Devil's Son-in-Law

Chapter 688: Unicorn

After several days of sailing, the Devil’s Snare Ship finally reached the north of the Jade Forest Sea on a sunny morning.

The Jade Forest Sea was the largest forest area in the human world, covering a considerable area which was actually only ? of the territory of the Blue Glory Empire. With the influence of the Blue Glory Empire and the strong power of the elf tribe itself, the Jade Forest Sea had become the only elf kingdom in the human world. Any human who dared to capture an elf here would be listed as the enemies of the Blue Glory Empire and the elf tribe as well as receiving the most severe sanction.

The Blue Glory Empire, known as the magic empire, was 1 of the 2 holy kingdoms. It had the most advanced magic civilization and magic power in humans. In addition to the support of the elf tribe, it had great power that was enough to deter the Dragon Bright Empire which was supported by the giant dragons.

There was a little red bird on Chen Rui’s shoulder. Except for the immature wings, the rest was all fluffy. It twittered and jumped on Chen Rui’s head from time to time.

The strength of the little phoenix after birth was the early stage of the Demon Emperor, but it seemed to have a similar ability like [Breath Holding]; it only showed the level of the Lesser Demon. No matter its appearance or strength, it looked like a cute pet bird now which did not match the ‘phoenix’ which was the legendary powerful demonic beast.

“Dad! dad!” After Chen Rui’s painstaking correction these days, the little phoenix finally changed the word ‘mommy’, but the little guy was very naughty. Except for bedtime, it basically never stopped making trouble. Chen Rui gave the little phoenix a name, Duoduo - Don’t mention that this guy was tasteless, he originally wanted to be lazy and just call it the ‘Little Red Bird’.

(A little black horse in a certain house neighed in grief and indignation…)

Duoduo jumped from Chen Rui’s shoulder to his head, pecked his hair, then jumped from his head to the other shoulder, “Daddy! I’m hungry, I want to play the slingshot game!”

The so-called slingshot game was to take a customized big slingshot and shoot the little phoenix as a bullet at the target - The target was the pig head carved from the fire crystal.

The little phoenix had just hatched and was not very good at flying; she mainly glided. This game was dubbed ‘Flight Bombing Practice” by the boring and unscrupulous adoptive father. What made people speechless was that Ms. Duoduo liked this game very much. It must be played once before the ‘meal’. Only after playing to the fullest would she hit the pig’s head crystal for a meal. So this game was also called the ‘Hungry Bird’.

Ms. Duoduo had a big appetite; she ate almost everything. Chen Rui had no awareness and experience of being a dad. Those baby foods with 3-nos were thrown into the mouths of the adopted daughter. In addition to the main food, the fire element crystal, there were complimentary foods like the aura fruits produced by the galaxy garden, cakes and desserts produced by the Chen Family and so on.

“Duoduo, be good. We’ll be docked soon, can we play again next time?”

“Daddy! Now! Now!”

Chen Rui knew that this little girl would play for at least a couple of hours. His eyes rolled, “Shall we play moving target bombing? It’s an A-degree of difficulty.”

“Yeah!”

The poor fire element crystal pig’s head was thrown upward by the unscrupulous adoptive father and flew toward the shore. The adopted daughter launched from the slingshot excitedly and pecked the pig’s head skillfully and accurately - The ship landed smoothly.

Chen Rui also went to a few ‘forest seas’ in the Demon Realm, but when he arrived at the Jade Forest Sea, he realized that the ones he went to were nothing more than creeks and rivers. This was the real sea, the sea of ??the forest.

There was lush greenery, and the leaves broke the warm sunlight into bars of light. The fresh breath of flowers and leaves filled the air, and the plants seemed to have spirituality. They seemed particularly vibrant. This was something that Chen Rui had never seen in those forests before.

Chen Rui did not relax his vigilance. The Jade Forest Sea was vast. In addition to the elf tribe, there were many races and creatures, and some were even very powerful and dangerous. Although he was just in the outer area now, he could not let down his guard.

The Jade Forest Sea had a special power which caused a lot of interference to items such as magic maps. Fortunately, Chen Rui had the skill of [Deep Analysis]. He walked and recorded carefully to avoid getting lost. He went step by step toward the depths of the forest.

The little phoenix didn’t jump around anymore, but she stood on Chen Rui’s shoulder and looked at everything in the forest curiously.

Chen Rui released some breath appropriately and scared off many uninvited guests who wanted to approach along the way. Nonetheless, the Jade Forest Sea was too vast. From entering the forest in the morning to the sun setting now, no trace of elf was found.

A small lake was faintly visible under the mountain in the distance which was like a mirror inlaid in the kingdom of the forest. Duoduo saw the small lake and pestered to go to drink water. Anyway, Chen Rui was walking aimlessly now, so he took the little phoenix and ran toward the small lake.

As Chen Rui approached the small lake, he stopped his footsteps abruptly because he saw that there was already a ‘guest’, who had arrived there first, drinking from the lake.

This was a white horse. Unlike ordinary horses, this horse had a silver horn on its head. With Chen Rui’s eyesight, he could vaguely see the spiral patterns on the horn.

Chen Rui was no longer a rookie who knew nothing; he immediately knew what this ‘horse’ was- A unicorn!

