Chapter 566 - Do not harm life unless it is for eating

Yangyangseong

Seonhyun Jeong.

around noon.

A man and a woman are walking on a wide-open road.

he is a young Jeok-ha carrying a simple backpack, and Jeong Deok-haeng with a backpack full of Gong Ji-yu.

Yeon Jeok-ha and Gong Ji-yu led the way, followed by Jeong Deok-haeng.

Yeonjeokha muttered as he looked at the green fields spreading to his left and right.

“It’s so amazing. She was so cold that she would freeze to death not too long ago. What kind of weather is this?”

It wasn't just the weather that was incredible.

It must have been covered in snow until about ten days ago, but the grass is now overgrown.

It is understandable that the tree branches bathed in sunlight come to life and new shoots form.

But is it grass everywhere you can see?

All these changes took place in less than ten days.

As soon as the weather cleared, he left Hyeoncheonmun, so the change was more dramatic.

Gong Ji-yu smiled and said.

“That’s why they say that the seasons of the Savior are like the eight-colored birds.”

Gong Ji-yu, a person from Guju, was more curious about Yeonjeok-ha.

I don't know why I'm so surprised to see something so obvious.

He nodded his head in suspense.

It feels like polar opposites to the point where the word eight colors fits.

“I can see why the beast doesn’t come to town when the snow melts.”

“Because there are many things to eat in the mountains. Still, you have to be careful on the highway. There are many wild beasts that roam the highway without returning to the mountain right away.”

“Why don’t you go back to the mountain?”

“It is lazy. It is easier for people than to kill and eat other animals.”

"ah!"

An exclamation escaped from the young man's mouth.

Just as the tiger that tasted human flesh is always a problem, the beast seems to be the same.

Yeonjeokha, who had been walking while chatting, stopped.

"why?"

“I guess the words have become Mr.”

Along with the horse, Yeonjeokha pointed to the meadow on the left.

The grass, which was still only knee-high, parted and a huge snake approached.

It was five chapters (about 15 meters) long, and the torso looked more than an armful long.

As if it had shed its skin, the white shell was dangling here and there.

Tsutsutsu -.

The sound the snake made was strangely intrusive.

Gong Ji-yu was suddenly speechless, and when I glanced at him, he was as stiff as a stone statue.

Jeong Deok-haeng, who was carrying a lot of luggage, even sat down.

It seemed that the sound of the snake had subdued it.

“Tsk tsk!”

At this point, the Savior's human being was no different from a field mouse or a rabbit.

Then the snake coiled itself up and held his head upright.

Yeonjeokha looked up at the snake and said.

"hey! snake bro! If you're hungry, go to the mountains. We are not your prey. If you attack, you die.”

If the snake was a spiritual creature, it might have returned.

However, the snake blocking the highway was just a serpent of the same level.

The serpent's glistening eyes were fixed on Yeonjeokha.

Thinking of him as prey, the serpent attacked him like a thunderbolt without hesitation.

As he ran toward the enemy, he hit the serpent's nose with his fist.

Quaang!

If it was a ‘vegetable grade’ snake, his head would have exploded.

However, the serpent, which is of the same class, only bounced back with an explosion.

Yeonjeokha swiftly caught up with him and fired three fists in quick succession.

bang! bang! Kwajik-!

The serpent's head sank into the third punch.

The body of the serpent that had been flapping slowly stopped moving.

When the serpent stopped breathing, Yeonjeokha muttered with a confused face.

“I told you. to die.”

When the serpent died, Gong Ji-yu and Jeong Deok-haeng, who had been frozen, woke up as if they had been freed from a spell.

Gong Ji-yu looked at the dead serpent and said with a startled face.

“Huh? When did you kill him?”

"yes? Didn't you see? You just beat me right in front of me?”

"I don't know. I don't remember. I think I saw a snake... … . wow! scary. It could be eaten like this. I don’t even know if I will die.”

“I just told him to go, but he didn’t listen. It was a man who sold death.”

“A spiritual creature will understand the language only when it is done.”

