The Creators: From Night City

Among all the Ain'El, the knights and soldiers who, in ghostly form, plunder the populations of various worlds are known as the Wild Hunt. Our true enemy is the entire Ain'El race: their mages, technicians, commoners, warriors, rulers, and ambitious individuals.

[Those elven sages who stood at the pinnacle of their race, those great armies that fought against the White Frost, those who were the oldest of the race of the Ain El.]

The King of Unicorns spoke as he walked, and the top horn on his head emitted a dazzling light, acting as a light. Of course, the most important purpose was to verify the disabling of many defensive magic prohibitions.

As a race that has been fighting against Ain El for a long time, the unicorns are not as simple as they seem.

As the other party spoke, the secrets of the unicorn race and their grievances and entanglements with the Ain El race gradually unfolded before the three of them like a scroll.

Unicorns can travel between different parallel worlds and through time, all of which can be said to be dependent on the horn on their heads.

The fundamental reason why they hate the Wild Hunt and even the Ain El clan is because they capture unicorns on a large scale and force them to open portals connecting different worlds, so that these elven executioners can eliminate local races and obtain new slaves, or use secret methods to mislead their eternal enemy, the white frost that destroys everything, to the new world, so as to temporarily preserve their base camp.

In general, unicorns are their guarantee for conquering new worlds after they have lost the key to the 'Ancient Blood' and the ability to activate the Gates to All Realms.

However, as creatures that worship good, unicorns hate evil very much. The Wild Hunt's genocidal massacres and cruel enslavement of the indigenous people of the New World angered them. After learning the truth, the entire unicorn group refused to serve the Wild Hunt. However, the Ain El tribe, who inherited most of their ancestors' heritage, still quickly solved this not-so-troublesome problem.

They began to hunt unicorns on a large scale, of course, mainly to obtain the horns on their heads. If the original owner did not agree, bypassing the other party and directly controlling it themselves was also an alternative method.

However, the stripped unicorn horns would be depleted soon after losing the supply from their mother, just like rootless duckweed. Therefore, Ain El could only hunt and slaughter the unicorn population by all means, causing this rather prosperous extraordinary race to be on the verge of extinction within a few hundred years.

"Um, Mr. Sakadinat, I'm very sorry to interrupt your conversation. I'd like to know what exactly the crisis you mentioned earlier, buried under the energy of the earth veins, is?" The hunter of the Sunshine Group was no longer concerned with being shocked. He had already occupied all his attention with the crisis mentioned by the other party.

The Unicorn King was leading everyone out of the underground corridor and did not answer for the time being. He only answered the other party's question after everyone jumped directly into an underground cave from a sudden hole in the middle of the rock wall.

[If you're saying so, it's a dragon.] The other party extinguished the Unicorn Golden Flashlight and instead used the milky white, salt-like crystals wrapped around the stalactites and stone walls to provide illumination.

"dragon?"

A dragon greedily devours the magic here, devouring it without restraint and disregarding the balance of the circulation. If it grows up, the circulation balance of this magic node and everything associated with the ground will be destroyed.

"I'm very curious about how you discovered this secret." The golden light in Jiang Bing's eyes not only did not go out, but became even brighter under the milky white light.

The flow of earth energy is visible under these eyes.

[It's too noisy.] The Unicorn King gave a very surprising answer.

Although it hasn't hatched yet, it's still howling and calling. Its cries are spreading across almost all of space through what you call leyline energy.

[Endless, non-stop, the clamor disgusts all unicorns.] The Unicorn King spoke of this, as if referring to an old neighbor who banged pots and cracked a whip during early morning exercise, and his already long horse face stretched even longer.

[This sound is truly unbearable for us, so we have to build a sealing magic circle to isolate the influence.]

"Is it still calling now?" The two hunters looked at each other and thought of the 'Ancient Dragon Ferry' phenomenon at the same time.

[Of course, it never stops.] The Unicorn King replied, almost gritting his teeth.

Jiang Bing could see that the Unicorn King had long wanted to give the other party a beating.

