◈ Episode 71. The Song of the Red Snake
A four-day forced march towards Jeoksagok.
Jinmu-rip and his party arrived at their destination a day ahead of schedule.
Hiding behind a large rock, they discovered the entrance to a canyon where sand flowed down like a river.
Yudaeha muttered with her eyes narrowed.
“It’s as if the desert has been moved. Is that the Red Valley?”
The narrow entrance, which is only a little over a jang wide between cliffs ten jang high, looks difficult to pass through even if blocked by two or three unmanned personnel.
Danryehwa said.
“There’s an unmanned person behind the entrance. There’s also one on the cliff.”
Judae asked with wide eyes.
“Do you see that?”
It was surprising that they could detect a hidden unmanned object so far away that it looked like a person was the size of an ant.
As everyone looked at him with curious eyes as he said, Danryehwa blushed and pulled up her mask.
“I have sharp eyesight.”
Jinmu Lip said.
“Then let’s talk about the plan now.”
Everyone’s attention was focused on Jinmu Rip.
Even though Kang Yu-wol followed, the person in charge of this mission was Jin Mu-rip.
In particular, Jin Seol-ran and Army Chief of Staff, who were going on their first mission together with Jin Mu-rip, were filled with anticipation.
“If someone is guarding something, there is something inside that needs to be guarded.”
Army Commander smiled brightly at Jinmu Rip’s words.
“If that’s a bloodthirsty maniac, then it’s a jackpot.”
Jinseolran asked.
“What does the Archbishop think is over there? Is it a bloodthirsty madman?”
Jinmu-rip nodded slightly.
“It’s unlikely that the Bloody Night Madman’s experiments will be conducted in dozens of places. It’s probably one, or maybe two, at most. If Jeoksagok is the Bloody Night Madman’s secret experiment site, then there’s a high probability that Cheonmu-dae won’t gain anything.”
The army commander spoke softly.
“There might be a trap where they’re headed. If so, there’s no time to delay here. We have to hurry and check and then go back… … .”
Dangcheon, who had been silent until then, opened his mouth.
“That has nothing to do with us.”
Judae asked.
“If they’re trapped, shouldn’t we go back and help them right away?”
“If Cheonmu-dae is an opponent of that level, what can we do when we go there? Rather than wasting energy on something we can’t handle, it’s better to focus on the situation in front of us.”
Jin Seol-ran said with a pretended angry face.
“Have you forgotten that they are our comrades?”
“If everything went as planned, there would be no one among the unmanned who was not the best in the world. I was just stating the reality.”
“You really… … .”
As the argument became more heated, Jinmu-rip put his arm between the two.
“I didn’t bring you two because I wanted to see you fight.”
Jin Seol-ran suppressed her anger and turned her head away.
Jinmu-rip, who had burst into laughter, spoke again.
“There is some truth to the idea that we should not ignore our colleagues and that we should focus on the situation in front of us. So let’s first resolve the immediate issue and then think about the next one.”
Jo Young-seong chuckled.
“That’s right. Those two do that so often that it’s a waste to worry about them.”
Kang Yu-wol asked.
“Looking at the entrance, it seems like it will be difficult to get in and difficult to get out. What are you going to do?”
“There are two ways. One is to wait here and wait for something to come out from inside, and the other is to drag them out and infiltrate. But we don’t have time… … .”
Jinmu-rip looked at Kang Yu-wol and smiled mischievously.
“From now on, we must put Mr. Noh in a dangerous situation.”
The dry wind cuts into my collar coldly.
As the wind noise grew louder, the three unmanned men guarding the entrance opened their collars.
“It’s hard to open my eyes.”
It was difficult to even stand as the sand mixed with the wind blew across the high and low of the martial arts.
“How long do you think you will stay here?”
“How could I know something you don’t know?”
The soft voice is soon lost in the wind.
The wind that swept through the valley rose up over the cliff like a tornado.
At either end of the cliff were two members of the Phantom Troops lying face down on the ground.
They turned their heads in turns and looked in all directions as if they had made a promise.
Dangcheon, who had gone a long way and climbed the cliff, peeked his head out.
‘It won’t be easy.’
The distance between me and my opponent was about ten chapters, and it seemed like the memorization would be affected because it changed frequently.
Jin Mu-rip, who was on the other side of Dangcheon, had similar thoughts.
