Farming Druid - Chapter 136



Only Krnovel

136. He held his head.

Growl―

Two yellow pumpkin chunks floating in the darkness.

A thought occurred to Abel: ‘What is that?’

Thump-

Abel was someone who would become nervous at the sound of a single footstep.

Growl- Keung-! (Who is it…. Answer me!)

Abel spoke to the yellow pumpkin that was gradually approaching.

No answer came.

Thud— thud—.

Only the sound of footsteps could be heard coming towards Abel.

‘What the heck is that sound? Why does it feel like all the hairs on my back are standing on end?’

I couldn’t figure it out.

chin-

The approaching sound finally stopped.

The pumpkin-like thing floating in the air became thinner as if examining something.

Krrrrrrung-(Is that you?)

In the dark.

The voice heard was very low.

The momentum of an apex predator.

Abel had no choice but to lower himself.

Growl-growl-

Abel lowered his body.

I looked at the animal in the darkness.

The moon that had been hidden by clouds showed its face.

Abel’s eyes grew bigger than the full moon.

My body was stiff.

It was the top predator that got hit.

‘Uh―. I, that’s… .’

Abel couldn’t continue his thoughts.

A giant animal in front of your eyes.

The animal with the word ‘즞’ clearly engraved on its head.

It was a tiger.

Abel had never heard of a domestic tiger roaming the mountains.

The hairs all over my body stood on end and became stiff.

“Are you the ‘one-night puppy’ called the guardian dog?”

‘A puppy’ heard from the mouth of a giant tiger.

Abel kept his mouth shut.

“Answer me.”

The tiger’s voice was short.

* * *

Baeksuho, the tiger that lived as the guardian of heaven and earth in Baekdu Mountain, Baekdu Daegan.

After he opened his eyes.

The feeling of being light and refreshed was terribly unpleasant.

A small bird peered at him from a branch.

And then it flapped its wings and flew away.

The tiger’s expression crumpled without mercy after hearing the bird’s words.

-I have to tell the Guardian~.

The tiger was reminded of a human woman at those words.

I recalled the time in the past when a human woman who was the ‘Guardian of Nature’ came to visit my home, the cave under the Baekdu Mountain Heaven and Earth.

The tiger and she have been together for quite some time.

She leaned against the tiger and opened her mouth.

“Suho―. If― my son becomes the guardian of nature, I will make you the ‘Guardian Tiger of Korea.’”

At the human woman’s words, the tiger guardian opened his large amber eyes even wider and said.

“Really? You’re going to make me the guardian of Korea?”

The person in front of me nodded.

She extended her small, thin pinky finger to the tiger.

The tiger stares blankly at the hand.

He transformed into a human and crossed his fingers.

“I’ll come back again.”

The tiger believed her words.

She was the first human to come to me and when I smelled the scent of the forest and various scents of nature,

I felt so good.

After she left, Baekdu Mountain’s tiger and divine beast, Baeksuho, fell asleep in a cave.

Days passed, months passed, years passed, decades passed, and I opened my eyes.

Kwaaaaang―

Baek Soo-ho feels like the world is going to fall apart.

Stretched.

Kururur―

The sound of the red lava layer beneath Mt. Baekdu shaking could be heard.

Tsk―

Baek Su-ho crushed the lava with his feet.

And then I came out of the cave and looked up at the sky.

Sigh-

Good air.

There were also traces of humans, indicating that they had occasionally visited.

Baek Su-ho, a tiger, stuck out his tongue and drank water at the edge of Baekdu Mountain’s Cheonji River.

Gulp— Gulp—

After drinking for a while and quenching his thirst, Suho headed to the highest place.

‘Let’s see how much has changed while you were sleeping?’

The tiger stood at the top of the tallest tree and looked out at the world.

“oh-.”

The world has changed a lot since I fell asleep.

A square box seen through Suho’s eyes.

A picture of people moving around inside a box.

I even captured the sight of people climbing the mountain.

Hmm―

Suho jumped down from the tree.

Suho returns in the form of a tiger.

After stretching here and there to loosen up the tense muscles.

When heading back to the cave.

I heard the sound of wings flapping overhead.

The bird looked at Suho.

It headed south with small flaps of its wings.

Let’s frown at the words left by the bird.

The pattern carved into his head moved.

‘Now that I think about it… .’

Suho went down from Baekdu Mountain to Geumgang Mountain and observed the animals.

It is the top predator.

Baeksuho, the tiger that protected this land.

The animals began to get nervous at his appearance.

Then, at the words of a bear, Suho decided to go south.

‘It’s a border… .’

As he was walking, Suho saw the barbed wire fence that the humans had put up.

He snorted as if it was a new experience.

‘I think it started after that sound of beans being roasted… Let’s see… .’

Clang- Clang-

Let’s touch the wire mesh for a moment.

The sound of human footsteps was heard.

Hmm―

Suho stepped back and quickly climbed over the barbed wire.

Tadadot-

Suho, who had hidden his presence, moved only towards the mountain so that the humans could not follow him.

The sun had already disappeared, and only the moonlight softly illuminated the ground.

Thud- thud-

Suho continued to head south like that.

I found some bears playing around.

Suho was amazed to see a bear that didn’t sleep even though it was winter.

“hey-.”

At the guardian’s call, a black bear’s head turned.

“Huh? Wow― it’s a big cat… a bear.”

“what?”

Suho was momentarily speechless at the word ‘big cat’.

“I’ve never seen such a big cat before… Is that your guardian cat?”

The black bear with the impressive white pattern on its chest shook its head and opened its mouth.

“The cats in your guardian’s house are all small. They’re about this big.”

