#681 - The desire of the unicorn herd

After a day, Jun Wuxie returned to the different dimension.

He went straight to the non-toxic area formed around that tree.

"Human youth, what exactly do you want to do? We will not agree to you, you don't need to waste your time!"

The Unicorn King looked at him very vigilantly, with a guarded and repulsive emotion.

"Unicorn King, you may be overthinking it. I just came in to see the scenery."

As Jun Wuxie spoke, he opened the Eternal Life Divine Palace, and abundant green grass flew out continuously, like a green river, instantly piling up into a mountain, the aura of green grass permeating the air.

Instantly, all the unicorns here widened their eyes, staring fixedly at the green grass all over the ground, their expressions instantly refreshed, revealing a strong desire, gulping and swallowing their saliva, trembling with excitement.

The Unicorn King's lips trembled, his eyes also filled with desire, as if a person about to starve to death had seen the most delicious delicacy in the world.

The other unicorns, saliva flowing from the corners of their mouths, forming silver threads, almost dripping to the ground.

At this moment, where was there any trace of nobility?

"Green grass, fertile green grass, King…"

The unicorns looked at the Unicorn King expectantly, their eyes filled with tears, saliva constantly flowing out.

They had been trapped here for generations, never having smelled such fragrance.

The grass here had been changed by the virus, the taste was extremely bad, and it had a strong stimulation to the internal organs, but they had to eat it in order to survive.

Now, suddenly seeing normal green grass, smelling its fragrant aura, it was like smelling the most fragrant delicacy in the world!

This was the food they truly needed, completely unpolluted food!

"Don't be tempted by his food, his purpose is to enslave us, all of you close your eyes, don't look; close your sense of smell, don't smell!"

The Unicorn King gave the order while swallowing his saliva.

But these unicorns simply couldn't resist such temptation.

Food is the foundation of living beings' survival, and the desire for food is an innate instinct of living beings.

Not to mention unicorns who have only been able to eat poisonous grass for generations!

They simply couldn't resist such temptation.

"King, I think this human youth isn't that bad, we really want to taste the flavor of pure green grass, look at our clansmen, we are living too hard…"

A unicorn leader said this, his choked voice filled with a sense of sorrow.

"No, we must never compromise for this little bit of green grass!"

The Unicorn King said angrily.

The other unicorns were silent, but their eyes were incomparably fiery, all staring at the green grass, the desire in their eyes exceeding Jun Wuxie's expectations, even more intense than he had imagined.

He sighed in his heart, feeling a little unbearable.

"This grass is for you, I will not make any demands of you, call your other clansmen to enjoy the deliciousness of the green grass."

Jun Wuxie said this.

"Really?"

The unicorns here all stared at him with disbelief, their eyes filled with anticipation and gratitude.

"Is this true?"

The Unicorn King was stunned, not expecting this human youth to say such a thing.

He knew that the human youth would never be so kind for no reason, deliberately sending them green grass.

But since he said he had no demands, then what if the clansmen enjoyed this green grass?

Anyway, it didn't require any payment.

"Alright, notify the clansmen to come and enjoy the green grass…"

The Unicorn King finally agreed, thinking of the hardships of generations, looking at the emaciated clansmen, he felt too uncomfortable in his heart.

The clansmen had never enjoyed unpolluted food, let them have their fill today.

Upon receiving the King's summons, countless unicorns converged towards here in a mighty manner.

The Beast King and the unicorns here first enjoyed a meal of green grass, chewing on the unpolluted food, the indescribably wonderful taste, making them burst into tears, every cell in their bodies excited.

"Too delicious, this is the deliciousness that we can only enjoy in our dreams…"

Many unicorns chewed and shed tears at the same time, after enjoying it, they followed the Unicorn King out of the pure area to maintain order.

The unicorns who came one after another in batches enjoyed the green grass delicacy.

Their expressions were very human-like, Jun Wuxie was very moved, never having seen such expressions.

All the unicorns cried, chewing the green grass with tears streaming down their faces, sincerely grateful to this human youth who brought them the supreme taste of the world.

Jun Wuxie said that there was a lot of such green grass outside, they couldn't finish eating it all, there were incredibly fertile grasslands, full of abundant green grass, fresh, delicious and crisp, and the air between heaven and earth was very clear, filled with the fragrance of vegetation.

The unicorns listened with fascination, their eyes full of infinite yearning, their gazes fiery, incomparably longing.

Jun Wuxie wanted to continue speaking, but was interrupted by the Unicorn King.

He smelled a dangerous signal, feeling the drastic change in the clansmen's state of mind.

Jun Wuxie naturally didn't say any more, he didn't stay here for too long, after distributing all the green grass for the unicorns to enjoy, he left.

The unicorns looked at his departing back in a daze, their eyes filled with undisguised desire.

They dispersed, walking on the grassland, looking at the poisoned vegetation on the ground, no longer having the desire to gnaw on it.

The green grass from the outside world was too delicious, completely incomparable to the poisonous grass here…

In just one day.

The unicorns infinitely longed for that human youth to appear again, bringing the green grass from the outside world, allowing them to enjoy that unparalleled delicacy again.

But that human youth did not appear.

While longing and anticipating in their hearts, they felt incomparably lost, suffering in waiting, feeling like years had passed.

Since they needed to consume energy to purify the virus at all times, they felt a strong sense of hunger the next day, and had to choose to continue gnawing on the poisonous grass here.

