Chapter 186 – King Yan’s Disciple 2 (13)
By using presence detection and wave control, I was able to easily catch a rabbit.
After changing some of the internal energy to have negative properties, I made a suitable knife using Shadow Craft and inserted it directly into the rabbit’s neck.
He carried the dead rabbit a little further away from the people and separated the rabbit’s skin and flesh.
Although the sword made of shadow was very strong, I could feel that Cyan Raven had experienced this before.
My memories are a bit hazy about the training I received from the Raven family, but was that part of the process? Assassins and intelligence agents obviously have to spend time outside on missions.
Because we need survival skills for such times.
‘It’s best to eat food preserved with preservation magic. Is this too extreme a situation?’
With that in mind, I made a basket using Shadow Craft.
A magic circle of water was engraved inside the basket, and when I injected mana into it, the water quickly filled up.
It is possible to use it by stamping it, but in the case of water, it seems better to use it this way.
The cleaned rabbit was placed in a basket, washed, and the rabbit was boiled by heating the water using a soft dye tool.
I think it would taste better if I grilled it, but the thought of cooking it while stroking the rabbit made me hesitate.
I ripped off the leg of the rabbit, whose taste had softened as it was boiled in hot water.
Because it wasn’t seasoned, and it was boiled, it tasted bland, but it was still meat.
I ate some of the flesh, made a shovel, dug a hole, threw everything away, and covered it with dirt.
‘I guess this is also a form of training.’
It’s been about 30 minutes since I caught a rabbit and ate it, and it’s been about a full meal. Wouldn’t it be too early to go back now after saying I’m going to practice?
I have to hold on to the ban and go in.

I thought Jegal Seon-ah and I would split up and set up a watchdog, but they just drove us out together in the beginning.
At least he had a conscience, so he had a leader with him, but even the leader seemed to have a difficult time with Zhuge Seon-ah.
Is it because you have to be more careful the higher you go?
“A member of the small group went to practice and made the decision while I was away. Is it okay?”
“I don’t mind anytime.”
“Thank goodness.”
And the first shift wasn’t particularly on watch.
Since not everyone can sleep at the right time, I just do more to help with the preparation period.
However, it was difficult to talk to me and Zhuge Seon-ah, so the leader walked around diligently.
“Han Sohyeop, can I take a look at that glove?”
Zhuge Xian was holding several green Lizardman scales in his hand, wondering when they had been collected.
Do you want to compare what is different from white?
“You can’t do anything other than look at it. It’s something new to the sect.”
“How about injecting a little inner energy?”
“That’s okay.”
Zhuge Xian, who received the White Flame Fist, looked closely at the scales.
The size seems similar, but the color is different?
The white scales on the White Flame Gauntlet have also been processed, so they will be different from the original.
He put the white flame pistol in his hand and played around with it in various ways before returning it to me.
And I shook my head slightly, but it looks like I didn’t find out anything.
“It seems the same, but it’s completely different. Everything from accepting internal energy to reacting to it is different. I think I’ll have to dissect it to find out exactly…”
“Master, you killed this white guy and provided this White Flame Fist Armor as material, so you know where he is.”
“I should quickly go to Wuhan and see the elder Yeomwang.”
In fact, it was best for our safety.
I could handle the green Lizardman, but wouldn’t there be no answer for the white one?
At the very least, you will have to fight using Shadow Craft rather than martial arts using Flame God.
Sharp blades still seem to work, so I have to use my best effort to survive.
Or maybe another method would be good as well.
“That’s right. I think we’ll have to sort things out in Wuhan first. What do you plan to do with the refugees of Zhuge Sozhe?”
I want to help the refugees until the end, but the movement speed has definitely slowed down.
If it weren’t for them, I would have pushed a bit harder to get to the village today, but unfortunately I had to camp today.
“Wouldn’t it be better to take him to a nearby village and provide support, so he can adapt? In fact, this kind of work should be done at the coffin, but I don’t know if the soldiers at the coffin can kill the youkai.”
Since this was more of a Joongwon affair than a Moorim affair, it was thought that Gwan’s help was definitely needed.
However, since the government treated such strange matters as Moorim’s business, there was a high probability that the work would be passed on to us.
“It will be okay because there won’t be any masters in the palace at all. If necessary, we will have to borrow the help of the martial arts team to save people.”
“I guess they’re secretly proud people and won’t try to break the non-aggression policy on government affairs, right? And it’s a bit like that for us to claim non-aggression against government affairs while trying to get help when we need it.”
Is it because he is from the five generations? My family is a merchant, so I remember that my father received a little help from the government when he first started traveling.
Since he was a man with many descendants, I thought he could also join a political faction.
“But aren’t there a lot of people in the Zhuge family who are quite capable of managing?”
