Chapter 33 The Return of the Black Unicorn
With Rose, the commander-in-chief of the support group, our plan went very smoothly. All the items that needed to be delivered were packed in a container and transported to the edge of the Sunken Sea. Black Qilin quickly found the target that needed to be dropped, and used his power to easily get the container over. After the huge container appeared in the sky of the eighteenth level of hell, four huge parachutes automatically opened, and the container landed safely at a very slow speed. I was startled when the door opened.
"Rose?"
Rose opened her arms to me: "Do you like your instructions?"
"I love you so much!" I hugged the rose. "Why do you think you've come down too? It's so cold in Yama Palace!"
"This container uses a closed barrier, and the internal space is completely independent. As long as you don't open the door after entering the Yama Hall, you will not be attacked by the cold air." Rose looked around: "This is the eighteenth level of hell. Really? I didn’t expect it to be so desolate!”
Black Qilin looked at the two of us in surprise. "Is this your wife?"
"Yes." I took Rose and introduced, "This is Mo, the legendary black unicorn."
"Hello, my name is Blood Red Rose, but everyone likes to just call me Rose."
Black Qilin looked at it sadly and said, "I really envy you!"
"Huh? What's wrong?"
"Your wife is actually willing to accompany you to the eighteen levels of hell. Is there anything more worthy of pride than this?"
Rose immediately blushed and hugged my neck: "It feels so romantic to be told that by him! Going to hell with the one you love is truly a matter of life and death!"
Black Qilin suddenly shed a tear from the corner of his eye: "Hey! If Biyu had loved me as much as you loved Ziri back then, so what if I never left this eighteenth level of hell!"
"Could it be that you had a lover back then?"
The black unicorn nodded: "Jasper is a jade unicorn. I once fought with a god for her, and for this reason, I accidentally destroyed a human city. That's why I was finally judged as an evil member. Later, everyone When the gods besieged me, she only interceded for me, but did not fight back with me. When I was finally about to enter the eighteenth level of hell, she did not follow me down. Instead, she chose the beautiful world and gave up our love!"
"Then will you seek revenge on her when you go out?" Rose asked suddenly.
Black Qilin shook his head decisively: "Where can there be hatred without love? I no longer love her, and I don't want to find her anymore. When I see her from now on, I will just treat her as a stranger. It doesn't matter if she doesn't offend me. Just block my way." My enemy."
From the very beginning, I discovered that Hei Qilin's brain was abnormal. Not only did he have extreme thoughts, but his personality also changed from time to time. At first, I thought it was because I had been in the eighteen levels of hell for too long and was jointly suppressed by the gods, so I felt grievances and could not express myself for a long time, which resulted in a twisted and abnormal psychology. Now it seems that these circumstances are not the main reasons. The more important reason is the betrayal of a loved one. Once the mind of an intelligent creature exceeds its endurance limit, it will produce a twisted and morbid psychology. Black Kirin is now basically a mental patient, and has a certain tendency to violence.
Black Qilin looked at the sky and clenched his fists with his hands, letting tears flow down: "I...as long as I leave this damn place, all the bastards who offended me back then will...what are you doing?" As he spoke, Black Qilin suddenly noticed me and Rose. Zheng was squatting next to him holding a small bottle and pointing the mouth of the bottle towards his chin.
"Hey, collect some of your tears."
"What?"
Rose smiled and said: "The tears of dragons have strange effects and can usually be used to make magical equipment; the tears of phoenix can be used to make resurrection potions, which can save people as long as they are not dead; the tears of mermaids are the best. Pearl. A standard magic amplifier. Unicorn tears are magic gems. Needless to say what they do, right? You are also a black unicorn after all. You are the best among the best. Although I haven’t heard of any special effects of unicorn tears. But that’s because no one can get it. I think the tears of you super creatures should have special effects. It’s useless for you to shed these tears anyway, so why not give them to us?”
"You, you, you...!" Hei Qilin held it in for a long time and suddenly laughed, and finally said: "You are indeed a match made in heaven, the same money-obsessed!"
