Chapter 58: My Lord, Ride Me!

Finally, before the Wind of Rest blew, they dug a large pit that could accommodate everyone. Ang and the others were fine, but the one occupying the most space was Naigelis. Don't look at it being only half a meter long from head to tail, but that neck, tail, and flesh wings took up too much space. It alone had to take up the space of five or six skeletons, so they could only dig it bigger.

The wind blew with a whoosh, bringing Ang's thoughts back to the wilderness a few months ago. He couldn't help but reach out his hand, letting the Wind of Rest wrap around his fingers, guiding that cold, gloomy aura down.

A huge horse head poked out from the edge of the pit, looking around tremblingly.

Everyone focused their gaze on it, scaring it into shrinking its head back again.

After a long while, estimating that the Wind of Rest was too hard to endure, and its hooves couldn't dig out a pit that could accommodate itself, it made a difficult choice between being beaten to death and being blown to death by the wind.

Blocking its eyes with its hooves, Lightning pretended to see nothing, slid into the pit with its butt on the ground, and squeezed Naigelis to the side.

Naigelis wanted to flare up, but thought about it and held back. In this situation, driving it out was equivalent to letting it die. The Wind of Rest didn't care whether it was a unicorn or a multi-horn beast, it would blow them all to death.

The pit became quiet. After a long while, hearing no movement, Lightning slightly let go of the hooves covering its eyes. A fist expanded rapidly and punched it on the cheek, making it see stars.

Lightning didn't dare to resist, held its head with both hooves, and held on with the determination that it would rather be beaten to death than go out.

After a beating, the little zombie sat back contentedly, and the angel skeleton also loosened its clenched hands. Its palms held two imperceptible masses of holy light, clearly in a posture of smashing it over if Lightning dared to fight back.

After a long while, Lightning sensed no movement, so it quietly let go of its hooves. At this time, no one paid attention to it anymore. The little zombie and the angel skeleton were both learning from Ang, reaching their hands into the Wind of Rest.

The little zombie had suffered before, only daring to reach out one finger bone, touching it for a while before hurriedly pulling it back, shivering, as if its bones were about to scatter.

The angel skeleton followed suit, reaching out a finger, then shrinking back and shivering, then reaching out again after a while, tireless.

Only Naigelis was still looking up and down at it.

Lightning breathed a sigh of relief, shifting its butt to make itself nest more comfortably.

Naigelis was still staring at it. Lightning couldn't help but shift its butt again. Naigelis kept staring at it, so it kept shifting its butt, restless.

Finally, Naigelis broke the silence: "How did you become Li'Li Ao Na De's mount? Aren't you unicorns the darlings of lightning?"

Lightning curled its lips and said dejectedly: "Those with horns are darlings, those without horns are abandoned children."

"So, you were driven out?" Naigelis understood as soon as it heard. Every species has its own elimination mechanism, and the rarer the species, the more cruel the elimination mechanism.

In human society, even if one is blind or lame, there is a possibility of finding a mate, but rare species are different, such as unicorns and dragons.

As long as there is the slightest defect, they are directly deprived of mating rights, because the number of these species is too small to afford to let any defect be passed on.

And the unicorn's horn is no longer a defect; that is the body itself. A unicorn without a horn can only be counted as a "horse," so Lightning reacted so strongly when others called it a horse.

The dragon race is also like this. Defective dragons are directly driven away, deprived of mating rights, and left to fend for themselves.

But no matter how defective a dragon is, it is still a dragon, so one often hears of dragons doing evil, looting treasures, and forcibly snatching women, leading to waves of warriors going to slay dragons and send themselves to death.

And dragons have another special problem: their demand in that aspect is relatively strong. Without their own kind as mates, they go to mess with different species, messing out a pile of sub-dragons, and even mixed-blood dragon-men.

As for why dragons and humans with such a large size difference can have mixed blood? Because dragons have transformation magic.

In this regard, Naigelis felt deeply, patted Lightning on the shoulder sympathetically, and expressed sympathy for this unicorn that had lost its mating rights.

"Then you wouldn't have to mix with Li'Li Ao Na De, you are not the same type of thing." Naigelis said.

Being able to tolerate Lightning coming in, instead of tearing its mouth apart on the spot, was because everyone felt that there was no aggression on its body. Although its mouth was stinky and it spoke very unpleasantly, there was no aggression on its body.

All its abilities seemed to be pointed at dodging and running away. Its footwork was light and flexible, its speed was galloping forward, but it never attacked people, only kicking Lu Se with one hoof.

However, thinking about it now, that hoof kicking Lu Se was probably just to borrow force.

And what kind of thing is Li'Li Ao Na De? Arrogant, conceited, cold-blooded, cruel, rude, self-righteous... how could he get the allegiance of a unicorn? Unless there was some kind of mandatory constraint.

Lightning hesitated for a while and didn't speak.

On the other side of the pit, Ang reached out a hand, one hand disappeared, his shoulders shrugged, and he was distracted to plant his vegetables again.

The angel skeleton played the game of reaching out fingers for a while, felt it had played enough, so it crawled to Ang's side, comparing its shoulders, palms, and face to Ang.

