Chapter 267: Characteristics, Preparation (Second Update)

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Naturally, the power of the Dazed Crow was deliberately exuded.

After all, he was too young. Those people who lived in the New World all year round didn’t recognise him as a rising star.

He was also too handsome, and it was easy to attract the hatred from the same gender.

It was just right to show a bit of strength and avoid some trouble.

Sitting on the back of the horse which height was just right, Su Hao reached out to touch the crimsonest feather on the Dazed Crow’s forehead.

It was a little hot and hard.

The touch wasn’t as comfortable as compared to the Big Fat Bear. He waved his hand, and the Dazed Crow flew into the sky with a “Squawk”.

…

The journey to the Sky Lake was boring. Looking around, the scene was just filled with rising and falling mountains and lush trees. Moreover, there was a vague dirt road in the forest — it was a road formed from the endless stepping of many sprites.

Su Hao rode on the back of the Dumb Unicorn leisurely.

The goods hanging on the Big Fat Bear’s arms were now placed on the research team’s Mountain Giant Beast .

Giant Armored Crab, Ten-Thousand Vine Turtle, and Giant Mountain Beast were the sprites in charge of transporting supplies in the research team.

Especially the Mountain Giant Beast, which was as tall as three to four floors. Its whole body was made of rock, and a “huge container” made of alloy was hung on its back. The load capacity of a single Mountain Giant Beast was no less than a heavy truck.

But trucks couldn’t travel in the wild with complicated terrain.

“The Mountain Giant Beast looks scary, but it’s actually a paper tiger.”

Apart from having a bit of strength, everything else was ordinary.

Its rock didn’t have any special polishing, and it only mastered a few unique skills. It had developed into an elite high-level, but its real battle power was inferior to ordinary mid-level and early-level.

Therefore, Su Hao got the Big Fat Bear to hang the goods on the Mountain Giant Beast, before instructing it to head to the front and do some scouting.

High in the sky, there was a Dazed Crow scouting as well.

Butterfly also diverted a bit of attention to keep an eye on the surroundings. Su Hao didn’t need to be too vigilant. He observed his surroundings from time to time and glanced at the map from time to time.

“There are too few precious materials, and their qualities are too low.”

“Well, according to Senior Wu, you can find precious materials anywhere in areas like the Dragon Court Lake but they are rare in the New World.”

He took a few glances and lost interest. He really didn’t want to pick it up, it didn’t match his identity as a master-level Sprite Trainer.

Butterfly was also engrossed in research so it didn’t express its interest.

On the other hand, the few young Sprite Cultivators in the research team were seizing every opportunity to earn some extra money.

They didn’t run too far away as they only moved within ten to twenty meters of the team.

The Dazed Crow and the Big Fat Bear didn’t need to defend from the wild sprites that occasionally appeared. They were scared away by the few elite-level sprites in the team.

“Like I said, there’s no danger on the way…”

Just as Yi Jiarong picked up a precious herb and muttered a few words, he heard a deafening roar.

“Roar!”

He fell to the ground in fright and turned to look in the direction of the roar.

Two to three hundred meters away, a dark golden figure suddenly leaped down from a hilltop and ran straight towards the team.

“It’s a Great Titan! It’s more than four meters tall. Be careful!”

Old Mr. Qian shouted.

On the right, an elite Ground Wolf immediately leaped forward under the command of its Sprite Trainer.

But…

Bang~!

The Great Titan swept its fist over, and the Ground Wolf let out a whimper after leaping over. Its figure flew backwards, breaking several trees on the way.

“It’s an extraordinary-level!” The expression on the Ground Wolf’s Sprite Trainer changed abruptly. Then, he remembered that there was also an extraordinary-level in the team, so he calmed down and commanded his other sprite to block the Great Titan’s route to buy time for the rest.

But the Great Titan was ferocious. It ran over and made rumbling sounds. With a wave of its arm, the big trees blocking its way were all swept away…

Its power was too terrifying.

The elite Sprite Trainer couldn’t help but swallow his saliva.

