YM778.TV Chapter 52 - 52: Ice Herb (Please follow the story!)
Dealing with so many polar wolves won’t be easy. What was the Guild thinking?
If a weaker Trainer fails to detect the Ice Concealment ambush of the snow wolf pack in time, they would be caught off guard by their sneak attack, and would die an icy death without having time to use the Void Stone bracelet!
While remaining vigilant, David Jones couldn’t help but complain inwardly.
As the huge gray wolves closed in from all sides, a flicker of nervousness crossed Rainbow’s eyes.
But her anxiety wasn’t due to fear of battle.
With nine polar wolves, Rainbow had confidence that she could deal with them within five minutes.
It’s just that David was right by her side. If the snow wolves attacked in groups, it would be difficult for her to protect her trainer under such circumstances. “Yiya!” )
Rainbow suddenly stood up, letting out a fierce scream.
Her small body, less than two meters long, exuded an overwhelming aura.
Rainbow wanted to unleash an Ice Tornado to see if she could take out the pack of giant wolves in an instant.
The surrounding snow wolves were immediately startled, their eyes cautiously fixed on Rainbow. They then opened their mouths, revealing sharp fangs, and growled from their throats.
Their hind legs began to bend slightly, gathering strength, while their front legs stepped forward, taking a diving hunting position as if they were searching for the right opportunity to strike within the encirclement.
“Use Confusion to fly high!” David immediately commanded telepathically.
Upon hearing the command, Rainbow hesitated for a moment and then wrapped her body around David without hesitation. Her eyes soon emitted a faint blue light.
The snow wolf squad, seeing this, had a flash of murderous intent in their eyes. Four giant wolves advanced rapidly, attacking from all directions towards David.
Rainbow’s powerful psychic power enveloped their bodies, and in the blink of an eye, David and Rainbow swiftly flew into the sky.
After spending a significant amount of time on the encirclement and then launching a fierce attack, the wolves ultimately failed.
Looking at the reluctant howls of the snow wolves below that quickly disappeared from sight, David smiled faintly with satisfaction.
As expected, after learning that he could fly, the polar wolves did not stubbornly continue their pursuit.
After all, failing to hunt enough prey in the ice and snow world would mean death for the members of the wolf pack.
“To be cautious, let’s land in the forest ahead.”
David glanced at the trees ahead, which were about a minute’s journey away. Such a brief flight wouldn’t consume too much of Rainbow’s psychic power. “Yiya?””(—(zn)—) y (Why run away?)
After successfully landing in a safe location, Rainbow hesitated and asked in confusion.
“Yiya ya!” o(‘a ‘ )o (They can’t beat me!)
“I know.” David gently stroked Rainbow’s proud head and whispered comfortingly.
“We need to maintain good condition at all times in this harsh, cold environment. Fresh polar wolf fur isn’t valuable, and they hardly have any Magic Cores, so even if we win the battle, we won’t earn many Star coins!” “Have you forgotten? Our main target is Mount Heaven Snow Pool! Only then do we focus on the Dungeon’s Pet Resources. Snow wolves don’t have anything valuable on them!”
David’s expression became a little serious. He wasn’t a hot-blooded youth who would needlessly fight the wolf pack and waste time on this unnecessary battle.
“Yiya!”(*’i *) (Understood!)
Rainbow nodded, understanding David’s meaning.
In short, those polar wolves were too poor for her Trainer to care about.
In the quiet forest, only David’s unhurried footsteps could be heard. He struggled to walk through the snow-covered ground, with a faint chill constantly surrounding him.
Looking up at the sun gradually obscured by the misty clouds, David Jones was about to take out his phone to check the time when the Rainbow by his side suddenly stopped moving.
“What’s going on?”
David hurriedly stopped his pace and followed Rainbow’s gaze to a tree in the distance.
His eyes settled on a branch of the tree, where it seemed like there was a small white head.
Thinking of a special bird-like Beast in his mind, David’s face showed a faint joy, and he immediately used his Identify Talent.
“Pet Name”: Forest Owl
“Pet Type”: Wood
“Species Level”: Intermediate
“Grade”: Class I lower-level
“Species Skill”: Camouflage, Last Breath, Herb Search, Wind Peck
“Pet Profile”: A bird-like Beast that inhabits the forest year-round, characterized by a timid and solitary nature. During the day, it maintains a constant posture on the tree, mimicking the shape of the trunk, while at night it searches for food in the tree, making it a renowned camouflage master among birds.
Looking at the two Beasts in front of him, David couldn’t help but quicken his pace.
He had only seen this kind of owl in the Beast Trainer Catalogue. Ordinary pets wouldn’t be able to detect such a good camouflage Beast.
“It’s alright, this kind of pet is hardly aggressive during the day!”
After talking to Rainbow, David reached out his finger and touched the small head of the Forest Owl in its belly area.
“This Forest Owl baby is only a Fresh Level III, just like the information said, it maintains this posture without moving!” David exclaimed in his heart.
No matter what he did to stroke the youngling, both father and child showed no signs of life and had no reaction at all.
In front of Rainbow, these two Forest Owls, big and small, seemed to feel a strong danger. They always maintained a frozen posture, trying to disguise themselves as tree stumps till the end.
“Rainbow, use Confusion to help me search this tree for any special elixirs!” David said expectantly.
Usually, this kind of Beast wouldn’t build nests on the tree but would hide the elixirs they had collected in the tree’s interior. This was why he was so happy before.
“Yiya!” (Alright!)
Rainbow’s eyes lit up with willingness, as she began to search around the top of the tree earnestly down.
“Yiya!”(‘V’ // ) (Found something!)
Rainbow’s crisp and joyful voice suddenly resounded.
“Use Confusion to take us there and have a look.”
Seeing the joy on Rainbow’s face, David smiled and felt somewhat expectant in his heart.
Arriving inside the tree’s main trunk, they saw a pile of muddy soil with snowflakes on top in the corner of the tree hollow’s center.
Beneath the muddy soil covered with sparse flowers and grass, David could only smell a faint, indiscernible fragrance.
He quickly and carefully unearthed the hidden elixirs with his hands.
“Snow Clarity Fruit, Frost Herb, Snow Lotus…”
David murmured to himself and identified the herbs one by one because of the improper preservation and loss of some medicinal properties.
“Ice Herb!!!”
David’s movement paused slightly at this moment. His pupils shrank suddenly, and he stared at the fresh and tender leaves in his hand with an astonished expression.
A Class I Forest Owl could actually find such a rare and precious herb, and it didn’t even consume it.. Could it be that it was specially kept for its baby!
