Chapter 68

Chapter 68 – Unicorn

During dawn, fog lingered around the forest and created a misty area . A string of red light appeared on the mountain top and the sun struggled to seep out . It sprinkled its warm and comforting radiance, dying the fog in light gold and circulating multicolored light .

The people of Stone Village had woken up a long time ago, and a group of children faced the morning light while training . They puffed out their essence energy and each of seemed as strong as a Pi Xiu youth .

The little guy sat on the side as he watched them . On the verge of leaving for a long journey, he was reluctant to go . Zi Yun, Da Peng, and Xiao Qing snuggled against his side . They were very unwilling to let him go and wanted to follow him, but he didn’t agree .

This entire journey was very dangerous . Taking him 300,000 li away, this long of a journey would pass through a great number of mountain ranges, and was filled with all types of dangers . After entering the lofty mountains, there would often be enormous figures streaking past the sky . All kinds of uncommon yet terrifying vicious birds passed by .

When the little guy went to cultivate, he personally saw a huge bird over 50 meters long streaking across the sky while spitting out flames, directly melting a mountain top into magma . Another time, he even saw a ferocious bird over 100 meters long entering the clouds to catch a Flood Dragon . He tore it into two pieces to devour it within its stomach, and blood sprinkled down onto the mountain like specks of rain .

Although Zi Yun, Da Peng and Xiao Qing weren’t ordinary and they could fly across the sky as well as hide on the ground, after all, they were still immature . If they were used as transportation in this long and endless journey, it would truly be too dangerous .

Only heaven knew what kind of fierce birds would suddenly charge out from a mountain range and rip them apart while they were still maturing .

Fierce birds could spread their wings to approach the clouds and soar between the heaven and earth . They possess extreme speed, but they were excessively eye-catching and might end up become an airborne tyrant’s hunting targeting . It was possibly even more dangerous than passing through the forest .

“Little guy, are you truly going?” The group of children stopped their training and all surrounded him .

“En!” Little Shi Hao nodded . He had already decided yesterday, and he wasn’t going to change his mind now .

“A journey of 300,000 li, so far . We’re all still so young, why are you going to such a distant place?” The child widened their eyes as this astronomical number made them feel a bit dizzy .

“When are you leaving?”

“Tomorrow!” The little aimed his gaze towards a group of unicorns . If he couldn’t soar across the sky, then using an extremely fast vicious beast as transportation wouldn’t be bad either .

“Ah, you’re going to catch a unicorn?” The group of children all exposed their excitement . They wanted to do this a long time ago, but they didn’t have enough power .

Even Shi Linghu, Shi Feijiao and those other adults were always scheming, but they didn’t dare to act blindly without thinking . With pure white bodies and flickering silver scales, those unicorns were very strong; they wouldn’t surrender to any normal person .

However, their fame didn’t come from their battle strength . Compared to their ability to rapidly travel 10,000 li in a day, that so called ‘strength’ really didn’t account for much .

The little guy stood up and identified one of the tall and spirited male unicorns . Its its body was burning with a silver fire, and its sturdy figure stood on four tall and thin legs . With eyes like crystals and a horn on its forehead, it was wrapped in silver light .

“That’s the one . ”

After little Shi Hao acquired his target, he took a detour around Stone Village and entered some shrubs in order to cut off the unicorn from the other side . The group of children all stared their eyes wide open, and held their breaths as they calmly watched .

“What are these children doing?” A group of adults were alarmed .

“What, catching a unicorn?” With a shout, a bunch of males and females came out of the village to watch from the lake side .

The little guy rushed out and appeared by some nearby shrubs, and sprinted towards the lakeside in order to surround and block the group of unicorns . He marked that particular tall target among them .

The lakeside was suddenly disturbed, and all kinds of precious birds and strange beasts perched here began to cry out at this uninvited guest . The approaching figure was full of hostility despite being so young .

The group of unicorns were startled in particular, since they were obviously an intelligent species . They still remembered the fact that the little guy once single-handedly lifted up a huge hundred thousand jin boulder by the lake . Every one of them were worried as they shined all over .

“Little guy, careful!” The villagers cried out in alarm .

The group of unicorns suddenly moved and stamped their four hooves into the the ground . Symbols interweaved all over their bodies as they all faced outward while simultaneously activating their attacks .

