Worthless Regression Chapter 157

————————————==

After learning that a barrier was spread throughout this forest, Lee Seong-min and Gwangcheonma had no choice but to become cautious in their actions. It is impossible to move forward by smashing a tree, and it is also impossible to jump to the top of a tree. Schedule just in case

I tried to find my way by jumping through the tall branches, but the power of the barrier that tangled my senses was acting on the entire forest.

[It is impossible to maintain this level of barrier with the user’s own power.]

Heoju declared him.

[There is no one who can do that. There are many people who can destroy the entire forest, but it is absolutely impossible to tangle the space like this.]

“What if the other person is not human?”

[The same is true even if you are a foreign shaman who lives for a long time. No, it’s possible. But even though it’s sturdy, it’s still too sturdy. I can’t help but think that the caster drew on the power of the land itself to form a barrier.]

The direction changed. Seongmin Lee thought that it would be better to learn about the Forest of Deception first, rather than finding a way through it right away. The person I was connected to through Naver was a shaman I had seen before. He was the shaman who asked to lift the curse on Wiji Hoyeon, but was told that it was impossible.

“See you again.”

The shaman with a matted beard smiled at Lee Seong-min, showing his yellow teeth. Seongmin Lee asked a question out of suspicion.

“I want to ask you about the Forest of Deception, why are you a shaman?”

“You really don’t seem to know anything. “The ones who truly know about the Forest of Deception are the shamans, not the information sellers.”

The shaman grinned and pulled his twisted beard with his fingers.

“This is the forest where the great monster Heoju was based 400 years ago, and when Heoju died, the fear of losing the owner dwelled in the forest.”

[…] hmm.]

Heoju let out a small moan at those words.

“For 400 years, the forest has transformed into a forest that spreads fear to everyone, matching the fear it has received. The fear most beings have of the forest. Once you go in, you can’t get out, and you don’t know what will pop out… Things like that.”

[Now I understand.]

Heoju muttered as he listened to the shaman’s words.

[The fear left behind by this old man transformed the forest. For some reason, I felt like my spirit power was boiling over. I never thought it would be like this.]

‘You didn’t know either?’

[This is what happened after this old man lost his body. Even if the real owner of that fear was this old man, there was no way he would know.]

“Other monsters crawled into the forest that had become magical on its own. This is an attractive place for youkai. Just by being here, you can become an offering of fear. That’s why information sellers don’t know much about the Enchanted Forest. “There are not many people who come here and survive.”

The shaman chuckled. He looked at Lee Seong-min and said.

“Let me give you some advice: Don’t stay here too long. I’m glad it’s not night yet. When night falls… It’s going to be difficult. You know that the night in the forest is dark, right? You never know when or what will pop out of there. If that fear continues… People go crazy. I’m going crazy from fear. What happens after that? I will lose my mind and become something neither a monster nor a human, wandering through the forest and dying. Or become a meal for a monster.”

“… “Do you know about the monsters in this forest?”

“Do you know a monster called Red Ghost?”

It was a name I had heard of before. Lee Seong-min was conscious of Heo Ju, who was connected to him in spirit. Heoju muttered in a surprised voice.

[Red ears? Red Ghost is the king of monsters in Predator, right?]

“Are you saying the Red Ghost is here?”

“Originally, Jeokgwi was the king of monsters who reigned over Eoreumuri. But a few years ago, he lost a fight in his group and disappeared. And now they say it’s here, in the Forest of Deception.”

[The Red Ghost was defeated?]

Heo Joo’s voice grew louder.

[No way. Even 400 years ago, he was a man with great strength, although not as much as this old man. Who on earth defeated the Red Ghost?]

“… “Who defeated the Red Ghost?”

“The one currently ruling the group is a fox with nine tails. “I don’t know if it’s her real name or not, but the youkai in the Er group call that fox Yana (夜娜).”

[nine tailed fox… It’s a tricky youkai.]

A fox that has lived for a long time and possessed a magical spirit grows its tail one by one, and when it reaches nine tails, it transforms into a nine-tailed fox with enormous magical power.

