Chapter 163: Rui Beast Qilin
After confirming that Yu Qingwu was not a monster, the villagers couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but the little red next to Yu Qingwu was really hideous, but the beast body could speak human language, and they still didn't dare to approach it. The black-faced middle-aged man glanced at Xiao Hong, who showed a mouthful of big white teeth, shrank his head, looked at Yu Qingwu and said, "Less...... Shaoxia, the water unicorn is a holy relic, where are we lucky enough to see it among the rural savages?"
It is rumored that there is a close relationship between the water unicorn and the emperor of Tianding, the emperor of Tianding is out, it is in the world, and the emperor of Tianding is not out, it will be hidden. And those who are lucky enough to see the water unicorn are generally people who are so blessed, and not everyone who wants to see them can see them.
Hearing the words of the black-faced middle-aged man, Yu Qingwu smiled bitterly, and was about to turn around and go into the sea with Xiaohong to look for it, but the black-faced middle-aged man said: "Young man, please stay!"
"What's wrong?" Yu Qingwu looked back and wondered.
The middle-aged Qiang smiled to himself and said, "Although we haven't seen the water qilin with our own eyes, I have heard that someone has seen it in recent years!"
"Really?" As soon as he heard the middle-aged man say that someone had seen the water qilin, Yu Qingwu hurriedly turned around, grabbed the middle-aged man's shoulder and said, "Where is it?"
"Oops......"
How great is Yu Qingwu's strength, and how can it be borne by a mere mortal? The black-faced middle-aged man only felt that there was a mountain pressing on his left shoulder, and he involuntarily bent down. Seeing this, Yu Qingwu hurriedly put away his strength and injected a trace of mana into the black-faced middle-aged man to run his whole body.
In an instant, a stream of heat flowed through the black-faced middle-aged man's body, not only the pain in his left shoulder disappeared, but even some of the dark diseases in the past years disappeared. After Yu Qingwu withdrew his hand, he hurriedly leaned down and wanted to kneel down to thank him, but before he knelt down, Yu Qingwu helped him up.
"The immortal god can do it, the villain is very grateful!" The black-faced middle-aged man who realized the mystery of the mystery couldn't kneel, so he had to cry in gratitude to Yu Qingwu.
Yu Qingwu waved his hand and smiled: "It's also the boy's fault, I can't help but let the uncle almost get hurt." After a pause, he stared at the middle-aged man and said, "Please also ask the uncle to tell me where the water unicorn is!"
The middle-aged man nodded and said: "Ten years ago, after a person from Zeng Wai Village went to sea, he encountered a storm and waves, and just when he was about to die of a shipbreaker, a blue divine beast came from the sky, stopped the wind and waves, and made that person pick up a life. In the days that followed, some people successively encountered such a divine beast that helped people get out of trouble, and those who witnessed the appearance of the divine beast narrated, and some old people knew that the so-called divine beast was the holy water unicorn!"
The water unicorn has the air of an emperor and the heart of an emperor, and does not feed on people like other demon beasts, but often helps the protagonists of heaven and earth, so it is called a sacred beast and an auspicious beast, especially in the eyes of these mortals, its status is even higher than that any demon beast can match, even if the dragon and phoenix are slightly inferior.
"How many times has the water unicorn appeared in the past ten years?" Yu Qingwu's face was full of excitement, and he almost caught middle age again.
"Yes!" At this time, an old man cautiously stepped forward, glanced at Xiao Hong, who was lying on the sand and yawning, and then looked at Yu Qingwu and said, "Over the years, several people have seen the water unicorn near Crescent Island. ”
"In the past, the wind and waves were high due to the special shape of the island, so even though there were many fish and shrimp there, few people went there to fish. But since the water unicorn visited there ten years ago, there are many fewer sea breezes and whirlpools in the nearby waters, and as the water unicorn appears more and more often, the danger there is getting lower and lower, and gradually many people go there to fish. ”
"Crescent Island ......"
Yu Qingwu muttered softly, he didn't have a floating disc, and it was impossible to know all the geographical conditions of Lu Dao, so he asked the old man: "Old man, where is this Crescent Island?"
"It's been a thousand years to go out to sea from here. The well-informed old man gave the address of Crescent Island, and then asked: "Do you want to go to Crescent Island?" In a few days, a few people from our village will go to the waters near Crescent Island to fish.
Hearing the old man's invitation to go to sea together, Yu Qingwu hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't bother you, after a long time, the kid will leave!" After speaking, without waiting for any reaction from everyone, he grabbed Xiaohong's tail, which was already asleep, and spread the golden light, turning into a golden streamer and attacking the place where the water and the sky meet.
For mortals, if they sail a ship thousands of miles away, it will take a few days at the fastest if it is downwind, but for a cultivator like Yu Qingwu, it will only take a meal. Xiao Hong, who was awakened by Yu Qingwu, muttered something, shook her body and turned into wings, carrying Yu Qingwu and flying forward.
After a stick of incense, an island appeared in front of the boundless sea. The island was narrow at both ends and wide in the middle, and the two ends were slightly curved to resemble a crescent moon, and it was surrounded by dense reefs, and it was expected that there were many reefs underneath, which were indeed not safe for mortals who came to fish.