With a weng sound, silver like light poured down like a storm, creating a huge area of vast whiteness that was difficult to dodge . Some of the rocks on the ground had even been penetrated .

The little guy didn’t slow down, but instead spread his two arms . He rapidly streaked horizontally thirty meters forward like an eagle soaring through the sky; his movements were beautiful yet powerful . It absolutely didn’t seem like something a child could do .

“Such a fast movement technique!” Even the village elders were shocked .

This was a movement technique that the little guy had seen studying from the True Primordial Record’s ‘divine battle records’ . It was the battle spirit of a Golden Winged Peng, and that kind of mysterious movement as well as usage of symbols left him with a deep impression .

Right now, golden symbols flickered on both his arms and began to whistle like the wind . Like a Golden Winged Peng, he streaked across the sky with a beautiful appearance that contained a formidable strength .

Chi Chi…

The unicorns released a lone hiss . Their horns were shining as they all shot out beams of light formed from their symbols, striking forward . If one didn’t examine it closely, they might have thought it was actually lightning .

The little guy quickly dodged behind a boulder that weighed over ten thousand jin . However, as he leaned over, that boulder was smashed apart, causing rubble to fly into the sky .

He quickly charged toward the side in a shocking path just like a Golden Peng flying across the sky . He unexpectedly spiraled half circle in the air as he charged into the group of unicorns .

“Wow!” The group of children shouted . The little guy’s body was in the air, yet he could actually change directions . He was truly like an Archaic Divine Bird that was spreading its wings with lightning fast speed .

A wave of restlessness spread across the group of unicorns . Their hooves treaded the ground with no chance of initiating a group attack again . Their silver scales flickered all over their body as each of them held their heads and hissed while trampling forward .

“The little guy is too fast . In a short distance, he’s absolutely much faster than those unicorns . It’s simply impossible for an ordinary person to approach them, but he was actually able to charge into the herd of beasts!” admired Shi Feijiao . It would still be impossible for people like him even if their strength was drastically improved .

With an astonishing speed that surpassed the speed of those vicious beasts, the little guy entered the herd, however, it was even more dangerous now . On one side, hooves stamped over ferociously and on the other, light beams struck towards him . It was incredibly difficult to avoid .

Like the sound of a divine clock, the little guy’s entire body began to shine . Divine light transformed into symbols, and after arranging themselves in the air, they wrapped themselves around his body to block this round of incoming attacks .

“Go away!”

The little guy violently pushed, and seven to eight unicorns immediately flew out horizontally . How strong was he? Without the mysterious power of the Bone Text, a fling of his arm would be able to exert a divine power of 108000 jin . However, he didn’t deliver any killing blows, as these strange beasts were rare . In the future, if they could make them all yield, they would be an incomparably valuable treasure for the villagers .

Xiu .

The little guy rushed forwards and leapt on the back of that tall unicorn . Although it was covered densely in silver scales, there were still some silver white hair on the back of its neck . He grabbed that spot and wasn’t willing to let go even if he died .

This precious mount neighed with its resonant voice as it was reigned by the neck . Like a huge boulder, it soared into the sky . It could be called a fine and robust divine spirited horse, and it was incredibly outstanding!

“Little horse, don’t be so noisy . Go with me together to look around in the outside world . It might be greatly beneficial for your cultivation,” the little guy leaned over its ear and lightly said .

However, this unicorn went into a fit of rage . It was a vicious beast, how could it compare to ordinary horses? No matter what, it was a strange species with a speed that was extremely formidable within the mountains .

Under normal circumstances, a unicorn wasn’t a creature that a normal expert in the Blood Transformation Realm could capture . They had extraordinary strength, and dashed with a divine speed . They also inherited some simple symbols, so they were very special .

The unicorns and the scaled horses were both descendants of the Archaic Heaven Horse, and were considered the posterity of a mythological beast . Although their blood were extremely diluted, they could still show some power .

This tall unicorn violently neighed like the sound of thunder and struggled endlessly . However, under the huge strength of the little guy, its so called divine strength was too weak, and it had difficulty struggling .

Little Shi Hao exerted some strength and pushed downwards . Its head that was previously held high up in the air directly hung down . Finally, Shi Hao jumped down onto the ground, lifted it up, and charged violently out of the beast herd .

