Chapter 853: A Brawl (3)
Who would have thought that the legendary Rhinoceros Beast would appear within the forsaken Free Valley, in the treacherous Forest of Freedom?
Men from Yan Luo Dian had discovered this Rhinoceros Beast. They had put in much effort to secretly follow it for three months before they had found an opportunity. They had spread a colorless and tasteless poison on the field where the Rhinoceros Beast fed regularly. After they poisoned the Rhinoceros Beast, they had attacked it.
Although the Rhinoceros Beast looked like an ordinary horse, it’s battling abilities were no less than any ferocious beast. Even though it had been poisoned, it still fought the men from Yan Luo Dian for six days before they finally defeated it after having poisoned and besieged it.
To this end, the men from Yan Luo Dian had also paid a tragic price. Dozens of their seventy over men had died, and those who were fortunate enough to survive were mostly badly injured. At this inopportune moment, they had met the men from Zhai Xing Lou, who had just entered the forest.
Only forty over men from Zhai Xing Lou had made this trip. Even so, there were only sixty over injured men from Yan Luo Dian and they found it extremely difficult to resist the attack.
Just as the two sides had reached a stalemate, Ji Fengyan’s eyes were drawn to the dying Rhinoceros Beast. A single glance caused Ji Fengyan to freeze.
The Rhinoceros Beast…
Was the so-called unicorn from her past life in her former world!
Ji Fengyan did not know the rumors regarding the Rhinoceros Beast in this world. But she knew that in her past life, her Master had mentioned its spirituality, and that by nature, it was a very kind-hearted animal.
It could be said that the unicorn was a gift from heaven. It represented everything good about the world and was an emblem of light and kindness.
Even demons and fiends, no matter how vicious, would never harm a unicorn.
This was the first time Ji Fengyan had seen the Rhinoceros Beast. She was not sure that this animal was the same as the unicorn.
But…
What shocked Ji Fengyan even more was that the feeble Rhinoceros Beast seemed to sense something. Its ice-blue eyes suddenly looked towards the tree branch where Ji Fengyan was hidden.
In that moment, Ji Fengyan’s eyes met its eyes that were so pure, they made her feel ashamed.
Not a trace of impurity, not a trace of resentment. Even though the men of Yan Luo Dian and Zhai Xing Lou were fighting and killing each other over it, this pure- and kind-hearted animal did not show a trace of resentment. It only lay there peacefully but in agony, as if quietly waiting for death.
For no reason, the trace of sorrow stunned Ji Fengyan in the Rhinoceros Beast’s eyes.
A fantastic idea suddenly sprang forth in her heart.
The sorrow in the Rhinoceros Beast’s eyes was not because it was about to lose its life, but because Zhai Xing Lou and Yan Luo Dian were fighting each other.
Was it really grieving over its enemies?
Ji Fengyan felt that she must have gone mad. Even the kindest creature in this world would not pity its murderers at the moment of its death.
Ji Fengyan had been prepared to hide and watch the show. But at that moment, for reasons she could not explain, she could not bear to see the Rhinoceros Beast die.
She could never forgive herself if she stood by and watched the bastards from Zhai Xing Lou and Yan Luo Dian kill such a pure and kind animal.
Ji Fengyan narrowed her eyes. Her glance passed over the two troops, which were focused on the battle. Then she took a deep breath and noiselessly climbed down the tree. Under the cover of darkness, she crept over to the Rhinoceros Beast.
