Chapter 60 – Snow Sheep
Lucas and Qin Yun continued their journey towards the Snowflake Dungeon entrance. As they got further and further away from the location of the Blizzard Orb, the snow on the ground was getting thinner and thinner.
'Will the hordes of monsters catch up with us?' Lucas asked in his mind.
[No, all of them have been teleported back to their respective area. No hordes of monsters will appear but you guys will meet monsters around as usual. Since the weather is not the same as before, there will be quite a lot of monsters around] Sery told Lucas.
[You don't need to worry though, there are no strong monsters as we are getting closer to the dungeon's entrance. We will soon reach the area where it has already been explored by other tamers] Sery informed Lucas.
Lucas was relieved. He feared that a thousand hordes of monsters would suddenly march towards them. Luckily, that light had sent them back to their respective area. They would not need to worry about being stampeded or mauled by many monsters.
They continued moving forward and slowly and steadily, the day got darker. The night would come soon.
"Let's dig a cave below that tree," Lucas pointed at a tree near them. Qin Yun agreed. It would be a disadvantage to travel in the dark. It was better to rest for the day.
However, before they could start digging, something attacked them. Foody already sensed the enemy and blocked the attack of that monster with the iron plate.
It was a white wolf. Although it looked the same as the Snow Wolf, this wolf was the White Wolf. A Tier 1 monster. This wolf was similar to the white sheep, white dog, and white cat. A basic monster.
Although the Snowflake Dungeon was a dungeon with high snow, ice, and wind element energy, the monsters inside were not only those of the three elements. There were many other monsters not of these three elements.
Other than the obvious element to not be found in the dungeon, for example, the fire element monsters, most of the other element monsters were present in this dungeon.
Foody easily pushed the White Wolf with his iron plate and immediately after that, he used Plate Throw and killed it in a single attack.
However, that was not the end of it. White Wolf or any type of wolf would be in a pack. Once that White Wolf was killed, more and more of them appeared.
Foody went into action immediately followed by Raillow. Fury stood by Lucas and Qin Yun's side to protect them.
As Foody and Raillow were too strong, they easily eliminated the pack of the White Wolf. Foody was a Rank 10 Tier 2 monster while Raillow was a Rank 3 Tier 5 monster. The White Wolf was a Rank 5 Tier 1 monster without any nursery training and thus, the battle ended easily.
"Let's leave this place. The blood will attract a lot of other monsters," Lucas walked away from the area followed by Qin Yun. After half an hour of walking, they found a suitable place to dig a cave.
Fury did his job and dug a cave underground. Since he could fly now, his Roll was slightly different. Not only was it faster, but the Roll's movement was swiffer too.
After that, they rested until morning.
15th Winter, Month 3, Year 3400
Lucas and Qin Yun woke up, had their breakfast, and left the cave. They continued east towards the gate entrance.
"Let's hunt for a few snow element monsters," Lucas suggested. He was curious about the thing Sery mentioned yesterday. The snow element monster in the dungeon obtained something other than the seed. He wanted to know what they got.
"Sure. The system told us that we need to kill the snow element monsters to nurture the seed. I want to see what will happen," Qin Yun agreed.
The data about the Snow Seed was added to the stats of their pet. There were two things listed alongside the Snow Seed. Completion and Level.
At the moment, the Snow Seed was at Level 0 and 0% completion. They guessed that once the completion reached a certain percentage, the seed level would increase. So, to increase the completion, they would need to hunt snow element monsters just like the system suggested.
While they were walking, they arrived at an open field and on the field, there was a pack of about one hundred sheep eating the snow.
"Snow Sheep! Nice, there are almost a hundred of them here," Qin Yun was excited.
Snow Sheep was a common monster in the Snowflake Dungeon. Although they were common, they were Tier 4 monsters. They might look docile and similar to normal sheep but they were strong. Even so, they were still not a challenge to Lucas and Qin Yun's pet.
Snow Sheep was big. It was as big as a normal adult elephant. The wool on its body was not the usual wool but it was real snow. It had white skin and their meat tasted good.
"Even if we can outpower them, there are too many of them," Lucas saw that there were too many of them. With their number and size, they were seeking death.
"We need to lure them out of the pack first before we kill it," Lucas told his plan and Qin Yun agreed.
"Fury, lure one of them here," Lucas commanded. He asked Fury because, in front of the Snow Sheep, he was like a speck of dust (not literally).
Not only that but Fury could fly. If something went awry, he could fly higher to run away.
Fury received the order and left Lucas's head. He floated and went towards the nearest Snow Sheep. He flew slowly. When he got in front of the Snow Sheep, he flew around like a fly on the face of the sheep to attract its attention.
The Snow Sheep got annoyed and stared at Fury. Fury flew again and it got more annoying. Once Fury felt he got enough of the Snow Sheep's attention, he flew back slowly.
As he expected, the Snow Sheep followed. It wanted to end the 'fly' that disturbed it and angrily followed Fury.
"They are coming," Qin Yun whispered. Lucas, Qin Yun, Foody, and Raillow were hiding behind a tree on a bit of higher ground. They saw the elephant size sheep coming fast chasing after Fury.
"How about you do it first?" Lucas gave Qin Yun the first chance to fight the Snow Sheep. Qin Yun agreed instantly.
"Raillow, get ready," Qin Yun glanced at Raillow.
"Meow~" Raillow answered cutely. He fought the Snow Buffalo Leader that was much more ferocious and dangerous than the Snow Sheep and thus, there was no stress at all.
Fury arrived with the Snow Sheep. Once they arrived at the area agreed by them, Fury flew high in the sky, made a detour, and got back to Lucas.
The Snow Sheep stared at the sky and was looking for Fury in anger.
"Meeek~" The Snow Sheep roared at the sky. It was pissed by Fury for disturbing his mealtime. While it was busy looking at the sky, Raillow was coming fast from behind the Snow Sheep.
Raillow's body shone and he disappeared instantly from his position. He was using Light Dash. He sped up towards the Snow Sheep and his hand sparkled with electricity. Raillow wanted to attack the Snow Sheep with Lightning Slash.
