C337 – Rage

Posted on February 25, 2019 by AzureOrchid92

Dao Yu had the seed surrounded by stones, leaving only one slightly narrow walkway to be able to go directly to the seed.

Now, the place where Dao Yu stood was this aisle.

The others did not quite understand the use of these stones, didn’t know what was in the middle of it, but Dao Yu gave a vague explanation. They knew that it was a dangerous thing, but did not recognize the value of this seed, so they wouldn’t want to approach it.

Looking at the stones piling up more and more here, Dao Yu had on an expression that grew deeper and darker. Then, looking down at his palms, he could see the original deep visible bone injury. After drinking medicine, he has been a lot better. His own recovery ability was also strong, so the flesh on his injury has been re-growing. Two days after, it would grow intact, and after another five or six days, it would certainly be healed completely.

“Well, let’s stop here for a while.” Dao Yu said to the men who were transporting the stones.

There were fifty slaves who were sent here at the beginning by Dao Yu. However, a few days later, there were only more than thirty left. Especially these last two days, the death was particularly much. Hearing Dao Yu’s words, the other people’s hearts turned loose. The work has finally been done, the task completed, so they were waiting for the reward.

Dao Yu called the people guarding the inside of the palace and took out a clay pot. The opened pot sent out a burst of fragrant wine. For the slightly lower class of slaves, wine was a luxury and could not often be tasted. As for the lowest levels, they may never be able to taste it in their lives.

After smelling the aroma of the wine, some of the people swallowed hard, their eyes staring straight at the pot on Dao Yu’s hand greedily. It was said that it was only high ranking slaves and slave owners who could often drink it. Regardless of whether it was good to drink, this was at least a symbol of identity, which was the reason why these people’s hearts were itching to drink it.

Dao Yu swept his sight on the other people’s expressions and a smile showed on his face. “Well, have all of you come over?”

“Should… should be.” Someone said, some couldn’t wait.

Dao Yu looked at each of the eyes of the gathered people. He counted and asked them about what happened to the missing people who had been dragged out. After a few more calculations, there were still two people less. One was the man who dragged a body out, but did not come back, and one was the guard at the exit.

“Why don’t I go over there and look for them?” Someone offered.

Dao Yu squinted his eyes as he thought. Afterwards, he shook his head, saying, “Forget it. I don’t care about them. Let’s drink first. These days are really hard for everyone! I made a point of asking for a pot of wine from the young master and will give it to everyone for a drink.”

Hearing Dao Yu’s words, the other people were really happy. Although they were afraid of Dao Yu, even calling him “Master Dao Yu”, when they heard his words now, they still could not help but loosen up. Their days of fearing him scattered. As for the two people who did not come, none of them wanted to move their feet. Besides, if they didn’t get the benefits after they left to look, they would lose a lot!

Dao Yu lifted up the pot to take his own sip first. After a drink, he licked his lips, seeming to be relishing the aftertaste, letting the others envy him unceasingly.

After filling the first cup, Dao Yu then handed the wine cup to the next person. “Everyone get a mouthful.”

There were not so many cups here. For the slaves, this was not so much to pay attention to as usually, everyone share food. Therefore, when Dao Yu handed out the wine cups, a person directly took over the jar to get a drink while the others were eager to come over and grab the cup from him.

The first slave who filled his cup had just taken a sip and had not tasted it carefully, when the jar was grabbed by another. If it hadn’t been for Dao Yu standing there, these people would probably have fought for this pot of wine.

Dao Yu looked at the slaves who were grabbing the wine cups, while speaking out to stop their snatching, to ensure that everyone had at least a sip.

No one noticed the fierce and hard look that flashed through Dao Yu’s eyes.

Pa!

The wine jar, which had been thoroughly drunk, was smashed to the ground. The slave holding the jar covered his throat, making a “Uh-er” sound, with blood flowing from his mouth. His legs then seemed to be unsteadily soft, as he staggered a few steps before falling to the ground.

After a slave fell, some people reacted to the wine they had just drunk, knowing there was a problem. However, it was already too late.

