Primordial Era: When a Good Guy Awakens a Morally Unethical System

Chapter 41, Deer, Sheep, and Rabbit

Hongyun watched as Qingfeng opened the gate and walked out without any hindrance. After a while, she watched as Qingfeng carried several injured animals back in, again without any obstacles.

So this barrier neither confines those inside nor protects against those outside; it only watches over him.

Zhen Yuanzi's intentions were truly profound!

"Master Hongyun, this deer has a broken leg, and this sheep has a broken horn." Qingfeng came over and put the deer and sheep down.

Hongyun looked at the rabbit in his hand and asked with her eyes.

Qingfeng quickly explained, "I'd like to inform Master Hongyun that I saw someone in the mountains lighting a fire to roast a rabbit. It smelled delicious, so I caught one to try."

Hongyun immediately became interested. Why would a creature born in the primordial world need to eat grains to fill its belly? Most of the demon race also swallowed food raw after transforming into human form. How could anyone use fire to cook food?

"Who is that person? Where is he?" Hongyun's eyes lit up.

How could anyone in the prehistoric world eat roasted meat? How could anyone have such thoughts? Hongyun now seriously suspects that person was also a time traveler.

As the saying goes, when fellow villagers meet, their eyes well up with tears. Hongyun couldn't wait to meet that person and have a good chat.

But... I can't get out!

He had no choice but to say, "Go find the person who did the grilling and invite him back!"

Qingfeng looked bewildered, but quickly agreed and ran out.

Hongyun looked down at the deer, sheep, and rabbit, pondered for a moment, and then used magic to pen the deer and sheep, preventing them from moving around freely. Then, picking up the rabbit, and right in front of the deer and sheep, she took a knife and swiftly slit its throat.

The deer and the sheep both trembled in fright.

Although Hongyun's movements were clumsy, her actions—skinning and disemboweling—were extremely bloody.

Hongyun once again took out the same branch that she had used when she oversaw the guidance of Zhunti, threaded it through the rabbit's body, then cast a spell to light it and placed the rabbit on it.

Then, with his hands behind his back, he wandered between the deer and sheep, his eyes fixed on their graceful lines.

Very good, that's it, continue!

Sheep are herbivores, right?

"You're a vegetarian, right?" Hongyun asked the sheep.

Then they took the roasted rabbit and handed it to the sheep's mouth.

The sheep was so frightened that it kept backing away, but Hongyun followed closely behind. The rabbit stayed right next to the sheep's mouth, never leaving its side.

"Eat!" Hongyun handed it over again, almost stuffing the rabbit directly into the sheep's mouth.

The sheep still refused to open its mouth.

Hongyun smiled wickedly and asked in a gentle tone, "Do you want to eat rabbit or deer?"

The deer shivered again, looked around, and started running with a limp. But just because it couldn't see doesn't mean it wasn't there; it had only run two meters when it bounced back and landed right at the sheep's feet.

"Or do you want to eat lamb?" Hongyun's devilish voice rang out once again.

*Ding! 1000 Morality Points have been credited to your account!*

The sheep glanced at the rabbit near its mouth and took a bite.

"Why do I feel like you two have developed sentience?" Hongyun began to examine the deer and the sheep again.

Hongyun was genuinely puzzled. Although the sheep and deer's reactions were within his expectations, something still felt off when they actually happened.

How do sheep and deer understand what he's saying?

How did you get scared?

Are animals without sentience really this intelligent? Or are the animals of the prehistoric era different from those of later generations? This sheep and deer may not look very big, but they have actually lived for many years.

"How old are you two?" Hongyun asked as soon as she thought of it.

But they received no answer. The sheep and the deer had already huddled together and lay down as far away from the red cloud as possible.
