“What I always do?”

“Yeah.”

Eruhaben was calm. Cale felt extremely iffy about this, but that wasn’t the important thing right now.

“It is subsiding.”

The red fog was slowly subsiding as Choi Han mentioned.

He could see a bit farther now, but he still could not see the expressions on people’s faces. He could only sort of make out the location of the people.

“Cale-nim, where are you going?”

“To check.”

Cale entered the largest area at the end of the hallway.

‘Mm.’

He saw a lot of people blankly standing around on his way over, but he did not pay them any attention.

‘I don’t feel very good.’

He was still dizzy and felt as if he was suffering from motion sickness. He was not able to care about other people’s expressions nor moods right now.

Tap. Tap.

The area where the jiangshis of the Emperor’s Palace’s underground tomb were located…

Unlike the hallway, the red smoke had yet to subside here. (TL: The author used smoke here instead of fog; I will leave it in case it was on purpose.)

– Human, be careful as you walk around!

They could only see about one meter in front of them.

– Where are you going?

Cale gave a short answer to Raon’s question.

“Dragons.”

Cale lifted his head up.

Through the red fog…

He could at least see extremely tall figures compared to the others.

Tap.

Cale stopped walking.

– …Human.

Raon called out to Cale in a low voice. It was not because he wanted Cale to respond.

“…It was like this.”

Cale heard Eruhaben’s sigh-like mumbling behind him.

How would the red smoke purify the jiangshis?

Cale was curious about that, so he headed toward the Dragon jiangshi in order to check.

“Haaaa.”

Cale sighed.

Ooooo— ooooooong— oooo—

He could hear quiet rumblings.

The pebbles or bundles of light sparkling from within the red smoke…

The noise was coming from these pebbles vibrating.

– Human, they are being sucked in.

The gold light and red smoke seeped into the bodies of the jiangshi Dragons.

It was not just with the Dragons.

They seeped into the bodies of all jiangshis.

The red fog had not subsided; it had seeped into these bodies.

“They are being purified-”

He heard the ancient Dragon’s sullen voice.

Dragon corpses are left in the physical world if they died of unnatural causes.
