Episode 186. Being Targeted (2)

After splitting into two groups, Cheon Myeong-myeong was still searching the mountains.

“…….”

Cheon Myeong-myeong silently walked ahead. Cheon Yu-su followed behind him.

Compared to Cheon Myeong-myeong, who seemed relaxed, Cheon Yu-su seemed to be struggling considerably, and as time passed, the gap between the two was widening further.

Swish-.

At that moment, Cheon Myeong-myeong stopped walking and glanced behind him.

Cheon Yu-su is approaching from afar, staggering as if he might collapse at any moment.

Although he followed behind without making a sound, it was obvious at a glance that Cheon Yu-su was having a hard time.

“Are you tired?”

Cheon Myeong-myeong asked that absentmindedly.

It’s already been an hour since I split up with the other two and started searching.

If you include the time I had been moving before that, it would have been almost half a day of continuous movement, so it was only natural that I would get tired like that.

“No… It’s okay.”

“It doesn’t look like that.”

“It’s really okay. I don’t mind.”

It seemed like he cared about what Cheonmuin had said.

If he were the usual Cheon Yu-su, he would have already started complaining and asked to rest for a bit.

As if trying to make up for his past mistakes, Cheon Yu-su tried hard not to be a burden.

“I’ll just rest for a bit.”

“I told you it’s okay.”

“I’m a little tired, too. You never know when a surprise attack might come, so it would be good to always recover your stamina.”

“…okay?”

When Cheon Myeong-myeong said that, Cheon Yu-su glanced around briefly and then immediately sat down on the floor.

“Whew- I think I’ll barely survive.”

“…….”

“Let’s take a break and drink some water. Myung-myeong. Do you want some too?”

“No, I’m fine.”

“Really? Then I’ll just drink it.”

When Cheon Myeong-myeong said it was okay, Cheon Yu-su brought the water bottle to his lips as if he had been waiting for it.

“…there is no water.”

“…….”

“You already drank it all…. Tell me that’s a lie!”

That water was prepared in the morning.

After wandering around the mountains for several hours and drinking, it was actually strange that there was still water left.

“When you took out the water bottle, didn’t you realize that there was no water in it?”

“I thought there would be some left.”

“…….”

“I suddenly feel thirstier…….”

In the end, Cheon Yu-su threw the empty water bottle far away.

“But Myeong-yeong, are there really bandits in a place like this?”

“I guess I’ll have to look into that further.”

“No, isn’t there a saying that you can’t even find a nose after looking all this way?”

No matter how wide the mountain is, I haven’t seen a single person for hours.

If bandits were stationed there, there would be traces of people all over the mountain, but this place looked like a mountain where no one lived at all.

“The mission said that this area was a stronghold for bandits.”

“Really? Then I guess I’ll find it if I search a little more.”

“Brother, now that I think about it, there’s something I forgot.”

“Could it be that you have some hidden water?”

“no.”

Cheon Yu-su’s expression brightened for a moment, but when Cheon Myeong-myeong answered right away, his face became gloomy again.

Cheon Yu-su opened his mouth in a voice that was even more listless than before.

“Did you forget something?”

“Yes, don’t you remember?”

“Well. Maybe it’s because I walked too much… I don’t know.”

“It’s a red flag.”

Cheon Myeong-myeong had promised to give Cheon Yu-su a red envelope.

Of course, the promise was postponed for a while because of an accident along the way, but now that he has Cheon Seo-jin’s red envelope in his hand, it seems like he is finally trying to keep that promise.

“Oh, that was it?”

“…….”

“It’s okay. Give it to me slowly later.”

“Is that okay?”

“Yeah. Right now, I need to focus on the mission.”

As I said, now was the time to focus on the mission rather than the enemy.

It seemed like Cheon Myeong-myeong was going to bring up the topic of the enemy’s death during a short break, but when Cheon Yu-su spoke, he quickly nodded.

“Okay, then I’ll give you 30 red flags later.”

“okay.”

