Misty Forest Situation 87
(Sorry for the late update, it's cold and my fingers are numb, not easy. Thanks to tonight yearning and anna0626 friends for their rewards)
The two warriors' eyes were rolling around, their faces pale, and they seemed to be thinking of something in their hearts. They looked at Xiaoming with great fear.
Xia Ming's palm chopped out, hitting the neck of another warrior, leaving behind a soldier named Arni. Seeing his comrade collapse to the ground, Arni was terrified: "What do you want to do? Weren't we supposed to be interrogated?"
Xia Ming's face revealed a smile, but this smile looked even more terrifying than the devil in Arnie's eyes. Xia Ming said: "Don't worry, your companion just fainted, after you tell me the news, I'll wake him up and ask again, if I find any deceit in your words..."
Arnie almost cried, this magician is too experienced, what kind of person is this?
He hung his head in grief, and could only nod honestly: "What do you want to know, just ask."
Xia Ming finally felt at ease and after a moment of contemplation, said: "What exactly happened in the heart of the Misty Forest that triggered such a massive beast tide?"
"This...” Arni replied with a sorrowful expression: “Magician, we're not very clear about this either. As you know, our strength is really not enough to be seen, and we can only mix around in this area. If we go any further, it's the territory of level 5 or higher magical beasts, we don't have the guts to go!"
"Not a single message?" Xia Ming didn't believe it, these few people had been hanging around here for years, it was impossible that they hadn't received any wind of it.
"I've heard some mercenaries talking about it, saying that in the forest recently at night you can often hear a strange cry of some kind of magical beast, it seems like a powerful magical beast has appeared, someone said it's related to this...” Alni was sweating profusely, afraid that his answer wouldn't satisfy the magician, who looked like he wouldn't hesitate to get rid of him.
"A powerful demon beast......" Xia Ming hesitated for a moment, in any case, something has happened in the Misty Forest.
"Do you have any news about the Unicorn King?" Xia Ming asked.
"So you're also here to find the Unicorn King..." Arnie exclaimed, then immediately shut his mouth under Xiaoming's gaze.
"I do have news about the Unicorn Lion King, it was spotted in the north three days ago and the Young Master of the Dark Night Mercenary Group is currently hunting it. I once heard the roar of the Unicorn Lion King from a distance, but didn't dare to get close, that's a nearly sixth-level peak magical beast..." Alni's face still had a hint of fear on it.
A magical beast nearing the peak of grade six, enough to make even ordinary grade-six powerhouses retreat in fear. After all, a magical beast's powerful brute strength and hard skin were its greatest advantages. It was normal for Arnie to feel apprehensive.
"Deputy Commander of the Dark Night Mercenary Group?" Xia Ming's sharp senses picked up on a key word in his words.
"That's right, the young commander of the Dark Night Mercenary Corps, Gosra. He is a renowned figure among the mercenaries in Lieyang City, and at the age of 25, he has already become a sixth-level warrior. The Dark Night Mercenary Corps is also one of the three major mercenary corps in Lieyang City, with hundreds of people!" Arnie said honestly without hiding anything.
"Sixth-level warrior." Xia Ming furrowed his brow, the situation in the center of the Misty Forest was indeed different from the outside. A 25-year-old sixth-level warrior, although not comparable to the geniuses of Cangyan Academy, was still a remarkable person.
"Besides the leader of the Dark Night Mercenaries, Gosla, who else is concerned about the Unicorn Lion King?" Xia Ming asked.
"There's also Julian, the son of the lord of White Jade Castle, who is a 6th-level magician. And then there's Danton, the son of Lord Roy, who is said to be a 5th-level warrior at his peak." Arni hastily told everything he knew, fearing that he might miss even a single detail.
Xia Ming and Su Weiwei exchanged a glance, these people who care about the Unicorn King are the most promising young people in this area. Baiyucheng Xia Ming knew that it was a large city near Lieyang City, and also a famous city-state of the Ailen Kingdom. The son of the lord of Baiyucheng, this identity is also quite prestigious.
As for Lord Roi, he was also a famous lord of the Allen Kingdom, an hereditary earl, and his son would surely be extraordinary as well.
"So many young and talented individuals have arrived, and they all came for the sake of the Unicorn King. Are they really all here for the daughter of the Lord of Lieyang City, the number one beauty of Lieyang City?" Xia Ming thought to himself, with some doubts in his mind. He didn't believe that a single beauty could attract so many young talents, there must be something more hidden behind this.
Xia Ming and Su Weiwei both showed a hint of solemnity in their eyes, the center and periphery of the Misty Forest were completely different, the situation inside was a bit complicated.
