Entomologist in Sichuan Tang Clan Chapter 368

Ice 1

-Tsur! “Okay, Dad!”

As Cho was about to quickly shoot down the mountain to pick up Bin-i, Seol-nu came forward and stopped Cho.

“Wait a minute, little dragon. Do I have to break this? What’s inside?”

“I don’t know what it is either. It’s dark and the ice makes it hard to see anything.”

“okay?”

Hwa-eun and Seol-nu are stuck to the ice wall at my answer.

Hwa-eun, who checked the inside, pointed to the white part and asked.

“Are you talking about the white thing inside?”

“Yes, Hwa-eun.”

“As Xiaolong said, I can’t see it well so I can’t tell what it is.”

“Well, I can’t see properly because of the darkness and ice, so I can’t see anything.”

Even though I concentrated my mind and spread out Myoaam Night Gong, I couldn’t confirm it, so there was no way Hwa-eun or Seol-nu could confirm anything.

The inside of the cave was dark and covered in smoky ice, so I could only see the silhouette and color information.

Those with high internal energy can see Myoaam Night Gong more clearly, because my internal energy is slightly higher than Seol’s.

I heard that Sister Seol was on the verge of Samhwachwijeong.

“What the hell? Why are you still here? Is it safe?”

Seol’s sister keeps checking the inside of the ice even though she’s in a hurry.

I had to quickly send a messenger to bring Bin-i, so I explained the situation to my sister Seol.

Because I felt like that guy was in serious condition.

It seemed like Seol was acting like that because she didn’t know the guy’s condition.

“Sister, it’s urgent. I think that guy inside has collapsed. His tongue also seems to have fallen out near his face…”

“What!? You should say that first!”

“No, my sister is crying···.”

Sister Seol scolded me, then quickly rolled up her sleeves and raised her voice.

“I’ll try to break it.”

“Who is it?”

Perhaps the reason he stopped the fire was because he was trying to break the ice himself.

However, I couldn’t help but tilt my head because the power of a sword or a sword is determined by internal strength, not strength, so it seemed like Sister Seol wouldn’t be able to break the ice.

Because I, who have stronger stamina, couldn’t break it.

Then, Seol-niu noticed the meaning of my tone and asked again.

“Why? Do you think this sister won’t wake up?”

“Oh, no.”

It is a great insult to be weak to the martial artists.

When I waved both hands with a serious expression, Sister Seol smiled and raised her arms.

“Look, Little Dragon. This is the secret technique of the Beast Palace that allows even those with little stamina to gain great strength. It’s called Bear Palm.”

If it’s called Eungjang, it means the sole of a bear’s paw. A bear’s front paw is famous for its incredible power, so Eungjang was probably a martial art that imitated the power of a bear’s front paw.

And while the normal sword is usually fired forward as if shouting out a book, the name Ungjang means that it was cast as if a bear was swinging its front paw.

Because it was the sight of Sister Seol raising her arms diagonally.

“Magnificent!”

I exclaimed in admiration, but then a thought occurred to me.

‘But isn’t that the name of a dish?’

That reminded me of a dish made with bear paws in the Central Plains.

But as I looked at my older sister without showing it, energy began to flow into my older sister’s right hand, which was raised diagonally, and my hand began to be covered with strong energy.

-Wooooooooo.

The right hand rumbles and vibrates as if a bear is howling.

It was the moment when the energy on my sister’s hand turned into something like a glove.

-Boo-woong.

My sister’s hand swung around with a whoosh, striking the ice wall in front diagonally.

-Quaqua light!

-Excellent corn corn.

Rocks falling from the cave ceiling along with dust, with a loud, ear-splitting noise.

Dust rose up and blurred my vision, making it impossible to see anything in front of me.

“Knock knock. Knock knock. Is it a success?”

When I asked if it was successful, there was a moment of silence.

And then, through the dust, Seol’s sister’s voice was heard.

“Little Dragon···.”

“Yes, sister! Was it a success!?”

I asked in a bright voice, wondering if it was successful, but my older sister’s next words were disconcerting.

