Chapter 15 The Fractured Horn
Looking at the colorful blur inside the cage, Mo Ling also marveled at the magic of the Abyss.
But he always felt that something was off.
“Its horn is missing,” Li Luo reminded.
Mo Ling suddenly realized. This obedient Dream Kirin did not have the lone horn described in the records, and the blurry colors almost made Mo Ling miss it.
When he noticed this, he instantly thought of something.
The black horn outside!
Although one was pure black and the other was colorful, both shared a common characteristic.
That strange, glitch-like color.
Li Luo must have noticed this as well.
Mo Ling leaned in front of the Dream Kirin and made a comparison.
The length of the thin black horn did match up with this Dream Kirin.
If this was indeed the Dream Kirin’s horn, why did it run into reality?
Mo Ling was puzzled.
At this moment, he suddenly remembered Li Luo mentioning the red rope worm.
So he directed his vision inside the Dream Kirin’s body.
Still an endless array of colors.
The Dream Kirin appeared to be a creature formed by a pool of paint, with no flesh, nor any of the normal tissues that a living being should have.
The pickled cabbage he ate entered the Dream Kirin’s mouth and transformed into colorful light, merging into the Dream Kirin’s body.
Soon, amidst the surging rainbow, Mo Ling found the abrupt red rope.
A gigantic red rope worm, hiding inside the Dream Kirin’s body.
It was continuously devouring the Dream Kirin, causing the entire worm to emit light.
This massive red rope worm perfectly matched the description of the red rope worm mother in the records, much larger than the male worm.
The target that the group of Concussion Beasts were looking for was this Dream Kirin!
Mo Ling quickly informed Li Luo of his discovery through the electronic screen.
This also confirmed Li Luo’s thoughts.
A group of male worms in reality were looking for a female worm surviving inside the dream world!
But they could never find it.
Mo Ling fell into contemplation once again.
Why didn’t this Dream Kirin’s horn heal?
He suddenly thought of the true nature of the worm.
All evolution is to make the two meet.
The healing ability of the previous creatures evolved to allow the infected creatures to find their targets smoothly.
And the broken horn created an opportunity for the two to meet.
The horn created a bridge between the dream world and reality, two worlds that could never meet.
Therefore, the red rope worm did not consider this a hindrance, which prevented the Dream Kirin from evolving the healing abilities.
This was the rule of the red rope worm.
Although the group of Concussion Beasts outside currently did not have the ability to enter the dream world.
But maybe, one day, they would evolve the ability to enter the dream world.
Then they would be able to find this Dream Kirin.
And at that time, the worms and Concussion Beasts that completed the mission would disappear, and there would never be any more disturbances by the Concussion Beasts.
Was this the only method?
Going around in circles, Mo Ling returned to the initial futile therapy.
After some contemplation, he still felt that the key lay in the black horn that entered reality.
But first, he must confirm 100% that the black horn was indeed related to the Dream Kirin in front of him.
Mo Ling picked up the electronic screen and asked Li Luo, “Do you have a weapon?”
Li Luo was surprised for a moment but quickly took out a handle.
With a turn of both hands, the handle extended into an extremely sharp spike, which she handed directly to Mo Ling, showing great trust in him.
In Li Luo’s astonished gaze, Mo Ling raised the spike in his hand and stabbed the Dream Kirin.
Rainbow-colored blood gushed out from the wound where the Dream Kirin was stabbed.
After the paint-like blood splattered on the ground, it gradually lost its color and turned pure black.
Exactly the same color as the black horn in reality.
Once it turned pure black, it quickly dissipated into the air.
The change in blood made Mo Ling even more convinced of his conjecture.
After being attacked, the Dream Kirin continued to wildly rampage in the cage, unable to escape.
Mo Ling continued his assault, poking many holes in the Dream Kirin’s body.
Soon, the red rope worm began to show its effect.
The wounds on the Dream Kirin’s body kept healing.
Mo Ling’s attacks directly triggered the Dream Kirin to evolve its healing ability.
Phew~
After doing all this, Mo Ling breathed a sigh of relief.
This was a very risky move because he did not know what other methods the Dream Kirin might have.
After all, research on this type of creature was still very scarce.
After the Dream Kirin evolved its healing ability, a short horn suddenly sprouted from its head and continued to grow.
With the healing effect, its originally broken horn quickly healed.
Effective!
Mo Ling looked at Li Luo again and returned the spike to her.
“Change to a knife, the sharpest one.”
At Li Luo’s words, Mo Ling found a knife.
Taking the knife, Mo Ling cut off the Dream Kirin’s horn.
The Dream Kirin fell to the ground in pain, struggling incessantly, which made even Mo Ling feel pained.
Picking up the horn from the ground, Mo Ling watched as it continuously darkened, eventually becoming exactly the same as the black horn in reality.
Then the black horn disappeared into thin air.
Seeing Li Luo’s puzzled expression, Mo Ling explained on the electronic screen, “When a body part separates from the Dream Kirin, it will run into reality.”
This was originally just Mo Ling’s speculation, as he found an explanation that best fit reality.
But previous experiments confirmed this point.
“If we can’t send the Concussion Beasts into the dream world, then we’ll send the Dream Kirin into reality,” Mo Ling continued.
He had already figured out the next step.
“What we need to do now is to remove all parts of the Dream Kirin’s body from it.”
That is, to instantly kill all parts of the Dream Kirin’s body!
Mo Ling informed Li Luo of his plan.
Li Luo was first surprised but then fell into contemplation.
After a moment of thought, she asked, “Do we need a nuclear bomb?”
Mo Ling was so scared that he quickly waved his hands, as he had already thought of what to do.
Asking the girl to wait for a moment, Mo Ling walked to the balcony and found a small bug in a flowerpot, initiating a transfer.
Afterwards, he entered the cabbage-filled space and found the already dead bug on the ground.
This was the method that Mo Ling came up with to instantly kill the Dream Kirin.
He planned to directly send the Dream Kirin into the cabbage space, killing it instantly.
Prior to this, Mo Ling was not clear on the principle of sending creatures into extinction.
The first possibility was that the creatures entering the cube would be annihilated, which meant that the Dream Kirin entering the cabbage space could still survive.
If this was the case, Mo Ling originally planned to send the Dream Kirin out and throw it into various extreme environments.
However, this could also lead to continuous evolution of the Dream Kirin.
But for now, it didn’t seem necessary.
This was the second possibility, where any creature that underwent his transfer would directly perish.
