Chapter 2 – The Twisted Journey (4)

"liar!"

It was a mistake to believe.

It was a mistake to trust people!

Contrary to what he said, the coral did not return even after quite some time had passed. I can't tell exactly what time it was, but judging by the time the sun was setting, it must have been several hours already, and the coral showed no sign of returning.

Wi Yeon-ho, who was tossing and turning in the shade of a tree, looked at the corpses with a disgusted expression.

“Okay.”

Even if there were no corpses around, Wi Yeon-ho would be able to sleep comfortably, but with a corpse he had never seen before right in front of him, he felt uneasy and uneasy, and could not sleep well.

“If it’s going to be like this, then you might as well take me with you!”

Of course, Wei Yanho also knew very well that this was nonsense.

Even if he was a pervert, if he used the magic long-range attack, he would be several times stronger than Wei Yanhu. If he went with him for no reason, he would only be a nuisance. Furthermore, Wei Yanhu’s light attack was perfect for treating him like a burden in an urgent situation.

But if you said you were coming early, shouldn't you come early?

The sun is already setting.

How dangerous it is in the mountains at night. What will we do when the sun sets?

The thought of the frail Wi Yeon-ho having to climb the mountain alone was terrifying.

“……Was there a tiger on this mountain?”

It wasn't a situation where you could be sure there weren't any. Since it was so deep in the mountains, it wouldn't have been strange if there were one or two tigers wandering around.

Besides, isn't this the perfect situation for a wild animal to pounce on?

The sun is setting, and the corpse that wild animals love is right in front of us.

Wi Yeon-ho began to feel increasingly anxious.

“What should I do?”

The best way would be to just wait for the coral to return, but unfortunately, it had already been several hours since it returned.

It was a very long time to catch and beat a pervert.

Of course, there is no way that the world's most beautiful coral would have been defeated by a pervert.

I'm not saying this because he's my older brother, but Wi San-ho was really stupid.

There would be few people in the same age group who could rival him. Even looking at the entire world of martial arts, it was impossible to imagine that there would be many people with abilities as great as Wisanho.

Sometimes, I had the illusion that Wisanho was stronger than that Wijeonghan. It was something that Wiyeonho, who was ignorant of education, could not know for sure, but it was absolutely impossible for a mere yin yang to threaten Wisanho.

“Okay.”

But at least something must have happened. Otherwise, how could he have come so late?

“Phew.”

Wi Yeon-ho got up from his seat. He had to do something. If he was lazy, he might end up being tiger food.

You have to let go of laziness when it's time to let go. There is no such thing as laziness that is more important than life.

“At least on top of a tree…….”

At that moment, a sad sound came into Wei Yanhu's ears.

Rrrrrrr!

Wi Yeon-ho looked up at the sky with a slightly stiff face.

In the distant sky, dark clouds could be seen approaching quickly. Wei Yanhu turned his head, his eyes furrowing.

Two horses and two corpses are visible.

“I’m really…… screwed.”

It was Wei Yeon-ho who was becoming increasingly sad.

Swaaaaaaah!

A heavy rain began to pour down on Wei Yanho's head.

“Ugh, how did I…….”

Wi Yeon-ho climbed the mountain, grinding his teeth.

Purururung.

“Oh, these words are really a burden!”

Wi Yeon-ho kicked the rump of the horse that was straying.

“You guys, you guys! If you’re talking, shouldn’t you be carrying people around?”

The thing that had been carrying him all this time was Wei Yanhu, who had already completely erased it from his mind. As the heavy rain began to fall, the words became nothing more than a burden.

“They say being nice is a loss!”

When it rained, the thing that worried me the most was the corpse.

If left as is, they would obviously become food for wild animals, but they couldn't be carried away either, so something had to be done. After hurriedly burying the bodies, the rain was already pouring down like crazy, and if I couldn't find a place to avoid the rain, I was sure to get a bone disease.

It would be fortunate if only he had a cold, but sleeping out in the rain on a mountain where the sun had set was extremely dangerous.

It would be a terrible thing if your body temperature suddenly drops and you die, and if you were attacked by a pack of wild animals in the dark of night, it would be a terrible thing.

We had to find a place to escape the rain as soon as possible.

There was no place to take shelter from the rain around the wide open mountain path, so Wei Yanho, who was becoming anxious, climbed the mountain to find a cave or at least a place with thick trees.

At first, they looked for a downhill slope, but as the horses kept slipping, they had no choice but to go up and up. The problem was that the horses, which were the best means of transportation on the road, became fools as soon as they entered the mountains.

The horses would often slip and fall, unable to climb even a small hill, and Wei Yanhu barely managed to climb the mountain by carrying the horses on his back.

And he did so while pulling two horses, including the Coral Reef.

“Oh, I can’t just leave these behind!”

No human in his right mind would ever think of riding a horse up a mountain.

Of course, Wei Yanho also wanted to leave the words alone at first.

But when I saw the horses standing still in the pouring rain, I felt sorry for them and couldn't just leave them there.

“I’m an idiot!”

Wi Yeon-ho kept grumbling while pushing the horse's rump.

“Get up! Get up! What did you eat to make you so heavy!”

Purururung.

The horse made a bold move, but there was no way it could withstand the force pushing from behind.

