It struggled in fear, trying to escape from Lü Luo's grasp.
However, Lü Luo was too strong. Even a mutant of the same grade would not be able to fight against him.
Crack!
The leg of the Eighth Grade mutant was broken by Lü Luo, just like that.
The unicorn made a prompt decision. It abandoned its short limbs and escaped from Lu Luo's hands.
It glared at Lv Luo with a face full of hatred. Fresh blood flowed down from its short legs.
Even an Eighth Grade mutant would have to pay a huge price to recover from such an injury.
There was no way it wouldn't hate Lü Luo.
Roar!
It roared again, but it didn't realize that Lü Luo was already smiling.
The unicorn sensed that something was amiss. It looked at its wound and realized that some purple flames were gradually growing larger.
These flames were the ones that Lü Luo had left on its leg when he caught it.
It thought that its energy could easily extinguish these flames. It didn't expect these purple flames to be so strange.
Its energy couldn't suppress the flames at all. There was even a risk of it being devoured.
"You are dead today!"
Lü Luo's figure was like a ghost. When the unicorn was distracted and looking at its leg, he had already appeared beside it.
He was so fast that the injured unicorn couldn't react in time.
It wanted to escape in fear, but Lü Luo wouldn't give it another chance.
"Ash!"
Boom!
The power of the lava exploded in mid-air, like a huge volcanic eruption.
Even Zhang Zhe and the others could feel the energy vibrations from afar.
Some of them were shocked by the vibrations from the battle and the vibrations caused by the energy.
One of the team members looked at Zhang Zhe with uncertainty.
"Captain, do you think Lü Luo … can he catch or kill the unicorn?"
"How is that possible? The unicorn runs so fast. If it wants to run, no one can stop it."
"I see. Captain, you're right."
Although this team member said so, many people had the same question in their hearts. Was Lü Luo really unable to catch the unicorn?
Judging from the previous chase, Lü Luo's speed was enough to catch up to the unicorn.
The unicorn was difficult to deal with because it could teleport using the fog.
If Lü Luo could really force the Unicorn into a dangerous situation where it couldn't release enough pink mist, then Lü Luo would be able to force it into a dangerous situation.
Then perhaps Lü Luo really could …
"Forget it. We don't need to think about this at all. What we need to think about is how to explain to Her Highness the Empress when she comes."
Lü Luo ran away again. Although he said that he was helping them, at this time, he definitely had to explain to Wu Yi.
Otherwise, even if Wu Yi was willing to let them off, the Imperial Inspection Department might still pursue them.
That's right. Even if it was an emergency, there was still the possibility of being held accountable.
The Imperial Inspection Department was just that rigid. Or rather, the entire Empire was just that rigid.
"Captain … we won't say anything."
"Yes, captain. We also have a part to play in this matter."
The team members all expressed their opinions, but Zhang Zhe didn't care at all. Betrayal only needed a little bit of benefits.
Promises at this time were meaningless.
He had experienced many betrayals. Dangerous, terrifying, and heartless ones.
Betrayal had already made him numb, but he still wanted to protect the lives of these people.
Because this matter had nothing to do with them.
"Alright, don't think too much about it.
I will take care of this matter. Even if something happens, it has nothing to do with you guys. "
Zhang Zhe quietly looked at the direction where Lü Luo was fighting. If Lü Luo could kill the unicorn, then the credit he brought back could make up for the violation of the rules.
Not only would they not be punished, but they would also be rewarded.
After all, the Empire had been troubled by the unicorn problem for some time. They even had the idea of sending out a tier-8 expert.
If Lü Luo could kill the unicorn, then it would be a great achievement.
…
On the other side, the unicorn was struggling. It really wanted to put out the dark fire on its legs.
But no matter how it struggled, the dark fire was like a corpse. It couldn't get rid of it at all.
The unicorn continued to roar and scream, but the netherworld fire would not stop burning because of its roars.
The unicorn, which lacked mobility, no longer had the ability to fight against Lü Luo.
It wanted to use the pink mist to escape, but Lü Luo, who was already prepared, would not let it succeed.
There was no way that the same move would work on him repeatedly.
Poison Mist!
Explode!
When the pink mist appeared, Lü Luo immediately activated the Dust Demon state.
