Fiancée Stolen by MC, I Trip Them up-Chapter 497 - 399: Slaughterhouse!

The howling gusts swept across the Pegasus Grassland, startling the cattle and sheep grazing below into chaos.

Zhao Yi stood atop the Golden Peacock, feeling the unparalleled swiftness, his heart full of amazement.

Indeed, a flying mount must be a bird.

Although the Dragon Race can also be ridden, both the driving experience and space are far inferior to avian mounts.

The Golden Peacock spread its wings, and its broad bird back was as large as a basketball court.

Its golden feathers were like a soft blanket; Zhao Yi sat atop it, sinking in completely, and sighed in comfort.

This experience was nothing compared to the cold, scaly sensation on Xu Yue’Er’s back.

Most importantly, the Golden Peacock’s flying technique was excellent.

Sitting on the bird’s back, Zhao Yi barely felt a bump, as comfortable as lying on a bed.

In contrast, flight with Xu Yue’Er felt like a rollercoaster.

If Zhao Yi hadn’t been robust, he would have been jolted into vomiting several times by her.

Xu Yue’Er was unaware of Zhao Yi’s disdain for him in his heart.

The Golden Peacock was too fast, and Xu Yue’Er could barely keep up at a brisk pace.

Seeing the approaching Mount of the Gods, Xu Yue’Er felt a tinge of anticipation.

Xu Yue’Er had overheard when Zhao Yi agreed with the Golden Peacock.

Naturally, Xu Yue’Er dared not compete with the Golden Peacock.

Xu Yue’Er had only a cultivation of the sixth rank in the Divine Travel Realm, incomparable to the Golden Peacock.

If she annoyed the Golden Peacock, a mere glance from the peacock could scatter her soul.

So, even if Xu Yue’Er had plans, she had to wait until Zhao Yi satisfied the Golden Peacock first.

If there were leftover Law Fragments, Xu Yue’Er wondered if she might get some, thus gaining the ability to protect herself in the chaotic times.

Though Xu Yue’Er harbored these thoughts, she dared not voice them to Zhao Yi.

Previously, she stayed by Zhao Yi as a mount.

Now that Zhao Yi had the Golden Peacock, she wasn’t needed as a mount anymore.

Xu Yue’Er feared angering Zhao Yi; not only might she not get any Law Shards, but she might not even stay by Zhao Yi’s side.

The Four Seas Dragon Race’s demise had shown Xu Yue’Er how frightening the outside world was.

Without Zhao Yi’s protection, she wasn’t sure she’d survive another day.

Thinking about it, Xu Yue’Er quickly lowered her head, avoiding letting Zhao Yi see her thoughts.

Previously, she was spurred by the Golden Peacock into having such bold ideas.

If Zhao Yi discovered it, she’d be inconsolable.

Xu Yue’Er didn’t know that she wasn’t wrong in her thinking.

Neither Zhao Yi nor the protagonist cared about her survival.

The Four Seas Dragon Race had a bad reputation in the Cultivation World.

Especially since the Dragon Race secretly supported the rebels, continually opposing the Great Xia Dynasty.

If not for protecting endangered species and preserving biodiversity, Zhao Yi might have already skinned and dismembered Xu Yue’Er.

For Xu Yue’Er to seek Law Fragments from Zhao Yi—she must be out of her mind.

Soon, the group reached the foot of Mount of the Gods.

Looking up at the towering peaks, Zhao Yi felt a wave of disappointment.

He hadn’t seen any Unicorns along the way.

Zhao Yi remembered Hertz previously mentioning that Unicorns were supposed to be on the Pegasus Grassland.

Yet Zhao Yi hadn’t seen a single one on this journey.

Upon hearing Zhao Yi’s doubt, the Golden Peacock mocked, "Master, have you not seen what the Pegasus Grassland has become? It’s full of livestock, smelling like a manure pit. Unicorns symbolize purity; it’s strange for them to stay in such a place!"

Zhao Yi, reminded of his earlier doubts, asked, "What’s the situation in Pegasus Grassland? Why so many cattle and sheep?"

Golden Peacock shook its head, "I don’t know where the cattle and sheep came from; they seemed to be placed overnight, and no source can be found."

After that, it added, "But what’s certain is that those cattle and sheep aren’t related to the mages on Mount of the Gods. Since they appeared, the mages have sealed the mountain, never descending again."

Golden Peacock paused noticeably when it said this.

Clearly, it hadn’t said everything.

For instance, if the restrictions on Mount opened, and Zhao Yi and the others spoke of slaying a god, the mages might come down and crush them!

The protagonist understood this now.

For half a year, the grand mages of the Magic World took him around, marking him with the Eye of Boundary, yet failing to attract the dharma body’s attention.

The protagonist previously believed they were probing his origins for a final strike.

Turns out, the mages were tired of the livestock stench and simply sealed the mountain, ignoring external sounds.

If he hadn’t personally visited the Pegasus Grassland, he might never have learned of the mountain’s situation.

No matter how much he traveled the Magic World, he wouldn’t have attracted mages, let alone slay a god.

"Is there no clue at all?" Zhao Yi asked.

The cattle and sheep couldn’t have appeared out of nowhere.

Given how polluted the Pegasus Grassland was, it’s clear the livestock wasn’t raised here day or two.

Such a big commotion shouldn’t go unnoticed.

Golden Peacock shook its head, "I was in seclusion, and upon emerging, the place was already teeming with cattle and sheep."

After the pause, it continued, "If you hadn’t arrived in time, I might have left the Pegasus Grassland in two days. The smell is unbearable here."

At this, the protagonist suddenly asked, "How are the cattle and sheep of Pegasus Grassland handled?"

Golden Peacock replied, "Typically island beasts descend to eat them, but the livestock reproduce quickly, far exceeding the beasts’ consumption."

Zhao Yi understood the protagonist’s implication.

Seeing the Golden Peacock ready to continue, he raised a hand to interrupt and asked outright, "Why not kill all the cattle and sheep directly?"

The Golden Peacock had clearly thought of this.

Hearing Zhao Yi’s question, it responded without hesitation, "Here is the Mount of the Gods, where the mages’ palaces are. Large-scale slaughter might anger the mages."

Here, the Golden Peacock suddenly paused.

It halted abruptly, asking with shock, "Master, you’re not intending to slaughter the cattle and sheep, are you?"

Zhao Yi didn’t hide it, replying directly, "Yes, that’s exactly my intention. The origins of these cattle and sheep are extraordinary. If they forced the mages to seal Mount of the Gods, would slaughtering them alert the mages?"

The Golden Peacock hesitated, nodding, "The restrictions of Mount are sealed; it’s unclear if the mages can sense changes below. If they detect the slaughter, they’ll definitely come to investigate!"

"That’s enough!"

Zhao Yi jumped off the Golden Peacock’s back.

Xu Yue’Er, watching, quickly stepped forward to catch him.

A hint of approval flashed in Zhao Yi’s eyes, then he told the Golden Peacock:

"Go, kill all the cattle and sheep!"
