Episode 131: It’s Just the Two of You (3)
‘Oh no, these crazy people...’
The sight inside the underground cave was truly shocking.
Prisons lined up left and right along a deep passage. Two or three people were crouching in pairs in a small space of less than one pyeong.
There were all kinds of people, regardless of gender or age.
Warriors could be seen standing guard throughout the passage.
The person who brought him pointed out one of them and asked.
“What about Danju?”
“He is inside. But what about that child?”
“The best product has arrived. So much so that I can do business with him.”
“It went well. Even if you don’t, you’re here at the right time.”
“Then I guess I should go right away and report it. “This guy is locked up and monitored closely.”
You call yourself a product.
What do you mean, a slave trader? Unbelievably, nothing else came to mind.
Slavery is prohibited by law in the country. If so, the intention is to sell it to the western region where trade is possible.
But there was something I didn’t like.
‘There must be government troops stationed in Dunhuang?’
Destination: Anxi Island Lake in Dunhuang. At least ten thousand soldiers were stationed nearby.
Even in the desert, there would be limits to slave trading while avoiding their surveillance network.
I stopped by briefly with the intention of robbing the thieves’ stronghold and collecting travel expenses, but it seemed like something bigger was lurking behind it.
Clap!
It was the sound of one of the prison doors opening.
“Go in!”
Eugene San obediently went inside.
There was no need to reveal my identity now. Because I was able to shatter things like rusty iron bars with my inner strength.
It was a very small space, but since I was small, I had no discomfort sitting down.
He sat cross-legged and pondered his thoughts.
‘I’m sure there’s something else behind these guys. Otherwise, we wouldn’t be able to move in such an organized manner.’
It was not a task to wipe out slave traders. No matter how many you have, you will never be your opponent.
But before that, I thought it would be a good idea to understand the situation a little more. This is because, inferred from life experience, collusion between slave traders and the Anseo provincial government was suspected.
When I looked to the side, I saw someone with their head buried between their knees. He looked like he was in deep despair.
– Hey young man. Have you already lost hope?
The young man who heard the sound of Mt. Yujin raised his head and looked around.
But there was only one kid sitting next to him. Keep your mouth shut.
“...?”
Once again, his head vibrated and he heard someone’s voice.
– How did you get caught?
He was an ordinary person who had absolutely nothing to do with Moorim.
The sound he heard for the first time in his life sounded like a voice from heaven to the young man. Like a ray of light appearing in despair.
He trembled, raising his clasped hands above his head.
“...Oh God.”
It seemed like I had completely misunderstood.
Jinsan Yu sighed and whispered softly.
“If you want to get out of here, tell me what you know. “The only person who can help you here is Nobu.”
He looked at Yujinsan with a blank face.
He was a kid who looked to be no older than ten years old at most. But what is the meaning of the spirit that flows through both eyes and the tone of speech that is full of experience?
He felt it instinctively. The child in front of you is something you cannot touch.
“Who are you?”
“You can think whatever you want, whether it’s God or whatever. “You won’t believe me even if I tell you anyway.”
“...Then really?”
Yu Jin-san gently grabbed the young man’s wrist.
As the profound and warm energy was delivered, his mind and body quickly stabilized.
“Okay, let’s just ask a few questions first. “How did you get caught?”
“...I am a merchant who travels between Chang’an and Dunhuang. “I encountered thieves not long ago and ended up being captured here.”
In the blink of an eye, his new brother was mercilessly thrown against the wall on the other side.
Kwaang-!!!
The wall caved in and thick dust spread out.
“Ugh!”
The surprise attack was successful, but Yu Jin-san’s expression was not very bright. It was because it did not give the other person as much of an impact as expected.
‘You can show off your self-defense skills in such a short period of time?’
As expected, it was not an easy opponent.
I wonder if there was even a window. There was no need to take risks and fight.
Eugene San, who had made up his mind, ran without looking back.
Ta-ta-tat-!
“Are you you bastard?”
“Aren’t you going to stand there!?”
I could hear the slave traders swearing behind me, but now was not the time to worry about it. This is because Changryong’s team members, who had already adjusted their posture, were following along.
A terrifying, murderous energy felt from behind. He was very angry.
Eugene San, who got out of the cave, ran like crazy towards where his granddaughter was.
It took half a mile to get there on horseback, but if you were to attack with all your might, it wouldn’t even take an eclipse.
“Yes you guy!!”
Shouting came from behind me without stopping. It seemed like they were going to tear it to shreds if they caught it.
Is it because my legs are short? Perhaps due to physical disadvantage, the gap continued to get closer.
If this continues, we will be caught up before we arrive.
After catching his breath, Jin-san Yu suddenly stopped his meditation.
Then he turned around and started waving his hands. It looked like a white crane flapping its wings.
“Did I look so easy!?”
He was the head of a martial arts family.
I didn’t run away because I was scared. I just didn’t want to take the risk.
At that moment, the Changryong member who was chasing him raised his right hand diagonally.
“this guy!!”
A powerful flow of energy. And when I saw the hand covered in red water, I couldn’t help but feel nervous.
However, Yu Jin-san did not lose and exhaled tension from both hands and exchanged blows with him.
Kwaaaaang-!!!
An explosion of energy occurred, creating a storm in the surrounding sand.
Inside, the two new models were bouncing in opposite directions. It was because of the repulsion force of the impact.
“Ugh!”
Yu Jin-san turned his back and continued running.
The shock coming from both arms was not normal. There were no injuries, but I was still feeling stiffness.
‘Damn you.’
The clash just before was intended to widen the distance again.
When I glanced back, it seemed that the other person was not completely shocked.
However, it seemed as if his will to capture himself had not wavered at all.
“You died today.”
“okay? But you’re going to die in a little while, right?”
“...?”
The distance was getting closer again, but I didn’t have to worry anymore. Because we were almost at our destination.
After a while, the waiting place appeared in the distance.
A clean and clear desert lake revealed between exotic trees.
Inside, a girl was splashing in the water. He seemed very excited as he hugged a broken log and fluttered about.
“Baby, grandpa is here!!”
Yu Seol, who was already watching, raised one hand and waved it.
“Come in quickly and have fun!”
Yujin Mountain, which was running towards the lakeside, kicked off the ground and flew up high. The Changryong team members who followed behind him also jumped after him without hesitation.
fault-! Taaa-!
The two soared side by side as if piercing the sky, and immediately saw a strange sight.
A corner around the lakeside. The sight of dozens of people with puffy faces kneeling in a row.
At that moment, an anxiety that could not be hidden appeared on Changryong’s face. But there was no turning back now. Because his new model, which was soaring, was already landing in the lake.
