Chapter 253
253fury. One-horned Demon Dragon (1)
After about an hour.
The bandits, who had turned from snow to night, gathered at Guilchae. The number was roughly two hundred..
Baek Soo-ryong narrowed his eyes as he looked at the disciples who had led the bandits..
“Those guys…….”
The process of ‘persuading’ the bandits must have been quite satisfying, as they all had pleasant smiles on their faces. It seems like a lot has accumulated over time..
“Big brother! We are here!”
Heonwongang shouted, waving his hand from afar. Baek Soo-ryong avoided his embarrassed disciple's gaze and pretended not to notice..
After a while, the disciples gathered together again..
Baek Soo-ryong asked them out of curiosity..
“I didn't kill him or anything.?”
This operation was only meaningful if the bandits' voluntary cooperation was obtained..
A little bit of finger scratching is okay..
However, if you saw more blood than that, you could temporarily coerce them with fear, but it would be difficult to get their proper cooperation..
Ya Su-hyeok, who took on the name of the Green Detective, must have been in trouble too..
Fortunately, that didn't happen. Everyone was considerate of Ya Su-hyuk’s position..
“no way. What do you think of us.”
“First, I showed them the official documents, and they said they wouldn't believe me, so I used my skills to make them believe me..”
“I believed him right away after I gave him a little squeeze.?”
“Those guys. They thought of us as experts of the Green League..”
The bandits firmly believed that the students from the Blue Dragon Academy who suddenly appeared were the same Nokrim, and after seeing their martial arts skills, they had no choice but to believe that the official document from the Nokrimmaeng that they brought was also real..
It could be said that the reason why the bandits were brought in so quickly was the proper combination of the official documents of the Nokrimmaeng and the martial arts of the disciples..
but…….
The disciples seemed to have been 'persuaded' in a very scary way, as the words 'Nokrim Oma' and 'Nokrim Ogwi' could be heard among the quietly whispering bandits..
I sighed naturally.
“Political faction review is something they are good at..”
Who on earth taught these guys?…….
Oh, I taught you.
Baek Soo-ryong slightly cleared his throat and looked back at Ya Soo-hyuk and said..
“It looks like we're all here, so go ahead and explain the plan..”
“yes? It's me?”
Ya Soo-hyuk’s eyes widened..
I thought that if I just brought the bandits here, Baeksuryong would take care of the rest..
“I know how to fight, I don't have much to say…….”
“You have to do this yourself..”
Baek Soo-ryong interrupted Ya Soo-hyuk. And said in a firm tone.
“We are outsiders after all. It may be easy to suppress them with force, but leading them to cooperate sincerely is something that only you, fellow Green Foresters, can do..”
“…….”
Although it has nothing to do with martial arts, this was also a class..
Finishing what you started.
Baek Soo-ryong said while pushing Ya Soo-hyuk's big back..
“Don't worry, just try it. If you feel like you can’t decide, I’ll help you..”
“……yes.”
Ya Su-hyuk nodded and jumped up onto a large rock..
“Phew…….”
Ya Su-hyuk took a moment to catch his breath as all eyes were focused on him..
While organizing my thoughts on what to say, I looked at the nearly two hundred bandits gathered in one place..
There were many disapproving expressions..
Most of the bandits here were forced to follow because of an official document with the name of a green robed monk, or because they were afraid of the masters who appeared out of nowhere. Your heart will be full of dissatisfaction.
‘It would be better to fight for love right now..’
Cold sweat broke out from my tightly clenched fists..
It might be as simple as shaking your fist. If you threaten them with their lives, most people will do as you tell them, even if they are forced to do so..
But even if other people don't know, you shouldn't do that yourself. That was no different from those who despise and ignore green forests..
‘All of these are brothers of green forest..’
At that moment, Ya Soo-hyuk realized what he had to say..
thud!
Ya Soo-hyuk stamped his foot and said.
“I am Ya Su-hyeok, the son of the green robed monk..”
The moment Baek Soo-ryong heard Ya Soo-hyuk's first words, he felt a little goosebumps appear on his forearms..
‘That guy. You're born with it.’
The boy who had been so nervous just now was nowhere to be found..