“I guess so. By the way, I think it’s time for dinner, so let’s go eat some.”

Yeonjeokha naturally put down the travel bag next to the snake's corpse.

Gong Ji-yu glanced at the snake's head with an uneasy face.

Snakes can kill people even after their heads have been cut off. So he wasn't willing to do it.

“Yeondaehyeop, can’t you move your seat? Snakes are so tired of life... … .”

“Oh, is that so? I'm sure it's dead, but if you're worried, move it."

Along with the horse, Yeon Jeok-ha spread the Cloud Dragon Fenghu (Cloud Dragon Wind 虎) with his palm.

Quarrrrr—.

Caught in the wind, the body of the serpent flew into the grass.

Only then did Gong Ji-yu choose a clean seat and sit down.

When Jeong Deok-haeng put down his backpack and took out the cooking utensils, Yeon Jeok-ha called him.

“Mr. Jeong.”

"yes."

“Today, try cooking with snake meat.”

“A snake?”

Jeong Deok-haeng opened his eyes wide and asked in response.

Is it snake meat?

At first he thought he had heard wrong.

Don't you know if you run out of food?

There's still a lot of food left, so why snake meat?

“Are your ears clogged? i killed the snake who said that Don't harm a life unless you want to eat it. So, you should eat them while they are fresh.”

“… … .”

Jeong Deok-haeng looked at Yeon Jeok-ha with absurd eyes.

There are two words, ‘don’t harm life’ and ‘eat while fresh’, so it’s quite ironic.

‘Sir, just say you want to eat snake meat! Bullshit that doesn't happen anywhere... … .’

"why? Can't you cook snake meat? Did you play in the winter?”

At the sound, Jeong Deok-haeng jumped up and hurriedly hit his hand.

“Oops! no. You can. Snake meat is also meat, so I can do it.”

“Then do it.”

“Yes, yes.”

Jeong Deok-haeng, who had been cringing, went into the grass with a cleaver.

I got goosebumps looking at the body of the giant serpent that had been thrown into the distance.

'What if I stopped breathing less?'

That thought was all in his mind.

Jeong Deok-haeng hesitantly approached the serpent and observed the serpent for a while.

Seeing that he doesn't move, he must have stopped breathing.

Then a sound came from behind.

“Ah what are you doing! Aren’t you going to cook?”

"do! do!"

Jeong Deok-haeng gritted his teeth and slashed the serpent's body with a cleaver.

Tung-.

The cleaver bounced off and hit Jeong Deok-haeng's forehead.

"evil!"

Jeong Deok-haeng put down the kitchen knife and covered his forehead.

Fortunately, it seems that it was only swollen and not beige, as if it had been hit by a knife.

However, his skin was torn and his palms were stained with blood.

Only then did he realize that the serpent in front of him was a 'class' beast.

“Kite grand bargain! The knife won't go in!”

"whatever?"

‘What the hell, you bastard. I have to skin a beast of the same class to get the meat.'

The swear words rose to his throat, but Jeong Deok-haeng suppressed them.

He had to pretend that he had done it even though he knew it was impossible for him.

Jeong Deok-haeng picked up the cleaver again and approached the serpent.

Empty! Empty! Tong-!

A strange sound resounded incessantly.

Jeong Deok-haeng continued to wield the cleaver.

If he continues to do simple things that don't work at all, he becomes rude.

At that time, he heard a howl as if he had waited.

“Aren’t you working hard?”

Empty! Empty! Empty! Tong-!

Jeong Deok-haeng gritted his teeth and swung his cleaver.

'die! die!'

Since the serpent is already dead, it must be about Yeonjeokha.

Despite his venomous knife cuts, not even a trace was left on the serpent's body.

Gong Yoo said quietly.

“Yeon Dae-hyeop, his inaction will not cut the skin of a beast of his ‘class’.”

"i know."

“Ah, are you punishing him?”

"no. Carve something into his bones.”

“What are you engraving?”

“I don’t know. Somehow, something is being engraved.”

“… … .”

Gong Ji-yu did not understand, but did not ask further.

