Entomologist in Sichuan Tang Clan Chapter 324

324
“Haaak···. Haaak···. Haaak···.”

-Whoa.

Nan-hwa, who was running down the mountainside, stumbled and slipped on the grass.

This was because he had lost his right arm and could not keep his balance on the slope.

“Ugh.”

Nan-hwa looked at her own arm as she fell over.

The right arm appears tattered near the elbow.

Losing an arm to a man was a desperate thing, but at that moment, Nan-hwa’s mind was filled with thoughts that it was fortunate that it ended this way.

When suddenly a red powder rises.

At that moment, he remembered the warning he had heard from the head of the Odokmun sect that the poisons had strange abilities, so he jumped back in surprise, but all the warriors of the Blood Sect except for himself, who quickly jumped back, were erased and disappeared.

Yeah, it was erased. That was the only way to express it.

Nan-hwa shuddered as the unbelievable sight from earlier came to mind.

The sight of his subordinates being scattered like dust as the red-emitting powder swirled around was terrifying enough.

-Tsrrrr!

The roar of poison can be heard from the distant Obu Ridge.

Nan-hwa, startled by the sound, quickly snapped out of her thoughts and got up.

If I get caught, I’ll end up like that again.

At that moment, blood flowed down from Nan-hwa’s arm, which was tied with torn clothes.

Perhaps the cloth that had been tied around her had come loose slightly as she fell.

Nan-hwa knelt down in her seat to stop the flowing blood, pulling one knot with her teeth and the other with her left arm.

“Ugh···.”

A searing pain at the ends of my tied arms as I pulled on the knot.

It was something incomprehensible.

Since he had mastered the martial arts of the Blood Sect, he could intentionally control the flow of blood from his wounds, but strangely enough, he could not do anything about the blood flowing from the wound he had from the butterfly earlier.

Moreover, the blood vessels in the arm were not detected.

So, there was no choice but to tear the cloth and tie it up like this, but Nan-hwa, who had been tending to her wounds, moved her body back down the mountain.

Have we reached Sambu Ridge?

Suddenly screams are heard in my ears.

“Keuuuuu. Keuuu.”

“Ugh”

Suddenly, Nan-hwa was startled by a scream and looked towards the source of the sound. The full moon, which had been obscured by passing clouds, was revealed, and something round was seen moving in the shadow of a nearby tree.

Let’s get closer, it’s a warrior of the Blood Cult.

He was a warrior who was stationed at Sambu Ridge to weaken the power of women.

One of them was buried in the ground up to its mouth, with only its nose barely sticking out.

“This, this is···.”

When Nan-hwa, who was glaring at the strange sight, checked his surroundings, most of the warriors stationed at Sambu Ridge had become the same.

It looks like it’s barely sticking its nose out of the ground.

Although his eyes were desperate for help, Nan-hwa, who had no idea what had happened here, recalled the image of his subordinates being erased earlier and ran forward without thinking.

Because if I stayed here any longer, I would end up like my missing subordinates or one of those two things.

As I ran past the warriors, the entrance to the mountain began to come into view ahead.

A woman who suddenly appeared at the entrance.

“Huh, how!?”

Nan-hwa’s eyes widened when she saw the woman.

That would be the case, since the woman from Sacheondangga, whom they thought they had cornered, had arrived here before them.

The frozen orchid stared blankly at the woman.

Because I had a feeling that this would be the last of Nanhwa.

But during the brief moment of eye contact, something strange caught Nanhwa’s eye.

The woman who saw the orchid had a very expressionless face and just tilted her head at the orchid’s appearance.

It was a different expression from before, like a doll with no emotions.

There were no wings on his back, and no flowers on his head.

‘no way!?’

It seemed like he was alone here, and for some reason he didn’t seem to be of sound mind.

I don’t know how I got there so quickly, but I thought I might make one last fuss.

Yeah, I can’t die in vain like this.

Nanhwa decided to try using the Blood Shadow God Pendant she had in her bosom.

A dark weapon that can fire twelve thin arrows that fly out and hit the opponent while spraying bloody shadows.

I decided to use what I had brought just in case.

I’m talking about the secret secret of the Blood Sect that made countless masters become guests who would never return home twenty years ago.

Nanhwa quickly flew to the side and aimed the Blood Shadow Mark in her arms at the woman.

“Die!”

And as she pressed the button on the Blood Spirit Mark without hesitation, thin marks like cicada wings flew out into the darkness and poured down on the woman’s face.

-Sigh. Sigh.

The Blood Shadow Spirit was shot at the woman with a distinctive sound, but the woman had a blank expression and did not react at all.

A joyful voice burst out of Nanhwa’s mouth.

“Okay!”

If you run away quickly now, you will survive.

