After lighting the fire with the torch we had prepared, we entered the cave. The cave itself was over before I could take a few steps.

“Hmm. It’s Bidong…is this the entrance?”

“Yes. Now that I know it, it looks a bit suspicious, doesn’t it?”

“That’s definitely true.”

If there is a flat asbestos the size of a full-length mirror in the deepest part of the cave, it will look suspicious. The black cat was also groping the asbestos here and there with a curious gesture.

“Mmm. I tried hitting it but there was no response…Is it okay if I try to solve this?”

“Okay.”

I nodded and stepped back.

The reason why I chose this place and brought the black cat. That was because this bidong had a very appropriate shape to stimulate curiosity.

In order to go hunting for black cats and fish in the future, it was necessary to instill anticipation for the event.

The black cat fumbled around looking for its engine system. Or I tried pounding on the wall or injecting energy for a while, but in the end, I just tilted my head and backed away.

“Mmm. I don’t know.”

“Well, it’s simple.”

I understand that Black Cat couldn’t open its doors. A rectangular piece of asbestos that is as flat as a mirror. And the end is rounded. A shape reminiscent of an item that modern people cannot live without for a day.

Since black cats are not modern people, looking at this shape will not remind you of that object.

I lightly touched the wall and extended my hand to the side.

Rumbling.

How to open a non-consensual doorway.

It is [Slide to unlock].

“Ho, senior. It looks like senior Ho knows something about this Bi-dong?”

“I haven’t been here either. I just saw what was left about this bidong.”

While answering the black cat’s questions, I heightened the tension. This [Hyeoncheonjabidong] was a regular customer who visited countless times during the gaming days. But in reality for the first time. Of course, it was right to raise the tension.

“After.”

Fortunately, a familiar stone slab greeted me.

[Yeonja! I am an old man called Hyeoncheonja! I have had a talent for making things since I was young. I tried to make various things with the money I earned by selling my skills in making organs and food, but I only made things and could not find their owners, so I would like to test your abilities and make things.]

[I want to test your martial arts skills and wisdom, so a courageous practitioner will pass the test from the first to the third crown and obtain an item worthy of being an expert!]

[However, those who do not pass this test of the wise emperor will not be able to set foot in this secret place again.]

“Oh, that last phrase is a little scary. Does this mean that it is a murderous planthopper?”

In reality, they just get kicked out and that’s the end. I just can’t open the secret door again. If you forcefully try to break down the door to the secret cave, the entrance to the natural cave will collapse, poisonous smoke will be released inside the cave, and you will die.

The black cat’s voice was slightly raised, indicating that he was a little excited by the phrase left by Hyeoncheonja.

“Senior, do you know about a person named Hyeon Cheonja?”

“How much do you know about this Bidong and how much have you heard of it?”

This Hyeonjeon’s non-dong is a type of Giyeon where the process of discovering the non-dong itself is difficult rather than the non-dong itself. He reaches this point by following various traces and getting caught up in various incidents, and in the process, the story of Hyeoncheonja is mentioned a few times.

“Hyeoncheonja is a person passed down in myths and tales. It is said that he created the imperial palace’s organs, and it is said that even immortals suffered through the battle methods he developed, so it can be said that his talent was truly heavenly. There is also a theory that the heavenly world gave him precious materials to make various Gijinibo.”

“Really?”

“I wonder if this person is really Hyeoncheonja or just someone impersonating Hyeoncheonja.”

Scream boom!

As soon as I entered the pavilion, the door was locked tightly. The sound was so loud that even I, who knew it, was surprised, and the black cat was also startled and lowered its posture.

I carefully lifted the torch and found the stone monument.

“There is a stone monument here too.”

[Yeoja, you only have three chances to challenge each gate.]

[Standing on the platform does not allow attacks while the Asura statue is attacking, and you can pass the gate by hitting the statue’s marked spot ten times.]

[If you attack Asura’s weapon from the front, it is designed to reveal a gap, so the speaker should keep this in mind.]

[Also, if you do not step away from the platform even after being hit, the statue’s attacks will be very strong, so do not be stubborn.]

“Hmm.”

As the black cat approached the Asura statue, the statue’s six arms moved once.

Shhh!

A speed that makes it look pale to my eyes.

The black cat remembered the speed and nodded.

