Chapter 695 - 598: Lord of Origin
Just as Zhao Yi was about to rest, he heard wolves howling in the distance. Many wolves appeared on the mountain far away, catching Zhao Yi and the Nine Dragon Jade Seal completely by surprise.
He had never imagined that such creatures could exist within the Origin, especially in such a unique space.
Wolves seemed too common, and what surprised him even more was that the stone he was sitting on began to move.
Zhao Yi linked the two phenomena together and immediately realized that the ones in the distance were the nemesis of these stones before him.
He grabbed one, and the stone made a terrifying noise, startling Zhao Yi so much that he dropped it to the ground.
The stone tried to escape, but Zhao Yi pinned it down.
"What exactly are you guys, monsters or something else? Can you explain the howls of those wolves from afar? It’s already frightening enough.
You suddenly started moving too; it’s like a dance of demons. If you don’t tell me, I’ll just kill you."
"Please don’t kill me. We are just little elves within the Origin, and those strange wolves are very powerful.
You’d better find a place to hide quickly; we can’t stand up to them."
After saying this, the stone quickly disappeared, and Zhao Yi and the Nine Dragon Jade Seal realized it was too late to evade. By now, the strange wolves were already about ten miles away.
Additionally, some strange wolves had already arrived from the left and right, surrounding Zhao Yi.
Upon witnessing this situation, Zhao Yi didn’t say much. He noticed that these wolves had red eyes full of killing intent, clearly viewing him as food rather than wanting to talk.
He didn’t hesitate, launching an attack on them directly. He flashed to the head of one wolf, kicking it away, and the other wolves were taken aback by this.
However, they each opened their mouths wide and spewed blue mist, which instantly engulfed Zhao Yi. With his experience, Zhao Yi immediately sensed that it was poisonous and stopped breathing.
Spinning like a whirlwind, he quickly dispelled the mist. The wolves were caught up in the whirlwind, spinning incessantly in mid-air.
When the whirlwind stopped, Zhao Yi thought these creatures would certainly be dizzy and easily defeated.
Unexpectedly, the wolves spread their wings and flew in midair, while their fur turned into steel blades, flying directly at Zhao Yi, gleaming with a blue light.
Zhao Yi didn’t dodge, and a barrier appeared around him, blocking everything outside. The wolves, realizing their attacks were ineffective, became a bit frantic.
They howled to the sky, causing the whole ground to tremble. Zhao Yi, familiar with this, stayed calm, having the Nine Dragon Jade Seal emit a Dragon’s Roar in counterattack.
Simultaneously, he turned into a meteor with lightning speed, passing through the wolves, leaving them to fall in his wake. Within moments, they were knocked to the ground by Zhao Yi.
Once they reached the ground, the wolves disappeared. Seeing this, the leader realized they couldn’t contend with Zhao Yi, so they retreated.
At that moment, the Nine Dragon Jade Seal transformed into a divine dragon, emitting a massive Dragon’s Roar in midair and gobbling up three wolves at once. This broke the wolves’ morale completely.
The wolves scattered and fled, disappearing instantly. Zhao Yi breathed a sigh of relief as the stones reappeared, clapping with their stone hands.
"You guys really can show up now to cheer after the fight. Do you want to stir the pot, pushing me to eliminate those creatures further, am I right?"
"You’ve misunderstood us. That’s not our intention. These creatures have bullied us for hundreds of years, and today’s defeat gave us some relief.
In our hearts, you are a hero, which is why we react this way."
Their words pleased Zhao Yi greatly, but his stomach growled again. He looked at the stones and asked.
"Can you tell me where I can find food? I’ve been venturing through the Origin for several days now, and I’m quite tired and hungry."
"If you want food, you might as well follow us to our world. Our Stone World has a lot of delicacies, and many strange and wonderful things.
Those things might be able to assist you. What do you think?"
Initially, Zhao Yi didn’t want to go, as Peach Blossom Spring was full of traps, and the Shepherd had warned him before.
Not to trust anyone. Yet upon reconsidering, there seemed to be no other way. Returning the way he came was impossible.
He had to find a new path to the Long River, so he nodded and followed the stones southward.
The terrain became more and more depressed, until finally, Zhao Yi found himself in a deep pit. At that moment, the stones began to tap the ground continuously.
Gradually, a crack appeared on the ground, followed by a mysterious red glow shining through it. Zhao Yi felt a warm sensation from below.
However, he didn’t sense any killing intent or anything else, and the Nine Dragon Jade Seal reminded him at this point.
"Master, we should be a little cautious here. Although there’s no killing intent, something still feels off about this place."
"We’ve made it this far, so we can only take it step by step. Let’s see what treasures these stone creatures have, and what tricks they’re up to?"
With great skill and bravery, Zhao Yi followed the stones into the Underworld, just realizing that the red glow he saw was merely an exterior layer.
As they delved deeper into the Stone World, the environment turned beautiful.
A meadow appeared before Zhao Yi, filled with singing birds and fragrant flowers, momentarily making him feel dazzled and unwilling to leave.
"I never thought there would be such a place within the Origin. I assumed the Origin was all barren wasteland.
Or maybe it’s filled with killing machines or strange people."
"This is a world we created ourselves, with some other species also seeking refuge here, due to the excessive slaughter in the Origin World.
And we must maintain some things related to the Origin, which is why the Lord of Origin granted us such a privilege."
Upon hearing the term Lord of Origin, Zhao Yi grew interested and laughed, asking them who the Lord of Origin was, and why such things existed.
"I suppose it’s the first time you’ve heard of this, hence the improper phrasing. I hope next time you won’t think of the Lord of Origin as just a thing.
He is a great and remarkable person."
