"So-ryong! So-ryong!"

"Ryo!? Wake up! Why is he suddenly like this again?"

Just as So-ryong was about to fall into the campfire, his arms and neck shot forward, caught by two outstretched hands and spider silk.

Hwa-eun and Seol, on either side, grabbed So-ryong's arms, while Yo-hwa, who was behind him, shot spider silk to stop his body.

* Kishi!

Just before crashing into the fire, So-ryong was gently pulled back, and as he lay on the ground, as if he had fallen asleep, Hwa-eun and Seol quickly checked on him.

The first thing Hwa-eun checked was So-ryong's eyes.

Before So-ryong ate the white ants, Hwa-eun had checked his condition twice, unsure whether he had become unconscious due to some other reason, or whether he had been paralyzed by poison.

Thus, she quickly opened his eyelids and checked his eyes, which appeared hazy and unfocused.

If he had fainted, his sclera would have been visible, and if he had been paralyzed, his eyes should have shown some life. But So-ryong’s eyes behind his closed eyelids were clouded, as though his soul had left him.

"Why?"

"Could it be poison?"

"No, I don't think it's poison. I checked twice before he ate, and he doesn’t seem to be showing signs of poisoning now either."

Shintu, sounding anxious, asked, but Hwa-eun had already checked the white ants for poison earlier, and So-ryong himself had confirmed there was no poison. Even now, it didn’t seem like the symptoms of poisoning or paralysis.

Then, it was Seol, who had been checking So-ryong's pulse, who grabbed Hwa-eun's hand.

With a dazed look, Seol murmured the words she had heard once before.

"Beast Heart Technique..."@@novelbin@@

"Beast Heart Technique? What about it?"

The Beast Heart Technique was one of the roots of the Five Poisons Returning to the Origin Art, which So-ryong had learned, and it was connected to the Beast Palace’s inner technique.

The event when Cho, who was becoming a Heavenly Sovereign, had once caused So-ryong to fall asleep came to mind.

That time, when So-ryong had been asleep for nearly fifteen days.

* Tsrut?

* Tsuru... Tsuru...

* Thud, thud, thud.

* Poo-wak!

* Tsuru-ru.