“…….”

That was when.

Cheon Yu-su jumps up from his seat as if he had been struck by lightning.

He looked around as if he was concentrating on something, then looked at Cheon Myeong-myeong with a brighter expression.

“Did you hear the name?”

“What are you talking about?”

“I hear a sound. It’s definitely the sound of water!”

Cheon Myeong-myeong also listened intently to those words.

The sound of water is faint but can be heard in your ears.

As Cheon Yu-su said, there seemed to be a stream nearby.

“let’s go!”

“Where?”

“Where is it? It’s a place where I can hear the sound of water!”

“Have we forgotten what we’re looking for?”

“Usually people gather where there is water. Bandits also need to drink water, so wouldn’t it be more likely that they would make their base near a stream?”

It sounded pretty plausible, but it seemed like Cheon Yu-su was just looking for a drink of water rather than looking for bandits.

Still, it makes perfect sense that people would gather where there is water.

Since Cheonmyeongmyeongdo lived near water in Magul, it was quite possible that bandits also had their base near the stream.

“Okay. Let’s go over there.”

As soon as Cheon Myeong-myeong’s answer fell, Cheon Yu-su ran out.

Movements so quick that you’d think he was just tired.

Does it create stamina without the obsession with water? Cheon Myeong-myeong watched the scene for a moment and then quickly followed Cheon Yu-su.

“……!”

After a while, the thick grass disappeared and an open space appeared.

And a wide stream can be seen ahead.

There were some parts that were slightly frozen, but most places still had water flowing enough to drink.

“It’s water!”

As soon as he discovered the stream, Cheon Yu-su ran toward it like a puppy.

I clearly said that I was looking for the bandits’ base, but with water right in front of me, is it finally revealing its true nature?

Since he already knew that Cheon Yu-su’s purpose was water from the beginning, Cheon Myeong-myeong walked to the water’s edge, leaving Cheon Yu-su, who was already sticking his nose into the stream, alone.

Thud- thud-.

Cheon Myeong-myeong also ran out of water in his water bottle.

It might not be a bad idea to take advantage of this opportunity to get your neck wet.

Cheon Myeong-myeong stood at the water’s edge as if he was about to drink water, and quietly looked down at the flowing water.

“…….”

The water was fairly clear.

Not only was the interior clearly visible, but the faces of Cheon Myeong-myeong were clearly reflected on the surface of the water, as if in a mirror.

Swish-.

After bending his knees and sitting down slightly, Cheon Myeong-myeong slowly extended his hand toward the stream.

The water surface shakes slightly as both hands reach for the water.

Because of that, Cheon Myeong-myeong’s face, which had been clearly visible, became blurred for a moment, and when he scooped up water with his hand, his face began to appear properly again.

But the appearance of sleep is completely different from before.

It was clear that only Cheon Myeong-myeong was visible there just a moment ago, but now a masked man was also visible there.

Whoosh-.

The masked man was holding a sword.

And then a swift sword strike towards Cheon Myeong Myeong.

The scenery above the water became chaotic again as the sound of rushing water and the rough spray rose.

“……!”

The man clearly swung his sword with the intention of killing Cheon Myeong-myeong.

However, the swordsmanship only cut through the water, and Cheon Myeong-myeong’s figure was no longer visible before his eyes.

Swish-.

Another shape reflected on the water at that time.

Although the waves were still strong and he couldn’t see clearly, the man could tell that there was someone next to him.

“Did Yeongso-gak send it?”

Before he knew it, Cheon Myeong-myeong was pointing his sword at the man from the side.

A blade pointed at the neck as if it could kill at any moment.

If you don’t answer, I will kill you. Cheon Myeong-myeong’s question also contained such a warning.

Pot-.

Normally, if you had a sword pointed at someone’s neck like this, they would flinch at least a little.

However, the man stepped forward as if he had trained for this kind of situation in advance, and instead of avoiding it, he even pushed his body towards Cheon Myeong-myeong.

Chook-.

