Wizard: You can become stronger by living life to the fullest.

Chapter 227 012: Capture

The man and the ghost waited quietly amidst the ruins.

Time passed second by second.

However, Rosie's plan did not seem to go too smoothly. After waiting for a long time, there was still no sign of the unicorn. She had eaten all the Grinding Fruit several times in the middle, and even when the snow deer was almost full, there was still no sign of the unicorn.

Lina looked at her with suspicion: "Are you even capable? It's been almost two hours, and there's still no effect at all?"

Luo Xi said, "Don't rush, this is just the beginning."

In the blink of an eye, another two hours have passed.

The snow deer inside the magic circle was too full to eat anymore and started to doze off while crawling around inside the magic circle.

Lina scoffed, "Haha, trying to fool others? Look, these guys are shrewd enough not to fall for it."

Luo Xi looked puzzled: "That shouldn't be the case."

Lina asked suspiciously, "Did your potion fail?"

Luo Xi shook his head and said with certainty, "Impossible. I specifically tested it with test strips before. The unicorn flavor has been completely extracted. There is absolutely no mistake."

Lina rolled her eyes. "So the unicorns can't smell it? They were here sometime ago, and now they've disappeared. There's no way this thing can attract them!"

Luo Xi frowned, but quickly shook his head: "No."

"Unicorns are different from other creatures. They have a strong sense of territory and are very vigilant. They will only defecate in areas they consider safe. Since there is their droppings here, they must be active in this area."

"Their sense of smell is extremely sensitive, and they mainly rely on their sense of smell to mark their territory. The area that their sense of smell can reach is the boundary of their territory. As long as we are in their territory, it is impossible for them not to smell the unicorn."

Could it be that it sensed danger because we were guarding nearby and dared not show itself? But that shouldn't be the case, right? The invisibility cloak can conceal all traces of presence; a unicorn shouldn't be able to detect it with its strength.

"rustle."

Just then, a faint rustling sound came from afar.

At the same time, Luo Xi clearly felt an unusual mental energy field coming from that direction.

"They're here!"

All previous doubts vanished, and Luo Xi immediately turned to look in that direction.

Amidst the rubble and broken tiles, several white lights suddenly appeared. Night had fallen, and the white lights were particularly noticeable in the darkness. In the dim light, three strange creatures could be seen emerging.

They don't look much different from ordinary horses, but they are pure white without any other colors. What's even more peculiar is that they have a straight, pointed horn about a foot long on their foreheads.

unicorn!

The magical creatures that often appear in fairy tales actually exist in the wizarding world.

This strange species is born with the ability to control magic. It has a gentle nature and loves cleanliness, making it one of the most popular magical pets among females.

Three unicorns stopped at the outer edge of the ruins and began to observe inside, their nostrils flaring as if they were searching for something. Soon, their gaze turned to the magic circle in the center of the ruins.

In the unicorns' perception, there was clearly one of their kind there, but they weren't quite sure, because they had lived in this territory for a long time, and it had always been just the three of them. This suddenly appearing member of their kind was obviously somewhat strange.

Unicorns are not like snow deer, low-level magical creatures devoid of cognitive abilities; on the contrary, they possess considerable intelligence.

Seeing that the unicorn was suspicious, Rosie quickly used mental communication to make the snow deer resting in the magic circle stand up and move around, shaking its head. The book recorded that this was how the unicorn clan greeted each other.

The snow deer obediently did as instructed, and upon seeing its actions, the three unicorns outside the ruins immediately dispelled their doubts and quickly entered the ruins, hopping and skipping towards the magic circle set up by Rosie.

Fifty steps.

Thirty steps.

Ten steps

It's now!

The moment the three unicorns stepped into Rosie's magic circle, Rosie on the outside quickly threw off her cloak and knelt down, pressing her hands against the outside of the magic circle.

In an instant, the once lifeless magic circle seemed to come alive, suddenly lighting up beams of light. The circular magic circuit rapidly transformed the entire magic circle, and the once pitch-black earth seemed to be propelled up from the ground by a beam of intense light.

"Splash!"

The air temperature suddenly dropped, and a strong wind rose up, carrying countless snowflakes that swept towards the magic circle and quickly condensed around it. With a series of cracking sounds, the top of the magic circle was quickly covered by ice crystals, as if a block of ice had suddenly been placed over the ground.

The moment the magic circle was activated, the three unicorns inside realized they had been tricked. They quickly shook their heads and slashed forward with the sharp horns on their foreheads. The space in front of them distorted, clearly a sign of spatial magic.

Unicorns are naturally adept at spatial magic, and teleportation is a skill that almost every unicorn possesses, which is one of the main reasons why unicorns are difficult to capture.

Under the influence of spatial forces, the figures of the three unicorns twisted and vanished instantly. Under normal circumstances, the unicorns would have already teleported away by now, making it virtually impossible to catch them again.

However, the unicorns' infallible teleportation failed this time. The spatial power failed to penetrate the outer ice crystal shield, only distorting and creating ripples on the shield before the three unicorns were ejected.

Luo Xi pouted.

He knew that the unicorn possessed spatial abilities, so how could he not have taken precautions? When setting up this ice barrier, he specifically added a spatial sealing spell array, which was designed specifically to counter the unicorn's instantaneous teleportation. With these spell arrays blocking it, the unicorn would not be able to escape using spatial magic.

"Now comes the real competition."

Rosie was not complacent about the small victory he had just achieved. He knew that he was far from having trapped the unicorns, and the real battle with them had only just begun.

He immediately raised his hand, summoning Hellfire and the blacksmith Baldr, and controlled them to rush into the magic circle. The ice barrier was a one-way barrier, making it extremely difficult to get out from inside, but there was little obstacle to getting in from the outside.

Meanwhile, the unicorns' breakout operation also began.
