Chapter 62 - Continue
Another Snow Sheep arrived and once again, it got angry after it saw the corpses of its comrade. It looked around and saw a monkey with a plate on its back walking towards it.
Foody took out the iron plate from his back and lightly threw it towards the angry Snow Sheep. The iron plate spun fast and flew towards the Snow Sheep.
The Snow Sheep knew that it was in danger. Instead of activating its Snow Guard, the Snow Sheep waited. As the iron plate was getting closer, the Snow Sheep's snow wool suddenly glowed. Once the iron plate touched the snow wool, it burst to send the iron plate away.
"Snow Burst," Lucas mumbled. He knew about this skill and never expected the Snow Sheep to use this skill rather than the usual Snow Guard.
Snow Sheep had three skills. Snow Guard, Snow Roll, and Snow Burst. Out of the three, Snow Burst was the strongest but the rarest skill used by the Snow Sheep.
Lucas had read about it in a book but the book never mentioned why the sheep rarely used the skill. The book that he read was not in detail either. It was just a book with a simple introduction to monsters.
Foody squinted his eyes. He realized that this was the second time his plate was parried elsewhere. First was the Rabbit Leader and now, a common member of a pack of Snow Sheep. Foody marched forward fast. He had seen the two earlier battles.
He saw how much Raillow was struggling when the Snow Sheep started rolling and saw how fast Fury handled the battle by not letting the Snow Sheep do anything. He did not want to end up in the same situation as Raillow and decided to act quickly like Fury.
After the Snow Sheep used Snow Burst, it was bare. All of its snow wool was gone. The Snow Sheep was naked. It had no protection at all and Lucas figured out why the skill was rarely used. Lucas appraised the Snow Sheep and found out that it was under a status effect. Its defense was lowered considerably.
The Snow Sheep decided to use Snow Roll but it was too late. Foody was now in front of it with his fur in grey. He was using Iron Fur. With Iron Fur, not only Foody's defense increased but his attack was increased too.
Foody started punching the Snow Sheep and due to its lower defense due to the status effect, it was defeated immediately.
"…" Lucas was speechless. He thought that the third Snow Sheep was smarter but it was just too angry and wanted to use its strongest skill to show how powerful it was. However, that backfires. He chose the wrong opponent to show off.
After the Snow Sheep died, nothing came out of it. No orbs.
"Ok, only those with the seed can produce the orb when killing monsters of the same element as the seed," Lucas found out the second information about the orbs. As such, Foody did not need to participate in the battle against the Snow Sheep.
They continued luring more Snow Sheep out of the pack. Fury would lure the Snow Sheep and Fury and Raillow would take turns to kill it.
While killing the Snow Sheep, Lucas found out that all the Snow Sheep they killed produced four bluish-white light orbs. None of them released more or less than four orbs and none of them were releasing something else other than the orb.
Lucas wondered if there were requirements as to how many numbers of orbs they would be producing. He would need to observe more before he concluded.
However, their hunt was stopped when the Snow Sheep pack realized that something was wrong. About twenty of their members had disappeared and they got more alert. Not only that but they were not lured by Fury anymore.
When they spotted Fury, many of them would try to attack it. Fury needed to abort the mission as it was too dangerous to attract that many of them at once. They were strong but could not handle that much. As such, Lucas and Qin Yun stopped the hunt.
Thanks to the continuous hunt, Fury and Raillow managed to increase the Snow Seed completion to 40%.
"I wonder if there is any change to the Snow Seed?" Lucas was curious. "Fury, let me see your Snow Seed," Lucas asked. Fury closed his eyes and something came out of his body.
It was a bluish-white seed but there was something different with it. When Raillow took out the Snow Seed before, only the Snow Seed had come out but now there was something new happening to the Snow Seed.
The seed itself had no changes but it was now inside a transparent globe. Nothing was weird about the transparent globe but there were still new changes. Fury took back his Snow Seed. Then, Raillow took out his Snow Seed too and it was the same as Fury.
After they observed the seed, Lucas looked at the pile of the dead Snow Sheep. He decided to disassemble some of them for the meat.
The Snow Sheep's meat was delicious and since there was a lot of it, he did not want to waste it. They would be traveling for a few more days and having the meat as their meal would be great.
Other than the meat, there was nothing else worth taking. The pelt had its value but Lucas decided to leave it there. Although it had value, it was not that valuable. As for the wool, when the Snow Sheep died, it turned to real snow. So, there was no wool to take.
Lucas and Qin Yun decided to leave the area. They continued east once again. They did not want to anger the pack of Snow Sheep and decided to end the hunt there. Never to disturb that pack of Snow Sheep again.
As they continued east, the group met with a few other monsters. As they were getting closer to the entrance, the monsters became weaker. Not only that but the monsters they found were of lower-tier too. Most of them were of Tier 3 and Tier 2. Rarely would they meet Tier 4 monsters.
While killing those monsters, some of them were the snow element. After killing a few more of them, Lucas found out more about the light orbs.
Since they were killing the snow element monsters, all of them would drop bluish-white light orbs. As for the number of orbs dropped by them? It depended on their Tier.
Tier 1 monsters would drop one orb. Tier 2 would drop two orbs. Tier 3 would drop three orbs and so on. The rank of the monsters would not affect the number of orbs. Only the Tier.
As for the 'something' Sery mentioned before, Lucas had no clue. No matter how many monsters they had killed, he found nothing about it. He decided to let it go.
So, the group continued towards the Snowflake Dungeon's entrance.
