Return of Mount Hua Sect

Whoosh!

The crew swallowed dry saliva as the sleek-looking speedboat approached through the current.

"Number, number!"

"Oh, what do we do? Aren't you all going to die?"

The people on the deck fell in confusion. When he saw it, the captain, Mana, shouted at him.

"Stay calm!"

“…….”

"It's not uncommon to meet a water channel in the Janggang River! Our ship's relationship with the water channel is not so bad, so everything will be fine!"

Then someone asked in a trembling voice.

"Well, are you sure you're okay?"

"There's nothing to worry about. Even if the mountain is full of bandits, meeting the water in the Janggang River does not necessarily mean that the people who go to Pyo-haeng climb the mountain. Instead, we must not provoke them, so please gather around!"

The horseman relieved the passengers and quickly instructed the crew.

"What are you doing! Bring people to one side!"

"Yes, Captain!"

"Lower the anchor and stop the ship! Right now!"

"Yes!"

The crew began to move in unison as instructed. The horseman glanced at the approaching speedboat.

What's going on?

What he said was not a lie.

Janggang River is so wide and long that it does not have all the influence of the coffin. Therefore, all those who drive boats in the Janggang River have to take some of the threats from the water channel.

Nevertheless, the reason why they were embarrassed to see the water supply was because it was not an area where the water supply was found.

No matter how long it flows along the waterway, there should be a place to anchor a ship. As a result, the numbers are bound to work around where their watercolors are located.

In addition, as many as eighteen houses coexist in one Janggang, they tend to firmly protect each other's territory to avoid disputes.

As if seventy-two greens do not invade other mountainous areas.

But at least to the knowledge of horsepower, this was not where the watercolors were located.

Is there a new water supply?’

The neck of the horseman moved greatly with tension.

Watercolors with some acquaintance can solve it without any problems, but watercolors with unknown knowledge can cause problems. What's more, the new watercolors don't know what they'll do to show off their atrocities.

You have to stay alert.’

The horseman put pressure on his shoulders and prepared to face the approaching speedboat.

As the ship slowed down, the speedboat responded to the speed and stuck to the side.

Whoosh!

The sides hit each other and the ship shook loudly.

"Argh!"

"Oh, oh, oh!"

There was a momentary fear on people's faces.

As soon as the speedboat was completely attached to the side of the ship, dozens of rope with hooks flew over the deck.

Empty! Empty!

The hook that fell to the floor was dragged along with a thud and hung on the ship's railing. It looked as if a dozen people had grabbed the ship's railing. The rope was pulled tight.

Seeing the day of the hook stand eeriely, people couldn't even breathe heavily because they were nervous.

"Get up!"

Along with a harsh voice, several unmanned men in a rope came up to the deck.

Blue-colored mooboks resembling the color of the Janggang River.

Black Dragon's Mark on the Chest.

Amija and trident in hand.

It was typical of the numbers. The horseman moved forward, wiping the sweat off his forehead.

"I……."

"Hush."

At that moment, the sharp tip of the Amija was pointed at his neck.

"Shut up. Before I rip your mouth off."“…….”

The horseman nodded his head without saying a word. Then, he looked at the faces of his enemies who quickly climbed onto the deck. Desperately, there was no face he knew.

'There must be more scars than roads today.’

He looked back at his enemies with nervous eyes. Usually, a person with the right to decide will appear later.

Sure enough.

A man with a cold impression slowly emerged over the railing behind the city's enemies.

'Well.'

Then, So Jung-bok's face, which was looking at the situation from the back, became tense.

The man who appeared at the end looked quite different from the previous numbers. He was walking slowly on the rope.

Now this place is above the water, and it's also above the constant flow of water. Of course, the rope, which was twice as connected, was also fluctuating heavily. But isn't that guy walking on the rope like a flat ground?

Sojeong-bok belongs to a ghost gate, which can be said to have a knack for light work, so there was no way that he could not have known how difficult it was.

'Strong.'

His spine began to get wet.

"Well."

Toong.

The man, who jumped lightly onto the deck, looked around.

He is a man who looks cold at a glance. In addition, the two cuts across the face were making the impression even more eerie.

All those who received his cold eyes dared not make eye contact and lowered their eyes.

The man's gaze was fixed in one place as he looked all over the ship.

"Are you the captain?"

The horseman quickly opened his mouth.

"Yes! I'm the captain of this ship, horseman! It's an honor to meet the heroes of the Long River!"

"Hero?"

When the man asked back briefly, the horseman nodded his head.

"How can you not be called heroes, for you are the ones who obey the order of the Long River under the protection of King Heukryong?"

"Hahaha."

