Chapter 47: Killing the Magic Horn Rhinoceros

Before Lewis could finish his sentence, Yu Meng stormed out of the cave.

Lin Qi was afraid that she would get herself into trouble, so he quickly chased after her.

Although it was daytime now and there were no nocturnal demonic beasts, Yu Meng had not completely recovered after the battle just now.

“Hey, I said if you two are going to get yourselves killed, count me out!”

Lewis shouted from behind.

“These two! Do they have to go and get the five-star magic essence? Is it more important than their own lives?”

Although he was muttering, Lewis still chased after them.

Just in case Yu Meng succeeded and the two of them leave the mountain without him.

If that happens, he would not survive.

“Wait for me.” Lewis quickly caught up to the two of them.

As Yu Meng had not fully recovered, she did not walk far before she stopped. Lewis leaned on the tree next to him as he panted.

Lin Qi turned around and warned Lewis in a low voice, “Be quiet, there’s movement.”

Lewis stood straight and kept his ears peeled, his face full of confusion.

He turned his head several times but did not hear any movement.

“Listen to what? I don’t hear anything. I swear, the two of you…”

“Shut up!”

Yu Meng angrily yelled at Lewis, interrupting his words.

He was always a little afraid of Yu Meng, and now that she was in a rage, it was better not to provoke her so he obediently shut his mouth.

At that moment, the ground had already begun to shake, and tiny stones on the floor began to jump.

The three of them looked at each other.

Rumble…

A deafening sound came from the valley in front of them, getting closer and closer.

“It doesn’t seem to be caused by an ore giant. Let’s go and take a look.”

Lin Qi felt that the noise was more like the sound of multiple demonic beasts running.

In front of them was a small hill, and the three of them quickly crossed it.

They came to the edge of a valley at the bottom of the hill. The three of them were shocked by the scene in front of them.

A group of huge rhinoceroses was running wildly in the valley below.

Dust was flying behind the rhinoceroses.

The huge horns on the rhinoceroses’ heads were glittering and eye-catching.

However, they did not seem to be running normally.

They seemed to be running for their lives. Was there something chasing them from behind?

The front of the valley was impassable. There was only one exit behind them, and there was a dead-end in front of them.

Lin Qi decided to look around. He followed the edge of the valley, walking opposite the rhinoceroses, and sure enough, there was a group of people chasing after them.

Looking at their equipment, it seemed like the participants from Storm City and Exquisite City! They were the ones chasing after the giant rhinoceroses.

“These are all four-star devil beasts. Why would they want to attack them?” Lin Qi was puzzled.

A few other teams came one after another.

Other than Lin Qi’s team, almost everyone who participated in the trial had arrived.

“They’re magic horn rhinoceroses! Quick, let’s go down too.” Lewis recognized the demonic beasts below and was very excited. His eyes lit up and he ran down the valley.

Yu Meng saw Lin Qi’s puzzled face and guessed that Lin Qi might not understand the value of the demonic beasts below.

“Those are magic horn rhinoceroses, they are four-star devil beasts. The magic horn on their heads is used to make magic scrolls.

“It’s an excellent material.”

Yu Meng saw that a few magic horn rhinoceroses were taken down. She frowned and continued,

“The magic horn rhinoceros is a timid demonic beast. Unlike ordinary rhinoceroses, they aren’t aggressive. When they encounter danger, they only rely on defense, and then…

“They escape.

“They should be the easiest four-star devil beasts to kill.

“They usually live in groups. There are at least a hundred of them and at most a thousand of them. I wonder why there are only a dozen here?”

As Lin Qi listened to Yu Meng’s explanation, two more were taken down by the others.

At the end of the valley was a steep cliff, and both sides were rocky slopes.

When those rhinoceroses saw the cliff, they began to run up both sides.

The rocks kept rolling down, and there was no sturdy rock for them to step onto. The rhinoceroses could not get up the side of the valley, and they slipped one after another.

The participants took advantage of that and continued to stab the fallen rhinoceroses while ignoring their own injuries.

After searching for a while, Lewis still could not find a way down.

He turned to the two of them and said, “Stop chatting, let’s go down and snatch one!”

Lin Qi and Yu Meng did not move an inch. They looked at each other and realized that both of them could not bear to be involved in such a thing.

Lewis did not care about whether there was a way down or not. He sat on the edge and slid down. The gravel would only cut his clothes and would not actually hurt him.

‘Gold coins, gold coins, I’m coming!’

Lewis went down in a flash. The gravel behind him rolled down and dust billowed.

Lin Qi took out a Magic Sweet Potato and handed it to Yu Meng.

Yu Meng looked at Lin Qi coldly. After hesitating for a moment, she took the sweet potato and waved her magic staff一the two of them started to float.

They went down into the valley.

The three of them had not hidden their tracks so Chen Lin had noticed them.

“Hahaha, the cowards are coming down.”

“Work harder, we’re not leaving anything for them.”

The remaining two rhinoceroses tried their best to dodge everyone’s attacks, but they were already at the end of their rope.

Among the teams, the only one who ridiculed Lin Qi so brazenly was Chen Lin.

Chen Lin did not care about the injuries on his body. He only wanted to humiliate Lin Qi more by killing all the rhinoceroses so that there was none left for Lin Qi.

One by one, magic spells were thrown at the rhinoceroses as if they had nothing better to use their magic energy for.

Finally, they managed to defeat the last two magic horn rhinoceroses before the three of them arrived.

Chen Lin looked at Lin Qi with his head held high and smiled contemptuously.

“I’m sorry, there’s nothing left. You can take some from me if you have the guts. But there’s no way you do!

“Young Master Lin Qi, just go back to where you came from!

“Hahaha!”

That also caused the other people to laugh. The three of them were thought to be cowards.

Lin Qi was not in the mood to pay attention to Chen Lin and the other’s mockery. Instead, he could not bear to look at the rhinoceroses that were still panting on the ground.

He still felt a little upset.

Those magic horn rhinoceroses had their horns taken out alive. They could only wait for their deaths slowly.

“It’s all your fault. If we had come down earlier, we would have been able to take down at least one of them.

“That’s tens of thousands of gold coins we missed!”

Lewis looked at the magic horn rhinoceros that had its horn taken. That was worth so many gold coins.

“Young Master Lin, weren’t you so desperate for money before? Why aren’t you being proactive this time?” Lewis could not help but complain.

Lin Qi despised Lewis in his heart. He did not answer him. Lin Qi felt that talking to Lewis was a waste of breath.

At that moment, the others dug out the remaining magic horns.

They were still discussing how much they could sell them for and which Magic Association would buy them for high prices.

Some of them even wanted to use the magic horns to learn how to make magic scrolls.

No one looked at the magic horn rhinoceroses struggling to breathe.

Although Lin Qi was short on money, he did not want to harm those rhinoceroses.

Looking at the magic horn rhinoceroses that were still crying in pain, he could no longer bear it.

Lin Qi hardened his heart as he took out a longsword and stabbed the surviving rhinoceroses, killing them one by one.
