Chapter 204: Chapter 144: Space Law Immortal Beast: Unicorn
"It shouldn’t."
Fang You shook his head and said, "That Demon Beast shouldn’t kill them."
"Why?"
"Those Demon Beasts seem to know we are students of the Spirit Academy, so they don’t dare to kill; they just capture them," Fang You said.
When Lin Chen heard this, he remembered.
Ever since the Celestial Realm Mountain 2.0 Treaty came out, the Human Race and Demon Race have maintained a delicate relationship.
Consider the previous Beast Tide war; the Demon Race didn’t even dare to attack the Inner Courtyards of various cities, which suggests that the Demon Race understands the implications.
The Spirit Academy, being the National Academy of the Cangling Ancient Country, would definitely not be an issue that Dubhe Pavilion would let slide.
Currently, various Demon Kings are fervently working on restricted zone constructions, so they wouldn’t dare provoke the Spirit Academy.
Even ignoring Dubhe Pavilion, the Spirit Academy is notorious for its protective nature; previously, a student offended some people and was chased all the way back to the academy.
Then that faction covertly infiltrated, directly kidnapped, but hadn’t even exited Ling Mountain City before being wiped out, their entire family uprooted.
The Spirit Academy’s rules are simple — it doesn’t meddle in worldly matters, but once inside the academy, it’s internal business.
Strictly speaking, this relic belongs to the Spirit Academy.
"You want to trade a beast for a person?" Lin Chen asked.
"No." Fang You shook his head, "The world of Demon Beasts is different from humans, adhering to the survival of the fittest principle, they wouldn’t make such a trade." He added, "At the very least, we cannot provoke them, otherwise, the lives of other students would truly be in danger."
Lin Chen thought for a moment, agreeing that it makes sense.
He told Xiaobai to hold back but said to the Level 20 leader, "Not killing beasts, but torturing a bit shouldn’t be an issue."
....
Next, the Little Fox took the stage; its power was just right, not too strong or weak, making it a perfect tool for torment.
Its Super Fireball smashed down, turning the Demon Beast’s fur black and its body smelling charred.
However, the Demon Beast never confessed why it entered here or how it got in.
"How strong is your boss, at least you can tell me that," Lin Chen asked.
Upon this inquiry, the Demon Beast got spirited and loudly proclaimed to Lin Chen that its boss was a Level 80 Great Demon.
Hearing this, Fang You’s heart skipped a beat.
"Bullshit." Lin Chen immediately had Xiao Hei slap it with a paw, saying.
The Demon Beast glared angrily, but Lin Chen said, "If a Level 80 Great Demon entered here, it would be immediately detected by the Spirit Academy, so..."
"You should’ve only sent some Little Demons in."
The Demon Beast seemed to have had its lie pierced and, agitated, revealed some information.
Lin Chen guessed correctly; this time no high-level Great Demons came in, but the Beast King’s Cub did.
"It seems your item is quite important if the Beast King’s Cub is taking the risk to come in," Lin Chen said.
The Demon Beast nearly nodded but suddenly realized and glanced at Lin Chen hostilely.
Cunning human...
You almost tricked it out.
It went silent, refusing to answer any more of Lin Chen’s questions.
Eventually, Lin Chen could only say helplessly, "Let them go."
Only then did Xiaobai let them leave; once they were gone, Lin Chen quickly got up, with Fang You tacitly following behind.
They went far, crossed a hill, and finally, after confirming no traces were left at the rear, they found a small cave hidden by grass.
Lin Chen led the Spirit Beast inside and unexpectedly found some precious herbs, including a herb that could serve as an ingredient for the Little Fox’s evolution, called the Jade Fox Stone.
If sold outside, this would likely fetch a million.
"So, as the saying goes, a blessing in disguise." Lin Chen swiftly took possession of it.
Meanwhile, Fang You seemed worried...
Lin Chen could tell, he probably wasn’t short on money.
Lin Chen and the Three Beasts made no ceremonious gestures, monopolizing the entire cave.
Fang You noticed this but didn’t mind.
He wasn’t necessarily richer; his family background was somewhat better than Lin Chen’s, but not by much.
It’s just that the current outside situation was quite dire.
A Level 30 Beast King’s Cub was beyond their capability.
"Ha~"
Just as Fang You was worrying, the Nine Tribulation Beasts beside him made a noise, causing Fang You to be overjoyed...
Next, the Nine Tribulation Beasts entered a meditation state.
Lin Chen glanced unintentionally and was stunned.
"Brother Fang, is your Spirit Beast having an epiphany?"
"Lost a match, barely made it back, so an epiphany is normal," Fang You said.
"...."
Lin Chen fell silent.
Apparently, he’s not the only one with a blessed life.
Even if he’s blessed too, it’s kind of tiring...
Unlike others, who can have an epiphany after a loss, in some place.
And then there’s that person who found a Phoenix while shopping...
Lin Chen was envious from the bottom of his heart.
....
The Nine Tribulation Beasts needed to close in meditation, so Fang You had no intention of leaving, but he kept a keen watch outside.
"Don’t worry, this place should be safe, and besides, we don’t have what the Demon Beasts want," Lin Chen said. "This Secret Realm lasts a month, and after that, the Spirit Academy’s instructors will open the Secret Realm, and we’ll be saved."
"Since those Demon Beasts know they’re from the Spirit Academy, they won’t kill humans or beasts."
Fang You thought about it and agreed, reluctantly. Unexpectedly, Lin Chen added, "It’s just unfortunate about the treasure here, I wonder if once we get out, the Spirit Academy will compensate for it, otherwise it’s too much of a loss."
Upon hearing this, the Three-Headed Spirit Beast also looked worried.
Fang You’s mouth twitched, thinking Lin Chen had quite a big heart, thinking about this when the situation outside was complex.
Between the two men, Fang You spoke even less than Ning Tian, so there wasn’t much to discuss.