Unicorns were high level demonic beasts with strong mysterious powers. Their strong body and wind-like speed made them have the ability to surpass all ground mounts. Most unicorns were the masters of [Thunder] and could easily release [Thunder] to punish offenders. In addition to physical attacks, that sharp horn could release a light element of blindness magic like [Flash] which could make people fall into a blind state.

The unicorn was a kind of peace-loving creature with a gentle temperament, but it was not docile. It could even be considered stalwart. It was said that only the purest virgins could win their friendship. They liked to roam freely in the forest and the wild, but unicorns had a natural hatred for dark creatures and dark power. They were immune to general poison and curse. In many ancient records, they were often portrayed as the holy avatar.

The only horse-type demonic beasts that could rival the speed and power of unicorns was the Incubus Beast of the Demon Realm, and Chen Rui had 1.

The unicorn in front of him should not be very old. Its strength was around the Demon King level, but its condition did not look ideal. There were several bloodstains on its body which seemed to be severely injured.

According to the legend, the relationship between the unicorn and the elf is very close. This unicorn may be the key to finding the location of the elf. Chen Rui shifted his mind and was about to step forward to try to communicate with the unicorn, but Ms. Adopted Daughter had already rushed out - without a ‘slingshot’. This was exactly the result of an unscrupulous adoptive father’s ‘flying’ training. If it continued like this, perhaps it would not become a phoenix, but it would ‘evolve’ into a javelin bird or mudskipper. Thinking of this, Chen Rui couldn’t help but wipe the sweat from his forehead.

The heroic posture of Ms. Duoduo’s ejection was quite beautiful. It was indeed a professional-level action with a difficulty coefficient of A-level. Unfortunately, after the inertia of the ejection, the undeveloped little wings flapped and flew slanting and obliquely which was not up to the previous level, but she was finally close by the lake.

The appearance of the little phoenix made the unicorn not far away reveal a vigilant expression. Ms. Duoduo glanced at the big guy (relatively to her) contemptuously. She chirped twice in demonstration and started drinking the water.

The unicorn observed Duoduo for a while before it put down its guard, but its vigilance was still there. It had to take a look at the little phoenix after drinking a few sips of water.

“Daddy, Duoduo wants to eat fruit!”

The little phoenix turned her head and chirped twice. Chen Rui was hiding his breath to hide behind. He ignored the little phoenix as he was thinking about how to communicate with the unicorn in the most appropriate way to find the elf tribe. Ms. Duoduo chirped 2 more unrestrainedly. Seeing that daddy hadn’t reacted yet, she actually sat down on the ground with her fluffy belly upturned, and her 2 little wings kept beating. Chen Rui was stunned to see the posture of ‘I’ll kill myself if you don’t give it to me’: When did the little girl learn this trick? Does every baby self-learn this ‘talent’?

In desperation, the adoptive father had no choice but to throw an aura fruit. The little girl ejected again with a high difficulty movement, proudly grabbed the aura fruit with her small mouth, and pecked it underground.

As a result, Chen Rui’s trail was immediately exposed. The unicorn was shocked. Its mane was erected, and the horn on its head flashed and buzzed with electric sparks.

Chen Rui immediately expressed kindness from the [Analytical Eyes], but the unicorn seemed extremely hostile and did not accept the kind intent at all. Instead, it made a long neigh. A blue lightning flashed, enclosing Chen Rui.

This level of lightning naturally had no effect on Chen Rui. His figure flickered, instantly appearing beside the unicorn, with 1 hand on the unicorn’s back. The unicorn sensed that the hand seemed to have infinite power. Its whole body was actually unable to move. The horn on its forehead suddenly radiated a bright light, activating the [Blinding] talent.

Chen Rui sensed that this [Blinding] was much stronger than the [Flash] light element magic. Not only his eyes, but even his spirit power was also affected to a considerable extent. No doubt it was a very unique talent. However, for him with S++-level spirit power, at most he was flashed by the camera’s flash; he was unaffected.

The unicorn made a sad neigh when the last move was ineffective. Suddenly, it felt a burst of cool power coming from the opponent’s hand. This kind of power was full of vibrant power, making it feel cordial and comfortable. Not only that, the injuries on its body began to heal quickly.

Chen Rui lightly lifted his hand on the back of the unicorn. The unicorn stepped back and pulled away the distance, but it did not attack or escape.

The unicorn was a kind of demonic beast with a high degree of intelligence. It knew that this human had the strong power to easily subdue it, but he healed its wounds. The kindness just now shouldn’t be fake.

The little phoenix had jumped onto Chen Rui’s shoulders as she chirped angrily at the unicorn. The surrounding air began to become hot. The unicorn felt the danger and took a few steps back in surprise.

Chen Rui hurriedly appeased Ms. Adopted Daughter and took out 2 aura fruits to coax her. The unicorn looked at Duoduo pecking at the fruit that overflowed with pure natural power which was exactly what it needed to grow up. The power of this kind of fruit was many times stronger than those in the Jade Forest Sea.

The observant Chen Rui immediately threw 1 over. After careful testing, the unicorn finally began to eat the aura fruit. Chen Rui secretly rejoiced when he sensed that the hostility of the opponent was greatly reduced.

At this moment, Chen Rui suddenly turned around and caught an item that shot toward him - an arrow!
