Fiancée Stolen by MC, I Trip Them up

Chapter 686 - 589: Slaughter

"I’m curious, how did you manage to connect the stones with me?"

"It’s simple, all these sheep were once people, implying that their punishment is imprisonment, losing their freedom.

And you are responsible for guarding them. If a prisoner dies, you will certainly be punished."

Zhao Yi explained the logic in his mind.

"Just on this basis, you made such a move. Do you know that if the whip had hit you just now, you would have become a sheep."

"I didn’t know, but I had no other choice. If I delayed any longer, I would have been dead, so I could only fight with all my might."

"Alright, the fact that you can speak honestly earns you my admiration, young man, you’ve passed."

Hearing he had passed, Zhao Yi was very happy.

The white stones on the Gobi Desert gradually disappeared, and a wide, bright, and smooth road appeared in front of Zhao Yi. As he was leaving, the Shepherd also warned Zhao Yi that this was just a beginning, not an end, and in the Origin, trust no one.

The kindness of anyone towards him was just the start of their demands.

Hearing this heartfelt advice from the opponent, Zhao Yi felt extremely touched, as this came from an enemy.

When Zhao Yi stepped onto the path of light, everything on him started to fade away, leaving him very surprised.

He began to ponder on how to return after completing his mission.

Half an hour after Zhao Yi left.

The Shepherd’s closed eyes opened again, and a young man stood before him.

The young man was very handsome, yet there was a hint of wickedness between his brows.

Seeing the protagonist at that moment, the Shepherd couldn’t help but smile, not expecting two people to enter the Origin in one day.

But the man coldly said after seeing the Shepherd.

"I came only to find out if Zhao Yi is here."

The aggressive attitude and tone of the other party made the Shepherd very dissatisfied.

He directly closed his eyes to ignore him.

The protagonist came right up to the Shepherd.

Looking at the Shepherd, he had a smug smile at the corner of his mouth, achieving the desired effect. He quietly pulled out a short sword from his sleeve and stabbed directly at the Shepherd. Although the Shepherd felt pain, he didn’t care, because nothing with the Power of Laws could harm him.

He wanted to mock the protagonist verbally but suddenly found his whole body felt like it was being burned by fire. Looking down, he discovered black mist emanating from his chest, giving him a big shock.

"I thought you were so strong, turns out you can’t withstand the power of the wooden sword."

The protagonist felt very proud in his heart.

This time, he had bet correctly.

He used the Shepherd’s arrogance and conceit to successfully kill him.

The Shepherd’s body slowly disappeared, and the protagonist looked around for Zhao Yi’s tracks, accidentally discovering that the white stones had disappeared, replaced by groups of sheep. The protagonist thought it was Zhao Yi’s plot, but the wool on those sheep slowly fell off, revealing raggedly dressed people standing in the Gobi Desert.

These people saw the protagonist and gathered around him, making the protagonist very nervous, not knowing if they were enemies or friends.

At this moment, someone knelt directly in front of the protagonist.

Then explained to the protagonist.

They were prisoners kept here, some for as little as two to three hundred years, some for more than three thousand years. Now that the protagonist had freed them, they were willing to become his servants.

The protagonist was overjoyed, after all, with these people guiding in the Origin.

He could easily kill Zhao Yi.

He suddenly felt incredibly lucky this time, while Zhao Yi must be extremely unlucky.

"I have only one question, where is Zhao Yi? Has he already passed by?"

"He has passed through by battling the Shepherd and is on his way to the second stage. If you want to catch up, I suggest you take another road, that way you can overtake him."

At this moment, the prisoners stood up, forming a black path with ghostly wails and howls faintly echoing around it.

The protagonist felt a little timid, unsure whether this was a trap or an opportunity.

The leader then explained as well.

"This is a shortcut, and therefore extremely dangerous, but rest assured, with us leading the way, you will absolutely be safe."

The leader took the lead, and other prisoners followed suit. Seeing everything was safe, the protagonist finally eased his concerns and vanished into the darkness under their protection.

As the grassland appeared before Zhao Yi, his mood gradually improved, with battle fatigue and worries about the future swept away.

Zhao Yi wanted to lie on the grass for a good rest, but he knew he couldn’t sleep as he might not wake up in such a dangerous place!

"Master, don’t you smell it!"

Zhao Yi did not answer the Nine Dragon Jade Seal, but he smelled it too, it was a fragrant aroma!

This aroma was not perfume, nor flowers or grass, but the smell of food!

Impossible!

Rationally, Zhao Yi knew this was a trap and not real! But his stomach growled uncontrollably.

His legs involuntarily followed the aroma.

A quarter of an hour later, a table of dishes appeared before Zhao Yi.

Roast lamb in the middle, surrounded by roast piglets, chicken, fish, and Zhao Yi’s favorite delicacies, with fruit and wine on the edge, all together emitting an enticing aroma, Zhao Yi could hardly control himself from indulging!

"Master, wake up!"

At the critical moment, the Nine Dragon Jade Seal snapped Zhao Yi out of it.

Zhao Yi swallowed his saliva, forcing himself to think of toilets, filth, and everything disgusting to resist the temptation.

"Hey! Who set all this up here? Show yourself if you’ve got the guts!"

"Hehehe..." An eerie laugh echoed behind Zhao Yi.

Turning around, Zhao Yi saw an ugly old woman with an apron and hat before him.

"Young man, don’t speak so harshly. I prepared a table of food for you out of goodwill, so why speak unkindly!"

"For me? You knew I would come?"

"Of course I knew, including your fight with the old Shepherd and the advice he gave you, I’m fully aware."

The old woman said as she pulled out a chair, inviting Zhao Yi to sit.

But Zhao Yi recalled the Shepherd’s advice in his mind.

He stayed put, standing there watching the old woman.

The old woman seemed a bit surprised, but soon displayed a kind expression as she personally poured a glass of wine, moving it close to Zhao Yi’s mouth, letting the tempting aroma waft into his nose.

"Drink it! It will relieve all your worries and fatigue!"

"Crash!" Zhao Yi knocked the wine away, the cup crashing to the ground with a crisp sound.

The old woman’s expression changed.

"You ungrateful brat! I see you’re tired of living!"
