#Desert of Death (2)

Gwapyeong, who was unable to utter all his harsh words, moved forward.

Mao’s head was in disarray. He had clearly thought that his life was quite unfortunate. He was born an illegitimate child, was persecuted every day, and had to lose the people around him.

But now that I look at it, I’m not sure.

Who would have thought that there would be such a hell outside of Cheonsan Mountain?

“Do you feel sorry for them?”

I turned my head at the voice I heard from next to me.

“Jang I-seo… … .”

That’s it. Mao stopped walking and became lost in thought at his question. The feeling was mysterious.

“I don’t know.”

When Mao answered honestly with a gloomy face, Zhang Yishu smiled faintly.

I thought it was growing pains.

The process of Mao, who used to live like a spoiled brat, gradually becoming an adult.

And Jang hoped that the process would be a meaningful time.

For him, and for the world.

“They are evil to us. They kidnapped Meng Hui, sold Mihonsan, and harmed countless people. They are not worthy of pity.”

“I guess so… … .”

“But to everyone else, we were a greater evil. It was certainly our school’s fault that they had to wander and not settle in the North.”

“Ugh… … Both of them are the worst.”

Jang Seo nodded. You wouldn’t know if you went inside and looked. However, if you just stood back and looked at the Demonic Cult, you could clearly see how fundamentally evil it was.

In particular, there were countless people who could not stand the peace we have now and who knowingly or unknowingly committed evil deeds around us.

Even most of those who supported the Thousand Weapons and Infinity War wanted a bloody war the most.

If it weren’t for Cheonma, it would have erupted like an active volcano long ago and dyed the world in blood.

“Do they hate us enough to kill us?”

“Yes, but that’s impossible. Our school is strong.”

“Then do they just live like that? Resenting being born outside?”

That’s amazing. You even thought of something like that.

Jang Yi-seo smiled affectionately. Then he passed by and said.

“Then, Mr. Chil-gong-ja, please try changing it.”

Me? Mao was flustered and kept pace with him. Then Zhang Yishu’s voice was heard again and again.

“To prevent such people from appearing any more, the Seven Princes are asking you to change your school.”

“Hey… is that okay?”

“It is possible. Once you reach the highest position, then you can change it.”

“Ji… … John!”

Yes, the Demonic Cult is a place where everything is ruled solely by power.

That is why peace in the Central Plains can be maintained now.

so…….

“Please be the best.”

“uh……?”

Zhang Lishu spoke with a big smile. Mao was dumbfounded by those words and stopped walking.

Thump, thump.

Those words asking me to become the best. What on earth is it that makes my heart beat so fast?

I want to be. No, I want to become.

So, I want to make everyone laugh.

Can you do it? Yes, you can.

Because I’m a genius. Because I’m not alone anymore.

Mao looked at Zhang Yishu’s back and smiled gently.

‘Okay… …! Just do it.’

It was the first time that a great goal was set in Mao’s heart, although he did not know when that would be.

“Hahaha! Let’s go together!”

Mao laughed brightly and ran after Zhang Yishe.

and.

‘Anyway, I said they’re fun guys.’

Soo, who was watching this from the rear, also smiled.

Wheeing!

Half a day has already passed since we entered the Tarim Basin.

The sun, which was in the middle of the sky, lowered its head and the wind gradually grew stronger.

And Gwa-pyeong, who was in the lead, got off his horse and said.

“From here on out, we’ll walk.”

Then he hit the rump of the horse he was riding and sent it flying away.

This meant that the destination was not far away, and it was not a situation where one could ride.

Wheeing-!

As the wind blew again, my vision was filled with sand grains, as if covered by a translucent yellow curtain.

There is no way a horse could withstand this level of yellow dust.

After saying those words, the group walked forward on two feet.

Before long, the sandstorm became increasingly severe, to the point where it was impossible to see more than 15 meters ahead.

Finally, the desert of death where storms strike all year round.

We have reached the Dead Sea.

“Welcome to the Dead Sea! The sandstorm will intensify for the next two hours. After that, it will calm down for half an hour. So, we need to get to the safe house before it gets worse!”

Gwa Ping, who was in the lead, shouted loudly. Mao responded with a loud voice.

“what?!”

Wheeeeeeing!

The sound of the wind blowing like blades is so ceaseless that no one can hear a word.

Gwapyeong gave up after explaining a couple more times, shrugging his shoulders and shouting briefly.

“Follow me!”

“uh-!”

This time, everyone nodded and followed steadily, as if they understood. After another long time, the group arrived at an abandoned house with its walls completely destroyed.

Gwapyeong struggled against the strong wind and opened the door hidden in the floor.

Thud!

Stairs going down. Don’t go.

When Gwapyeong motioned for them to come in, they went in one by one. Finally, he closed the door and hid himself.

Only then did the surroundings become quiet.

“Whew. I almost died. Are you guys really living here? You didn’t bring us here to kill us?”

Mao sighed, lowering the cloth covering his face.

At first, I wondered why he was covering himself with a blanket when it was hot. If it weren’t for this, my ears and mouth would have been filled with sand.

“I’m too precious to die with you.”

Gwapyeong laughed and shook the sand off his clothes.