"Thank you for the compliment." I said as I took a small brush and scraped the last bit of tear stains into the bottle: "Don't waste the little bit here."
Rose suddenly shouted: "Hey. Mo, you lost your hair. Anyway, it fell off. I knew it was useless to you, so I kept it for you. Ah, there are a few more here, haha, Qilin' Mao, maybe it can be reflected magically."
The black unicorn is not angry at all. Instead, he stretched out his hand and pulled out two small white things and handed them to Rose. "Since you like it, this can be considered a meeting gift for you and your wife."
"This is...?" Rose looked at the thing in her hand. "Is it you Diya?"
"To be precise, they are fangs. Normal unicorns don't have fangs at all, but I have fangs, and my fangs will fall off automatically every three thousand years."
"You have been here for more than ten thousand years, why are there only two?" I started to 'touch' him on my own: "How many more are there? You have no use for keeping them anyway, so give them all to me!"
"Get out!" Black Qilin jumped out of the distance. "It would be nice to give you two. I have refined the other teeth into my own magic weapons. You want something from me so much. There is still half a bucket of urine in the chamber pot in my room. Do you want it? Ordinary little monsters smell it. I was scared to death when I arrived.”
"Uh...forget it!"
Rose smiled and pulled me aside: "It's better not to tease Mo Mo. Let's assemble these things quickly. There is still a lot of work behind."
"Yes, this is business."
There are actually not many things sent from the guild. It's just that the size is relatively large. The space compressor looks like a stone monument, but it works lying on the ground, and the size of this thing is about the size of a bus. I am very familiar with the magic light cannon, and it is easy to assemble. What's left is a bunch of scrolls, only a few in total.
After transporting all these things to Black Kirin's room and putting them away, we started setting up equipment and charging the cannon with energy. Rose opened a scroll to find weak points in space. After the location is roughly determined, Black Qilin will first set up the space channel himself. We can't help with this work.
After the channel is opened, the work is much simpler. First prepare the compression space, then add lubrication magic to me and the black unicorn, and finally, the continuous shooting of the super magic light cannon. We didn’t expect to take this magic light cannon back anyway, so we simply removed the restrictor valve and turned the output energy to the maximum. In this way, the magic light cannon can have three times the normal firing power, but the clear crystal will melt quickly due to overheating. Once the crystal structure is destroyed, the cannon will explode immediately.
Black Qilin has never seen the magic light cannon. But he could feel the energy of this thing. The powerful power of the launch scared him. It is said that this was the first time he found something that could endanger his safety. Even the gods only sealed him and could not kill him.
Just as we thought, the magic light cannon started to smoke five seconds after it started working. Although the black unicorn added a powerful freezing technique, it still had no effect. This temperature comes from within the cannon, even if the cryo spell freezes the shell. However, the internal temperature still exceeded the standard, and the outer shell had no time to dissipate heat. The thick beam of light directly shot into the circular space channel, and the huge energy technique hit the black and vicious light curtain, making the entire light curtain tremble.
It was only then that I thought that I had forgotten to tell people outside to synchronize the time, and we went out so suddenly. The seal destruction work outside is not ready yet! As soon as I voiced my concerns, Rose stopped me. "I have already arranged it." Rose took out a large crystal. "This is the starting device that Crystal Chocolate helped us make. It is a bomb in itself. The energy of the explosion will radiate to the seventeenth level of hell over there and detonate the impact bomb over there. After the explosion, the seal will loosen for about two to Three seconds. Gotta hurry."
"Understood."
The black unicorn changed back to its original state and prepared to cross the barrier. Passing through the passage requires a strong impact. Only the black unicorn in its original form has this ability. Rose and I can't get past this barrier. The black unicorn must take us there together. For this reason, we had to find a place to fix ourselves on the black unicorn. In the end, the two of us decided to make use of the black unicorn ears. To us, the black unicorn's ears and eyes are similar to a small cave. The space inside is larger than most of our bedrooms. Moreover, hiding here can avoid being directly hit by the energy storm. Even if there is one leaking in, it should not have much power. .
