Chapitre 120: 119 Hidden Danger
It took some time for the group to come out of the dungeon. As Heero's group came out, they immediately attracted everyone's attention. The heroes were still gathered around the gate as they were discussing the commotion just now.
Mostly, they were talking about the mysterious Heero and Hirata who came out of nowhere. The most confused one was certainly Bai Xin Yue. She was wondering how did Heero reach Ence Fort this fast.
She was the one who informed Bai Shuang'er to call Sun Zhou Yi's Master, but she expected that it would take eight hours in the latest with Bai Family's private jet at that.
However, things were out of her expectation, Sun Zhou Yi's Master came in less than half an hour. She was sure about that as she always checked the time, but how? How could they reach Ence Fort so fast? This was the thing that bugged her down.
Just as she was in deep thought, she heard a commotion. Bai Xin Yue noticed the heroes around were looking at her. No, they were looking at the gate behind her.
She was curious about what these people looked at. She turned around and shock flashed on her face. Bai Xin Yue looked at her wrist, she was checking the time. Then she found out that it was only twenty-three minutes since Sun Zhou Yi's master entered the dungeon.
'Does Sun Zhou Yi's Master fail to rescue Sun Zhou Yi?' a doubt crossed her mind as she looked back at the group. Then she noticed the unconscious Musashi Naizen and Sun Zhou Yi were carried out of the gate.
She was shocked beyond belief. Well, no one can blame her since it was just too fast. She overcame his shock as she approached the group. However, soon, Bai Xin Yue cast a strange look at the Heero. No, her gaze was directed at Kang Seo-Yeon who was on Heero's back.
Just like a koala stuck onto a tree, Kang Seo-Yeon clamped the mysterious man with all fours. Moreover, she noticed Kang Seo-Yeon seemed to be so happy. Her expression was just like a maiden experiencing her first love.
'Does she fall in love with this guy? She sure has a weird fetish…' Bai Xin Yue thought. After all, the man never showed his face, only wearing a wooden mask all this time.
"Are you hurt?" She put her useless thought aside and inquired. Being carried out of the dungeon, she suspected Kang Seo-Yeon was hurt.
However, right after she asked out, Kang Seo-Yeon hopped down swiftly from the mysterious man.
"Nope, I am fine~" Kang Seo-Yeon cheerfully answered and surmised what happened in the dungeon into a simple sentence, "We also manage to save Sun Zhou Yi and Musashi Naizen,"
Bai Xin Yue looked at Kang Seo Yeon strangely. Kang Seo-Yeon was her friend, but this was the first time she saw this side of Kang Seo-Yeon. She realized that she still did not know her friend well.
'It's not us, but me alone…' Of course, Heero did not say it out as he merely nodded in confirmation to satisfy the curious Bai Xin Yue.
"What about the giant Little Dragon?" Bai Xin Yue threw another question right after that. She was truly curious and wanted to know what happened inside the dungeon. Like, how the two masked men saved Musashi Naizen and Sun Zhou Yi.
"Miss, we have two unconscious men here. Your priority should be getting them an intermediate treatment, right? You can ask about that later after making sure these two are fine, right?" Heero could not help but rebuke Bai Xin Yue.
They were bringing out the two unconscious men and instead of prioritizing the two men's situation, the young miss asked something she could ask later.
'As expected of the people of the core region, they are more concerned in their works rather than their comrades,' Heero's impression of the heroes and people from the core region worsened from this little detail.
Hearing those words from Heero, she realized her mistake. With the shock she received earlier, she forgot about Sun Zhou Yi and Musashi Naizen.
"Ahh... R..Right, please follow me," Bai Xin Yue stuttered a little. It was as if a student made a mistake and her teacher rebuked her. She did not know why, but she was quite nervous when the man with the mask spoke to her.
She lowered her head and led the group to a temporary medical center the expedition had been set up on the first day they arrived at Ence Fort.
At this time, Kang Seo-Yeon called Heero, "My Pri…" she stopped halfway. She almost called her to crush with "My Prince", but she realized her mistake as she immediately paused. Currently, her relationship with this mysterious man was stranger, calling him My Prince could disgust Heero.
