Chapter 75

Episode 75

“This is it!”

“This is the place.”

Using the newly acquired map, the two quickly found their way. Although it was a bit far from where the manor was, I didn’t get lost because the map was so accurate. As soon as I arrived there, what I saw was none other than a cave hidden by bushes. There was no sign of any beasts, and it was so dark inside that it seemed like there was no choice but to light a torch.

Kwon Moo-jin tore off his jacket and found a piece of wood to make a torch.

“I’ll go first, so follow me carefully.”

“yes!”

Kwon Moo-jin answered with an excited expression. Now that the hope of obtaining the golden king’s treasure has arisen, it is inevitable that my whole body will become stronger.

Since we found it together, wouldn’t you mind giving us a little bit of it?

What do you do first when you get that?

It’s a huge amount of money, so let’s try all kinds of famous liquor!

Even though I hadn’t found it yet, the joy just thinking about it didn’t go away. Meanwhile, Danwoohyun entered the cave.

The sound of their footsteps echoed throughout the area.

The deeper I went inside, the more I felt a cold chill. My body cooled down so quickly that I was so cold that I couldn’t believe I was sweating because it was so hot just a moment ago.

Let’s even go inside Il Da-kyung.

Squishy!

The ground was so muddy that it was difficult to walk.

“It’s Jinheung...”

“...Yes...”

Mud in the cave?

There are no traces of washed-up soil or anything to be seen anywhere, but the entire area is filled with mud, so much so that your feet are sinking.

Because of that, it got even colder. The bottoms are already covered in mud.

Still, the two walked in silence.

Because if you pass through this mud field, you can obtain the treasure of the Golden King Tree. Although it is difficult, doesn’t it have its own sense of accomplishment?

Compared to what can be achieved, this is nothing.

As we stepped on the mud and walked further, the mud finally disappeared and an ordinary stone path appeared.

“Phew – I don’t know why there is mud in a place like this.”

“The soil must have washed away a long time ago. As time has passed, the traces have now disappeared...”

In fact, Dan Woo-hyeon also could not hide his doubts. No matter how much time had passed, we couldn’t even find any traces of dirt when we entered the cave.

Even though I felt something strange inside, I did not stop moving forward.

The cave is deeper than I thought. The further inside you went, the narrower the interior became and the lower the ceiling became. I had to squeeze through a rock gap to get through a narrow place, and I had to sit down and crawl on the ground to get through a low place.

From the cave entrance to where they are.

It seemed like about half an hour had passed inside, but in reality, only about half an hour had passed. Because the road is so rough and twisted, both body and mind are exhausted.

“Huh... Hah... Hah Juju-kun like this... kinda...”

“Big... come here.”

Dan Woo-hyeon and Kwon Moo-jin were crawling on the floor.

The ceiling is so low that you raise your head and hit your head. The stalactites were so sharp that Kwon Moo-jin had his clothes torn and cut several times.

Of course, Dan Woo-hyeon is no different.

Because his body was implicitly protected by internal energy, it was not torn or bleeding, but his clothes were already tattered and his face was covered in dirt.

So we crawled for a while.

Whenever I saw a snake, I would get scared and hit it, roll, cut, fall, and move around for a while.

The appearance of the two people instantly became miserable.

No matter who sees it, it looks like crap now.

“Yes...”

Dan Woo-hyeon was seen taking deep breaths several times.

This is there.

Yes, that manor.

A dried up pond.

It came out through the stone built around the pond. In short, I went down and went through a lot of trouble and came back here.

“Haha...” I couldn’t express my sense of desperation and my frustration was on the verge of explosion. Oh my goodness, this is the first time I’ve seen Dan Woohyun so angry.

If Geumwangsu were here, not even a trace would be left behind.

“Lion... Lion....”

Dan Woo-hyeon kept muttering. It looks like he decided to put aside the thought of being screwed and focus on his goal.

He quietly looked at the lion statue and kicked it.

Kwaang-!

Debris flew in all directions with a loud sound. If Dan Woo-hyeon had the skills to do so, he could have been easily pulverized, but perhaps he was taking out his anger, and the kicks were quite strong.

Kwon Moo-jin looked awkwardly, sweating profusely, and then his eyes widened. A large box appeared inside the broken lion statue.

Dan Woo-hyeon was surprised and Kwon Moo-jin was also surprised.

That’s why I said something I shouldn’t have said.

“Shouldn’t you have destroyed it sooner?”

“what?”

“No....”

Snap!

Dan Woo-hyeon gritted his teeth.

When I first found the map to the cave, all I had to do was destroy the statue. This means that there was no need to live such a miserable life in the cave and then come back here.

The more I thought about it, the more annoyed I became.

This is the first time since I got angry like this.

However, perhaps because I got what I wanted, I felt my anger subside a little. You should have a lot of treasure for all the hard work you have gone through.

Otherwise, a person named Geumwangsu.

I’ll chew it to pieces and eat it.

Dan Woo-hyeon took a small breath and swung his foot.

puck! The box was struck with a short sound. With a light strike, it broke the lock without hesitation and revealed what was inside.

One moment.

The two men fell silent.

No one says anything.

I was surprised to see gold and silver treasures before my eyes.

They were so bright that they dazzled people’s eyes and were enough to turn the eyes of even the emperor of a country.

At the center was a carefully folded letter.

Dan Woohyun smiled.

Then he slowly reached out and picked up the book in the box. After opening it and reading the contents, Dan Woo-hyeon looked up at the sky.

Then I looked down at the ground and caught my breath.

I rubbed my eyes once, checked whether this was a dream or reality, and read the gold letter again.

[Boom! Next time]

Dan Woo-hyeon read it and broke the box.

The two iron coins in the box flew into the air.
