Chapter 207: Chapter 145: Bai Ling’s Three Spirit Beasts
Bai Ling was taken aback for a moment, then quickly nodded.
In fact, the appearance of the Calamity-Devouring Beast was indeed quite unremarkable. Many people laughed at it when they saw it, but Bai Ling thought it was incredibly cute.
Lin Chen’s first target was also it.
He was very curious in his heart, wondering if this creature was really a Pixiu.
He immediately placed his hand on it, and saw a set of strange data:
[Calamity-Devouring Beast]
[Dominant Bloodline: Calamity-Devouring Beast 23.4%]
[Hidden Bloodline: 1%]
[Polluted Bloodline: 75.6%]
Lin Chen was speechless.
The bloodline of the Calamity-Devouring Beast was really peculiar.
No wonder it was known as one of the worst Spirit Beasts.
"Not bad." Lin Chen touched it, then immediately let go.
He wasn’t lying—he really did believe it was a true Pixiu.
Even though it only had a 1% chance of evolving, who could guarantee it wouldn’t evolve successfully?
In terms of probability theory, before success is achieved, 1% and 99% are effectively the same.
Lin Chen then turned his attention to the chicken.
This chicken was bright red in color, with its head held high...
It was apparent that this was an arrogant chicken.
"Chicky, let him touch you," Bai Ling soothed.
The chicken narrowed its eyes to glance at Lin Chen, but its gaze was unfriendly.
Lin Chen placed his hand on it.
[Red Feather Chicken]
[Dominant Bloodline: Red Feather Chicken 40%]
[Hidden Bloodline: 50%]
[Polluted Bloodline: 10%]
Lin Chen’s pupils widened.
Exceptional.
Truly exceptional.
No wonder that even in its high-level Mortal Beast form, it could display a phantom of a Phoenix.
This Fire Attribute chicken was bound to become a Phoenix in the future, even if Bai Ling used the lowest-level evolution materials on it.
However, right now it was still a Red Feather Chicken, so its essence blood couldn’t be used as a medicinal guide.
But Lin Chen still effortlessly found a soft feather on the chicken, and plucked it gently...
"Cluck cluck cluck!!!!"
The chicken immediately felt pain and was about to fly.
However, the pain from plucking a feather was fleeting, although the chicken was ready for battle as it stared at Lin Chen.
"I saw a feather that looked damaged, so I helped you pluck it," Lin Chen casually came up with an excuse, but the chicken continued to stare unkindly at him.
Bai Ling quickly came forward to soothe it.
Lin Chen finally looked at the Unicorn, noting that its vigilance was much higher than that of the other two Spirit Beasts.
This kind of Spirit Beast is generally either fleeing or on the run, so its instincts were highly alert.
Lin Chen reached out and placed his hand on its back.
The Unicorn’s body was fleshy, warm, and quite comfortable to the touch.
Lin Chen was very much looking forward to it.
Legend has it that the Unicorn could be classified as a Mortal Beast or an Immortal Beast.
[Unicorn]
[Dominant Bloodline: Unicorn 100%]
[Hidden Bloodline: None]
[Polluted Bloodline: None]
Lin Chen was even more surprised than before; did this 100% Unicorn bloodline prove something?
Was this Unicorn truly an Immortal Beast?
Because only by evolving into an Immortal Beast could other impurities be removed.
Lin Chen let go and once again looked at Bai Ling’s Three-Headed Spirit Beast, feeling emotional inside.
The three Spirit Beasts, each one of them peculiar.
However, indeed a life of a winner.
"Indeed cute," Lin Chen said.
Bai Ling, who had just finished soothing the Red Feather Chicken, also smiled upon hearing this.
Lin Chen didn’t continue to bother them, found a corner to keep the feather, and then took a nap for a while.
This cave was well-hidden and shouldn’t be discovered.
He didn’t know how long he had slept before suddenly opening his eyes, his heart starting to feel restless.
"What’s wrong?" Fang You asked.
The Nine Tribulation Beasts had already awakened, and leveled up to Level 25.
Lin Chen didn’t answer him but went straight to the Unicorn, asking, "Do you have any marks on you? For instance, a Spiritual Mark?"
The Unicorn shook its head.
It was Fang You who said, "That’s right, isn’t the Unicorn supposed to break through space? We could directly break through and return to the Spirit Academy."
Lin Chen sighed and said, "If it could be done that way, I would have done it already."
