Taaaat!
Even as he kicked the ground, Yoonjong’s eyes reflexively turned backwards.
The party members were all quickly following along with serious expressions on their faces. Everyone knows this. What a dangerous place they are jumping into right now.
But what filled Yunjong’s mind now was not worry about the danger lurking ahead.
‘Is it possible?’
No matter how much you think about it, it is time-consuming.
Considering the places they have traversed so far, it may not be said that Wuhan is actually that far away from Shaanxi, but the important thing is not the physical distance. The relative distance was important in terms of whether one could arrive early compared to Sapaeryeon.
Yunjong’s face, looking back at the party members, also slowly hardens.
No matter how hard you think, there are not many ways to reach Wuhan before Sapaeryeon.
This is because it is difficult for them to increase their speed blindly. People of all kinds are gathered together and running. Just as the factions they belong to are different and the weapons they use are different, their martial arts levels are also different, so it is bound to be a mess.
So I can’t speed up properly. The moment you speed past your limits, there will be stragglers.
You might think that getting to Wuhan on time is the priority, regardless of whether anyone gets left behind or not… … .
‘Unless you are sure what the Sapaeryeon is aiming for, you should never create a loser.’
If we are not careful, the stragglers may be ‘gleaned’ by the Sapaeryeon. This is the worst situation that must be avoided.
The more I thought about it, the more my mind became heavy.
Cheongmyeong knows that since he gave the order, it is right to move like lightning. There is not the slightest doubt about this.
However, the burden of knowing that the lives of so many people depended on me gradually weighed on my toes.
‘Can I do it?’
Yoonjong glanced to the side.
I saw Jogeol running not far away. His face was also unusually depressed.
‘He too… … .’
Yoonjong became somewhat bitter.
Even Jo Geol, who was usually uncool and busy with frivolous behavior, seemed to feel pressured as she was put in this situation. After all, the position of deputy head was not easy, so there was no way that Jo Geol would not be burdened at all. As a death penalty, we should look into it a little more.
At that moment, Zhao Geol’s face became slightly darker. Yoonjong opened his mouth without realizing it.
“Walk.”
“… … .”
“Walk.”
“ah!”
Jo Geol must have been startled by the voice calling me and suddenly made eye contact. Yunjong asked softly.
“Is it too much of a burden?”
“Uh, that’s… … . Yes, death penalty. Umm. “This is definitely not easy.”
“okay. “It has to be that way.”
“No matter how much I think about it, I can’t think of anything suitable.”
“huh?”
Jogeol grabbed my curly hair with both hands.
“I don’t think I can use Gap-eul Byeongjeongmu even if I die, but the black and white, red, blue and yellow are too obvious… … .”
“… … Yes?”
“ah! Blue dragon! How about Cheongnyongdang? It looks classic, but doesn’t it? no… … . is not it. “Do you think Baekhodang would be better?”
… … Yunjong’s face began to distort slightly.
“What are you worrying about?”
“Didn’t Cheongmyeong tell you to decide the name of the party appropriately? You should choose a name that is simple yet sticks in your head as soon as you hear it… … .”
… … Wow.
Yunjong’s wrist, holding the sword handle, was slightly twisted. As for his nature, it’s really… … .
“Is something like a name important now?”
“Oh, death penalty! What kind of carefree talk are you talking about? If you do it wrong, you could get caught up in a fight, and if you try to do it here and here, it could end up all mixed up! As soon as I heard it, I thought, ‘Ah! ‘I just have to go here!’ “There has to be a name for it!”
“uh… … .”
This is a bit difficult to refute, isn’t it?
Yoonjong gritted his teeth as his pride was hurt at being speechless to Jo Geol, who was no one else. Jo Geol still spoke seriously, not knowing what he was feeling.
“Look over there. Aren’t the other vice owners also looking serious? “Everyone is struggling to come up with a suitable name right now.”
