“Are all preparations complete?”

Everyone standing in front of the crack nodded silently. Ho Cheon-an looked one by one at the equipment and personnel that would be mobilized to hunt the spirit beast.

First of all, chains, hooks, and harpoons were placed so that they could be quickly inserted into the crack. The condition of the items was perfect as they were all inspected by the Tang Soyeol before going on the campaign trail.

All measures have been taken to minimize the sound of the chains by wrapping them in leather.

Yeo Il-ye and Dang Do-yeon, who made eye contact with Ho Cheon-an, nodded lightly. Dang Do-yeon was well prepared for weapons to use instead of whips during this hunt, and Yeo Il-ye also seemed to be in perfect condition.

After that, Ho Cheon-an’s gaze turned to the practitioner whose eyes had changed.

Those who realized what the real strategy was through cooperation training were exuding confidence that was qualitatively different from before. Ho Cheon-an looked at those eyes and opened his mouth as a final motivation.

“I am confident that this hunt will be successful, but it is better to have a follow-up plan. If this hunt fails, you will receive special training in fighting techniques for two weeks, so please do your best.”

“Evil!”

A fire lit up in the practitioners’ eyes. If I fail today, I have to do that training… for two more weeks?

Somehow, I will succeed in hunting this spirit beast!

Ho Cheon-an nodded with satisfaction at the glowing eyes and energy of the practitioners.

“Then we will proceed according to the strategy.”

“Evil!”

Three attendants, including Ottercha, entered the crack first. One person in the crack, one person in the area where the crack transitioned into the passage, and the otter car entered together.

‘It’s over there.’

Crackling. Crack!

Otter Tea held its breath as it heard the sound coming from a cavity where there was no light. Keeping the location of the retreat route in mind, the otter car quietly entered the hollow. Seeing the black-clad tortoise concentrating on gnawing at the bedrock even though it had entered the cavity, the otter car returned to the passage and sent a hand signal.

One by one, the practitioners quietly melted into the community. After the minimum number of people to spread out the camp was eight, the remaining people entered together, dragging bundles of iron chains.

Sigh. Sigh.

The chains were wrapped in leather to silence the noise, but that doesn’t mean the metal sounds will not be heard at all.

Stand tall.

For a moment, the black armored earth dragon stopped moving. As soon as the sound of the rock breaking stopped, the entering personnel who were watching for the presence of the black armored earth dragon stopped.

Suddenly. Suddenly.

The moment the black armored earth dragon turned its head, all the practitioners in the room simultaneously held their breath. Did you feel something strange? The practitioners touched the pouch in their arms and paid attention to the movements of the black armored earth dragon.

Crack!

The black armored earth dragon turned its head back to the bedrock, and a silent sigh of relief filled the cavity.

Once the work of moving the chain was in progress again and the noise of moving the equipment stopped, Ottercha took off the leather pouch from his arms.

Whoa!

The light of Yamyeongju instantly drove away the communal darkness. As Ottercha removed the leather pouch that covered Ah Myeong-ju, all the attendants in the attack team also removed the leather pouches that covered their Ya Myeong-ju.

Wow!! Wow!!

The black earth dragon that was digging into the bedrock suddenly twisted its entire body at the feast of light that filled the cavity. Although it was a black armored earth dragon without a cry or facial expression, the people in the cavity could feel the anger of the black armored earth dragon through its movements.

“Operate Suranahanjin!”

With the cry of the otter car, the huge body of the black armored earth dragon rushed in.

It was the beginning of a hunt for spiritual creatures.

bang! Quawang! bang!

“Sura’s older brother!”

“Movement is rougher than expected! Be careful!”

“Don’t overdo it! If everything goes according to plan, our turn is still far away! Even if the flow of the line is interrupted, safety comes first!”

The attack team attracted the attention of the black armored earth dragon. What the black armored dragon is aiming for is not the attack team, but the night pole hanging around the attacker’s neck.

Earth dragon-type spirits hate light very much. Earthworms are naturally creatures with very sensitive senses, and intense light is too much of a stimulus for them.

Well, that guy has become insensitive because most of his sense organs are covered by rocks, but no matter how much he surrounds himself with rocks, his snout is bound to be exposed.

Anyway, the guy felt like a pedestrian being hit by twin lights from a car and was showing violence to the attackers.

“Yeoilye Sojeo!”

“It’s moving!”

Quaaa!!

Yeo Il-ye plunged the harpoon deep into the ground. The harpoon, which has a structure like an arrowhead that is easy to insert but difficult to remove, was firmly embedded in the rock. While Yeo Il-ye ran away holding another harpoon, I tied a chain to the end of the harpoon.

Yeo Il-ye puts harpoons in various places and I run after them and tie the chains. In order to buy time, the practitioners were confronting the black armored earth dragon.

