Start With Contracting Sprites

Chapter 265: Sky Lake (Fourth Update)

On the way back, Su Hao was dealing with the curiosity of the seniors.

He was also observing the horns on Dumb Unicorn’s head.

“Probably… dragon horns?”

At this point, the Dumb Unicorn was still in the evolved form of the “Water Unicorn Beast”. The “bloodline concentration” in its data column had already increased greatly.

It caused a slight change in its form.

“Well, thanks to the power of the Pure Pool and the hard work put in by the Dumb Unicorn, the breakthrough went very smoothly…”

Before the Dumb Unicorn entered the pool, he was actually 99% confident.

After coming out of the Pure Pool, he could immediately arrange its evolution.

This was because regardless of whether the Pure Pool had any effect on the purified bloodline, it couldn’t run away from breaking through to the extraordinary level. And as long as it broke through, under the stimulation, the difference in the concentration level of the bloodline could also be filled up.

“But the Pure Pool can purify the bloodline, so before the Dumb Unicorn broke through, the concentration of the Water Qilin bloodline was already greater than 30%, and after its breakthrough, it reached 39.6%! It’s much higher than the evolution conditions!”

The excess wasn’t wasted. The higher its foundation, the higher its bloodline concentration would naturally be after evolution. The benefits obtained during the evolution ritual would also correspondingly increase.

“The materials needed for its evolution have been prepared, and I’ve also chosen the location. Next, it’s time for its evolution.”

…

Whale Island’s school team rested for another two days in the League Village.

Two days later, a private plane stopped at a parking apron in the campus and picked up Heavenly King Bu, Mentor Ma, Senior Wang Qi, and the others.

Su Hao didn’t leave with them. He rode the Dumb Unicorn towards a city hundreds of kilometers away from Dragon City.

There was a New World Entrance there, opposite it was a special area. It was the evolution venue specially selected for the Dumb Unicorn.

It was more suitable than evolving in Whale Island University!

Whoosh ~

Wind whistled past the protective shield. It was his first time riding a Dumb Unicorn for such a long distance, so he was more cautious.

He turned on the cell phone’s navigation and ran along the national road. Well, he ran in mid-air above the national road to ensure that he wouldn’t make too much of a mistake and wouldn’t end up in a certain deep forest even if he took the wrong path.

He was also particular with the flying height, setting it around dozens to hundreds of meters in the air.

At this height, he could clearly see the road below. After hiding within a layer of misty fog, he concealed his figure so as not to attract the attention of cars and pedestrians on the road.

— He would feel guilty if other people were distracted after seeing a flying horse and ended up in a car accident.

“At the moment, there are no guidelines regarding sprite flight in Dragon Nation and the entire Union. I don’t know when it will be released.”

Times were improving. Now, there were also many sprites which could fly, fly fast, and have strong endurance.

After the upgrade of the Dumb Unicorn ride, the duration of the journey had gotten much faster. The mountains below rose and fell, retreating quickly from his vision.

After riding it for…more than two hours and having Dumb Unicorn lower its altitude, he finally saw a high-speed toll station with the words “Welcome Home” written on it.

The Dumb Unicorn flew past the toll station and headed straight for a certain place on the east side of Xiang’an City.

…

“We’re here.”

Above the entrance palace hung a line of large words: “White Cloud City Welcomes You”. Su Hao took a few glances and walked forward.

Behind him, his three sprites, Dazed Crow, Big Fat Bear, and Dumb Unicorn, followed him out of the exit.

Butterfly was already lying on top of his head.

The Bright Night Spirit was too weak so it was temporarily useless and had returned with the school team. Su Hao had already set up a large amount of “summer homework” for it. After he was done with this trip, he would go back and check on it.

“Let’s go.”

He climbed onto the Dumb Unicorn, patted the Big Fat Bear which was looking around, and grabbed it. Together, they walked out of the palace and arrived at another grand building only a few hundred meters away from the entrance — the Explorer Building.

Explorers was the name given by the Union to classify Sprite Trainers who explored and developed the New World.

In the past, most of the missions he saw on the Union’s intranet were taken in the “Exploration Hall”. If Sprite Trainers encountered anything that they needed help or consultation on, their first choice would be to go to the “Exploration Hall”.

In the hall.

There were figures in twos and threes, mostly elite-level Sprite Trainers who formed teams.

There was no such tense atmosphere unlike in the warzone. The Sprite Trainers came from White Cloud City, Green Blue Town, and other places and their words were all about exploration, treasures, gains, and so on.

“Did you hear? Red Lotus Corporation is hiring again. They said they discovered a large-scale spiritual jade mine.”

“It’s said that pseudo monarch rank sprites always appear in the Eastern Chaotic Stone Forest. It’s best not to go there.”

“There’s an examination station in the north that hasn’t sent back any information for a month. The hall has already issued a mission. Do you want to take it?”

Su Hao listened to their conversations and found it quite refreshing.

He never had the experience of “forming a team” or “going into a dungeon”. He didn’t have it in the past, and probably not in the future either.

“After all, I’m already a master-level Sprite Trainer. My sprites had formed their own battle team, and I can’t go back anymore. I need to team up with others to fight monsters.”

He came to a window and knocked. “Hello, I want to buy a map of White Cloud City.”

A slightly chubby face appeared behind the window. It was an ordinary person who worked in White Cloud City. She looked at Su Hao and said, “Our maps here are categorized into D, C, B, and A levels. The range and details are all different. B and A-level maps can only be purchased with corresponding authorization. Do you want to…”

“Just give me the most expensive one.”

“Sir, that requires level 7 authorization… Ah!”

Su Hao took out his card and swiped it. Then, he took the map from the dumbstruck staff member, waved his sleeves and left.

He found a private room in a cafe and sat down. Then, he spread out the map.

The geographical environment, danger level, powerful sprites, and other information appeared in his eyes.

There were many maps that were drawn by master-level and Heavenly King-level Sprite Trainers, inside.

The further away from the city, the less recorded information there was.

However, there were also special areas that were specially explored so they were more detailed.

He wanted to go to one of those places.

Sky Lake!

Su Hao’s gaze landed on the vast lake in the north.

“The lake water in the Sky Lake is very special. If its nature isn’t bad, it will be very helpful for Dumb Unicorn’s ritual.”

“There’s just one problem. The Sky Lake… is too far away!”

The distance from White Cloud City to Sky Lake was at least 1,000 kilometers!

Even in Dragon Nation, it would take several hours to turn on the navigation system and ride the Dumb Unicorn for a long distance, let alone in the New World.

“With my current strength, it shouldn’t be too dangerous, but… I might get lost!”

After all, he never had any experience traveling far in the New World before.

He was a little unconfident.

He thought for a long while and started to operate the Sprite Commandeering wristband again. “Why don’t I get a free ride and earn a little extra income?”

The crowd funder appeared again~!

Currently, I’m accepting ideas for Dumb Unicorn’s advanced evolution and battle methods, etc., they can be water-element, ice-element…