At this time, there are some people fishing nearby, but they are all tens or hundreds of miles away from Crescent Island, so they will not touch those reefs.
"There are spiritual power fluctuations!"
When he was only more than ten miles away from Crescent Island, Yu Qingwu showed a hint of joy on his face. He had already seen that the sea breeze was deflected by Crescent Island, and he had an impression of the eastern seas, but the sea breeze was imprisoned within a radius of twenty miles by a vague spiritual power, which was very consistent with the description of the villagers in the seaside fishing village, in other words, they said that the water unicorn that encountered the wind and waves near here should be correct!
"On the island?" asked Xiaohong, who was thousands of feet tall above the sea.
Yu Qingwu shook his head and said, "Don't worry, fly around the island first, and then go to the island." "If there are also spiritual power fluctuations on the other side of the island, then it is almost certain that everything here is done by the Water Qilin.
Hearing Yu Qingwu's words, Xiaohong immediately flapped her wings, and her body shot out like an arrow from a string, and circled around Crescent Island.
When you get closer, you can see the cliffs on both sides of the island, like a knife and an axe to chop through, on the hard rocks, but there are dense trees, for the late summer and early autumn season, many places have a little autumn, but here is full of green, it is really rare.
After going around the island and feeling the same spiritual power fluctuations, Yu Qingwu said excitedly: "Xiaohong, go to the island!"
Swish......
As soon as he finished speaking, a man and a beast fell into the dense forest like a meteor.
On the island, the dense foliage blocks the sunlight, making the forest look a little dark, and the place is in the middle of the sea, the air is inevitably humid, but it feels a little cold.
Yu Qingwu carefully checked whether there were any hoof prints of a unicorn on the ground, and said to Xiaohong beside him: "You are a beast, your nose is very smart, smell whether there is the breath of a water unicorn." ”
"I'm Qiqi, not a dog......," Xiaohong muttered, but it was greeted by a glare from Yu Qingwu, who quickly shrank its head and said, "Even if I have a smart nose, I have never met a water qilin, where do I know what kind of water qilin should taste!"
There are indeed records of demon beasts such as the Water Qilin in its inheritance memory, but after all, it has not really encountered the Water Qilin, so it is impossible to trace it.
"Okay, then look at the ground for hoof prints. Yu Qingwu said helplessly, and then one man and one beast searched carefully.
After a while, Xiaohong suddenly exclaimed, ran a few feet to the side, raised her paw and pointed to the ground, looked back at Yu Qingwu and said, "I found it, there are footprints here!"
Hearing Xiaohong say that he had found the footprints of the water qilin, Yu Qingwu hurriedly ran over, but when he saw the so-called 'water qilin footprints', he rolled his eyes and was speechless: "I said Qi Qi, one of the four fierce men, do you know what kind of footprints the Qilin is?" After a pause, he pointed to the three-finger-sized and shallow footprints on the ground and said, "This is obviously the footprints of the dog, and the feet of the unicorn are hooves." It's about the same as a cow's hoof!"
The land on the island is wet and soft, leaving a lot of beast footprints, Yu Qingwu himself has seen no less than ten types of beast footprints, but none of them can match the unicorn. When Xiaohong said that he saw it, he really took it seriously, but he didn't expect that it was a dog's paw print in the end!
"Ahh
Seeing this, Yu Qingwu shook his head and smiled, and began to look for the unicorn's hoof prints again.
It didn't take long for Xiaohong's exclamation voice to come again: "Come here, come here, come here!"
"This time, it is estimated that it is not a dog's paw print, but a monkey's paw print. Yu Qingwu whispered, although she didn't believe that Xiaohong had really found the Qilin footprints 'again', but she still walked towards Xiaohong.
When he came to Xiaohong's side, he followed Xiaohong's paws and pointed at it, only to see a few hoof prints on the ground that could be an inch deep and almost the size of a basin. Each footprint is divided into three parts, the left and right lobes are fan-shaped, and the back is a small hole, and the whole footprint looks like an enlarged version of the cow's hoof print!
It is rumored that the unicorn is born from the combination of a dragon and an ox, so it has the characteristics of a dragon and the characteristics of a cow, it is the head of a dragon, the body of an elk, the scales of a dragon, the tail of a horse, and the hooves of a cow. In other words, the hoof print in front of you is most likely the hoof print of the unicorn!
When Yu Qingwu identified whether the footprint was a unicorn hoof print, Xiaohong raised her paw and put it on it, the two were about the same size, but the shape was completely different, after all, it resembled a tiger, and the soles of its feet were similar to that of a tiger.
Seeing this, it smacked its lips and said: "This should be the footprints of the Qilin, look at its footprints are about the same size as mine, and the size should be about the same, which means that it should be almost the same as my cultivation, and it may be slightly taller than me." ”
"That's right, nine times out of ten, it's the unicorn's hoof print, and its cultivation should be similar to yours!" Yu Qingwu's eyes were burning, and it was difficult to hide a trace of excitement in his eyes. The water unicorn that has been cultivated for about a thousand years, although it may not be easy to deal with, but it is not impossible to win, after all, today's Xiaohong is not what it used to be, as one of the four fierce ones, if it bursts out with a body of combat power, it will not be weaker than those demon beasts that have been cultivated for thousands of years!
