Episode 634 Papa Pad!
Neither the Beast Cat King nor the White Tiger slowed down their steps. I squinted my eyes at the chilling wind passing through my body.
‘That’s Mt. Aenye.’ The rugged mountains and deep valleys are recognizable from a distance. Numerous peaks shrouded in mist are high enough to pierce the sky.
Could it be because of the darkness of dawn that has not yet gone? Or is it because it was the old home of Oh Dok-mun, who was said to have terrorized barbarians in the distant past? The rapidly approaching view of Mt. Aenye felt dark and ominous.
Perhaps it was for that reason. The reason why the voice of the beast cat king that followed was deeply sinking.
“Odokmun was destroyed by the main palace, but that didn’t mean everything disappeared.”
If there are objects left in the place where the person disappeared, it is enough to coolly burn them. But if the object had feet, the story was different.
“At the time, nobody knew. That unknown things left by Oh Dok-mun live in the deepest part of Mt.
over a hundred years.
The dark legacy left by Oh Dok-moon has permeated deep into the mountains of Aeneo. They preyed on each other in their own territory, where no one could invade, and on the other hand, reproduced and gradually increased in size.
“But eventually the ancestors found out. In a way no one expected.”
It was said that three hundred elite barbarian warriors were melted into a handful of blood, and that two chieftains and dozens of tribal chiefs were torn limb from limb.
That was what happened at a tribal conference held in Mount Aenoi exactly on the 100th anniversary of the destruction of Wudokmen by the Nanmanyashu Palace.
“According to the records, it was not only strangers who attacked the main palace, but rare poisons and monstrous beasts in the world.”
Hundreds of wild beasts with claws and teeth stronger than steel, and extremely venom that cannot be deciphered.
Nanmanyashu Palace suffered severe damage from an unexpected raid, and was shocked. He shuddered when he found the shadow of Oh Dok-moon, whom he thought had disappeared a long time ago.
“Once again, the whole of Nanman gathered their strength. I tried to mobilize all the warriors of each tribe to surround Mt. Aeneo and kill them.”
However, Nanmanyasugung’s attempt was only half successful. Hundreds of beasts were killed and poisons were burned, but the damage was too great. And in the process, invisible cracks appeared little by little.
‘If I think about it, I have no choice but to do that.’ Even if you simply order a pizza and share it, someone has no choice but to eat one more topping and someone less.
The operation to subjugate Mt.
Sensing danger, poisonous water and beasts appeared everywhere and attacked as if possessed by Hong Gil-dong, and the tribal chiefs leading the warriors feared their losses.
It was impossible to offer N-bread saying, “Let’s kill only a few people from each tribe,” because of his stupid words.
,,The tribe was divided day by day. The fire that was chosen as a last resort only spread to the outside and caused more damage, but it was not enough to burn the entire mountain.”
That’s how Nammanyasugung had to retreat from Mount Aenye. Of course, that did not mean that he resigned without any income.
“The palace has obviously suffered extreme damage, but the threat has diminished as well. Since we hunted countless poisonous animals and wild beasts, and burned at least a part of Mount Aeneo, it was probably a natural result.”
“Then what happened after that?”
“Mt. The entire mountain was banned, and three hundred elite warriors from each tribe were permanently stationed on Mt. In that way, we have maintained peace for the past hundred years or so.”
It is a wise compromise for the tribal chiefs belonging to the Nammanyasugung Palace who can avoid great losses and prepare for the threat of Mt.
But the problem is…
“Somehow, it seems that this peace will be the last as of today.” I pointed forward with a heavy muttering, and at the end of the direction my finger was pointing, there was a dark and steep valley like the entrance to hell and a young man sitting leaning against a tree.
Shh shh!
Beast Tomb King’s new brother, rising straight like a ray of light, crossed the air and landed at the entrance of the valley. I followed him closely, but when I got off the back of the white tiger, the face of the Beast Myowang standing tall in front of the human figure was as hard as a stone statue.
“… … late. He’s already dead.” I nodded quietly. If you hadn’t listened to him, you would have known right away. Before he had even taken a few steps forward, an indescribable stench stung his nose. And there was only one cause of death that could cause such a terrible smell.
‘poison. It’s poison.’
It’s also a huge overkill. In-young leaning against a tree and bowing her head… … .
No, the surrounding ground and grass were charred by the stench and blood that flowed from the corpse.
If you are a Murim person who has not learned Yeolyangjigi, which is based on fire, which is compatible with poison, it seems that even a master at the peak cannot easily overcome poison within a radius of three chapters.
– Kreureung.
I opened my mouth while reading the white tiger furrowed.
“Is this a familiar face?”
“For some reason, I feel familiar. He must have been one of the warriors stationed at Ae Noi Mountain.”
“Do you usually put a sentry at the entrance?”