The Asiatic black bear raised both of its front paws to show the size of the cats.

Suho was shocked that he was being compared to house cats.

“These bear-like bastards?”

Suho showed off his momentum with a curse.

Huh-

Huh-

Only then did the two bears realize.

“No way… Are you Shinsoo?”

The black bear’s speech changed.

Suho stared quietly at the two bears.

Just as I was about to open my mouth to answer.

Kkweeeeek―

A wild boar approached the bears.

Shh …

The bears looked at what had just passed with surprised eyes.

It was biting the boar’s neck with its yellow eyes.

The red blood formed a small puddle.

The crescent bear muttered when he saw it.

“That cat is fucked.”

Black Bear also seemed to agree with that statement.

“The Guardian killed the child he was riding… yea.”

Suho was dumbfounded by the two bears’ muttering.

The wild boar that Suho just caught would have been a delicacy to the bears as well.

however….

Is that the kind of reaction you get?

Toouk-

Suho put down the boar in his mouth and looked at the bear.

“You’re screwed? Why? And who rides this food?”

Suho took a step closer to the bear who asked him if he was a god.

The bear bowed his head.

I took a step back.

“Did you ask if I was a god?”

The bear nodded.

“Baekho is the divine beast that protects Baekdu Mountain and the heavens and earth.”

The bears’ round eyes widened.

“Pear, Baekdu Mountain Tiger?”

The black bear came down from Geumgangsan Mountain, so he knew about the existence of the Baekdu Mountain tiger.

White tiger Baekho.

A tiger named Baeksuho because it protects Mt. Baekdu.

“Seo, no way. Ji, are you really a divine being? A tiger from Baekdu Mountain?”

To Black Bear’s question, Suho nodded while eating a wild boar.

His snout quickly turned red.

“however….”

After chewing and swallowing the wild boar meat.

Suho asked the black bear.

“Did you say it was a wild boar that the guardian rode on?”

The black bear’s back fur was already damp.

I had a feeling that if I didn’t answer quickly, I might end up like that boar that just died.

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Let me explain in more detail….”

The black bear told everything that happened in Dogyeonggye Mountain.

Hmm―

“There is a guardian dog….”

Baekdu Mountain Tiger Baeksuho recalled a human woman from several decades ago.

If you hear your own cries, you will definitely come to me.

Suho growled softly and called the guardian dog into the mountains.

* * *

“Are you the ‘one-night puppy’ called the guardian dog?”

Suho snorted as he looked at the large puppy in front of him.

The size was similar to his own.

‘You said you wanted to raise a big dog…’

The dog, which had been lowering its posture in front of my eyes, continued to show its teeth.

It’s as if he’s going to bite you if you move even a little bit.

at that time.

The dog in front of me opened its mouth with wrinkles all over its nose.

“Did you eat the animals that live in the border?”

At the dog’s words, Suho snorted and took a step forward.

“Why are you saying something so obvious? Of course I ate it because I was hungry. Don’t you do the same? When you’re hungry, don’t you eat the food your master gives you?”

“… … .”

“So, I heard you were a guardian dog….”

Suho howled loudly in front of the dog.

Kwaaaaang―

The loud roar of a tiger.

It was enough to wake up the sleeping forest.

The apex predator’s momentum shook the entire forest.

Even my friends who had fallen asleep blinked their eyes to try to figure out what was happening.

Shh …

The wind began to blow, shaking the skinny branches.

The gentle east wind, not the harsh north wind, caressed Suho’s fur.

“hmm?”

As the wind blew hard, Suho, who had closed his eyes, opened them.

Someone was standing between the guardian dog and himself.

There was Inyoung looking down at Suho with her arms crossed.

A cold voice was heard.

“Why did you come down?”

The puppy heard the man’s voice and waggled its tail like a helicopter.

Woof woof (Grandma!)

Suho’s eyes widened in another way.

“grandma?”

The woman in front of me is from several decades ago.

It was a woman who said she would come to him.

The corners of the woman’s eyes went up involuntarily at the word grandmother.

At that sight, Suho wagged his tail.

‘ah….’

Suho, seeing her expression, felt defeated.

“Go back―. Don’t come down yet.”

Suho’s ears drooped at her cold words.

Abel was watching this scene with interest.

‘Popcorn… I wish I had some.’

Abel realized that the very large cat in front of him was a ‘tiger’.

He knew that the reason the hair on his back stood up was because he had never seen a species before.

Abel lay down a little way away.

I was listening to two people’s conversation.

The tiger was looking at the grandmother with its big eyes rolling around.

“That… is exactly the same.”

“what?”

“When you were with me… .”

under-

Abel lay down his ear to his grandmother’s empty laughter.

Raising that voice means that Grandma doesn’t like it.

“That, that’s not it… It’s that the world is saying that you’ve become so pretty.”

“Oh, really? You kicked me out because you had to go to sleep.”

Those words made Suho wonder if his memory was wrong.

Then a sharp voice was heard.

“Don’t you remember saying you had to press the lava and go to sleep?”

“… … .”

“And you asked me to sing a lullaby?”

“… Uh— did I… do that?”

“Oh, and then he told me to go home because I need to sleep there.”

“… … .”

“I told you I’d come back again. You vaguely replied with a tail, don’t you remember?”

It was only then that Suho realized that his memories were being embellished.

“Ugh! Let’s talk later. I’m busy. I have to go.”

Shh …

After the wind blew hard.

When Suho opened his eyes, there was no one in front of him.

dump-

Suho lay down on the spot and covered his head with his forelegs.

“Ah―. Shit―.”
