A rare magical miracle in the world

Chapter 24 - 19 Pegasus

Chapter 24: Chapter 19 Pegasus

Sherri's speed wasn't fast, but she ran steadily.

Because of her intelligence, Sherri knew how to maintain balance, making it more comfortable for the master on her back.

She galloped along the way, and even without control from Bailuo, Sherri was able to dash across the grasslands and race through the sea of flowers, startling countless butterflies, bees, and birds.

And so, they arrived at the eastern end, stopped by a river.

"It's the end of the line."

Bailuo looked at the river ahead, patted Sherri's neck, and smiled, "The water is not shallow, we can't cross it. If you're still not satisfied, why don't you run along the river?"

"Sigh!"

Bailuo could feel Sherri's displeasure.

It wasn't directed at him, but at the frustration of being blocked by the river, unable to continue carrying her master across the land.

[Her injury has healed, and she recognizes you as her master]

[All beings light a torch, and the torch illuminates all beings, and now, you will become the one to guide her]

[Once she understands her direction, she will take you forward, never to lose her way]

"......"

The words in the Black Leather Book changed once more.

It was a riddle.

But for many days, Bailuo had guessed and pondered more than once. By now, he was almost certain of what he should do.

"Sherri, I want to ask you a question."

Bailuo, "Do you know what's the fastest thing in this world?"

Sherri couldn't speak, and naturally, she couldn't answer Bailuo.

But she could understand and she could think.

What is the fastest thing?

Sherri's knowledge was limited; she thought it was the birds in the sky. Those eagles flew so fast, so fast she estimated she'd never catch up to them in her lifetime.

Bailuo didn't know how to inspire Sherri; he could only try, using the knowledge he had: "Sherri, look ahead, do you see it?"

"This river," Bailuo steered Sherri, their hooves hesitating, wandering left and right, "it blocks our way."

"But it's actually not that deep, it would be easy for you to cross if you wanted."

"However, crossing it wouldn't be of much use," Bailuo said indifferently, "because there's a dense forest on the other side of the river, where it's not suitable for running."

Sherri's intelligence was only that of an ordinary six or seven-year-old child; Bailuo couldn't discuss profound philosophies with her, he had to go from the simple to the complex, step by step.

"Past the forest, there are high mountains, and behind the mountains, there's the vast ocean."

"The ocean, you haven't seen the ocean, right? The ocean is really very dangerous."

Bailuo thought of the one and only time he traveled by sea in his past life, and the storm he experienced: "Storms, tsunamis, and sharks."

"Hiss?"

"Oh, I forgot, you don't know what sharks are. But you know wild boars, right? Hmm, something a bit more terrifying than that."

In Sherri's view, Tin-toothed Beasts were already an existence that could kill her in a second, and anything more terrifying than a Tin-toothed Boar...

Sherri: Danger!

"Do you understand what I am saying?"

Bailuo, like educating a child, spoke gently and persuasively, "If we can get across, then no matter how long it takes, reaching our destination is only a matter of time."

He stroked Sherri's neck, sighing, "But if we can't cross, unable to overcome the obstacles ahead, then even if we are very fast, we still won't get anywhere."

"So, if there is anything in this world that is faster than everything else."

Bailuo smiled like a father looking forward to his daughter's growth, "Then it must certainly be freedom!"

Go wherever you want to go.

If the river stops you, wade through it; if the forest blocks you, traverse it; if the mountain hinders you, climb over it.

To the places we can see.

To the places they can't even see.

"Hiss!!"

At this moment, Sherri seemed to understand something, a formless strength surged continuously within her.

Sherri didn't know what it was.

But it was so powerful, so powerful that Sherri felt a confidence she'd never had before.

"Sherri?"

Bailuo noticed Sherri's restlessness; he wasn't anxious, instead, he was expectant, "Do you want to give it a try? It's okay, you can do whatever you want now!"

Sherri wanted to move forward, but she feared getting her master wet.

Yet Bailuo said, "Don't worry about me!"

"Go where you want to go!"

Bailuo's voice was always gentle, but this time, he raised it loud.

He wanted to encourage Sherri, to encourage his child, to be brave and take big steps forward!

'Go!'

Because of Bailuo's voice, Sherri's eyes became more and more determined.

At this moment, it was as if an invisible force was converging inside Sherri, and Bailuo's voice precisely opened the gate, allowing it to be unleashed.

