Habuk Pengga Swordsman Genius - Chapter 638



Only Noblemtl

638. A close call (3)

For this plan, I absolutely had to trust Cheonghwa’s intuition.

Cheonghwa straightened her shoulders at Hanbin’s trusting gaze.

It was the complete opposite of the dead grass that had appeared just a moment ago.

Cheonghwa, who was walking a few steps, looked back and made a meaningful voice.

“Master, no matter how much I think about it, something seems strange.”

“What’s strange?”

“You said that Grandpa Moonju was full of poison. But I don’t feel any poison anywhere. There’s no reason to be nervous at all. But if you look at the floor, it’s clearly not normal.”

After finishing speaking, Cheonghwa pointed to the floor.

Everyone tilted their heads at Cheonghwa’s actions.

That would be the case, because on the floor that Cheonghwa was pointing to, there were traces that looked like they had been burned.

It was clearly a trace of melting caused by an unimaginable poison.

It wasn’t just the entrance.

A bizarre sight unfolded ahead.

Cheonghwa’s expression hardened even more.

It was strange because this situation did not feel toxic.

This was the first time I came to Baekdokmun and didn’t feel any poison.

No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t understand it.

Wasn’t that a place sealed to block out the poison?

In fact, it would have been normal to feel an unimaginable venom here.

In this situation, there was no reason to seal this place.

Except for Hanbin, everyone else just tilted their heads as if they didn’t know what exactly the two were talking about.

Hanbin’s excitement was heightened by Cheonghwa’s words.

According to Baek Ju-cheon, there are numerous organs in this passage.

But when an explosion occurred inside, all of the machinery was destroyed.

But the fact that a strange phenomenon was occurring meant that this was no ordinary space.

Hanbin’s expression became even more serious.

Seolhwa, who was standing next to him, asked with a serious expression.

“Your Majesty, what is the matter?”

“No matter how much I look at it, I can’t see anything that could be a threat. I think I should be careful from now on.”

“Wouldn’t it be better if there were no risk factors?”

“It’s a place that even Baekmunju couldn’t enter because he was afraid. It won’t be easy.”

“You mean the calm before the storm?”

“Yeah, I guess that’s a good idea.”

After finishing speaking, Hanbin closed his eyes and focused on his sense of smell.

Hanbin wanted to use all five senses to check for traps.

Hanbin, who sniffled slightly, shook his head.

There was no suspicious smell anywhere.

Hanbin was the one with the best sense of smell in Gangho.

It was safe to say that there was no danger that could not be detected by Hanbin’s sense of smell.

And yet you didn’t find any risk factors?

In addition, the ability of Cheonghwa, which I trusted the most, might have become useless.

Everyone who saw Hanbin’s expression kept their mouths tightly shut.

Among them, the one with the most serious expression was Cheonghwa.

“Confucius, are my abilities useless?”

“No. If you sense anything odd, tell me. If you decide that it’s dangerous, I’ll get out of here without delay.”

This was the truth.

In fact, when a crisis arose within Baekdok Vigo, the one who would become a shield was Cheonghwa.

Cheonghwa’s heart pounded as she saw Hanbin’s expression.

“Just trust me, Your Majesty.”

Seolhwa, who was next to him, touched the bundle on his shoulder.

The bundle contained a poison potion and a poison medicine to ward off the poison.

“Okay, I’ll just trust you.”

“Then can we set off?”

Cheonghwa looked at him with bright eyes.

He looked quite cautious as he checked again.

Cheonghwado’s personality has now become similar to Hanbin’s.

Whenever a problem arises, I develop the habit of always doubting and doubting again.

Hanbin smiled and gestured.

It was a signal that it was okay to move forward.

Cheonghwa straightened her shoulders and slowly walked forward.

Hanbin followed Cheonghwa and raised his spirits to the maximum.

How far did it go?

Hanbin looked around and raised his hand.

Seol-hwa, who saw Han-bin’s clenched fist, sent a signal to Cheong-hwa.

Hanbin’s signal now was to stop.

Hanbin took out the map Baek Jucheon had given him and checked the approximate location.

The passage to the laboratory was not very long.

Comparing our current location to the map, it seemed like we had almost arrived at the laboratory that Baek Ju-cheon had mentioned.

Hanbin glanced back.

Then he tilted his head.

I felt a slight movement from the middle of the passage.

But there was no one around.

It was as if someone was secretly watching me.

Hanbin focused on one spot.

This time too, the sound disappeared without a trace.

That was when.

Hanbin opened his eyes wide.

It was because the wall was shaking slightly.

Of course, there were no other changes.

I felt a presence, but there was only a slight trace and no one was there.

Then Seolhwa asked again.

“Confucius, why are you like this?”

“I feel like I’m being followed, so I do that.”

“Is there anyone who can deceive the eyes of Confucius?”

“hmm.”

Hanbin caressed his chin.

Seolhwa’s words were right. There was no one in the Central Plains who could deceive Hanbin’s five senses.

At this point, I started to think that he wasn’t human.

Hanbin sent the signal again.

At that signal, Seolhwa and Cheonghwa lit the torches.

It might seem odd to be walking around in a hallway as bright as day, carrying a torch, but it was all a precaution.

Hanbin has encountered these traps countless times.

If a dark passage is brightly lit, most people will feel safe and pass through it.

But what if the lights go out when you get deep into the passage?

What if the enemy launches a surprise attack at that time?