As soon as the black cat stepped on the step, Asura’s arm moved. The black cat let go of the diagonal attack once.

I paused for a moment because my other arm didn’t want to move. The black cat immediately stretched out its sword at the stone statue.

One of Asura’s ten eyes lit up.

Then, the two strikes and three strikes immediately fall.

Tap, tap!

The black cat blocked the blow and parried the third blow. Then the second arm, which had been unnaturally bent, slowly returned to its original position.

“Wow, that’s the way it is!”

Pow!

The black cat, which received a direct hit from a gunshot, struck the Asura statue. Two of the ten eyes on the Asura statue lit up.

When seven lights came into the stone statue’s eyes, six arms were attacking the entire body of the black cat in unison.

Ride, ride, ride!

“sum!”

As if it wasn’t so easy after six, the black cat that was just blocking the attack finally attacked. Perhaps reading the statue’s beat, the black cat stretched out its hand without hesitation and struck down all six weapons.

Eight eyes lit up.

The black cat’s body stumbled as the speed increased even further. Perhaps deciding that it wouldn’t work, Jangyoung appeared from Black Cat’s hand. As Jang Young blocked one or two of the attacks, Asura’s arms began to bend one by one. The recovery speed of the arm was also reduced by about half, but there was no need to fully extend the arm in the first place.

As soon as three of his arms were stretched out, the black cat used his long spirit to block the attacks of the other two hands and hit Asura with his remaining hand.

Clap la la rock!

And at that moment, all of Asura’s arms that had been stretched out came together.

“No, shamelessly!”

Apart from the black cat’s embarrassed voice, six arms were covering the point of impact. Six arms took turns guarding the striking point, and the remaining five arms attacked at the same speed as before.

“Black cat! Next, the person whose turn it is to cover must extend their arm to reveal a gap!”

Sissik!

Crash!

Even though one arm was sealed as a defense, the black cat’s hand did not relax at all. Now, if you strike accurately, the extended arm will return with only a brief gap.

“sum!”

The black cat took the lead.

He blocked the attack from both hands with his spear and blocked the attack from both his hands with his double sword. The fifth hand goes down to cover the hit point, and the fourth hand moves away from the hit point and attacks as is.

At the same time, the black cat twisted its body for the first time to avoid the fourth hand’s attack.

My feet were stretched out.

It was the black cat’s knee that struck away the fifth hand that was moving to cover the vital spot. The fifth hand bounces away, but the attacks from the two hands that were already blocked by Jang Young come in!

It was obvious that the statue’s arm would touch it first before attacking it.

This is an opportunity I barely found, so should I miss it?

When those thoughts and regrets pass through your head.

The black cat’s knees stretched out.

puck!

The black cat’s last move was a kick. A combined attack of kicks from the knee.

The attacks of the Asura statue that continued like crazy stopped in place.

“Phew…”

“…good job.”

I gave a thumbs up towards the black cat. Since I’ve never seen the black cat use a leg technique, I thought the knee kick at the end was just an improvisation, and I was quite immersed in it because I never expected that it would lead to a kick from that stance.

Judging from the fact that he didn’t use his strength even when he was in a hurry, he definitely wasn’t at his peak.

“It wasn’t an easy opponent.”

The black cat tapped the statue’s arm, but unlike before, Asura’s arm did not move.

Coo coo coo coo!

The road to this coffin began to open, making as loud a noise as before.

“Indeed, he was an institution doll worthy of calling himself a wise man. There will be things like this at the next gateway, right? Hehe, I’m really looking forward to it.”

Yes, there are a lot of interesting things in Hyeoncheonja’s Bi-dong.

[Congratulations on passing the first hurdle.]

[If the first gate tested the Yeonja’s martial arts skills, the second gate will test the Yeonja’s brain.]

[Yeonja, do you see the wooden boards stuck on the floor? It contains twenty bombs. If you confirm the locations of all twenty bombs without exploding a single bomb, you will pass.]

[Remember that all work must be completed before the Asura statue’s weapon touches the ground.]

[If you open the wooden board, there will be a board with numbers written on it. It refers to the number of bombs located in all directions.]

[You will be able to confirm the location of the bomb by linking the numbers that opened the wooden board, so think about it!]

“Hmm…what does this mean?”

“So…”

It was a call to minesweeper.
