Chapter 209 – Martial Arts District (4)

Siwoo arrived at the only guesthouse in the village.

When I opened the door, there was a creaking sound. It was soggy because it was not oiled.

“Hmm..?”

The man who was dozing in the chair reflexively grabbed Park Do. That natural behavior told me about the safety of this place.

“A foreigner?”

The middle-aged man with a full beard slowly let go of his guard.

“It’s been a while since I’ve been a guest. There is no separate meal, and thirty hermits a night.”

It was outrageously expensive. However, seeing that the currency was used, it seemed that there was communication with the outside world.

It was also annoying to haggle.

There was an overflow of gold because he had robbed Muyoungshintu’s warehouse in the past. There were so many that they filled a room.

He tore off a nugget of gold the size of his fist with his fingers. He rolled the lump that had come off like clay and rolled it into a circle. And he pressed hard.

A flat piece of gold the size of a fingernail was created. Sighed and said.

“Can this be enough?”

The middle-aged man widened his eyes and changed his attitude.

“Enough and more! I’ll give you the best room!”

He nodded his head, but he looked at him and said.

“Hmmmm… At first glance, samurai, you look very rich with a noble face. Don’t you need this? If you use it at night, it will be comfortable to sleep.”

A middle-aged man stuck out his neck. When I opened it, there were three black sticks inside. A bittersweet scent lingered in his nostrils.

It was a stick that looked like incense burned at a temple. I looked closely, but at least it didn’t seem poisonous.

“What is this?”
“Yes?”

He narrowed his eyes and opened his mouth.

“Could you come all the way here without the parasite banquet?”
“Parasite banquet?”

“Huh.. To come through so many poisonous insects. It seems that you are more skilled than I thought.”

Clearing his throat, he explained about the scented candle.

“When you light a fire, it burns quickly and smokes. If you breathe that smoke, the poisonous bug won’t attack you for about half a day. It’s a scented herb made from herbs that guys don’t like.”

“There was something like this? Haven’t you heard of it in the village near Dokgok?”

“Haha. This is a vision made in our town. Of course, the idiots around the entrance or wandering around don’t know. It’s not like there aren’t any gatherers coming this far. Would you like them to inform me of my food line?”

He continued.

“Eventually, it became a secret that only a few knew. I thought Musa-nim would have known since he came all the way here.”

Now the question is solved. This was the way other gatherers got to and from Dokgok.

When I threw a piece of gold for scented candles, I laughed out loud. I arrived at the room with him cringing.

“This is the largest room. Are you okay?”

There were 4 bunks in a spacious room. To be honest, it wasn’t worth the money. But it was enough to take a few days off.

“This is enough.”
“Haha. Then rest in peace.”

“Oh, wait.”
“Yes?”

I caught him trying to get out.

“Do you know where the sanhwangcho colony is nearby? The more, the better.”

“Ah.. It looks like you came to get sanhwangcho as well. In that case, you’d better hire a guide.”

He nodded his head as he listened to the explanation that followed. I let him go and sat down on the bed.

Creak.

A musty smell came up. I took out the finest mattress from my inventory and threw it onto the bed.

I lay down on a soft, clean mat and closed my eyes. I was thinking of relieving the fatigue accumulated from wading through the dense bush.

*

I slept for two hours and woke up feeling refreshed. Thanks to the strong body, the fatigue was relieved.

“Hmm..”

I sat cross-legged on the bed.

I recalled the owner’s explanation. Even if you hire a guide, it usually takes one to two months to dig dozens of Sanhwangcho.

It was clear that he would be suspicious if he kept digging for an herb that had no effect in five days.

‘Though that doesn’t really matter.’

There was nothing wrong with living a little suspiciously. Still, a month or two was too long.

The deeper you go into Dokgok, the higher the chance of finding Sanhwangcho. Of course, the level of poisons also rises and more pops out.

‘Should I sweep it up with a flamethrower?’

A little impulsive, but I stopped thinking. If you do, even the Sanhwangcho will be completely burned.

‘It’s too slow if I keep using the magic core.’

Time won’t actually pass, but you have to keep going back and forth to the other world.

I frowned as I pondered what to do.

A solution seems to come to mind. I felt tickled.

“Ah!”

I took out an old book from my inventory. A book obtained from the warehouse after clearing out the black magicians.

‘Secret Flame Art.’

A secret technique that strikes and subdues enemies with only the power of consciousness without magic.

Throwing away all mana was the introductory condition, so I promised the following. I didn’t know if it would be possible in this place with a strange fog.

He tapped her on the knee and turned over the bookshelf.

*

Two days later.

I read the interpretation of the secret art of chlorination and closed the book.

“Whoa..”

I focused on staring at the apple on the floor.

‘Move!’

By the time time passes and your eyes get sore. I felt a tickle tickling between my eyes.

Shred!

With the feeling that something is drilling in my head. Something white was fired at the apple.

I felt a little lethargic and my eyes lit up.

I finally succeeded the first time. I closed my eyes and recalled the sensation from before.

‘Did he do it like this?’

Shhh! Something shot out with a sound like hallucinations. Upon closer inspection, it was a translucent navy blue thread.

As soon as I thought I missed you, the shooting thread stopped.

He moved freely according to his will. It was stiff at first, but it became more natural as time went on.

‘Ah!’

In just two days, he succeeded in initiating the secret art of chlorination. I don’t know if it’s because of the high merit or the spirit trained in silos, but it was fast.

