Entomologist in Sichuan Tang Clan Chapter 202

202
The sight of the Odokmun warriors surrounding me, scattered here and there on the sand ridge.

Even though they were wearing pants, their thighs and lower body were unusually developed, and considering the appearance of the Odokmun warriors up to now, it was clear that they were a unit related to Heol who had intensively trained in the Heolmi-Gwaesok-Tui (蠍尾快速腿) of the Odokmu.

Otherwise, that kind of appearance cannot be explained.

Before we knew it, Hyang-i and I were surrounded by these people, and Oh Cheong-yu, standing between them, was giving off a strange aura, like something carved out of ominous moonlight.

The gothic atmosphere and the moonlight gave off a really ominous and creepy feeling.

“Ahahaha… Who is this? Oh, it’s been a while since I’ve seen you. Miss Cheongyu. What a coincidence. Meeting you even in a desert like this. Isn’t that right?”

First, I greeted him with an awkward smile and a coquettish manner.

And during that time, I rolled my eyes and looked around.

Although my stats are almost at rock bottom, I checked to see if there was any room to escape.

If there’s a cliff, a river, or something like that, you can try to escape by jumping off or diving in.

But the surrounding area was just a barren desert.

Under the moonlight, all that was visible was a vast expanse of land made up of nothing but sandy ridges, with no cliffs or anything else.

‘All I can see around me is a continuous sand ridge. It feels like I’ve come a long way into the desert, but considering the speed at which I was dragged… Seol and Hwa-eun will probably arrive late…

‘We’re surrounded, so it’ll be hard to break through and escape… Are we, uh, ruined?’

Looking at the desperate state of the surroundings, I thought that if things continued like this, I would just get caught.

Because they even delivered it to me quickly in Odokmun, and it was a place I couldn’t run away from.

Oh Cheong-yu’s smiling voice was heard again.

“What a coincidence. You came running here in a hurry to receive the invitation I sent to bring in the little dragon. As expected, it’s the little dragon.”

“Hey, an invitation?”

Oh Cheong-yu blinked at the words that he had sent me an invitation and pointed to the camel spider.

She explained the meaning of the invitation with a dangerous smile.

“I thought that if I told the Beast Palace, the little dragon would come running out of breath, and my father was right. The little dragon arrived so quickly.

Even though we didn’t do anything, you appeared in front of me first. Hehe…

“Did you like my invitation that much?”

Now that I look at it, it seems like the information leaked by the Blood Cultist that I caught at the Beast Palace was all intentional.

The story was that everything was bait to catch me.

‘No, you’re saying they’re leaking information about what they’re doing secretly to catch me?’

It was a bit hard to understand why he would do something like this just to catch me, but considering Oh Cheong-yu’s mental state, it was hard to dismiss it as something completely absurd.

As a result, this is the situation now.

I also thought that maybe I was being read too far from that side.

It was an invitation that hit the spot, so even if I knew it was a trap, I would have still come.

‘Damn. How can I refuse an invitation like this…’

He replied again with an awkward smile.

“Oh, so this was Lady Cheongyu’s invitation. Ahahaha…. Oh my, it seems you know too much about me. It’s embarrassing….”

“Of course. Now that you are my person, I have checked many things. Hehe.”

The sight of him looking at me with such greed gave me goosebumps.

He said, avoiding her gaze and looking behind him towards the camel spider.

“By the way, my precious invitation ended up like this···.”

When I made an apologetic expression and told him that I had killed the camel spider, Oh Cheong-yu shook his head.

“It’s okay, little dragon. We were going to slaughter it anyway.”

“Ah, slaughter!?”

When I looked startled at the news that a camel spider, which is not even an animal raised for food, was scheduled to arrive, Chugyou Yu pointed to the round object in my hand and said,

“I was planning to check how big the crater was.”

“Me, me?”

“Yes. Well, since Xiaolong is now a member of the Five Poison Sect, it’s okay for him to know. He made the insects huge with the Five Poison Sect’s great method, and one of the supernatural abilities of the Five Poison Explosion Submergence Method. He was checking to see if these could create internal energies like spirits.”

