Warrior Grandpa and Supreme Granddaughter - Chapter 9
Episode 9: I Didn’t Know, Old Man (3)
Yu Jin-san hurriedly followed towards the light. I had to see what it was.
It was about half past half hour as we ran frantically through the mountains.
The bluish light stopped and gradually began to take shape.
A huge body like a tiger and sharp fangs. Moreover, the bristling blue fur was rippling like waves.
Eugene San’s heart sank.
“…Cheongrang?”
Cheongrang (靑狼). It was a man-eating wolf so famous that its notoriety spread throughout Shaanxi.
Over the past 30 years, more than a thousand people have been eaten by it.
So far, many legendary hunters and warriors have tried to catch him, but no one has returned alive.
How could anyone have expected that blue langurs would have flowed all the way to Yangju Mountain?
Deep, abyss-like eyes were glaring at me.
Facing that, Yu Jin-san’s whole body seemed frozen. I had never felt this much pressure from another person in my entire life. But there was only one thought dominating his mind.
‘It must be killed.’
I had to catch it for my granddaughter’s safety.
He looked around, looking for things he could use as weapons. It was a shame that he didn’t bring a spear.
He carefully lowered his lower body and picked up a stone from the floor.
Cheongrang seemed to be looking for an opening by moving sideways one step at a time.
Yu Jin-san also swallowed dry saliva and injected strength into the stone.
Crumbling!
At that moment, Cheongrang kicked the ground and started running towards him. It was truly lightning fast.
Jin-san Yu hurriedly fired a rock at the guy’s forehead.
Paang-!
The sound of cutting through the air was all that was heard. It was a failure.
What was even more absurd was that Cheongrang disappeared before his eyes.
Yu Jin-san, who felt a chill down his spine, quickly looked back.
Surprisingly, the blue tiger that was charging in front was behind him with its mouth wide open.
‘What the hell!’
Jinsan Yu had no time to panic and stretched out both hands reflexively.
Yuga Geongonjang (劉家乾坤掌) Lee Cho-sik Maengryonghoeanta (猛龍回顔打).
It is a herbivore that hits the face of a fierce dragon.
The two hands, moving like a tidal wave, hit the approaching blue rang precisely in the mouth.
Kwaang-!
With a dull sound, the three pieces of blue rang flew out.
Yuga Geongonjang is a soft and heavy jang method that embodies the qualities of flow and weight. On the other hand, its destructive power was not that strong.
As expected, Cheongrang seemed not shocked and was looking for an opportunity to attack again.
‘He’s a tough guy to deal with with bare hands.’
My wrist felt stiff, as if I had hit a rock. However, he could not show signs of pain in front of the beast.
The two continued their snowball fight as if they didn’t want to lose to each other.
After a while. Suddenly something unexpected happened. Suddenly, the blue rang turns its back and quietly disappears.
‘Cheongrang said that once he sets his sights on hunting, he never gives up. ‘Something is strange.’
It was a highly intelligent spirit creature. Yu Jin-san, feeling somewhat chilly, ran towards his residence.
The residence that seemed small in the distance quickly approached and filled my field of vision.
The moment the distance reached a dozen pages, his eyes widened as if they were torn apart.
just as expected. Cheongrang was rushing toward his residence.
“this guy!!”
Eugene-san, whose eyes rolled back, ran with all his might.
Paaaang-!
The speed at which he ran, stepping on fallen leaves, was as fast as lightning.
The joints of my entire body were screaming due to the light ball being pushed beyond its limit.
But that probably had nothing to do with it.
The moment it was narrowed down to three chapters, his new type came to mind.
And the ensuing kick of anger.
Kwasik-!
Cheongrang, which was running into the house, bounced to the other side.
It was a fleeting moment. As the guy was regaining his bearings, Jinsan Yu grabbed his waist and quickly entered the living room.
“Ugh.”
While kicking too hard, I sprained my back.
When he came out of the house again, he had a spear clutched in his hand.
The moment he extended the tip of his spear diagonally, his momentum changed.
“You dared to try to eat my baby. Please come back sometime.”
A brilliant cluster of lights blazed from the tip of the spear aimed at Cheongnang.
Originally, energy has a translucent and intangible nature, but the energy emitted through the Fire Dragon Spear has a red color.
Crumbling!
Cheonglang maintained a certain distance and sharpened his fangs.
Did you feel the unusual force of Mt. Eugene? He didn’t seem to move as easily as before.
“Come in.”
Yujinsan also could not initiate the attack. The moment I stepped aside from the entrance, the clever guy could have targeted the child again.
The two continued to glare at each other without even moving.
There was a breathtaking tension.
Only after a few moments had passed did the blue rang lower its tail and take a step back.
A sigh burst out of Yu Jin-san’s mouth as the tension was relieved.
“phew. “You truly are a devil.”
“Habae!”
Before he knew it, Yuseol was holding onto his leg.
“Don’t worry. “Grandpa will protect you no matter what happens.”
As long as Cheongrang was alive, he could not take his eyes off his granddaughter even for a moment. The Fire Dragon Spear, an heirloom, had to be kept nearby at all times.
Several days passed and Cheongrang did not come back.
No, I had to think that he was looking for an opportunity somewhere. Aren’t they vicious man-eating wolves that, once they set a target, will chase it wherever they go and eat it?
Even if you move to another mountain, you won’t feel safe. An uncomfortable life continued.
