Episode 107: The effectiveness of the fog surrounding the bone tomb

Early morning. Cheon Do-un woke up to the sound of rustling.

-Huh… .

Dodak, who had been kept in his waist bag, was already in Cheon Do-un’s sleeping bag.

He took off Dodak, who was sleeping on his stomach, and stood up.

When I sleep, I put it in my bag and put it to sleep. Why is Dodak always on my stomach when I wake up?

Cheon Do-un chuckled and put Dodaki in his bag. She tied it around her waist and after putting on her clothes she went out into the yard.

“There’s quite a bit of snow.”

When I went out into the yard, the snow was so deep that I was soaked up to my ankles.

Nari Kim was sleeping in a sleeping bag in that yard. Perhaps because the temperature of the aircraft was raised, snow did not accumulate around it.

‘It’s literally a human stove.’

Around Nari Kim, Gu and Chimera were huddled together and sleeping. As it snowed all night, they gathered together in search of heat.

‘I guess I should let him sleep some more.’

Let’s go to the bone tomb alone. It’s early in the morning, the sun hasn’t risen yet, so that would be good.

The moment she thought that, Nari Kim’s eyes brightened.

Nari Kim only moved her eyes and looked at Cheon Do-un. Her eyes fluttered as if she sensed something.

“me… I know. “The expression on his face is that he wants to go to a fun place alone.”

“It’s not a particularly fun place.”

“no. It’s a fun place for uncles to go to. I want to go too. “I hope you can wait for me.”

Nari Kim jumped up from her sleeping bag. Thanks to this, Guu, who was sleeping on her stomach, rolled over.

Nari Kim put Guu in a sleeping bag. Other chimeras sleeping nearby were also placed in sleeping bags one by one.

Nari Kim carried her sleeping bag into the house and ran into the next room.

“what are you doing?”

“Getting ready to go out. “It’s snowing, so I’m going to wear a coat.”

After scanning the clothes, Nari Kim took out a mint-colored coat and put it on.

Is there a need to wear a coat when you can sleep in a snowy yard without any problems?

That thought occurred to me for a moment, but Cheon Do-un said nothing. He liked it so much, there was no reason to stop him.

“It’s done!”

Nari Kim came out wearing a scarf, hat, and fur boots.

“This is your coat. “If you wear it, you’ll feel warm too.”

Kim Nari also brought a coat for Cheon Do-woon to wear.

Cheon Do-woon was also unaffected by the weather, but wore a coat to match Kim Na-ri’s playing house.

As he prepared to leave, Blue, who had been sleeping in the yard, waddled over.

Na-ri Kim got on Blue’s back first. Cheon Do-un stopped while trying to climb on Blue’s back.

The gaze turned to the tail.

‘Now that I think about it, I need to fix this guy’s tail too.’

Cheon Do-un looked at Blue’s tail. Blue’s tail had still not grown its feathers, leaving bare skin exposed in some places.

Cheon Do-un touched that part. Blue visibly tensed at his touch.

As it was frequently bitten by its own compatriots, it did not like it when anyone touched that area.

-Beep, beep… .

I wanted to avoid it, but my opponent was Cheon Do-un. He is the leader of his group.

Unlike his compatriots who bullied him, Cheondoun does not peck his own tail. Blue believed that and persevered even when Cheon Do-un touched his tail.

“You’ve managed to fly with a tail like this. Just hold on a little longer. “Once Director Kim’s hair loss medicine is completed, your tail feathers will be cured in no time.”

The context of growing hair or feathers is the same.

“I just need to change the formula a little bit.”

It was a statement that would make Manager Kim’s complexion pale if he heard it.

Even if you change the formula just a little bit, the entire order line becomes distorted. Of course, Cheon Do-un also knew that fact, but he didn’t care.

Manager Kim can do it.

Dark circles may extend down to your cheeks, but you’ll be nodding your head with a motivated face.

Cheon Do-un was so confident that he climbed on top of Blue.

“Then shall we go?”

Cheon Do-un traced his memory and pointed in the direction of the acid area. When I gave a signal by gently pulling his feathers, Blue spread his wings and took off.

Procuring materials to expand the house. The first step has begun.

* * *

It’s been several hours since we flew out of the forest area.

Before we knew it, we had reached a plain area with nothing around.

Finding the acid area was easy. When I rode Blue and looked down from above, I could see the cracks in the ground at a glance.

“found. “It’s over there.”

