Constituent contract - Chapter 531



Only Noblemtl

Episode 531 The odds are only about 50/50

“It would have been easier if you had informed the Muk clan and sent a few of the strongest men in the world to hunt them down together. Why did you insist on taking this risk?”

Yongjin asked as if he didn’t understand.

“There are two reasons why I didn’t tell the Mook family. First, since I discovered it a year ago, I’m not sure if the burrowing spiders, which change territory frequently, are still here.

Second, Dantop has stopped supplying elixir to the Muk family. It seems like there are people fighting against the Muk family behind the scenes.

Excluding the Mok family, the three major clans of Cheongju simultaneously challenged the Mok family, and a scramble for resources began in Cheongju. The Mok family, currently at a disadvantage, will have no time to worry about the hidden spider’s crystal core. Otherwise, they would not have entrusted the task to the mercenary group.”

Mokseol said with a sigh.

Yongjin’s eyes narrowed. Was Dantop trying to show off his power? Dantop, who was stabbed by Hwaunjong, swung his sword at the Muk family and cut off their supply of elixir.

In addition, Dantop supported other clans behind the scenes to disrupt the business of the Mok family. Not only did he cut off the elixir, but he also cut off the resources. It was a truly vicious method.

I also thought I knew who the three great men Mokseol had mentioned were. I had heard their conversation when Mokyeon was blocked by the three powerful men in the Goryeo Secret Scripture. Since they all knew each other, they must have come from those three forces.

However, it seems that the three strong men defeated the last two, and the remaining one is unknown whether he died or lived due to the confusion.

I never thought that those three families would be in conflict with the Mok family. It would be impossible without someone supporting them from behind. That person would probably be Dantop.

Last time, Dantop lost face because of the Hwaunjong. So this time, he wants to establish his dignity as the Muk family and warn the clans.

“Looking for a place to die.”

Yongjin said quietly.

“If we die, we die. No matter what, we must repay the favor. This is all we can do for the Muk family, who are in an emergency situation right now.”

Mokseol said with a bitter smile.

“I didn’t say that to you.”

Yongjin shook his head and said.

“Although my fighting skills are inferior to yours, I know a lot about the habits of demons, so I will be of help.”

“Really?”

Mokseol said with a surprised face.

“Yes. I’m used to it because I’ve always been around beasts. This time I was attacked by a pack of beasts, but don’t worry, I’m an expert in this area.”

Yongjin said with a smile.

“Priest, lodging and food have been provided.”

A girl came running and said.

“Okay. Yongjin, if it’s okay with you, how about changing into clothes like ours? That outfit looks a bit weird…”

The shepherd said.

Yongjin was wearing a blue long robe, but everyone else, regardless of gender, was wearing black light clothing. Yongjin’s clothes definitely stood out.

In addition, his entire body was covered in dirt and blood stains, making him look terrible. The space ring had everything, but no spare clothes were prepared.

“thank you.”

When Yongjin accepted, the girl quickly took out new clothes and handed them to Yongjin.

“Your face is so dirty. Sister, I’ll help you wash it. And fix your hair too.”

The girl suddenly and boldly grabbed Yongjin and dragged him to the lakeside.

“Hey, hey… that’s a bit….”

Yongjin was taken aback, not knowing that the girl would act so boldly.

“Don’t take too long. Everyone’s waiting.”

Mokseol urged.

After a while, Yongjin, dressed in black armor, appeared in the tent. Seeing his clean face and neatly combed hair, everyone was momentarily stunned and unable to realize who he was.

“Wow, he’s handsome.”

Another girl in the line couldn’t help but be surprised to see Yongjin coming in.

Yongjin’s clear eyes shone like stars, and a unique energy flowed from his entire body. In particular, there was an intense atmosphere that drove girls crazy.

The most important thing is that Yongjin looks so different from the big, thick-bodied men here.

As soon as Yongjin entered and got everyone’s attention, the girl who had dressed him up crossed her arms and looked smug. However, Yongjin was only uncomfortable with this situation.

“Please sit down.”

Mokseol’s eyes sparkled for a moment, then he quickly came to his senses and pointed to the seat next to him with his hand.

“Excuse me, I see there’s a lot of alcohol here. If I want to drink comfortably, I think it would be better to sit with the men.”

Yongjin said with a smile.

The two girls were disappointed by Yongjin’s words, but Mokseol’s eyes briefly showed admiration. Yongjin was really quick-witted.

“Haha, Yong-hyung, come here quickly. I’ll give you a seat so you can drink until your nose is crooked.”

Yongjin’s actions immediately won people’s favor.

It wasn’t because I was afraid of men, but because I didn’t need to do something pointless to bother them. Besides, I didn’t have any feelings for the three women, so I didn’t have any intention of flirting with them.

“Haha, thanks.”

Yongjin thanked the man and sat down.

There were about twenty people sitting around a large round table. The table was filled with alcohol and meat.

My stomach was growling. To be honest, I hadn’t eaten anything for the past few days, so the sight of the table full of food made my mouth water.

“I have some good news today. Brother Yongjin here will be joining our Mokseol mercenary group for a while to catch lurking spiders together.”

