Chapter 1071
After discovering the red cloth fragment, the conversation among the tigers slowed down, and the talk became sparse.
Throughout the journey, the tigers hardly spoke, making it difficult for me, who had borrowed Baek Ho-gun's appearance, to urge them to receive treatment.
‘They must find it hard to speak right now.’
At least when facing Okto-yun, the tigers did speak, but once the To tribe confirmed that there were no issues in this area, they quietly withdrew.
Okto-yun glanced at the red cloth fragment but said nothing.
Eun Ho must have asked Okto-yun to observe the surroundings using the Moon Palace system, but without requesting intervention.
The To tribe’s inability to handle those targeting Huang Jiho with force was something I didn’t even need to see to understand.
Eun Ho’s request for intervention from the To tribe likely came after he had calculated that the underground situation was under control, and the Hojo and To tribes could meet on the surface.
‘The Beast of Sorrow only learned of this situation after Jeokho was injured and then acted. Okto-yun likely informed Eun Ho after discovering the Beast of Sorrow using the Moon Palace system.’
Huang Jiho was able to move his clones after leaving a certain distance from the Rose Garden.
It wasn’t easy to suddenly move a clone that had been inactive, so his subordinate was caught, slowing Huang Jiho’s movement, and he fell silent.
When Jeokho and Hwangho stopped speaking, the place grew eerily quiet.
Cheongho, who seemed to have a lot on his mind, didn’t speak first, nor did Gongcheonghyeon, who silently observed the tigers, while Baek Ho-gun, as usual, kept his mouth shut.
The white tiger merely raised the corner of its mouth slightly when it looked at me, who had the same appearance as itself.
‘Does that tiger find it funny to see someone who looks just like it, even in this atmosphere? It must be amusing.’
During the travel, the tigers had hidden their appearances due to Jeokho’s camouflage, but just in case, I had borrowed Baek Ho-gun’s appearance for my own safety.
I didn’t think there was another trick hidden up my sleeve today, but if something happened and the camouflage was lifted, my appearance in the white tiger’s clothes would be exposed, so I decided to be cautious.
The trip to Eungwang-gu didn’t take long, but the constant tension made it feel longer than it was.
Finally, we arrived at the tiger mansion grounds.
‘In the end, the injured tigers made it here without any treatment. Calling Ri Wei or Yoo Sang-hee now would attract attention, so at the very least, it’s better to prepare for treatment as soon as the sun rises, right? And while that clumsy, strong mythical Hojo can still use his powers...’
What do you think?
