77.

Where is this place.

Who am I.

‘I’m dizzy.’

I only remember running until my consciousness became hazy.

Danhaebinju is something that even when deployed in good health, you can’t think properly, let alone control direction. But forcing myself to drag my right foot that hadn’t fully healed yet, my leg hurt, my back ached, and my stomach that had eaten nothing hurt so much that now I felt nothing at all.

If I stopped for even a moment, I was terrified that Jeonryunshinma would catch up, so I couldn’t even rest.

While I was unconscious, Dokgo Yeon somehow held on, but if it weren’t for her intervention, I’m confident I would have been cut in half within 0.1 seconds.

No, that Hyeollu Majon died in a single strike?

There’s no way someone like me could last even one exchange! Impossible, impossible! (It really was impossible!)

After running like that for three straight days without sleep, I briefly fainted and woke up in some unknown forest.

‘Huh. The sun is at its zenith.’

Since the last thing I saw was the pitch-black middle of the night, I must have been unconscious for at least half a day.

“Ugh…”

I gently touched my sharply aching back with both hands.

Hmm.

‘…It seems better than I thought?’

Surprisingly, my recovery power seemed to have overcome Hyeollu Majon’s corruption.

Perhaps the demonic energy and ghostly energy of the Heavenly Horse Divine Technique offset Hyeollu Majon’s aura. Honestly, I have no idea what principle is at work here.

‘The problem is my ankle.’

Unlike my back, which didn’t take much damage while running, my foot was constantly abused for three straight days.

Honestly, I was afraid to take off my shoe and unwrap the bandages. Sitting down heavily, I carefully lifted my right foot and tried to remove the leather boot.

“…?”

It won’t come off.

I pull a little.

“Aaaahhh!”

It hurts like hell!

It was such a shock that tears instantly started falling. Even compared to when I met Surochaejoo and my arm was dangling, this hurt more.

‘If I leave this alone, I’m really screwed.’

Gritting my teeth, I grabbed the boot with determination and pulled.

“Huuuuuuuaaahhh! Hah, hah, hah, hah. Damn it. Ah.”

…Okay!

Second attempt failed!

‘This is really fucked.’

Ah. Really. This is fucked.

This isn’t right.

“…”

After staring blankly at the air for about an hour, I tearfully admitted it.

I can’t not take off the shoe. If I don’t take it off, I’m really done for…

‘First, let me bite down on this.’

When I bit down on the blue robe Ju Sohui gave me, I could taste the bitter dirt.

In that state, I entered the third attempt. With the mindset that if I couldn’t do it this time, I’d just die, I pulled.

“-!! !! !!!!!”

Having finally succeeded in removing the boot, my face was already a mess of tears and snot. It hurt more than fingernail torture. It was a renewal of pain.

I hate this kind of renewal. Really.

“No way. What is this.”

Looking down at my foot, I fell into a second shock.

The boot I removed looked like I could never wear it again. Trembling, I removed the sock, which was somewhat better than the shoe (though still tearfully painful), and unwrapped the bandages.

Wow.

No.

Wow.

‘My foot became five times bigger?’

Is this real.

It was tremendous swelling.

The condition was so serious that I could see my foot growing in real time. Overwhelmed by the sight, I stood there dazed for a moment.

“Huhuuk. Waaahhh!”

I started wailing.

Well, I’m sad, so what can I do.

I’m really so sad.

Right now I’m hurt and sad and miserable and lonely and depressed…

Those were the only words that came to mind. I remembered an experimental paper saying that people’s IQ drops when they suffer hardship.

It was fascinating when I read it, but I never thought I’d become the subject. I cried quite a lot in that state.

“Sniff. Sniffle.”

After crying, I felt refreshed,

No, not really, I still felt hurt and sad and lonely and miserable and tired.

Meanwhile, the swelling had spread to my calf below the knee. At this rate, only one leg would turn into an elephant’s.

“Wow…”

They say when people are too dumbfounded, words don’t come out.

Leaning against a rock, I fell into thought again. For a reality check.

Q. Where is this place?

A. I don’t know.

Q. Can I walk further?

A. It’s impossible.

Q. Water to drink right now?

A. None.

All I had were the provisions in my arms and the two fine swords Dokgo Yeon gave me.

‘Right, it’ll work out somehow.’

Still, I tried to become an optimist somehow.

Namgung Rin is there, but aren’t I somewhat protagonist-like? Surely heaven won’t let me die!

* * *

One day later.

I was surviving on the moisture stored in the tree trunk right next to me.

And the important point.

“…”

My urine is brown.

How is urine brown.

It hadn’t rained so much that I seriously considered whether to drink it. In the end, I gave up because drinking urine in this condition was unlikely to help with hydration, but I did moisten the pit with it.

‘I can’t go on like this anymore!’

No matter how I think about it, this isn’t right.

Looking down at my right leg, which was still swollen about six times its size, I tied my sword very firmly to my waist.

And very vigorously.

“Whoa.”

I did a handstand!

“This actually works?”

Moving in a handstand made my back ache slightly and my right leg dangled every time I moved my arms, but it was bearable.

“Oh.”

Plus, it’s surprisingly fast.

Rustle rustle rustle.

With the provisions tucked in my arms, I moved quickly in search of a water source. Fortunately, since the area near the mountain range was quite humid, I heard the sound of water after moving a little.

After moving upside down for several hundred zhang, roughly 5km, I could see a small ravine.

I moved my arms frantically and carefully landed right in front of the ravine. Then I buried my head and drank like crazy.

“Whoa!”

Since it hadn’t rained for several days, the water was incredibly clear.

Such clear water is full of parasites, but who am I?

A Chojejung master.

I can raise my body temperature to burn parasites to death. If that doesn’t work, I can circulate my great circulation technique like crazy to dry them out.

“Hmm….”

I slept one more day in front of that ravine and woke up.

After eating breakfast, my rations were completely gone. My right leg was still closer to Pengkkiri than Pengdori, but the swelling had decreased slightly compared to yesterday.

‘Seems like natural healing is possible?’

In about a month or so.

No matter how I thought about it, that was too late.

After sitting and pondering for another day, I made my decision.

‘Let’s escape the mountain range on my own first.’

Starting from morning.

“Chirp chirp!”

Whoosh.

I shot an air palm strike with my finger and hit a wild bird flying by, making it fall.

Then I twisted its neck and took a bite.

‘Hmm… raw meat.’

I’ll endure the parasites with my stomach.

I couldn’t light a fire since all the surrounding trees were soaked.

After eating the raw bird, I went “hup” and started moving again on my handstand, rustling along.

‘This is surprisingly fun?’

Rustle.

Rustle rustle.

Rustle rustle rustle.

Moving along the ravine at quite a fast speed, the water stream gradually widened.

I took a nap in the middle and it became night, but as a Chojejung master, I didn’t worry about slipping due to poor night vision. I operated the Heavenly Horse Divine Technique and brightened my eyes.

After doing this for a while, around midnight.

‘Quite far south?’

While I was running on my handstand, determining my location by looking at the constellations.

“Hyaaaah!”

A man who suddenly jumped out in front of me screamed and drew his sword.

I had noticed the man’s presence but didn’t expect him to draw his sword. When I was startled by the sudden noise and moved back one hand-step (not footstep).

The man who drew his sword and was trembling like an aspen leaf squeezed his eyes shut and shouted.

“Gh-gh-gh-ghost, begone!”

What is this guy saying?

Slightly annoyed, I struck the man’s head with my intact left foot.

“Gack.”

Then he fainted.

I looked down at the man while standing upside down and fell into thought.

“Uh….”

So what do I do with this?