“The people at Sega tend to think quickly, so if they don’t think it’s going to work, there are many people who give up early and withdraw from martial arts. That’s why it seems like there are so many.”
“If you find your aptitude and go for it, that’s a good thing.”
“Maybe it’s because you come from a merchant family, so you’re free-thinking in that respect? Your family still doesn’t tend to view it favorably. Is that why?”
Zhuge Xian added a small word, but I think it was because I showed that I do not belong to either the political faction or the political faction.
It’s not a big problem, and political factions will fight each other anyway, and factions will fight among themselves, so I don’t know why they’re splitting sides.
I don’t know if it’s a bat that comes and goes, but I hope they don’t say that I haven’t decided where to go when I’m going.
I’m not sure if he came out to be on alert or to chat with Zhuge Xian, but either way, the time went by well.
By the end of the hour, most of the refugees and Zhuge family’s group had fallen asleep, and we kept quiet so as not to wake them up.
“Miss, Han Sohyeop. I will change shifts soon. Let’s go in and rest.”
“This is easy. The leader had a harder time.”
“No. And if a monster appears, we ask for your cooperation.”
“Yes. Instead, please touch my body when I’m sleeping. Because I tend to sleep soundly.”
After seeing the team leader go to wake up the staff for his shift, we each found a place to go to sleep.
Zhuge Xian continues to sleep in the carriage, but I have to sleep on the ground.
Should I have prepared the ground in advance? When I was trying to find a suitable place, Zhuge Xian’er said to me.
“Han Sohyeop, would you like to sleep in the carriage? It’ll be more comfortable than the floor.”
“I don’t like it. Are you trying to get me involved in some kind of scandal?”
“I really don’t know.”
Zhuge Xian entered the carriage with a slight smile.
I used the presence detection boost to check the surroundings widely.
I was able to sleep comfortably because I confirmed that there were no lizardmen with low body temperature nearby.

“A small group of people!”
“Huh… ? Yes?”
I opened my eyes to the feeling of being strongly shaken. It was still dark around here, so why did you wake me up? As soon as I came to my senses, I used presence detection and expanded its radius.
Meanwhile, I woke up a little and checked who had woken me up. Is this Yujun of Hwanggeommun?
“It looks like they are a small group of bandits, but there are quite a lot of them.”
At that time, there was a group that was caught by presence detection.
I think you’re over fifty? More people than expected were walking to where we were located.
When I got up and looked around, all the people on Hwanggeommun, the uninhabited island of the Zhuge family, were also holding weapons.
The total number of soldiers on our side was less than twenty, but on their side there were more than twice that number.
I got up and looked for Zhuge Xian, who could be said to be in charge.
Looking at his expression, it seemed like he was less inclined to fight with people than to fight with lizardmen.
“Chief, I can’t say this is coming in a good way, right?”
“Yes. I guess so. There’s no reason to come down from the mountain with everyone armed, right?”
Then Zhuge Xian looked at me and said.
“Surely what you say as soon as you arrive won’t tell you to hand me over?”
It may seem like he is overly self-conscious, but that doesn’t mean there is no possibility.
“If we can get through cleanly with the sacrifice of one person, it would be good to hand over Zhuge Xiaoje.”
So I also said it jokingly.
“If it were Nangong Jaga, she would have said she would protect me even if she died.”
“I’m not Nam Gung-hyeon, am I?”
I stroked the white flame pistol and waited for the bandits to come closer.
Fortunately, there was no one carrying a weapon such as a bow, but a large man in front of him spoke with a long sword on his shoulder.
“I heard that the daughter of the Jegal Sega family was sleeping on the street here, so I came to take her to the mountain house!”
“I guess I’m the cause.”
Zhuge Xian said, gently touching her forehead like a poor woman.
Come to think of it, I heard that Master became famous after wiping out all the bandits.
I walked forward while remembering that story.
“A lot of people are having a hard time because a monster has appeared here. Should I just take the girl from the Zhuge family?”
“Well, women with excellent off-white color are no different from treasures, so it’s okay to take them all. Cluck, clap.”
“Okay. I’d like to go first and check if it’s okay for the women to stay there, right?”
Then the bandit’s expression became distorted.
“You are a fearless little boy. Brothers! Kill all the male babies and the female ones!”
“Yes. Thank you. I had some leftover energy, so it would be perfect to relieve it.”
Four Wheels (Four Wheels)
Four rings of flame were created in an instant and wrapped around the fist.
The white flame pistol, filled with heat, began to glow white.
And Parryun(破輪)
He amplified his physical abilities, moved quickly at the large bandit in front, and threw a fist full of heat.
Whoa whoa whoa!!!
A large bandit flew into a group of bandits behind him.
“Ah. Yang energy has built up again. Tsk…”
Fortunately, there were still a lot of them left to eliminate.