The taste of the poisonous grass permeated their mouths, making them very uncomfortable, compared to the outside world's green grass they had eaten yesterday, the taste was simply worlds apart, this feeling made them very painful, feeling that being trapped here was the greatest sorrow of the clan…

They spent three days in torment.

On the fourth day, that human youth finally appeared, appearing in their endless anticipation.

At this moment, throughout the different dimension, all the unicorns who saw Jun Wuxie excitedly leaped into the air with their front hooves, neighing like horses, tears of excitement rolling in their eyes, rumbling towards that non-toxic area, causing the entire earth to tremble.

"Human, don't try to tempt us with food!"

The Unicorn King saw through his thoughts, warning him like this.

"Don't worry, I will not make any demands of you, I know that your proud hearts will never submit. I truly sympathize with your plight, so I will send some food for you, not needing any reward from you. After all, harvesting this green grass is just a piece of cake for me, and doesn't require any effort."

Jun Wuxie stated this, the Unicorn King was dubious, but couldn't refuse this green grass.

Because too many unicorns were looking at him with that fiery gaze, it was a pleading gaze.

This time, Jun Wuxie didn't mention how good the outside world was.

He just took out all the prepared green grass for the unicorn herd to eat, once again seeing their tearful scene.

Afterwards, he left again.

The unicorns began several days of anticipation and waiting again.

Every unicorn looked in the direction Jun Wuxie came from, looking thousands of times every day.

They were even more resistant and disgusted with the poisonous grass here.

A small number of unicorns preferred to endure hunger, and no longer gnawed on the poisonous grass.

On the fourth day, Jun Wuxie arrived again.

Just like last time, he poured out the green grass for the unicorn herd to eat, without superfluous words, and then left.

After that, Jun Wuxie would come to deliver green grass once every three days, this continued for more than twenty days.

The unicorn herd had formed a serious dependence on the deliciousness of the outside world's green grass.

Now, almost no unicorns were gnawing on the poisonous grass anymore, they would rather endure hunger, and insist on waiting for Jun Wuxie to arrive.

In these twenty-odd days, although the unicorns could only have a full meal once every three days, because they were eating non-toxic green grass from the outside world, they had not thinned down, but had become stronger, their nutrition had been greatly improved, and they looked more heroic than before.

These past few days, they had been eagerly waiting, but had not waited for that human youth to appear.

Three days had already passed.

They thought they would enjoy the delicious green grass again, but that human youth did not arrive according to the usual interval.

The fourth day, the fifth day, the sixth day…

Time passed day by day.

Every day was extremely tormenting for the unicorn herd.

They had lost their spirit, not gnawing on the poisonous grass, all lying on the ground, looking expectantly into the distance.

That human youth always appeared from that direction.

But day after day, that human youth still did not come.

They felt deeply desperate, were they going to live those endlessly torturous days again in the future?

The taste of the poisonous grass was very bitter, and it contained viruses, eating it would cause unspeakable pain in the internal organs, and after eating it, they immediately had to consume the power of their bloodline to purify the virus, this was a painful process, repeating over and over again, constantly cycling.

…

Outside, Jun Wuxie and Ling Qingyu leisurely lay on the large blue stone by the blue lake, watching the clouds rise and fall in the sky.

The wound on Ling Qingyu's foot had also healed long ago.

These days, they had been studying that mysterious piece of green bronze together, with hundreds of tiny mysterious characters engraved on it.

The words were unreadable, but they were increasingly convinced of the extraordinary nature of the mysterious script, as if it were expounding some supreme truth, the words carrying the original true meaning of some great Dao.

It was a vague feeling that they wanted to grasp, but no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't.

He felt an extremely mysterious and vast energy within the fragment, but that energy was dormant and could not be activated and released.

He placed the green copper fragment inside his blessed land, and unexpectedly, the green copper fragment automatically flew into the Taiji Star Sea, settling above the Yang fish's eye.

The green copper fragment floated, and a large amount of chaotic essence gradually gathered around it.

As time passed, the chaotic essence around the green copper fragment gathered more and more, almost drawing all the chaotic essence from the entire golden Star Sea to its vicinity, forming a chaotic star ring with the green copper fragment as its core, constructing a strange and magnificent scene.

He vaguely felt a connection forming between himself and the mysterious green copper fragment, and he tried to release the dormant power within it, but he still failed.

"I feel that this thing is more mysterious than we imagined. If we can find other fragments in the future and piece them together into a complete artifact, perhaps we can find out its origins..."

Jun Wuxie said, as he pondered, he had to find some time to ask Ye Qingxue and Zhuque to see what kind of special characters were engraved on the green copper fragment.

"It's been ten days. When are you planning to enter the other dimension again?"

Ling Qingyu sat up, elegantly tossing her silky blue hair, then hugged her knees with her arms, tilting her head to look at him.

"It should be about time, calculating the time."

Jun Wuxie got up and patted his clothes.

"Do you really think this trick will make them lower their noble heads?"

Ling Qingyu still had some doubts about the effectiveness of this trick.

According to the records in the ancient books, unicorns are too stubborn and proud.

"If you lived in that kind of environment for generations, you wouldn't ask such a question. Not seeing hope is not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing is seeing hope in despair, but then watching that hope shatter before your eyes at the most anticipated moment."

Jun Wuxie was very confident. He had already prepared enough green grass, and it was time to go to the other dimension again.
