Volume 2 Honoring Robin Chapter 20: Use the Magic of Friendship Quickly
"Buzz"
Two small reconnaissance drones quickly flew through the dark jungle, faithfully transmitting everything around them back to the operators.
Mason followed Zha Kang forward with a tablet in hand, and could hear the continuous explosions behind him.
That's the Kite Man using engineering bombs to disperse the annoying number of Centaur zombies.
Of course, theoretically speaking, Team K is the invader of the Forbidden Forest. This dark forest, whose size no one knows, is the traditional territory of the Centaurs.
But in this situation, is Mason going to talk about human rights with a group of zombie monsters?
"They are very careful. I can hardly find any traces other than footprints. The legends about unicorns are all correct. The whole nature is protecting them.
Even if they are already infected with the virus.”
Zha Kang held a cigarette in his mouth while maintaining the tracking magic, and whispered:
"If I could catch a unicorn and give it to Zuckerberg, I think I could repair our awkward relationship."
"I thought you were a prodigal."
Mason said without looking up:
"And to be honest, I'm tired of talking about your relationship with Zuckerberg. I don't care about your life at all. Why don't you find someone new?"
"I wouldn't stop for any woman, poor virgin Mason."
Zha Kang pouted his lips, blew out smoke rings and said:
"But I guess every man has a time when he becomes obsessed with a woman who is perfect in his eyes, even a dark wizard like me who is spurned by both heaven and hell.
Just like Selina and Bruce Wayne, there really is such a thing as 'the one' in this world... What are you doing?
Lace up your shoes?
"No, picking herbs."
Mason squatted down and took out a delicate little shovel. He carefully pulled up a herb that looked like a horseshoe by the roots, carefully observed its shape, and then put it into his bag.
"Successfully complete a standard herb collection, and your proficiency in collecting (herbs) skills will be improved."
The prompt text flashed on the translucent light screen in front of Mason's eyes, and the young man stood up with satisfaction, looking at the dark and silent forest around him and said:
"You are right, John. This is indeed a rich land. Perhaps your permanent stay here can open up a herb field for us."
"Then you'd better find me some good-looking, obedient and skillful servants among the pirates in another world. This job is not something that ordinary people can do."
Zha Kang snorted, but did not express a clear refusal.
The two continued to search forward. Catwoman, wearing an invisibility cloak, wandered beside them, but even Zha Kang could not detect Selina's breath even if he tried hard to feel.
All I can say is that Catwoman is really good at this kind of assassin work.
"The footprints are gone."
A few minutes later, Constantine, who had already entered the forbidden forest, looked at the footprints that disappeared before his eyes. He scratched his head and said:
"We lost him."
"No, they're nearby."
Mason noticed a dried silver spot on a stone at his feet. He squatted down and reached out to touch it. The information tag told him that it was dried unicorn blood.
"They are injured, and we may be close to their nest. Be careful. The Hogwarts Potions Book states that unicorns are not only pure creatures, but can also be very dangerous when angered.
They are wild creatures.”
Mason raised his voice and released more drones to search nearby. He looked at the screen in his hand that was divided into eight parts and whispered:
"I feel more and more that I need technological support. Perhaps I should replicate a batch of bat drones. That's the reconnaissance method I want."
"Down there! Mason."
Selina's voice came from the shadows and said:
"There's a hidden tunnel below covered by vines. Come down quickly. I heard some movement in there."
"Walk!"
Mason walked quickly forward, while Zha Kang cautiously left a teleportation rune on the spot before lying down on the hillside in front of them.
As they approached the hidden tunnel, the three heard the sound of war horses trampling the ground. A black shadow rushed out of the tunnel, raised its front hooves and neighed loudly towards Mason and Zha Kang.
It was a white unicorn.
It looks like a handsome warhorse, with a tail mane that is exaggeratedly beautiful to the point of being indescribable. It also has white mane similar to cloud mane from the top of its head to its neck.
But some of its body details are similar to those of reindeer.
Of course, the most eye-catching thing is the spiral horn on the forehead of this beautiful creature. This thing is slender and sharp like a horn, and it can even flash a faint light in the dim environment.
"Look at its hind legs. The virus is infecting it. I really don't know how to describe it, but it seems to be in a semi-transformed state?"
Zha Kang immediately saw the not-so-holy part of the unicorn.
As he said, the entire hind legs and half of the body of this elegant creature had turned gray, as if it was "withered."
The abnormal stench came from the infected wound, and some blood, which was no longer silver, flowed out of it.
Mason now understood what the item hint for the unicorn's mane meant.
The blood in its body has begun to be contaminated by the virus!
"superior!"
Mason raised his gun and said to his men:
"Look at its eyes. The scarlet light in its eyes means the virus is attacking its brain. It is beyond saving. Let's free this sacred creature."
"I want its horn!"