Clearly, there was a river ahead, and if Sherri were to cross it, she would end up soaking wet.

But Sherri felt that she could make it!

'I can do it!'

'A mere river cannot stop me!'

Confidence, a strong sense of confidence!

"Let's go!"

```

Bailuo's command was like the starting gun of a race, making Sherri forget everything and reflexively surge forward in a sprint!

"Snap!"

Sherri's hooves stepped out of the riverbed and directly onto the surface of the water.

However, an incredible scene unfolded.

Ripples spread across the water surface, radiating out in all directions from the point where Sherri's hoof made contact.

Then came the second and third hoof, and before long Sherri's entire body had crossed over, carrying Bailuo along and running on the water surface of the river that was at least two meters deep.

"We did it!"

Bailuo inwardly shouted, secretly declaring his attempt a success.

Bailuo immediately looked toward the Black Leather Book and, sure enough, discovered that the content on the second page had changed.

[Keep her running at full strength to awaken her power]

"Master! We're coming over!"

"Sherri?"

A girl's voice suddenly echoed in Bailuo's mind; it was youthful, sounding no more than seven or eight years old.

Bailuo didn't ponder it further, nor did he have time to communicate with Sherri.

What he needed to do now was follow the instructions in the Black Leather Book and fully awaken Sherri's power: "Don't stop! Speed up, Sherri!"

"Do you see the forest ahead? Recall the feeling of stepping on the water just now, and keep going!"

"Yes! Master!"

Sherri didn't know that she had established a special connection with Bailuo; all she wanted to do at this moment was carry Bailuo and joyfully sprint across the land.

"Trot, trot, trot..."

Sherri began to run along the water surface, picking up speed.

"So fast!"

This was not a speed Sherri should have, it was like a wild storm, and yet Bailuo didn't feel the slightest discomfort; on the contrary, he found it thrilling.

The forest grew closer, the trees towering over ten meters high, quickly becoming the second obstacle in Sherri's path.

'Get across, just like you did the water surface, leap over!'

With a fierce neigh from Sherri, the pure white steed took a powerful leap into the air.

Bailuo only felt the scenery around him blur as he soared into the sky.

Formless glimmers of light appeared beneath Sherri's hooves, as if an invisible track lifted her high, and stepping on non-existent stairs, she leaped again, crossing the forest in front of her and racing into the sky.

But it wasn't enough!

Still not enough!

Too slow!!!

Sherri was no longer satisfied with her speed; she wanted to go faster, she wanted to carry Bailuo and truly roam the boundless sky, bringing him infinite freedom.

"Neigh~~~~"

In the clear, resonant neighing, Sherri completely unleashed the power that had been restrained inside her.

A pair of pure white wings unfolded on either side of Sherri's body, the crystal-like feathers shimmering in the sunlight, like the most perfect work of art finally gracing the world's stage.

'Pegasus!'

Although Bailuo had his suspicions, seeing the information about Sherri fully revealed on the second page of the Black Leather Book, he was still immensely excited.

Unlike the Initial Sprout Holy Pouch, Sherri was obtained only after Bailuo went through great hardships.

Moreover, Sherri had sentience; she could communicate with Bailuo as a companion!

Becoming Bailuo's Miracle Creature, Sherri established a special communication channel with the Master of Miracles, allowing Bailuo to understand her words.

"Sherri, Sherri, can you hear me?"

"Is it, is it the master?"

Sherri was very surprised; she hadn't heard her master speak, but she 'heard' his voice.

"Feel yourself, you are not an ordinary horse; you are now a Miracle Creature, a Pegasus!"

Bailuo informed Sherri about the information on Pegasus, and as Sherri attentively felt it out, she immediately noticed the inseparable bond with Bailuo.

Miracle Creatures and the Master of Miracles are bound in life and death.

So long as the Master of Miracles lives, even if the Miracle Creature falls, it will not die but will resurrect by the master's side after a period of time.

This is similar to how Miracle Objects can't be lost; Miracle Creatures also can't be killed.

To truly exterminate a Miracle Creature, the only way is to kill its master.

Once the Master of Miracles perishes, the power of the Miracle Creature will dissipate rapidly, and their spirits, due to the departure of their master, will have no more will to live.

Miracle Creatures will accompany their master in burial, following them to the end.

They are born for one person, live for him, and with the fall of their king, become dust in history.
