Volu 6 Chapter 4: Open the way to flee
“Soone’s trying to fra , I don’t have a reason to steal prey from others” at this point, ng 37 had no choice but to insist on his innocence.
This was completely incomprehensible. He didn’t know why his prey was swapped out with another person’s, but he fully believed in his own innocence.
“What do you an there isn’t a reason? Isn’t the fact that you’re dissatisfied with your status as an inferior Desolate and want to beco a Warrior the exact reason why you’d steal?”
“I…” ng 37 was completely speechless.
There was no way he could say that he found a treasure and gained a buff that allowed him to hunt without issues, could he?
These kinds of treasures were obviously not sothing people like him should have gotten their hands on in the first place. The tribe could only ensure relative fairness, if anyone truly found a treasure and turned it in, the tribe would only reward them with a bit of benefit.
ng 37 had his ambitions, he was naturally unwilling to simply hand his treasure over, so he couldn’t explain why he was able to obtain so much prey in a short period of ti. Even if he told the truth right now, he wouldn’t benefit from it and would only have his treasure taken away.
…
While the [Protagonist] of a world could be considered the ruler of all beings, the natural king of the people, but before their [Protagonist Aura] was fully released, the only unique characteristics they display would be unusually strong luck and a great level of information disturbance.
In other words, various things would ‘accidentally’ occur around the [Protagonist] with the goal of training them, forging them step by step into a person capable of sustaining the fully released [Protagonist Aura].
For that reason, a [Protagonist] wasn’t necessarily unbeatable, they were rely hard to kill under the world spirit’s protection.
There was originally a corresponding function within the world’s operation system, as long as it was in line with the world’s operation, the world spirit could aid the [Protagonist] in various indirect manners. For example, to increase the first impression of everyone towards the [Protagonist], thus giving him a helping hand when he needed it most.
However, ng 37 had only just begun his path as a [Protagonist], he still hadn’t manifested his own glow or aura, so everyone’s impression of him right now was that of a petty thief. It wasn’t impossible for the world spirit to impose goodwill towards ng 37 on everyone, but that would only interfere with the world’s operation, which was essentially putting a wrench into its own gears.
It could be said that for the world as a whole, to ensure normal operation, even the world spirit had to follow its rules. Things that were out of the ordinary or even miracles could be made to happen, but not too often.
Since the [Protagonist] hadn’t even begun his journey, the world spirit didn’t feel a need to break the rules for sothing so minor.
And thus, when ng 37 had no way of proving his innocence, his right of residency was stripped and he beca a slave. In this world, slaves were synonymous with ‘spare offerings’, and there was a chance of him being dragged away to be sacrificed at any mont.
…
Sitting in the stinky prison, ng 37’s expression was completely grim. No matter how much he thought about it, he really couldn’t imagine why soone would fra him. After all, he was only an inferior Desolate, no matter how much he didn’t want to admit it, those who had the power to fra him wouldn’t even bother to glance at him.
“Regardless, I can’t continue like this. Being a slave has no future” ng 37 recalled how the majority of slaves usually turn out, causing his originally tanned face to beco even blacker: “Of course, there are also exceptions”
There was indeed a precedent of slaves managing to leave their status behind to beco a Warrior in the ng tribe. Holding the beast tooth in his hand, ng 37 silently made up his mind.
I have to prove my strength.
Currently shirtless, ng 37 wiped the beads of sweat off his forehead, then continued to break the ore in front of him using his pickaxe before throwing it into a nearby wheelbarrow. Slaves were usually forced to continuously do hard labor until they ran out of strength and died.
Suddenly, ng 37 saw the one called ng Li approaching the mining area with a cold expression on his face, leading several people to talk with the manager of the mines. Thanks to his enhanced sense of hearing, ng 37 was able to hear sothing about unusual digger beasts attacking as well as setting up a defense; from which he understood why ng Li had co here.
Essentially, they discovered a type of unusual digger beast and ca here in order to capture that unusual beast. It was because he understood this that ng 37 felt even more unwilling to accept this fact, because being assigned this job could only an that the other party had already beco a Warrior.
He was supposed to be first, obtaining a treasure that could change his life and gathering enough prey. These two joyous occasions should have doubled the joy, so why did things beco like this?
However, this is also an opportunity.
ng 37 suppressed his jealousy and instead began to think about the benefits this could bring him.
By helping them catch the unusual digger beast, I’ll prove my strength. And since the one who reported the theft was ng Li, as long as he helps prove my innocence, I should be able to clear my na and escape being a slave.
And so, when ng 37 volunteered himself as bait to draw the unusual digger beast out, ng Li’s impression of him clearly got better, which delighted ng 37. From this point, by relying on his enhanced senses, he’d very easily be able to find the unusual digger beast.
Contributions would give him a chance to leave slavery.
“It’s over here, I can sense the ground trembling, good…” while soaked in animal’s blood, ng 37 stood at the bottom of the mines and reported to ng Li and the others.
Everything went smoothly and the unusual digger beast swiftly showed itself, after waiting for a bit for the Totems to take effect, the unusual beast would be caught in no ti.
Right at this mont, cracks suddenly ford in the ceiling right above and caused a cave-in, raining nurous stones on top of everyone who was fighting the unusual digger beast.
While the Warriors of the tribe had Totems, these Totem Warriors who accepted this mission were clearly at a preliminary level. They still needed to continuously offer more sacrifices in order to slowly nurture their Totems. A cave-in of this level required at least a Great Totem Warrior in order to resist against, so this group of amateurs were completely wiped out without fail.
On the other hand, ng 37 was completely intact except for a bit of dust on his body. Suddenly feeling a bad on, ng 37 entered the zone of the collapse to observe and found traces of external sabotage above the rocks.
Behind him, he also heard the other slaves running in due to the commotion. As ng 37 observed the traces, his lips twitched and approached the fallen rocks to pull out ng Li’s tal sword.
“What happened?”
As he heard the sound of soone calling out from behind, ng 37 turned around, greeting the person with a smile and an unhesitant sword thrust through the heart. As blood spurted on his face, his smile also beca a bit twisted.
…
Half a day later, the ng tribe issued a wanted order for ng 37, charging him with the cri of using traps to kill Warriors of the tribe, a target for everyone to kill.
Who exactly is the bastard who did this!?
ng 37 quickly travelled through the forest. He perfectly understood just how powerful the tribe was, the only reason why soone who wasn’t even a Warrior like him managed to flee from the mines was that the Warrior who guarded the mines was also crushed under those rocks. Having no other choice, he could only try to run.
However, there was a price to pay for becoming a rogue Desolate, as he had beco a hunting target for everyone while drastically decreasing his chances of becoming a Warrior.
…
“Achoo…”
Killer J rubbed his nose and observed ng 37 as he slowly fled. He knew that the world spirit would soon act to provide the [Protagonist] with so privileges, and it would be extrely difficult to stop this from happening.