“… … “If that’s really the case, Gangho will be ruined.”
“yes? why?”
“… … .”
Instead of answering, Yunjong sighed until the ground disappeared. He was worried that that guy would feel pressured, so he felt like the biggest idiot in the world.
At that time, Jo Geol asked.
“But shouldn’t we speed up a bit?”
“It’s impossible.”
“yes? why? “I think you’re following along well?”
“I guess it’s here.”
“What do you mean by that?”
Jogeol tilted his head and looked behind him. Yoonjong took a long breath and said.
“They say that the method of leading and moving people is different depending on the size.”
His gaze was cast far towards the end of the group.
“The more people catch up with you, the faster you have to run behind. The end is probably almost at its limit now. “Those with weak martial arts skills may already be in danger of falling behind.”
“yes? Then isn’t it a big deal? “Someone should go and repair it.”
“I’m doing it.”
“Who?”
“… … .”
“Hehehe! Hehehehe! Oh my gosh, I’m dying!”
“Oh, it’s noisy!”
“No! “Are you really going to die?”
Lim So-byeong, drenched in sweat, was frowning with his eyes half-closed. Cheongmyeong glanced at him as if he was pitiful and gave him a reprimand.
“What kind of bastard called Green Forest King is panting like this? “He must have grown up in the mountains eating only good things!”
“Yes, each person’s organs are different! For me, using your head is a skill, but using your body is not a skill. “I was born weak to begin with!”
“Is that what a warrior would say?”
“Oh, no, how do you actually do something like that…” … .”
To be precise, I am confident that I will not lag behind others when it comes to using my strength itself. However, my physical strength, or endurance, was not at all.
The crown he was wearing on his head was already soaked with sweat from his forehead, crumpled and falling down, and although it was a little crumpled, his neat school clothes were sticking to his body as if they were soaked in the rain, putting him in even more pain as he already had trouble running. It was being pushed in.
“Then why are you wearing something like that? Take that off at least!”
“A civil servant does not wear civil uniform, so what do you wear? “This is my pride!”
“The bandit bastard will freeze.”
“No, that! You keep touching things you shouldn’t touch… … . Hehe! Ah-oh! Don’t talk to me. “Because I’m out of breath!”
“Anyway, I feel like I’m going to die. “The last time I went to Hangzhou, it ran well.”
“It’s different from back then… … . Ah-oh! “Don’t tell me!”
Lim So-byeong waved his hands as if he had no strength to respond any further. I didn’t even have the strength to vent the resentment welling up inside me.
Who is this all because of?
When heading to Hangzhou, all I had to do was run hard. But that wasn’t the case now, so that was the problem.
“It’s falling over there.”
“Ah, sitpal!”
Lim So-byeong, who was out of breath, ran towards where Cheongmyeong pointed and supported the back of the person who was falling behind.
“Okay, thank you… … .”
“Thank you and tell me to run, you bastard…” … . Before I plunged the knife into my stomach and threw it away. No, just cut off the hair growth that won’t grow anyway? uh?”
“Hi! “S-sorry!”
The bloody and creepy face of Lim So-byeong suddenly appeared in front of him, and he was horrified and ran forward, squeezing all the strength he had from breastfeeding.
Lim So-byeong, who had unconsciously brought out the true nature of the green forest flowing in his blood, only adjusted his expression when he saw the back.
In his eyes, he clearly saw another row of people moving around and the distance widening. The true nature of the green forest arises again.
“run! Run and don’t fall behind, you bastards! “Run faster!”
As Lim So-byeong shouted bitterly, those who were behind gritted their teeth once again and caught up with the front row. Lim So-byeong cursed inwardly.
‘Damn it.’
Annoyance flooded me.
Theory and practice are different.
If a long line is formed while moving, the gap in front naturally widens just by walking slowly. In order to maintain the line, you have to walk and run repeatedly at the back. Otherwise, a long queue will be created that will be incomparable to the first.