Jeongyeom weft.

He refined his thoughts and made them into yarn.

This was the proof of achieving 1-star secret art. A thread made only with the power of consciousness.

When I stretched out my hand, the thread flew out. I examined the ball of thread entangled in my palm.

Translucent navy blue thread. It was cool to the touch. When I pressed it with my finger, it passed through with a slight resistance.

‘It’s interesting, but.’

If this was the end, there was no point in learning it. I focused on staring at the apple.

An indigo thread shot from between the eyebrows.

In an instant, he was stuck in an apple and disappeared. It was so fast that it was difficult for even the most skilled masters to dodge it.

There was no change in his apology, but he nodded his head in satisfaction. In the first place, this was a secret technique that worked for conscious beings.

Sseuseuk.

Just then, I heard something crawling. It was a small salamander the size of a finger.

I saw the guy going between the beds and shot the jeongyeom weft.

Dig!

It flew in the blink of an eye and hit the salamander’s head.

‘Stop!’

The one who had been crawling restlessly stopped moving. It hardened as if it had been stuffed.

I just trembled for over a minute. I tried to touch the stopped guy, but it was the same.

He nodded in satisfaction as he looked at the man who had hardened like a stone statue.

Although it is a small beast, it controlled its opponents only with the power of consciousness. Unlike the simple psychokinesis, the spirit subdued the body.

*

It’s been 3 days since I entered Dokgok.

After being introduced by the owner of the inn, he hired a guide.

“Lol. Just trust our brothers.”

The two rat-like men bowed their heads. Outwardly, he was not polite.

Looking at them, I narrowed my eyes. For some reason, it felt strange.

“Then, we’ll just light a banquet and leave.”
“It is.”

As the brothers grinned, a faint wave was felt. It felt like stabbing him in the back.

‘Is this the sense enhancement that the secret art of chlorination is talking about?’

Their feelings. It smelled of greed. I thought I knew what they were thinking.

After stroking his chin, he followed them into the woods.

Sasak.

I looked down at the spider hiding in the rock crevice. A guy the size of a fist was looking this way.

‘The five senses have also become more sensitive.’

As soon as I came out of town, I noticed the difference. The senses are strengthened by the effect of the secret chlorination technique.

How long did it take

The younger of the brothers pointed to the yellow grass.

“This is sanhwangcho.”

Unlike what I bought in the store, it was green. It was almost golden yellow.

Took.

The roots were carefully pulled out. When I shake it, it smells like peppermint. Just smelling it made my head clear.

He nodded in satisfaction and put it in his arms. I looked around, but one gave up.

“Didn’t you say that you knew the colony with a heap of Sanhwangcho? Could it be that it is here?”

The rat-headed man laughed haha ​​and said.

“It can’t be. We have to go a long way there.”

It took about two more hours.

By the time the guides gasped. We arrived at an empty lot about 10 meters away.

“Here.. What?!”

The ground was a mess. It was upside down like a field cleared by wild boars.

The self-confident guides were taken aback.

“Now, wait a minute. If you wait here, I will look around and come back!”

Without saying anything, they hurriedly left.

He picked up a stick and shook the mangled ground. There was no trace of yellow grass.

It was full of blue eggs the size of quail eggs.

‘Ehh.’

I stared at the guys hurriedly walking away, then let out a sigh. Murder and greed. The feelings he sensed through the secret technique of chlorination were true.

– Hush. Shih!

As if waiting, sharp sounds were heard from all directions.

Blue-horned snakes crawled out of the ground. It was an auditory secret that a small film was attached to its back and it could fly for a short time.

Far beyond the fog. Eyes met with the rat brother.

Malice was felt on the skin.

“Under..”

The corners of their mouths went up. He laughed at him with a mischievous smile.

“Older brother! Success! Now all his gold is ours!”
“Hehe… You naive bastard. If you get bitten by secret hearing, no matter how good you are… Uh uh…?”

He grinned and opened his mouth wide. There was a pop as if his jaw had fallen out.

“Me-what is that!”

It is said that the instantaneous speed is twice as fast as that of an arrow. Dozens of winged venomous snakes flew at the same time.

However.

A long stick of silence protruded from somewhere. It was so heavy that I could hear the howling of the wind from here.

Such an iron bar swung at an invisible speed.

Papapak!

Dozens of snakes rushing at them burst out at the same time. All of them turned into pieces of meat at the whirled silence rod.

“Ha, if you get bitten even once…!”

Seeing the slaughter of hearing secretaries, his complexion turned pale. Fifty or sixty attacked at the same time, but not a single one reached it.

“Hey..!”
“Bounce, bounce!”

The brothers immediately turned around and ran. It didn’t matter who came first, it was simultaneous.

Sheeah!

With a sound crossing the air.

Fuck!

“Aagh!!”

My older brother’s screams of pain rang out. His brother turned his head and freaked out.

A blunt steel rod pierced his thigh like a sharp spear.

It was still vibrating from how hard it was.

“Sah, save me!”
“Brother Mi, I’m sorry!”

I abandoned my older brother who eagerly reached out and kicked the ground. How many steps did he take? His body jerked to a halt.

“Town..!?”

As if he had been poisoned with paralysis, he couldn’t even lift a finger. I couldn’t speak and moaned.

Bubbly.

Suddenly, I heard footsteps behind me.
