Chapter 53: Return
Huami sighed, "Without the horn, is the unicorn really okay?"Ñ00v€l--ß1n hosted the premiere release of this chapter.
In his understanding, the horn was essential for a unicorn.
He looked at the unicorn. The broken horn emitted faint white light, continuously attaching to the broken surface.
"Is it self-repairing? But it seems the repair speed is very slow. It might take a very long time to complete," Huami wondered aloud.
His main concern was whether the vampire would revive during this process. That was Huami's biggest worry.
According to "The Adventure Guide to the Black Forest," a unicorn's horn was like its magic controller. Without it, the unicorn's magic would be uncontrollable.
"It's not definite. It depends on the individual," Xiao Zi informed him. "Powerful unicorns can still control their magic even without the horn. However, their strength might be slightly affected."
"I see," Huami nodded in understanding.
Different unicorn individuals varied in strength, much like humans' physical constitutions. The horn was akin to a wand; powerful wizards could still perform magic without it.
Retracting the unicorn's horn, Huami surveyed the battlefield again. The four corpses were now reduced to ashes by the thunderous flames, scattered by the wind.
The closest one was the resurrected corpse. It wore only a gray robe, containing nothing but rotting flesh and broken bones. Nothing valuable survived the fiery destruction.
Huami ignored it and approached the other three unfortunate beings – a sneaky thief, a blood-stained murderer, and a supposedly pure maiden.
These were the names the gray-robed figure used during the contract ritual.
The first two were fine, but the so-called pure maiden didn't seem to meet the devil's criteria. The devil claimed her soul was filled with pitiful jealousy, contradicting the gray-robed figure's assurance of her absolute purity.
Recalling last night's conversation, Huami remembered the pure maiden's hostile gaze towards him.
"It must have been then," Huami mused. This variable had led the devil to negotiate with the gray-robed figure, granting him time to prepare.
In a way, the gray-robed figure had defeated himself.
The thunder was fierce, turning most objects into ashes along with the bodies. From the apprentice's ashes, Huami found a storage ring. Consciousness delved inside, revealing a small bag of coins, a notebook, and a scroll. He decided to check these later.
The dwarf's ashes yielded nothing special, but among the thief's remains, Huami found an exquisite silver folding knife, unaffected by the flames.
Huami stored everything in his ring for further examination.
"Oh, the flower!" Huami suddenly remembered the unusual flower he saw on his first visit.
In the small flowerbed, five blue flowers were blooming beautifully – honey-producing plants. However, their scent was strange, not the usual floral fragrance but something more pungent.
"I wonder if bees will accept this scent."
Huami released the pain-inducing bees from his sleeve, letting them hover above the petals. After a moment, the bees began collecting pollen.
Fortunately, the last doubt was dispelled.
"These flowers are worth planting."
"Given their state, they should have produced seeds by now."
Huami controlled a cutting bee and sliced open one flower's ovary. As expected, it contained green bean-sized seeds. Each flower had 3-5 seeds. Huami gathered all 21 seeds.
Aside from farming and honey production, cultivating powerful bee species and enhancing his own spiritual power were equally important.
The higher the strength, the more confidently he could venture further.
"The unicorn horn powder is ready. Now, we just need the elven master's help to build the greenhouse."
...
"Welcome back!"
Six pseudo-flower spirits crowded around, first dragging Xiao Zi in a lively spin, then bombarding Huami with questions.
"Did you succeed? Did you get the horn powder?"
"I guess not. The unicorn wouldn't easily let someone approach its horn."
"I told you it wouldn't work."
"You must be tired. You look pale."
...
"Listen to me," Xiao Zi finally managed to squeeze in a word. "We actually succeeded."
Huami displayed the broken unicorn horn.
Gasps echoed.
"Is this... the unicorn's..."
"Horn?"
"How did you manage that?"
"Look, it's broken in the middle. Did you kill the unicorn?"
At this statement, another round of exclamations erupted.
"My good friend..." Little Purple shed a tear.
"It used lightning on you before," Little Yellow reminded.
"Oh, right." Little Purple snapped back to reality, immediately changing her expression and waving her fist. "It's not my friend!"
"It's not dead." Xiao Zi yawned. "I'll explain the details later. Can we go to sleep now? This journey was too tiring."
So, the seven little beings bid farewell to Huami and prepared to leave.
"Wait a moment."
Huami stopped them.
Standing next to the pit he had dug, looking at the rainbow-colored flower inside, Huami showed a puzzled expression.
