Chapter 206: Chapter 144: Space Law Immortal Beast: Unicorn 3
She swallowed and looked at Lin Chen and Fang You, saying, "You guys aren’t going to take this from me, are you?"
"...."
Lin Chen and Fang You were speechless.
Unicorns can’t be taken forcefully, as these Spirit Beasts are naturally spiritual and either remain wild or choose their own masters.
If it doesn’t fancy you, it won’t choose you.
Seeing that the two weren’t competing for it, Bai Ling was overjoyed and thanked them repeatedly.
The three sat down, and Lin Chen asked Bai Ling if she was from South City.
"Yes, otherwise I wouldn’t have gone to Jiuxing City to play before." Bai Ling nodded.
After confirming the answer, Lin Chen fell silent again.
Today’s blows were significant enough.
First, a Nine Tribulation Beast that achieves enlightenment when facing a calamity, then a sickly girl who roams around and consistently encounters exotic beasts...
Her luck was truly remarkable.
For the third time, Lin Chen looked at the Calamity-Devouring Beast.
It’s pretty much certain; this girl really made a pact with an actual Pixiu.
Thinking back, it’s thanks to this Calamity-Devouring Beast that they didn’t encounter any Demon Beasts along the way.
Moreover...
This Calamity-Devouring Beast can even find her helpers.
Lin Chen admitted, at this moment, he felt a bit envious.
However, after pondering, he said to Fang You:
"Now we can solve the case."
"I thought of it too."
Fang You gave a wry smile, understanding it as well.
How the Demon Beasts got in and what they’re looking for—
The answer lies in this Unicorn.
....
Clearly, this Unicorn was chased by Demon Beasts, then fled here, bringing all those Demon Beasts with it.
But the Demon Beast King probably knew this was the Spirit Academy, so it didn’t enter personally and instead let the Demon Beast King’s Cub take the risk and come in.
Because no matter the era, Unicorns, once appearing, are always highly sought after, since space-type Spirit Beasts are extremely rare.
If the Demon Race had such a Spirit Beast, they could freely tread on the Human Race’s secret grounds.
The Unicorn, although excellent at creating space holes, only knows one move, has no attack skills, and is very easy to control.
Bai Ling immediately understood the severity of the situation. The Unicorn is of immense importance, and if discovered, they would surely face lethal threats.
"Xiu Xiu, Ji Ji, Jiaojiao, let’s go." Bai Ling turned back to speak to the three Spirit Beasts.
She really wanted to stay, but she also knew it would cause trouble for the two of them.
Fang You said nothing; Lin Chen, however, spoke as she was about to walk to the cave entrance, "Now that you’re here, you might as well stay."
Bai Ling turned back, her eyes looking at Lin Chen, tearful...
It turns out she wasn’t wrong about him; Lin Chen really is a good person.
Lin Chen sighed.
It wasn’t that his compassion was overflowing, but he thought of the Beast Tide in Jiuxing City.
The human-beast war resulted in too many deaths.
If the Demon Race could tear up the treaty once, they could tear it up a second time. These peaceful years, to put it bluntly, are just a period of cost accumulation between the Human Race and Demon Race.
If the Unicorn were to be seized by the Demon Race, it would not be a good thing.
Also, Bai Ling isn’t completely useless; while this girl has less combat strength than a chicken, she possesses something Lin Chen values.
Luck...
It seems that this girl’s luck is exceptionally good.
So good that Lin Chen was speechless because of it.
Moreover, even if it really got exposed and couldn’t be kept safe in the end, they could just give it to the other side.
In short, as long as lives weren’t at stake, Lin Chen was willing to take a gamble.
Bai Ling sat down and took out some sweets to share with the two, saying she made them herself.
While eating the sweets, Lin Chen kept staring at her three-headed Spirit Beast...
Especially at that chicken.
It reminded him of Lee Zhen’s arm.
After pondering for a while, he said to Bai Ling:
"I see your three Spirit Beasts are exceptionally cute; can I pet one?"