Right at this moment…

“Squawk–”

A scarlet figure descended from the sky. The Great Titan, which sensed the threat, stopped abruptly. It raised its hand to fan a huge rock and smashed it towards the sky.

Before the huge rock approached, it was broken into two and separated. The red figure suddenly flew in front of the Great Titan and flapped its wings.

Fire Crow Saber Slash!

Bang~!

The Great Titan stretched out its arms to block its chest but was soon sent flying.

An elite Sprite Trainer saw the deep marks that appeared on the Great Titan’s metallic arms.

The Great Titan, which flew dozens of meters away, didn’t even dare to roar. It crawled back into the forest and escaped into the distance.

The three elite Sprite Trainers and the other team members who previously looked like they were facing a great enemy were all stunned.

…

The Sky Lake was very far from White Cloud City. The estimated journey was two days.

Midway, they needed to set up a camp to rest.

Originally, Su Hao, whose camp construction skill was only at level 0, was feeling a little troubled until an elite-level Sprite Trainer whose name he couldn’t remember came up to him. “Mr. Su Hao, leave the arrangements to us.”

Su Hao, who was sitting on the horse, nodded expressionlessly.

He gave the other party a thumbs up in his heart.

At noon the next day, in the distance, a continuous mountain range appeared in his vision.

Su Hao repeatedly compared it with the map and confirmed that it was the mountain range where the Sky Lake was located.

However, the sprites which were slower at running such as the Dumb Unicorn and the Ten-Thousand Vine Turtle, were totally exhausted. They only reached the top of the mountain when the sky gradually turned dark. Looking around…

It was a lake with no end in sight.

The lake water was calm, shining with a golden luster under the afterglow of the setting sun.

“Is that the Sky Lake?”

“To be precise, what we see is only a small part of the Sky Lake,” said Old Mr. Qian. “The Sky Lake is very vast. It flows down from the peak of the mountains and forms huge lakes at the top of countless mountain ranges. What we see in front of us is one of those lakes.”

At this moment, a water-element sprite leaped out of the lake and landed with a plop.

Old Mr. Qian pointed at it and said, “The Sky Lake has its special characteristics. The lake water is very cold, but the strange thing is that the lake doesn’t freeze, and you won’t even feel much cold air.”

“Not only that, all the water-element sprites born here have a special characteristic of the Sky Lake, ‘frozen water’. The research value is very high. Apart from delivering some equipment to the research station, we’re also here to collect samples of the lake water… Well, just to extract some purified lake water.”

Although the Dumb Unicorn evolved from a bloodline, its final form was a Water Qilin.

But unlike the Big Fat Bear which inherited its skills, the development route of Dumb Unicorn was still uncertain.

Su Hao pondered. “Besides, perhaps because the Dumb Unicorn is still an incomplete Water Qilin after its evolution, its characteristics are predicted to be the same as its current characteristics. And the battle value of its characteristics formed from the Sky Lake will be very high.”

Therefore, he wanted the Dumb Unicorn to give it a try at the Sky Lake.

If water had turned into ice, the Dumb Unicorn, which didn’t have the ice attribute, would naturally be weaker, but frozen water was still water.

It was much more compatible with its attributes.

Furthermore…

“If things are the same as my estimation, the Dumb Unicorn may also develop other characteristics after its evolution, together with the special abilities it should possess after the evolution…”

At this moment…

Old Mr. Qian ordered the others to move the goods into the research station by the lake, inside a silver-white building three floors high.

The other Sprite Trainer guards were still carrying out their duties and guarding the surroundings. They didn’t lower their guard just because the nearby area was relatively safe.

Seeing this, Su Hao waved and instructed the pitiful Big Fat Bear, which wanted to play with its cell phone, to continue patrolling the vicinity.

He himself commanded the Dumb Unicorn to go forward and come to the lake.

He stood with his hands behind his back.

A gentle breeze blew past his hair.

After staring at the interface for a long time and observing the data of many sprites, Su Hao confirmed that there was no problem. He then looked at Dumb Unicorn.

“Go, bring the materials you need for evolution.. Tonight, I’ll help you set up the venue and complete the evolution.”
