infodatos Chapter 95 The Yeti
Chapter 95 The Yeti
The campfire roared, and Lin Ye and his two companions sat around it to keep warm. The six corpses of the Ice Wolf Squad had already been thrown into the snow mountain by Lin Ye.
Grace sat somewhat awkwardly, silently recalling the scene that had just occurred to her.
The way he killed someone with a blank expression and then coldly disposed of the body was no different from the cold-blooded killers in movies.
"Smack."
Guderian lit a cigarette.
"I'm sorry, I was too careless this time. I didn't expect them to be bribed by that guy Yao Jing."
In the past, Qin was always in charge of security for the inspection team.
Unexpectedly, he came alone this time, and problems arose on his very first visit.
Thinking of this, he took a deep drag on his cigarette. Besides the commission, there was an extra charge that day... Damn it!
"Professor, how capable is the Kiran Labs?" Lin Ye asked Guderian.
Guderian scoffed. "Strength? What strength do they have?"
At this point, he glanced at the direction where the body had been dumped, "They only know how to resort to underhanded tactics!"
"In the past, Kiran Lab was always being suppressed by your teacher. It was only recently that they got in touch with Tieqin's side and started to become powerful."
"He's just a dog relying on someone else's shit; in terms of background and connections, he's far inferior to your teacher."
"Don't worry, I'll be back tomorrow. This isn't over!"
"Do you really think I don't have any connections in Xilu?"
Hearing that Kiran Labs wasn't very strong, Lin Ye felt a little relieved.
Looking at Guderian, he asked, "Aren't you picking the pure white snow lotus anymore? Isn't this the only time of year you can pick them?"
Guderian snorted. "After we go back and teach Yao Jing a lesson, your senior brother and I will come over."
"We were supposed to have the Ice Wolf Squad help us with the harvesting, but now it's just the three of us, so we can't harvest much at all."
"Since we'll have to come back again anyway, we might as well go back and take down Kiran Labs first, which will save some time."
At this point, he thought of Qin's instructions and looked at Lin Ye.
"You don't need to go back yet. Just go about your business. With my help, that Yao Jing guy won't be able to cause any trouble."
He sneered, "Perfect, let this old bastard know what I'm capable of!"
"If he dares to hire someone to kill me, I'll rip off his two fish roe bags!"
......
The following evening, outside the town of Hanlu, Lin Ye looked at the taillights of a car in the distance and turned to walk towards the snow mountain.
Several hours later, Lin Ye stood atop a cliff, the cold wind howling and the moon hanging high in the sky.
Without the professor and Grace, his speed increased several times.
Looking down the cliff below, the valley floor under the night sky resembled a vast ocean of shimmering light.
Looking closely, you can see that each streak of light is a snow lotus.
It is crystal clear, as if it was carved from ice crystals.
Lin Ye glanced around and frowned slightly, but there was no trace of the Azure Snow Lotus.
Either it's too far away to see clearly, or the green snow lotus isn't an ingredient.
With this thought in mind, he took out a rope and nails, and was about to go down when his ears twitched.
"Roar~ Roar~"
A faint, unusual sound could be heard in the howling wind, like something roaring.
He then scanned the valley, his gaze quickly locking onto a certain direction.
A creature about three meters tall, pure white, and resembling an ape crawled down from the other side of the valley.
His two hands, like hooks, moved back and forth on the stone wall, and he fell very fast.
【Ingredient Name: Snowflake Monster】
[Ingredient Category: Blood and Meat]
[Ingredient Tier: Mortal Tier]
Edible part: Snow crystals between the eyebrows
[Effects of Consumption: Slightly increases Constitution, Agility, and Intelligence. Slightly improves Flexibility and Reflex Speed.]
"Are there really Yetis?"
Lin Ye looked at the ingredient information with some surprise.
Looking down at the top of the snowflake monster's head, one could vaguely see an ice-blue crystal the size of a longan embedded between its eyebrows.
Before he could observe for long, the Snowflake Monster had already descended rapidly from the mountain wall, crashing into the sea of white crystal snow lotuses and splashing up a large cloud of snow mist.
"Oh ho ho—"
It pounded its fists against its chest, as if declaring its existence to the sky.
Seeing this, Lin Ye stopped and tied the rope to the end of the iron nail, then swung it fiercely towards the cliff face.
"Ding!"
The iron nail sank deep into the rock wall, sending sparks flying.
The next second, he gripped the rope and leaped, plummeting towards the bottom of the cliff.
"Boom~~"
As his body plummeted to the rope's limit, the iron nail was violently pulled out by the force of the fall.
