Episode 1121 If a friend calls, of course you should come. (1)
“What does this mean?”
“Does it sound like a roaring tiger?”
“No… it sounds like a cow mooing?”
“It’s Sogo Bum and why all of a sudden?”
The Green Foresters and the inspectors of the Namgung family did not understand this situation at all and closed their eyes.
However, whether Sacheondanga and Hwasan have any inkling, ‘Ah!’ He let out an exclamation and turned his head.
“no way?”
The Tang family and Hwasan disciples rushed towards the door without anyone saying anything. Then the Namgung family and Nokrimdo also got excited and started running.
Baekcheon opened the door violently and saw a sight that was a little more spectacular than he had imagined… or rather, what he had imagined.
It was a procession. A long procession along the riverside. The problem is that it’s not just people who form that line.
“Wow….”
“It’s awesome.”
“Is that a criminal?”
“Is that a snake?”
“…Then what on earth is that?”
It was a sight for which the word ‘variegated’ was perfect. A tiger that is literally the size of a house, a leopard that looks ferocious at a glance, a huge snake that looks like it could swallow a person whole…
Boooooooo!
There is even an unidentified giant animal that raises its long snake-like nose upward and lets out a cry.
“What is that?”
“Is it a monster?”
“You idiots. “That is the grand prize.”
“Target?”
“okay! elephant!”
“omg? This is my first time seeing the real thing. “Is that what an elephant looks like?”
It was surprising to see such a huge beast for the first time in my life, but the shock was even greater when I added the strong-looking men walking with them, as if they were not afraid of them.
Everyone’s eyes widened at the rare sight. Where on earth would you see something like this?
In particular, Namgung Dowi, who was seeing this for the first time, had no choice but to be amazed.
“What the hell is this…?”
Tangpae smiled bitterly and helped Namgung Dowi.
“They are the heroes of the Nanman Beast Palace.”
“Ah…”
Namgung Dowi nodded as if he finally understood. He also knew the information that the archers of the Nanman Beast Palace handle wild beasts. However, there was a big difference between what I knew in my head and actually seeing the scene with my own eyes.
“Then you are an ally.”
“exactly. “They are also followers of the Cheonwoo Alliance.”
Dangpae smiled slightly.
“The Beast Palace is a sect that started with the Cheonwoo Alliance. “Before Namgung or Nokrim.”
It would not be an exaggeration to say that, excluding Hwasan, the sect most familiar with the Beast Palace is Tang. Because of the Yunnan tea trade, there was frequent traffic. Therefore, the evaluation of them was bound to be mixed with favor.
“But…”
Puoooooooo!
Hehehehehe!
“…Do they actually go around with animals like that?”
“….”
“You must have met a lot of other people on the way here… It’s a bit weird to go around like that in broad daylight…” “
Uh… uh…”
Dangpae tilted the back of his head with a troubled look on his face. I scratched. Certainly, when you see that scene for the first time, it won’t be easy to get used to it.
“Sometimes it happens and sometimes it doesn’t… I haven’t been taking it around much lately. But this time, it took a lot of effort.”
Nangung Dowi blinked and saw the beasts coming together with the people. None of them were out of the ordinary. Although Namgung Dowi was not particularly well-versed in beasts, he felt that the beasts had a different energy from ordinary beasts.
‘Are you saying they are all spirit creatures?’
Even though Yunnan is different from the central plains, tigers the size of houses like that are not scattered everywhere. How on earth would people live in a place like that?
Even in Yunnan, it was clear that those beasts were special spiritual creatures.
Sure enough, the tiger, who was walking majestically at the head of the group, looked at Namgung Dowi and his clan members who were waiting for them, and exposed his fearsome teeth.
Crrrrr.
When the low, throaty cry characteristic of a tiger was heard, goosebumps ran down the spines of those who heard it. That crying sound stimulated people’s instinctive fear.
Namgung Dowi swallowed dry saliva. Those standing next to him also flinched and took a step back.