‘What a terrible place to set up a temple.’
Since the drones on both sides are constantly checking each other’s backs, if you deploy your magic and rush forward, you will be discovered before you can attack.
However, if you attack rashly from a distance, your opponent will likely fall off the cliff.
‘I wouldn’t put this much effort into a place that’s not that special.’
Jinmu-rip carefully stepped on the rock and moved, placing two unmanned figures in a straight line in his field of vision.

‘good.’
A silver sword shot out like a ray of light and pierced the head of a nearby warrior.
puck.
A dull noise is swallowed up by the wind.
The moment Jinmu Rip, who had climbed the cliff, unfolded his new technique, the silver sword pierced the head of the warrior on the other side.
But then, the calm wind suddenly grew stronger and swept over the edge of the cliff.
The body here is tilted down the cliff.
‘It’s not good.’
Just when it seemed like it was going to be too late, a ray of light flew in from the other side and hit the head of the falling drone.
The corpse that had been tilting with a thud sound rose slightly, and Jinmu-rip did not miss the opportunity.
Jinmu-rip, who had barely managed to pull the body out, looked across the street with a sense of relief.
There was also a corpse-pulling machine there.
‘That’s pretty good.’
Jinmu-rip smiled brightly.
‘I never thought I’d catch two people in this wind at the same time.’
A faint wrinkle appeared between Dangcheon’s eyebrows, who was quite surprised.
Dangcheon, who met Jinmu Rip’s eyes, pushed the body away, picked up Jinmu Rip’s silver sword, and threw it towards him.
[thanks.]
Dangcheon did not respond and waited for the next action.
Kang Yu-wol, who confirmed Jin Mu-rip’s signal from afar, lowered his posture and moved secretly.
Thanks to the obstruction of the cliff top, we were able to easily approach right below the entrance.
Kang Yu-wol paused for a moment and glanced behind him.
Danryehwa and Jinseolran, whose eyes met, nodded their heads slightly.
Kang Yu-wol, who took a deep breath, flew like lightning and compress the distance of three chapters in an instant.
The faces of the bewildered enemies are sucked into the pupils.
Crunch!
In an instant, three heads rise into the air.
The reaction speed is not much different from the skeptic that appeared in the forest.
‘At this level, even children can handle it.’
In a situation where there was absolutely no information inside, Kang Yu-wol rushed in from the front to see if they were worthy of fighting.
If it had been an enemy I couldn’t handle, I would have just run away, but if it’s to this extent, I’ll break through as planned.
Kang Yu-wol jumped over the enemy’s corpse, and using that movement as a signal, Dan Ryeo-hwa and Jin Seol-ran positioned themselves close to the sides of the entrance.
As Kang Yu-wol jumps into the entrance of the valley, the unmanned man waiting inside shouts.
“The enemy!”
As soon as he finished speaking, people wearing cloaks poured out of the caves on all sides like a swarm of ants.
A number that easily exceeds several hundred.
‘Is there no other exit?’
Except for the rear, there were no other paths inside the concave interior, only several caves.
A desperate situation where enemies are rushing in from all sides.
As the enemy with his weapon drawn rushed forward, Kang Yu-wol took a stride and his sword strike stretched out like a ray of light.
The first step of the Muksabigum Mancheongeombang.
Tata dadadadadang!
A clear sound resonates as if heavy rain is hitting the iron plate.
Enemies that were rushing in were repelled by the perfect defensive strategy.
A slight gap was created because of that.
A majestic sword name rises from Kang Yu-wol’s sword body as he flies backwards.
Woof woof!
The first method of the Muksabigeom Gongryojisa (Attack on Darkness and Death) was derived from the pure history of Taoism, and the sword name shook the hearts of the enemies.
Shuaaaak!
Kang Yu-wol’s black sword, which had become five-stranded flashes of light, mercilessly pierced through the halting enemies.
“Ugh!”
A heavy scream pours out along with flying drops of blood.
The moment the exit opens.
“Hahahaha! You came!”
A man with a sword, Cheon Tae-mu, appeared from a cave one jang high on the right.
Next, in the cave on the left, there is a man holding a spear.
“This is unexpected.”
In the cave ahead, Hyun Yu-rip appeared with sharp eyes that looked like a veil.
“… … .”
The creepy aura they give off touches Kang Yu-wol’s skin.
