Leon waited for a long time, but the creature over there still maintained a certain distance, neither too close nor far away, at most disappearing from his perception for a moment, but quickly reappeared.
The young man's curiosity was piqued, and he wanted to go over to find out what kind of creature it was, and what purpose of its stay was there. However, the situation was unclear at the moment, and he did not think that a horse would be in any danger, so he decided not to disturb his sleeping companion until he checked the situation himself.
He stepped out of the tent, the flames of the campfire were much smaller, but they still lit up the entire camp.
Yelena immediately appeared in front of him and asked in a low voice, "My lord, what's wrong?"
"It's all right," said Leon, "I'll leave for a while, and when I get back, you can go and rest, and Melissa and I will be on guard in the middle of the night." ”
Yelena retreated silently, while Leon slowly walked out of the camp and into the darkness that the fire could not penetrate.
As he approached halfway through, the creature seemed to notice something, and it still didn't leave, but took a few steps backwards in Leon's direction.
If Li Ang had rushed over from now on, the remaining twenty meters could be said to be in the blink of an eye, but he gave up this idea after thinking about it, and kept his speed and slowly approached.
The creature continued to retreat, too, but much slower than Leon. So after a few moments, he saw the whole picture of the other party.
It was indeed a horse, and judging by its size, it should still be a juvenile pony, to Leon's surprise. In the midst of this darkness, the pony's body was covered with a glimmer of light, so that it could be seen quite clearly that its appearance and pure white complexion could be seen.
But that's not the most amazing part, Leon then saw the pony's head, where there was a long, spiral-like sharp horn!
“...... Unicorn?" He immediately recognized the other party's identity and couldn't help but gasp.
There have been many legends of unicorns in previous lives, but they should have been fictional. After arriving in this world, when he was studying alchemy, he had read a lot of information about rare creatures, and thus learned about the existence of unicorns. However, it is quite rare, and no one has seen it for a long time.
Unicorns are very powerful creatures, they are full of divine power from birth, so the strength of young unicorns is equivalent to the third order. When you reach adulthood, you can even confront the powerhouses of the middle and upper levels of the fourth order alone, and you will not fall behind at all.
And in those books that Leon has read. Unicorns are full of treasures, the powder from their horns is the best ingredient in the "Body of Steel" potion, the blood can be used to increase the effect of the "Fury" potion, and the teeth, hair, and various organs are also quite rare materials that can be used in all professions such as alchemy, enchantment, and blacksmithing.
At that time, Li Ang was still quite emotional, because he knew that the unicorn was strong and had a long lifespan, hundreds of years in his infancy. It would not be possible that there would be such a scarce number of them unless there were no contingencies. Therefore, it is highly likely that the unicorn is full of rare materials, and this characteristic is the "culprit" that leads to their decreasing numbers. Maybe after a while, there will never be a unicorn in this world again.
Thinking of the cruel fact that in the previous life, some people hunted these creatures uncontrollably for the benefit of organs such as ivory, bear bile, deer antler velvet, and tiger bones, so that their numbers were close to endangerment in a short period of time, and even some of them were extinct, Leon was quite sympathetic to the almost identical plight of the unicorns.
However, at this moment he saw one in the depths of the Black Forest, and it was still a minor, and the young man's mind immediately began to struggle.
He didn't want to turn unicorns into alchemy materials, although those alchemy potions were top-notch products, but in terms of his character, he really couldn't do anything about this kind and almost extinct creature.
In fact, his first instinct was to tame it, the unicorn is not only powerful, but also has good healing and detoxification abilities, if it can follow around like the ape Lulu, it will be enjoyable to think about, and it will also prevent it from being caught by other people with malicious intentions. But at the same time, he also knows that unicorns are creatures that love freedom, so they are quite difficult to tame, and if they really want to, it is impossible to contact them for a long time.
After a while, all kinds of difficulties in actual existence made his excitement slowly calm down, Leon decided to ignore this unicorn for the time being, now his primary goal is to get the Heroic Soul equipment first, and then take everyone to the edge of the Great Wasteland, and wait for Sophia to wake up before making plans, anyway, when he comes back, he still has to pass through here, if he and this unicorn really have a fate, it is not too late to try it again.
Leon slowly raised his hand, and the young unicorn straightened up as if he was frightened when he saw his movements, but the young man just waved his hand slightly, regardless of whether the other party understood it or not, and said, "Little friend, are your parents not there? The Black Forest is dangerous, you should be careful." ”
"Then I'll go first, and I'll come back to you after a while if I have the chance. ”
The young man had the attitude of laying the foundation first, and his voice was very soft and quite anthropomorphic, but fortunately there was no one else around, otherwise he might not be able to speak.
Now that he has decided, he will not delay any longer, after all, the distance between him and the camp has exceeded the range of the battlefield map, and if he does not go back quickly, he will not be at ease.
Leon turned to leave after speaking, and suddenly the voice of a little girl appeared in his head.
"You...... Are you human? ...... Have you ever met my mother?"
The young man Huo Ran turned his head and looked at the unicorn in a daze, and only after a moment did he come to his senses and try to ask, "Just now...... Are you talking?"
The juvenile unicorn was no taller than Leon's nose, so the distance was just enough to make eye contact with it, and its sapphire-like eyes were so clear that the young man couldn't help but marvel.
However, after waiting for several minutes to no avail, just when Leon almost thought it was an auditory hallucination, the voice reappeared.
"Yes, it's me, are you human?"
Li Ang suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and nodded vigorously. If the unicorn could communicate directly with him with his mind, it would be possible to bring it back.
"You...... Have you seen my mother?" asked the unicorn after taking a few steps forward and repeating it. (To be continued......)