“···Send it quickly.”

“yes?”

“Hey, send it quickly!”

Before I could say anything in a panic, the stray dog ​​quickly headed outside, and after a while, the dust cleared and the ice revealed a faint trace of my sister’s handprint.

It was such a shock, but it was clear that it wasn’t ordinary ice since it only left a slight palm print.

‘Is it an eternal iceberg?’

***

I spoke to the group chat room when the first one arrived.

『“Bin-ah, Unnie Cho will come pick you up. Come here when she gets there. Okay?”

-Tsurut? (Me?)

“Yeah, Bin needs help.”

-Tsuru. (You need my help?)

“Yeah. We need to break the ice here, but Dad and Aunt can’t break it. I think Bin might be able to break it. Please.”

-Tsur. (Ice?)

“Oh, what is ice? It’s a cold rock, right?”

Tsk tsk. (It’s annoying, but… well… if you ask me like that, Bin-i will go once?)

“Please, Bin-ah, I really need your help.”

The guy’s voice was cocky, saying he needed help after a long time.

When I pretended to ask for an explanation, I heard a reply that said that I would come even though I didn’t feel like it.

『-Tsuru. (Then, wait a minute. Ah! Sister is here.)』

Then, Hwa-eun, who had been listening to the conversation in the group chat room, burst into laughter.

“Haha. I guess Bin is in a good mood.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

While we were waiting and talking about Binnie, Binnie arrived before we knew it.

-Tsuru. “Dad, what is it? Is this it?”

Bin-yi, who entered the cave with an air of confidence as if he were a general, looked at the ice and snorted.

-Tsurut. “It’s really cold? But it’s nothing special.”

A spirited voice that could shatter anything in one breath.

At that moment, I heard my sister Seol’s voice from next to me.

“Ice that cannot be broken with great grandeur···.”

Everyone looked towards where the sound was coming from, and Seol Noo-ni was still caressing the ice wall.

It’s been quite some time since you swung your sword just now, so it looks like you’ve been doing that all along.

He had a look of regret on his face until now, as if he couldn’t believe that he hadn’t broken the wall.

When Bin arrived, he pushed Seol Nui away from the wall and said.

“Sister Seol, I guess it’s because the ice is so hard. Now that Binnie is here, let’s leave it to Binnie.”

“No matter how hard it is, it’s just ice, and it’s so magnificent···.”

What on earth is so magnificent that it’s like that?

As soon as Hwa-eun and Seol-nu were separated from the ice wall, Bin-i spoke again in a proud voice.

-Tsururut. “Get out of the way, Aunt. Bin-i will break it. I can’t even break something like this, so that’s why I’m doing this.”

Sister Seol didn’t hear it, but if she had, wouldn’t there have been a fight?

Anyway, as I pulled Seol Nui back, Bin stepped forward and immediately sank his teeth into the ice.

No, I tried to put it in.

-Crack. Crack.

Binnie’s teeth, which were cutting into the ice, slipped.

Bin-yi paused for a moment, then clung to the ice wall again and moved his teeth.

-Sudden. Crunch.

-Tsurut! 『Eeeeek! What is it? Why is it so hard!』

But the ice wall doesn’t budge.

Soon, the person holding the wall and having a blank expression on his face, no, the person and the poison became two.

“Ice that cannot be broken with great grandeur···.”

-Tsk tsk. “Ice that I can’t break with my teeth….”

***

‘How do I break that?’

While the two of them were in that state, I was wondering how to break the wall.

Because it seemed like it couldn’t be broken by force.

Because it could never be broken even with my older sister’s martial arts or with the teeth of the spirit being Bin.

A thought that ended with such worries.

‘By the way, why is there a wall like that? Wait, isn’t that a wall?’

While thinking about breaking the wall, the thought crossed their minds as to why such a wall existed, and at that moment, Bin, who had been holding onto the wall with a blank expression, came to his senses first.

He kept trying to bang his teeth against the wall with a blank expression, then turned around and said his teeth hurt.