It's a job that a deceased person like Yeon Jeok-ha does, so wouldn't it be good to know how to do it?

The sound of his knife fading.

It's not because I'm lazy, it's because I'm out of energy.

It is exhausting to die with a heavy kitchen knife for more than 15 minutes.

Only then did he get up from the dating site and approach Jeong Deok-haeng.

As he approached, Jeong Deok-haeng raised his strength and swung his cleaver.

Empty! Empty! puck-!

Did the sound of the last knife change?

Jeong Deok-haeng carefully inspected the area where he had been stabbed.

There were faint cracks on the serpent's scales, which were not even scratched.

This is the power that transcends one's limits.

Caught in a strange fever, Jeong Deok-haeng raised the cleaver once again.

At that moment, Yeon Jeok-ha hit Jeong Deok-haeng in the back of the head with all his might.

slam!

Jeong Deok-haeng fell forward without even screaming.

He was hit in the back of the head, and stars twinkled before his eyes.

“Are you going to be like that all day? When do you want to cook? Gong Sojeo and I are starving to death?”

Jeong Deok-haeng, who came to his senses belatedly, jumped up from his seat.

“Oh, no. The scales are too hard... … .”

“If you can’t do it, you have to ask. Would you like to be cutting a knife for a thousand years by yourself?”

‘That’s why I said earlier that the knife won’t go in! You son of a bitch!'

After cursing as if screaming in his heart, Jeong Deok-haeng cringed.

“I was lingering. Please remove some skin.”

“Give me the knife and get out of the way.”

"yes."

Jeong Deok-haeng handed over the kitchen knife and took a step back.

Yeonjeokha approached the serpent and peeled off the skin as if cutting tofu.

In response, he cut off the flesh to the size of a watermelon and returned the cleaver to Jeong Deok-haeng.

Gong Ji-yu trembled when Jeong Deok-haeng brought the snake meat.

I thought he was just doing it to bully Jeong Deok-haeng, but it seems that is not the case.

He had eaten the meat of wild beasts by chance, but never snake meat.

Is it really because of the saying, 'Do not harm life unless it is to be eaten'?

Gong Ji-yu glanced at the snake meat.

Because it was so big, it didn't feel like snake meat, it just felt like a lump of beef or pork.

Jeong Deok-haeng diligently lit a bonfire and cooked snake meat with all his heart and soul.

After half an hour, the dish was ready.

Jeong Deok-haeng cut the snake meat thick like pork and boiled it down.

so with rice The stewed snake is served.

The smell was fragrant, perhaps because of the various seasonings.

However, Gong Ji-yu couldn't bear to reach for the piping hot snake meat.

It was the same with Jeong Deok-haeng, who cooked.

If Gong Ji-yu was reluctant due to a vague sense of rejection of snakes, Jeong Deok-haeng avoided snakes because of possible toxicity.

It's not just because Jeong Deok-haeng is timid.

It was common in the Savior to die from eating the wrong beast meat.

For that reason, Jeong Deok-haeng and Gong Ji-yu only rubbed the seasoning and did not touch the meat.

However, it was different from jeokha.

For the thieves of the green forest who live in the mountains, snakes were one of the important sources of nutrition.

To them, snakes were both a health food and a food that they could not eat because they were not delicacies.

Yeonjeokha, who took the snake meat and chewed it without hesitation, frowned.

It wasn't the taste I had at Obongsan.

The taste and texture were just like pork.

It might have felt that way more because the seasoning was a common meat dish.

The meal ended in silence.

Yeon Jeok-ha said to Jeong Deok-haeng, who was collecting the remaining ingredients.

“Snake is fine. It's not like there's nothing to eat. Pork is better than eating anything that tastes like pork.”

“Ah, yes.”

Jeong Deok-haeng and Gong Ji-yu, who hated snake meat, sighed in relief.

Gong Ji-yu, who was walking on the public road again, carefully took his luck.

“I don’t think you have to eat what you killed. Isn't it?”

She didn't know what kind of beast she might meet in the future, but she was afraid that she would ask to eat it every time.