'I have to impress my prince, not disgust him. I have to act elegantly before him. Men are visual creatures and I am confident in my charm. I need to show him my elegance, and then, with a little push, I will make him fall in love with me. Who does not want to have a gorgeous and elegant lady as their girlfriend!'
'For now, you have to act with restraint, Kang Seo-Yeon… act with restraint…'
"Ahem… Sir! You forget your weapons," as she took a ride on Heero's back, Kang Seo-Yeon had to carry Heero's weapons with her. She gracefully and carefully handed the five weapons to Heero.
Heero merely nodded his head as he took the weapon with him. He had a prejudice against the people from the inner region, so he did not want to associate with the people from the inner region. That was why he spoke less and did not bother to reveal his name.
Despite her crush giving her a cold shoulder, it did not discourage Kang Seo-Yeon in the slightest. She happily followed the group to Ence Fort.
Bai Xin Yue led Heero and Musashi Hirata to a room. As they entered the one called a temporary house. It was just a normal building filled with advanced medic tech.
However, Heero only asked for a normal room for Sun Zhou Yi. Sun Zhou Yi only suffered a slight injury and he already took care of it. The thing Sun Zhou Yi needed the most was a rest to recover from ki exhaustion.
What surprised Heero was, Musashi Hirata who acted differently. Instead of bringing the unconscious man in his arm to the doctor on duty, he followed him.
Bai Xin Yue did not interfere as she instructed the doctor to not intervene as well. She dismissed the doctor and led Heero to a sterilized room. As they reached the room, Heero also dismissed Bai Xin Yue. He asked her to leave them alone.
Bam!
Heero closed the door as Bai Xin Yue rooted on the spot. She opened her mouth as she wanted to ask, 'Did I offend you in any way?' but no words were coming out of her mouth. She closed her mouth, but then she opened her mouth and released a sigh of regret.
She turned around as she mulled over what she did to offend Sun Zhou Yi's Master. Why did he seem like he did not like me? This was the first time they officially talked to each other, so she was confused as to why Sun Zhou Yi's Master seemed to dislike her.
Bai Xin Yue had guessed the masked man with five weapons was Sun Zhou Yi's Master. And she guessed right, but confusion still bugged her.
"I have to know why Sun Zhou Yi's Master does not like me for the sake of my future plan, but before that, I am going to ask Seo-Yeon what happened inside the dungeon. What happened to the giant Little Dragon…"
Bai Xin Yue muttered with a wronged look. She was wronged with the sudden dislike she received from Sun Zhou Yi's Master. With confusion and resentment filling her mind, she walked out of the medical house and headed toward Kang Seo-Yeon's room.
Meanwhile, inside the sterilized room, Heero put his first disciple onto the soft bed. After that, his hand entered his space storage and took out a small container filled with blue liquid. After that, he chugged the small container into Sun Zhou Yi's mouth.
The thing he forced into Sun Zhou Yi's mouth was medicine to quicken Ki's recovery. With this medicine, Sun Zhou Yi would recover faster.
After everything was over, Heero let out a helpless sigh as his gaze landed at Sun Zhou Yi's face who had a tranquil look. He was worried about his disciple, if this continued, Sun Zhou Yi might lose his life sooner or later.
However, he also could not persuade Sun Zhou Yi to change. He saw his old self in Sun Zhou Yi. It was the time when he became a hero, he had the same passion as Sun Zhou Yi, so he could not bring himself to stop what Sun Zhou Yi wanted to do.
At this time, Musashi Hirata who has always been silent since he came out of the dungeon, spoke in a low voice, "Master, can you check my brother as well?"
Heero was surprised when he heard this and immediately turned his head toward Musashi Hirata. He looked at his disciple, then he looked at the unconscious man on the bed. Then, a peculiar expression formed behind the wooden mask.
"I remember that you hated your brother? This is your chance to cripple him and your family might have their attention change on you if your big brother is crippled. And then, you will get what you longing for."
