The unicorn's speed was truly incredible, and its spiritual perception was keen. It avoided many dangerous ferocious birds and beasts, and by noon, it had already covered three to four hundred li.
This unicorn was truly extraordinary—crossing mountains and ridges as if walking on flat ground. It was astonishingly fast.
Over the past few days, they had traveled thousands of li. With a creature like the unicorn, covering distance was extremely fast. Along the way, they crossed mountains and ravines, avoided many demons, and searched numerous locations, yet still found no trace of the target.
Of course, it was unavoidable that several fierce battles occurred. Even now, they still hadn't completely shaken off their pursuer, a multicolored giant worm had been chasing them for two days.
That demon was relentless. As long as Fang Yu and the unicorn stopped, it would track them by scent and catch up, refusing to let go.
It was a massive worm dozens of meters long, terrifyingly strong, with thick, tough skin. When it opened its mouth, it spat out a mass of viscous liquid that corroded rock walls into countless holes.
According to Fang Yu's estimation, it was far more powerful than any demon he had encountered before. The only fortunate thing was that it couldn't catch up to the unicorn.
"Let's go. Otherwise, that giant worm will catch up again," Fang Yu said as he mounted up. He believed that after several days of nonstop pursuit without rest, the worm would eventually grow exhausted and give up.
The unicorn raised its head and let out a long neigh, its entire body shimmering with silver light.
Suddenly, Fang Yu was startled. "Quick, it's here again!"
"Pfft!"
Just as they rushed forward, a wave surged in from behind, hazy and overwhelming. When it fell upon the mountains, all ancient trees and rocks were instantly dissolved, hissing as they turned into white smoke.
With a buzzing sound, a brilliant radiance followed, descending like a net from heaven, covering the area.
"Move!" Fang Yu shouted.
With a loud boom, the land split apart, smoke and dust billowing. By a narrow margin, they managed to rush away into the distance.
A five-colored giant worm appeared, as thick as a water vat, its entire body shimmering with dazzling runes. It wasn't a python, yet looked even more ferocious. Roaring in fury, it had missed them by just a little again. Twisting its massive body, it flattened the entire forest.
Suddenly, a bird cry rang out. In the sky, it was as if a dark cloud had fallen. A gigantic bird, over a hundred meters in size, swooped down from above the clouds.
The giant worm panicked, hurriedly raising its head and spewing radiant energy, using its innate demonic technique to resist.
"Pfft!"
The fierce bird blotted out the sky and sun. Opening its mouth, it unleashed a torrent of flame like a flowing galaxy, crashing down. The entire mountain region was flattened, rocks flying into the air. The giant worm was instantly blasted into several pieces.
The massive bird dived down and began a bloody feast!
This was the wilderness, danger lurked everywhere, and terrifying demons were everywhere. One moment, a creature might stand in glory; the next, it could become food for another.
This was a world where the strong devoured the weak. Everything was drenched in blood, there was no reasoning to be had.
And Fang Yu had to search for his target in such a wilderness. It could be said that countless hardships and dangers awaited him along the way.
After that, Fang Yu fought many bloody battles, encountering countless dangers and slaying numerous demons.
In just eight or nine days, his clothes were already tattered. Several sets had been soaked in blood and torn apart.
Along this journey, after less than ten days of relentless fighting, he had practically turned into a wild man, his body covered in demon blood, with no time to wash.
Even his unicorn mount had already perished in the Variegated Mountain Range.
Two more days passed.
Fang Yu wandered alone within a forest of withered trees, having lost his sense of direction.
Here, every dead tree around him looked exactly the same. The ground was covered with fallen leaves, making it impossible to distinguish direction, a terrain like a maze.
Tired from walking, he sat down to rest for a moment, wondering whether he should forcibly cast magic to break through, rather than continue wandering aimlessly in this forest of dead trees.
"Ahhh!!!"
Suddenly, a series of screams came from another direction within the forest. The miserable cries echoed throughout the withered woods, sending chills down one's spine.
"Human screams, so there really is something wrong?"
Fang Yu's expression turned serious.
He ran toward the source of the screams. As he moved, a gust of wind brushed past, carrying a thick smell of blood from the direction ahead.
Shortly after, when Fang Yu arrived at the scene, he saw dense vines forming a plant cage at the center, protecting a figure within.
"Puff! Puff! Puff!"
Several withered trees around had actually uprooted themselves, using their roots to crawl along the ground. Their branches were as sharp as spears, terrifyingly deadly continuously stabbing toward the plant cage at incredible speed.
Fang Yu quickly looked around again. Two middle-aged men wearing military-green uniforms had their hearts pierced through, blood dripping down their bodies. It seemed these were the source of the screams.
Suddenly, a sharp withered trunk violently thrust toward Fang Yu. The one attacking him was the very dead tree he had been standing on!
Fang Yu immediately leapt up, avoiding the strike. However, before he could land midair.
"Bang! Bang~~~"
The surrounding Withered Tree Spirits had already encircled him. He saw thick trunks swinging down from all directions above his head.
"Spatial Rhythm · Delay!"
Seeing that escape was impossible, Fang Yu immediately traced out a silver star map. Silver radiance enveloped his entire body.
The space centered around him suddenly slowed, even the airflow becoming extremely sluggish.
The attacking trunks entered a field where time was slowed, their speed dropping drastically.
"That was close!"
Fang Yu landed from midair and retreated several steps, barely avoiding the attack.
"Little Snow Maiden, Possession!"
Fang Yu summoned the Little Snow Maiden. The porcelain doll-like small figure crashed straight into his chest, instantly freezing his entire body. Ice-blue frost surged outward with explosive force, spreading into the surroundings.
The next moment, Fang Yu immediately released his magic. Frost-white radiance blossomed, and more and more frost-white ice and snow appeared. Some fell onto the ground, some gently and orderly circled around him, while even more danced in midair, awaiting his command!
Standing amidst this expanse of frost-white ice and snow, Fang Yu's figure was upright and proud, like a sovereign of snow descending from the peak of a snow mountain.
"Ice Phoenix Spreading Wings!"
Fang Yu's voice carried a trace of majesty as it fell.
All the ice and snow filling the air, ground, and forest soared into the sky, forming two lifelike ice phoenixes above him!
The two ice phoenixes had enormous wings and long feathers, soaring through the sky. Moments later, one of them locked onto the Withered Tree Spirits on the ground and dived down from the sky, bringing with it a vast mist of frost.
The Withered Tree Spirits slammed their roots heavily into the ground. Immediately, thick tree trunks burst out of the earth, merging together to form a perfect barrier, protecting the group beneath.
The ice phoenix crashed onto the defense, erupting into a massive burst of freezing frost.