“!”

I wondered why something like a stool was flowing out of the mouth of a dead camel spider, and it turns out there was a reason for that.

It seemed like the Odogmun guys were conducting research on creating an artificial inner layer.

No, is it an artificial spirit?

And one more thing that surprised me even more.

“I thought it would be more effective if I fed it to people, but it’s bigger than I thought. I’m satisfied with the results. My father will be happy.

“I guess I’ll have to feed it to the martial artists next time.”

‘Oh, crazy!’

-Bam.

As I dropped the inner altar in surprise at the fact that it was made by melting human energy, Oh Cheong-yu gestured towards me.

“Go and pick up the inner part and bring the little dragon.”

“Yes, Miss!”

The two warriors on the left and right of Oh Cheong-yu are heading towards me.

I quickly shouted, thinking that if I was caught like this, I would be dragged away with my blood pressure under control.

“Okay, wait a minute!”

Then Oh Cheong-yu tilted his head.

“Why are you like that, Little Dragon?”

Oh Cheong-yu asks in a very friendly voice, even though he has never allowed his name to be called.

He said, revealing his presence by asking Hyang-i to come up onto his shoulder.

-Tsrrrr.

“I’m worried that the warriors might get hurt since this child is attached to my body. I’ll just follow on my own feet.”

Although the poison of the scent has already been completely removed, it still scared the scent.

That woman, Oh Cheong-yu, seemed to have some tolerance to the Qing Ban-O-Gong, but the other warriors didn’t.

The reason I was scared was because if I followed along obediently, I might be able to get a chance to escape, but if I got caught by the bloodline, I thought I would just be dragged to the Odokmun.

“Oh, right. So there was that kid?”

Oh Cheong-yu nods his head at my words.

Oh Cheong-yu defeated the two warriors and started walking towards me.

“Both of you come back. Then, I will pick you up myself.”

“No, not like that···.”

I waved my hand in embarrassment, but Oh Cheong-yu quickly came towards me.

Oh Cheong-yu smiled and linked arms with me as he spoke.

“Please be careful with the child. I also get bitten because it hurts.”

A tremendous amount of history felt at the same time.

It certainly seems like a level somewhere between a craftsman and a grandfather who is a master of the Mandokshin Army.

He said, wondering how he could escape from this woman’s clutches.

“Yes, but you shouldn’t treat Hyang-i carelessly. She’s like my daughter.”

It was when I was paying attention that I was worried about what might happen to Hyang-i.

Oh Cheong-yu looked at me and nodded as if it was natural.

“Don’t worry. I won’t touch anything that belongs to you, So-ryong. I’ll raise that child well so that you can eat it.”

“yes!?”

-Tsurut!?

At Oh Cheong-yu’s words, Hyang-i was startled and raised her antennae.

I was surprised too.

He clearly introduced her as his daughter, but I couldn’t help but be surprised that he raised her well and fed her to me.

‘Why is the answer like that?’

But Oh Cheong-yu’s next words made me feel even more confused.

“Since you said you were precious to me like a daughter, I will allow you to live forever in your body. Isn’t that what a daughter should do?

“It is natural for a daughter to sacrifice herself for her father.”

‘Did I hear that right?’

I feel like something is off with what I thought was common sense.

An ominous feeling came over me, as if I couldn’t stay here for another second.

At that moment, as Oh Cheong-yu was walking away with his arm linked, something sparkling in the moonlight caught my eye near the forehead and hairline.

‘That!?’

It was a silver needle.

A silver needle that looks exactly like the one on the head of a monster, an army ant, and a camel spider.

Now that I think about it, I saw that same sight last time when he appeared and disappeared with the strange man.

The sight gave me goosebumps for a moment.

The words she had said earlier came together in a strange way.

‘I was checking whether these could create internal turmoil like spirits using the Five Poison Explosion Submersion Method.’

‘It is natural for a daughter to sacrifice her body for her father.’