Heero did not immediately check Musashi Naizen, but a shocking statement came out of his mouth. His words certainly shocked Musashi Hirata.
Musashi Hirata was stunned for a moment before he replied in a rather calm tone, "I don't hate him, I no longer hate him! I was jealous of him, but not anymore."
"I have found what I want and the thing I want…" Hirata stopped and pointed his finger toward his unconscious brother, "He does not have the thing I want. It was the past me that foolish and greedy, wanting to take the things that do not belong to me."
"I just wasted years of my life in vain, so now, I want to enjoy my life and do the things I want to do. I…" Just as Musashi Hirata wanted to continue, Heero stopped him.
"Alright, we will talk about that later. For now, let me check your brother," Heero tapped Musashi Hirata's shoulder twice and approached Musashi Naizen. Beneath the wooden mask, his lips formed a happy smile.

Meanwhile, Bai Xin Yue was in Kang Seo-Yeon's room. She was interrogating Kang Seo-Yeon as she wanted to know what happened inside the dungeon.
"The giant Little Dragon is dead… No, it's not a little dragon, the thing that is similar to a dragon is a Wyvern and the giant is Wyvern King!" Kang Seo-Yeon answered as she opened her luggage.
"DDDDD-Dead…? B-But how?" With a look full of doubt and shock, she asked back.
The giant… No, the Wyvern King, the giant creature that had a fearful ability that could forcefully freeze their body with a strange aura was killed easily? She just could not believe that. Moreover, the time the group entered until they came out from the dungeon, was less than thirty minutes.
Just how, how they killed the monster that fasts. Without realizing it, Bai Xin Yue was staring at Kang Seo-Yeon with her eyes almost popped out of her socket.
"Alright, stop staring at me like that. It's scary, I will tell you…" Here, Kang Seo-Yeon stopped searching for her luggage as she got closer to Bai Xin Yue. With a solemn look on her face, she started telling Bai Xin Yue, she spoke slowly to add solemnity in her words.
"He…"
"He?" Bai Xin Yue followed after Kang Seo-Yeon.
"He killed Wyvern King in two strikes… in the first strike, a hole formed in its chest… In the second strike, Wyvern King was gone…"
"But how?" Bai Xin Yue was not satisfied with the reply as she asked again.
"If I didn't see it with my own eyes, I would also not believe it, but it happened…" With an entranced look, Kang Seo-Yeon started her story, but Bai Xin Yue cut her off impatiently.
"Get to the main point!"
Still, with an entranced look, Kang Seo-Yeon continued. She told Bai Xin Yue how amazing her prince was. Meanwhile, Bai Xin Yue was listening to the story with a dumbfounded look. She had been numbed with the shock she received today. She listened to Kang Seo-Yeon with a blank look.
The fight was short and there was not much to tell in the first place. Five minutes later, Bai Xin Yue came out from Kang Seo-Yeon's room. However, there was a change in Bai Xin Yue's expression.
She was no longer surprised or shocked and she also believed Kang Seo-Yeon was telling the truth. Now, her eyes were gleaming in excitement for an unknown reason. Then, the excitement was replaced with a strong determination as she headed back toward the Medical House.
*** ***
Meanwhile, Heero and Musashi Hirata walked back to the dungeon's gate. Musashi Naizen and Sun Zhou Yi only suffered a light injury, as for why they were still unconscious, because they were exhausted. So, with a little bit of his medicine, Heero was sure the two would be fine.
Standing before the gate, Heero was in a dilemma. As far as he knew about Specter Territory, there should be another three Specter King and one Specter Emperor inside the dungeon.
Abyss Trees were rare trees and Specter treasured a territory with abyss trees more than the other territories. Usually, four Specter Kings and one Specter Emperor were placed in this territory to guard against the invasion.
He killed one Specter King, Wyvern King. Then if he guessed correctly, there were three Specter Kings and one Specter Emperor left inside. There was still a hidden danger inside the dungeon.
'Should I clear the hidden danger, or just let them be?'
