Episode 399: Youngsan Geumhu’s Talent (1)
The hole hidden by the illusion formation method was a cliff a thousand miles away.
Namgung Cheol-hu, who had jumped blindly, was embarrassed and was struggling with his limbs.
How could I have imagined that it would fall endlessly like this?
However, even though he was a martial arts expert in name, he could not have died from a fall.
Confused, he quickly looked around.
Fortunately, on the outskirts, unidentifiable stems continued endlessly downwards. It must be a means of transportation for monkeys.
Up!
He was barely able to stop his fall by grabbing one of the stems in the air.
“phew. “What the hell is going on here?”
When I looked down while holding the stem, a completely different world unfolded.
It was a grassland completely untouched by human hands.
It was a beautiful and rare scenery that could not be found anywhere else on earth.
Is this the valley of the abyss?
While he hesitated for a moment. Another shadow was coming down from above at high speed.
“Head of the house, let me go down first!”
“....”
The person flying through the air and descending leisurely was none other than Cheonyuhoeju.
The baby golden monkey was still sitting on top of his head, grinning.
While I was staring at that scene in fascination. A familiar voice shouted from above his head.
“Namgoong, could you possibly be scared at this height!?”
King Munjong, who came down prepared to some extent, seemed relaxed.
Namgung Cheolhu, who was looking at him with disgust, soon let go of his hand on the stem and began to descend quickly.
Taaa-!
The three people who landed on the grassland looked around with surprised faces.
Flowers were in full bloom on the wide open meadow, and the chirping of birds tickled my ears.
There was a clear lake in the center, and countless fruit trees were lined up around it.
It was literally a paradise environment for monkeys.
Yu Seol could not close his mouth at the beautiful sight.
“Wow... am I right? “There really was an abyssal valley!?”
Munjong, who was looking around, responded with admiration.
“I did not doubt the Lord’s words. Not even a little bit.”
It was Namgung Cheolhu who doubted those words.
Feeling irritated, he cleared his throat and hurriedly changed his mind.
“Hmm! I think this was the crater of an ancient volcano. “Looking at the structure, there’s no doubt about it.”
“How does the head of the Namgung family know that?”
“It seems like something I saw in a book... Shouldn’t we move quickly?”
It was not the time to be here like this.
The monkeys gathered together were rushing somewhere. It looked like he was probably going to fight.
“Hurry up and follow us too.”
The monkeys’ movement speed was very fast, but it was not comparable to the martial arts people.
The three people, shoulder to shoulder, followed at a certain distance from the rear.
Beyond the hill that rose like a ridge, a completely different landscape unfolded.
The black and white twins muttered with surprised faces at that sight.
“Why are there so many? “Not an army of monkeys.”
“I guess you knew you would come and were waiting for me in advance?”
It looked like a large number of monkeys gathered together and preparing for defense.
The number was almost five times that.
“Kkeikeik-! “Kkeiigik-!!”
The screams of the monkeys on both sides began to echo ceaselessly through the abyss.
“Ah... what should I do?”
Yoo Seol’s face, watching from afar, was full of anxiety.
Yeongsan Geumhu’s group was in a very disadvantageous situation in terms of numbers.
At that time, Munjong, who was on the right, slightly lowered his head and suggested something.
“Just give me an order, Lord. “I will go and sort everything out.”
No matter how many monkeys there are, if an absolute expert of the Hwajing level steps forward, he will be able to annihilate them in an instant.
But Yoo Seol shook his head horizontally.
And then, as if waiting, a dull sound reached here.
Tsk-!
It was the sound of Yeongsan Geumhu being thrown down.
He was hit in the side by the giant ape’s huge grip.
The situation for the subordinates who followed behind was even worse.
The gold bar he was holding hit the two approaching monkeys at the same time.
Byak-!!!
It was so incredibly powerful that the monkeys’ upper and lower bodies were separated in an instant.
The black and white pair of eyes were wide open as if they were seeing something in vain.
“That’s impossible...”
The giant monkey’s strength and movements were on a different level compared to Yeongsan Geumhu.
It was to the point where most of the martial arts people could not withstand even a single task.
Yeongsan Geumhu circled around the guy, clutching his injured side. They are probably looking for an opportunity to dig in.
But there was no gap.
No, he instinctively knew that if he rushed forward like this, he would die.
“Come back, Youngsan!!”
As Yoo Seol shouted, Yeongsan Geumhu, who came to his senses, turned his back and started running away.
He fought valiantly, but lost the battle.
The subordinates followed the captain and began to run away, but not many monkeys escaped safely.
“I knew it would be like this.”
“Haa...”
Yu Seol had a strong desire to help, but he wasn’t going to move if Yeongsan Geumhu didn’t want him to.
“What about the safe? Should we take that away?”
“I told you. “Our Youngsan will take it away...”
“But even if that bear bastard wakes up from death, I won’t be able to defeat him.”
If so, you have no choice but to prepare the next move.
Yu Seol sighed as if trying to let go of his anger.
“I have a way.”
* * *
The herd of Yeongsangeumhu, which numbered over two hundred, had less than half left.
At this point, the atmosphere in Huagu Mountain was gloomy.
Yeongsan Geumhu was just squatting in the corner and crying all day.
He was so upset that he didn’t even look at his favorite fruit when I brought him it.
Yoo Seol patted Yeongsan Geumhu on the back with a sullen expression.
“Cheer up, Youngsan. “I will help you win.”
On the right, a black-and-white pair was approaching, shoulder to shoulder.
As the distance got closer, Namgung Cheolhu muttered something softly.
“Now that I think about it, I remember hearing it from my grandmother when I was young. “It’s a legend about a huge monkey with black fur.”
“What is that?”
“Probably his name was Heukgeoshinhu (黑巨神猴). “It is a beast called the god of monkeys, and it is said to have a huge body like a bear and move more nimbly than a tiger.”
It was a reasonable guess.
But whether that guy was a black giant or something, that wasn’t the important thing.
I was planning to make Yeongsan Geumhu beat him somehow.
After organizing his thoughts, Yu Seol began to curl up like a monkey.
“What are you doing now, Lord?”
Yoo Seol, who had been walking like a monkey, regained balance by supporting his body with both arms on Yonghwachang.
“From now on, I’m going to make the back roll that our Youngsan will learn.”
Are you going to create a monkey fighting technique out of nowhere? King Munjong craned his neck and asked with a puzzled look on his face.
“Yeah? “Are you sure you’re going to teach martial arts to a monkey right now?”
“that’s right. So, family heads, please help us as well.”
In any case, it was a long time before the Asura Church came.
There was still time left as the other masters of the Cheonyuhoe had to arrive before then.
“Is that really possible?”
Yu Seol was already aware of Yeongsan Geumhu’s abilities.
The enormous spiritual power that has been stored up for hundreds of years can replace the inner strength of the martial arts people, and their body structure and body movements, which are more flexible than those of humans, are optimized for learning martial arts.
It was like a more advantageous condition than any other muscle.
In addition, high intelligence and innate spiritual purity. It also meant that it was much easier to rise to a higher level than humans.
“Our Youngsan is a genius. Let’s try it.”
