Chapter 59 – Snow Seed.
'Why is Foody unaffected by the light? Why are only Fury and Raillow?' Lucas thought.
"ROAR!!!" Suddenly, they could hear the monster's roar. It came from the direction of the rectangular light.
"Meow!!" Raillow was meowing excitedly too. As for Fury, he never talked and he did not make any sound but he flew in circles excitedly.
"Foody, why are you not as excited as them?" Lucas asked. He wanted to know. He was confused as to the event that was happening.
Foody glanced at Lucas and grabbed some snow from the ground. "Kii~ kii," he said that while pointing at the snow. After that, he made an 'X' sign with his arm.
Lucas and Qin Yun figured it out. "So, only snow element monsters are affected by the light," Qin Yun nodded.
"That light must be beneficial to them. So, they are excited about it but…" Lucas was silent. He thought in his mind, 'Sery said that the light is not a treasure… What is that light exactly?"
Suddenly, something else happened on the massive rectangular light. On the surface of the light, something came out. It was not a monster or any other living beings but it was a symbol. A massive symbol of a snowflake.
Once the symbol came out, the roar came out louder. Fury and Raillow were getting more excited too.
After that, the snowflake symbol shone brightly. It was so bright as if the sun was near them. Even so, the light was not hot but cool.
Lucas and Qin Yun blocked the light with their hands while Foody used his iron plate to block the light. The light was getting brighter and brighter.
Lucas looked below and he could not see his leg and body. They were drowned in the intense light emitted by the snowflake symbol.
Suddenly, the light that he blocked to his eyes started moving by itself and wanted to enter his eyes. Lucas and Qin Yun were shocked and they immediately closed their eyes. After that, they did not know what happened.
They feared that if they opened their eyes, the light would penetrate their eyes and blinded them. So, they dare not to look. Foody was the same too. He tightly closed his eyes.
However, other than the three, Fury and Raillow were happily receiving the light. Their eyes were opened and the light entered their body easily. They did not seem to mind it and were elated to receive that light.
Half an hour later, the shining light stopped. Lucas and Qin Yun could feel that it stopped and they slowly opened their eyes. Once they saw that the light had disappeared, they sighed in relief.
They both looked at each other and smiled wryly.
Suddenly, Fury landed on Lucas's head while Raillow meowed at Qin Yun. Then, a system notification came to both of them.
[Congratulations. Fury obtains the Snow Seed. Nurture the seed and Fury will gain enormous power. To nurture the Snow Seed, kill monsters of the snow element. Warning, killing monsters with the Snow Seed will destroy the seed permanently] the notification read.
Lucas looked at Qin Yun and asked, "Snow Seed?" Qin Yun nodded. They looked in the direction of the rectangular light and it was gone.
"So, that light gave the seed…" Qin Yun mumbled but he had no idea what the Snow Seed was. The system notification was too vague. It did not give any other information other than killing snow element monsters.
"What do you think will happen if we nurture the seed?" Qin Yun questioned. "The notification sounds shady," Qin Yun said. He looked at Raillow and asked, "Do you have the seed?"
Raillow closed his eyes and then something came out of his forehead. It was a small bluish-white seed.
Lucas and Qin Yun felt nothing from the seed. They did not feel that it had any malicious energy but since Raillow did not nurture it yet, it might not yet show what it had.
Qin Yun thought for a bit, "Then, doesn't that mean all the monsters that went to the light have the seed too?" Qin Yun questioned. "Should we spy on them and see what the seed will do?" He suggested.
"Sounds like a good idea but the warning from the system said that they cannot attack each other. Since the monsters love the seed, they will not risk losing it. Since all of them might have the seed, they will not attack each other because of fear of losing the seed," Lucas said.
"Also, we better get out of here fast. The monsters will go back to their respective area soon. We don't want to get their attention," Lucas said. Qin Yun agreed and they decided to continue moving.
[Hah~ Finally!] Suddenly, Lucas heard Sery's familiar voice in his head.
'You are back. What happens?' Lucas asked.
[The Snow Energy is blocking me. Anyway, that is not important now. Any of your pets get the Snow Seed?] Sery asked.
'Fury and Raillow get the seed. What is that seed?' Lucas asked.
[First of all, it is something new that the Guardian makes for humans. You don't need to worry. It is not harmful but beneficial for pets. I cannot give you any details as we are warned to not give any clue regarding the seed] Sery said and Lucas was relieved.
'So, it is something from the Guardian… Then, is that light, the Guardian?' Lucas wondered.
[No that is not the Guardian. The Guardian is busy with his own thing. Anyway, the detail of what the seed can do will be revealed to you once you nurture the seed. Go on and you can nurture the seed] Sery said.
[Also, use the Dungeon Capture one more time in this dungeon. We need to copy that light] Sery added and Lucas was shocked.
'… We can copy it. Then, can Fury get more than one seed?' Lucas asked.
[No, one pet can get only one seed. However, they can get another seed as long as it is of a different element and they must have that element] Sery revealed.
'Then, with Fury five elements, he can get five of the seed,' Lucas thought. Although he was not sure what the seed could do since Sery said that it was beneficial, it must be a good thing.
'That's right. Is it impossible to kill the snow element monsters in this dungeon? They get the seed too, right?' Lucas asked.
[Not all of them. Pet is guaranteed to get the seed but only some lucky wild monsters will get the seed. Most of the wild monsters cannot get the seed but they get something else] said Sery.
'Something else?' Lucas wanted to ask but Sery cut him.
[I cannot tell you what they get. It is not that hard to find out about it but I still cannot tell you] said Sery. He was adamant about not telling Lucas and it was understandable because that was the order from the Guardian.
'Another question. Is this seed bestowal ritual common?' Lucas asked. He silently took out the Dungeon Capture and released it without Qin Yun noticing.
[Since this is the first time it appears in the dungeon, everyone in the dungeon will get it. However, after this, it will appear randomly in the dungeon and only those that get close to it will get the seed for their pet and that something else for wild monsters. As for the frequency of it, it is random, so, I don't know] said Sery.
Lucas nodded silently and told Qin Yun, "I don't think the seed is something bad. The system has been with us since a thousand years ago and it never lied to us. So, there is no need to worry. You should nurture it. I plan to let Fury nurture the Snow Seed too," said Lucas while smiling.
Qin Yun thought for a bit and said, "You are right. The system will not lie to us," he agreed with Lucas. Thus, they continued towards the Snowflake Dungeon's entrance.
