"Peng!"
A two-meter-long giant sword fiercely chopped down on a boulder, splitting it into two halves. The snowflakes covering the boulder splashed in all directions.
A white foal nearby was so shocked that it turned around and fled. A huge pegasus descended from the sky, flapping its wings as it charged toward the brown-haired man wielding the greatsword.
Not only did this pegasus have two huge wings that allowed it to fly, but it also had a sharp horn on its head.
According to western legends, this was a magical creature known as a unicorn.
The brown-haired man was tall and handsome. He had an aristocratic aura about him.
He was the Level 6 warrior who came here from Hero City to challenge Yang Tian to a duel. His name was Mark!
After Mark arrived at this seemingly endless forest, he unintentionally came across a white pony.
Ma Ke wouldn't have spared a glance at an ordinary mutated horse, but he immediately recognized it as a unicorn's cub. If he could bring it back and tame it, he'd have a unicorn as his pet beast.
Mark chased after this Little Unicorn that had just grown an inconspicuous horn and had yet to grow wings.
Later on, this Little Unicorn's mother beast appeared and forced Mark to retreat. The Little Unicorn took the opportunity to escape …
After discovering this Little Unicorn, Mark threw the matter of his duel with Yang Tian to the back of his mind and continued to search for unicorns. Now, under the heavy snow, he finally saw the Little Unicorn snuggling with its mother as they stood on a hillside.
The sky was white. If not for his good luck, he would not have been able to discover these two exotic beasts.
Perhaps many legendary creatures had existed in this world before and were not made up by the ancients. For example, the dragon from the east and the unicorn from the west … It was only due to changes in the environment that they disappeared from this world.
However, under the effects of the YS virus, the 'divine beast bloodline' hidden in some animals was activated, and some legendary creatures reappeared in this world.
The Winged Serpent that Yang Tian encountered and the unicorn that Mark was facing were the same.
It was almost impossible to tame an adult exotic beast into a pet beast. The chances of that happening were extremely low. However, it was possible to tame an infant exotic beast. It was best to capture the exotic beast as soon as it was born. That way, the chances of raising it into a pet beast would be the highest.
Unicorns and horses were similar animals. Mark felt that taming a Little Unicorn should not be a difficult task. It was just like taming a Little Unicorn.
Looking at the mother unicorn pouncing at him, Mark raised his greatsword and slashed at it again.
This time, facing Mark's giant sword, the unicorn mother beast didn't dodge. Instead, it used the horn on its head to collide with the giant sword.
"Pfff!"
Ma Ke's greatsword hadn't even come into contact with the horn of the mother unicorn when it was bounced back by a powerful, invisible force. During this process, Ma Ke felt his entire body go numb, as if he had been electrocuted.
Ma Ke laughed out loud and raised his sword to fight the mother unicorn again.
Meanwhile, the Little Unicorn looked at its mother worriedly.
After deflecting Mark's greatsword again, the mother unicorn hissed at its cub. When the Little Unicorn heard it, it immediately turned around and ran!
Seeing that the Little Unicorn was about to disappear from his sight again, Mark turned around and chased after the Little Unicorn.
The lesson from last time made Mark realize that the mother unicorn only wanted to delay him. Once its cub escaped far away, it would immediately fly away.
This time, Mark would not allow the Little Unicorn to disappear from his sight.
The Little Unicorn was not fast. Mark quickly caught up to it. However, the mother unicorn also caught up to it.
…
After consuming a Level 5 Beast Core, Yang Tian recuperated for more than half an hour.
With the energy from the Beast Core and the power from the Dragonball, Yang Tian's internal injuries were quickly healed. At least, he could now move normally without any problems.
Qin Zhengyang was surprised that Yang Tian was able to move freely so quickly. He looked at Yang Tian and asked again, "Have you made up your mind? Do you want to return to Tianxiong City with me or continue to stay in this forest?"
Yang Tian had already made up his mind in the past half an hour. He smiled and said, "Grandpa Qin, I think … I think I should continue to train for a while!"
There was no surprise on Qin Zhengyang's face. He stroked his beard and nodded. "You can't fight with other martial artists for at least three days. I'll guard you for a few days then!"
With Qin Zhengyang by his side, Yang Tian could focus on recuperating. Yang Tian nodded happily.
Rustle, rustle, rustle …
At this time, there were sounds of footsteps around them.
Not long after, Bai Kai led a group of people and many other warriors and appeared in the surroundings.
However, when these people saw Qin Zhengyang and Yang Tian, there were traces of battle around them, and Du Xiongwen was not here, they understood what had happened. They did not dare to say anything and immediately turned to leave.
Qin Zhengyang had always said that he was a Level 7 warrior, but many people did not believe him.
Now, Du Xiongwen, a Level 8 warrior, was not here. This could only mean one thing: Du Xiongwen had been defeated and left this place.
To be able to defeat a Level 8 warrior in such a short time, Qin Zhengyang's realm was obvious …
Yang Tian and Qin Zhengyang returned to the underground cave where they were temporarily staying.
It was freezing outside, but the temperature in the underground cave was maintained at around 10 degrees. It was very warm. In just a few minutes, Yang Tian and Qin Zhengyang felt as if spring had suddenly come from winter.
The only bad thing was that the underground cave was too dark!
Previously, when Du Xiongwen had just entered here, he had heard the big black eagle's cry and immediately turned back. Naturally, he had not touched Yang Tian's things.
In the cave, the fire was about to go out. Yang Tian immediately added firewood to the fire and called Qin Zhengyang over. The two of them sat down beside the fire.
Yang Tian began to roast meat again. The old man and the young man sat in front of the fire and ate the meat.
"Grandpa Qin, why did you hide your realm?" Yang Tian suddenly asked curiously.
In the previous battle, Yang Tian had seen the entire process clearly, and this question had been lingering in his mind for a long time.
Qin Zhengyang smiled and said, "You'll naturally understand when you reach Level Nine. It's useless to tell you now. Instead, it'll only add to your troubles."
Qin Zhengyang did not want to explain, so Yang Tian did not ask further. He smiled and said, "Grandpa Qin, I should be qualified to be with Xiao Fei now, right?"
This was the question that Yang Tian was most concerned about. As soon as he asked this question, he looked at Qin Zhengyang expectantly, as if he was afraid that Qin Zhengyang would reject him.
Qin Zhengyang laughed and nodded. "You have already met my requirements. I will naturally not object to the two of you."
Hearing Qin Zhengyang's answer, Yang Tian finally heaved a sigh of relief. He scratched his head and chuckled.