Even if Wei Xiaolong didn’t know, he might be able to avoid major punishment for killing the guy’s fiancée.

But Nanhwa’s eyes widened at the sight that followed.

-Tiddy Dick.

Twelve bullets flew into the woman’s face, but they fell to the ground with a sound like they had been hit by a piece of metal.

“What!? A self-defense weapon!?”

Could it be that the woman’s blank expression was because she had broken through some barrier?

As Nan-hwa thought that and blushed in shock, the woman’s expression changed to anger and she pointed at Nan-hwa who was running towards her, wagging her finger.

-Kishishi!

“Keuhhhh.”

A momentary tightening of the suffocation.

“Wh-when on earth!? Ugh.”

As she reached out to her neck with her remaining hand in pain, she noticed that a thin thread was wrapped around her neck without her knowledge, pulling her up onto the tree.

As soon as my breathing became tight, my mind became hazy.

Nanhwa struggled with her feet, holding onto the thread with her other hand in order to untie it.

But Nan-hwa’s struggling feet slowly slowed down and her body fell limp.

***

Today I was really surprised in many ways.

From the power of Jeokwol’s older sister’s butterfly powder to Joo-Hwang’s power.

After Red Moon Sister wiped out most of the enemies.

Lady Cheongyu heard that there were people captured by Orange at the bottom of the mountain, so she came down from the mountain to check, and Orange had turned people into radishes before the harvest.

On the mountain, radishes were growing very deliciously before harvest.

‘No, is it a watermelon?’

He asked with a bewildered expression, looking at the radishes before harvest.

“No, Orange made it like this?”

-Skaa.

Then, the guy sticks his head in as if asking for praise.

He asked, patting the guy’s head with an expression of admiration.

“How on earth?”

When I asked him curiously, he bit the head of one of the plants and pulled it out like a radish.

-Whoa.

“Ugh, uhh. Please, save me. Please save me!”

The warrior, who had his head pulled out, knelt on the ground and begged, but the orange dragon that had dug into the ground bit the warrior’s ankle and dragged him underground.

I knew that oranges had the ability to soften the soil, but when I dragged them into the soil that was made soft and then hardened it again, the radish that was dragged out became a radish that was planted again.

“Ugh! Ugh, ugh!”

“Wow, that’s amazing?”

There is a way to capture the enemy like this.

Jeokwol, who was sitting on his shoulder, looked at his older sister in admiration and thought about her abilities.

‘It was definitely a sandblaster, wasn’t it?’

I could vaguely see what my sister’s abilities were.

Among the industrial machines, there is a machine called a sandblaster, and perhaps your sister’s ability is similar to that.

A sandblaster, also called a sander, is a type of polishing machine.

The operating principle is to mix sand powder with high pressure air and shoot it.

By mixing sand into high-pressure air and shooting it like this, rust or paint on the surface of an object can be easily removed through the friction of the sand.

It may be said that it is different from my older sister’s ability, but removing rust is a common method, and if you increase the air pressure or replace the sand with diamond dust, it is not a problem to melt a person.

So, this is a machine where protective gear is essential.

It didn’t seem like the wind was that strong earlier, but it seemed like Jeokwol’s older sister’s butterfly powder had some kind of special ability.

Something stronger than a diamond or capable of melting surrounding objects depending on your sister’s control.

-Skaa.

As I was touching my sister’s butterfly powder, I suddenly heard Joo-Hwang’s voice and turned my head. Then, So-Joo Cheong-Yu, who had been following me, asked.

『-Sia (What should we do with all these people?)

‘Oh, can you please gather them all in one place and plant them?’

-Sia. (Okay.)』

These guys could be gathered and handed over to the commander who handed over the Blood Cult’s deputy leader last time.

You’ll like it because you can build up achievements.

“Oh my. Please, save me!”

The sound of crying can be heard as Orange begins to transplant the radishes neatly as if making a field on one side.

-Kissit!

Let’s look in the direction of the sound. On the path leading down the mountain, a demon was approaching us.

“Oh, you’re a ghost. I guess you missed Hwa-eun?”

-Kissit.

Come to think of it, I had sent out the demon first, but it seems like the two had gotten along.

Because Hwa-eun said earlier that she couldn’t meet Yo-hwa.

The demon was holding a bamboo basket and a bowl that seemed to have been abandoned by Hwa-eun, and was dragging something behind it.

“What is that? A fairy tale?”

-Kissit.

In response to my question, the fairy lifted it up like a fish caught by a nymph, but it was a woman who had lost consciousness, with only her head sticking out, tied up like a cocoon in the fairy’s web.

“Huh? A person?”

-Kishi. Kishishi.

When the fairy’s words were heard, Lady Cheongyu served as an interpreter.

