Chapter 253
Episode 253: The Secret of Haereung Island (1)
Jo-son moved to the tropical tree forest on the highest hill.
It was a location where it was possible to spy from afar because of the clear visibility.
The two first created a hiding place. It was a space large enough to store luggage, etc. and simply relax.
And now, they were squatting together on a tree and looking around.
“Grandpa, what are these people doing?”
Everywhere, people wearing pure white masks were walking around in groups of twos and threes.
Everyone appeared to be shirtless, and each had a weapon visible at their waists.
“They must be patrolling kids. “But it doesn’t look normal.”
“Then what is that farm?”
Eugene San looked at the direction his granddaughter was pointing to.
On one side of the island, a red field was spread out neatly.
There, too, there were undoubtedly people wearing white masks. They seemed to be squatting down and harvesting something.
“hmm. If you want to make a living here, you have to farm. But it doesn’t seem to be what we are used to.”
Since these were crops I had never seen before, I couldn’t give a clear answer.
Yu Seol lost interest and changed the topic.
“But if we all wear masks, how will we recognize each other?”
“Perhaps, I think it was intentionally masked with that intention. “Then it’s easier to control.”
“A warrior dragon?”
How dare you call a fearsome figure who terrorized the southern martial forest as if you were a local friend. I couldn’t help but laugh.
Jinsan Yu smiled and nodded.
“OK. By the way, can’t you see the other entrance?”
“huh. “There’s nothing there other than the front door.”
We had to sneak into the interior of the wall surrounding the center of the island.
However, there was no room to sneak through the watertight, impenetrable perimeter.
“It won’t be easy. “I never thought they would protect it so double and triple.”
“Then let’s just break through.”
It’s not impossible.
No matter how many warriors there are, they will not be able to stop the yin-yang twin monsters.
But getting inside was the problem.
There is no information about what is inside and what kind of experts are there.
It was something I couldn’t risk.
“If you go in blindly, you may end up in trouble. First, let’s find and capture someone who might know what’s going on inside.”
“You want to kidnap me?”
“Kidnapping. When you say that, it makes us sound like villains. “I’m just saying, let’s bring him in and ask him.”
Yoo Seol nodded, turned on the light in his eyes and looked around.
While searching for a suitable target, he pointed out someone with an interesting look on his face.
“Grandpa. “That person’s mask is a different color.”
It was a road where over 200 people had fallen.
A figure wearing a black mask was passing by with an arrogant gait.
Whenever those wearing white masks encountered him, they lowered their heads.
At first glance, he was a person of class. There must be something you know.
“I found it very well. good job!”
Yoo Seol smiled brightly, probably feeling better at the long-awaited compliment.
“Hehe. “Let’s go quickly and catch him.”
“OK. “Let’s move over there.”
Eugene San and Yu Seol took a detour up the hill, leaving no trace. It was a deserted direction.
Perhaps because it is a southern island, there were many tall tropical trees.
There was no better environment to hide in.
After a while, the two arrived at their destination and hid behind a tree.
Although Yu Jin-san and her granddaughter did not learn the assassin’s secret techniques, they were able to perfectly store energy inside.
Therefore, unless your martial arts skill was at the same or higher level, you would never be able to find it.
– Should I attack you now?
Yu Jin-san gestured to his granddaughter, who had sent a message, telling her to wait.
The target was a black mask, but there were also three white masks.
If you put your mind to it, it wouldn’t be an easy task to beat him in one go. But there was no need to attract attention.
– no. It would be best to wait a bit and catch the guy wearing the black mask.
Eugene San and his granddaughter, who hid behind a tree, waited until they dispersed.
Fortunately, it didn’t take long.
After a while, the person wearing the black mask started walking alone in the opposite direction.
Josun followed him and waited for the right moment. May the popularity around you disappear.
And it wasn’t long before his steps entered a blind spot.
“Come here. “I won’t hit you.”
The black masked warrior flinched when he heard a voice coming from behind him.
When I looked back, a girl was gesturing for me to come closer.
“…?”
His masked head tilted gently to the right.
They must have been confused because they couldn’t figure out what was going on.
But he never had a chance to do anything from the beginning.
Yu Jin-san suddenly appeared behind him and hit him on the back of the knee with the side of the spear.
Tsk-!
He was hit in the rear without even knowing what was going on, and his knees buckled and he tried to sit down.
But even that wasn’t allowed.
This is because Yoo Seol, who had already approached us, was flailing his feet.
The curved instep hit him squarely on the head.
Kwaang-!
His neck was broken as if it were broken, and he was thrown to the ground unconscious.
dump-!
“Hurry up and catch it, grandpa.”
“OK. “Let’s go back quickly.”
Eugene San and his granddaughter ran toward the hideout, holding him from the front and back.
Taaa-!
Since we were going back to the route we had figured out in advance, there was no hesitation in the light attack.
After a while, the two arrived at the hiding place and leaned him behind a tree.
Then Yuseol brought a tree trunk from somewhere and started tying him up.
“Your knotting skills have improved a lot. “Close up tight so they can’t escape.”
“Yeah, wait a minute.”
After a while, when his new model was firmly fixed to the tree, Jinsan Yu said with a happy expression.
“Good work. “Hurry up and take off your mask.”
Even so, I was curious about the rumor. Why do you wear a mask like this?