A large amount of poison mist was injected into the pink mist by the power of the Dust Demon, and then it instantly exploded.
A large amount of poison mist began to spread in the air. This poison mist completely suppressed the pink mist in front of them, and also destroyed the unicorn's teleportation plan.
"Today, you will die without a doubt!"
Lü Luo raised his sword and charged forward. The unicorn, which had nowhere to run, could only face him head-on.
The battle fell into a stalemate once again.
Puchi!
Blood splattered everywhere. Lü Luo's longsword finally cut off the unicorn's head.
The entire battle lasted for quite some time, but it wasn't particularly intense.
The unicorn's mobility was very strong, but its physical abilities were very weak.
The unicorn mostly dodged or dashed around Lü Luo's attacks. It didn't have the ability to fight Lü Luo head-on.
The fact that it could last for so long could only mean that its ability was very suitable for escaping.
"Isn't it good to be alive? I already let you go, but you still have to come here and provoke me."
Lü Luo felt that it was quite strange for this creature to be so vengeful.
Perhaps it was the pride of an Eighth Grade mutant. It hadn't seen Lin Huang's full power when he forced it back and chased it down yesterday.
That was why it wanted to use its mobility to harass Lin Huang.
However, the intelligence of a mutant was limited. It was too naive.
There were many kinds of restraints that humans had.
However, as long as humans didn't restrain themselves, they could kill such a mutant in a matter of minutes.
It was just like how humans could send an Eighth Grade expert to kill the unicorn in an instant. However, the price to pay was too high, so they didn't send anyone over.
In the unicorn's eyes, humans couldn't do anything to it.
However, was there really no way?
Of course not!
Standing in front of the unicorn's corpse, Lü Luo's tendrils started to wrap around it.
Finally, his tendrils stopped at the unicorn's horn.
"Lord's Pride, huh? It's a very obvious trait."
Lü Luo directly tore off the horn. Then, a large number of tendrils pierced into the unicorn's body.
He instantly started to absorb the energy.
The corpse of an Eighth Grade mutant could provide him with a large amount of energy.
He might not have many opportunities to absorb energy in the future development of the Empire, so he naturally needed to replenish some.
It would be great if he could stay in the wild longer.
Although Zhang Zhe and the others were monitoring him, as long as he had enough time, he would have a chance to obtain more energy.
… …
After absorbing the unicorn's corpse, Lü Luo returned to the camp empty-handed.
Although the unicorn's corpse was very valuable, Lü Luo didn't have any intention of bringing it back to exchange for merits.
First of all, he wasn't considered a soldier.
He couldn't even be considered a normal citizen of the Empire.
Him killing the unicorn might be a good thing in the eyes of some people, but in the eyes of others, it might be an uncontrollable threat.
Lü Luo knew Dancing Light's way of doing things, so he wouldn't bring the corpse back.
Seeing Lü Luo return, Zhang Zhe and the others let out a sigh of relief.
However, when they saw Lü Luo come back empty-handed, they were a little disappointed.
There was such a huge commotion just now. The battle between the two sides must have been very intense.
Could it be that they still couldn't kill the unicorn at that level?
Just as Zhang Zhe was pondering, Lü Luo saw two new guests.
One was Wu Yi. At this moment, she was dressed in a military uniform and looked much more high-spirited than before. She also had the demeanor of a superior.
The other was his previous long-term partner, the Empress who he had acknowledged, Wu Liji.
"Wu Liji?"
"Lü Luo!"
Seeing Lü Luo call her name, Wu Liji was a little moved.
During this period of house arrest, her mentality was a little unstable.
Seeing Lü Luo at this time, she was naturally especially excited.
She wanted to walk up and give Lü Luo a hug to ease her emotions, but she was afraid that Lü Luo would reject her, so she froze on the spot.
Lü Luo seemed to see Wu Liji's awkwardness and smiled casually.
"Why are you showing such an expression? There's no need to be so distant between us."
Lü Luo's words were undoubtedly a boost to Wu Liji's confidence.
It made her feel better.
She walked up to Lü Luo and gave Lü Luo a friendly hug.
"Long time no see. I missed you a little."
"Is that so?"