The group of unicorns were in huge disorder and neighed unceasingly, but they couldn’t do anything since the little guy was too powerful . With his boundless strength, he continuously sent ten vicious beasts flying .

“Captured alive…getting one just like that?” The group of onlookers were all dumbstruck .

The little guy made whooshing sounds as he sprinted, and directly carried a tall unicorn back . Its four hooves faced the sky, and it struggled fruitlessly .

Shi Feijiao and the others had been planning for many days, yet they still hadn’t taken any actions so they did not capture a single one . Now, the little guy did this and unexpectedly succeeded so easily .

That was a precious mount, yet it was captured so easily .

“Little guy catch a few more . ” A group of adults salivated .

“Uncle, if I catch anymore, they are going to be frightened and escape, perhaps never returning in the future . After I tame this unicorn and treat it well to make it feel our goodwill, perhaps in the future the other unicorns would see this and voluntarily approach us . ”

“Okay!”

The villagers nodded since this methods was not bad . A group of elders were all gurgling water within their mouths because they never even dreamed of possessing such a precious mount .

That day, the unicorns never stopped neighing by the beautiful lake . Although the little guy caught one, he didn’t truly tame it . It neighed non-stop as it ran wildly on the green grass .

“Little White, don’t be angry anymore . Just follow me and I’ll teach you some profound Bone Texts and in the future, genuine symbols will form on your bones and your horn . At that time, you might become like Zi Yun or Da Peng and create your own primitive precious bone . Only at that point would you truly be considered a powerful vicious beast,” advised the little guy .

Only until dusk did this tall and divine mount, a unicorn, surrender without any resistance anymore . The little guy didn’t say much and showed it a bunch of symbols right away .

“Ah, this unicorn isn’t making noise anymore?” The children all ran over in anticipation to ride it .

However, Little White almost kicked backwards into the nasally kid, and made him so scared he fell downwards onto his buttocks .

“Oh my goodness . You almost made me spout out large mouthfuls of blood . ” The nasally kid still had some lingering fear, and excessively beat his own chest .

Although this unicorn had surrendered, it didn’t allow anyone else to approach it .

The next morning, the little guy told the villagers that he was preparing to leave .

All the villagers came, including elders as old as eighty to ninety years old and babies that were still suckling on breast milk . The chief, uncles, older brothers, older sisters, and aunts all came to send him off .

“Child, don’t force yourself . If you find danger after travelling a bit, you must return . ”

“Little guy, be careful on the road, don’t show off, and protect yourself well!”

Everyone warned and urged him, and all of them were reluctant to part with him . A few aunts’ eyes even turned red . They thought back to this kid who had once drank their breast milk, and they considered him a true member of their family .

Finally, the little guy set off on his journey . He rode on the unicorn and charged into the distance as he waved goodbye behind him .

With a sou sound, a golden light rushed forth and rapidly caught up, hanging itself on the tail of the unicorn .

“Aya! Hairy Ball followed . ”

“No problem, having this little thing in the village is completely harmful . It wants to eat a large portion of Dragon Horned Elephant daily . Without the little guy, we wouldn’t be able to raise it . ”

“That’s a golden Zhuyan, perhaps it could help the little guy out a lot . ”

In the air, Zi Yun, Da Peng and Xiao Qing chirped and followed for over a hundred li to see him off . Under little Shi Hao’s constant warning, they reluctantly turned back .

“Ancient country, here I come!” The little guy told himself and clenched his fist, then he urged the unicorn on and it became a streak of silver light . It rushed into the endless mountains to traverse the mountain range before dashing into the distance .

The unicorn’s speed was truly fast, and it also had a keen perception, allowing it to avoid many dangerous vicious birds and fierce beasts . Just as noon hit, it had already sprinted a distance of three to four hundred li .

This unicorn was truly extraordinary . It pierced the valleys and climbed the mountains . When it tread on flat ground, its speed was extremely fast .

Zhizhi… Suddenly, the fist sized golden Hairy Ball began to scream . All the hair on its body stood erect, and its eyes were staring wide open as it fidgeted restlessly .

At the same time, that tender green branch of the willow tree within Stone Village flourished with light . It charged into the horizon, and its scorched black tree trunk unexpectedly also ferociously swayed . With a slight rustling noise, a large portion of its cracked old skin fell to the ground .
