Chapter 93 : Poison Venerable
Thump- Thuuump- Rumuuuuble-
Vibrations ring from above.
“What is it?”
The sound is too loud to say they are testing the chanisms.
I close my eyes and focus my senses.
-Ergency! Ergency!
-Intruders passed the ninth gateway!
-Is there no way to stop them?!
-Since they entered up to the ninth gateway, the last formation will trigger!
-Tsk, that's expensive!
-We have to bring formation masters again to reinstall it.
-Argh!
-Where is the Elder?
-Soone went to bring him!
-Bring him quickly! If they pass even the tenth gateway, they will et that guy!
-If he escapes.......
Shiverrrr-
-I'm getting goosebumps. Don't make such assumptions!
-Anyway, those guys won't be able to pass the formation!
I opened my eyes.
“Really, intruders. How many years has it been?”
Furthermore, they say they might even pass all the layered gateways and co all the way here.
“Can I... see the light for the first ti in a while?”
I don't think I'll be able to leave anyway.
It seems the Elder hasn't arrived yet, but the mont the Elder arrives, the intruders will all lt into a handful of bloody water.
Whimper, whimper.
At that mont, the poisonous creatures started to move.
“What? My friends above all burned to death?”
What on earth is happening above?
Until now, I've heard stories of poison creatures biting and killing people, but this is the first ti hearing of a person burning poison creatures to death.
“Perhaps.......”
The suspicious person living on the lowest floor of the Tomb of the Poison Venerable thought that this intruder might be a little different.
***
Training Cave, we entered the tenth gateway.
“Captain, will it really be okay?”
“Isn't there anyone among us with knowledge of formations?”
“Doesn't the Divine Physician Elder know formations well either?”
“Ahem, what do you expect from a physician?”
Seol Ye-rin looked back at with a worried expression.
It looked like an expression asking if there really was a way.
“Maybe... it might be possible.”
There is no certainty.
But since the Sword Venerable Elder and Demon Queen Elder said it would work, it should be possible.
“Entering.”
Tap.
As I took a step,
Whoosh-
I intuitively felt that I had entered the formation.
“Everyone.......”
I was going to tell them to stay alert, but I didn't see anyone.
Everyone had disappeared.
“Elders.”
-.......
It seems I can't communicate with the Sword Venerable and the Demon Queen either.
I looked ahead.
They say there are types of formations too, but I don't know what kind of formation this is.
Until now, things related to poison were the main focus, but,
Fwoosh-
“Ah?”
It's flas.
“What is this.......”
It is fully understandable.
Until now, through various poisons like poison creatures, venomous insects, and poison smoke, they thoroughly prepared with poison and caught the people entering off guard.
“Fla Hell.”
Fire transfers to my whole body.
To be honest,
‘It tickles.’
But I decided to deal with it quickly.
It's a fla that is laughable to , but if everyone is experiencing this formation.
Everyone must be feeling the pain of their bodies burning.
“Strong power.......”
Overwhelms everything.
I clenched my fist.
Fla Smashing Body Fist.
My fist touched the formation.
***
Fwoosh.
It's flas.
Seol Ye-rin scratched her head, making her intense worry seem pointless.
“I guess it was a needless worry.”
The flas did not touch Seol Ye-rin at all.
“Overwhelming power.......”
Can destroy the formation, was it?
I taught Seol Ye-rin the thod the Sword Venerable and the Demon Queen taught too.
It was an action taken just in case, though I would destroy the formation even if she stayed still.
“I can't just live relying on you forever.”
Ice Soul Extinguishing Fla Palm.
Extre Yin Qi was emitted from Seol Ye-rin's extended palm.
The mont the Extre Yin extinguishes all flas burst out!
Craaaack- Shatter!
The formation started to crumble down.
“You startled .”
When I opened my eyes, my palm was touching Seol Ye-rin's palm.
“Sister Rin could do it too.”
“...Did we succeed?”
“Yeah, well done.”
Looking around, the party was coming to their senses.
“Whew, I was really surprised.”
Cheon Deung-jin was making an expression as if she was trembling.
“Maybe because the Young Master spits fire every day, it wasn't as scary as I thought!”
“It was like daily life.”
“It was helpful.”
“I realized the fact that I cannot yet bring out overwhelming power. Captain, I learned a thing or two.”
It seed everyone thought of smashing it rather than finding the Gate of Life upon entering the formation.
‘Is this why martial artists of the North Sea hear that they are ignorant?’
Anyway, result-wise, we solved it easily.
“Is it over now?”
“No, there is still one left.”
Rumuuuuble.
We broke through even the last gateway of the Training Cave.
Next is.
“Stairs?”
Stairs going down to the underground appeared.
“Are we all going down together?”
“Below is full of poisonous creatures, will it be okay?”
“Eek.”
“Are you going to burn them away?”
“Since there is a person, that seems difficult.”
“A person?”
“Are you saying there is a person living below this?”
At Tae Un-seo's question, I nodded my head.
“It seems faster to hear the circumstances directly.”