Lu Luo smiled and hugged Wu Liji as well. He did not have any feelings for her, he just thought of her as a friend.
As for whether Wu Liji thought so or not, it had nothing to do with him.
Wu Yi glanced at the two of them, gaining a deeper understanding of their relationship.
The two of them were indeed in a cooperative relationship and were also friends, but the leader should be Lü Luo.
So, Lü Luo was the main interest of both sides?
This was very different from what many people had guessed.
Especially Lü Luo's Circle Company, which produced a large number of Spirit Stones. If the main person was Lü Luo.
If that was the case, then his wealth must have accumulated to an astonishing level.
"Lü Luo, you really have a lot of things hidden!" Wu Yi suddenly said, interrupting the mutual appreciation between Lü Luo and Wu Liji.
"Oh, what do you mean?"
Lü Luo saw Wu Liji, and Wu Yi also went straight to the point. Both sides did not hide anything.
This kind of situation made his mood much better, so Wu Yi's words did not cause him any discomfort.
"If the cooperation between the two of you is a kind of reliance, then it should be Wu Liji relying on you, right?
Your Spirit Stone business has spread all over the country. The current Circle Company should have a lot of money, right?
Lü Luo, are you a hidden rich man? "
"Your Highness Wu Yi, right? You must be joking. Selling Spirit Stones really doesn't make money.
Our manpower, our transportation, and the various channels all require a large amount of funds.
This thing really doesn't make money, really. "
"Do you think I'm an idiot? I'm the Empress of the Empire, not a silly girl. "
"Of course I know you're not a silly girl, and I've never treated Your Highness as a silly girl.
After all, I recognize Your Highness' acting skills. I didn't realize it at the beginning. "
Hearing Lü Luo mention her acting skills, Wu Yi raised her head and did not continue speaking.
She did not deny it or admit it.
"Looks like you're not angry anymore. That's good. Let's talk about your request."
"Request? I'm an outsider. What kind of request can I have? It's nothing more than some fame and position. Am I right? "
Wu Yi's expression was a little unnatural. What Lü Luo said was what some of the Empire's ministers had said.
An outsider without a detailed background, what request could he have?
It was normal to use some false reputation to get rid of Lü Luo, then let him wander around the Empire's Imperial Capital and take back his forces.
But could Wu Yi really do this?
Of course not. If she wanted to do this, she wouldn't have needed to spend so much effort to get close to Lü Luo.
"Lü Luo, this kind of mocking conversation is meaningless. I came to see you with sincerity."
"Of course, I also know that this is meaningless. Me not watching you act is also a kind of sincerity, isn't it?"
"It looks like we can reach a consensus."
"Whether or not we can reach a consensus depends on the sincerity between us."
Lü Luo and Wu Yi were at loggerheads. The two did not back down too much in terms of words.
Because the general direction had not been decided, it would be unreasonable to back down at this time.
"Lü Luo, join my side. I'll give you the best support, resources, and position. I'll satisfy you.
As long as you're willing to help me, I'll take care of the upper echelons of the Empire's Inspection Department for you. "
"Very sincere words, but your identity and position make it difficult for me to trust you.
Twelfth Princess, you may have a certain amount of military power and a certain position, but your position is not enough to protect me.
You won't deny this, right? "
When Lü Luo said this, Wu Yi could only nod.
"I'll do my best to help you."
"That's meaningless. Now, I can tell you clearly that I need a higher level conversation.
Although your ability is very strong, it's not enough to restrain me. "
"Why? If you want to see a higher level, you'll lose your freedom. The upper echelons of the Empire will not compromise with you. "
Lü Luo pondered for a moment. Was he going to say that he had a Wisdom Machinery Heart and could create a Wisdom Machinery Crisis at this time?
That would be too foolish, and it would not achieve the deterrence he expected.
After some thought, Lü Luo finally nodded.
"What you said makes sense, but I still want to know why the big shots of the Empire wanted to see me, but now they're gone.
My matter … What's going on? "
This was a question that Lü Luo had never understood.
Wu Yi pondered for a while and finally decided to tell Lü Luo the root cause of this problem.
"The person who asked you to come over was my father, the new Emperor of the Empire, 571."
"571? Emperor … "