Heeeeeeeeeing!

The horse, which had slipped several times, kicked back violently in resistance.

Phew!

Wi Yeon-ho, who was hit by the horse's hind leg, screamed and rolled around.

“Ahhhh!”

After rolling down a steep slope, it is unlikely to stop easily.

Wei Yanhu rolled for a long time before finally stopping after crashing into a cliff at the bottom of the slope.

“Ugh… Oh my, my back. That damn little brat!”

The owner is going through all this trouble not to leave him behind, and instead of being grateful, he kicks the person!

Wi Yeon-ho, who had decided to turn that little brat into horse meat, slipped on the floor again.

I put my hand on it and it sank into the floor.

"huh?"

Wi Yeon-ho quietly looked at the place he had touched.

From the outside it looked like just a pile of fallen leaves and branches, but there was nothing on the ground.

Wi Yeon-ho cleared away the fallen leaves around him.

Then a large hole was revealed, running through the floor and wall.

It was a large cavern large enough for several men to pass through with ease.

Wi Yeon-ho stuck his head into the cave.

It was nice to find a cave, but if there was a bear hiding in there, it could have been an unintentional life-threatening situation.

“Isn’t there any?”

Fortunately, no other noise was felt inside the cave.

Wi Yeon-ho climbed up the steep path, got off his horse, and went into the cave.

The inside of the cave was much larger than I thought.

Although it was not very deep, the circular opening was much larger than that of an average pavilion.

Luckily, I found a place to shelter from the rain.

Purrrrrr.

The calves slowly approached Wiyeonho, whether they knew or not that they had found a place to avoid the rain.

“Oh, I can’t hit this.”

The horse that had kicked its hind legs looked at Wi Yeon-ho with clear eyes.

I'd like to kick his ass, but it's true that I came here because of him. There's one merit and one fault, so I have no choice but to offset them.

Wei Yanhu led the horses into the cave. It didn’t matter where they went as long as they could avoid the rain.

“Okay.”

Wi Yeon-ho, who had roughly tied up his horses, took off his clothes. They were already soaking wet and covered in mud.

You'll catch a cold wearing something like this.

Wi Yeon-ho unpacked his bundle to find clothes to change into, but his bundle was also soaking wet.

“Okay, let’s see. In this case, I told you to find some dry branches and make a fire……”

But where can you go to find a dry branch in this pouring rain?

“Ah, I’d rather die than be sick.”

Originally, knowledge, no matter how plausible, was of no use when the situation arose.

Moreover, Wi Yeon-ho was a man who gave up quickly.

Wi Yeon-ho tied his horse roughly to a rock protruding from the ground, sat down, and took out a piece of beef jerky. He could only let out a pitiful sigh as he chewed on the beef jerky that had become soaked in water and had a fishy taste.

“What the heck is this… This is why they say leaving home is hard.”

And the fact that he didn't leave that house because he wanted to made Wi Yeon-ho feel even sadder.

The raindrops grew heavier, and leaving the cave became increasingly difficult.

“……There’s nothing I can do.”

It seemed like I would have to stay here for a few days without being able to move.

In the meantime, there was nothing Wei Yanhu could do other than hope that Wei Shanhu would return.

Wi Yeon-ho left a simple sign at the entrance to the cave.

If it were my brother, he would be able to find where I am just by looking at my footprints and this mark.

Wi Yeon-ho took out a quilt from his bundle and roughly squeezed out the moisture.

Then I laid down on a blanket spread on the floor.

“I don’t know anymore! I’ll be fine!”

Wi Yeon-ho frowned as he felt a cool chill behind his back.

But there wasn't really any way to dry the mop.

It's annoying, but what can I do?

Wi Yeon-ho was a man who knew how to be content with the circumstances he was given.

Wi Yeon-ho slowly fell into sleep.

The fatigue from not being able to rest for several days came rushing at me all at once.

Wi Yeon-ho slept as if he were dead.

A day passed, two days passed, but Wei Yanhu showed no sign of getting up.

'How much time has passed?'

Outside the cave, it was still raining.

And the words that had been tied up when I first went to sleep were nowhere to be seen.

'That's why the beast is… … .'

I brought it here with me through all the trouble to give it shelter from the rain, but it couldn't stand it and ran away…

That's why they call it a beast.

Of course, Wei Yanhu never thought that he had not been given anything to drink, let alone eat, for two days.

Wi Yeon-ho closed his eyes again.

Anyway, he couldn't move until the rain stopped. So it was better to sleep a little longer during that time. Wei Yanhu fell asleep again.

Another day passed like that.

Now, only the low sound of Wei Yanhu's breathing could be heard inside the cave.

Then, something strange happened.

Wi Yeon-ho's body slowly began to rise from the ground.

It was truly a bizarre incident.

Wei Yanhu was still asleep, but his body slowly rose from the ground along with the luggage scattered around him. Then he slowly began to fly through the air and head towards the cave wall.

Ssssssssut.

Wei Yanhu's body, which had reached the cave wall, continued to run without slowing down.

But strangely enough, it passed right through the cave wall. Only traces of its stay remained in the cave, and Wei Yanhu’s figure completely disappeared.

As if in an illusion, Wei Yanhu disappeared as if he had never been there in the first place.
