Chapter 298 – Rescue (1)
Chunhwa gazed at the black axis caressing her body her. When he stretched out his hand toward his tail her, Cheonhwa kicked the black axis with all his might her.
Even if magic is sealed, that physical ability does not go anywhere. His innate physical ability his as a nine-tailed fox gave great pain even to a fully hydrated black axis.
“Turn it off! This year….”
“Son. I am a warrior who fought the enemy even while you were suckling at your mother’s milk. You should be willing to risk your life to make fun of this body.”
“…… How long that momentum will last, look forward to it.”
The black axis said so and left the tent. The horse was a tent, but it was a prison that was tightly closed on all sides.
However, Chun-hwa, who had barely regained her rest, sighed and brought a grass shed nearby and began wiping the area touched by the black axis.
That filthy young black cow had touched it with dirty hands, so the whole body was covered with dirt.
‘It’s full of power… I’m fine.’
Chunhwa recalled the kick from before and recalled the reaction of the black axis. A kick that goes perfectly against an unwary opponent.
Even though it hit a vital point, the black axis endured by simply letting out a moan. If it had been hit by an ordinary beastman, the stomach would have been pierced, and even if it had been hit by a stronger warrior, it would have been an attack that would have ruptured all organs.
‘Is that the power of complete hydration?’
A skill that only ancient beastmen with very thick blood of the Beast God could do. I would have thought there would be someone in the modern age who would realize that technology.
She lay her body on the skins on the floor and prayed about the future of the Beasts. I hope that the black axis is a beast that can make macroscopic judgments…….

“So, where is Cheonhwa?”
Dojin asked the prisoner kneeling in front of him. In order to confine a person of the level of Cheonhwa, there are not one or two things required.
A prison and shackles to confine the nine-tailed fox’s outstanding physical abilities, and a seal to seal the sorcery were needed.
All of that must be something that is very difficult to find…… Hey, if you want to plot a rebellion, you must have prepared that much in advance.
No matter how much the Beast Tribe looks like a mixture of half-animal and half-human, they are not real beasts.
‘If you don’t even think about that and just attack it, that’s a beast….’
The prisoner, who knelt in front of her, avoided Dojin’s gaze her, trembling her eyes randomly as if in trouble.
When Do-jin tilted her head and asked him again where the treasure was trapped, he carefully shook her head and opened her mouth.
“Mo, I don’t know…….”
“I don’t know?”
“Yes, yes! I really don’t know!”
“Okay?”
Sreung-As soon as the sword was lightly pulled out, Soo-in began to shake his hands with tears in his eyes.
“Really! I really don’t know! There’s no way a low-level person like me knew where such a person of interest was imprisoned in the first place!”
“That too.”
“Yes! I don’t lie! Really!”
“Then, can you give a rough idea of where you are trapped?”
“Yes…?”
Dojin grinned and met Suin at eye level. It is true that he does not know where he is trapped. I wouldn’t share such important information with just anyone.
However, unlike humans, the tribe of beasts is not highly developed. It is a tribal society where people live in just a few tents on the vast plains.
If it’s such a narrow place, you can find the cheonhwa with a little searching. With the help of a local, you’ll find it faster.
After hearing Dojin’s words, Suin shook his head in a cold sweat. Even the information that has been spit out so far can be regarded as an act of transfer, but to guide Do-jin into the village at all?
If he did that, he would be completely branded as a traitor and would not be able to live. He’d rather die, being branded a traitor…….
“No. Just kill me.”
“Well… Okay.”
“Yes?”
Hearing the word to kill, Do-jin immediately drew his sword and prepared to swing it at the beast’s neck.
You crazy psychopath! The prisoner, who did not know that he would kill without hesitation, immediately apologized by putting his head to the ground.
“Come to think of it, I think I know where it is! We will guide you!”
“You say kill?”
“Sorry! Help me!”
The limit of a prisoner was that he had no choice but to be frightened if a knife was thrust right in front of his eyes.
Even a noble priest who gave his life to God could not easily throw away his life if a knife was thrust into his throat his, but a prisoner without a single conviction could not throw his life away his.
Do-jin roughly read the thoughts of such a prisoner and made him faithfully carry out his mission.
“Don’t worry. If I rescue Cheonhwa, I’ll tell you to take good care of her.”
“And, will the chieftain forgive me…….”
“How are you? A strong guy threatens right in front of you, but you can pretend to cooperate for a while. Is it not?”