Even if you shake off the sand lightly, the floor will be soaked with dirt, even down to your underwear.

“I’ve only heard of it, but this is my first time seeing it in person. The Dead Sea. It deserves to be called the Sea of ​​Death. If I stay still, I’ll be buried in the sand and die.”

So-o, who was usually not surprised by anything, shook his head as if he was truly shocked this time.

It is questionable how he managed to keep up with his clouded glasses.

“If the storm gets worse here, you won’t be able to breathe and will die. You’ll often even become deaf.”

Mao felt a chill at Gwapyeong’s words.

If I hadn’t seen it, I would have laughed at it and said it was nonsense, but not now.

The wind was so loud that it was deafening at the end. It was so loud that I could hear the sound of metal scraping.

The Dead Sea was not a place for humans to live. It was a curse of nature that made us realize how insignificant humans are.

I still can’t believe that Iron Horse lives here.

“This is the level at which you can hide. No one can come through a sandstorm of this size.”

I find myself nodding in agreement. At this point, it’s understandable why Biryongdang missed Maeng-hui.

“But the area where Guryongseong is is less affected, so you can rest assured.”

“Guryongseong?”

Jang I-seo asked back.

“This is the castle tower where we stay.”

“How much longer is left?”

“They’re all here. Roughly speaking, it’s about five hundred steps (350m)?”

There isn’t much time left. Jang Yi-seo’s expression darkened. And So-oh, who noticed this first, asked quietly as if whispering.

“Our assistant manager, why do you have that expression?”

“I have something to say before I go up.”

Wheeing!

The wind is howling overhead. It has lessened a bit since then. It won’t be long before the storm subsides.

“Why? Are you scared when you actually go in? Hehe.”

No way.

only…….

“Maybe the Biryongdang is already nearby. They already know that their base is in Sahae.”

“No way!”

Jang Yiseo’s remark made Gwapyeong shout in anger. He could no longer refute the words that followed.

“From the moment the Sixth Prince was kidnapped, the Biryongdang was already tracking him. They must have tried to find out where you were, but they probably didn’t know that a sandstorm would hit.”

“Wait a minute. So you’re saying they used Meng Hui as bait?”

Mao trembles with unbelievable betrayal. But it’s true.

“The reason the Biryongdangju attacked me was because I realized it. To hide their mistake.”

“What the hell! How can that make sense!”

That makes sense. It already happened.

Everyone was shocked. It was such a big shock.

“The reason the owner was in the village was to chase after you, Gwapyeong. They already knew about you. But things got complicated when I showed up.”

Gwapyeong frowned. The tail was too long. He kept looking for a guest house to find a business partner.

But.

“Why are you telling me that now?!”

Of course it had to be that way.

“If you had told me in advance, you wouldn’t have come here.”

“You’re saying you used me!”

Jang Yi-seo nodded.

“I had no choice. As you said, there was no time to save the six princes.”

“What the hell!”

Boom! Gwapyeong stomped his foot on the floor.

It would be pointless to get angry. Since they discovered that they were in the Sahae, the Demonic Cult would have found their base somehow.

Now the group let out a sigh of relief as if all the pieces had fallen into place.

This is absolutely absurd.

“I’m sorry I didn’t tell you in advance. But I’ll do my best to make sure that no one gets hurt.”

“You fucking bastard… … .”

Gwapyeong gritted his teeth and muttered, “You might as well just apologize.”

“That’s fine. It’s over once you enter the castle anyway. No one can beat the captain in the sea.”

“If that’s the case, then that’s good.”

Jang Yiseo nodded. Then, all that was left was to safely enter the Kowloon Castle within the two-story building.

And at that moment, the sound of the wind that had been blowing steadily finally became quiet.

The sandstorm has stopped.

Everyone’s eyes lit up and they nodded to each other.

“let’s go.”

Once again, Gwapyeong took the lead and climbed the stairs.

Thud!

As I opened the door hanging from the ceiling and went out to the first floor of the abandoned building, the sand that had filled my field of vision disappeared, and the view of the Dead Sea that I had not been able to see even an inch ahead of me came into view.

“This was a village?!”

Mao shouted in shock. That was it. What was visible through the broken walls of the abandoned house was a village.

It was a dead village with countless abandoned houses, where thousands of people must have lived.

“Then over there… … .”

Mao muttered, this time pointing to the distance. At the tip of his finger was a towering castle tower.

A tower built like an eyesore by overlapping decks and wood on the outside.

“Yes. It’s the Kowloon Castle where we’re staying. And it’s also where the little boy you’re looking for is imprisoned.”

A light appeared in Jang Yiseo’s eyes. He had finally arrived. To where Maeng Hui was.

“Hurry up. The sandstorm will start again after this time. The gates of Kowloon City are open only now. If you miss it this time, you will have to wait outside for an hour in the sun.”

At Gwapyeong’s words, everyone quickly walked out.

The ground is soft and sandy, so I can’t walk very fast. But now there are only about 100 chapters (300m) left. This is more than enough time.

Of course, assuming there are no interruptions.

Doo doo doo doo!

“hmm?!”

At that very moment, a heavy vibration began to resonate from the ground.
