Chapter 226 011: Bait
Snow deer is a magical creature with ice element. It is born with the ability to use ice magic. Its grade is around 1st to 2nd level, and occasionally it can break through to 3rd level.
Although the grade is not high, this magical creature is quite rare. Because they have no population and cannot reproduce and cultivate, they are created by the mutation of ordinary elks during pregnancy. The reason for the mutation is still unknown.
The elk population occasionally mutates after absorbing large amounts of elements.
Scarcity makes things valuable, so the price of snow deer in the magic pet market has always been high. Many wizards like to buy them as collections. A newborn snow deer cub can be sold for hundreds of thousands of magic stones in the market. Although the snow deer in front of him is an adult and the price cannot be sold that high, hundreds of thousands of magic stones are still more than enough.
Lina asked, "Why are you grabbing this thing? What's next?"
"Don't worry."
Luo Xi first took out a magic contract scroll from the space ring, opened the mental force field to make a contract with the snow deer in front of him. For a magical creature like the snow deer, which is not too high in level, the way to make a contract is to just use mental force to crush it roughly and directly.
As the spell was chanted, under the effect of the scroll, a transparent shadow exactly like the snow deer floated up from its body. This was the soul of the snow deer.
The floating snow deer soul had not yet realized that it had left its body, and subconsciously wanted to get on the coat. However, before it could run away, spiritual tentacles flew out from the scroll below, tied it up tightly, and dragged it onto the scroll.
The snow deer struggled desperately, but it only had the strength of a level 1 primary wizard and was far from being able to break free from the power of the contract scroll.
The scroll became tighter and tighter, and soon the snow deer was pulled into the scroll. Then a complex rune was printed in the center of the snow deer's head.
After leaving a mark on the snow deer's head, the spiritual tentacles on the scroll were quickly retracted, and the snow deer, freed from its restraints, jumped out with a "whoosh", and was finally absorbed into the body under the constraints of the world's rules.
The snow deer, which had been lying motionless on the ground since its soul was extracted from its body, recovered again. It did not understand what had just happened due to its not very high intelligence, but driven by its will to survive, it immediately and quickly struggled to break free.
Luo Xi also released the mental force field, and the snow deer that lost control quickly fled far away.
"He's going to run away!" Lina said hurriedly. However, just as she finished speaking, the snow deer that had already run out suddenly stopped again for some reason, then slowly turned around and walked towards Luo Xi step by step.
You can see that it looks very unhappy and reluctant, but it still walked towards Luo Xi step by step.
Lina was surprised and asked, "What did you do? Was it the power of the contract scroll?"
Luo Xi nodded: "Yes, otherwise do you think it will come back like this obediently?"
Lina was surprised and asked, "The power of the contract scroll is so strong?"
She and Luo Xi had also signed a contract scroll, but Luo Xi had never used the power of the scroll to restrain her, so she didn't know the binding power of the scroll. Today she finally saw it for real, and for a moment her expression became a little strange.
Luo Xi glanced at her and said, "Don't worry, we agreed before. As long as we abide by the agreement, I will not use the power of the scroll to force it on you."
In fact, for intelligent creatures, the effectiveness of scrolls is relatively limited.
Lina said proudly: "I'm afraid of you?"
"Hurry up and grab your horn!"
The two of them then ended their chat, and Luo Xi took out a series of magic materials from the space ring and began to set up a magic circle on the ground.
Unicorns are much stronger than snow deer. They generally have a strength of level three or four, and the stronger ones can even reach level five or six, which is almost the strength of a mid- or high-level wizard.
Moreover, they are social creatures, and there are several of them at a time. If no preparation is made in advance, with Luo Xi's current strength, let alone catching them, he can only escape.
Soon, a large magic circle was set up in the ruins. This was an advanced magic circle called the Ice Barrier.
As the name suggests, this is an ice element magic. Its function is to create a barrier made of ice elements. The strength of the barrier belongs to a high-level barrier. Once it is opened, even high-level magical creatures cannot escape from it.
After setting up the barrier, Luo Xi took out a few grinding fruits from the space ring and fed them to the snow deer. This low-level magic material is one of the snow deer's favorite delicacies.
“Crack, crack!”
The snow deer's eyes lit up when it saw the Mosheng Fruit. It immediately stretched out its tongue, rolled the fruit into its mouth, and swallowed it in a few gulps. It looked like it was enjoying it very much.
After a while, the snow deer opened his eyes, and the hostility in his eyes towards Luo Xi had faded a lot. He even stretched out his tongue and licked him flatteringly.
Luo Xi laughed and scolded: "You foodie."
After that, he took out a bunch of grinding fruits and placed them in the center of the magic circle, and said to the snow deer: "Just stay here quietly and eat the grinding fruits. No matter what happens later, don't move. Do you understand?"
Although the snow deer was not very smart, it did have some basic intelligence. It nodded its big head at Luo Xi, and then obediently ran into the magic circle to eat the fruit.
Finally, Luo Xi took out the bottle of unicorn-scented potion that he had prepared earlier and sprinkled it on the snow deer, then turned on the invisibility cloak and hid aside.
Lina looked confused: "Can we catch a unicorn this way?"
Luo Xi nodded and explained, "Unicorns are a wonderful species. They are very united. No matter where they are, if they find a lone unicorn, they will definitely come to check on it and bring it back to the group."
"And unicorns' vision is not very good, so they mainly rely on smell to judge objects. I simulated their scent and sprinkled it on the snow deer. This way, as long as the unicorns around smell the scent of the snow deer, they will think there are unicorns here and will definitely come to check it out."
Lina suddenly realized: "So that's how it is."
She looked at Luo Xi with disdain: "What a sinister guy, are all wizards so sinister?"
Luo Xi shrugged: "Don't count, this is just a routine operation."
Capturing magical creatures is an independent course in the wizarding world. Luo Xi felt that his operation was quite gentle. If other wizards were to do this, regardless of casualties, there would be many other ways to capture them. (End of this chapter)