Those who don’t know much may ask whether the long queues are the problem. However, it is absolutely unacceptable to break ranks in a situation where you never know when and where a pack of wildcats called Sapae-ryeon may attack.
As a result, Cheongmyeong and Lim So-byeong have no choice but to run here and there like people with flowers on their heads, comforting those who have fallen behind and pushing them up.
Yes, I know. It’s something that someone must do.
but!
“Why am I doing that, why!”
I knew all of this in my head, but when I actually tried to deal with it myself, it literally felt like death.
Why should weak(?) Lim So-byeong be doing this when there are so many physically strong guys ahead of him?
This unreasonable thing was clearly all the trick of that evil bastard.
“Hehe! Hehe!”
Anyway, thanks to his and Cheongmyeong’s movements, the various Cheonwoo demons are somehow maintaining their ranks and running. If we can just reach infinity like this, maybe… … .
“The Green Forest King.”
“… … why? “What else are you trying to order?”
Lim So-byeong looked back at Cheongmyeong with an annoyed face. However, surprisingly, when Cheongmyeong’s face became serious, he relaxed his expression.
Cheongmyeong asked.
“What do you think?”
“What?”
“The story that came out earlier.”
“So what do you say… … .”
Cheongmyeong’s eyes sank slightly.
“There is a certain tendency in what he does. “What this guy is doing now won’t be far outside that scope.”
“… … .”
“Is that really true?”
Lim So-byeong’s face hardens slightly. Why am I asking this?
“… … Well, as I said before, I don’t think it will go that way this time, but I think there was definitely a tendency like that in the past, as the head of the family said. “But is there some problem?”
Cheongmyeong, who was thinking deeply about something in silence, soon shook his head.
“no.”
“No, if you started talking, you have to finish it… … .”
“hey. Hey, I’m lost again. “Run.”
“… … Ah-oh! “Because I’m really dirty!”
Lim So-byeong ran, pulling up his ample sleeves to above his elbows. Fire spewed from his eyes.
“You bastard, are you really going to bury me here? uh? Are you Nokrim? “Is this guy crazy?”
Cheongmyeong, who was staring at Lim So-byeong running toward the straggler, slowly turned his gaze. In an infinite direction, far away, beyond those running ahead.
No, to be exact, to the place where those who went to infinity before them will be.
‘Jang Il-so… … .’
A deep sense of discomfort came over me. There’s something I can’t say for sure… … It has definitely changed.
‘What are you thinking?’
Bright blue tendons bulged on the back of Cheongmyeong’s hand as he instinctively grasped the handle of the sword.
* * *
Sigh.
The feet of red shoes slowly stepped on the bushes.
“Hmm.”
The gaze of the person wrapped in a colorful red long robe was directed to the winding ridge and a high mountain peak.
Although it was still far away, the peak sticking out through the pure white clouds gave off a mysterious atmosphere just by the shape of the ridge.
“Is it that place?”
The household name answers briefly.
“Yes, Lord Ryeon. “I am a shaman.”
“hmm.”
It was a beautiful combination of green grass, light ocher rocks, and pure white clouds. The corner of Jang Il-so’s mouth gently curled up.
“well. “You don’t know that, do you?”
“… … yes?”
“I wonder if that person will still be called a shaman in the future.”
He realized the meaning of Hu Jiamyeong and nodded.
“surely… … “Now you won’t know.”
“yes?”
A feeling of satisfaction appeared on Jang Il-so’s lips.
“Let’s go. “He’s probably waiting for me so desperately, so I have to live up to his expectations.”
“yes. Everyone move forward!”
The household name was immediately ordered. The large army began to move again.
Jang Il-so, who had been watching the army moving forward with snake eyes, glanced to the side.
“I hope it’s not too late… … . Then it’s no fun, right? is not it?”
Chaos raged like a storm between his long, bent eyes.