That time when I slowly took off the mask.
Yoo Seol frowned when she saw the face revealed through the gap.
“Ugh!”
When the granddaughter put the mask back on, Jinsan Yu asked with an expression of confusion.
“Baby, what’s wrong?”
“Your face… your face is very damaged.”
“hmm. “Please come back for a moment.”
Yu Jin-san, who exchanged positions with his granddaughter, also took off his mask.
As if he had been waiting, he wrinkled his face and covered his mask again.
“This isn’t just a bruised face.”
I have never seen such an ugly face.
It looked as if it had melted.
“huh. “I don’t think we should take it off and talk about it.”
Jinsan Yu also nodded as if he agreed. Then, he let the energy flow into the body of the unconscious guy.
“Ok…”
He came to his senses and started moaning as if his head hurt from being hit by Yu Seol.
I had no intention of waiting leisurely for his recovery.
“I’m going to ask you a few questions now. If you answer the questions obediently, I will let you go with ease. “Nod your head if you agree.”
“….”
Let alone nodding, he didn’t even move his head.
“okay. Of course, there’s no way I can talk about it obediently. “I knew it would come out like that.”
Jinsan Yu stretched out a hand behind his back.
Then Yuseol rummaged through his luggage and took out a short, blunt club.
“here.”
Eugene San, who took the club, tapped the other palm with it and said.
“Nobu is going to beat you from now on, so if you feel like you’re going to die, tell me. “Then let me lower the intensity.”
“….”
Even though I said this, there is not even a movement.
Jinsan Yu looked at his eyes flashing inside the mask.
The whites of the eyes were ugly with bursting veins, and the pupils were completely out of focus.
‘You’re in no state to open your mouth to threats. ‘What on earth happened?’
From the strange face to the blurry eyes. I couldn’t understand at all.
It was a moment when I was lost in thought about what to do.
“Grandpa, there’s a ship coming in!”
A ship was slowly approaching from the open sea.
Isn’t this island a place where even government warships are reluctant to approach? In that case, they must be in the same league as those who occupied this island without permission.
But the shape was a little strange. The structure was definitely different from that of the midfielder.
And on the deck, I saw huge boxes stacked neatly.
“It looks like these guys are dabbling in smuggling.”
“Smuggling?”
“OK. It is clear that illegal bartering is taking place. “Probably doing business with other countries.”
The docks in the southern part of the Central Plains are under strict surveillance due to the blockade policy, so smuggling trade will not be possible. Given the circumstances, it was only possible to infer that the transaction partner was a foreign country.
And it seemed like there might be another island or a place in the middle to exchange supplies.
“What are we trying to exchange? I’m curious.”
Just like my granddaughter, I was also curious about Eugene Mountain.
What on earth are these guys up to?
I just couldn’t pass it up.
“Grandpa will come check soon, so please watch over this guy for a while.”
“You have to come quickly.”
“OK. “Don’t go anywhere.”
Yu Jin-san ran towards there, clutching a spear.
After a while, I went to hide in the forest of trees on the hill.
With about a hundred miles left from the shore, his steps suddenly stopped.
‘What is that guy again?’
About twenty miles ahead.
A middle-aged man was seen hiding in a tree, spying on the shore.
Even at a glance, the martial arts skills seemed great.
Judging from the momentum felt, it seemed like it was about to reach its peak.
One peculiarity was that he did not wear a mask and his clothing was different.
‘Are you saying you’re not a subordinate of the warrior dragon? ‘Then what is this guy doing?’
Yu Jin-san postponed approaching the coast and followed him.
He took advantage of everyone’s attention focused on the ship and approached somewhere secretly.
A little while later, when he arrived, there was a shabby warehouse standing there.
Two warriors wearing white masks were guarding the entrance, but they could not stop him.
Sigh-! Phew!
After easily defeating the two, he looked left and right and entered the warehouse.
And Yu Jin-san hid himself and watched what he brought out.
It didn’t take that long.
After a while, he reappeared and there was a sack on his shoulder.
‘Is it a bag of rice? ‘Why did you steal that?’
It was something I couldn’t understand.
He looked around and eventually started to run away to where he came from.
Mt. Yujin, which was located on a high terrain, was watching the scene at a glance.
“hmm. “Wouldn’t it be difficult to go that way?”
Because the masked warriors were approaching there.
The problem was that there was a red masked warrior among them. Even though there was only one person, it was clear that he was an incredible expert even from afar.
I wanted to at least warn him, but there was no way.
just as expected.
Beep-!
It was a whistle sound. At the same time, masked warriors were seen flocking to where the middle-aged man was.
He was startled and tried to run away, but was quickly surrounded. This is because the number of masked warriors was so large.
Soon after, he began a grueling fight alone.
His left hand clutched the rice bag on his shoulder and he frantically swung the sword held in his right hand.
Kaan-! Kang-! Kakang-!!
It seemed like I wouldn’t be able to hold out for long.
The siege continued to thicken, and the red-masked warrior who seemed the strongest had not even intervened yet.
Jinsan Yu looked at him pitifully and clicked his tongue.
“Tsk, tsk. It was a good attempt to steal, but an escape route should have been secured in advance.”
First, I decided to watch a little more.
This is because I have not yet decided whether it is worth taking the risk to help.
