Chapter 208: Chapter 146: Unicorn Showdown, Xiaobai’s Final Strike
Lin Chen’s forehead was sweating.
The wolf doesn’t play by the rules. Logically speaking, since it considers itself high-Level and is the Beast King’s Cub, upon seeing two Spirit Beasts that are even Low Level compared to itself, it should be proud and prefer a one-on-two.
But to start by encircling them, that’s very unethical.
Actually, according to the Ghost Hunting Wolf’s personality, under normal circumstances, it wouldn’t mind humiliating them a bit. But when it arrived, its father had repeatedly instructed to capture the Unicorn as quickly as possible.
This Unicorn is vital to the Demon Race’s grand plan; there can’t be any mistakes.
The Ghost Hunting Wolf kept this in mind, which is why it doesn’t want to toy around with Xiaobai and the others.
So, it began with encircling them, planning to take Lin Chen and his friends down together.
In an instant, the battle was about to ignite, and all the Little Demon Beasts swarmed in, aiming to capture the Unicorn to achieve merit.
Xiaobai and the Nine Tribulation Beasts immediately shifted to their evolved forms.
These Demon Beasts are generally Low Level, but there are more than ten of them at Level 28.
Continuing like this, Xiaobai and the Nine Tribulation Beasts are bound to be defeated.
Lin Chen was protected at the front by the Iron Palm Bear, and he furrowed his brow.
Going on like this won’t work...
So, let’s take a gamble.
He glanced at the Little Fox, which immediately understood his intention, suddenly climbed onto the Big White Bear’s head, and threw a Super Fireball into the air.
Amidst the chaotic battle, no one noticed.
The Ghost Hunting Wolf saw Xiaobai and the Nine Tribulation Beasts were indeed strong, decided not to wait any longer, and intended to attack personally, summoning all High-Level Demon Beasts together, aiming to capture them in one move to avoid future complications.
At this moment, Lin Chen raised his hand and said, "Alright, I’ll give it to you!"
Fang You and Bai Ling were taken aback, and then Lin Chen brusquely grabbed the Unicorn from Bai Ling’s hand, holding it tightly.
The Unicorn was naturally shocked, then bit into Lin Chen’s hand.
Lin Chen winced in pain, nearly letting it escape, but luckily, at the critical moment, the Big White Bear proved reliable, slapping the Unicorn with its paw.
Its bear paw was like steel, causing tears to flow from the Unicorn’s eyes, prompting it to quickly let go.
Lin Chen held on to it, saying, "That’s enough, right?"
The Ghost Hunting Beast glanced at Lin Chen with satisfaction, intending to step forward and retrieve the Unicorn when Lin Chen added, "Others have obtained the Unicorn with difficulty, and now to hand it over to you just like that, naturally, it won’t do. You should at least allow them an emotional farewell."
The Ghost Hunting Wolf furrowed its brow, wondering what trick Lin Chen was trying to play.
Lin Chen’s voice continued, pointing at Bai Ling, "Look at her, isn’t she so fragile? If she can’t handle this sudden turn and kicks the bucket, the Spirit Academy might hold you accountable, which I’m sure you guys wouldn’t want to see."
The Ghost Hunting Wolf heard Spirit Academy and its gaze turned wary.
It nodded, signaling it would allow them to say farewell.
Lin Chen then pulled the Unicorn to Bai Ling, intending to give a hint, but unexpectedly, the Unicorn started crying loudly, prompting Bai Ling to comfort it, unsure if she truly understood or not.
For a moment, human and beast bid farewell, evoking tears.
Unfortunately, the Ghost Hunting Wolf was heartless, watching around warily, calling out, meaning:
Is it done?
"Just two more minutes," Lin Chen said, observing the surroundings as he spoke.
The Ghost Hunting Wolf didn’t have the patience any longer, just as it was about to snatch the Unicorn away.
Unexpectedly, Lin Chen’s move was quicker; he grabbed the Unicorn in one step and raised it high, shouting loudly:
"Fellow students, the Unicorn concerns the Human Race’s future; it must not fall into the hands of the Demon Beasts!"
"This place is a relic where Human Race ancestors fought; how can we let them run rampant!"
The Ghost Hunting Wolf paused slightly upon hearing this, then swung its wolf paws, charging towards Lin Chen.
Xiaobai and the Nine Tribulation Beasts urgently made a move to stop it, but the difference in strength was too great, causing them to be knocked away simultaneously.
Bai Ling and Fang You then realized Lin Chen’s plan was a delaying tactic.
He intended to rally the academy students to join forces.
But as the sound fell, the surrounding forest echoed no response.
Xiaobai and the Nine Tribulation Beasts were thrown a distance away, and the Ghost Hunting Wolf approached Lin Chen rapidly.
At this moment, Lin Chen also sighed, speaking to the Unicorn: "Little Fatty, I’ve done my best."
"Croak~"
The Unicorn cried out, indicating it understood.
Lin Chen placed the Unicorn on the ground, which looked back at Bai Ling with teary eyes...
Bai Ling’s eyes were also red.
The Ghost Hunting Wolf bent down, its wolf paw reaching for the Unicorn, about to grab it.
At this moment, an unexpected change occurred; a voice resounded across the sky.
"At the site of our ancestors’ relic, we should fight!"
Looking towards the source of the voice, they saw a girl standing on top of an elephant, striding forward.
Her short hair, her spirited demeanor, at this moment, in Lin Chen’s eyes, she resembled a female hero from a story.
Following her call, several voices came one after another.
"I, Wu San, join the battle!"
"I, Chen Hua, join the battle!"
...
With the appearance of voices, human figures and Spirit Beasts gradually emerged.
However, their numbers weren’t large, just about eight people.
Some had tracked the beasts here, like this girl named Zhang Suqing, the second person of her year to reach the fortieth floor, now stepping onto the forty-ninth floor.
Some, saw the Little Fox’s Super Fireball and came rushing.
In terms of numbers, they indeed lagged behind, but it finally brought a glimmer of hope.
The Unicorn saw this as promising, jumped back into Lin Chen’s hands.
The Ghost Hunting Wolf, furious, howled, signaling the beast horde not to hold back, aiming to crush all the people and beasts.
In an instant, the battle was about to erupt.
Every student was filled with passion, giving orders to their Spirit Beasts, joining the battlefield.