Chapter 456 The Unicorn Queen's Difficult Childbirth

The Unicorn King dug the ground at a corner with his hoof, and the hard stone wall in front of everyone suddenly became transparent, revealing a spacious gathering place inside.

Unexpectedly, this deep underground space was covered with green grass and colorful flowers, stretching as far as the eye could see.

The place where they stood was full of colorful flowers, competing with each other in beauty. For a moment, it seemed as if they were in a grand garden that would flourish forever.

[Welcome to the sacred land of unicorns, our final home, the Sanctuary of Flowers.] The Unicorn King enthusiastically introduced this place to everyone.

Heimer suddenly reminded Jiang Bing that the garden in front of them was essentially a small space bubble.

Looking at the flower sanctuary that was only separated by a wall and was completely different from the underground cave full of crystals, Jiang Bing suddenly realized.

No wonder it looks so incongruous, it seems like you guys just moved your home here.

It is not accurate to say that it is moving. According to Heimer's introduction, this small space bubble is more like the difference between an RV and a house compared to a small world.

But the good 'RV' is enough to accommodate all the unicorns.

Several unicorn cubs, the size of foals, were running unrestrainedly on the grass, chasing flowers and attracting butterflies, looking very happy.

Several female unicorns were lying nearby under some tall brown bushes like trees, resting and watching their children.

Further away, there were dozens of unicorns of different sizes and with different fur colors, all strolling leisurely.

The power surging in them is not very strong, and they seem to be the "old, weak and sick" among the unicorn group.

Soon, under the leadership of Sakadinat, the trio passed through the garden area of ​​the 'Flower Sanctuary' and met the remaining 'Pregnancy' in a place that looked like an altar.

This is the edge of the "Flower Sanctuary" and the frontier bordering the earth veins.

When the space bubble squeezed into this world, it did not simply tear the space apart violently, but rather used clever means to graft the space together.

The two are integrated very harmoniously.

I don’t know what means the unicorns used to graft the energy channel of the earth veins here.

The huge bird's nest-like unicorn nest, woven from naturally grown unknown vines, has sprouted new buds from the old trees stimulated by the huge amount of life energy contained in the earth veins, and the flowers and vegetation around the nest are also abnormally lush.

Countless salt-like high-purity life energy crystal particles are about to cover the entire nest, which is a sign of excessive overflow of life energy.

It can be seen that this is the most important place in the unicorn group. Seven or eight silver unicorns of similar size to Akladali are guarding the nest, and there are five unicorns, one gold and four silver, surrounding the nest. The horns on their heads are shining brightly, guiding the endless flow of life energy to complete a series of processes such as purification and transformation, and then all of them are injected into the body of the huge unicorn lying prone in the center of the nest.

Needless to say, this is the queen who is in labor.

As a high-level extraordinary creature, unicorns certainly cannot give birth to offspring as quickly as ordinary horses, which can give birth to a foal in a year.

Their gestation period is based on half a century. After all, the unicorn's powerful life level, long lifespan, innate extraordinary magical talent, and abnormal ability to control space and time all require a longer time to breed.

Not to mention that it takes nearly a thousand years for a unicorn to grow from birth to adulthood.

This is also one of the main reasons why they were slaughtered to genocide by the Ain El clan. The extremely low reproduction efficiency and long growth period firmly restricted the development of this ethnic group.

Through the life energy that turned into a physical light curtain, Jiang Bing estimated that the unicorn queen who was about to give birth was even taller than the unicorn king next to her.

Compared to the golden color of the unicorn king, the queen's horn is crystal clear like jade, exuding the breath of life from the inside out.

However, compared with Sakadinat's golden glow, the queen's fur and the horn on her head all looked very dull, and a sense of weakness visible to the naked eye almost penetrated her body.

The other party's subsequent performance also proved that Jiang Bing's guess was true.

[Sakadinat, three guests, welcome.] The queen weakly raised her head, which looked like the most perfect emerald carving, and with difficulty cast her gaze towards the three guests. After politely expressing her welcome, she struggled to bury her head between her legs.