The detonating crystal was handed over to Black Qilin, who wrapped the crystal with his magic power and suspended it in front of him. I stood in front of his ear and looked at the magic light cannon, waiting for the moment it was scrapped to remind the black unicorn to start traveling through time.
It had only been ten seconds since we were ready, but the magic light cannon had already begun to be seriously overloaded. First, the light beam began to grow larger and thicker, and the gaps in some parts began to surge with magical energy. The machine was already on the verge of collapse. Black Qilinjia's frozen shell has melted away. The shell of the machine itself then began to melt. Melted water droplets appeared on the umbrella-shaped barrel. In fact, they were not water but liquid crystals. The heat resistance of crystal is exaggerated. It can melt the crystal into a 'liquid' state, so you can imagine how high the temperature has reached.
About thirty seconds after it was turned on, the barrel of the magic light cannon suddenly bent, and the high temperature had melted the clear crystal used as the barrel. As soon as the crystal deformed, the refraction angle was wrong, and the rays of light were deflected directly to the sky, blasting a big hole in the roof of the cave. Immediately following a loud noise, the energy stimulator on the magic light cannon went straight into the sky. The remaining parts melted into a pool of liquid crystal within two seconds.
I faced directly into the cave. That is to say, Black Kirin's ears and eyes shouted: "Quick, throw out the detonating crystal. Then you start charging."
"Keep your voice down, you're in my ears, and I'm not deaf!" Black Qilin complained, but his movements were not slow at all. The detonating crystal wrapped in mana shot into the passage with a whoosh like a bullet. With the black unicorn's mana, the speed of shooting such a small thing can be imagined.
There was a big explosion, and the entire black barrier shook. In an instant, we even saw the red seal over there through the black barrier, but the black barrier quickly It healed again and blocked the view again. But this phenomenon shows that the barrier is already very thin, even on the edge of breaking. Black Qilin kicked the mountain wall behind him hard. Half of the entire mountain was instantly lost, and the place where he kicked off flew directly away from the mountain. The black unicorn accelerated forward and dug a big hole in the ground with every step. Within a few tenths of a second, the black unicorn entered the compressed space and accelerated again. However, a slight mistake was that the acceleration did not last for the expected time, because the space compressor placed on the ground was kicked away by the black unicorn. Fortunately, the speed has increased. Now that it's up, it shouldn't affect sprinting.
About two seconds after the detonation crystal exploded, we arrived at the entrance of the passage, and at this time the bomb next to the seal on the other side of the passage just exploded. The energy bomb has been delayed for one second after receiving the impact of the explosion from the detonating crystal. So it exploded just a second before we arrived.
With a bang, six bombs detonated simultaneously. The red Yama seal flashed violently, and the impact storm messed up its operation. Although it did not shut down automatically, it paused for a few seconds. Just when this guy was about to recover, the black unicorn's huge head suddenly rushed out of the huge crater-like seal.
This operation was carried out in secret, and members of the Heavenly System were not aware of the plan. The people sent by our guild were NPC guards led by Vader, and the bombs were installed secretly. After the explosion, our guards all hid and smiled, while the ghost officials sent by the Yamas were completely dumbfounded. When the huge head of the black unicorn appeared at the entrance of the cave, the first reaction of all the ghost officials was to turn around and run away. Some simply fainted. This is the first time I discovered that ghosts can be frightened.
The huge body of the black unicorn flew out with a roar that resounded from the Sunken Sea, and large pieces of gravel were brought flying along with it. A large amount of debris fell down on the surface of the nearby Sunken Sea like a heavy rain. The black unicorn flew out of the passage by a hair's breadth. The moment the tip of his tail left, the seal suddenly returned to normal and even shaved off a trace of black hair on the tip of the black unicorn's tail. Because the impact was so great, the black unicorn actually flew up for tens of meters and then crashed down from the sky, crashing onto the small island with a loud bang. A large wave rose from the sea around the island and rushed around, overturning all the boats that had escaped.
