Chapter 2437: 2437. Sharp Little Ice
There was so much below this frozen river to be able to keep track of. Walker and Midnight had been letting the current take them down the river while they focused on what they could see. Various species of monsters swam through the water, some didn't mind them and others went after them.
The blue salmon was an interesting monster that lived there and was barely the length of Walker's arm. It would rarely leave the river except when the ocean waters grew colder then it would head out to hunt for larger prey and grow seven times its size.
An interesting monster that would be a great source of food for hunting that he would be able to report to the merfolk who would frequent the area in this case. Otherwise, they saw more species of ice and water specialty crabs, and even another species of herb called false ice.@@@@
The herb grew in sharper pointed shapes which made it seem like it was ice, however, when touching it the herb was actually very soft and partially clear. It was valuable for treating the injuries that came from water type mana infiltrating the body because it actually could absorb the water mana from wherever it was used as a wrapping on an injury. The other uses would be found and discovered by herbalists and alchemists.
Regardless, these were just examples of things that Walker had seen. He expected to find a lot more but was somewhat disappointed. Not that this was a bad thing. It was good that he didn't find any more threats even though he was having the internal worries that a more dangerous monster was there.
The pair had floated in the river for an hour at this point and traveled a decent distance. With the way that things were, he was ready to allow others to be able to travel here and begin their own expeditions without a single fear that the danger would be too great for them.
That was until Midnight made a jerk to the right and dodged the sudden attack from the sands of the river beneath them.
'Ice pistol jelly
This little jellyfish uses its own body as a projectile. It covers itself in extremely dense ice then uses potent water mana to pierce its foes and use their body as a warm and safe nest to be able to lay eggs, grow itself larger, and even sometimes just to hide while it rests.
This makes it one of the most dangerous fresh water monsters that utilize potent and pure water mana to create ice. It will often be known as the hidden killer for this group of monsters. While they rarely are found in groups if at all, that is the opposite of when many of them are grouped together during their hatching season when the waters warm up just enough.
This is when they can activate a skill similar to the slime family's rare skill, assimilation. The skill, hive assimilation will allow the strongest to take core control over nearby newly hatched ice pistol jelly. In this case, the weaker ones will begin fusing and giving nutrients to that one causing them to lose individuality and become a great ice queen jelly.
"Something called the twelve covens has been found and a witch has contacted someone explaining that anyone who ventures beyond certain limits in to the forest of endless night will be killed on sight." Midnight tensed her muscles hearing that the prowl of Genesis were
threatened.
Yes, it was a scout that was caught and threatened, but Walker could care less if it was a scout or a flea. It was a member of Genesis who was threatened. Someone he had pledged to defend.
The same with Midnight.
Both of them were now very focused on the people calling themselves a witch of the twelve covens. Were they an enemy? Or something else brought out from ancient times through unique means?