“That can’t be the case. In order to prepare for an emergency in Mt. Aenoe, it would take a person’s hand. Because the area occupied by the mountain is so wide, there are three or four villages nearby, but they are well aware of this fact.”
In short, it meant that there was no need for another sentry because it was a strictly controlled area for a long time. And that means… … .
‘This man came down from the mountain. while running away from something.’ I raised my head and looked around.
Beyond the thick darkness, a vague but clear trace remained. Even at a glance, it is clearly a human footprint. There is no sign of a beast or any poison. and one more.
“There are scars. Look at the side of the corpse. As the beast king said, the clothes on the side of the corpse were torn as if something had been scratched, and her skin was stained black.
“First of all, it is not a weapon. It looks like it was simply rubbed against something rough and strong… … :
“That’s why poison is scary. Even a slight wound can lead to death in an instant.”
It’s only a little scratched, but that’s about it. Does it mean that it will be the intangible poison that Jeokcheongang suffered in the past?
I removed my eyes from the corpse and stared at the dark valley. I didn’t see it myself, but a scene seemed to pass through my mind.
Perhaps that nameless dead man was desperately running through this steep valley just a moment ago. In a state of extreme poison, he must have met his death under that tree while stumbling, staggering, and running in a panic.
It’s unfortunate, but to me now, the identity of what led to the death of the author was more important.
‘Is it Amcheon, or is it the poison of Mt. Aenye, or is it… … Is it the poison of Mt. Aenye being manipulated by Amcheon?
With still unresolved questions, I looked at the Beast Cat King.
“I guess there is only one answer after all.” “okay.” The Beast Cat King continued with a roaring voice like an enraged beast.
“I’ll have to see with my own eyes to see who’s doing it.”

– Investigate Mt. Aeneo within the time limit (unfinished).
– Remaining time: 1 hour 24 minutes 32 seconds * * * Even though it should have been a dusky dawn, Mt. Aenoe was still immersed in thick darkness. No, it wasn’t just darkness that existed here.
‘The scent of blood.’
The bloody smell that I had become accustomed to at some point was an invisible guide. Following the footprints left by the deceased, the Beast King and I, who were running through the mountains, turned without hesitation in pursuit of the scent of blood carried by the damp wind.
And finally found it.
Numerous corpses that had fallen all over the mountain ridge, and the peculiar stench of poison that covered even the thick scent of blood.
how much would that number be? one hundred people? Or more?
The ominous predictions I had when I first encountered the corpses in the valley had turned into reality. At the horrific scene unfolding before his eyes, flames soared in the Beast Cat King’s eyes.
“What kind of guy dares to rip and kill… … !” It was a natural reaction for him as the owner of the South Bay Palace. However, instead of being angry with him, I calmly raised my gong power as much as possible and blocked any sound that might leak out with the air curtain, and at the same time removed the corpse. I looked closely.
‘Fracture. bruise. cut. Addicted.’ Unlike the first time, the causes of death of those who fell here were various other than poisoning. Some of them lost their limbs and died, and many others had their necks and other parts of their bodies ripped off by an unknown force.

‘If they’re elite enough to be stationed in Mount Aeneo, they’re definitely quite skilled.’ How could such people suffer so miserably?
According to what we have figured out so far, only a few characters, including Beast Myowang and Baeksang, are exceptional, and most Namman warriors are of a lower level than Jungwon. However, even taking that into consideration, if you are an elite warrior, you are at least first-class to first-class. Or, they are rare, top-notch masters.
‘Besides, barbaric warriors do not fight alone. If you think about the wild beasts that accompany them, they must be on par with the prestigious midfielders… … : As I was continuing my thoughts, I stopped at a sudden sense of incongruity. And the moment he saw Baekho, who let out a low cry and was wary of his surroundings, he realized the identity of his sense of incongruity.
‘Where did the beasts of prey go?’ I can’t see the beasts of prey that always stick together like a warrior. Even if you look around hastily. At first glance, there were only three or four carcasses of beasts that could be seen among more than a hundred corpses.
“Why the hell?”
The moment when the question in my heart was thrown out of my mouth.
Sua.
u ? n A creepy aura that penetrates like an awl transmitted through the wind.
I, who was confused, and the Beast Tomb King, who was barely calming his boiling anger, turned their heads like lightning.
could be seen at the same time. could hear
Passeuk.
Far away, the grass swaying finely, the darkness shimmering like something alive, and… … .
– Kruck.
In a world that had slowed down, the darkness moved as it trampled the grass. It was bigger than any beast I had ever seen before, and its blue-white eyes were filled with anger and dignity that could not be hidden.
‘Black Tiger.’
The moment Baekho’s body trembled with a single word that flashed through his mind like lightning.
Kwaaaaaang!
At the same time as the roar that pierced the darkness and resounded the heavens and earth, the familiar sound of a bell pierced my ears.