Black Qilin looked around excitedly with his big eyes open, and then he was about to attack the soldiers on the ground. I quickly shouted: "Stop!"
The claws that the black unicorn was about to swat down turned to be retracted to cover its ears. I thought it was wrong, I was in his ears, even if I covered it, it was useless, so I had to shout angrily: "I told you not to be so loud. My ears were deafened by you!"
"I know, let us out quickly." I yelled into his ear again in a playful manner, which made the black unicorn tremble.
The black unicorn tilted his head and shook us both, and I landed safely on the ground holding the rose and spreading my wings.
I said hello to Vader, and then said to Black Qilin: "These are my people. If they hadn't installed bombs here to make the seal temporarily ineffective, you wouldn't have expected to come back."
Black Qilin nodded: "I will remember your help, but now I have to leave here. The people from Heaven will be here soon. Crossing the barrier just now consumed too much power. I need to recover."
"If you don't mind, you can come with me." How could such a super super boss let him go? With the strength of the Black Kirin, even if it is a fight with the Four Holy Beasts, as long as it does not meet two of them at the same time and join forces, it can easily win, and even if it is one-on-one, it may not be impossible to win. If he only wanted to escape, no one would be able to keep him.
"It's okay to cooperate with you, but I won't be your subordinate." Hei Qilin said very seriously: "Let's make it clear first, even if I go with you, I won't listen to you and help you work. If you want me There must be enough benefits to help, and it must be my willingness. Otherwise, I will never take action. If you understand this and still want me to go with you, I don't mind."
This big guy is too strong. As the saying goes, a slave bullies his master. Black Qilin is much stronger than our guild, and even if it is taken over, it will never be controlled. I was worrying about whether to continue inviting him to come with us, when Rose suddenly said: "Don't be so stingy! Just treat it as a visit to a friend's house, right? Come to our place for a few days first, and then we can take the opportunity to spend the time together. Let me tell you, after all, you haven't been back for a long time, and now you don't understand the world at all. Even if you are very strong, you will still feel a lot of inconvenience. We can help you understand the world. You can then make your own decision. It’s not too late to decide where to go!”
"Is that right?" I quickly helped: "You will be discovered as soon as you go out like this. Without our cover, you will be surrounded by the heavy troops of heaven even if you can't get out of the Netherworld. Although you can win in a single fight. You can count the gods on your ten fingers, but there are too many gods in heaven, even a good unicorn can’t hold up a group of gods!”
"That makes sense." Black Qilin nodded: "Then I'll go with you first."
Rose and I immediately laughed and high-fived each other. Both of us knew that as long as this big guy comes to our place, even if he doesn't stay in Isengard, he will definitely become a strength that we can borrow, even if he can't mobilize it freely. At least I can come out occasionally to support the scene. At least if the Suzaku attack on Essinger last time happens, Lima can handle it as soon as the black unicorn comes out. It would be even better if I could trick him into going hunting in Japan once in a while. I have been thinking about the eight-headed snake in Little Japan for more than a day or two. The super monster is full of treasures, and that big snake should be valuable too. I don’t know if that thing can be refreshed repeatedly. It would be better if I could kill it back and forth several times.
After the black unicorn broke through the seal, all the ghost officials from various Yama Halls were killed. No one has reported to the Yama Hall and Heavenly Court, but this does not mean that it is safe. Although the seal has been disturbed, it may have alarm capabilities, so our urgent task now is to run quickly.
The black unicorn transformed into a human form and followed us quickly back to the Eleventh Yama Hall controlled by our guild. To cover up the news. Rose asked the black unicorn to put on a set of armor belonging to the Essinger Guards and join our team. Although the Eleventh Hall of Hell is managed by our guild, those ghost officials are still at the mercy of heaven, and there is no guarantee that no one will leak it out, so it is best to hide it from them.
We got the black unicorn to our guild like a smuggler, and then arranged a temporary residence for him under Essinger. His room is next to Hongyan's room. Moreover, both of their rooms are under Vina's palace, so the auras of the two powerful men are mixed together and covered by a main god, making it difficult for ordinary people to detect the existence of the black unicorn.