Cheon Do-un patted Blue’s neck. Blue, who had become quick-witted after flying so far, immediately lowered his altitude.

Cheon Do-un, who landed on the ground, stood in front of the crack and looked down.

The width is 5 meters. The depth was unknown. The fog was so thick from the halfway point that I couldn’t see the bottom.

Na-ri Kim’s eyes, looking under the gap, glowed red.

“Investigating fog components… Analysis complete. mister. “I can’t go down here.”

“why?”

“The hydrochloric acid in the fog is not common. “That fog makes my body rust.”

I’ve come this far and I can’t keep up. At that fact, Na-ri Kim’s face became somber.

Cheon Do-un looked at Nari Kim, unzipped his waist bag and handed it to Nari Kim.

“Then keep Dodak here. That is your mission for today.”

“This mission?”

As soon as there was something to do, Nari Kim’s eyes became bright.

“Is it okay to just protect Dodak?”

“No way. “If you come this far, you have to work.”

Cheon Do-un pulled out the thread from the tip of his finger.

The thread coming from the tips of all ten fingers was twisted like a rope. A long string slid down the cliff.

Cheon Do-un made a string tens of meters long and handed it to Kim Nari.

“I’m going to go down and tie the bone to this string. When you pull the string, pull it up. you can do it?”

“Ha, you can do it. would!”

A job was given. That fact alone made Nari Kim’s expression brighten.

Cheon Do-un quietly looked down at Kim Nari.

He is a child who always wants to show his usefulness.

One day you will realize that you have value even if you don’t have to work.

I’m sure that would happen, but unfortunately that wasn’t today.

‘It won’t change overnight.’

There was no need to rush. You just have to feel it and change, little by little, as if it were soaking in the light rain.

Until then, let’s give him small tasks to make him feel comfortable.

“Then I’ll come back.”

“i get it. “Please come back.”

Nari Kim nodded with an expression that said she would complete the mission.

Cheon Do-un looked at it and jumped down through the gap.

* * *

Cheon Do-un slowed down by touching the wall once during his fall.

I could have jumped off all at once, but if I did that, the bones on the floor would have broken when I landed.

Since the goal was to obtain good materials, I landed in the softest way possible.

When he reached the bottom, he looked around.

The bone tomb was not much different from what I remembered.

The fog was so thick that it was difficult to breathe, and big and small bones lay on the ground.

To an unfamiliar person, it was a sight that would have looked like a set from a horror movie.

‘It’s similar to when I came before.’

Cheon Do-un laughed. With so many materials available, all that was left was to choose according to taste.

He walked around nearby and started picking bones that were in good condition.

“This is okay.”

I tapped it with my finger and checked whether it was the right length.

“This is useful too.”

He chose four bones to erect as pillars. He also selected bones to make a stand and tied them to thread.

After wandering around for a while, he stopped.

There was a huge bone tunnel in front of me. It was a bone from a snake-type monster with its ribs intact.

More than 30 meters in height. The skeleton with hundreds of ribs connected together seemed like a tunnel with no end in sight.

“This… “Is this the guy from two years ago?”

A monster that fell into an acidic area while fighting with itself.

A snake, or an earthworm, or a centipede. Maybe it was a monster that was a mixture of those three things.

“Good. “It’s just right.”

Cheon Do-un looked around the bone and pulled out a thread.

The bone that connected like a tunnel was cut to the required length and removed.

“With this size, you can make a pretty big dome.”

Cheon Do-un tied the selected bones to a thread. After pulling the thread twice, Kim Nari began to pull up from above.

Now your job is done. She just needs to go up and go back with Nari Kim.

Before climbing the cliff, Cheon Do-un looked around the acidic area. He checked one last time to see if he needed anything else, and a question suddenly occurred to him.

‘I remember falling here before… ‘How did you get back then?’

He remembered that the hunters abandoned him and ran away. I also remembered falling here while fighting a monster.

But I couldn’t remember how it went back.

‘I didn’t have a heartstone at that time.’

Moreover, he had lost his sense of humor as a side effect of the experiment. At that time, Cheon Do-un did not take personal action unless specifically instructed.

Considering that, it was normal to not leave the bone grave for a year or 10 years.

How did he return back then? While I was searching through my memories, a young man’s voice passed through my mind.

[Hey, are you there? Answer me if you’re alive!]

That was the voice of one of the hunters who ran away, leaving Cheondoun behind.