[Acatlanti, are you feeling better?] The Unicorn King asked about his wife's condition with concern.

"Did she overdraw her life essence not long ago?" Jiang Bing, who had a 'craftsman's' perspective, obviously saw it more clearly.

The Unicorn King turned his head in surprise.

[Not long ago, we were ambushed by the Ain El tribe in another world. In order to save the entire race and escape the pursuit, Acatlanti forcibly transferred the "Flower Sanctuary" into the void.]

"So, you are still being hunted by the Wild Hunt?"

Acatlanti's full-strength burst caused the 'Flower Sanctuary' to travel through vast distances of time and space. It won't be easy for those pointed-eared creatures to find us.

"But they will find you eventually, right?" Although Jiang Bing used a questioning sentence, his tone was very certain.

"We won't stay in this world for long. Once Acatlanti successfully gives birth to a child, we'll set off immediately." The Unicorn King's dry reply was the best acknowledgment.

"But she is having a difficult delivery now, right?" Jiang Bing pointed out the other party's predicament in one sentence.

"The previous explosion overdrew too much of its life essence, resulting in insufficient energy for the development of its offspring. I believe its arrival in this world was the result of your careful selection. After all, planes with such abundant life energy are rare."

"But the energy concentration here isn't high enough, is it?" Jiang Bing's eyes were almost overflowing with light. With a higher field of vision, he could clearly see the flow of the grafted earth vein energy, the waning radiance of the Unicorn Queen, and the grand yet waning intertwined aura of the fetus gestating within her belly.

"What you need is the location of the dragon at the center of the earth vein, the most central point where the energy of the earth vein of the new continent converges. The energy concentration there is enough to support the queen's consumption of giving birth to offspring. I wonder if I am right, Sakadinat?" Jiang Bing revealed the other party's ultimate goal since they met.

The Unicorn King responded with silence.

Chapter 457: Earning Money on Liangshan

"What puzzles me is why you don't take the initiative to attack?" Jiang Bing expressed his doubts. After all, in his eyes, the Unicorn King looked like he could beat three Nergigantes alone, plus the mature unicorns beside the nest, it didn't seem like Huo was just an underage local dragon beast native.

[Because of 'Wild Hunt'.] This time, the other party finally responded.

[I couldn't attack, at least not with all my strength. I had collaborated with Ain El in the beginning, before they revealed their ugly faces. This resulted in them gaining control of my magical imprint. Even across the endless void, the ripples in space and time caused by my full-strength attack would be sensed by them.]

"So you've chosen us?" Jiang Bing looked at the other person's helpless and painful eyes and asked, "Why do you think we will help you?"

[It's mainly you, Lord Sabul.] The Unicorn King opened the encrypted communication at the right time.

It turned around and led the three people past the 'delivery room' to a stream with lush water plants and stood firmly.

I think we can make a deal.

[Oh?] Jiang Bing looked at the other party and let out a hiss. The sharp horns on his head flashed with dazzling golden light, and a space door was opened in the void in front of everyone like a diamond scratching glass. Then the golden light seeped into it and stretched it open.

"As long as you help Acatlanti give birth smoothly, you will gain the friendship of the entire unicorn group and my loyalty, Lord Sabul."

The opponent's combat power is naturally impeccable. Even if Jiang Bing wants to kill him now, it is basically difficult as climbing to the sky. After all, he is proficient in space travel and can temporarily go back in time, which is really tricky.

Just as Jiang Bing was thinking about it, the Unicorn King took the lead and walked into the space crack.

The craftsman's intuition did not give any warning of danger, so Jiang Bing followed closely behind him, and the two hunters behind him followed closely.

Behind the door is a towering cliff, and under the cliff is a huge underground space.

In a space as large as five or six football fields, a large number of milky white crystal columns of earth vein energy are distributed crisscrossing like a spider web.

These high-concentration earth vein energy crystal columns almost fill the entire space, but no matter which channel the energy flows out from, it will eventually converge into a giant cocoon hanging in the center of the underground space.

