A rare magical miracle in the world

Chapter 20: Chapter 17 Miracle Creature

"Let's eat something first,"

By now, it was late, and Bailuo could not possibly grope his way forward in the dark.

If it were only him, it might have been alright, but with Sherri added to the equation, given his current physical strength, he truly feared he wouldn't be able to hold up.

"Then rest for the night, and we'll continue our journey tomorrow,"

And so, Bailuo, following the hints given in the Black Leather Book, carried Sherri for another day.

"Brother Bailuo, what are you doing?"

Upon hearing the voice, Bailuo immediately raised his head and saw Jiera from the Lulin Family and Nors from the Baiying Family looking at him with extremely odd expressions.

"Boss, what's this? Let me, let me help you, I'll..."

Nors hurriedly tossed his long spear to Jiera, started to undo his coat to help Bailuo but was stopped by his shout.

"Don't help! No one help!"

"Just help me clear out the wild beasts around us, don't let them interfere with me,"

Bailuo had confidence that he could bring Sherri back, firstly because he believed in his own physical strength.

The second reason lay in the markers he had left behind.

Having not returned for several days, his uncle would definitely send people to search along the trail he had marked, and just as Bailuo expected, Nors and Jiera found him.

This also meant that Bailuo was completely safe.

With the two of them there, unless it was a Silver Mane-level monster, there was almost no chance anything could approach Bailuo.

"So, why carry a horse on your back?"

Jiera looked towards Nors in confusion, and the young man was just as puzzled: "I don't know either, but where did the boss get a horse from?"

Bailuo had suddenly left and returned carrying a white horse on his back.

This bizarre scene left them both utterly baffled.

Had they missed an episode, or an entire season?

Why did it feel like there was a missing link, a gap that couldn't be connected?

"Huff puff~ Huff puff~~"

Bailuo, gasping for breath, said, "All you need to know is that I am working hard for the future of our village."

Bailuo couldn't explain, was he supposed to say that Sherri was a miracle, and she was undertaking the task to awaken the Miracle Power?

To carry a horse and climb over 20 mountains.

It was utterly baffling!

Would a normal person do such a thing?

This was no longer a matter of winning the lottery; even if someone wanted to do it, they simply could not.

"This..."

"What should we do?"

Both of them now acknowledged Bailuo as their leader, having sworn loyalty, so naturally, they did not dare to question his decision.

"Jiera,"

Bailuo commanded, "You go up into the trees, stand at a high point, and shoot the prey from a distance."

"Nors," Bailuo continued, "Use the White Eagle to scout the surroundings and then go ahead to clear the way for me!"

"Yes!"

"At your command!"

Bailuo's calm orders provided them with a backbone.

Jiera excelled in long-range attacks, and within her clan, aside from her older martial sister and Bailuo, no one could match her.

Nors' strength was extraordinary as well; even if he ventured alone into the deep mountains, he could return safely.

With Bailuo's command, the three formed a team, which directly lowered the difficulty of the task in the Black Leather Book to ordinary level.

What Bailuo needed to do next was simply to carry Sherri back home.

Was that difficult?

Difficult!

But Bailuo could endure it!!

"Good girl, you really need to pull through for me."

Without the nuisance of wild beasts, Bailuo's return trip sped up significantly.

Nors sent the hawk back with a message of safety to the uncle and the clanspeople. Thus, after another two days, Bailuo finally brought Sherri back home.

"Haa~~ Huff~~~"

Bailuo slumped on the steps in front of the door, staring blankly at the floating clouds in the sky, physically and mentally exhausted.

But effort always yields rewards.

[???]

Contract: Bailuo Yatun

Level: Lower Tier

Category: Miracle Creature

Faction: Northbound Land

Ability: Unawakened

Method of Contract: Heal its injuries and personally carry it back home before the Miracle Power fades away

Method of Awakening: Unknown

[She has truly acknowledged her master. You have gained her, and she will only belong to you]

[But her power has not yet awakened, so for the next step, please take good care of her until the day her injuries have healed]

The text on the Black Leather Book had changed, and the countdown had disappeared.

This meant that another part of Sherri's task had been completed.

As Bailuo breathed a sigh of relief, it was also the first time he understood that obtaining some miracles was not an easy feat.

The Initial Sprout Holy Pouch, Bailuo felt no real sense of achievement in acquiring it.

But for Sherri, Bailuo spent five days and five nights, only to complete a part of the task; hence he truly anticipated the day he would reap the miracle, very much so.

'She has already acknowledged her master.'

'I have gained her, and she only belongs to me.'

'But her power has not yet awakened, so there is one final step, right?'

Bailuo could feel the connection he had with Sherri, and they had already completed the miracle's bond of ownership in the unknown.

However, Sherri's power had not been awakened.

If he did not know the method of awakening, even if Bailuo had gained Sherri, she could only remain an ordinary horse until death.

Only when the Miracle Power within Sherri awakened could she truly become a Miracle Creature.

'Wait until the injuries have healed...'

Bailuo understood that the last step of Sherri's task would need to wait until she was able to run freely to be triggered.

With that in mind, Bailuo was not in a hurry.

Sherri had already acknowledged her master, and aside from Bailuo, no one else could complete the last step.

"You rest well."

Bailuo let Sherri into the shed that his uncle had specially built.

Two days earlier, Bailuo had informed his uncle through the White Eagle to build a stable next to their home.

The People of Yatun worked energetically and finished the job in just one day.

"What would you like to eat, some small tomatoes and corn?"

Bailuo already knew Sherri's taste; she liked sour and sweet, so she especially favored tomatoes and corn.