After sending everyone away, Rose and I helped Black Kirin find some history books and threw them to him. "These are things that happened while you were away. You'd better get familiar with them as soon as possible. If you need anything, just call the guards. We will try our best to satisfy you. If there is no special reason, it is recommended that you don't come out and wander around. We often come here. There are people from heaven coming and going, so it would be bad if you bump into them. If you have to go out, remember to add a seal to yourself first. Don't involve us if you are not afraid of death."
"I'm not a fool." Hei Qilin said nonchalantly: "Don't worry! I won't leave until I finish reading this thing. In addition, you can help me with something by the way."
"What do you want to do?"
Black Qilin 'touched' a small jade token from his body. "This is a token. Take this thing and go to Bibo Pond in Cuizhu Mountain to help me find the mythical beast Bi Ling."
I didn't take that jade card. "What's your relationship with Biling?"
"How to put it!" Hei Qilin thought for a moment and said: "He taught me some things, but he is not a master. Maybe it should be said that we have been friends for many years. He may be my only friend in this world! Come on, get it Come on. As long as you help me find Bi Ling, I will repay you."
Rose frowned and said, "Control your emotions first and calm down."
"Why? I'm not excited!"
I also advised: "Anyway, please control your emotions and put the overall situation first."
"What do you mean?" Black Qilin still didn't understand what was going on.
"Biling, he...!" Rose thought for a moment before speaking out. "He is no longer alive."
"Hahahaha!" Black Qilin was not excited at all, but laughed. "You have to find a better reason for joking! Who can touch Bi Ling's power? Two of the four holy beasts are his disciples, the entire Qilin clan is related to him by blood, and all the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas of the Dragon Clan are with him. I have studied art. Who dared to touch him? Who touched him again? Even if it is a natural death. With Biling's lifespan, he will not be able to die if I die."
"We are not joking." I looked at Black Qilin seriously. "Mo. We won't joke with you about this kind of thing. Biling is really dead, and his bones are still in our hands."
Black Qilin seemed to realize that something was wrong. "You're not serious, are you?"
"Biling is also related to us, and we won't joke about it."
"Liar!" Black Qilin almost shouted. "How is it possible? Who can kill Biling?" Tears began to flow from the corners of Hei Qilin's eyes. He was yelling and messing around, and we could only watch him vent. We know that he is already restraining himself, otherwise Essinger would be overthrown by him.
"Mo, you have to calm down." I consoled him, "Biling is indeed dead, but his soul doesn't seem to have completely dissipated."
"What did you say?" Black Qilin suddenly returned to normal and rushed in front of me.
"I said Bi Ling's soul is still there. From my understanding, if we can find a suitable method, maybe we can still save him."
"Really?" Black Qilin grabbed my armor and shook it violently, almost breaking my neck.
Rose quickly held down his arm: "Calm down. Bi Ling's soul has indeed not completely dissipated. At least we have communicated before this."
"Have you communicated? So Biling just passed away not long ago?"
"No." I quickly explained: "It has been a long time since Biling passed away. We have never actually seen Biling before he was alive. The first time we saw him, we found his skeleton in a cave by the sea. His soul was still wandering in the cave at that time.”
"Did he say anything to you? Did he tell you who killed him? I will kill him to pay for Biling!" Black Qilin almost shouted the last sentence.
"Biling said that he was chasing an eight-headed snake demon all the way to Japan. As a result, the locals regarded the snake demon as a mythical beast and helped the snake demon attack Biling. Biling did not expect that someone would attack him, and he was distracted. He was injured by the snake demon and died in the cave shortly after returning."
"Where's that snake?" Black Qilin roared.
"Still in Japan, now working as an area guard for them."
"Where is Japan? Send me there quickly. I want to peel off the skin of the dead snake and cramp it to pay tribute to Biling! By the way, take me to see Biling's remains first and see if I can summon his soul back."