This giant cocoon, wrapped in layer upon layer of milky white crystals, is at least forty or fifty meters in size. Countless earth vein energies are transporting huge amounts of energy into it along various channels, as if it is nurturing something.

The two hunters looked at the giant cocoon from a distance with serious expressions, but Jiang Bing was communicating with Heimer at high speed.

I have a plan, a big plan. While the two hunters were carefully observing the situation in the space, Jiang Bing began communicating with the Unicorn King through an encrypted channel.

[I'm all ears] The Unicorn King lowered his head and looked at Jiang Bing with a pair of sparkling golden eyes.

[I have a world, a world that has just begun to sprout.] Jiang Bing stretched out his left hand, showing the other party the ancient and lush oak ring.

[Heimer and I will provide shelter for you and your people, while you will be responsible for the development and stability of this nascent world.]

Few people know that unicorns, who possess the gift of space and time, are excellent maintainers of new worlds. Their gifts can greatly speed up Heimer's process of nurturing the world.

Of course, Jiang Bing would not tell the other party that Heimer also had his eyes on the other party's "Temple of Flowers", a space bubble that was a world of its own with beautiful scenery and complete world rules.

But Jiang Bing was not talking nonsense. No matter how weak Heimer was, he was still the descendant of the Oak Father. If its original world wanted to hide something in the void, it was not something that Ain El could do.

In response to Jiang Bing's proposal, the other party did not respond, but stared at the oak ring on Jiang Bing's finger with his eyes, as if he was examining the sea of ​​stars, his face full of solemnity.

Emerald green light rose up. Faced with the temptation of the space bubble and a group of perfectly compatible chosen workers, Heimer, who had always been introverted and low-key, finally couldn't help but take the initiative.

A green vine quickly spread out from the oak ring and touched the horn that Sakadinat approached cautiously.

Heimer invited Sakadinat to an interview!

The Unicorn King, who could travel across dimensions on his own, disappeared without a second thought under Heimer's active guidance, leaving the three of them on the high cliff underground.

Fortunately, it didn't take long before the opponent returned to the world again. Although no one knew how Heimer had planned it, when the Unicorn King appeared again, Heimer had already conveyed the message "everything is done" to Jiang Bing.

The Anti-Entropy family welcomed its first batch of non-human employees for the first time.

The two hunters had no idea that such a huge deal had been struck in such a short time. They had simply used their keen energy perception to confirm that the Unicorn King's words about the 'crisis hidden deep within the earth' were true, and were now anxiously trying to report back to their base.

This is when the convenience of the mage is reflected.

Sakadinat used the same trick again, using the sharp horns on his head to directly open a space rift leading to the lair of the Nergigante, greatly saving the two people's travel time.

"Sir Sabul, won't you go back with us?" asked the hunter from the recommendation group as the representative.

"I still have some things to do here. You guys go ahead, and I'll be back to reunite with you when I'm done."

Jiang Bing pulled out a piece of flexible animal skin paper from the void and threw it to the other party.

"This is the formula for Class III gunpowder. Give it to the commander-in-chief when you return. It would be best if he could coordinate the forces at the stronghold to manufacture a batch of gunpowder as a backup."

Jiang Bing pointed at the giant cocoon at the foot of the cliff. "If we really want to subjugate a dragon beast of this size, it will be a fierce battle. It will only benefit us if we prepare some strong weapons in advance."

The other party carefully took the animal skin paper and kept it close to his body, then stepped into the space crack with Canglanxing.

Jiang Bing followed the Unicorn King back to the 'Flower Temple'.

He needed to plant Heimer's roots here, so that the entire opponent could locate the position of the space bubble in the boundless void, so as to accurately capture and merge it.

The unicorns who joined the group with capital were officially promoted to the maintainers, security guards, land reclamation laborers, gardeners and logistics managers of the "Heimer" world, and they did not need to be paid.

Even for this, the other party still has to thank you profusely.

The unicorns' buildings are very interesting. They are basically built by growing various plants, and the core point that supports the entire space bubble is beyond Jiang Bing's expectations.

This is a unicorn tomb.
