Easternmost part of the Ice Sea, Nightmare Plain.
A unicorn galloped quickly like a bolt of white lightning.
Unicorns were high-level magical beasts with powerful and mysterious powers. They had a strong body and speed like the wind. They also had lightning talent and blinding magic. They were one of the top land mounts.
The unicorn's horn was an extremely precious magical material. Unicorns usually lived in the Jadeite Forest and were protected by the elves. Poachers were severely punished by the elves, so ordinary people did not dare to go there.
Now that this unicorn had appeared outside the Jadeite Forest Sea, it naturally attracted the greedy eyes of mercenaries and hunters along the way. However, those who had such intentions were instantly annihilated without any suspense. The one who attacked was the mysterious knight riding on the unicorn's back.
When a famous hunter who had just reached the pseudo-Saint level was turned into ashes by this mysterious knight, no one dared to approach. Unicorns were good things, but they were not as valuable as one's own life.
This mysterious knight wore a cloak and a mask that covered his face. However, everyone knew that he was definitely an elf — a powerful elf with Saint-level strength.
Only elves could ride unicorns and fit them so perfectly. They did not need any saddle or assistance.
Actually, these people guessed wrong. Even elves might not be able to ride this unicorn, because it was the most arrogant of all unicorns. Its name was Bai Feng. And the one riding on the unicorn was a human from the Realm of Devils.
After crossing the Ice Sea on the Devil's Snare Ship and arriving at the Nightmare Plain, there was only half a month left before the Star Tower opened. Even though it might delay this precious opportunity, Chen Rui did not hesitate to rush to the Nightmare Plain.
It was obviously not advisable to blindly carry out a carpet search. Even if Bai Feng could smell Blanche's scent, the Nightmare Plain was too big. If he searched slowly, he might not be able to find her even after a year.
As he was thinking, Bai Feng suddenly slowed down and looked wary. He heard wolf howls coming from ahead.
Before Chen Rui came to the Plain of Nightmares, Michelle had given him a magic map that had been made by the elves. However, most of it was the Jadeite Forest, and only a small part of it was the Plain of Nightmares. The map was exquisitely made, and it could be said to be magnificent. It even had some information about the creatures.
According to the information, other than the Wolf Riders that were tamed by the Beastmen, the most common canine magical beast in the Plain of Nightmares was the Wind Wolf.
Wind Wolves were one of the predators in the Plain of Nightmares. They were extremely fast, and their individual strength was not particularly strong. However, what was terrifying about them was that they lived in packs. Not only did they come in large numbers, but they were also ferocious and skilled in teamwork. Even magical beasts that were even more ferocious than Wind Wolves would avoid them.
The howls of the wolves were mixed with cries of shock and cries for help. It seemed that the Wind Wolves had attacked a human caravan.
Although the Plain of Nightmares was extremely dangerous, the rich resources and rare materials in the wilderness still attracted many merchants. They signed agreements with the Orc tribes, using food and goods to exchange for corresponding resources. Apart from that, there were also many adventurers in the Plain of Nightmares. The death rate here was also much higher than that of the Island of Storms, which was uninhabited.
"White Wind! Let's go take a look! "Chen Rui patted the Unicorn and galloped forward.
The Plain of Nightmares was too unfamiliar to Chen Rui. An incomplete magic map was definitely not enough. Other than rescuing people, he should also be able to find a guide who was familiar with the wilderness.
At the foot of the hill, five carriages formed a circle. They seemed to be a small caravan. The coachman continuously calmed the frightened horses, while the guards and mercenaries formed a circle, fending off the hordes of Wind Wolves that were swarming in from all directions. There were many corpses on the ground, both Wind Wolves and humans.
These Wind Wolves were extremely fast, and they advanced and retreated in an orderly manner. They did not lose their teamwork due to the death of their companions, nor did they rush to feast on the corpses of their enemies. Instead, they were like well-trained hunters, continuously wearing down and disintegrating the enemies' battle power and fighting spirit.
Even though the mercenaries also had a certain degree of teamwork, there were too few of them. Be it in terms of overall teamwork or willpower, they were inferior to the Wind Wolves. The merchants and servants who were being protected in the middle were so scared that their legs turned to jelly. Many of them were already beginning to lose their willpower.
Suddenly, the neighing of a horse sounded. Following that, the attacks of the wolf pack quickly slowed down, but they still maintained their encirclement and pressure on the caravan. However, the attention of many of the Wind Wolves had already shifted to the figure on the hill.
"Look! What's that! "
"It's a Unicorn!"
"There's someone on the Unicorn!"
"It must be an elf!"
"Help!"
The pack of wolves slowly parted. A silver-haired, relatively small Wind Wolf walked out. It was the king of the entire pack of wolves. The Wolf King seemed to have sensed the power of the Unicorn on the hill. It was not just the Unicorn. The figure on the hill seemed to pose an even greater threat.
The Wolf King was rather intelligent. It did not lead the pack to attack. Instead, it bared its sharp fangs and let out a low growl at the figure, as if to demonstrate its power and warn the wolf. The eyes of the cloaked figure on the Unicorn shone with a strange light as he glanced at the Wolf King.