“Red spirits are not the only ones here. There are also monsters here that are famous in the south. But the most dangerous thing is not the Red Ghost. “There is an immortal monster in this forest.”

“What is that again?”

“Literally. It’s an immortal monster. An immortal monster born in the forest. I don’t know its name or what it looks like, but I’m sure it lives in that forest. That’s all I know about that forest. “Other shamans probably don’t know anything else about this story.”

The shaman chuckled as he said that.

“Again, be careful at night. Or leave the forest. “It’s probably not too late.”

The connection with the shaman was lost. Lee Seong-min closed his mouth. He couldn’t blame Heo Ju. Heoju probably didn’t know that this forest had become like this.

[What should we do?]

Heoju asked. Continuing to advance through the forest is dangerous in many ways. Not only do I have to cross the magical forest of delusion, but I also worry about the red ghosts and immortal monsters that exist in this forest. My honest feeling was that I didn’t want to get involved if I could avoid it.

‘Your treasures. ‘Is it worth taking on this risk?’

[of course.]

Heoju answered with a confident voice.

[The treasure this old man has collected is not money. If you take it, it will be of great help to you in your future life in some way.]

What we had to worry about here was Seongmin Lee. Currently, there are three things Lee Seong-min has to do in the south. Visit the southern tribe and learn how to control magical powers, and go to the forest of the beginning where Gwon Jon is hiding. Among them, what Seong-min Lee wanted to do most was to kill King Gwon and end Wijihoyeon’s curse, but since he had already come this far, it would not be a bad idea to take Heoju’s treasure first.

‘There was always danger.’

If the reward is clear, it’s worth giving it a try, even if it’s risky. Seongmin Lee stood up. Still, he learned many things. In this forest, there is a red spirit who used to be the king of monsters in the Predator, and there is an immortal monster. And this forest is none other than the result of being mutated due to the fear left behind by Heoju.

‘You can’t come this far and go back. So, yes? ‘Where is the treasure?’

[If the shape of the forest has not completely changed, there will be a mansion where the old man lived in the center of the forest.]

‘400 years have passed, will the mansion still be there? Also, someone else might have stolen your treasure too. You may have heard that there are various monsters in this forest?’

[no. That doesn’t happen. The mansion may have disappeared, but you can get the treasure if you go to that location. It is also impossible for someone else to steal the treasure.]

Since Heo Joo said that, I had no choice but to believe it. Seongmin Lee decided to break through the forest. Although the shaman gave him advice, he was not faced with a situation in this forest where he could not do anything right now.

[I said I was crazy with fear. You and that idiot are lucky.]

The idiot Heoju called was Gwangcheonma.

[You two are imbued with this old man’s magical power. Like it or not, we are already at the border between humans and monsters. Even if you feel fear in this forest, you will not go crazy.]

Heo Joo was especially confident in Lee Seong-min. Lee Seong-min’s mental power is so powerful that he cannot be considered human. Even if those who are weak-hearted cannot overcome fear and go crazy, the magical power of this forest can even break the spirit of a martial arts expert. Lee Seong-min will not go crazy.

[The pursuers who followed you will experience misfortune.]

Heoju burst out laughing. Up to that point, Lee Seong-min couldn’t care less. For a moment, I thought of Namgoong Hee-won. Even though our relationship wasn’t very long, she was the person she called her older brother.

‘I can’t help it.’

Namgoong Hee-won came here to kill Lee Seong-min. Lee Seong-min put aside his thoughts about Namgoong Hee-won. This was because she was in no position to care about other people’s safety.

And night came.

Although there was a risk that Guichang would find out, because Aladur shouted so loudly, Zhuge Liang had no choice but to light a large fire. A large fire lights up the darkness of the forest. People gathered around several lit embers and sat down. Since there were about 50 people, the fire was bound to be big.

It’s still before I fall asleep. Each person took out food and drinks from the subspace pocket. Zhuge Taeryeong was glaring at Aladur with one disapproving eye. She knew that Zhuge Liang didn’t think well of her, so Alladur was sitting far away from him and stuffing her food into her mouth.