Crrrrr!
Seeing that, the tiger became even more energetic and slightly shrugged his neck. Then it roared so fiercely that it seemed as if it would swallow the Yangtze River whole and crush it.
Hehehehehehehe!
A wave that seems to shake the atmosphere. The roar was so tremendous that not only Namgung, but even those who knew what kind of place the Beast Palace was, instinctively grabbed the handle of the sword.
Crrrrr.
The moment when the tiger glares at everyone with bright yellow eyes and is about to roar once again.
Do do do do do do.
With the sound of cute footsteps, something quickly jumped out among Hwasan’s disciples.
“huh?”
Nangong Daowi’s eyes wavered.
What jumped out was an animal he was familiar with. A pure white weasel wearing a volcanic martial arts uniform that I have seen several times.
The weasel scurried forward and arrived right in front of the large tiger, stood on both feet and straightened its back.
“I…!”
Nangung Do-wi, who was momentarily taken aback, stretched out his hand without realizing it.
Of course, he knew that the weasel was a spirit creature, but just looking at it, the size difference between it and the tiger was so extreme. At most, the weasel was big enough to be worn around a person’s neck, but the tiger standing in front of it was much larger than an average cow.
How could you not be embarrassed when that small weasel blocked the tiger’s path?
Crrrrr.
The tiger looked at the weasel standing in front of him and revealed its terrifying fangs. It looked like he was going to bite the small weasel and cut it in half at any moment.
With clear hostility streaming from its eyes, the tiger lowered its body as if it were about to start hunting. The tiger’s stiff fur stood up arbitrarily. Its appearance was so ferocious that it looked more like a monster residing somewhere in the demon world rather than a tiger.
Hahahaha!
The moment the tiger finally let out a roar so loud that it shook its internal organs, Baek-ah, who was showing signs of discomfort and slapping his tail on the ground, rose into the air. Then, he turned his hind foot sharply and struck the tiger’s jaw in one go.
Quaaaang!
The tiger that was hit by Baek-ah’s back foot bounced back as if it were a fired cannonball, and bounced like a water swallow on the bare floor.
thud! thud! thud! thud! thud!
Nangong Daowi’s eyes popped forward.
“Wow….”
Baek-ah, who had blown away the tiger with one blow, immediately spat on the floor and pounded the floor with his back foot.
‘That…’
That’s the back view I’ve seen many times before. That…
no wait. Before that… do weasels spit? Is it really correct to call that a weasel? Can I call you that?
The tiger that had been pinned to the floor rose up, trembling.
Kiiiiiii!
The moment Baekah let out a tearful cry, Beom was so fed up that it was obvious even to a human. The tiger that ran like lightning quickly fell down in front of Baek-ah.
widely. widely. widely. widely.
Baek-ah clicked his tongue and made a very trivial noise and raised his front paw, which was so cute and insignificant compared to a tiger. And then he tapped the tiger’s cheeks.
For some reason, it felt like I was hearing a voice saying, ‘Find a concept.’
As if Namgung Dowi wasn’t the only one who heard that hidden voice, the house-sized tiger lowered his head with a sullen look on his face. It was a sight that even a three-year-old child could understand who was stronger.
Baek-ah, who had subdued the tiger in an instant, looked back at the other animals behind him with glaring eyes. The animals, which had been so majestic just a moment ago, instantly curled their tails and averted their eyes here and there.
“Hahahaha.”
At that moment, loud laughter erupted. After a while, a man who looked twice as tall as an average man stepped forward.
“Baekjeon, that guy has become even more vicious. “I thought his personality would improve a bit since I sent him to the provincial capital.”
Looking at the man, Nangung Dowi flinched for a moment. This is the first time in my life that I have seen someone who makes me feel so intimidated just by their appearance.
“Palace lord!”
On the other hand, the disciples of Huashan and Tang were delighted as soon as they saw Beast Palace Lord Meng Xiao.