“Central! Move to the center!”

“Create a work space!”

The black-armored earth dragon was running wild and a guy that easily weighed over a thousand pounds was running wild, so the cavity also shook accordingly. Usually, in cave terrain like this, environmental variables such as falling stalactites or falling rocks may occur, but fortunately, there are no such variables because the cave was artificially dug by the black-clad earth dragon.

“Let’s put one here too!”

“Yes!”

The harpoons that Yeo Il-ye was holding shrunk one by one. All ten harpoons I brought with me were stuck and chained.

Finally, the placement of the harpoon, which could become the basis of the strategy, was completed.

“Dang Do-yeon Sojeo!”

“I waited!”

Clap la la la la la rock!!

Dang Do-yeon worked with chains endlessly as a helper in the training of practitioners. Dang Do-yeon swung the chain connected to the harpoon, and the chain drew a refreshing trajectory and wound around the body of the black armored earth dragon.

Peeee!!

For the first time, the movements of the black armored earth dragon, which was swinging its body violently and attacking the practitioners, were stopped. The chain was tense as if it would break, and the deeply embedded harpoon shook once, but was not pulled out.

As expected, made in Tang So-yeol. Like a chain made by the world’s greatest craftsman in the future, it is capable of withstanding the movements of spirit creatures.

But it was too early to feel at ease.

Coo! Quaaaang! Grumble!

Because the black armored earth dragon, whose movements were restricted, started going crazy! No one knows how long a tightly pulled chain will hold out!

Clap la la la rock!

Tang Do-yeon was well aware of that fact, so he quickly shot out the second chain. Because it was running wild, it couldn’t wrap itself around its body as strongly as the first chain, but with two chains in place, its movements were bound to be significantly restricted.

“Now!”

“Attack! Sura’s older brother! Sura Ssangjang!!”

With a 10-length monster writhing so violently, even if you were a supreme expert, would you dare to attack? As the situation continued, the practitioners immediately went on the offensive when the black armored earth dragon stopped moving for the first time.

The energy released by the early masters of the transcendental peak gathers into the two people who are in charge of the palms of the true method according to the techniques of diabolical power. Otter tea and a practitioner whose name I don’t know, but who was trainee number 8, each gather a huge amount of energy, equivalent to 6 servings of the supreme peak, and rush to the black armored earth dragon.

An enormous amount of qigong that could never be accumulated by a single person, regardless of realm! The ultimate powerful attack unleashed through that technique!

Wow!!

The black armored earth dragon fell with a huge impact sound. Unlike the gesture of using its entire body like a whip, this black armored earth dragon actually shows a struggle to relieve the shock.

“Oh…!”

“It worked!!”

Practitioners cheering behind them.

However, the expressions on the faces of the two monks who actually attacked were dark.

Well, I guess so.

The two people who attacked directly would be well aware of the fact that although it looked like they had hit the black armored earth dragon, it was not an attack, but just a push to knock the black armored earth dragon down.

In fact, if the Surasangjang from before had worked properly, it had enough power to take the black armored earth dragon’s breath away.

That is, if it worked properly.

“It starts now! Get your shit together! Dando-yeon Sojeo!”

“Okay!!”

Chrrr!!

‘Did you get rid of it?’ Dang Do-yeon, who was making the same expression, swung the chain again and wrapped it around the body of the black armored earth dragon. A chain that is wound tightly like the first chain.

After relieving the shock of receiving its first proper attack, the black armored earth dragon wriggled and stood up.

“We have confirmed that it cannot be defeated in its current state!”

Heukbancheonam.

It is the rock that that guy gnawed so hard, and it is also Sarah’s treatment material and a vessel for Gongcheong Oil.

Heukbancheonam has the property of preventing the intrusion of energy.

Qi communicates with all things in heaven and earth. Energy circulates and communicates regardless of the thick earth or hard rock. However, this black half-cheon rock does not accept external energy.

That’s why Jinbeop’s attack didn’t work properly.

Not only the flaming sword created by the two, but also a sword with enough power to cause serious internal injuries to that huge guy was blocked by the black half-cheonam armor he was wearing.

The effectiveness of the energy would have been completely blocked, and only the impact force of the two people’s strength strengthened with energy would have been transmitted to the earth dragon, so it would be appropriate to say that they were pushed.

As long as he is wearing his rock armor, it is impossible to defeat him with a Jinbeop attack.

That is why.

This is how we stir-fry the sugar and prepare the equipment.

Let Dang Do-yeon practice swinging the chain.

He had Yeo Il-ye practice using a harpoon.

what.

It’s a national rule that raids have gimmicks, right? It was a common raid pattern that the barrier had to be removed to inflict damage.

“So let’s execute this step! Everyone, stay alert!”

So, take off his armor.

It was the beginning of the second phase.