“It’s not that big of a deal considering it scared me.”

Dang Ah-hee, who was sitting near Zhuge Tairyeong, said with a smile. It was as he said. Although it was difficult to get my bearings and I was wandering, this forest did not feel as dangerous as Aladur had said. Although I have encountered animals and such, I have not yet encountered a monster. Actually, it didn’t matter if we ran into each other. No matter how powerful the Great Yokai appears, fifty martial arts experts will be able to hunt it without difficulty.

“These are just words I shouted out of fear. “It’s not worth worrying about.”

“But it’s true that it’s annoying, right? It’s hard to get direction. “I’ve already been lost several times.”

“There’s nothing we can do about it. This forest is under the influence of an ominous barrier. “If I had known this would happen, I would have come with my uncle.”

Zhuge Liang frowned and grumbled. Zhuge Sega is not only skilled in martial arts but also in fighting techniques. In particular, Prince Zhuge Li, the uncle of Zhuge Liang, was a great man who was more skilled in martial arts than martial arts.

“It’s too late now, right? More than that, my brother. This reminds me of the old days. Do you remember? When I was young… ”

Dang Ah-hee chatters away with a bright smile that is unusual for her. Jegal Taeryeong also answered Dang Ah-hee’s words with a thin smile. Mo Yong Seo-jin, who was sitting near Zhuge Tai-ryeong, silently looked into the bonfire. Even though they were a couple, there was already no affection between them, and in the current situation, that was becoming even more evident. But she couldn’t show it. Mo Yong Seo-jin sighed and stood up.

“Where?”

Namgung Hui-won, who was sitting with his sword across from him, saw Mo Yong Seo-jin. Zhuge Taeryeong and Dang Ah-hee also stopped their conversation and saw Mo Yong Seo-jin standing up. As attention was focused, Mo Yong Seo-jin let out a short cough and turned his face to the side.

“… “In the bathroom.”

“Foot!”

Dang Ah-hee bursts into laughter at Mo Yong Seo-jin’s answer. Zhuge Taeryeong looked annoyed and she picked up a tree branch to prick her campfire.

“Go quickly. “Because the forest is dark.”

It must be something to be ashamed of. Mo Yong Seo-jin did not blame Zhuge Tai-ryeong. Because the time to feel that way has long passed. Namgoong Heewon slowly stood up.

“Let’s guard together.”

“… yes?”

“The night in the forest is dangerous. “Especially since this place is said to be a monster forest, you need to be on guard.”

“Are you saying you’re going to follow a woman to the bathroom?”

Dang Ah-hee chuckled. However, Namgoong Hee-won’s expression did not change.

“It looks like your husband, Brother Zhuge, has a heavy butt, so shouldn’t I, as your younger brother, take care of him instead?”

Zhuge Liang’s face turned cold. Mo Yong Seo-jin didn’t know what to do and then turned around.

“… I also learned martial arts. “Compared to you, I may be at the level of a child, but I still have the strength to protect myself.”

“but… ”

“Don’t follow me. Are you trying to insult me?”

Mo Yong Seo-jin spat out. Then, he quickly walks away from the fire. Dang Ah-hee, who glanced at Mo Yong Seo-jin’s back, let out an evil laugh.

“So why are you doing this for nothing?”

“Stop talking about it.”

Namgoong Heewon sat down in his seat and answered. Zhuge Taeryeong glared silently at her Namgung Hee-won’s face. If this wasn’t the Forest of Deception and the Changcheon Sword Clown wasn’t there… While thinking about that, Zhuge Liang chuckled.

“Heewon. “You are already old enough, but do you have any intention of getting married?”

“Why don’t you say that to that girl over there instead of me?”

“but. It’s the same as having no partner. “Speaking of which, I think it would be okay for you two to become partners.”

“Brother, why are you saying such things?”

Dang Ah-hee made an expression of disgust. Namgung Hee-won didn’t feel it was worth her rebuttal, so he kept her mouth shut.

Before long, wow!

A scream was heard from not far away.
