Chapter: Unicorn Subspecies
Over a dozen unicorn subspecies were powerful and began breaking free from the shackles of necromancy.
Pupils shrinking slightly, Maureen looked panicked. "It's over! Mr. Barron isn't here. Others are no match for these unicorn subspecies!"
In addition to the necromancer Barron, the caravan bodyguards also included five mercenaries.
But Maureen had hired the mercenaries for cheapness. The five mercenaries weren't strong and couldn't beat so many unicorn subspecies.
"Don't panic. I'll deal with them."
Cheng Yu stood up.
As if seeing a savior, Maureen walked to Cheng Yu and asked anxiously, "Sir, can you deal with these dozen unicorn subspecies?"
"Yes, I can, but you have to agree to one condition of mine."
Cheng Yu looked at Maureen's exquisite body.
Being stared at by Cheng Yu, Maureen felt a bit embarrassed.
Blushing slightly, she lowered her head and glanced at Cheng Yu's handsome face with sword eyebrows and starry eyes from the corner of her eyes.
It seems worth it for such a handsome guy to covet my body.
Some indescribable images emerged in her mind.
"Okay. For the caravan, any conditions are acceptable," Maureen said shyly.
"Give me back the five silver coins."
Cheng Yu had gone to Black Stone City with Maureen's caravan and paid five silver coins for the fare.
Get the five silver coins back—save as much as possible.
"Is this the condition you're talking about?" Maureen's eyes were filled with resentment.
"Yes. Otherwise, what did you think it was?" Cheng Yu asked back.
"Nothing."
Maureen took out five silver coins and gave them to Cheng Yu.
At the same time, over a dozen unicorn subspecies broke through the shackles of necromancy and rushed toward the caravan with excited screams.
Cheng Yu walked to the front, ready to fight these unicorn subspecies.
However, these unicorn subspecies didn't attack Cheng Yu or the others but bypassed the crowd and went straight to the caravan's horses.
A unicorn subspecies mounted a mare and began mating with the caravan's mares.
???
!!!
Cheng Yu and the others were confused and shocked.
These unicorn subspecies were actually coming for the mares in the caravan!
Cheng Yu had just been wondering why the unicorn subspecies—docile herbivores—would intercept the caravan. Turned out they were seduced by the beauty of the caravan's mares.
"Miss Maureen, those unicorn subspecies are tarnishing the innocence of your caravan mares. Do you still want to kill them?" Cheng Yu asked Maureen behind him.
"No! Don't do it! Don't interfere with them! Let them do it!" Maureen stopped him.
Let the mares in the caravan mate with the unicorn subspecies and give birth to offspring with unicorn blood. This wave—blood profit.
Cheng Yu stood aside and watched the unicorn subspecies mate with the mares.
I've watched love action movies by teachers from island countries before, but this is my first time watching a horse movie. Different experience.
After the unicorn subspecies mated with the caravan's mares, they jumped and ran away happily.
At that moment, Scarface Barron came back carrying the girl in the black dress.
"Where are those damn unicorn subspecies? My wife was violated by them! I want to fight them to the death!"
Barron was furious and cursed.
Cheng Yu pointed to the direction where the unicorn subspecies left. "They're already gone."
"Hmph~ Don't let me catch them next time!"
Barron snorted coldly, put the girl in the black dress back into the black coffin, closed the coffin lid, and carried the black coffin on his back.
Everyone returned to the carriage. The caravan continued moving forward.
Cheng Yu and the necromancer Barron sat in the same carriage.
Barron recognized Cheng Yu as the man he'd met in the cemetery last time. "Huh? Why is it you?"
"Hello. My name is Cheng Yu."
Cheng Yu smiled and greeted Barron.
"My name is Barron Fred." Barron introduced himself.
"Is your wife okay?"
"There was a hole in her chest. I'll go back and find some flesh and blood to mend it," Barron said with some distress.
"I remember your wife was dug up a month ago. Why didn't she rot?"
Cheng Yu and Barron started chatting.
Barron took out a half-inch-high bottle from his pocket and said proudly, "Because I used this for my wife."
"What's this?"
Cheng Yu looked at the small bottle in Barron's hand.
"I use a dozen kinds of plants to prepare the preservative—all natural," Barron said.
The commonly used preservatives in food in the 21st century included sodium benzoate, potassium sorbate, etc.
As the saying went, it was rogue to not judge toxicity by dosage. Though preservatives were harmful to the human body, the harm could be almost ignored because the added dosage was very small.
There were no preservatives for sale in the system store.
Cheng Yu hadn't expected someone in this other world could make a preservative potion.
Cheng Yu recalled the lifelike appearance of the black-dressed girl just now. Barron's preservative potion seems to have a good preservative effect.
"Is your preservative potion harmful to the human body?" Cheng Yu asked.
"Absolutely harmless," Barron said confidently.
"Can you sell me some?"
Cheng Yu wanted to buy some to try. In the future, when making cakes and other foods that couldn't be kept fresh for long, preservatives could be added.
"Twenty silver coins a bottle."
"Twenty silver coins for such a small bottle?"
If this preservative was converted into equal weight of gold, it was more expensive than gold.
"This is a concentrated solution that can be diluted before use."
Barron began explaining to Cheng Yu how to use his preservative.
Along the way, except for encountering the group of unicorn subspecies, no other troubles were encountered.
Two days later in the afternoon, the caravan arrived at Black Stone City.
Barron said goodbye to Cheng Yu with the black coffin on his back. "Friend, I live at No. 233 Dongxue Street, Snow City. If you still need this potion, you can come to Snow City to find me."
"Well, if the effect is good, I'll come to you again."
Cheng Yu wrote down Barron's address.
Black Stone City was similar to Snow City—a tall wall around the main city and guards at the gate.
There were many pedestrians and mobile vendors on the street, and large and small shops on both sides of the street.
Cheng Yu didn't enter Black Stone City and asked a guard, "Sir, I want to ask if there's a dragon disaster near your Black Stone City?"
"There's an evil dragon entrenched in the northern forest. It's best not to go to the northern forest," the guard warned.
"Okay, thank you, sir."
Cheng Yu went directly to the forest in the north.
The dragons of the Celsis Continent were the most common—with red dragons, white dragons, black dragons, blue dragons, and green dragons.
Five-color dragons were born with five different powers, but there were very few pure five-color dragons. Most were subspecies of five-color dragons—hybrids.
According to the introduction in The Encyclopedia of Plants and Fauna of Celsis Continent, dragon meat was very rough and wasn't a good ingredient from a gourmet perspective.
Cheng Yu walked along the city wall and came to the north gate of Black Stone City.
Standing at the city gate, he could see the top of a mountain in the north was pitch black. The rest of the forest was green, but the top was black—very eye-catching.
Red dragons controlled the power of fire. Cheng Yu guessed the evil dragon on the mountaintop should be a red dragon, but he didn't know how strong it was.
If I can beat it, fight. If I can't beat it, run.
He walked alone toward the northern forest.
The mountain wasn't far from Snow City—about six or seven miles away. Walking, he could get there in less than an hour.
Standing at the foot of the mountain, he could feel the rolling heat wave coming toward him.
