The Man’s Decree

Chapter 661 Leading The Way

At the mention of the Black Blind Forest, Ewan paled. After a long moment of silence, he finally began telling his story.

As it turned out, Ewan had been greedy. Upon finding out that the trees in the Black Blind Forest were tall and thick, he had led his men to cut the trees in the forest.

Despite hearing that the Black Blind Forest was a place of strange happenings, Ewan had decided to take the risk for the sake of money. Furthermore, there were over a dozen of them, so they felt less fear.

Their first day of woodcutting went well, and they progressed quite a lot as well. However, in the middle of their logging, Ewan and the others found a ginseng. After careful observation, they realized it was a decamillennium ginseng, and the finding thrilled Ewan.

Ewan knew that he had no experience in harvesting ginseng—he was afraid that he would ruin the ginseng while harvesting it—so he left it as it was. Yet, he was afraid that the ginseng would vanish from its spot, for he had heard that aged ginseng often moved around in the earth. Hence, he used a red string to leash it before digging a tunnel dozens of meters away from the ginseng to prevent that from happening.

However, the place where they were tunneling turned out to be a mass grave—they dug out many bones. Although fear entered their hearts at that, Ewan did not stop. He told his men to continue digging and sent some men to tell the Sabines about how they had found a decamillennium ginseng.