『-Sia. (They say she is the woman who attacked the demon.)

‘Is this woman also a member of the Blood Cult? She told me to plant it with Orange.’

-Sia. (Okay, Little Dragon.)

The woman said that she had been angry at the demon for attacking him and had caught him, so she decided to plant him in the field for the time being and return home.

I was hungry and it seemed like Orange would take care of everything.

You can leave Lady Cheongyu’s snake behind too.

“Then let’s all go back. When Orange is finished planting, let some snakes be released around the area to guard it.”

-Sia. “Okay.”

The house I returned to, leaving behind the oranges and snakes.

As Red Moon sucked in the powder again, the illusion disappeared and the house was revealed.

Sister Seol found me in a lost fantasy.

“Ah, Little Dragon.”

“What about Hwa-eun?”

“Yeah, I’m taking a shower. I said I wanted to wash.”

When I asked Hwa-eun because I couldn’t see her, she said she was taking a bath.

He must have been nervous and sweating a lot, so he wanted to take a bath.

‘Oh, should I make some rice in the meantime?’

While I was waiting for Hwa-eun, I thought about what to do and decided to prepare a meal.

I was hungry because I had starved for several days, and I was able to cook since I lived alone in my past life.

I cooked some rice in a pot, grilled the fish that Hwa-eun had bought, and seasoned some vegetables.

Since there was a dance party, I made some soup with the beef that Hwa-eun bought.

“Does Soryong know how to cook?”

“Yes. Because I lived alone in Haenam Island.”

“Really? But it smells really good.”

A voice is heard while I am finishing my meal.

“Little Dragon? Sister? What are you doing here?”

Hwa-eun, who had just washed up and was feeling moist, looked at us as we were about to leave the kitchen with the food in our hands, and opened her eyes wide in surprise.

“Oh, I just made some food.”

“Little Dragon? I have to do it···.”

I took Hwa-eun, who felt sorry for telling me that I had prepared the meal, to her room and had a meal.

My meal was very well received, and that is to be expected, since here in the Central Plains, we eat steamed rice, and I cooked it in a pot.

It’s a world of difference from flying rice.

“delicious!”

“Yes. More than I did…”

When we finished eating like that, Hwa-eun asked me.

“Little Dragon, but why did it take so long?”

Perhaps the question was why it took so long in the imagination, but when Lady Cheongyu heard the story, she joined our conversation and asked.

『-Sia. (So-ryong, what kind of poison did you choose?)』

“You chose it?”

Hwa-eun tilts her head at Lady Cheong-yu’s words.

He answered with a smile.

“It’s Goku.”

Then a slightly disappointed voice was heard.

『-Sia···. (I guess so···. Well, this isn’t the only chance I have. Next time, it’ll definitely be me, right?)』

I guess he was upset that I chose a raccoon instead of a snake, but as expected, this is all I could think of.

My choice didn’t seem wrong.

This level of regret was almost like not being regretful at all.

‘That was a nice choice. Maybe next time?’

As he felt relief in his heart, doubts arose about the words left by Lady Cheongyu, but then he heard Hwa-eun’s question.

“What does all this mean? Please explain it to me so I can understand.”

“So, in my mind······.”

When I told Hwa-eun what had happened in my mind, Hwa-eun looked at Young Lady Cheong-yu and asked a question.

“But what happens if you choose Wukong?”

“Oh, right. I’m curious about that too. Now that I’ve misread it, can you tell me?”

Certainly, I was curious about that too, so I nodded along with Hwa-eun, and Lady Cheong-yu tilted her head and answered.

『-shii. (Huh? You must be feeling it clearly?)』

“Can you feel it?”

“Sia. (Close your eyes and feel it.)”

I closed my eyes and concentrated on what Lady Cheongyu had said.

At first, I felt nothing, but after a while, I felt something big around me.

‘Oh, is this Hyang-i’s energy?’

A large red aura felt from the location where the room is fragrant.

And let’s focus more on the energy of Cho and Bin that can be felt outside the room.

As I began to wonder if I had sensed the children’s location, I began to feel tiny energies appearing one by one, below the room I was in, on the ceiling above my head, and around me.

It was more like a small candle than the sun-like energy of children, but it was something that could be felt clearly.

In that moment they began to move and come towards me.

Next, we hear the surprised voices of Seol Nui and Hwa Eun.

“Cow, little dragon!”

“Little dragon!”

When I opened my eyes, there were a bunch of ordinary foxes gathered around me.

Cute guys surrounding me and holding their heads up.

『-Sia. (Now all the Wukongs in the world will think of Xiaolong as a friend.)』

An unbearable scream erupted at Lady Cheongyu’s words.

“Gyaaaaaaah!?”

What better gift could there be for a poison enthusiast?