-Tsurut “Dad, my tooth hurts.”

“Are you sick!?”

I was startled and checked Bin’s teeth, but there seemed to be nothing wrong on the outside.

I touched Bin’s teeth, they were very cold.

It seems that he complained that his teeth were sore from constantly scraping the ice.

It was Bin’s first time seeing ice.

“wait for a sec.”

As soon as I grabbed Bin’s teeth with both hands, Bin’s expression became relaxed.

Bin-yi tapped my head with his antennae, perhaps feeling good about his father warming his teeth with his hands.

-Tsurut. “It’s warm. Dad.”

While I was having a happy time with Bin-i for the first time in a long time, I heard the voice of my sister Seol.

“But isn’t it a little cold here?”

When I turned my head, Seol Nui, who had come to her senses, was speaking while hugging my shoulder.

It was chilly but not cold, probably because Sister Seol kept touching the ice.

“I guess it’s because of the cold air radiating from the ice.”

“Shall we light a fire?”

When asked if she should light a fire, Seol Nui clapped her hands and said,

“Fire? Oh! Right! If you light a fire, won’t all the ice melt? Let’s catch an animal and light a fire with Hyang-i’s poison!”

It was a good idea.

I couldn’t break the ice, but it kept melting, so I thought I could melt it easily if I raised the temperature.

But I shook my head.

“No. I don’t think we should light a fire.”

“why?”

The thoughts that Bin and Seol had while holding on to the ice wall.

It was because I realized that I shouldn’t break that wall at the end of that thought.

“That wall was not meant to be broken.”

“What do you mean? You can’t wake me up?”

-Tsur?

Bin and Seol look at each other with bewildered expressions on their faces, saying that they can’t break the wall.

It seemed absurd that after all the hard work up until now, he couldn’t wake up.

But it was right that it shouldn’t be broken.

The end of the thoughts I was thinking about earlier about how to break the ice.

What came to mind was nothing else.

I don’t know what kind of animal was inside, but I had a feeling it was something that lived in cold places.

So what is that wall?

How about making the inside into a refrigerator?

It seemed like something that kept the internal temperature cool.

So, isn’t the guy’s bad condition also due to the ice melting?

No, maybe the guy fell and the ice was melting.

“I think the guy inside is a cold one. He has to stay inside until winter comes and then come out in the winter. I think the guy fell down and the ice is melting now.”

“Ah… that could be possible.”

“That could certainly be the case, Little Dragon.”

-Tsrrrr.

Seol, Hwa-eun, and Bin nodded to my explanation.

Seol asked with a worried expression.

“But, So-ryong, if you can’t break that, how are you going to get that kid out? No, you can’t get him out. You have to go in and look at him? How on earth are you going to get in?”

I was asking how to rescue the guy who clearly looked sick inside, and he said with a smile.

“Well, instead of ice, you can just drill through here.”

-Knock knock.

-Tsrrrr! 『Ah, I see!』

Binnie lets out a bright cry when you tap the floor.

Binnie immediately started to dig through the floor.

“Wait a minute, Bin-ah! Don’t look over there, look towards the ceiling.”

-Tsurut! “Okay!”

If you drill a hole in the floor, all the cold air will flow out through the floor.

If the guy lived in a really cold place, he should never have drilled through the floor.

Because the cold air is heavy, it will all escape through the holes in the floor.

What needs to be broken through is the ceiling.

This way, the hot air would escape and the cold air would remain.

‘This is the principle of winter kimchi crocks and the principle of kimchi refrigerators.’

-Kuduk kkuduk.

Binnie climbed up to the ceiling and made a hole right in the ceiling, and we fell right in.

It was really cold inside, like a freezer, and there was a ridiculous guy lying in front of me, unconscious.

Seol’s sister asks with a very expectant expression when she sees him.

“Little Dragon, if you cure this, I can have it, right?”

I guess he thought I would give it to my sister-in-law since it was probably not a reptile, insect, or arthropod, but he answered with an apologetic expression.

“Sister Seol. That thing has no fur.”

It was possible because he had no hair.