The movement caused the blade to dig into the man’s neck.

However, the carotid artery was not punctured exactly.

Of course, it was by no means a shallow wound, but it still looked like he had deliberately avoided instant death by cleverly twisting his neck.

Whoosh-.

It was a surprise attack that literally brought death.

Blood dripping from his neck, the man immediately stabbed with his sword, but the strike was so close that it only grazed Cheon Myeong-myeong’s clothes.

The fact that he’s rushing like this means that he has no intention of answering in the first place.

It seemed that he had also received training not to fear death, so Cheon Myeong-myeong immediately moved his sword.

Chook-.

This time, he accurately sever the carotid artery.

A noticeable amount of blood was gushing from the man’s neck, and he walked forward a few steps before collapsing to the ground.

“It’s dangerous!”

At that moment, Cheon Yu-su’s urgent voice was heard.

At that moment, three streams of water gushed out from the stream.

As if they had been approaching from under the surface, three black-clad men wearing the same clothes as the man Cheon Myeong-myeong had just defeated emerged from the water.

Whoosh-.

As soon as they appeared, the three of them simultaneously threw something at Cheon Myeong-myeong.

A large number of dark machines flying towards Cheonmyeongmyeong at a speed that cannot be seen with the naked eye.

Even in that short moment, the three people’s hidden weapons were all aimed at Cheonmyeongmyeong’s vital points.

“……?”

At that moment, a strong wind blew.

The source of the storm was Cheonmyeongmyeong. A strong gust of wind blew out from that place, repelling all the dark energy flying towards Cheonmyeongmyeong.

Because of this, the dark dragons changed direction and attacked the black-clad men, and in return, the black-clad men crouched to protect their vital points against the dark dragons flying towards them.

Poop poop poop-.

Dark weapons embedded all over the bodies of the men in black.

Although he did protect his vitals, the fact that he was stabbed by a secret weapon was more important.

Because all the weapons they just fired were laced with poison.

Normally, one would try to find an antidote to avoid death, but these three were more concerned about killing Cheon Myeong-myeong before the poison spread, rather than saving their own lives.

Phew-.

However, due to the strong gust of wind, the three new figures were pushed away from Cheon Myeong-myeong.

Three people circled the air and landed in the water.

Fortunately, the water wasn’t that deep, so all three were only up to their waists.

“……?”

The three immediately tried to attack Cheon Myeong-myeong again.

But this time, the invisible figure of Cheon Myeong-myeong.

It seemed as if Cheon Myeong-myeong had been there until he had circled the air, but as soon as he settled into the water, he disappeared from sight.

Chook-.

At that time, two of the three heads were cut off.

The man in black in the middle had sensed the danger in advance and narrowly avoided the surprise attack, but his eyes widened in surprise when he discovered a flashing light moving over the water.

‘Walking on water?’

Even though the water was shallow, the bridge was completely submerged in water.

But Cheon Myeong-Myeong was now moving freely over the water as if he were on land.

Besides, what on earth is that speed?

As the light reflected dizzily on the surface of the water, the man in black could not even properly see the figure of Cheon Myeong-myeong, who was now moving at an incredible speed.

“……!”

Even the man in black could stand on water.

Even if you can only produce black energy, that level can be achieved somehow through training.

However, it is impossible to move quickly on the water like Cheon Myeong-myeong does now. It would be impossible to even stand on the water surface that is shaking like this.

with a splash-.

Cheon Myeong-Myeong was quickly approaching the man in black again.

Seeing that sight, the man in black pulled out his sword in an attempt to respond somehow, but he was struggling in the water and was unable to respond to that movement.

Because there was already a huge difference in height, the black-clad man’s neck was easily cut off, spurting blood like the other two.

“…….”

After cutting off his neck, Cheon Myeong-myeong stopped on the surface of the water.

At that moment, numerous signs appeared from all directions.

They were all wearing dark black clothing, as if they were advertising that they had come to kill Cheon Myeong-myeong.
