Chapter 205: Web of Life
Looking at the corpse of the unicorn in front of him, the white wolf was a little speechless, this thing is the messenger of the elves, as the saying goes, "the two countries are at war, don't kill the envoys", but now he has not dealt with the elves, he has already bitten the messenger to death, in case it attracts the hatred of the elves, the basket can be stabbed.
But it won't work if you don't kill it, the situation just now is that you are dead and I am angry, and it is impossible for the white wolf to let go.
The white wolf pondered, but how to deal with the corpse in front of him, it would be a pity to destroy the corpse by burning it, he hadn't eaten the meat of a unicorn yet, maybe he could feast on it today, and its single horn looked very precious, maybe he could pull it off and study it.
At this moment, the white wolf's sense of smell reminded him that there was a strong smell of plant juice on the unicorn corpse in front of him, in fact, he could follow this smell back, if he could find the place where the unicorn started, he might be able to find the elf's abode.
Despite killing the messengers, the White Wolf still wants to find the elves, who are said to have too much food to eat, and the problem of famine in the emirate can only be solved by them.
The white wolf left the unicorn's corpse in its place, closed the wooden cup containing the god's blood with the lid, and then took the wooden cup in his mouth, and followed the bitter smell of the plant and burrowed into the forest.
Since some time had passed, the smell had become a little faint, and after barely tracking the distance, the white wolf found that the smell had been interrupted at a large tree, and the white wolf circled the tree, but did not find the smell of plant sap in other directions.
"Is it because I acted too late that the smell is gone? No... The smell here is obviously still very strong..."The white wolf hesitated here for a moment, and then realized what had happened, he should have encountered an illusion.
"If I'm right..."The white wolf closed his eyes, endured his conditioned reflexes, and jumped towards the root of the tree from the direction where the smell appeared.
Sure enough, the white wolf didn't hit the trunk of the tree, and he felt as if he had crossed a barrier and entered a space filled with gelatinous texture.
"This is...."The white wolf couldn't help but open his eyes, and in front of him was a colorful, tonal, dream-like world, where there was no sky or earth, only flocculent matter floating in the air.
Although the world in front of him was so beautiful, the white wolf still didn't dare to take it lightly, maybe there was an unknown danger here, although he was quite interested in this magical place, but he knew that now was not the time to explore the space, and he had to continue to track the scent.
In order to be disturbed by the strange scenery of this space, the white wolf simply closed his eyes directly, relying only on his sense of smell to guide his direction.
The feeling of traveling in this space is also very peculiar, both like swimming, and like flying, in short, there is no feeling of being down-to-earth, as a land creature, the white wolf feels quite uncomfortable with this environment, but fortunately, there is no danger along the way, and the journey is also very short, and it ends quickly.
After floating in the space for a while, the white wolf felt that he had passed through another barrier, and the feeling of being full of gelatinous matter disappeared, followed by the pungent smell of plant juice, which made the white wolf frown, and then opened his eyes.
What caught his eye was an extremely large tree, this tree was full of life, the branches were full of green leaves and fruits, I don't know why, the white wolf always felt that this tree gave it a sense of familiarity, he had definitely seen something similar to this tree somewhere, but he couldn't remember where it was for a while.
The white wolf looked around and saw that it was a verdant valley, surrounded by mountains, overgrown with trees, and a group of unicorns basking in the moon by the waterfall, and they didn't seem to have spotted the white wolf as they were sleeping.
The giant tree grows in the middle of the depression, and a waterfall flows down the peak behind the giant tree, splitting into dozens of small streams that flow under the bare roots of the giant tree.
"I remembered. These rhizomes made the white wolf think of something, and he finally remembered where he had seen such a giant tree, that is, where the black wolf had been sealed in the first place.
The place where the black wolf was sealed and here are completely two "worlds", there is a barren area with no grass, there is an ugly stone mountain in the center of that area, and there is a giant tree growing on the stone mountain, the tree is almost exactly the same as the one in front of him, but the tree has died, and later turned into a holy sword, which was swallowed by the black wolf, and the tree in front of him is still vibrant, which caused the white wolf to fail to recognize it for a long time.
"Could it be that this is where elves live?" The white wolf looked at the fairyland-like world in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh, this is the level that a fantasy world should have, if an elf girl suddenly pops out of the treetops, then he won't feel strange at all.
