903: 896 Chapter: Reach a Consensus 903: 896 Chapter: Reach a Consensus “Then I asked so questions, and it only answered yes or no,” Fulajie’er said, “I asked it if it was guarding this tomb, and it said no.
Then I asked if this place was its ho, and it said yes.”
“So you an to say the Snow God can only agree or disagree?” Cheng Ziang couldn’t help but ask.
“It seems so,” Fulajie’er nodded, then added, “But I think that’s enough because I can ask many questions.”
Finally, everyone understood why Fulajie’er had been down there for so long.
Even with Fulajie’er’s domain contact, the Snow God still couldn’t speak, but it could express its stance.
Therefore, the way it communicated with Fulajie’er must have been by her constantly asking questions and it constantly responding.
After a series of inquiries, they finally figured out the general situation with the Snow God.
It turned out that the deep pit was actually the Snow God’s nest, and there was a water channel at the bottom of the pit that connected to a river.
The Snow God ca to the pit through this water channel.
As for why it ca to this pit, according to Fulajie’er’s investigation, it was likely because of the Magic Crystals.
Based on her observations, there was a small Magic Crystal Vein at the bottom of the pit, and the Snow God primarily fed on these veins.
This also corroborated the existence of Magical Beasts from the side, indeed showing that there was a type of animal that feeds specifically on magical energy.
Fulajie’er had also specifically asked, and the Snow God did not eat humans, at, or plants, only Magic Crystals.
The reason it had released cold air just now was because it felt threatened.
And the source of the threat was the burning stick Luo’er and others had thrown down.
The Snow God liked darkness and cold, and was extrely sensitive to light and heat.
Although the burning stick Luo’er and his companions had thrown was a cold fla, its strong light had still made the Snow God feel threatened, which was why it released the cold air in an attempt to drive Luo’er and the others away.
In other words, everything was just as Luo’er had speculated; they had rely disturbed the Snow God’s rest, which was why the Snow God had taken such seemingly hostile asures.
“So, have you reached an understanding with the Snow God now?” Luo’er asked.
“Of course,” Fulajie’er nodded and earnestly replied, “I’ve already made it clear to it that we are only here to look for the things we need and won’t hurt it, and it has agreed not to harm us further.”
“This sounds too amiable, it feels a bit off,” Cheng Ziang couldn’t help but express his concern.
“Don’t worry, I think both Fula and the Snow God are unlikely to deceive,” Luo’er turned around and said, “If it really is like Moumou said, then the Snow God indeed needs to expend magical energy to release the cold air, and this energy is vital to its survival.
So, I think if an agreent could be made, it’s unlikely that it will continue to act against us and waste the magical energy it needs to live.”
“Moreover, the very fact that Fula was able to talk with the Snow God for such a long ti shows that it possesses a certain level of intelligence, so I think this guarantee can be trusted.
And besides,” he paused, then continued, “even if the Snow God decides to go back on its word, we have plenty of counterasures available, don’t we?”
“So do we need to go back down now?” Hu Daoke asked.
“Let’s wait a while, until the cold air has dissipated enough,” Luo’er said, “You just experienced it yourself, that cold air is very intense, and staying in the tomb for too long could easily lead to frostbite.
This ti can be well used for Fula to communicate more with the Snow God, which should help avoid any further misunderstandings when we go back down.”
“Alright then, you all rest for today, and we’ll enter the tomb again tomorrow,” Cheng Ziang nodded and said.
“Fula, you don’t mind continuing to communicate with the Snow God, do you?” Luo’er asked.
“Of course not,” Fulajie’er twirled in place and then said excitedly, “If I weren’t worried about you guys being concerned, I’d love to talk more.
I’m really interested in that big fellow now.”
“Alright then, continue your communication with it, and make sure that there won’t be any more misunderstandings when we go down tomorrow,” Luo’er nodded and said.
“Then I’m off,” Fulajie’er said, as she was getting ready to dissolve her body.
“Wait, aren’t you afraid of those skeletons when you go down through the passage?” Luo’er asked with concern.
“Eh, I don’t pass through that terrible passage,” Fulajie’er pointed to a hillside not far away and said, “There’s a hole over there that leads directly inside, and I just ca out from that hole.”
“I see,” Luo’er nodded, recalling the ti when they had just reached the crevasse, there indeed was a faint light shining down from above.
“I’m leaving, goodbye,” Fulajie’er said, and in an instant, she disappeared from the spot.
Her body, originally made of magic, disintegrated into thin strands of light and then vanished into the air.
Axia’s eyes went wide with shock as she watched all this, her admiration for Fulajie’er climbing to new heights.
Actually, Fulajie’er’s current form was quite petite.
Luo’er rembered that when Nightingale constructed Fulajie’er’s body, it was based on the proportions of a real person.
The form that manifested before everyone was that of Fulajie’er before she beca separated from Nightingale, a girl not yet ten years old.
After spending a day and a night outside, by noon the next day, Luo’er and the others had made preparations to continue on their journey.
Before setting out, Luo’er had several exchanges with Fulajie’er to confirm that she had persuaded the Snow God, otherwise, they would surely be frozen again once they went down.
The personnel going down this ti had not changed, it was still the four mbers of the Advance Team plus Axia.
Since Fulajie’er reached an understanding with the Snow God, everyone was no longer as afraid of the tomb.
When they went down again, it almost gave them a sense of familiar nostalgia.
Following the dimly lit staircase down, the group once again entered the familiar passage.
It was still much colder here than outside, but compared to yesterday, it was already much better—at least their legs would not be frozen numb anymore.
Obviously, the reason why the tomb was so cold had to do with the Snow God.
Although it usually did not emit cold air, as long as it was present, the temperature inside the tomb would be several degrees lower than outside.
Continuing along the passage with caution, the group carefully made their way to the pit at the end of the passage.
There they saw Fulajie’er’s glowing form drifting back and forth at the bottom of the pit, her soft radiance casting light upon the Snow God’s imnse form.
According to Fulajie’er’s description, the Snow God’s appearance was sowhat similar to a toad, with a body that had uneven, bumpy skin.
Unlike amphibious toads, the Snow God’s skin was very dry and rough.
Its forelimbs were long and carried sharply tipped claws that stretched over two ters in length, capable of easily tearing through rock.
From Fulajie’er’s descriptions, Luo’er surmised that the Snow God’s claws were not the keratinized product of a normal creature’s epidermis but were likely so kind of tal.
The Snow God primarily fed on Magic Crystals, so by standard animal trics, it wasn’t correct to evaluate it.
Considering its claws could rend rock, this indicated that its claws were much stronger than ordinary rock, suggesting that they were likely of tallic material.
Besides, Fulajie’er also discovered that the Snow God did not have sharp, pointed teeth.
Instead, its teeth were neat and flat.
Luo’er figured that this must be because the Snow God needed to chew minerals, hence the evolution of such teeth.
They still didn’t know the composition of the Snow God’s life chanism, and although they were reluctant to believe that the Snow God could survive solely on magic power, the facts before them forced them to believe otherwise.
“Ah, you’ve arrived!” Fulajie’er, spotting Luo’er and the others, excitedly flashed over to Luo’er, drifting back and forth around him in excitent.
“I’ve already talked with it, you shouldn’t throw burning sticks down anymore to scare it, and then it won’t harm you guys either,” Fulajie’er told Luo’er.
“Would the light from this flashlight scare it?” Hu Daoke couldn’t help but interject.
“It should be fine, it doesn’t seem to be afraid of the light from either.
Wait here, I’ll go ask,” Fulajie’er said, and once more vanished on the spot, leaving behind an afterimage that lingered in everyone’s vision.
