How to Live as a Magician in the Martial Arts World Episode 67
Chapter 16. Rescue (3)
The raccoon was curious.
The spiders we fought just now weren’t all that strong, but they weren’t ones that could be easily defeated like this.
‘You don’t know anything.’
The results were excellent, but Zhuge Liang thought he was just lucky.
First of all, the spider was smaller and weaker than expected.
It was not small compared to the size of an adult’s fist, but it was weak and could not break through the mud wall that Jegal Xuanmong had improvised.
The momentary blockage of the escape route caused the spiders to panic, which was also their downfall.
‘It might have been better if you had rushed at Nana Dambi instead.’
However, instead of doing that, the spiders were busy running away, so Jegal Hyunmong was able to deal with them without difficulty.
“Dambi did a good job.”
Dam-bi was embarrassed by the sudden compliment.
But… …I didn’t feel bad.
Maybe, I have been misunderstanding things for no reason until now.
Thinking like that, Dam-bi approached Jegal Hyun-mong and tried to rub her body against him.
“Stop it. Aren’t you dirty because of the spiders?”
“… … .”
Dam-bi’s favorability rating, which was about to rise, plummeted in an instant, but Jegal Hyunmong did not notice and was busy looking around.
‘Fortunately, there aren’t any more.’
The noise had not spread far, and no more spiders were visible.
But soon, a wandering spider might find this place and pounce on it.
“I will decide the policy. Dam-bi, go in now and find the spider’s den. Go in and check if Hyang-ah is safe and come back.”
Of course, I wasn’t just telling you to go in.
Jegal Hyunmong squeezed out all his remaining magical power and carved a spell into the raccoon’s body.
Hwanmongjin is a magic that illuminates the surrounding environment.
If used well, it was possible to use illusions to hide one’s body.
“Squeak.”
The raccoon was dissatisfied.
If you can do something like this, then why not do it yourself?
But Jegal Hyunmong shook his head.
“The bigger the target, the less effective it is. And isn’t it more important to check on Hyang-ah’s safety right now?”
That’s true too.
It’s true that there’s no time.
The raccoon soon ran after the scent of Hyang-a.
Meanwhile, Jegal Hyunmong began to cast another spell with his magic wand.
‘I need to replenish my magical power. First, I need to find a place to hide my body.’
After creating the Mirihwanmongjin by combining Mirijin and Hwanmongjin, Jegal Hyeonmong entered it.
Not long after that, another spider appeared.
However, due to the effect of the Mirihwanmongjin, he was unable to spot Jegal Hyeonmong and just passed by.
After making sure that it was somewhat safe, Jegal Hyunmong began to draw a magic circle on the floor.
‘It would have been a little better if I had Cheongnyeonghwan.’
Samarin, who returned to Sima Shiga, has not yet sent the Qingling Pill.
It may still be in the process of being restored, and it may not be easy to take out the Cheongryongwan, as it is considered quite precious within the family.
So, unfortunately, I had no choice but to replenish my magical power through the magic circle.
As soon as the magic circle was completed and the magical power began to build up, Jegal Hyunmong closed his eyes.
‘I guess the civet has arrived at the spider’s den.’
In the past, when I interfered with the magic of Galsa-ryang.
Jegal Hyunmong once used the magic of a small object to climb up and find out where Gal Sa-ryang was staying.
It was evidence that information could be shared through magic.
However, it is usually not easy, as receiving and sending are unstable.
And now, Jegal Hyunmong was connected to the raccoon and his spirit, and he was able to amplify the effectiveness of his magic through the magic circle.
Jegal Hyunmong, who sharpened the signal, concentrated his mind and shot his magical power toward Dam-bi’s spirit.
“… … .”
The raccoon now stood before a huge cave.
The smell of incense was coming from there.
And of course, there is also the smell that is presumed to be that of a human face.
I felt the raccoon’s emotions.
Fear, regret, tension, terror.
Such things also came to Jegal Hyunmong through the raccoon.
-Calm down.
“Squeak!?”
-Soon, someone much stronger than me will come. When that person comes, he can also capture the human-faced pillar inside me. But in order to do that, we need to first make sure that Hyang-ah is safe, and we need to rescue her. So what we are doing is also for your revenge.
Thanks to Jegal Hyunmong’s calm words, Dam-bi gradually regained her composure.
Dam-bi took a deep breath with her small chest and began to slowly move forward, feeling a little more calm than before.
The inside of the cave was damp and damp.
And the path was covered with large and small spider webs.
Zhuge Xuanmong thought again that it was a good thing he had not gone with them. If he had gone in, he would not have been able to move without getting caught in that spider web.

On the other hand, the civet was cleverly moving around to avoid touching the spider web, using its small body.
It’s been a while since we’ve been moving forward like that.
In the eyes of the raccoon, the image of a giant human-faced person was captured.
‘When I actually saw it, it was more overwhelming than I expected.’