Lin Ye spun around in mid-air, the rope rotating around his body, which also gave the iron nails a terrifying acceleration, causing them to pierce straight into the cliff face.
"Ding!"
Another clang of metal on metal rang out, and the iron nail pierced the cliff face once more.
And so, with the iron nails securing the rocky points one by one, Lin Ye descended like a fast and slow knife, reaching the bottom of the valley in less than half a minute.
The wind howled, and the sound of a hammer pounding on its chest kept the Snowflake Monster completely unaware that another creature had appeared in the valley.
Lin Ye didn't rush over; he wanted to see what this snow monster was doing here in the middle of the night.
Perhaps it was because those two bursts of sound energy enhanced his musical talent that, when he fell to the bottom of the cliff, he faintly heard a strange rhythm in the hammering sound of the Snowflake Monster.
The white crystal snow lotus is nearly a meter tall, and the size of its flowers is about the size of a large bowl. When you squat down, it completely hides its shape.
A slight chill emanated from the surrounding snow lotuses, and Lin Ye observed the Snowflake Monster through the gaps.
Compared to before, the speed at which it was pounding its chest was now much faster, and even the Snowflake Monster's face began to show signs of pain.
"Roar—!"
Suddenly, two roars, as if connecting the sounds produced by the hammering, formed a semi-transparent sound wave that made the surrounding snow lotuses sway.
The next second, as the sound waves spread and gradually echoed within the valley, the snow lotuses that had been swaying randomly gradually became unified.
"Buzz~~"
After a subtle tremor, all the snow lotuses began to sway at the same frequency.
At the same time, an icy blue glow began to appear on the petals of the snow lotus, gradually converging on the stamen.
In the next instant, each snow lotus emitted a crystal-clear, icy-blue light, forming a strange pattern.
A curved line is drawn inside a circle, resembling the division of a full moon into a crescent and a convex moon.
Lin Ye's pupils contracted as he looked at the pattern. It was a variant of the ancient Rhine script for "moon," called "Divided Moon"!
Before he could react, the bright moon in the sky seemed to resonate with it, spreading out circles of white light.
A ray of pure white moonlight extended down from the bright moon and landed on the 'Dividing the Moon' rune, instantly igniting the entire rune.
It was a bluish-white flame, carrying a sense of coldness.
About a minute later, the moonlight gradually disappeared, along with the 'Dividing Moon' rune, leaving only a cluster of bluish-white flames.
The Snowflake Monster raised its hands and gently lifted the cluster of bluish-white flames, placing it on a white crystal snow lotus at its feet.
In an instant, bluish-white flames enveloped the entire white crystal snow lotus.
Under the scorching blue-white flames, the white crystal snow lotus did not wither; instead, it began to grow stronger, gradually reaching nearly one and a half meters in height.
At the same time, its stems and leaves also began to turn bluish-white, especially the stamens, where a bluish light gradually became dazzling.
Lin Ye looked at the blue snow lotus, which was exactly the same as the blue-hearted snow lotus in the previous photo!
Isn't it food? What a pity.
Just then, the Snowflake Monster let out an excited roar.
It opened its mouth and inhaled, drawing the bluish-white flames from the Azure Snow Lotus into its mouth.
Its body trembled, and its fur rippled slightly, revealing a faint layer of barely perceptible blue flames covering its surface.
After a while, it excitedly pounded its chest twice, turned around and left, quickly climbing up the rock wall.
It disappeared into the valley in no time, much faster than the most professional rock climbers.
After it left, Lin Ye stood up and strode towards the blue snow lotus.
He had just prepared to fight the Yeti, but the creature seemed to have no need for the Azure Snow Lotus at all.
Walking up to the Green Heart Snow Lotus, its height of one and a half meters is just right for holding things.
He put down his backpack and took out a round object about the size of a quail egg.
【Ingredient Name: Millennium Snow White Fruit Seeds】
[Ingredient Category: Plant-based]
[Ingredient Tier: Mortal Tier]
Edible part: cotyledons
[Effects of Consumption: Slightly improves physical attributes.]
It's tasteless to eat, but throwing it away isn't too much of a waste.
He found this during the day when he went to the snow ginkgo forest area. In the huge forest area, he only found a dozen or so snow ginkgo trees that were thousands of years old.
There are only six seeds, and the snow-white fruit trees here almost never bear fruit after they get old.
Even if the result is the same, there is often only one seedling.
He speculated that the thousand-year-old snow white fruit tree and the ordinary snow white fruit tree might no longer be the same species.
Only snow-white fruit trees grown from seeds that reach the level of 'ingredients' will have the opportunity to grow to a thousand years old in the future.