[Hey, it’s an acid area down there. If it had fallen, it would have melted and died.]

[But you never know. Looking at the ground that collapsed, it looks like it fell while fighting a monster… Because chimeras are different from humans. He might be alive.]

Two voices are heard from above.

[I can’t see it from here because of the fog! If you’re there, give me a signal!]

[Damn, if I scream, monsters will flock to me. If you’re alive, come up!]

The words “come up” activated the order fulfillment spell engraved on Cheon Doun’s body.

As he looked up, he kicked off the cliff and instantly soared into the sky.

[Ahh!]

[Gee, he’s really alive!]

As Cheon Do-un came up through the fog, the two young hunters fell and fell on their butts.

At that time, Cheon Do-un’s whole body had turned into a monster due to side effects.

The hunters were frightened and retreated when Cheon Do-un suddenly appeared.

Cheon Do-un glanced at them.

When everyone opened the gate and ran away, Cheon Do-un was the only one who was worried about what would happen.

[Jeez, you’re really fine even after falling into the acid zone?]

[That’s not important now. Since we found it, let’s go back quickly. If we shout, monsters might come.]

The hunters broke the hearthstone and opened the gate.

[You’re using a hearthstone to save the chimera. You too are crazy. If this guy was dead, the cost of the Hearthstone round trip would have been burned in the air. know?]

[It’s okay because I’m alive. Whether it’s a chimera or something else, it’s a living creature. How can you just throw it away?]

The young hunter took out a potion from his bag and sprinkled it on Cheon Do-un’s body.

[There are a lot of scars. Is it because you fought that monster earlier?]

[Besides that, the wound looks old.]

I wasn’t injured while fighting the monster. It was because my body was collapsing as a side effect of the experiment.

Hunters sprinkled potions all over Cheon Do-un’s body.

At best, it is a low-level potion. However, it was an expensive item for young men who had just become hunters.

I generously wrote those things to Cheon Do-un.

[I even gave you a potion. You have become a very saint.]

[This guy gave us time to escape to the gate. Because I survived thanks to you. Compared to that, he is cheap.]

[Yes, but… When I looked at the documents when I rented it, I saw that this chimera was almost on the verge of being discarded. If the captain finds out that you used two hearthstones to save something like this, he will try to kill you.]

[What do you know? All you have to do is compensate for the hearthstone. Money is not more important than people.]

[I’m not a chimera… Anyway. I heard you became a saint.]

The other one grunted, but didn’t stop him from spraying the potion.

If I really didn’t like it in the first place, I wouldn’t have come along to pick up Cheon Do-un.

Since he lived thanks to Cheon Do-un buying him time, he also thought that it was not a waste of money whether it was a potion or a hearthstone.

[Okay, let’s go now. This chimera rental number is… Was it number 17? Number 17: You too, come quickly.]

Hunters entered the gate. Following the instructions to come quickly, Cheondoun also entered the gate.

‘okay. I remembered. That’s how I returned.’

Cheon Do-un laughed. I remembered the reason why I was able to return even after falling into this grave of bones. At the same time, I became curious.

“That’s strange. “Why do memories come back to me so easily?”

Is it because it is a relatively recent incident? No, it’s not.

After my head was damaged, all my memories were blurry, regardless of the time period.

But it was different now. Although I only had some memories related to the bone tomb, the conversations that took place at the time came to mind clearly.

The facial expressions of the hunters were also vividly depicted.

Why suddenly? Is there anything different from usual? Cheon Do-un paused while looking around the bone tomb.

“Fog… ?”

A fog containing hydrochloric acid.

This is no ordinary fog. The only things that melt are living creatures. Clothes and bones do not melt.

‘Then you said there are ingredients that cause the liquid metal, Kimnari, to rust.’

It is not simply a fog containing only hydrochloric acid. Is there some ingredient in this fog that stimulates memories?

“This is an unexpected harvest.”

Maybe I would be able to clearly recall all of the decades worth of blurry memories.

“Investigating Director Kim… No. “Can’t Director Kim come down here?”

Then I need to think of a way to take the fog from here. First, let’s start by moving the materials to build the house.

As soon as the order of things to be done was decided, the corners of my mouth rose.

‘Oh yeah. The two people who came to pick me up. ‘I need to find those guys and pay them the right interest.’

Two hearthstones used to pick you up. A potion sprinkled on the wound.

Let’s pay them back with plenty of interest. Cheon Do-un smiled and climbed the cliff.