Eight long, sharp legs, body hair stiffer than that of a pig, and a huge body reminiscent of a log gave off an overwhelming sense of intimidation.
There’s a human face carved into the spider’s back.
The face, which seemed to be made up of countless faces overlapping each other, appeared to be of a different age and gender each time I looked at it.
However, the face and the spider’s eyes were closed.
‘I guess you’re sleeping.’
A blessing in disguise.
Jegal Hyeonmong sent a message to Dam-bi telling him to proceed as planned.
When the raccoon actually saw the human-faced person, he lost his desire for revenge and went inside.
And as we went in a little further, we were finally able to find Dambi and Jegal Hyunmong.
The sight of Hyang-a hanging, wrapped in a spider web.
‘Fortunately, it seems he’s alive.’
Although he seemed to have lost consciousness, he was clearly alive, and it was not hard to see why.
“… … !”
Suddenly the spider web began to shake.
The movement came from one of the countless cocoons entangled in the spider’s web.
It was a young wild boar that had not yet reached adulthood, and it was struggling with all its might to escape from the cocoon.
It ended up being a handshake.
“Keeeek.”
Suddenly, the human-faced land monster woke up and crawled up the spider web with its huge body.
And four pairs of eyes were turned towards the moving boar cub.
The face spread across the back of the carapace also opened its eyes and smiled.
What happened after that happened very quickly.
The man who grabbed the kochi and tore it off disappeared somewhere, dragging the kochi with him.
The harsh crashing sound of flesh and bone, the screams of baby boars echoed through the cave.
Seeing that sight, Zhuge Xuanmong had a gut feeling.
‘now!’
Strictly speaking, it was not Zhuge Xuanmong’s judgment.
It was just a feeling similar to Allen’s enlightenment.
However, in such matters, Jegal Hyunmong valued Allen’s intuition more than his own judgment.
Dam-bi tried to refuse Jegal Hyun-mong’s words.
The order that Jegal Hyunmong gave to the raccoon was none other than to climb up the spider web and tear the cocoon that was wrapping Hyang-ah.
There’s no way that’s possible.
Besides, the raccoon’s body was still soaked in fear. It seemed as if it would be impossible to move.
Until Jegal Hyunmong’s spirit was connected to Dam-bi.
‘… … !’
What Jegal Hyunmong conveyed was not words or ideas, but Allen’s senses. When that sense was conveyed to Dambi, her vision, which had been clouded by fear, cleared up.
And the next moment.
The raccoon’s body was already on top of the spider web.
And then, as if by magic, he jumped up, balancing on the spider web.
The civet enjoyed climbing trees in the first place, and the spider web spun by the human-faced landowner was thicker than that of an average tree branch.
As long as you can distinguish the non-sticky strings, climbing up is a breeze.
The civet climbed up to where the scented tree was without any obstructions and swung its claws to cut off the spider web.
He didn’t cut all the webs at once. He slowly and carefully cut the webs that supported the incense stick, allowing it to fall to the ground.
And when it gets close enough to the ground.
The raccoon swung its claws one last time, splitting the cocoon and sending the fragrant flowers falling to the ground.
Thump.
“… … !”
And Hyang-ah opened her eyes in shock.
“Ugh, ugh.”
‘No.’
It may be relatively insensitive to noise, but it was not good to hear any sound anyway.
At the same time that Jegal Hyunmong was thinking that, the raccoon covered Hyang-ah’s mouth.
“Dambi?”
The raccoon nodded. And then, with a dash of skill, he pretended to cover his mouth with both hands.
It was a sudden movement, but fortunately, Hyang-ah noticed it right away.
‘You want me to be quiet?’
Fortunately, Hyang-ah was quite perceptive.
One of the things that Jegal Hyunmong was most worried about was that Hyang-ah might panic and cause chaos.
‘So what should we do now?’
It was hiding.
Once freed from the spider web, there is no longer any immediate danger of becoming prey.
Right now, it was much more likely to survive if you held your breath until Danggon arrived, rather than trying to avoid the eyes of the Inmyeonjiju and other small spiders.
At that moment, Zhuge Xuanmong realized that something had entered the camp he had set up.
‘Are you here?’
A formation was set up along the path that Danggon and Danghwaryeong would likely take.
A simple formation that only contained the function of allowing one to immediately know when someone was passing by. As it was quickly broken, it was quickly approaching where Jegal Hyunmong was.
It is by no means a short distance, but considering the lightness of the martial arts masters, it shouldn’t take that long.
Jegal Hyeonmong tried to tell Hyang-ah through the raccoon to find a place where she could hide.
if.
“Cough.”
If Hyang-ah, who was holding her breath in the cave, had not coughed because she could not stand the poison in the cave.
“Cough, cough! Whoosh! Cough!”
‘Come to think of it.’
When I first met Hyang-ah, I remembered her coughing, perhaps because she was weak.
And the moment he realized that, Zhuge Xuanmong kicked away his formation and ran out.