Although Xiaoming and Su Weiwei's goal was not the Unicorn King, Xiaoming was even less interested in the first beauty of Lieyang City, but since they came here, why not take a look.
"Alright, you go to sleep first." Xiaoming knocked out another soldier, Arnie, and woke up his companion, asking similar questions again. After finding that their answers were indeed consistent, he finally felt at ease.
"What about these two?" Su Weiwei asked.
Xia Ming's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, now that the questions had been asked, these two no longer had any need to live on. He wouldn't forget the murderous intent revealed by the three warriors when they ambushed them.
To his enemies, Xia Ming was never merciful.
Having disposed of these two warriors, the sky had already turned a dull grayish brightness, with a thread of light breaking through from the east and shining down.
Xia Ming and Su Weiwei were packing up, putting some items used last night into the spatial ring. The two were busy sorting out when they suddenly heard a fierce roar coming from afar.
"Roar!"
This loud roar shook the four directions, startling countless flying birds. The forest trembled with a burst of movement. Judging from the sound, the source of the roar was still some distance away from Xiaoming.
"This is the roar of the Unicorn Lion!" Su Weiwei made a judgment immediately, she often practiced in the mountains and forests, and was very familiar with magical beasts.
"The sound should be in a northeast direction, just don't know how far it is from us." Xia Ming also frowned and said.
"Go!"
Xia Ming and Su Wei made a swift decision and rushed towards the northeast direction of the Misty Forest at an incredibly fast speed.
The sound of the wind whizzing past his ears made Xiaoming feel a thrill, and then he heard a loud roar from the Unicorn Lion King. The Unicorn Lion King's roar was louder than its previous growls, as if it had become angrier.
The distance to the Unicorn King is getting closer and closer!
Xia Ming's eyes narrowed, and he saw several dozen figures flashing in front of him, accompanied by the whizzing sound of bows and arrows breaking through the air and a chorus of shouts.
These men were all clad in black heavy armor, with stern faces and a well-trained look, their expressions as firm as steel. The same pattern was engraved on each of their armors, apparently members of some mercenary group. But judging from their equipment and quality, ordinary mercenary groups are simply inferior to them.
The leader of these mercenaries was a young man, wearing armor and looking very heroic. He wasn't particularly tall or large in stature, but he had an extremely powerful build and stood firmly at the front.
These people held bows and arrows, some with knives and axes, lined up in a row, surrounding the fierce beast in the middle.
Unicorn King!
It was a majestic giant beast, resembling a male lion in shape, but with a layer of golden scales on its body. Each scale was as large as a bowl, and its body emitted a faint golden glow, exuding an aura of high-ranking magical beast.
This unicorn lion looks like a beast king, at least among the many demons that Xiaoming has seen, there is no demon with such a majestic momentum.
"This unicorn lion king is indeed extraordinary," Xiaoming said.
"Humans, you're invading my territory, are you looking for death?!" A thunderous roar came forth, and amidst the deafening sound, the unicorn lion king opened its bloody great maw, and astonishingly spoke human words!
"This unicorn lion king has actually opened its spiritual wisdom!" Xiaoming and Su Weiwei were both shocked, it was not impossible for a magical beast to speak human language, but it must have reached a certain level of manifestation. This kind of magical beast already belonged to the category of higher intelligent creatures, possessing intelligence that was no less than that of humans.
This monster is extremely difficult to deal with!
"The Unicorn King, in the lower Gosla, wants to borrow your horn for a use!" The young man with the leading English martial arts laughed and stared at the Unicorn King, with an undisguised killing intent bursting out of his eyes. The youth's laughter was filled with confidence, as if hunting down the Unicorn King was as easy as taking something from his pocket.
Godzilla!
Xia Ming's eyes narrowed, this wasn't what that warrior Arni said, the young commander of the Dark Night Mercenary Corps, a 6th level warrior!
No wonder he dared to challenge the Unicorn King, it turns out he has some real strength.
The unicorn lion's eyes turned cold, and it shook its massive head. Its purple eyes locked onto the young man: "Young one, there are too many humans who want to hunt me down, but unfortunately, I've torn them all apart. Humans always overestimate themselves, don't they?" The unicorn lion sneered, which made Xiaoming secretly astonished - a magical beast with opened spiritual wisdom was indeed different.
"Well, in that case, let the Lion King see if I have this power or not!" The young Gosura was confident, but facing the Unicorn Lion King, he didn't dare to be careless, and a hint of solemnity appeared in his eyes as he slowly circulated his fighting spirit.
