Chapter 83. Nine Lands Medicinal Flower (2/2)
The wind that followed them during the trip shook the surroundings violently.
In the distance, Cho Ryu Hyang was able to spot ‘that’ from before.
‘What is that?’
The number that could be seen in his eye was immense.
Its color was red, as well.
Cho Ryu Hyang became hesitant when he felt a feeling of danger creep up on him.
‘Should I go near it…….?’
So far, there were many cases where a number’s numerical value was large, but there was never a case where the number itself was large.
And the value of that number was changing as well.
It really was a strange phenomenon.
“Is it here?”
Cho Ryu Hyang was unable to make a decision, even after hearing Un Hui’s voice.
Un Hui probably couldn’t see this phenomenon.
‘Should I go?’
Zhuge Liang’s words held him back quite a bit for some reason.
After thinking for quite a while, Cho Ryu Hyang spoke as he fixed his glasses.
“It’s over there.”
“Understood.”
Un Hui looked at the direction Cho Ryu Hyang was pointing at, then exerted pressure on the top of the tree he was on with his foot.
The tree bent backwards like a giant bow.
When Cho Ryu Hyang began to feel his body tilt backwards,
Paan–!
Un Hui moved rapidly through the air, using the tree.
Shwiii–!
The distance between Cho Ryu Hyang and that ‘thing’ rapidly closed as Un Hui moved.
Cho Ryu Hyang widened his eyes as they moved through the air.
“Ah……..”
A sigh came out of Cho Ryu Hyang.
Tuk–
The moment Un Hui set his foot on the ground, Cho Ryu Hyang gripped Un Hui’s shoulders strongly.
“My lord?”
When Un Hui made a confused face, Cho Ryu Hyang bit his teeth.
“…….Be careful.”
Un Hui looked around at Cho Ryu Hyang’s words.
But he couldn’t really see anything.
After this, he opened up his senses.
As he was a harmonious expert, his senses were much better than those of a normal man’s.
But he still couldn’t find anything.
While Un Hui was looking around confusedly,
Cho Ryu Hyang was also getting confused.
‘I can’t see it?’
The moment he got closer, the giant number disappeared.
Just what was going on?
Then, something caught Cho Ryu Hyang’s eye.
“Let me down for a second.”
Un Hui kneeled, and carefully put Cho Ryu Hyang down.
Then, Cho Ryu Hyang marched forward, then touched the ground, the stone, and the trees.
His eyes twitched.
‘This is……..’
It was a formation.
If this really was just a normal formation, Cho Ryu Hyang wouldn’t have been surprised at all.
What surprised him was the fact that the formation wasn’t ‘artificial’.
He confirmed multiple times, but found that the formation wasn’t created by a human.
It was created by nature, thanks to having several conditions for a formation being met in the area.
‘So these really did exist.’
He had heard of these in the past from his teacher.
A formation of nature.
It was a formation c/reated after a long period of time, due to the harmony between the trees, the grass, and the rocks.
These formations didn’t really do much harm.
It just warded off intruders, or made people confused.
A normal formation expert wouldn’t have even been able to notice such a formation.
Cho Ryu Hyang was only able to realize this fact due to his sight.
According to his memory, even his teacher, Jo Gi Chun, never managed to see such a formation.
Cho Ryu Hyang began to think again.
Inside the formation, there should be that ‘thing’ he saw earlier.
That was certain.
‘This might really be dangerous.’
Cho Ryu Hyang touched his glasses.
He could feel his heart tighten all of the sudden.
His senses were warning him of danger.
Cho Ryu Hyang couldn’t ignore his own senses.
Zhuge Liang clearly told him before that anything that could harm him was displayed with red numbers.
What was in the formation was bright red, and it was giant as well.
‘But…….’
He was curious.
Curiosity had taken the better of him.
After thinking for a long time, Cho Ryu Hyang took a look at Un Hui.
Un Hui was silently watching Cho Ryu Hyang from a distance.
“…….I’m thinking of doing something now. Can you stay quiet while I do this?”
“As you command.”
“Don’t shout or move too much.”
“Understood.”
Cho Ryu Hyang rolled up his sleeves, and licked his lips.
He decided to look at what was inside.
‘I can’t go back with empty hands, after all…….’
It would be disappointing if he went back with empty hands.
That feeling excited Cho Ryu Hyang’s heart.
And that was why Cho Ryu Hyang decided to be adventurous.
‘Let’s do this.’
It was easy to destroy a formation.
There were formations that required someone to go in first, but that was usually for an extremely complicated formation. A formation like this could be easily destroyed from the outside.
Well, easy for Cho Ryu Hyang, that is.
Paa–!
Once Cho Ryu Hyang touched something on the ground, and broke a tree branch next to him, the world opened up to him.
It was same for Un Hui as well.
It was almost as if the trees in front of him suddenly lost its vibrancy?
‘Amazing.’
He had already known that the heir was a master of formations.
But this still amazed him.
While Un Hui was looking at everything with amazement, Cho Ryu Hyang stepped forward.
There was something in front of him.
And it was dragging him in.
Un Hui slowly followed Cho Ryu Hyang.
How far had they walked?
After a moment, Cho Ryu Hyang stopped moving.
Un Hui stopped as well.
‘What is it?’
There was barely anything in front of him at all.
There was just an empty field.
The fact that there was such a field in the middle of a forest was surprising, but there was a strange flower in the middle that drew even more attention.
Un Hui’s eyes widened as he carefully observed the flower.
‘Nine Lands Medicinal Flower (九地蘭藥花)?’
Was that not the medicinal herb of legends?
When his mouth was about to widen in surprise.
A small, white bunny leapt from the back of the flower.
The moment Cho Ryu Hyang saw this, he began to tremble.
Cho Ryu Hyang spoke with fear, towards the confused Un Hui.
“……..Run.”
“What?”
It was a small whisper.
When Un Hui said this, Cho Ryu Hyang began to move backwards while trembling violently.
“Run, damn it!”
Un Hui’s face immediately changed.
The heir was a master of formations.
There must be a reason why the heir was being like this.
Un Hui quickly grabbed Cho Ryu Hyang, and ran.
But it was already too late.
