it was because I thought it would be better to talk while looking at each other’s faces.
“Hey, Yohwa, can you open the top for me?”
-Kissit!
At my request, the top of the square enclosure opened, and I looked inside and spoke to the creature again.
“Um… Is this the first time you’ve seen my face? Nice to meet you. I’m So-ryong. The reason I’m saying this is because I think there was a bit of a misunderstanding between us….”
-?
Then the guy tilts his head.
I explained to him what misunderstanding there had been between us.
“No, I didn’t originally plan on doing anything to you. I just thought you were so cool and pretty that I brought you home and wanted to take good care of you… But you got so wild and things ended up like this? I’d give you back the piece, but my daughter ate it….”
-Char!?
When we gestured to the crow that had been following us to show him the crow, the reptilian’s vertical pupils opened wide at the crow’s expression as if to ask what he meant.
The guy’s mouth fell open.
I feel like I’ve noticed what’s going on.
-Sha, sha···. Sha···.
Then his body started shaking.
Although he gave up to save his life, he looked in disbelief when he saw for himself that his 120-year-old internal energy had been transferred to another poison.
If someone else were to steal their inner strength, wouldn’t the martial artists react in a similar way?
I spoke to the shocked guy in the most affectionate voice I could.
“You might be surprised, shocked, and angry to have been suddenly arrested, but don’t you think about it?
I feel bad about leaving you like this. Since you’ve gotten so small, you might get eaten by other poisonous creatures, right?
So, um… how about we take care of you until you get back to your old self?”
“shaman?”
“No, I mean we give them food and keep them safe from other poisonous creatures or wild animals.
“You haven’t eaten anything since you were caught?”
He grabbed a plump, shiny baby magpie with something like a net next to the water bucket and held it out to the magpie, continuing to speak.
“Let’s think about it while we eat. Are you hungry?”
-Cluck.
A guy who swallows his saliva when you stick out your tongue because he’s hungry.
“If it’s okay with you, we’d like to help you get back on your feet. I’m not that bad of a person. And our daughters are here too. And… Hwa-eun, Bing-i, and Seol-i?”
“Oh, I’m eating in my room.”
If you eat in your room, it probably means that Hwa-eun and I are sucking the energy from the ice rink we brought.
He nodded and continued speaking.
“There are two stone slabs called Seolbingseokcheok, and you know Yohwa? I’m taking care of you all. Ah, I must be hungry. Let’s eat first and then talk.”
I introduced the rest of the family and brought the baby Hwari closer to him, but he suddenly turned his head and let out a warning sound.
-Shaaah! Shaaah!
(Am I an idiot!? Do you think I would fall for such nonsense!?)
I think it felt something like that.
Then, the herd that had been watching the boy’s actions continuously put his head inside the enclosure and scolded him.
-Tsrrrr!
(What did you just say to my dad?)
A guy who was startled by the ominous atmosphere and sound of the flying girl and retreated to a corner of the facility, trembling.
I thought I shouldn’t scare him like this while we’re talking, so I grabbed the candle with my other arm that wasn’t holding it and said.
“No, you can’t do that. Your friend will get scared.”
-Tsurut!
I asked him not to scare me, but he didn’t back down and kept gesturing at me while pulling me into his arms.
Then, after a while, the guy came towards me with big tears falling down and started eating my food.
‘If you don’t want to be hit, what are you telling me to eat?’
-Sha, Sha···.
-Gulp.
“Oh, right. I have to eat.”
Looking at the way the guy eats, I think he’s more timid than I thought.
I felt like this kind of threat worked better than talking nicely.
Anyway, the guy couldn’t have been happy about being bullied by the person who had eaten the stolen food, but Hwari seemed sweet as honey after fasting for over two weeks.
After a while, the guy who had been eating the food until his stomach was bulging was lying in a corner of the pen with his head buried in his body, looking miserable.
A feeling of self-loathing.
Once you start eating, there won’t be any problems later.
“I think I need some light and shade of my own, so should I go back?”
He left the guy behind and said to Hyang-i and Bin-i.
“I’ll make Daddy make that guy healthy and have him spit it out again. Just wait a minute.”
I feel a little sorry for the guy, but what can I do? I have to ask him to make some sacrifices for his family.
‘I’m sorry, but I don’t know how long it takes for the inside to form, but please just make me spit it out two more times.’
Then, Hyang-i and Bin-i looked at each other and then, as if they thought that my thoughts were not bad, they crossed over my sister’s shoulder and came towards me and started rubbing their cheeks.
***
We arrived at Namnasan (南糯山), where the Odukmun sect was said to have been destroyed a hundred years ago, and searched for two days, but it was not easy to find any exact traces because a hundred years had already passed.
Because in the Beast Palace, it was only written that ‘the Oduk sect was destroyed in Namnasan’ and the detailed location was not recorded.
So on the third day, I climbed up to the top of the mountain and asked the hermit.
“Hey, can you take Dad too?”
-Tsurut!
The grass quickly wraps itself around my body at my words.
As the grass wrapped around my body and floated, my body also rose into the sky.
And as the grass’ legs moved quickly in the air, the grass’s body moved forward as if it was crawling on the ground.
“Oh! Okay, stop for a second, Choya.”
Since we were flying together, I stopped for a moment to check my surroundings after feeling excited.
I asked because I thought I could find it if I climbed to a high place, but even when I checked from a high place, I couldn’t see anything.
In a subtropical climate, the jungle would usually become covered with lush grass and become invisible after just a few days, so it was not easy to reveal the site of a sect that had been extinct for a hundred years.
After looking around for a while, I was thinking about going down because I couldn’t see anything.
The adoptive father’s voice is heard from below.
“Dragon, look north.”
“Is it the northern language?”
“It’s hot in the jungle, so check it out because people build a lot of houses on the shady north side.”
“All right.”
It is commonly known that houses face east or west, but the story goes that because it is a hot jungle, you should look at the north side.
It was time to turn my head to check the north side.
Something flying in flocks between the dense forests at sunset.
I focused my eyes to see that it was a swarm of bats.
‘Is it just a bat?’
Eventually, I came down to the ground without finding anything.
The adoptive father who asked.
“You couldn’t find it?”
“Yes, I saw a swarm of cicadas flying from the north… But other than that….”
“Pyeonbok! Then, I guess I should go there!”
The adoptive father was delighted to hear that he had not found much and had only seen a flock of bats.
I wondered why he was so happy, but then my adoptive father explained with a bright face.
“If there are a lot of swarms of swarms, then there is a large cave. Shouldn’t we go there?”
Perhaps because they are people who are sincere to animals, their thoughts were different.