It was as if a huge tiger was looking down at the beasts gathered below..
It's a completely different temperament from martial arts talent..
The temperament of a natural ruler was being revealed..
“As you may have already heard, a monster called Dokgaksa attacked Guilchae, and many brothers were killed and injured. Everyone take a look around..”
The bandits did as Ya Su-hyeok told them and looked around..
Gu Il-chae was seen being attacked by a poisonous monk..
Although the bodies were removed and the traces of destruction were erased, the traces of the gruesome fight remained, along with the blood stains that could not be erased..
Ya Soo-hyuk said in a low voice..
“See it with your own eyes. Traces of them fighting and dying.”
……Gulp.
In the silence, I heard someone swallowing saliva..
Ya Su-hyuk closed his eyes for a moment as if in silent meditation and then slowly opened them..
And with a stern expression, I slowly opened my mouth, organizing what I wanted to say..
“If we don't catch him quickly, other wild plants will soon be attacked as well. I don't know where it will be.”
“That's why we gathered the brothers together like this. To prepare before further damage occurs.”
“There were some conflicts along the way, but I hope you understand..”
Ya Su-hyuk was not an eloquent speaker. His voice was rough and the words he used were crude..
But it had the power to focus people..
At that moment, in Baek Soo-ryong’s eyes, a fierce evil was seen overlapping Ya Soo-hyeok’s face..
The strongest and most rogue ruler in the history of Nokrim..
King Nokrimtu was a man who could make the bandits of 72 Nokrim houses jump into the fire of hell with a single word..
What's more, is it possible that the reason why the blood religion persuaded King Nokrimtu's subordinates to revolt internally was because they were concerned that the power of the green forest would grow to the point where it could threaten the blood religion?.
“The Doggaksa guy is very dangerous. So I'm thinking of just asking for a search. If you find traces of him, me and the masters here will beat him to death..”
Ya Su-hyeok's temperament resembles Meng Ho-ak..
Of course, it was still absurd to compare the two..
If Meng Ho-eok was literally a mountain tiger, Ya Su-hyeok was just a tiger cub whose teeth had not yet grown..
But even the cub was a tiger..
“Nokrim must never forget Eunwon! I learned this from my adoptive father, Monk Green..”
“He said that if the price is not accurately calculated by the other party, Nokrim will be treated with contempt and contempt forever..”
“I also learned that no matter how much we are looked down upon and ignored, we must help each other as brothers in Green Forest..”
Every single word of Ya Soo-hyuk pierced the hearts of those who heard it like a dagger..
A feeling of shame seeped into the eyes that were full of dissatisfaction at being forcibly dragged in, and my heart, which had been trying to pass the time as I was told and then go back, boiled as hot as lava..
thud-!
Once again, Ya Su-hyuk stamped his foot..
“I swear, I will find the snake cub that killed Greenlim's brothers, cut it into pieces, boil the meat, and eat it. Even if no one helps me, I will honor my brothers who died alone..”
“……!!”
“……!!”
The declaration of the young Nokrimdo, who still had traces of youth, made something resonate in the hearts of those who heard it..
“shit! I will help too!”
Someone among the bandits who couldn't stand it any longer shouted.
It was difficult at first, but from then on, voices came out one after another like a flood..
“Nokrim does not forget Eunwon.!”
“A favor must be repaid tenfold, and a grudge must be repaid a hundredfold.!”
“Let's definitely find that snake bastard.!”
“Let's avenge our brothers! We must protect our area!”
The bandits soon began to become truly enthusiastic about this young ruler. The men of Green Forest, filled with emotion, shouted in unison..
Wow!
The cheers were enormous. The bandits with their weapons drawn shouted at the top of their lungs..
Kyaaa!
Eun-ho, who was hovering around Ya Soo-hyuk, jumped up and stood on his shoulder. And roared with the bandits.
Seeing the unfamiliar appearance of Ya Su-hyeok, seniors and classmates at Cheongryong Academy wiped away the skin that had grown on their arms..
“That guy…….”
“I don’t think this is the Ya Su-hyuk we knew..”
“……I'm getting goosebumps right now.”