Oh Cheong-yu introduced it as the Odokbokjamdaebeop, and although he did not explain all of its effects, he described it as a method of artificially creating internal energy like a spirit being.

In that case, it is possible that Oh Cheong-yu himself is creating internal strife within his body.

There was something twisted in her words that made me think that she was a human being being created for the sake of her father, the head of the Odokmun sect.

It is only natural that he would sacrifice his body for his father.

It could be interpreted in many dangerous ways, but when he said he would feed Hyang-i, it seemed like he was saying that he could also be eaten by his father.

‘Hey, you crazy Odogmun bastards. Even if you’re crazy, you’re not completely crazy, are you!?’

I thought they just fed people to make spirits, fed spirits to spirits, and did things like that.

You were planning something unimaginable.

“Why are you like that, Little Dragon?”

Oh Cheong-yu smiled as he looked at my pale face.

Up until now I thought he was just a crazy psychopath, but now I think he might be a victim.

My heart was pounding like crazy.

“Oh, no.”

It was when I took my first step following her.

A leg that staggers from the shock of what was discovered.

As I stumbled, she stopped and checked on me.

And then a worried voice was heard.

“Huh? Oh, my. My body is in terrible shape.”

As she said, my body was not a horse.

The clothes on his chest were all torn off and tattered as he was dragged around tied to the camel spider’s body, and the few clothes he had were soaked with the juice from the grass and looked terrible.

There’s sand filling up the gaps between clothes.

Furthermore, he had suffered internal injuries from being beaten once, and his internal strength was almost completely depleted from operating the railroad tracks to survive, so not only his appearance but also his insides were a mess.

Oh Cheong-yu released his arms and crouched down in front of me.

“Please get up.”

“yes?”

“Put it up. It’ll be hard for you to walk in that condition.”

“Ha, but···.”

“It’s hard to command the warriors because of the Blue and White Dragon, so I’ll carry them.”

The moment when she got on his back after Oh Cheong-yu’s repeated urging.

Another silver needle tip visible on her crown.

I decided to take a chance.

When I reached out with a trembling hand and brought it to her crown.

Her words continued.

“Little Dragon, you should eat well when you go to Odukmun. I still feel very light. But don’t worry too much. I have a lot of…”

He put his arm around her neck and shouted, holding the silver needle stuck in her crown.

“Everyone, stand back! If you come any closer, I’ll pull out the silver needle from your head!”

Instead, I tried to put into practice the idea of ​​taking her hostage and running away.

If she was being made into an inner demon, then perhaps the end result was intended to be achieved through her, and if the silver needle was pulled out now, it was clear that they would not get what they wanted.

That was when.

Oh Cheong-yu snickers at my words.

“What a funny prank. A silver needle? It’s only used on poisonous creatures, so how could it be used on me···.”

“There’s a silver needle stuck in your head. They’re growing an internal worm inside you! So listen to me and…”

“Me? Me? What is that···. Ugh···.”

The moment when Oh Cheong-yu’s words, which started with a laugh, turned into a sharp scream that split the night sky.

“Ah···. Ah···. Aaaahhhhhhhhh!”

“miss!”

“miss!”

Suddenly, a cold voice came into my ear.

“I was going to add a puppet to ensure your safety, but you were too smart. You should just die here!”

-Phew!

“Ugh···.”

side.

It feels like something is digging into my side.

-Tsrrrr! Tsk.

In response to the call of life, Hyang-i jumped up, but hit something and fell onto the sand.

“Huh, Hyang-ah···.”

It was the moment when, despite the terrible pain, he fell off Oh Cheong-yu’s back and hugged Hyang-i on the sandy beach.

The sound of Hyang-i’s cries echoing in my ears.

-Tsuru! 『Dad! Daddy!』

As the sound of Hyang-i calling me echoed throughout my mind, the surroundings suddenly began to vibrate.

-Kurrrrrrrr.

And the earth wept, and Hyang-i’s last words were heard.

-Tsurut···. 『Who, it’s dazzling···.』

The sight and sound were slowly fading away.
