The unicorn turned into its original form, and its eyes bloomed with golden glow as it looked at the forest shrouded in miasma.

I saw that the dense trees were shrouded in a faint blue light, the branches and leaves of the trees were yellow, the flowers and plants were withered, and there was no living thing in the forest.

"I don't see the murderer. Kirin frowned.

"Shall I try a spell?"

"Try it. ”

Qingqiu soared into the air, and recited in his mouth, "The source of all things, the beginning of delusion! The light of the gods, shining on the world! The wind obeys my command, the water accompanies the stars! The glacier is broken!" I saw a large Xiaoice ball, like a heavenly river rushing and smashing into the forest shrouded in miasma.

"Crackling. The miasma churned violently under the impact of the glacier, and after a moment it returned to normal.

"It's a strange place, not even a leaf has fallen. Kirin was puzzled.

"The old lady doesn't believe it, come again!" Qingqiu closed his eyes and frantically called the purple ice sea in the soul sea.

"The essence of water, listen to my orders, the mask of flesh and blood, Vientiane flutters its wings and flies, crowns my name, carves the Buddha lotus on the wall of extreme cold, hovers between the distant firmament, the purple abyss blooms, and a thousand ice lotus falls!"

The sky where Qingqiu is located is suddenly covered with dark clouds, and the dense clouds continue to shrink and collapse above Qingqiu, forming a huge funnel shape, and purple lotus flowers bloom in the sky, and the water vapor in the dark clouds gradually gathers towards the ice lotus, wrapping a layer of invisible ripples outside the purple ice lotus, and the ice lotus slowly floats towards the forest wrapped in miasma.

As if frightened, the miasma rolled violently, forming a monster in the shape of an elephant's trunk, rhinoceros, oxtail, and tiger's feet.

"It's me, stop!" the monster shouted.

"Dream tapir (Note 1)?" exclaimed Kirin.

"I can't take it, you ask for a blessing. Qingqiu angrily broke away from his Ice Lotus range.

"Golden Essence, return to me quickly, the Twelve Heavens Style, Emperor!" the Qilin hurriedly shouted, and he cast a shield on the Dream Tapir and stayed away from it.

Because Qingqiu's technique locked the dream tapir's qi engine, the dream tapir could not escape. He built a dream barrier on his body.

After a loud "crackling" sound, the previous forest was blasted into a huge deep pit, and I saw the dream tapir in the pit paralyzed on the ground and dying.

"It's too ruthless. The tapir said before falling unconscious.

"Hmph! vulnerable!" Qingqiu said angrily.

"You had a holiday with it?" Qilin said curiously.

"Hmm. ”

"Do you think it's going too well? Kirin thought with a frown.

Qingqiu walked up to the Qilin and said, "What's going well, I'm still suffering a lot of vitality!"

"Oops, you forgot your osmanthus cake in a restaurant. Qilin suddenly shouted.

"It's okay, let's grab the tapir and make it swear to follow us, and then we'll go back and get it. Qingqiu said happily.

"Huh" I saw the Qilin holding a huge golden gun in both hands and stabbing into Qingqiu's body, at this time Qingqiu's face was pale, and blood overflowed from his mouth, "Why?"

"Because you're not Qingqiu at all. Kirin snapped.

Qingqiu's complexion changed, gradually distorted, and her whole body became uncoordinated, and she slowly dissipated into clouds of gray smoke.

"Haha, the imperial envoy is really not simple, see you soon. An ethereal voice came into Qilin's ears.

The unicorn suddenly found himself covered in charms, clinging to a dead tree.

"it, Dream Tapir, don't let me catch you!" I saw a rope tied to the tail of Qingqiu, who was covered in charms, and the rope dangled her upside down on a huge branch.

The Kirin struggled to his feet and took off the charm on his body and breathed down.

"Hey, aren't you going to let me down?" Qingqiu scolded angrily.

"Oh, wait a minute. Ignoring Qingqiu's anger, Kirin checked the items on his body on his own.

"Be quiet, have you ever found that your memories are missing?" Qilin pondered with his eyes closed.

"I, I seem to have forgotten something, but I don't know what it is. Qingqiu tried to recall.

Kirin put Qingqiu down and said solemnly, "We must have forgotten something very important. ”

"Ah, what is it?" Qingqiu wondered.

"Let's talk to each other about what happened when we met until now. Qilin looked at Qingqiu in a daze.

"That's all there is to it. ”

The two began to tell each other all the experiences and speculations from the beginning of the Supo world to the present, but in the end, they could not know what their lost memories were.

"Hey, no matter, let's continue our journey to the Crescent Forest, no matter what the memories we have lost, we will understand when we catch the dream tapir in the end. Qingqiu comforted.

"That's all there is to it. Let's go. Kirin replied lonely.

The two took off into the air and flew south.

Inside the Xuanwu Palace

"Your Highness, there is an anomaly in the dragon world. Bi Fang knelt in front of Suzaku and said respectfully.

"I know. Suzaku stretched out his jade arm to support the gilded armrest, gently supporting his chin, and his eyes were misty.

"Did it go according to plan?" for example, looking up at the beautiful face in front of him.

"A tapir is neither a good man nor a bad man. Anyway. ”

Bi Fang frowned and asked, "Then it's okay for the Dream Tapir to know about the Heavenly Emperor?"

"It doesn't matter. Suzaku seemed to have a tear in his eyes.

Suddenly, a white light flashed, and a white light and shadow appeared behind Bi Fang.

Qinglong handed over the prayer post, wanting to meet Xuanwu face-to-face. ”

"Tell you, I'm sick, see you again. Suzaku said in a deep voice.

"Okay. ”

Kirin looked at the city in front of him and frowned.

The narrow streets, littered with garbage and all sorts of indescribable objects show the characteristics of orcs, and the tattered plaques on both sides of the streets are mixed with all kinds of foul language, and the stalls scattered everywhere and all kinds of strange orcs are tiresome.

"Are you sure you want to spend the night here, rather than travel overnight?" asked Aooka as Kirin covered his mouth.

Qingqiu felt very curious and walked around the street, "Didn't that fire dragon say that the orcs are very friendly to us? It will be safe to stay here tonight, I am a little afraid of what the dream tapir will do." ”

Kirin followed Qingqiu to a slightly cleaner-looking restaurant and sat down.

Qingqiu looked at the menu on the wall and ordered a big meal. The surrounding orcs all looked at the two of them with strange eyes.

Qingqiu smiled and greeted, "Eight Grid Tooth Road!"

Suddenly, the noisy hotel fell silent.

"You're all eight-squares!" a bear man waved at the two of them with a large mace. All the orcs in the hotel got up and grabbed the weapons they had with them and rushed towards the two of them.

"Aren't we friendly?" Aooka was still puzzled.

"Bang!" the unicorn helped Qingqiu block a stick and pulled Qingqiu to flee.

"We were put on the red dragon's side. Kirin said loudly.

"Damn! the old lady should have killed him today!" Qingqiu took off into the air and flew towards the north.

"What are you doing?" Qilin was startled and grabbed the angry Qingqiu.

"The old lady wants to kill him!"

"I'll talk about it when I come back. We've got business to do!"

Note 1: Dream tapir (mèng mò) is a mythical beast in ancient times, specifically referring to a fantasy creature. Legend has it that they feed on dreams, devour dreams, and can also recreate devoured dreams.

There is no accurate conclusion on the origin of the dream tapir, and one theory comes from the "Classic of Mountains and Seas". However, there is no record of tapirs in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", so it is purely speculative to think that the legend of the dream tapir originated from the "Classic of Mountains and Seas".