After saying that, I started to go down first.
Shortly after.
“Amazing, you people. To think I can see this many people alive.”
Squirm squirm-
I saw venomous insects and poisonous creatures circling around the suspicious person.
A suspicious person with long hair hanging down appeared in front of the party.
“I really... didn't know a person would be living here.”
Han Seol-bi covered her mouth.
“If the Young Master said a person lives here, then a person lives here.”
Wi Ji-yeong also frowned and stared at the suspicious person.
“Na?”
“None.”
“What?”
“Isn't that sothing given only to people who live like people?”
I examined the side of the suspicious person.
As I heard from the Sword Venerable and the Demon Queen, poisonous creatures are swarming.
And next to that,
‘A book?’
I see a book.
‘You can read a book in this dark space?’
I heard those who have lived their whole lives in darkness can acquire vision that can see without light.
Isn't the suspicious person also such a case?
“From whom did you learn speech and writing?”
“From those who locked up here.”
“Are you imprisoned?”
“It is true I am imprisoned, but I am also afraid to go out.”
“What were you doing here?”
“You have many questions.”
“Well, we also ended up coming in by chance.”
“I don't know the details. The mission I received was just to learn the martial arts of a martial artist called the Poison Venerable.”
......Does that an this is really the Poison Venerable's tomb?
‘Elder Sword Venerable, Elder Demon Queen.’
-If it is about the Ten Venerables under the Heavens, we don't know either.
-We can't know where the Poison Venerable ended his life.
However.
The Sword Venerable and the Demon Queen hovered next to the suspicious person.
-Han (Resentnt) is felt here.
It ans a resentful soul exists down there.
If so.
“Mu-myeong, do you want to get out of here?”
“...Mu-myeong?”
“Since you have no na, I have no choice but to call you that for now.”
“...It is a na I like.”
“I'm glad you like it. So, the answer to the question?”
“...If I can go out, I want to go out.”
At the single word of going outside.
I started to feel aspiration and longing.
“You talk as if we can't get out.”
“That is.......”
“You bastards!”
Rumble.
I felt several people coming down from the top of the stairs.
“What the hell are you guys doing!”
“That is what we want to ask.”
I looked at the clothes worn by those who ca down from above, and my eyes sparkled.
“Poison Palace... it was those guys?”
***
The Elder of the Poison Palace of the Southern Barbarians, Poison Freak Tak Mu-dok, looked at the faces of those who eventually broke through all the chanism formations and ca down to the Poison Venerable's tomb.
‘Where on earth did these guys co from?’
He was crazy curious about how they knew the Tomb of the Poison Venerable was here and how they broke through all ten chanisms.
These chanisms were the masterpiece of the century created by Tak Mu-dok.
Once that guy acquired the Poison Venerable's martial arts, he intended to release the treasure map into the Jianghu, bring everyone here, and then kill them.
Especially those Sichuan Tang Clan bastards.
Tak Mu-dok's masterpiece of the century, made to take revenge on those guys.
‘Returned to nothingness.’
He could not... forgive them at all.
“I don't know how you got through all ten gateways, but now that this seat has co here, I will turn you into a handful of bloody water!”
Tak Mu-dok raised both hands.
Then, odorless and colorless poison began to spew from both hands.
Now if he scatters this poison on them, they will all be poisoned and beco bloody water.
“Fla Butterfly.”
Flutter-
Matching Tak Mu-dok's release of poison, a single butterfly flew towards him.
Fwoosh!
“Kuaaaak!”
Clearly, it is odorless and colorless poison.
The red butterfly set fire to Tak Mu-dok's body along with the poison.
“Y, You learned Fire Arts!”
Of all things, fire.
There was a guy who learned martial arts completely incompatible with Tak Mu-dok.
He quickly shook off the fire and looked around.
If that guy doesn't work, even if he has to take the others hostage.
Crackle-
“I, Ice?”
This ti, his feet were bound.
In a situation where he couldn't move.
“Fall to hell.”
Roar!
Fire caught on Tak Mu-dok's head.
“Urgh-”
He couldn't even scream to his heart's content.
Thud.
“E, Elder.......”
He died.
Gulp-
The poison n of the Poison Palace couldn't budge.
“You guys can handle the rest, right?”
“Yes!”
“Of course!”
“It's real combat, get ready!”
“Yes!”
While the Small Snow Squad was cleaning up the remaining poison n of the Poison Palace.
I started talking with Mu-myeong again.
“Now, it seems there is no one who can stop you from going outside. What do you want to do?”
Mu-myeong looked at the light coming down from the top of the stairs.
It was incredibly dazzling.
The fact that he can see the light, the fact that he can get out of here, the fact that there is no one who can stop him.
Mu-myeong felt a marvelous and novel feeling.
“I want to go out.”
The only thought passing through his mind right now.
I want to go out.
“Good, let's go out together, Mu-myeong.”
“Good.”
“But before that.”
I started to approach Mu-myeong.
“We have to take this and leave.”
I threw a fist towards the Poison Venerable's tomb.