Zha Kang's magic appeared almost at the same time as Mason's words.
This unscrupulous guy had been waiting for this moment. He shaped the flaming hands of the scorching green fireflies and smashed them forward, causing the temperature around him to rise rapidly.
At the same time that Constantine launched his magic attack, Selina, under the cover of her invisibility cloak, swung her sword at the violent unicorn, but did not attack directly.
The cunning Catwoman twirled the blade with exquisite skill, causing the blinding light burst of Sujie's Eagle to instantly blind the Unicorn as it prepared to charge.
It jumped on the spot and was hit by Zha Kang's magic, and instantly became weak from the torture of the flames.
It was hit twice by Mason's petrifying bullets while wailing. The magical animal had a high resistance to magic, but it was still petrified on the spot for two full seconds. Then Selena, who had come up to it, nimbly jumped over it and rode on it. The sharp Sujie's Eagle pierced into the unicorn's brain along its ear.
Selena, who came to save her old lover, was extremely ruthless. After the sword pierced into the beast, she turned her wrist and completely cut off the last chance of life of the sacred creature.
The perfect coordination of Team K allowed them to kill the unicorn almost instantly.
Of course, this is also closely related to the latter being infected by the zombie virus, resulting in a "decline in intelligence". Normally, the unicorn would not be so stupid as to get so close to the enemy.
They are magical animals and they can do magic!
It is said that the unicorn runs as fast as the wind. If it wants to run, these three people will most likely not be able to catch up.
"Don't touch its blood! Selina, back off!"
Mason put the gun back into the weapon slot behind him and shouted to Catwoman. Zack explained beside him:
“But in some legend, harming a unicorn is an unforgivable sin, and now the three of us are all stigmatized with a guilty aura.
If you encounter similar legendary creatures in other places in the future, you will definitely be disgusted.
It will be even more troublesome if you are stained with this sinful blood.
They say you will age instantly."
Hearing these eerie words, Catwoman jumped several steps away.
"Don't listen to him, the curse isn't that scary."
Mason took out a few containers that he had prepared long ago, put on special gloves and went forward to collect blood. He then said to the curious Catwoman:
“And only those who drink this sinful blood will be cursed to become an undead ghost… Well, the color is still silver, but it’s a little impure.
It may need some subsequent filtering and processing, which will reduce the effect.
But it’s still very strong.”
The young man held the test tube full of blood in front of him, and was relieved by the information label that it was "slightly contaminated unicorn blood."
Just as Mason was doing something bad in the eyes of the wizards, the Kite Man also arrived.
He felt regretful that he could not take part in the battle with the legendary creature like the unicorn, but soon, when Mason and the other two were pointing and talking around the corpse of the unicorn, Charles was attracted by the cave behind him.
He took a look at the dead unicorn lying on the ground and was quite confused. Logically speaking, shouldn't such an intelligent creature run away as soon as it is attacked?
Is there something in this cave that this magical animal can't give up?
Treasure?
With this thought in mind, Kite Man turned on the illumination beam on the arm of his battle suit, held a gun and pushed aside the vines and walked in. A few seconds later, this third-tier villain of Gotham strode out, waving his hands at his team members and screaming:
"Quick! Come in! There's another one in there! She needs help!"
"Hmm? Her?"
Mason and the other two immediately turned around and looked at the shocked Kite Man suspiciously.
After realizing the problem, Team K immediately rushed into the cave. Zha Kang threw out a ball of light to illuminate the cave, and the four of them soon saw what was in the deepest part of the dark and damp cave.
"Oh my god, she's totally infected."
Selina said with some reluctance.
There was another unicorn lying in front of them. Unlike the one outside the cave which was only in the early stages of infection, this one had already transformed into a zombie with most of its body.
Its supposedly holy face had turned ugly and hideous, and even the horn on its forehead was about to fall off, but Charles said the reason why "she" needed help was in the unicorn's belly.
There was an obvious bulge there, which formed a sharp contrast with its thin body, as if all the nutrients of the body were concentrated in the abdomen.
It's more like a pregnancy of ten months.
The polluted unicorn did not struggle when it saw so many people rushing in. It just let out a series of mournful cries and touched her abdomen with its bloody hoof.
"She's begging us to help her...her baby."
At this moment, even Zha Kang, who longed for the unicorn's magic horn, felt a little reluctant.
This scumbag still has some bottom line after all.
He lit the cigarette, glanced at Mason, and said:
“Can you deliver a horse?”
"Won't."
Mason glanced at the hunting knife in his hand and said uncertainly:
"But I can probably learn on the spot. I'm a fast learner."
"We killed the child's father... It makes my conscience uncomfortable, to be honest."
The sentimental Catwoman turned her face away, as if she really felt that she had done something unforgivable. Instead, Kite Man took off his arm armor, rolled up his sleeves and said to his teammates:
"Guys, I grew up on a farm in Montana. I'm going to have to ask you two to cooperate with me this time. But boss, we have to make sure this zombie unicorn won't bite us first."
