Something was pulling Bai Wu's legs, adding weight to him and preventing him from moving upward. With a glint in his eyes, anger bubbled up - Bai Wu's dragon form brought with it an innate overbearingness. White smoke came out from his nostrils as he puffed hard and he surreptitiously exerted more force in order to struggle free of what was binding him.
The thing, however, became heavier and grabbed on tighter, leaving Bai Wu concerned and agitated.
"Come on, Xiao Ya! You can do it!" Wu Ling squinted and directed her screams at her Gu vessel. Bai Wu then looked down to see what was impeding him.
A black rope was pulling Bai Wu's leg and there were things crawling up the rope. Slowly, the rope increased in thickness. A strong force was holding Bai Wu back, but that was the extent of its power. It was unable to pull Bai Wu back to the ground but Bai Wu faced immense difficulty in flying away.