‘Palace lord? ‘That person?’
There was tension in Nangong Daowi’s eyes. Indeed, the Beast Palace Lord. That feeling of intimidation was no joke.
At that time, a loud voice came from behind.
“Why did you bring all these things here?”
Meng Xiao burst into laughter as he saw Qingming walking towards him with an arrogant frown on his face.
“Please understand. “Didn’t I tell you to bring all the people you can use?”
“Are you saying they are worth using?”
“no. The ones that are useful are the others. Even though they are spirit creatures, aren’t they ultimately beasts? If we bring all those who can fight, there will be no one to control them. “Isn’t it the only way to avoid trouble?”
“Okay.”
“Don’t look at me like that. Because I didn’t bring everything with me. “I only picked out those who were a bit more vicious and had bad personalities and brought them here.”
“…is he vicious and has a bad temper?”
“huh?”
“They?”
Cheongmyeong grinned and gestured with his chin, and Meng Xiao turned his gaze toward the direction he pointed to.
chuck!
When Baek-ah raised his small front paw and pointed to one side, the wild beasts of the Beast Palace trudged towards that direction in despondency. Even at a glance, it looked like he was completely discouraged.
“…Because there is such a thing as a natural enemy.”
Even Meng Xiao was surprised by this sight and ended up laughing in despair.
“I don’t think it was like this before, but what on earth did they do to that guy? Just by looking at him, he seems to be several times stronger than when I saw him before.”
I didn’t bother to say that my personality seemed to have become several times more vicious.
Cheongmyeong said with an indifferent expression.
“I didn’t do anything in particular. “I just made them understand that if they just play and eat like they are animals, they will become expensive scarves.”
“…You worked hard.”
“Me?”
“No, that guy.”
“….”
Meng Xiao shook his head. Who would have imagined that there would be someone in the world better at handling spirit creatures than the beast archers?
Baek-ah, who had herded all the house-sized animals into the warehouse with a single wave of his hand, tapped the floor with his hind feet and came right in front of Cheongmyeong. Then, he put his arms around his waist and pushed his stomach forward.
“what?”
bang! bang!
When Baekah hit the floor with her tail, Cheongmyeong laughed as if it was the same.
“Okay, okay. Good work.”
Kiyi!
Baek-Ah nodded and quickly climbed on top of Cheongmyeong and stood on one of his shoulders. Cheongmyeong glanced at Baekah and touched his black nose with his index finger.
“Instead of.”
key?
“If those bastards get caught causing trouble in the future, you will be screwed.”
….
“Let’s do well.”
Baek-ah, who had become sullen, fell helplessly on Cheong-myeong’s shoulder.
Everyone who was watching the absurd situation shook their heads.
‘Are people great or are animals great?’
‘Anyway, there’s nothing common about the coincidences happening here.’
‘Let’s not think about it. It’s easy to just accept it.’
Cheongmyeong looked at Meng Xiao and smiled.
“It must have been difficult to bring all the animals with you, but you arrived earlier than expected. “You had a hard time coming from far away.”
“You’re saying all kinds of things.”
Meng Xiao smiled. It was a smile so soft and warm that you could not have imagined it when you only looked at its intimidating appearance.
“If a friend calls me, of course I should come.”
Cheongmyeong laughed at those words.
“I met a friend, so I guess I should have a drink for the first time in a while.”
“Hahahaha! “I knew that would happen, so I brought all the Dowonhyang (桃原香).”
“oh? That amazing drink! Big! “It’s going to be the first time in a long time!”
The large Maengso and Cheongmyeong, who were slightly smaller than an ordinary person, managed to put their arms around each other’s shoulders and walked inside, giggling.
Nangong Daowi, who was standing blankly, asked with a bewildered face.
“Are those two really that close?”
“…surprisingly so.”
“….”
Nangong Do-wi thought again. It was amazing that someone with such a bad personality was so friendly.
