Lord of Secrets - Chapter 102 101.Zijiao Peak
“Okay, I won’t interrupt you to accompany this little cutie, it is a little anxious. After chatting with Mrs. Smith for a few words, Ubermo looked at Samoyed who was about to move, and then said.
“You can come and sit at home when you have time. Smith will also be very happy.” Mrs. Smith glanced at Xiao Lai, who kept sticking out his tongue and shaking it from time to time, and invited him.
Ubermore nodded and said, “I will!”
…
After walking slowly in the other direction for a while, Ubermo returned to the villa and looked at the various newspapers that Banky subscribed to. This was also a channel for collecting news without spending too much money.
Don’t rush into the matter of the unicorn. You can leave the matter of “Indulgent” Vader to Ban Laluo. You can find some time to investigate the information about the Baigas ruins provided by the old man named Lake Rawadi last time. …walk around a little more with Smith and Tris, and wait until we get to know each other better to see if we can hook up with a certain noble…
Ubermo read the newspaper while thinking about the next action. Everything needs to be done step by step. As for Medley and Buches, he temporarily put these two people behind him. Being too deliberate might attract their attention.
Although he wanted to find their traces, he did not use himself as bait to attract them. He had no one else to help here.
As for the military demigod Lanwusi, his whereabouts are not so easy to determine, and it is a bit difficult to find him. As for the Church of Night and the Church of Glory, they are also out of reach in the Southern Continent.
I have to say that it was a wise choice for them to flee to the Southern Continent.
…
The morning of the day was over. After lunch, Ubermo took a carriage to the Jiagui Forest. He got off the carriage outside the forest. After paying the money, Ubermo walked slowly inside.
Last time, he only explored the outside and didn’t go too deep. After all, Jiagui Forest is quite large, and it is even more dangerous at night, and local hunters dare not go deep into it.
Unicorns are wandering creatures with no fixed nest. It is mainly active at night, not so frequently during the day, but will move to another hidden place every once in a while. Its horn will emit a hazy purple light at night, but it is not too obvious under the blue moonlight. Therefore, it is difficult to find it day or night.
However, unicorns have a strange characteristic, that is, they are on high alert during the day and will immediately move away when they see a human figure. So basically you can’t see a unicorn during the day, because even ordinary extraordinary people’s senses are far inferior to it.
But at night, it will be full of curiosity about everything. Even humans are not rejected. Once its curiosity is aroused, it may observe it from a distance.
Some people speculate that the unicorn at night is in a state of excitement, with a hint of dementia, and is prone to entering traps by mistake, but with its abilities, it is not too dangerous.
The reason why Ubermo came to the forest during the day was that it was safer during the day and easier to find traces of the unicorn. Although its whereabouts were strange, there were some traces to follow.
I found most of the places where unicorns are found and places where they might normally hide, and used “snooping” to analyze the range where unicorns might exist for a certain period of time, and then just wait and see.
Anyway, he only wants the unicorn’s horn, not its life. As long as you restrict the other party’s movements, and then get some food that the other party likes to eat, seduce and threaten, you can’t guarantee that you will directly hand over your shed unicorn.
This probability is very high. After all, unicorns are very spiritual creatures.
But the key lies in how to restrict the unicorn’s movements. You must know that ordinary poisons or traps are not a problem for the unicorn at all.
“I still have to ask Balaro about some extraordinary gatherings in Lierli to see if there is anything that can meet the needs.” Ubermo whispered while observing the surroundings, looking for traces of unicorns.
…Also, wait for this week’s Chaldean gathering, and let Tina ask Mr. “Life” if he has any suggestions. After all, he is a “hunter” and has innate experience in this area.
Although Ubermo asked Rebelina to announce the commission at the Chaldea gathering, and “Life” also took over the mission of the unicorn and the three-color vine, this did not prevent him from finding materials on his own.
After all, you can’t just rely on others, and more materials are nothing to him, as they can just replenish the empire’s inventory.
Slowly moving forward, Ubermo carefully observed every place, although the ability to “snoop” only requires that he has known and seen it before.
But he still remembered the lesson learned last time and developed the habit of careful observation, and could not rely too much on the advantage of “snooping”.
It is not because he is “snooping” that he is a “detective”, but because he is a “detective”, “snooping” can play its greatest role.
On the leaves, on the tree trunks, in the grass and on the soft soil, he looked carefully at every place.