Ang knew what it meant, it was wanting him to help it recover, but now Ang's two hands were not free. Seeing it getting closer and closer, Ang pulled his left hand back and pushed it to the side. After a while, the angel skeleton leaned over again.

Lightning didn't know the relationship between Ang and the angel skeleton, but looking at their interaction, it felt quite touched. Because of the defect on its body, it was driven out, and Lightning had no companions since it was small.

"Do you know about the Holy Essence Liquid of the Church of Light?" Lightning suddenly turned its head and asked.

Naigelis understood as soon as it heard, and said with a strange expression: "You want to take the Holy Essence Liquid to treat the horn on your head, wanting to let it grow out again?"

"Right, you also know the effect of the Holy Essence Liquid? Quite knowledgeable. Li'Li Ao Na De also said you guys are abyss barbarians who haven't seen the world. Since you know, I don't need to explain in detail. That Holy Essence Liquid has the effect of limb regeneration. Soaking the wound in it can let the broken limb grow out again.

A small bottle of essence liquid sells for more than a thousand magic crystals in the human world. It's too expensive. Li'Li Ao Na De promised that as long as I work for him, he will give me essence liquid. Now it's good, the hope is shattered." Lightning sighed with some regret at the end.

Naigelis had a black face. It once again confirmed that the horn on this unicorn's head must have been beaten off because its mouth was stinky.

"You mean it's our fault? Making you lose the opportunity to treat your broken horn?" Naigelis said.

"That's not it. I also couldn't stand this Li'Li Ao Na De for a long time. If it weren't for not being able to beat him, I would have stomped him to death long ago. He takes me out every day to seduce noblewomen and civilian women." Lightning said hatefully.

"Actually..." Naigelis said here, leaned toward Ang and said something. Ang then took out a bottle from the Palace of Rest and gave it to it.

"Actually, the Holy Essence Liquid isn't only available in the Church of Light, we have it here too, and the price is cheaper. Do you want to try it?" Naigelis held the bottle in front of Lightning, shaking the transparent liquid inside.

Opening the lid and smelling it, Lightning's eyes immediately brightened: "Real Holy Essence Liquid?! How much?"

"Five hundred magic crystals." Naigelis shook the four fingers of its claws.

"So cheap?" Lightning widened its eyes in disbelief: "It's really too cheap, half the price. It wouldn't be fake, right? I can't afford it."

Hearing the first part, Naigelis was quite happy, thinking the business was coming. Even if it only sold for five hundred magic crystals, it would make a fortune. The last time it was sold through a middleman, twenty-five hundred milliliters only sold for fifteen hundred magic crystals.

Now there was no middleman, one hundred milliliters per bottle, selling for five hundred magic crystals was eight times more than the last time.

However, the last sentence made Naigelis's eyes go black: "If you don't have money, why are you talking about a tornado!"

"If I had money, would I need to work for Li'Li Ao Na De!" Lightning roared even louder: "My broken horn probably won't be enough with one bottle. If I need three, five, seven, or eight bottles, I can't afford it even more. But just having essence liquid is useless, it also needs holy light to activate to exert its effect. Where can I find holy light?"

Before the words were finished, it saw holy light shining on Ang's side.

Unable to withstand the angel skeleton's pestering, Ang had to pull his right hand that was reaching into the Wind of Rest back, casting Purification Art to treat it. Visible to the naked eye, flesh and skin grew rapidly on the skeleton.

Lightning stared with wide eyes for a while, then looked at Naigelis in disbelief.

Only seeing Naigelis raise its eyebrows: "How about it? Do you want to buy it? Five hundred magic crystals a bottle, including holy light treatment."

Dawn came, the Wind of Rest gradually subsided. Ang, who left the large pit, was hugged by a unicorn on his thigh: "My lord, ride me, you ride me, as long as you give me enough essence liquid to let my horn grow out, I will serve you wholeheartedly. My lord, ride me."

Unable to refuse, Ang had to ride up. The little zombie rode up without a word, the angel skeleton rode up, and finally Naigelis also sat on its butt.

Lightning, who had something to ask for, had to force a smile, carrying the four guys and galloping toward the distance.

Returning to the camp where they fought yesterday, the battlefield had long been cleaned up, and even most of the people had been transferred into Bingcheng. The remaining people also lived in tents. When dawn came, these tents would also be collected. Tents that could resist the Wind of Rest were good things, and everyone wanted them.

For these spoils of war, last night, the Bingcheng represented by Lu Se and Anna, and the Lich City represented by Feilin and Miss Lisha, had argued for a while, basically determining the ownership of these spoils of war.

However, before that, they still had to wait for Ang to return, show the spoils of war to Ang, and let Ang pick first.

"My lord, this is the God's Knight badge searched from Li'Li Ao Na De. Don't know why, there is a symbol that keeps flashing. This kind of thing, only the lord can control." Miss Lisha presented an exquisite badge.

Ang took it casually, but his attention wasn't on these spoils of war, but on the Never-Drying Spring Stone in the center of the camp.

The Never-Drying Spring Stone was put out by the people of the Church of Light to collect drinking water, but after the camp was broken, no one put it away. After a night of blowing by the Wind of Rest, a small pool of black liquid condensed at its bottom. ===== CHAPTER 59 =====