* * *
“Now, hurry up and eat. “You have to eat a lot to grow well.”
Jinsan Yu was feeding mushroom porridge to his granddaughter inside the house. It was impossible not to look pretty as she ate everything well.
While I was moving the spoon with a happy smile, a thought suddenly occurred to me.
‘Now that I think about it, I don’t know if the children in Heuksan Island will be okay.’
Although they were unpleasant, they were still our only neighbors who lived on the same mountain.
Since I received a gift, I thought it would be appropriate to at least tell him to be careful in return.
After finishing the meal, Yu Jin-san took out a wrapping cloth, wrapped his granddaughter, and placed her on his back. I didn’t forget to take my spear.
Since I had already memorized the route, I walked without hesitation.
However, the atmosphere was different from the last time I visited. There is no one standing guard until we arrive at the mountain lodge.
It was only when we arrived near the entrance that we encountered about a dozen bandits. As soon as they spotted them, they smiled awkwardly.
“Hello, old man.”
Seeing the polite greeting, Jin-san Yu felt a little relieved.
“It looks like you received a good education in the meantime. “I came to see Chaeju.”
As soon as he finished speaking, one of the bandits ran off somewhere.
The other person guided Yujinsan and began to move slowly.
The moment we entered the living quarters, there was an unpleasant smell of blood. His keen gaze found traces of confusion.
‘Are you saying it’s too late?’
A few small log cabins and two sunken watchtowers. Plus, there are claw marks engraved here and there. The traces of Cheongrang were clear.
At that time, someone familiar jumped out from the innermost hall. Chae Joo came out to meet him in person.
“I thought you would come at least once. Please eat it quickly.”
“I came to warn you, but it seems I was late.”
“It looks like you also ran into an old man. It looks like he has established himself here. “Movements are becoming more and more bold.”
“Blatantly breaking into a mountain house and committing massacre. “This is truly surprising.”
“At first, I thought it was just to fill my stomach, but after watching it, I think I’m killing it for fun. Wolves never do this. “It’s not a beast, it’s a devil.”
Yu Jin-san had a good understanding of the bastard’s cleverness.
It was not a spiritual creature that Heuksando could block. They were about to be annihilated by Cheongrang before the Shaman faction began to retaliate.
But there was no reason for him to get involved with them.
“Anyway, be careful. “I just came to warn you, but since I’ve said everything, I’ll just leave.”
When Yujinsan tried to leave immediately, Chaeju urgently stopped him.
“You came this far, so how can I just let you go? It is not Heuksando’s duty to just let guests go. “It’s shabby, but I’ll at least treat you to a cup of tea.”
Yu Jin-san thought for a moment and nodded once.
“That’s right.”
The two entered the palace and sat facing each other.
Chaeju put both hands together and handed over the gun first.
“Let me formally introduce myself. “This is Chaeju Pungho of Heuksando.”
“I’m just an ugly old man.”
Since I was being chased, there was no benefit in saying my name.
Pungho asked, filling the teacup as if it didn’t matter.
“I already know. “He is the only surviving head of the Yu family.”
A look of surprise appeared on Yu Jin-san’s face. I never thought he would know his identity.
“…How did you know?”
“Although it is nesting in Yangju Mountain, it knows what is going on in the world. “The Murim Alliance is chasing the elder.”
“It looks like you saw the wanted poster for the Murim Alliance. But why didn’t you report it? “The bounty will be quite big, right?”
A bitter smile appeared on Feng Ho’s face.
“This is a force that we are not very familiar with. A bounty is nice, but I don’t really want to see something that political faction bastards like.”
“It’s nice to be honest. “Aren’t they the forces trying to subdue you?”
This time, Pungho looked surprised.
“Did you know?”
Eugene San, who was holding a teacup, cleared his throat once and spoke softly.
“I happened to hear the bandits’ conversation. Even if you don’t do righteous things, live without sinning. “Everything comes back in the end.”
“What can I say? But we, Heuksando, also have rules. Civilians who are not part of a strong group will never attack. “Except for those who encroach on the territory.”
“Does this mean that there is at least a conscience?”
“Strength is a world where the strong take and are taken away, and the strong rule everything. Looking at the Murim Alliance’s leaflet, it was said that a normal old man fell into a witchcraft spell and became a madman. “What is the difference between those guys hiding in the shadows and doing trash and us, the unpretentious Heuksando Island?”
“I heard that too. “Maybe we have the same enemies.”
Pungho bowed his head with a serious expression and said.
“Please help us, old man.”
“I know the situation on Heuksan Island well, but I am in a position where I cannot participate in an unnecessary fight. “You must survive at all costs for the sake of the child behind you.”
“We will take care of the fight against the punitive force. But Cheongrang…”
For the safety of his granddaughter, Jinsan Yu had to kill him as well. There was no reason to refuse this.
“If it’s Cheongrang, it’s a different story. “I will help you in that area.”
“Thank you. “Even if I can’t die with honor, at least I don’t want to die by being bitten by an animal.”
“I guess so. “What method have you come up with to catch him?”
There was no way for Pung-ho to find a way. If that had been the case, it would have been used sooner or there would have been no need to ask Eugene San for help.
“…Please teach me.”
Yu Jin-san cleared his throat once again and smiled meaningfully.
“How about digging a trap inside a living plant and trying to lure it in?”
“If it’s a trap, what kind of…?”
