The Medallion novel Chapter 252

In this manner, for half a day, Rocky kept running non-stop, and following up with the Rainbow Glow Unicorn. Now, they had entered an area that was not only beyond the northeast military camp's jurisdiction but also had no state jurisdiction. Therefore, such a zone was full of dangers, since troops, spirit manipulators, or mercenary armies from strange countries, could ambush them at any time.

Having run without taking breaks, Rocky was out of breath, but when he turned to the Rainbow Glow Unicorn, he realized that it seemed to have enjoyed the journey. Seeing how happy the Rainbow Glow Unicorn looked, Rocky wondered if it was taking him for a ride.

Shortly after that, it brought Rocky to the foot of a cliff. It was at least more than ten meters high, and dangerously steep. The Rainbow Glow Unicorn stopped, and hesitated in front of the cliff. Then, it turned to Rocky, and looked up at the cliff.

Rocky followed its gaze. Initially, he saw nothing, but rock and the sky above it. But when he looked carefully, Rocky spotted a cliff cave.

'I wonder if there is anything up there?' Rocky thought.

Then he remembered that the spirit beast was very fond of priceless treasures. Consequently, anything scarce and valuable would definitely attract it. So, Rocky surmised that the treasure trove that had attracted the Rainbow Glow Unicorn, was possibly up there. He continued to wonder why the Unicorn had guided him there. Probably because it could not climb up, and wanted Rocky's help.

"Do you want to exchange my magical saliva with the treasure up there?" Rocky immediately asked, on realizing, that was what the Rainbow Glow Unicorn wanted, and requested it to be patient. As the spiritual beast was brilliant and had a human-like temperament, Rocky was not surprised that it had thought of such a plan.

In response to Rocky's words, it neighed, and raised its head a few times, and it seemed that it concurred with his request to be patient.

"All right, if there is any treasure up there, I will give you one more drop of the magical saliva, besides the drop I am carrying now," Rocky said, generously. Now that Rocky had grasped that the Rainbow Glow Unicorn had a fixation on getting the magical saliva, Rocky planned to give it to the creature, in exchange for getting something in return, in the future. Therefore, he thought that if he could subdue the Rainbow Glow Unicorn, with Uriah and Rubygon's help, he would have three spirit-manipulated beasts in his control. It was every spirit manipulator's dream!

However, right now, it was a day dream, because he was aware that the Rainbow Glow Unicorn could not be subdued easily; for if it were, then, it would not have any value nor importance. Moreover, it was a rare spiritual beast.

When Rocky compared the merits of obtaining the priceless treasure, with subduing the Rainbow Glow Unicorn, he decided in favor of the latter. Nevertheless, he knew that it was a challenging job. The creature had shown up because he had smelled the magical saliva. Otherwise, it was next to impossible even to locate it. Rocky knew that he had to keep his aspirations under cover, because even the slightest hint of any threat, would make the beast take off and disappear.

Therefore, as Rocky and the Rainbow Glow Unicorn, each had plans for the other, they could strike a profitable bargain with each other. Rocky wanted to make the Rainbow Glow Unicorn drop its defense. That also could prove to be a useful tactic to subdue it. Moreover, the crave was a long way away!

After Rocky cast a glance at the Rainbow Glow Unicorn, he took out the Frozen Wind Dagger, and attempted to use it to climb up and fly high, until he finally reached the cave.
