Chapter 409 - Out of Control

Chapter 409: Out of Control

There were very few spirit beasts like the unicorn in Heavenly Saints City. Even ordinary spirit beasts were rare. Therefore, when a unicorn pulling a carriage appeared, it attracted countless eyes. Once there was a crowd, the not-so-spacious streets became even more congested.
The driver kept waving his long whip. It was not used to drive the carriage but rather to hit the passersby.
Many people by the side of the road were struck by the whip and screamed in pain as they fell to the ground. They quickly dodged and did not dare to look anymore. However, even more people squeezed to the front just to take another look at the unicorn.
This street was not the main street of Heavenly Saints City but a relatively large alley. Those high-ranking officials’ carriages usually did not pass through here. It could be imagined that the carriage pulled by the unicorn would cause a huge traffic jam when it entered the alley. The small merchants and peddlers by the street had to quickly evacuate.
Such an alley was a place where fish and dragons mixed together. Most of the people living here were low-level commoners who had never seen the world. Now that there was something extraordinary, even if they got whipped, they couldn’t resist the temptation.!!
Xue Fanxin was also in the crowd. Like the others, she was quite interested in the unicorn. She stopped and watched the commotion. She did not think much of it, but when she saw the carriage driver casually brandish his whip, she got displeased. But she did not intend to meddle in other people’s business. After all, no one had died. If she appeared, she might cause trouble again.
But things were not as she had imagined.
For some reason, when the unicorn passed by Little Lei, it suddenly screamed in panic like it had gone crazy. It even tried to shake off the carriage it was pulling, causing a huge tremor.
Someone in the crowd shouted in panic, “That unicorn has lost control! Everyone, run!”
The people on both sides freaked out and fled in all directions. The scene became even more chaotic. It was completely out of control. There was even a stampede. Many people were trampled until they could not even get up.
The coachman pulled the unicorn with all his might and tried to regain control of it, but the effort was futile. The unicorn struggled with all its might. After shaking off the coachman, it broke free and left the carriage behind. As it ran, it even injured quite a few innocent people.
“Come back, come back quickly.” The coachman was burning with anxiety. He wanted to chase after it, but he could not. In a moment of desperation, he took out his anger on the spectators and kicked a person beside him. “It’s all your fault. I told you to move aside, but you didn’t. Now, you’ve frightened my unicorn away. You’ll suffer later.
“A bunch of ants and lowly commoners. If anything happens to the unicorn, all of you will die with it.”
The coachman felt that kicking someone was not enough. He picked up the whip and continued venting. Anyone beside him was whipped ruthlessly, their skin and flesh splitting open, but the guy did not stop. Even more detestable was that if anyone dared to escape or dodge, he would use the whip to pull them back.
Those further away ran or found a place to hide. Those who were closer did not even dare to move. They could only pray in their hearts that they would not be hit.
Xue Fanxin was very close to the coachman. The whip in his hand could hit her at any moment, and later on, it really did.