"You're afraid of a bird!"
Zha Kang took out the zombie vaccine from his bag and gave each member of Team K an injection.
Then the four of them joined the battle, with Zha Kang in charge of magically protecting the fetus and controlling the zombie unicorn mother. Kite Man was the "midwife" and Catwoman was his "midwife".
Mason, holding a hunting knife, is ready to serve as the surgeon at any time.
"I don't know if you can still hear me, but we will help you. Don't bite us. Just hold on a little longer."
Mason knelt beside the mother unicorn's body, looked into the now graying eyes and whispered something, and then the kite man began to help.
The whole process was very difficult.
Because zombie creatures will have their fat melted and their muscles atrophied, it would be impossible for the little unicorn to be born, so Mason had to play the role of a caesarean section doctor.
Fortunately, Lv2 first aid is barely enough to deal with this situation.
It took everyone ten minutes of hard work to finally take a little creature covered in strange mucus out of the belly of the zombie unicorn mother.
But when the little white horse was taken out, Kite Man and Catwoman sighed at the same time.
There was no movement, he might be dead.
Mason took a look at the wailing unicorn, then he reached out and touched the pony, looked at the prompt, and immediately took out all the healing potions and energy potions he had.
"Give it water! There is still hope!"
The young man shouted:
"It's just born malnourished. You have to believe in the magic of unicorn blood. This little guy may be the last living life in this world.
"Zuck Kang, throw your fucking magic at me! I know you're a scumbag, but you can use your evil magic to do something good now, and Xiao Zha will forgive you for it, believe me."
"Why are its horns this color?"
Zha Kang immediately used evil magic to extract a small ball of life energy from each of the four of them, grabbed it in his hand, ran over to take a look, and suddenly his eyes became strange.
According to records, the horn of a baby unicorn should be golden, but this little guy's horn is gray-black.
Looks like he has no energy at all.
" Maybe it's toxin enrichment?"
Mason came up with an idea, and then when he was about to get up, he noticed the umbilical cord of the little unicorn that had fallen off. His eyes lit up and he rushed over to take the thing in his hand.
The information tag pops up immediately:
Unicorn cord blood
Quality: Legendary Alchemical Material
Item Description:
This is the only way to get pure blood without harming the unicorn, but considering that the unicorn mother will not choose to ask humans to help deliver the baby, the difficulty of getting it is basically equivalent to killing a shark by racing in the desert.
Tip: This item is one of the necessary materials for making "Elixir of Life" and "Philosopher's Stone".
“Big profit!”
Mason grinned and carefully placed the small amount of blood into the container.
It wasn't much, just enough to fill three crystal bottles, but if used sparingly it would definitely be enough for Mason to use for a long time. This level of material was calculated by the drop each time it was used.
While he was dealing with the umbilical cord blood, the three guys over there frantically used magic and potions to mess around, and actually succeeded in making the motionless little unicorn struggle and give its first cry.
Upon hearing the noise, the unicorn mother, who had closed her eyes and waited for death, suddenly raised her head and let out a roar of joy with all her might.
But the action took all her strength.
With a bang.
Her slender neck hit the stone, and the dull horn fell from her forehead.
Mason couldn't see the emotions in the unicorn mother's eyes, but he could feel that she was thanking them, the murderers of her husband, and begging Mason to give her an ending.
"We'll take care of it, I promise."
The young man half-knelt in front of the unicorn mother with a giant hunting knife in his hand. He whispered something and casually inserted the hunting knife into the ear of the weak unicorn.
"Successfully performed a melee execution and killed a legendary creature. Combat skill proficiency increased by X50 and is currently Lv1."
——
"I'm going to call it 'Paulie'."
Thirty minutes later, after Mason had collected the unicorn's blood and necessary materials and completed the skinning, outside the cave that was burning like a tomb, Selina held the hungry little unicorn in her arms as if she were a pet and spoke to the others.
"I'm a stallion!"
Mason whispered:
"And don't think I don't know what you're saying. It's so vulgar."
"We can go now, right?"
The kite flyer said somewhat uncomfortably:
"I always feel that something bad is going to happen. Maybe we should leave immediately."
"Look at you, you're such a coward! You should really reflect on why you've been in Gotham for so long and are only a third-tier villain..."
Zha Kang made a disdainful comment while holding a cigarette in his mouth.
He activated the teleportation rune he left behind and sent himself to the top of the hill to move around. However, as soon as he was teleported over, he saw a pair of gray-white snake eyes the size of an adult looking down at him.
The cigarette from the corner of the dark wizard's mouth fell silently.
He stared blankly at the huge creature in front of him that raised its head and began to brew dragon breath. A second later, a shrill cry sounded on the dim hillside:
"Shit! Dragon!"
