Chapter 745: Glacial Snail Shell And A Roar (1/2)

Lin Mu was rather surprised due to this discovery and wondered if there was really something problematic about the water.

~shua~

Suddenly he saw the glow again, and this time he could somewhat see the appearance of the object. It looked like a snail shell and was gently glowing in a blue light. From the surface of the water, it looked like a spark, but here he could see it better.

”A snail? But I didn't detect any life here.” Lin Mu said.

He finally reached the bottom of the pond and went closer to the shell. It had dimmed down again and was hidden in the darkness. But for Lin Mu's spirit sense, it was no problem seeing the shell.

Lin Mu accurately picked it up and found it to be cold to the touch. As he was holding it in his hand, he found the shell to suddenly become ice cold. It was then that it glowed again and let out the blue light.

Lin Mu was mesmerized by its appearance. The shell was a pale white and blue line went along the spiral on it. The shell was empty and it was evident that the snail that it belonged to had died.

He took another look around the bottom of the pond, but did not find anything else here. Lin Mu returned to the surface and let the water drip off the armor.

”Did you find it?” Little Shrubby questioned.

”I did,” Lin Mu replied, and showed him the small shell in his right hand.

The shell was barely an inch in size, yet the cold it could exude was enough to make Lin Mu feel cold despite the armor of the mortal strengthening scripture.

”This is certainly not anything common if it can bypass the defenses of the armor.” Lin Mu spoke.

”That might be the shell of a Glacial Snail.” Xukong spoke.

”Oh? What's that senior?” Lin Mu questioned.

”It's a spirit beast as well but it's not really the same as normal spirit beasts. It can have a high cultivation base and yet not have a similar level of intelligence. They live in icy cold glaciers and can be found in its depths.” Xukong answered.

”I see, wonder how this shell got here though.” Lin Mu said.

He had not seen any cold areas when he was falling from the sky and even adviser Chu had said that there were no cold areas in the minor plane. Even on the tall mountains, there was no snow.

”It could have been brought in by some other cultivator that fell into the sinkhole, perhaps. Glacial snails aren't really that uncommon. They are hard to find just because they live beneath the thick glaciers.

But once you get to the right place, you will find enough of them.” Xukong spoke.

”But how can it affect my armor? I'm not supposed to be able to feel temperature easily.” Lin Mu asked.

”Hmm… it could be due to its inherent properties. The Glacial Snail is a beast of the extreme Yin Water attribute. Its body naturally contains the traces of the Dao and thus it can bypass the defenses of the armor.” Xukong answered.

”That's rather strong. Isn't that only possible for Dao Treading realm cultivators and beasts?” Lin Mu said.