‘These are unusual people.’
Kang Yu-wol, who turned around with a heavy heart, broke through the siege with his extreme magic.
The Flame Corps members are pursuing them without hesitation.
Kang Yu-wol, who had escaped through the entrance, turned around, and the enemy followed him.
Crunch!
The necks of the enemies running ahead rise into the air.
The Danryeonhwa and Jinseolran who were hiding on the left and right succeeded in the surprise attack.
A black pouch falls down on top of them as they hesitate.
As the falling pouch reached over their heads, a projectile fired from the cliff accurately ruptured the pouch.
Dismissed!
Those who noticed the soft noise and raised their heads could see black powder fluttering in the air.
At that moment, Lee Gwak shouted from behind.
“It’s poison! Stop breathing!”
Those who were gathered together held their breath desperately, but those who were staying right below could not avoid the poisoning.
The only good thing was that the wind from the canyon that blew again quickly swept away the poison.
‘It’s not easy after all.’
As Dangcheon disappeared from the edge of the cliff, Hyun Yu-rip’s mouth opened.
“Cheon Tae-mu. Chase me.”
“I was thinking that even if you didn’t say anything.”
Cheon Tae-mu jumped up and stepped on the cliffs on both sides alternately before disappearing in an instant.
As the fight that had paused for a moment resumed, a man with sleepy eyes appeared behind Hyun Yu-rip and yawned.
The last of the Blood Guardians, the Solo-Stepping God Demon, Jo Wi-seong, has awakened from his slumber.
“What are those?”
“The enemy.”
“I know that much.”
The Hwanyeondae desperately tried to break through, but it was not enough to overcome Kang Yu-wol and the others through the narrow entrance.
Hyun Yu-rip’s eyes narrowed.
“It’s not good to miss. Surround them.”
“What can I do if I can’t go out?”
At that moment, Lee Gwak jumped out of the cave and rushed towards the entrance like a whirlwind.
After that, Hyun Yu-rip flew away, and Jo Wi-seong, who had hesitated for a moment, followed behind like the wind.
Lee Gwak, who was leading them, stepped on the shoulder of the Hwanyeomdaewon and soared into the air.
Kang Yu-wol, who discovered him, immediately jumped up and scattered the sword grass.
“I won’t send it.”
The two men who met in the air smiled brightly.
“Inspiration. I’m the bait.”
The moment when the swords of Naerin Changdu and Kang Yuwol meet.
Boom!
A loud noise erupted from the collision of bets and bets, and Hyun Yu-rip and Jo Wi-seong, who had moved over the wall during the gap, quickly broke through the entrance.
‘this.’
A look of defeat spread across Kang Yu-wol’s face.
Now that we have allowed it, retreat is impossible.
Lee Gwak, who was falling to the ground, said.
“That weasel-looking guy over there is unstoppable unless you are an inspiration.”
Danryehwa shouted at Kang Yuwol as he landed.
“We’ll block the entrance!”
There was no choice.
If you just leave it alone, you’ll be attacked from the front and back.
“If the one holding the spear tries to come out, don’t stop him.”
“All right.”
Kang Yu-wol slowly turned around and approached Hyun Yu-rip.
However, Hyun Yu-rip’s gaze was not directed at him, but behind him.
In case the three of them got tired, Yoo Dae-ha, Army Myeong, and Jo Yeong-seong, who had been waiting in the rear, appeared.
The army commander, who had his hand on the dopa, smiled and said.
“It was boring just watching, so this is good.”
Hyun Yu-rip’s eyes narrowed towards the army name.
‘There’s something about this guy.’
I instinctively felt that his relaxed smile was not a show of force.
At that moment, Igwak came running out from inside the entrance, stepping on the wall.
Kang Yu-wol, who had fixed his sword, spoke calmly.
“Youngseong-ah. Please give me the entrance.”
“Please leave it to me, Master Sasukjo.”
Jo Young-seong flew into the entrance.
There were three people who came out through the entrance.
Kang Yu-wol looked at Yoo Dae-ha and Yak Gun-myeong and asked.
“Can you stand it?”
“Of course.”
The man held his sword with a solemn glare in his eyes, and the army leader nodded with a leisurely smile.
Keep your eyes on the enemy.
Kang Yu-wol, who had lowered her posture, had her eyes shining solemnly.
“Let’s start.”