It was a test to see if he had any ultimate motives for betraying himself, while at the same time telling him not to care about betraying Cheonhwa.
Soo-in, not noticing the fact, confided in me.
“Anyway, betraying so swiftly is a bit…….”
“Ah, what are you doing? Even if I told you well?”
Placing his hand on the shoulder of a prisoner who had passed the test once, Do-jin dragged him to the carriage.
After sitting the prisoner in the driver’s seat, he told them to talk well with the other prisoners before entering the carriage.
Noah, who was trembling with Bree in his arms in the carriage, looked at Dojin who entered the carriage and asked cautiously.
“… Turn off, are you done?”
“No, this is the beginning.”
“Yes? I… Can’t we just go back?”
“Are you going to walk alone here? It will take more than a month.”
“Huh-ah, I was distracted by a rare herb…….”
Noah was frustrated by the fact that he entered the chariot on his own. At the same time, I realized that I couldn’t get out of here until everything was over.
I didn’t come because I wanted to, but once I got in, I should do my best.
“…… Mr. Dojin.”
“Why?”
“Please stop for a second.”
“…… Are you really going to walk?”
“Yes? What are you talking about?”
Hearing Dojin’s words, Noah tilted his head and took out the alchemist’s kit placed in the corner of the carriage.
It contained all kinds of alchemy equipment, blood sampling tools, and reagents for emergency use.
Noah got off the wagon with his tools and approached the fallen prisoners on the ground.
“What are you doing?”
“Hydrogen is a research material that is hard to find…… Oh, if you have nothing to do, could you help me?”
“…… What can I do?”
“First, blood is collected…… I will do an experiment.”
Noah put on a mad scientist-like expression, and he started pouring all sorts of reagents into the syringe one by one.
Squeaking, Noah, who confirmed that the drug had gone into the syringe, opened his mouth expressionlessly as he inserted the syringe into the inmates who passed out casually.
“Ah, Mr. Do-jin, can you bring the prisoners together? Gather three people in a row.”
“Uh, yes…….”
“Thank you. I will finish the experiment quickly.”
Bugurrrrrrup.
Su-in, whom Noah had inserted a syringe into, has a seizure and starts twisting his body around.
The fact that he moved away despite fainting means that the drug Noah put in it had a special effect.
Observing the beastman wriggling, Noah silently wrote down the symptoms of the beastman in a notebook.
When the beast stopped moving, Noah took out more reagent and opened his mouth lightly.
“Because I have a lot to experiment with… Can we move on quickly?”
Then, the experiment was conducted on five prisoners at the same time.
The prisoner, who was watching it from the top of the carriage, trembled in fear.
She wondered if she was going to go away too…….
* * *
The prisoner, who was patrolling near the village, spotted a carriage running from afar and quickly blew his whistle.
The beastmen who were patrolling around heard the sound and quickly gathered in one place.
They approached the carriage and pointed their weapons. No matter how stupid the monster driving the wagon is, the blade recognizes it.
Quik, they stopped the wagon and tilted their heads as they found a human and a beastman sitting in the coachman’s seat.
“What? I haven’t heard of a carriage coming.”
“Ah, so this is…….”
Su-in, who is sitting in the driver’s seat, starts to look at her with a puzzled look. When they realize something is wrong and try to subdue the wagon, the wagon’s window opens and something flies in.
The beastmen instinctively swung their weapons and knocked something flying. The glass bottle shatters and the potion inside spreads out in all directions.
“Ugh!”
Seeing the potion splash in all directions, they quickly covered their noses, but they were a step too late.
The potion had already reached their bodies, and the smell was not the kind of drug that could clog their noses.
Unless you have a gas mask and dustproof clothing made with modern science and technology, you cannot stop the potion from being absorbed through your skin.
“Turn it off!?”
The beastmen who touched the potion collapsed one by one. Seeing a colleague colleague falling down, the prisoner trying to save him also collapses.
Watching the excellent warriors get incapacitated by only one potion bottle, the beastman driving the wagon looked back with a devastated expression.
“What are you doing? Not leaving.”
“Yes, yes yes…….”
The reason why he was fine as a wagon driver was simple. Because Noah had given him the antidote beforehand.
In other words, without an antidote, he could collapse helplessly like that.
‘Are these guys human?’
Doesn’t it defeat beast tribe warriors with swordsmanship, and even neutralizes them with poison, which has never been heard of before…….
He suspected that the two people in the wagon were demons.
