Chapter 226

Episode 225

The six days of sleeping in the open were quite difficult for Jang Sam-tae.

They had to scour the mountains to find water and hunt to make a living.

Also, because they got tired of eating only meat, they had to eat wild vegetables, and when their stomachs hurt, they had to dig.

When it rained, they had to find a place to take shelter, but there was no suitable place to do so, so they couldn’t help but feel embarrassed, so they ended up making a roof by tying together tree branches and leaves.

But what do you do with just a roof?

Since the wind was blowing in, a wall was built to block it.

It is no exaggeration to say that the place where the two of them live has now become a comfortable home as they do things one after another without thinking.

Jang Sam-tae sat on the rock with a tired expression.

His puffy, dead eyes seemed to show how much he had suffered.

‘That human...!’

Jang Sam-tae glanced around and looked at Dan-woo Hyeon. For six days, I ate Jangsamtae without lifting a finger.

Although he was much faster and better at going out hunting or setting up a place to stay than Jang Sam-tae, he was somewhat dissatisfied with not being able to do so.

Dan Woo-hyeon meditated in the lotus position every morning and never opened his eyes except when eating. They say it’s mental training, but in Jang Sam-tae’s view, it’s nothing more than an excuse because he doesn’t want to do troublesome things.

The moment he was looking at Dan Woo-hyeon with a dissatisfied gaze, his closed eyes slowly opened. For a moment, Samtae Jang was shocked.

The blue light in Dan Woo-hyeon’s eyes flickered and then disappeared.

“come.”

” yes?”

I blurted out the words before I could understand the exact situation. Jang Sam-tae, startled, turned his head. Although it was a bit far away, I felt someone coming towards this place.

As I watched the place for a while, I soon saw the man and the guards who had been hiding in various places watching the situation appear again and approach.

“Did you wait long?”

“You’re late.”

The man spoke softly and smiled.

I was just about to hear the results of surveillance of the two over the past few days and decide whether to admit them or not.

However, there was no movement and there was no sign of contact with anyone.

They were living such a ridiculous life that even the guards who were guarding them thought they were just rich idiots.

One is the owner and the other is a slave.

It seemed like that was the relationship.

“The leader is waiting. “I need to be baptized, so follow me.”

At that moment, Dan Woohyun’s eyes sparkled.

* * *

Jang Sam-tae groaned.

Since I had been covering my eyes the entire time I got into the carriage, I wasn’t sure where I was going, but it seemed certain that I had moved at least two o’clock.

Since the place he had to go to was Changbai Mountain anyway, he thought it would be a good idea to go east from Shaanxi.

There is nothing more frustrating than having to go back down the road.

Eventually, at some point, the carriage stopped.

I heard the carriage door open and a man’s voice.

“Get off.”

The moment I heard that, I casually got out of the carriage and the men removed the cloth covering my eyes.

“omg!’?”

Jang Sam-tae was not the only one who was surprised.

Dan Woo-hyeon also looked at his surroundings with quite surprise.

Although this place was in the middle of an unknown mountain, there were many buildings around it as if they were forming a village.

Of course, most of them were old buildings.

But there was something else more surprising than that.

Thousands of people were gathered together, and in front was not a shabby building, but a splendid pavilion, a platform so dignified that it was completely different from the unsophisticated platform I had seen last time, and a grand throne that looked as if only the emperor would sit on it.

The religious leader was sitting right there.

The person, who wore even more extravagant clothes than last time and looked solemn, looked alternately at Dan Woo-hyeon and Jang Sam-tae and smiled kindly.

Step by step, I followed the men and walked towards the leader. Thousands of people who appeared to be believers bowed their heads.

“Are you the one who came to me to follow Martial God?”

As soon as I stopped in front of the religious leader, I heard his voice. It is a sound that is solemn and intimidating, and contains a powerful force that seems to attract people.

Dan Woo-hyeon quietly looked at the leader.

These were people who killed their own families, committed crimes, and lived solely for the sake of martial arts and religious leaders without even a sense of guilt.

Those people...

‘I didn’t even kill them...’

Jang Sam-tae swallowed dry saliva.

Wiping away the blood that was soaked little by little, I looked around at each person.

Everyone except the cult leader was alive.

Although most of them had broken bones and serious injuries, they were breathing and seemed likely to survive with some care.

“go away.”

Soon, I heard Dan Woo-hyeon’s words.

The sound he made while looking at thousands of people was like the sound of thunder, killing everyone’s spirit.

These were words that even broke my brainwashed mind.

The believers looked at each other and quietly turned their backs.

Dan Woo-hyeon’s power is so overwhelming that it’s like heaven’s judgment.

It also felt as if the one-sided death of the religious leader they had followed so blindly had shattered the faith they had.

Jang Sam-tae stuck out his tongue.

Finally, the moment I look at Dan Woo-hyeon again.

“What... what are you doing?”

I was at a loss for words as I looked at him with a dumbfounded expression.

Dan Woo-hyeon was searching the arms of the dead religious leader. The slip that came out of my arms was in my hand, and even though it was soaked with red blood, I folded it up neatly.

“collect.”

“Why do you still turn over the body?”

“Shouldn’t we find the money? Or are you going to work and earn money?”

Jang Sam-tae shook his head.

I never wanted to do that.

As there was a long journey ahead, I had no desire to sleep out or hunt for food.

“Then you should search too.”

“Haa...”

Jang Sam-tae let out a long sigh and glanced at the guards lying face down. Some people fainted and others did not.

Those who fainted had no particular problem, but those with their eyes open raised their eyes wide the moment a hand was placed in their arms.

It was as if he was asking what this was doing.

Spread it!

“Knock!”

Jang Sam-tae closed their eyes.

He grabbed a stone that had fallen on the ground and hit it on the head.

It wasn’t enough to kill me.

Although it may feel like it’s going to break a bit and give you a headache.

“All you have to do is stay alive.” One by one, they searched the guards’ treasures and took a few pieces of silver, but it was quite different from the money that Dan Woo-hyeon had scattered.

I glanced at Dan Woo-hyeon as if observing his gaze.

I saw him making a disapproving expression.

“It’s not enough.”

“It must have been hidden somewhere.”

“Look for it.”

” yes?”

“I told you to look for it.” Jang Sam-tae was confident in that one word.

Wasn’t Dan Woo-hyeon’s intention to punish this cult leader aimed at this rather than because he had tarnished the name of God of War?

‘I thought I could collect more money.’

Since he is a religious leader who collects a lot of money from believers, Dan Woo-hyeon would have predicted that the money would come in at least tens to hundreds of times more.

Jang Sam-tae swallowed a groan as he looked at the corpse of the religious leader, which was hanging down in a hazy state.

Even if you ask the guards, there’s no way they would know where the cult leader hid the money, right?

In the end, it was none other than Jang Sam-tae who had to search this large place.

“Hey!”

It was Jang Sam-tae, who began to search every corner while swearing.