But the person who was more surprised than anyone else was Baek Soo-ryong..
“Huh…….”
I thought it would be a success if I just explained the plan to the bandits properly..
Because the Ya Su-hyuk he knew was not a man with great speaking skills..
However, Ya Su-hyeok captured over 200 bandits as if he was showing off..
They were now ready to jump into the fire at Ya Su-hyeok's command..
Baek Soo-ryong recalled the image of King Green Forest of the past..
“……Master Maeng. I think I've found your successor..”
It did not simply refer to a successor who passed down martial arts..
Because Geo Sang-woong was also the one who learned the five principles of Nokrim Eighteen Styles..
“The successor to Green Forest who will make your lifelong dream come true..”
Maybe at this moment, I was watching the birth of a new Green Forest King..
* * *
About 200 bandits launched a search for Cheonnaji around Dokgaksa Temple and the last traces of Eunho's disappearance..
“Be sure to find it!”
“I even found traces of crawling ants.!”
There was no need to give a separate command. The owners of each mountain village divided their territory and began to search the mountain..
The task was to find the enemy who killed Nokrim's brothers. The snow-covered Green Foresters forgot to eat and drink and were engrossed in it..
As a result of the bandits persistently searching the mountain,.
“Found it!”
Two days after starting the search, the hiding place of Dokgaksa was found..
“There is a hidden pond down there, and strange beasts are gathering around it one by one..”
“What strange beasts??”
“I also saw a dragon with four arms, a bear with blue eyes, and a fox with many tails. These are people I've never seen before. Where on earth have you been hiding all this time?…….”
“They are spirit creatures..”
Baek Soo-ryong, who had been listening quietly, joined the conversation..
In the meantime, the bandits found many traces, but they were all unrelated to Dokgaksa Temple..
But something was different this time.
A pond where spirit creatures gather. There was no way something like that could have happened naturally..
“Where is it? Guide me.”
As soon as Baeksu-ryong arrived in front of the pond following the bandits, he felt it..
‘It's here.’
I felt a huge energy wriggling in the foggy pond..
A much more powerful magical energy than you thought.).
And animals with black eyes were guarding the area around the pond..
Crrrrr……
Crrrrrrr……
The number of animals surrounding the pond exceeded dozens and was increasing..
‘There are only four people who look like spirits..’
They say it would be a miracle to meet just one spirit creature in one's life, but with four, it would not be an exaggeration to say that all the spirit creatures in this area had gathered together..
“What the hell is that…….”
“Where did it all come from??”
The expressions of the disciples who followed Baek Soo-ryong also became stiff..
The energy emitted by the animals was formidable..
If humans approached the pond, they would attack at any moment..
Baek Soo-ryong said to Ya Soo-hyuk.
“Tell the Green Foresters to form a formation. I also told them not to move too hastily..”
“yes!”
It was then.
The entire foggy pond began to boil, and a stream of water exploded into the sky from its center..
Puhwaaaak!
Water droplets flew in all directions. A huge being rose up from the pond. The sky suddenly darkened.
The Green Foresters who looked up at the sky were scared and took a step back. Some even fell down because their legs gave out..
“What is that…….”
“I didn't say it was a pear or a snake.?”
Can something that big be called a snake?.
The thing floating in the sky looked very spiritual, but at the same time, an ominous energy emanated from its pitch-black body. The length of the horn alone was over six feet long..
Baek Soo-ryong called Gu Il-chae's debt owner and asked..
“The poisoned snake you saw is that guy.?”
“Rain, it was similar, but much smaller than that one. twice as big…….”
“……Looks like he escaped or something. That's no longer a single-legged death or something like that..”
White Water Dragon remembered a being described similarly to that in a book he read a long time ago..
“One-horned Demon Dragon…….”
The Imoogi that failed to ascend to heaven became a monster, and the monster became stronger by eating humans and spirits..
Krrrralalalalalala!
When the single-horned demon dragon roared, the eyes of the animals surrounding the pond turned over and started running toward the humans..
In response, Baeksu-ryong stepped forward and shouted..
“Get in formation! If we can't stop it here, everyone will die.!”
Soon the fight began.