Even though this gaze was very far away, it was like an arrow that shot into the Wolf King's mind. The power of the Evil Eye quickly spread through the depths of the Wolf King's soul. The Wolf King's fierce gaze met the figure's, and its body immediately trembled. It struggled to let out a low howl, and the pack of wolves quickly began to retreat. In the blink of an eye, they had already disappeared from sight.
Seeing the retreating pack of wolves, the members of the caravan were all stunned. If not for the corpses on the ground, they would have thought that the bloody battle had been an illusion.
This masked "elf" had not even moved a finger, yet he had managed to make such a terrifying pack of Wind Wolves retreat?
That's right, he seemed to have glanced at the Wolf King. Just a glance, and …
While they were still in shock, the Unicorn had already arrived in front of the caravan. Everyone revealed expressions of respect, bowing respectfully. No matter what race they were from, they could only look up to such an expert, not to mention that their lives had been saved by the other party.
From another perspective, the other party could easily save their lives, and could also easily take away their lives.
The leader of the caravan was a tall and thin middle-aged man. He was experienced and knowledgeable, and he spoke in broken Elvish, "Honorable Elf Master, thank you very much …"
Before the "plastic Mandarin" could finish, the other party's voice rang out. It was in the purest common language.
"I want to find the whereabouts of a person in the Plain of Nightmares. What can I do?"
Soon, the caravan cleaned up the corpses and continued on their way. However, there was an additional Unicorn and a mysterious "elf" with a mask in their group.
As the leader of the caravan, the tall and thin Corazon, answered, "The fastest way to find someone in the Plain of Nightmares is to find the Orcs first."
This method was approved by Chen Rui. Using the power of the native Orcs to find Blanche was much more reliable than trying his luck on the plains.
Along the way, Chen Rui asked Corazon many questions related to the Plain of Nightmares. Corazon felt that this "Elf Master" did not seem to have the arrogance of the ordinary elves. He secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and as he grew bolder, he started to talk more.
The orcs in the Plain of Nightmare were not the loving creatures like the tiger-girl, cat-eared girl, and fox girl in the YY novels that Chen Rui had read. Most of them were big and burly men, and some of them had mutated bloodlines. They could transform completely or partially into a beast and exert powerful combat power.
Generally speaking, the Orcs were still very similar to humans. Ordinary Orcs were tall and muscular, with broad foreheads and protruding jaws. Their teeth were exposed, and their skin was rough and dark. Strength was the specialty of the Orcs, which gave them strong offensive and defensive abilities in close combat, but their magic resistance was relatively low. Most of the Orcs were not good at thinking. In many cases, they would act first before thinking, so they were generally aggressive.
Orcs generally did not have talent in magic, but there were a few wizards in the tribe. These unusually calm, mutated wizards could launch all kinds of strange attacks with the power of "Howl" or "Totem".
Wizards had a very special position in the Orc tribe. They were equivalent to the brain of the human body. It was said that although the Orc tribes, big and small, fought separately, they all followed the orders of a great wizard.
The destination of the caravan was the Strong Mammoth Tribe, one of the medium-sized forces in the Plain of Nightmares. Since there was a strong person like Chen Rui with them, Corazon ordered them to advance at full speed. Perhaps it was because of the extreme misfortune that came with it, they did not encounter any danger along the way. Two days later, the caravan arrived at the Strong Mammoth Tribe.
A group of Orc Warriors saw the caravan and immediately rushed up to them, yelling. Apart from the squad leader, who was a high-rank demon, the rest of the Orcs were basically middle-rank demons. They wore rough leather armor and held heavy blunt weapons in their hands.
Corazon stepped forward and greeted the Orcs. He skillfully stuffed a few things to the squad leader and took out some food to distribute to the rest of the Orc Warriors. The Orcs looked very satisfied and led the caravan to the camp.
This camp was actually a camp. There were all kinds of tents in it. Seeing the caravan enter the camp, many Orcs showed joy and surrounded them. They seemed like they were going to rob them, but they were chased away by the team of warriors.
Chen Rui kind of understood Corazon's intention of bribing the squad leader. Even so, some things were still taken away. From Corazon's appearance, it seemed to be a common sight. With the shrewdness of the merchants, the things that were taken away should be low-value items that were prepared outside the carriage.
Bai Feng was very eye-catching here, attracting the attention of many orcs. Some even wanted to get close. The unicorn snorted in dissatisfaction, releasing the Great Demon King-level aura from its body, scaring those orcs to the point of pissing their pants. The orcs in the distance who didn't know what was going on laughed when they saw this scene.
The carriage stopped in the open space of the camp. Chen Rui comforted Bai Feng and followed Corazon and the Orc squad leader to the largest tent.
The orc warriors in this area of the tent were much stronger than the ones in front. The guards were also more regular; they weren't in a state of disunity. In the big tent, Chen Rui met Hank, the leader of the Mighty Mammoth Tribe.
Hank's figure was stronger than the average Orc. He was sitting on an animal skin chair. Beside him were some Orc women with bare breasts. The Orc women's style was very bold, but unfortunately, their strong figure and relatively strange facial features did not conform to human aesthetics.
