In the northeast corner of Weisen Town, near the edge of Tras Forest, several tents appeared at some point. If someone passes by, they will find that the top of the tent is engraved with a golden carriage galloping on the grassland, and the canvas is thick and smooth, evenly coated with a layer of waterproof lacquer. From a distance, it looks like a small green wooden house.
Ordinary people traveling outside, use the sky as their blanket and the earth as their bed. Having a sleeping bag is already quite good. Even some bosses of merchant teams who travel all over the place often only have one or two tattered tents to shelter from the wind and rain.
A golden carriage that looks as if it were alive, luxurious waterproof canvas, all of which indicate the identity of the owner of the tent, either rich or noble!
At this time, the largest tent occasionally transmitted faint voices of conversation. At the entrance stood two burly warriors on either side. If someone saw them, they would be shocked - what kind of person was it that even their guards were great swordsmen?
"Hai'er Beili, it's time to set off. If we don't leave now...". The old man in gray robes looked worried and pale, with bloodstains all over his body, as if he had just been through a great battle.
"Alas, Master Grian, this little thing is only this big, is its crystal core really useful?" The veiled girl sighed and gently stroked the small unicorn in her arms.
When the girl said this, the old man in gray robes' face sank, and he let out a deep sigh. Whether the crystal core of the little unicorn could work or not, no one had any certainty, but capturing an adult unicorn was by no means easy. For the sake of this little guy, they had already paid a terrible price, with seven or eight of the elite warriors who followed them having fallen, and even Master Gibson had met with misfortune.
"Miss, it's all my fault. The ambush failed and I've dragged Master Gibson down with me." After taking a swig of strong liquor, Hanks, who had several layers of gauze wrapped around his forehead, raised the heavy sword in his hand with a 'whoosh' sound and said fiercely: "Even if it means sacrificing this old life of mine, I'll have to go back into the Trasen Forest to hunt down an adult unicorn. This life was given to me by the lord, without him, I would've become a pile of yellow earth twenty years ago!"
"Right, for milord, I'll let it go!"
"Miss, give the order!"
.....
Under Hank's lead, a group of fierce warriors stood up one after another.
Look at the blood-stained family warriors, and then look at the exhausted few great mages. The girl shook her head helplessly. In the depths of the Trasmei forest, monsters roam freely, and the strength of the unicorn, an eighth-level advanced monster, is terrifying. With its unpredictable movements, even when they were strong and powerful, they couldn't do as they pleased. Now, after suffering heavy losses, it's even more impossible.
"Everyone's kindness, Ha'er Beili has taken to heart. But the crisis in the Trauma Forest is heavy, what can Ha'er Beili do? How can we let everyone take risks again?" The masked girl's eyes were red as she continued: "The brave warriors standing together is our family's blessing, whether this time can save Father's life or not, Ha'er Beili deeply thanks you all!"
"Hurry up, Bailey, let's go! I hope we can return to Montsen within three days!" The old man in gray robes had a gloomy expression. "If we can't make it back before your father's condition worsens, there won't be any chance at all!"
Upon hearing the old man in grey, the masked girl became even more anxious and ordered everyone to set off immediately. However, just as everyone was standing up, a thunderous roar suddenly came from afar. Following that, a series of urgent hoofbeats could be heard, seemingly from a fast horse rushing over quickly.
In the dead of night, was it a passing knight or a monster that came out to hunt?
As the voice grew clearer, everyone was puzzled. This is the outskirts of Tras Forest, where there are no monsters at all. Moreover, due to its distance from the residential area of Visen Town, it is rare for people to pass by, let alone in the middle of the night, even during the day, there is hardly anyone passing by. What's going on?
*sigh*...
After a moment of concentration, the little unicorn in the masked girl's arms let out a loud screech and struggled with all its might. At the same time, after hearing the little guy's cry, an even louder roar came from outside, footsteps became more urgent, and clearer.
"Not good, it's a unicorn that has followed the scent!" Looking at the little guy who was struggling with all his might, the old man in gray robes had an impulse and shouted loudly, "Quickly, rush out, form an array, quickly!"
When the old man in grey robes shouted, everyone else also reacted and rushed out recklessly. After experiencing several days of relentless pursuit, everyone understood that only by forming an array would they have a chance to escape with their lives; otherwise, they would be mercilessly killed one by one by the terrifying unicorn.
"Miss, your sword!" In a panic, the maid chased after the masked girl with her sword, and upon recalling the warrior whose head was trampled in two by the unicorn two days ago, she shuddered all over.
After shoving the little unicorn into the maid's arms, the masked girl 'whooshed' out a sharp long sword and said in a low voice: "Mary, don't be afraid, we have more people. When the fierce battle comes later, remember to stand behind me, absolutely do not panic and run around!"
As a demon swordswoman, Hail Bell was also tense, but not as panicked as the maid Mary who didn't know any martial arts. With the help of Captain Hankes, she commanded the family warriors to quickly form a dense circular defense formation.
The town of Weisen was filled with rain, and the second half of the night was usually when the fog was thickest. The unicorn's roar grew closer and closer, but the thick fog obscured its figure, making it impossible to see despite hearing its voice. Staring into the dense fog, people became even more tense, as the unicorn's rapid footsteps sounded like a death knell that gripped their nerves.
"Uh, miss, I..." The maid's eyes widened as she listened to the drum-like 'thud thud' sound and looked around at the flashing knives and swords, her tension almost causing her to lose breath as she closely followed the masked girl.
"Hanks, if we can't hold on later, you take the young lady and leave first. Absolutely do not try to be a hero!" The old man in gray robes whispered as he squeezed beside Hanks. When they were strong and powerful, it was already difficult to withstand the unicorn's crazy counterattack. Now that only these exhausted remnants were left, what could they use to resist the enemy's attack? In desperation, they had no choice but to abandon their pawns to protect their general.
*sigh*...
When it rushed to several hundred steps away, the unicorn suddenly stopped its feet, paused for a moment, and then slowly approached step by step.
Tick, tick, tick.....
Listening to the heavy and powerful footsteps, feeling a surge of murderous aura, people were so tense that they were sweating profusely, gripping their weapons tightly, not even daring to breathe.
With a series of "clattering" sounds, the unicorn slowly emerged from the thick fog. Its bright red eyes, wrapped in a circle of purple electric arcs, and the overwhelming killing intent that swept across the sky, made people's hearts tremble with fear.
"Surrender the little unicorn, otherwise, kill without pardon!"
Just as the old man in grey robes and several great mages were about to join hands to cast a magical shield, a young figure slowly emerged from the unicorn's body. His gaze was like lightning, his face expressionless, and although no fluctuations of magic or aura could be felt from him, people did not dare to underestimate him.
After successfully taming the seriously injured unicorn, Yang Ling quickly understood the ins and outs of the matter through its memories, and why the unicorn was so resentful and unwilling to die before it died. While desperately treating the unicorn's wounds, he followed the scent of the little unicorn and rushed over.