"If it were an adult Unicorn, it could do that naturally, but this one is only Level 16. Performing a dig once requires a long rest period."
According to the books, the Unicorn has this special ability, and naturally, it is extremely powerful.
But there must be many restrictions.
Bai Ling also inquired with the Unicorn, and indeed received the same answer as Lin Chen had said.
The Unicorn told Bai Ling it was currently very weak and couldn’t dig through the relic’s space barrier.
Currently, it could at most dig a space tunnel about 10 meters long, and it would only last for three seconds.
"How long to recover?" Lin Chen asked.
After Bai Ling inquired, she looked up and said, "Twenty days."
"Twenty days..." Lin Chen breathed out. By that time, the academy’s tutors may have already reopened the relic entrance.
So, saying it was akin to saying nothing.
The Unicorn was clearly not certain if there was a Spiritual Mark, so Lin Chen could only have Xiaobai take action.
"Try looking, just like the elder did," Lin Chen began to guide.
While Xiaobai could not compare to Qin Shaoshao, Xiaobai had once been marked with a Spiritual Mark by Qin Shaoshao, so it should be able to detect it.
Xiaobai imitated Qin Shaoshao’s action, placing a hoof on the Unicorn’s back and closing its eyes.
Lin Chen watched in silence until Xiaobai opened its eyes, its pupils immediately focusing.
"Moo~~"
Xiaobai told Lin Chen it indeed found a Spiritual Mark.
"Bad news..."
Lin Chen felt a headache coming on.
The most feared thing had still occurred.
The methods of these Great Demons were astounding; leaving a Spiritual Mark wasn’t impossible.
Bai Ling was so frightened her face turned pale, while Fang You remained quite calm.
"Brother Fang, what kind of species was the Demon Beast King’s Cub you encountered previously?"
"A wolf..." Fang You thought for a moment, then added, "It should be a Ghost Hunting Wolf."
Ghost Hunting Wolf, a Sacred Beast quality Demon Beast.
The characteristics of this Demon Beast were that it liked to be active at night, and some even called them the Masters of the Night.
At night, its combat power would greatly increase.
Lin Chen looked at Bai Ling and asked, "When did you discover it?"
Bai Ling recalled for a bit, then said, "Today during the day."
"It seems that right now, it’s not that they haven’t found us because of your luck, but because the time hasn’t entered the night yet..."
As Lin Chen spoke, his voice became lower and lower.
This was suffocating news.
Night was about to fall, and perhaps the opponent was either preparing to come or was already on their way.
Bai Ling’s heart started to become unsettled.
Meanwhile, Lin Chen and Fang You needed to reconsider whether or not to take on this heroic challenge.
As they contemplated, a wolf’s howl came from outside, causing Lin Chen and Fang You to exchange exasperated smiles.
No need to consider further now...
The opponent had arrived.
"Well then," Lin Chen said, "the Unicorn concerns the great fortune of the Human Race, so as long as there’s no life-threatening danger, we still need to give it a try."
Fang You also nodded.
Having made up their minds, Lin Chen no longer hesitated and led the group outside.
Outside, they indeed saw many Demon Beasts surrounding them.
Leading them was a Ghost Hunting Wolf Beast King’s Cub, and as soon as Lin Chen and the others appeared, it fixed its gaze on Bai Ling’s direction.
It was clear Lin Chen had guessed correctly; it was after the Unicorn.
"Awoo~~"
The Ghost Hunting Wolf began to approach, extending its hand to signal Bai Ling to hand over the Unicorn.
The Unicorn nestled tightly in Bai Ling’s arms while she comforted it.
She knew she couldn’t stop the Ghost Hunting Wolf, and only Lin Chen and Fang You could help her...
So Bai Ling secretly vowed that if they could successfully save the Unicorn, she would divide all her assets from the academy between the two of them, including the three-piece set of medicinal herbs obtained from the Spirit Academy.
Just as the Ghost Hunting Wolf was closing in, a cow stopped in the middle of the path.
The Ghost Hunting Wolf paused, revealing its fangs.
A Level 23 Plowhorn Beast dared to block its way.
But soon, another beast joined in—it was the Nine Tribulation Beast.
Seeing this, the Ghost Hunting Wolf grinned, waved a large hand, and the surrounding beast horde advanced aggressively, trapping them in the center.
The implication was clear...
In terms of numbers, you are far behind.
