Chapter 133: You’re The One I’ve Been Waiting For
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The unicorn was the most mysterious and holy creature in the legends. No one knew how powerful it was. It was said that only the most beautiful and pure in the world, with a pure and unsullied soul, could see it. Only people who had never been tainted with any evil could see it.
No one could achieve such harsh conditions. In addition, unicorns rarely appeared in the world, so they became a legend.
There were very few historical records about it. Everyone thought that this creature was made up and did not believe in the existence of unicorns at all.
However, a living unicorn appeared in front of Lin Bai. Just like what was left by the historical records. Its snow-white fur and jade-white horn looked so pure and innocent.
Other than that, there was another saying that the unicorn’s horn had mysterious and unfathomable power. It was not impossible to change the world, so this also brought them a disaster.
This required the unicorn to hand over the horn willingly, or else it would be useless. However, this horn was where the unicorn’s spiritual essence lay, and it still needed to rely on it to absorb the essence of the sun and moon. How could it give it away so easily?
Even so, it could not stop people from being greedy. In order to obtain their horns, they would use all sorts of methods. As a result, unicorns became fewer and fewer, and eventually became extinct.
Lin Bai looked at the legendary creature in front of him and could not help but ask, “You’re waiting for me?”
The unicorn nodded. “Yes, I’m waiting for a fated person, and that person is you.”
Creatures that could speak human language were very high in both cultivation level and spiritual power. Although Little Green, Little Red, and the others had recently become much stronger, they were still quite some way off from being able to talk to Lin Bai.
Lin Bai pointed at himself and said, “Me? Fated person, you’re not mistaken, right?”
The unicorn shook its head with incomparable determination.
“I’m not wrong. I’ve been waiting for you. In order to obtain our most precious horn, I was set up by someone with evil intentions and imprisoned here. If you can help me escape, I will give you a generous reward.”
Only then did Lin Bai notice that there were countless black vines on the unicorn’s feet. They were covered with barbs and dried leaves. They wrapped around the unicorn’s body, preventing it from leaving.
Those vines looked extremely weak and did not seem to pose any threat. However, how could a simple existence be able to restrain the unicorn.
A cl.u.s.ter of flames appeared on Lin Bai’s fingertip. Golden and red light interweaved together. Although it was only a small ball, the power it produced was extremely great. It was refined from the Sun True Flame and could burn everything.
The flames landed on the vines and seemed to produce a tremendous power. The tongues of fire shot up into the sky and instantly devoured the vines. However, a burst of white light appeared beside the unicorn. It wrapped itself around the unicorn and was not harmed at all.
However, when the light dissipated, the black vines did not even have a speck of dust on them. They did not even move as they wrapped themselves around the unicorn’s body. They were even in a state of frenzy due to their attacks.
In an instant, they became incomparably large. They were like long black snakes that grew and danced wildly as they charged in Lin Bai’s direction.
“Bang!”
A loud sound could be heard. The long black snake was like a whip that fiercely struck the ground. The boulder that was half the height of a person shattered with a sound. Even the ground was left with a deep ravine. If Lin Bai hadn’t dodged in time, he would have been decapitated by now.
Rustling sounds came from beside him. The vines seemed to have come alive, and their bodies became even thicker. They were like water snakes that had evolved into flood dragons that danced in the sky.
These vines were densely intertwined together, forming a huge net that covered the sky and earth. Lin Bai summoned Little Green, Little Red, and Little Black to fight.
The moment the little ones appeared, no one noticed that the originally pure and holy unicorn’s eyes had become exceptionally deep, like a bottomless lake. It flashed with a greedy light, as if it had seen some kind of delicious food.
Little Green, Little Red, and the others only felt a chill, as if something had climbed up from the abyss. Its gaze was sticky and evil, and could not be removed. However, it was fleeting.
They turned around, only to see the sky filled with vines and the unicorn’s eyes that were filled with worry.
Little Red flapped its wings, and its gorgeous tail feathers became fiery red. It was like a ball of burning flames. Fireb.a.l.l.s filled the sky like meteors, falling from the sky and covering the vines.
If one ignored the dragon-snake-like vines, the scene would be rather dreamy.
Little Green suddenly opened its mouth. Its sharp fangs flickered with a cold light in the air. A huge water dragon swept out, wrapping around these vines. The blue crystal ball wrapped around these vines, looking twisted and strange.
Unfortunately, regardless of whether it was water or fire attacks, they only left faint marks on these vines. Not only did they not destroy them, but they also seemed to become their nourishment, allowing them to grow even faster.
Even the incomparably sharp Ruoshui sword could not do anything to them. It was as if it could not break them no matter how hard it tried. Instead, it wound around the blade of the sword, preventing Lin Bai from moving. If the Ruoshui sword was restrained, its power would be greatly reduced.
Originally, there were only a few vines. But now, the entire green lawn was covered. Even the air was filled with their wildly dancing shadows.. They wriggled on the ground, looking a little disgusting forming a stark contrast to the holy unicorn.