The unicorn is not as bulky as it looks, but is very light, so it leaves very few traces on the ground.
White manes, slight dents, and frayed bark…
Suddenly, Ubermo saw some traces. He was sure that unicorns had been here before, but they were just passing by. What he needed to find were the places that were frequently visited.
These places are usually very hidden and dangerous, so this is also a way to identify them.
He continued walking forward.
…
“Zijiao Peak…”
Tallim’s green eyes buried in the hood whispered at the steep peaks not far away.
Although as a poet, he should not be tainted by money. But he felt that this was all forced by life. He did not think that he had insulted the noble word “poet”. He was still a pure poet.
Thinking that he would soon get more than 100 pounds of banknotes, he was also a little excited.
Passing through the dense forest and bushes, Tallim kept narrowing the distance with the Zhorn Peak.
Along the way, no insects or snakes approached him, and they all circled away, and his body was full of a pungent smell.
Seeing that the Zhorn Peak was right in front of him, Tallim stopped his steps at this time. He looked at the trees a few meters away, and there was a huge venomous snake coiled around it, which was more than 10 meters long, spitting out a slender snake tongue, and drooling with disgusting saliva. Two green eyes stared at Tallim, ready to rush over at any time.
Tealim did not panic. A slender green leaf appeared in his hand and he put it on his lips.
“Hunting music!”
At this time, the venomous snake rushed over instantly.
Then, a crisp sound spread forward, and the venomous snake’s eyes became dull instantly, but it still maintained the momentum of rushing forward.
In just one second, the venomous snake regained its consciousness. It quickly spit out its tongue and tried to bite Tealim with that momentum.
For Tealim, this time was enough for him to react.
He jumped back quickly. As a “hunter”, he must have agile skills.
The venomous snake then rushed to his previous position and overwhelmed the grass. Just when it wanted to continue rushing towards Tealim, it felt a touch of cold.
Several seeds with green liquid on them grew rapidly in an instant, turning into thick vines, entwining its body.
At the beginning, Tealim scattered the seeds beside him, and then sprinkled the potion that can accelerate plant growth, and combined with his own ability, he made the vines grow rapidly in an instant.
When the venomous snake and the vines were entangled with each other, Tealim took out a bottle of black potion from his sleeve, opened the bottle mouth with a little force, and sprinkled it on the venomous snake.
“Let’s see whether it is your poison or my potion poison!” Tealim said softly.
A second later, the scales on the venomous snake were corroded, and the poison began to spread. The venomous snake began to struggle wildly and tore off the vines, but it could not get rid of the poison.
It began to rub its body frantically on the ground, trying to get rid of the black filth, but it fell off a large piece of its flesh and blood.
The grass and tree trunks stained with the potion began to turn black.
A few seconds later, the venomous snake was completely no longer tossing, and its whole body was rotten, looking extremely miserable.
Tealim then used another bottle of white potion to sprinkle on the rotten “long object” and some grass and tree trunks to prevent other people or animals from being contaminated by the venom.
After walking a distance, Tealim found that the mountain became steeper and some stones were randomly distributed, and he might accidentally step on it.
Tealim squinted his eyes and looked at the sun in the sky, distinguished the direction of the destination, and then climbed carefully.
Ten minutes later, he came to the west side of the Zijiao Peak, near the place described by the suspected trader, and then began to look for the cave.
There are many strange trees here, some of which are twisted, giving Tealim a feeling of coming to the dead tree next to the cemetery, which makes him a little scared, but does not make him feel dangerous.
At this time, Tealim controlled the bird to start looking for the cave.
This is another ability of the “hunter”, “taming”, which can tame animals, but it takes a long time.
More than ten minutes later, the bird gave him an accurate answer, and Tealim followed the instructions and moved forward slowly.
Not long after, he saw the cave covered by emerald green vines.
Some vines were broken, and there were traces of snakes crawling and wriggling, but they were not very obvious. Tealim felt that it looked a little strange.
It felt like someone had deliberately destroyed these traces. Was it that person… Tealim released the “taming” of the bird and slowly approached the cave entrance.
He could feel a hint of danger inside, but he was not too surprised. Although the tricolor snake was not as huge as the venomous snake he encountered before, it was very fast and would disguise itself as one of the tricolor vines, making it difficult to distinguish.
And the skull was extremely hard, and it would be directly pierced if you were not careful.
“The hunter who is prepared is the real ‘hunter’!” Tealim muttered, preparing the potion and seeds.
