Lin Bai also noticed that there was a dark green mucus secreting from the branches of these vines. Once it stuck to his body, it would be very difficult to remove it. It was as if some disgusting creature was firmly stuck there.
In a moment of carelessness, his arm was whipped by the whistling vines. In an instant, a large area of his arm turned red. One could see how powerful these things were. At the same time, they also left traces of green mucus.
Lin Bai’s skin was slightly numb from the hit, and even his movements were slowed down for a moment. Although it wasn’t obvious, facing the overwhelming and menacing vines, this kind of slowness made Lin Bai fall into an even more dangerous state.
The creases between Lin Bai’s brows seemed to be able to squeeze a few mosquitoes to death. “Looks like these vines will secrete a substance that can paralyze people’s minds. Little Red, you guys have to be careful.”
Even though Lin Bai and his pet beasts Little Green, and Little Red were very careful, there were simply too many vines. Occasionally, they would be hit by the vines. Seeing that Lin Bai and the others were gradually losing, the situation on the battlefield became even more disadvantageous.
The unicorn’s warm eyes flickered, and then an even more dazzling white light erupted from its body. With it as the center, it rapidly spread out in all directions. The white light was like a huge wave spreading out, enveloping all the vines within.
The vines seemed to have received some sort of consolation, and they sank into a short period of calm from their manic state. It was unknown whether it was because they had received too much stimulation earlier, but some of them were still active.
The unicorn had no choice. The white light turned into a sharp blade, cutting a hole in its body. The vines seemed to have been attracted by something as they surged towards it.
Bright red blood dripped onto the vines. Red flowers bloomed on the ferocious branches. There was a hint of holiness in the evilness. At the same time, it calmed the restless vines.
They seemed to have been summoned by something and retreated under the big tree where the unicorn was. Other than the vines that were wrapped around the unicorn’s wound which seemed to have become even tighter, everything else was calm. It was as if nothing had happened.
The unicorn’s face revealed a pained expression. It was uncertain if it was because it had lost too much blood or because the vines had absorbed a large amount of its economy, but its pupils had become a little dim.
It said weakly, “It’s useless. These vines can’t be destroyed at all. If we attack them, it will instead cause them to go berserk, just like just now.”
Seeing the unicorn become so weak in order to save him that it couldn’t even stand properly and could only half-lay on the ground, Lin Bai felt a little guilty. “Then how can I help you?”
When he heard this, a ripple appeared in the unicorn’s calm and gentle eyes.
“Do you see this big tree? Actually, this is the divine tree of our unicorn clan. Those despicable people used shameless methods to curse this tree to lure us into falling into their trap. After that, I was imprisoned under this tree and lost my freedom.”
The unicorn’s tone was a little sad.
Lin Bai probed, “So you’re saying that as long as I destroy this big tree, I’ll be able to save you?”
The unicorn shook its head and gestured for Lin Bai to look up. “Do you see it. This big tree has been absorbing my nutrients. That fruit is also cursed. As long as you pluck it down, I’ll be able to be freed.”
Lin Bai looked in the direction it was pointing in. The tree that looked like a canopy above his head was boundless. The leaves on the top of the tree had become exceptionally large and heavy, as if they were protecting something.
Specks of silver light were left behind from the gaps between the leaves. One could vaguely see a round shape, as if the stars were surrounding the moon. That was a fruit. It looked plump and juicy, as if it had already matured.
Lin Bai could not believe that it would be so simple. As long as he plucked the fruit, the unicorn would be saved. If that was the case, the unicorn could completely rely on its own abilities.
As if it had seen through his thoughts, the unicorn smiled bitterly and shook its head.
“My actions are restricted by this big tree. If I want to pluck the fruit, it’s simply impossible. I can only rely on external forces. In all these years, you’re the first person to step into this place.”
Lin Bai recalled that Chen Yan had once told him about the forbidden area. There had been many people who had mistakenly entered the forbidden area, but in the end, they all disappeared without a trace. There were even no bones left. Then where had these people gone.
Hearing his question, the unicorn also revealed a puzzled expression, indicating that it did not know either.
“In order to prevent me from being rescued, those despicable people set up all sorts of formations outside. There were also those shadow monsters. Their purpose was to stop the footsteps of others and to cover up what they had done.”
Hearing the unicorn’s words, a subtle ripple flashed across Lin Bai’s eyes, and he quickly regained his calm.
Seeing that he was still a little hesitant, the unicorn thought that Lin Bai was worried about some danger.
“Don’t worry,” It hurriedly said. “The only things that can pose a threat here are those vines. Now that they’ve been pacified by my blood, they’ve already calmed down and won’t attack you anymore. If It’s you who’s going to take those fruits, there shouldn’t be any danger.”
“Okay.”
Lin Bai circulated all the spiritual power in his body and flew toward the fruit. Just as the unicorn had said, although there were many vines surrounding the fruit like guardians, they didn’t attack him.
Seeing that he was about to reach for the fruit, the unicorn’s eyes shone with an unprecedented light, as if it was surrounded by countless malice. It didn’t look holy at all.
If it was just a little bit more, it would be free.
However, at the critical moment, Lin Bai’s hand suddenly stopped in mid air.