The shepherd spoke in a loud voice.

“Haha, welcome! Brother Yongjin, don’t be afraid! As long as you stick close to me when dealing with the lurking spider, you won’t get hurt.”

Changmu tapped Yongjin on the shoulder and spoke loudly.

Yongjin looked at Changmu. He was only capable of the middle level of Tongmaekyeong. Who would protect whom?

“This is a safe area, so there’s no need to stay up all night guarding it. Eat, drink, and rest to your heart’s content.

We’ve been busy for two weeks, so we’re all probably tired. Let’s just relax and rest today. Then, let’s come back tomorrow and deal with the burrowing spiders in top condition. Cheers, everyone!”

Mokseol lifted the wine bowl.

As expected of a leader, Mokseol showed off her martial arts skills.

Everyone cheered loudly, emptied their bowls, and began to take big bites of meat. Yongjin was also hungry, so he held the chicken and beef in both hands and ate like crazy.

“Yongjin, come here, take my drink.”

“Have a drink with me too.”

Yongjin drank all the alcohol that anyone offered him in one gulp. As he emptied dozens of bowls in a hearty manner, more people gathered around him.

The alcohol they drank was not ordinary alcohol, but a strong alcohol brewed for practitioners, and one would quickly become intoxicated after drinking a few bowls.

The guys kept coming to Yongjin as if they were conspiring to buy him drinks, and Yongjin laughed and refused to refuse, taking one glass at a time. Eventually, one by one, they collapsed, and except for Mokseol and the two girls, everyone lay down and couldn’t get up. Some people even started snoring.

The guys weren’t strong with alcohol, but they all used the alcohol to relax.

I had been busy running around every day, and tomorrow I had to fight a fierce battle with the Seoncheonkyung Demon. It would be a lie to say I wasn’t nervous about a fight that could cost me my life.

After filling his stomach with alcohol and food, Yongjin sat on the floor and injected qi and blood into his pulse to expand it.

Mokseol sat with the two girls and prepared for battle. Although this was a safe zone, there were no absolutes in the world. Everything had to be kept in mind and caution had to be taken.

After expanding the pulse, Yongjin began to run the two castles to promote the chaos space. Because there were too many big trees, growth was slow. However, if you work hard, you will definitely get a harvest, so you should not waste time.

As the sun rose and the morning sunlight shone upon the ground, the strong men of the mercenary group began to rise one by one.

Thanks to the alcohol I drank yesterday, I felt much more relaxed and my physical condition was excellent thanks to the good sleep I got.

After setting up the tent, everyone set off westward under Mokseol’s guidance. After walking for more than two hours, they reached a place where the mountains stretched out endlessly.

From there, Mokseol, who had been advancing for another few dozen li, suddenly raised his hand and stopped the mercenary group. Everyone stopped walking and held their breath. A small mountain-like object appeared in front of them, and they felt an energy so strong it made them shiver.

When we saw the small mountain-like body, everyone’s heart started beating fast and we couldn’t move.

The spider was huge, a hundred feet long and fifty feet high. Its eight long legs were covered with sharp, shiny hairs that looked like steel.

The ship was covered in strange patterns, giving it a scary aura.

The head was buried in the dirt and could not be seen, but the energy emanating from the body was eerie.

“Yongjin, what do you think?”

Mokseol said in a tense voice. In this situation, he couldn’t help but be tense because he could easily die if he made a wrong move.

“I’ve got some bad news. It looks like he’s been promoted. It looks like he just got promoted and is hunkering down to solidify his position.”

When Yongjin spoke with a regretful expression, the faces of the people turned pale. The early stages of the Seoncheonkyung were difficult, and now the mid-stage of the Seoncheonkyung, there was no chance of winning and it would only lead to death.

“How could this happen….”

We barely made it this far, but the burrowing spider had already entered the mid-stage of the prehistoric era. People were starting to get a little angry at the indifferent sky.

“Should I really give up like this?”

People spoke with a trembling expression.

Mokseol took a deep breath and asked Yongjin.

“What if we go out at full strength?”

Yongjin looked at Mokseol and spoke in a low voice.

“If you insist on doing that, there’s only a half chance you’ll be able to kill a burrowing spider.”

People couldn’t help but be delighted by Yongjin’s words. However, the good mood suddenly fell to the floor with the words that followed.

“If we kill the burrowing spider, more than half of us will die.

If there’s a 50% chance of a chance, that means there’s a 50% chance that the burrowing spider will kill everyone. Just think about what you’re going to do.”

Yongjin said.

They were all faced with a difficult choice. Attacking a sixth-grade demonic beast was too risky for them.

The plan had already gone awry due to an unexpected situation. The burrowing spider that had entered the mid-stage of the prehistoric era was simply unmanageable.

“Commander, let’s do it.”

One of the mercenaries spoke in a low voice.

They usually called the shepherd a priest, but when the mercenary group was on a mission, they called him a regimental commander.

“Yes, Colonel. Let’s give it a try! I’m not afraid of death. Shouldn’t I repay the favor?”

Another person added his voice.