The man smiled quietly as if he liked the flattery.

"You know it well."

"Yes, it is a matter of course for those who travel to and from the Janggang River. With the heroes of the Long River, we can go back and forth with the protection of this rugged Long River."

"That's right."

So Jung-bok, who was watching, admired the horseman's speech.

Although he seems to be speaking with great fear, the captain emphasized the word order and protection. This meant that he would pay for protection, so let's move on without any major accidents.

The man nodded to see if he understood the meaning of the word.

"It's not easy to take care of the intestines. So those who pass the boundaries of our management should be grateful. Isn't it?"

"You're right. If you don't know the law, how dare you leave yourself in the water of the Long River? The Dragon King will be furious."

As things went easier than I thought, the horseman smiled with relief.

"Yes, are you prepared?”

"Well, hold on a second, please. I was so mad that I didn't know there were heroes here. If you give me a little time, I'll be ready in a minutely.

"We're not so laid back people. Let's just say I am, they can't stand boredom. If you don't want to see blood, hurry up."

"Oh, I see!"

As soon as the man nodded, the horseman ran backwards. He then explained the situation by lowering his voice to passengers aboard the ship.

"As you've all heard, I think you should show some sincerity."

Passengers nodded in unison and opened the front bag.

It's better to be ripped off than to lose your life. It's not that there's no resistance, but when I see the sharp weapons held by the enemies, the resistance naturally subsided.Everyone took money out of the vestibule and handed it to the sailors.

So Jung-bok sighed deeply at the scene.

'That's a relief.'

Contrary to the concerns, nothing much happened.

So Jung-bok was not very unfamiliar to the scene, as he now has some acquaintance with the bandits of Noklim. Usually, bandits or numbers are likely to kill people recklessly and extort money, but that doesn't really happen.

People are forced to avoid murder in certain areas or waterways repeatedly. Then the numbers have to move to other areas to make ends meet.

However, since this floor is certain of its own territory, it has to risk collisions to move it.

Rather, it is better to tear it in moderation so that it does not strain those passing by. Even if you reduce the amount of money you earn right now, you can still get the toll.

Then one of the sailors approached So Jung-bok and whispered.

"Look, the passengers are poor and the price is not good enough. I'm sorry, but can you give me a little more?"

"…I see."

So Jung-bok took a hermitage from the vestibule in his arms. The hermitage is a big money for So Jung-bok, but it is better to solve it with money than to cause problems for no reason. There's a lot more money to be paid for this.

"Here you are."

The sailor's face bloomed brightly on the hermit he gave.

"Thank you."

The crew takes the money they collect to the captain. The captain, who saved money in one place, took money out of his war bag and put it in a bag. Then he approached carefully and politely handed the sack to the enemy.

"It's a little sincerity. I don't think it's going to be a good case for the heroes of the Long River, but it's going to be worth the night's worth of alcohol to soothe their anxiety."

"Well."

The man reached out and took the sack. Then, without checking the amount, he lightly threw it at his subordinate in the back.

Knock, knock!

He reached out and patted the horseman on the shoulder.

"I remember my captain's face."

"It's an honor!"

"There will be no big problem if we continue to be so cooperative. Remember that the Janggang River is calm, but it's more rough when it's windy. Whether it's windy or not is up to you."

"I'll keep that in mind."

"All right."

The man nodded lightly and turned away. After finishing his business, he seemed to be thinking of leaving.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief secretly.

What a relief that the money was extorted but saved his life. In the middle of the Janggang River, where the influence of the coffin is not affected and most of the gatekeepers cannot use their hands, it is not strange whatever happens, so this is cheap.

But it was then.

The man was about to turn and cross the railing when a figure behind him whispered something into his ear.

"…… hmm?"

At the moment, he looked back slowly.

The man's eyes were fixed in one place as he looked through the nervous people again without knowing the English.

"I didn't realize there was a famous man on board.”

So Jung-bok, at the end of the gaze, momentarily hardened and chewed the flesh in his mouth.

"I didn't know there was a special ticket to that famous galaxy ticket. I would've been really sad if I just left.”

A cold sweat began to seep out of his forehead.

If you were in this situation on a flat surface, you wouldn't be embarrassed. His feet are faster than anyone else, so he can run away without having to deal with them. But this place is wide and deep over the Janggang River. No matter how fast your feet are, it's useless.

Even if you jump into the water, you can't run away from those who specialize in craftsmanship."Special offer……. I didn't know I'd meet someone who specializes in transporting precious things. I think I'm lucky today. Hahaha."

The man slowly approached Sojungbok. As if it were a sign, the numbers surrounded it in unison.