The white wolf turned to look behind, it was the entrance to the valley, and it was the only exit, but it was already shrouded in a fog, this fog was different from the gray fog, it did not give people a weird and disgusting feeling, but it was somewhat similar to the body of the red leaves, the fog produced by the fox clan's fox village maze.
Thinking of this, the white wolf couldn't help but close his eyes and sense, and sure enough, he sensed a strong rune power in the mist.
"Hmm... That's where it gets interesting. The white wolf muttered to himself.
The white wolf hid behind the boulder, which was a visual forbidden area for unicorns, and he patiently observed for a long time, but there was no trace of the elves.
"Maybe I should find a lone unicorn," the white wolf thought.
Prostrate himself, covering himself with huge roots, he dived into the water and groped in the direction of the herd of unicorns.
The white wolf dived into the water, sometimes groped along the roots of the tree, and finally approached the location of the unicorns, which were downwind, so the unicorns could not smell the white wolf.
"This is it. "The white wolf set his own goal, a unicorn left his group and rested on the opposite side of the waterfall, and it was in a position that was so hidden that it could not even shine in the moonlight, and it was difficult for its companions to know what was going on there, so it could be said to be an ideal target.
Once the target is determined, the white wolf begins to act, and it is still dark at this time, and many unicorns are sleeping, which is very suitable for infiltration and sneak attack.
After a while, the white wolf finally touched the vicinity of the target, looked at it silently for a while, and found that it was indeed unaware of itself, and began to act.
In the dark night, the white light flashed, and some unicorns seemed to sense something, but they didn't have a sense of crisis, they just turned over, hummed a few times, and continued to sleep.
The attacked unicorn woke up from a sweet dream, and when it woke up, it saw a huge white wolf lying in front of it, and was so frightened that it wanted to get up and run away.
However, it didn't succeed, the unicorn found that his body was completely non-stop, and the tingling sensation was all over his body, which was the effect of the white wolf's rune spell just now, to put it simply, he had just electrocuted the unicorn with a lightning strike, and now the long-horned horse was in a state of paralysis.
"Don't panic, don't move, as long as you cooperate, you won't get hurt," the white wolf said in a persuasive tone.
"I want to move, but I can't move at all," the unicorn thought to himself, and after listening to the white wolf's words, it was panicked and a little speechless.
"Let me tell you about your current situation, your people are now on the other side of the waterfall, very far away from you, if I want to kill you, they will definitely not have time to save you, but if you answer my question truthfully, I can consider sparing your life. If you understand, move your eyes up and down. The white wolf said kindly.
The unicorn quickly moved his eyes up and down.
"Okay, then I'll unparalyze your throat for you now, remember, if you dare to scream, you'll end up dead. The white wolf retracted his friendly expression and threatened.
The unicorn moved its eyes up and down again, signaling that it understood.
The white wolf pressed its paw to the unicorn's throat and stroked it gently, releasing a faint electric current from its palm, neutralizing the disturbed current in the unicorn's throat, and it was finally able to speak.
The unicorn's throat squirmed, and by swallowing saliva, it forcibly resisted its desire to cry out for help, although it knew that its companions were nearby, but the teeth of the giant wolf in front of it were already aimed at its neck, and it was definitely able to kill itself before its companions rushed over.
Thinking of this, the unicorn couldn't help but regret a little, why did he sleep on the other side of the waterfall, and he didn't even notice the approach of the white wolf because he slept too soundly?
The white wolf didn't know the unicorn's mental activity at this time, but asked a few questions that he cared about.
"Where is this?"
"Where's the elf?"
"What's going on with that weird layer of colorful space before?"
Because his life was threatened, the unicorn could only answer honestly.
"This is the secret place where our unicorns have lived for generations, there are no elves living here, that strange space is the web of life, only we unicorns can walk through it... Wait, you're actually from the web of life, how is that possible?" the unicorn's expression suddenly changed from fear to horror.
"Listen to you, it seems that I shouldn't have come out of it?" asked the white wolf in surprise.
"Of course, except for us unicorns, the web of life rejects all other creatures from entering, and even if you are lucky enough to enter, you can't tell where you are, so you can only be trapped in it!" said the unicorn with a shocked face.
"So... What exactly is the web of life?"
"This... We also don't know very well... According to the elves, it was supposed to be a magical space of unknown origin, which could be connected to the roots of any tree. ”
"Is that all?" the white wolf deliberately bared his sharp white teeth.
"I've told you everything I know!" replied the unicorn in a low voice, frightened.
Wonderful!