When stepping into unknown territory, it’s best to assume that everything is a trap set by the enemy.

Hanbin walked quietly.

Of course, I was not letting down my guard.

This is because even now, unidentified signs keep appearing and disappearing.

The sounds did not appear in a set direction, but rather appeared irregularly on the ceiling, floor, and walls.

How much did it cost?

A large space appeared before Hanbin’s eyes.

The sight here was even more horrifying.

Yellow liquid was flowing down here and there on the walls.

Hanbin took a deep breath and narrowed his eyes.

“Everyone, use the poisonous liquor.”

At Hanbin’s words, Seolhwa and Sogun put the poisonous liquor in their mouths.

Then he quickly covered his face with poisonous tissue.

Except for the blue flowers, only the eyes are exposed.

Seolhwa asked, blinking her eyes.

“You said there was no poison?”

“It’s not poisonous, but that liquid looks quite dangerous.”

“Is that liquid?”

Seolhwa pointed to the yellow liquid flowing down the wall.

Hanbin continued speaking at that sight.

“I think I could melt iron with that much strength.”

“You can even melt iron?”

“maybe…….”

What Hanbin took on was a sour scent.

Given the smell that seemed to pierce the nasal mucosa, it was no ordinary liquid.

Hanbin continued speaking.

“First of all, don’t go near the wall. The same goes for Cheonghwa.”

“me too?”

“Isn’t it true that it is a public institution, but not invulnerable to swords?”

“That’s true, but… … .”

“Always keep in mind the proverb that says, ‘He who survives is strong!’”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“yes!”

Seolhwa smiled brightly, feeling good.

It was a little stiff, but it was because I felt Hanbin’s sincerity.

Hanbin looked around and shouted softly.

“Okay, now let’s look for anything that looks suspicious!”

It was a strange situation, but I must not forget the purpose of my coming here.

Finding out what you were looking for in the background was the first thing, and getting your hands on it was the second.

Hanbin smiled meaningfully after finishing speaking.

Seolhwa’s eyes widened at the sight.

This is because after Hanbin laughed like this, an unimaginable danger always followed.

Seolhwa asked cautiously.

“You told me earlier that it was dangerous and to be careful. Your Majesty, why are you laughing like that?”

“Isn’t there a saying in martial arts that the greater the risk, the greater the reward? It seems like an unimaginable treasure awaits me.”

“ah.”

Seolhwa was speechless.

Those weren’t the words of someone who had been so scared.

That too for a moment, at Hanbin’s gesture, Seolhwa began to prepare to search.

It was as they were preparing to search the space.

Suddenly there was a loud noise.

Kuaang!

Everyone turned their heads at the sound that sounded like a blast from a wall bomb.

***

At the same time, the entrance to Baekdok Bigo.

The area around the entrance was filled with silence.

What broke the silence were five white shadows.

It was Choa and her group who were watching with bated breath at the entrance.

The rest of the Baekgyeong warriors, including Choa, took off their masks and looked at the entrance with meaningful expressions.

Among them, the expression on the face of Choa, the leader, was more serious than ever.

She looked around and frowned.

Then he pressed his temples with a frown as if his head hurt.

This was due to the clash of two prohibitions.

Choa decided that if she didn’t solve this problem quickly, her head might explode.

Her subordinates also had unpleasant expressions on their faces when they saw Choa like that.

If the first step is wrong, it will be like a kite with a broken string.

When everyone was united and had solemn expressions on their faces, Choa gestured.

“Let’s go in.”

“Your name.”

The rest of the warriors followed her after they had been given the prize.

The entrance was brightly lit, and the footprints of Hanbin and his party who had entered first were clearly visible.

For Cho-ah, tracking down Han-bin and his group wasn’t that difficult.

It was when Choa and her group had walked about five steps away from the door.

Suddenly, a drop of water fell from above.

Choa instinctively avoided the water droplets falling on her head.

stroke.

A drop of water fell where Choa was standing.

In an instant, soot rose from the floor.

Support position.

Cho Ha-ha pushed his men back.

That was when.

Droplets of water began to fall from above like a shower.

Thud thud.

There is no way a person can avoid rain.

They were unable to completely avoid the liquid falling from above.

Bam.

As soon as the liquid hit the sleeve, a hole appeared.

The liquid was a yellowish droplet.

Thud thud.

Yellow raindrops fell incessantly.

They fell densely from behind, as if telling me not to go back.

A scream echoed from behind her.

“evil!”

One of the men behind him was holding his shoulder and staggering.

Choa snatched the luggage away as if she was flying.

Whew.

A wind blew from above and large water drops fell.

As the water drop hit the floor, it made a pig’s pee-popping sound.

Bam!

Dozens of small yellow droplets spread around where the luggage had been.

Objects touched by the small drop burned with a strange sound.

Chijijik.

What was falling from above was clearly acid rain, a rare sight in the Gangho region.

Then, like a shower, water drops fell to the ground.

Thud thud.

The situation was, in a word, a mess.

Choa shouted at her scattered subordinates.

“First, everyone get out of the passage!”

Everyone ran towards the door as if they were flying.

Five steps.

Four steps… … .

It was just as Choa arrived near the entrance.

Suddenly a black curtain appeared.

It was Choa’s mistake. It was not a curtain, but a heavy door coming down.

A heavy door that opened in the blink of an eye separated them from the world.

thud.

As the door closed as if it had been waiting, everyone stood there in bewilderment.
