Chapter 642: Armored Ice Qilin Horse (1/2)
I was momentarily stunned by her appearance and had forgotten about God’s Mercenaries. Luckily, Beiming Xue’s attacks managed to strike fear into their hearts causing them to stop in their tracks. Most of them recognized her and gasped in surprise.
”Fuck! It’s Beiming Xue! It’s the Dark Archer Beiming Xue! What… What is she doing here? Is she looking for Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand?”
”Yeah, it seems like it!”
”Rumor has it that members from the workshop that Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand and From Water created, live in the same house. Could it be true that Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand and Beiming Xue are in a secret relationship?”
”It must be true then!”
”A friend in my dormitory really likes Beiming Xue. He would be devastated if he knew about this…”
……
Beiming Xue grasped her Dragonbone Longbow in one hand and ran up to me. Grabbing my wrist, she said, ”Big bro, come down. Send this stupid elephant back to your mount space…’
”Why?” I asked in surprise.
Beiming Xue swiftly took out a pitch-black pet egg from her inventory and said, ”I knew you wouldn’t get a mount for yourself so I got you one instead! This mount was really expensive! I had to give a blackhearted merchant from Vanished God City a 3-star Outstanding Earth-grade shield and additional 100000 gold in exchange for this mount!”
”Oh? What kind of expensive mount is this?”
I took the Mount Pet Egg from her and opened its stats window. My jaw dropped and I was struck dumb by what I saw.

……
I continued to stare at the mount info with wide eyes in disbelief before turning my head to the side ever so slowly and stuttered, ”Beiming... This is an Earth Rank Boss Mount Pet Egg. How could this be exchanged for a single Earth-grade item? It would have fetched for millions on the market… How, how did you get your hands on this?”
I immediately glanced at Beiming Xue’s wrist and noticed that she was wearing Spirit-grade wristguards. She’d actually given up her own equipment in exchange for this rare mount!
”Beiming, you…” I was overwhelmed by her gift that I was lost for words.
Beiming Xue giggled gently. She lifted her head to look at me and said, ”Big bro, you’ve given me a lot of things. Can’t I do something for you in return? Besides, equipment can be easily replaced. But the same cannot be said for a mount. I outbid hundreds of thousands of players just for this Armored Ice Qilin Horse. I spent so much time and effort on this so you had better treasure my goodwill, alright…”
Moved by her words, I walked forward and drew her in a bear hug. I grinned and said, ”Mn, I understand. Don’t worry Beiming, I won’t let your sacrifice be for naught…”
”Quick! Let’s see you ride the mount!”
”Alright!”
The Broadback War Elephant looked at me with eyes full of sorrow, as if it had already known its fate. A single tear rolled down its cheek as it whimpered, ”Master, you’re so horrible…”
With a swhoosh sound, the Broadback War Elephant disappeared. I only had a single mount space so I had to sacrifice the Broadback War Elephant to make way for the Armored Ice Qilin Horse. Besides, the Broadback War Elephant moved way too slowly! It only gave me an additional 10% movement speed while the Armored Ice Qilin increased my speed by 150%!
Moreover, only players who were Level 150 could mount it. This meant that I was the only player in the entire China server to be able to use it! After establishing a blood contract with it, the pet egg started to crack and a black light ray flew straight into my mount space.
Similar to the Cyan Netherworld Sword, a dazzling magic circle appeared in front of me when I summoned the mount. A loud neigh reverberated through the forest instantly as the Armored Ice Qilin Horse was born!
At the appearance of the Armored Ice Qilin Horse, everyone stopped fighting. Even Cute Little Naughty and the players from God's Mercenaries in the distance were staring at it in amazement. After all, no one had ever seen such a beautiful mount before.
Its entire body was covered in pitch-black barding. Blade-like spikes protruded from parts of the metal armor and the tips of these spikes gleamed with a chilling light. The warhorse had a pair of crimson red eyes which held a fierce glint in them. It had a sharp, blade like horn extending from the armor that protected its head. Its crimson eyes coupled with the horn gave it a vicious and sinister look.
As it reared its head proudly in the air, the muscles of its strong and powerful body rippled underneath that metal armor. Its long tail was dark cyan and it resembled a long trail of icy flame when it swished through the air. Frost and snowflakes formed with every breath it took, making it look grand indeed! I had to admit that this Armored Ice Qilin Horse looked extremely cool and imposing!
Beiming Xue giggled gently as she coiled her hands around my arm and said, ”Do you like it big bro?”
I nodded my head quickly and laughed, ”Haha! I love it so much! I love you to death, Little Xue!”
”Mn, let’s get on!”
”Alright!”
Putting one foot on the saddle, I hoisted myself over the horse and mounted it. Instantly, energy surged through my entire body, filling me with power. My stats had increased tremendously thanks to the Armored Ice Qilin Horse.