Dao Yu quietly stood by the scene, watching as the slaves fall down with their breathing stopped. A slave with a knife climb past another slave, his eyes full of anger as he dragged himself to Dao Yu’s position and together, they would go to hell. However, his arm hasn’t even touched the tip of Dao Yu’s foot, when he powerlessly dropped and no sound came out of him again.

Dao Yu contemptuously laughed out loud. He kicked to see if the people would not respond and should not have any breath left. But he was not at ease. For the poisoned man who fell at his feet, he had crushed his sternum to make sure that none of them could survive, then made his way towards the exit. There should be another guard who didn’t come, and there seemed to be another slave? All in all, he won’t let go of anyone who knows the secret here. Even the birds he had taken when he had come from Baishi City had stopped with him in another place, then he sent the birds back. Afterwards, he hiked further so as not to let the birds follow.

Before Dao Yu had picked these slaves and sent them here, in order to mend the palace and carry the stones, Dao Yu did it himself. However, he no longer wanted to risk his life every day with close contact with the seed. He had almost died, stealing the seed when his arm was destroyed. Naturally, he didn’t want to try it a second time. Since he didn’t want to die, he made it so others would die. Now that these projects have been initially completed, there was no need for those slaves to survive.

If there was any need later, he would send a group of people to come over. The desert has a lot of slaves, especially now, in this chaotic time. Dao Yu did not care at all about the survival of these slaves. Although Dao Yu himself was also a slave, he still would not waste his time thinkng about the other slaves.

When Dao Yu went towards the exit to look for the missing slaves, Shao Xuan came out from the dark and looked at the ground with the thirty people no longer breathing, thinking: Dao Yu really was too much.

Taking back his sight from the men on the ground, Shao Xuan went over to the seed.

Placed there were some glowing crystal, with no flame. He did not know if it was not an illusion, but Shao Xuan always felt that the place near the crystal was much brighter than the other places. Even if it was the same kind of luminescent crystal, the one in the middle was the brightest.

Feeling the dangerous signals coming from every single cell in hid body, Shao Xuan looked at the small metallic object placed in the middle of the heap of stones. It must have been a very special thing to be hidden so by Dao Yu.

Shao Xuan’s heart moved. Was this related to metal?

The closer he got, the more Shao Xuan could feel the burning thorns in his arms, face, and so on. No, it was not in every parts where he could feel such a pain. Shao Xuan opened the outer cover of his clothes, showing the clothes he was wearing that was made out of insect leather.

It was the skin of the huge insect that he had picked up when he followed Chacha to Eagle Mountain. At this point, there was no pain in the area covered by these insect skins.

After a thought, Shao Xuan quickly took the insect leather off. No matter how the events here went, he would not leave this to Dao Yu.

Quickly rushing over, Shao Xuan wrapped that small metal-colored object with the insect leather, entangling it in several laps until even a little seam was not revealed. Sure enough, that tingling sensation quickly disappeared.

After he secured the package, Shao Xuan put it inside his animal skin bag, then closed it to hide. Since the insect leather has very well isolated it from this crisis, putting it there was not dangerous. Afterwards, Shao Xuan took a light leap towards a large stone to hide.

Within a few seconds of Shao Xuan hiding, Dao Yu rushed inside. He went to the exit and was planning to kill that sleeping slave, but found that there was something wrong with that slave. Upon a closer look, Dao Yu knew it was more suspicious. That slave was not like he was too tired and fell asleep, but more like he was made that way! Moreover, Dao Yu also felt the disappearance of the seed. In this range of the underground palace, the threat posed by the seed could still be naturally felt by him. When the threat suddenly disappeared, it must be that something was wrong with the seed!

After killing that slave, Dao Yu rushed back to check, and sure enough, the original place where the seed was placed was empty. He also didn’t see any shadow around.

Dao Yu glared around, incredulously looking at the empty place. The blue veins in his forehead was violently showing and his eyes were red as he issued an angry roar. Under his rage, Dao Yu did not care of the others as he slammed a hand on the stone pillar support of the palace. The place he hit immediately showed a clear palm print. At the same time, the column also cracked a clear line.

The whole palace was shaken, and there were stone crumbs and dust falling from the top.
