Beast Taming: I Can Bestow Entries-Chapter 162 Snow Sea Heart
Chapter 162: Chapter 162 Snow Sea Heart
Chen Mo sat in the village tavern for a while and quickly received all sorts of rumors about the Snow Sea Spirit.
Indeed, taverns and restaurants are the easiest places to gather information.
The earliest witness of the Snow Sea Spirit was a boy from the village Chen Mo was currently in. He was chased deep into the Snow Sea Forest by a spotted snow leopard while collecting herbs.
Barely escaping the spotted snow leopard, the boy encountered a blizzard. His spiritual beast, the Snowstorm Dog, was heavily injured protecting him and was now exhausted.
Just as the boy was about to be buried by the blizzard, in his moment of despair, a small sapling suddenly emerged from the snow in the distance.
The sapling grew rapidly, transforming in the blink of an eye into a gigantic jade snow pine tree dozens of meters tall.
The jade snow pine lowered a branch, instantly healing the boy and the Snowstorm Dog’s injuries, and then formed a giant snowflake.
The snowflake drifted with the wind, carrying the boy back to the edge of the Snow Sea Forest.
After returning home, the boy recounted his experience to his family.
Based on his description, his father quickly judged that he might have encountered the legendary Forest Spirit, the manifestation of the Snow Sea Forest’s own will.
No one had experienced anything similar in the Snow Sea Forest before, so this Snow Sea Spirit must have been born not long ago.
Once the news spread, nearby Spirit Hunters flocked in, with major forces like Snow Emperor City also sending people to search deep into the Snow Sea Forest.
Driven by lucrative offers, the boy’s father soon revealed the general location where his son encountered the Snow Sea Spirit.
The team from Snow Emperor City replicated the boy’s actions and indeed saw the legendary Snow Sea Spirit.
They immediately began a capture operation.
Unfortunately, although this Snow Sea Spirit hadn’t been born long and its growth level was only at the Extraordinary Ninth Rank, it could unleash near-Monarch Stage power in the Snow Sea Forest.
Plus, it could summon spiritual beasts from nearby the Snow Sea Forest, forcing the capture team to flee in haste.
"I heard that the boy who first encountered the Snow Sea Spirit tried several times to sneak out and warn it, but each time his father caught him and brought him back."
Bing Ling’er said with some indignation, clearly disapproving of the boy’s father’s actions.
The Snow Sea Spirit saved his child’s life, yet he turned around and betrayed it for profit.
"Ling’er, do you know where that boy lives?"
Chen Mo asked.
As the first witness, the boy might know the specific location where the Snow Sea Spirit appeared.
Gathering a bit more information is better than searching aimlessly.
"Follow me!"
Bing Ling’er, familiar with the area, immediately led Chen Mo to a small courtyard.
After Chen Mo knocked, a burly man with a scruffy beard answered the door.
"You’re here to ask about the Snow Sea Spirit’s location, right? The lecture will start soon this morning. There’s a 20 Spirit Coin fee; do you want to go in?"
Seeming to see through Chen Mo’s intent, the burly man spoke straightforwardly.
Hearing this, Chen Mo was taken aback.
Wow, it’s even developed to the point of selling lessons offline!?
"Can I chat with Zheng Chuan for a bit?"
Chen Mo equipped himself with the "Social Bandit" entry and asked.
Zheng Chuan was the boy’s name who first encountered the Snow Sea Spirit.
"Sure."
The burly man nodded.
"It’ll cost extra."
"How much?"
"Twenty... thirty."
Seeing Chen Mo looked well-off, the burly man decided to charge more.
"Twenty."
"Deal."
Chen Mo took out 60 Spirit Coins, but just as he was about to pay, Bing Ling’er spoke up from the side:
"I’ll wait for you outside."
She didn’t want Chen Mo to spend money unnecessarily.
Moreover, she certainly didn’t want to give money to ungrateful people!
Chen Mo didn’t insist and, after entering the courtyard, found eight Spirit Masters already gathered around a large table.
Just like him, they were all Spirit Masters wanting to find the Snow Sea Spirit.
On the large table was a sprawling map of the Snow Sea Forest, marked with detailed annotations.
Shortly after, when there were ten participants, the burly man cleared his throat and began:
"Everyone’s here, so I’ll start. My unlucky child’s first encounter with the Snow Sea Spirit was at this spot, about 10 kilometers from the Snow Moon Pond! At that time, the cold wind raged, and it looked like my unlucky child was about to be swallowed by the snowstorm. Suddenly, a white light appeared on the horizon..."
"Woo~" (Master, I feel like he’s bluffing.) freёwebnoѵel.com
After less than two minutes of listening, Xiao Jiu conveyed telepathically to Chen Mo.
"I also feel it’s not very reliable."
Chen Mo nodded in strong agreement.
He’s now even a bit worried that the so-called Snow Sea Spirit might just be a fake rumor spread by this father-son duo.
Well, if it’s a false lead, we’ll just consider this a sightseeing trip.
About half an hour later, the burly man finally finished boasting, not boasting, finished the lecture.
Watching the other Spirit Masters leave, satisfied with their notes.
Chen Mo felt slightly melancholic.
This money is really easy to earn.
Seeing that Chen Mo hadn’t left, the burly man sighed and said to him impatiently:
"Follow me!"
Soon, he led Chen Mo into a small room inside, where a boy around 18 years old with beautiful silver hair sat.
Possibly due to the climate, most locals of the Yulong Mountain Range had silver or white hair, including his current "guide," Bing Ling’er, who had impressive flowing silver locks.
"You’re limited to 5 minutes of conversation, extra charges for overtime!"
The burly man looked like a mercenary with his money-loving attitude.
Seeing Chen Mo, the boy’s eyes lit up in the room.
He proactively closed the door and said:
"The location my father told them is all false, don’t believe it."
"Guessed it. Besides Snow Emperor City, the other coordinates you gave are fake, right? You’ve played this game quite cleverly."
Chen Mo replied calmly.
With the Snow Sea Forest being so vast, if these Spirit Masters didn’t encounter the Snow Sea Spirit, it was simply their luck problem.
"Ahem, actually, the location I told Snow Emperor City was also fake and in a completely different direction. I don’t know how they found the Snow Sea Spirit. Fortunately, they didn’t capture the Snow Sea Spirit at last."
Silver-haired boy Zheng Chuan said clearly, then took out a fluffy, dandelion-like pure white flower from inside his clothes.
"This is the Snow Sea Heart, a token from the Snow Sea Spirit. Just crush it deep in the Snow Sea Forest, and you’ll see the Snow Sea Spirit. Could you please tell it I’m sorry and warn it not to trust any humans?"
The boy looked at Chen Mo earnestly.
"How much for the flower?"
Chen Mo instinctively asked.
This must be another trick!
Because before him, there must have been many people asking Zheng Chuan about the Snow Sea Spirit.
If the Snow Sea Heart were real, there’s no way, after all this time, not a single Spirit Master had found the Snow Sea Spirit!
