Chapter 549: Chapter 550 Frost Shell_1

"Don’t worry, we’ll get you out of there right away."

Feng Yuan said softly as he stretched out his hand and gently patted the thick shell, while Agunas’s shadow swung its tail in confusion and said

"How could a Frost Shell appear in a place like this?"

"Who knows."

Finding that the Frost Shell had stopped howling, Feng Yuan stepped back a few paces and continued to use the power of the Earth Guardian Kirin to move the collapsed rocks. After a long while, he excavated a massive hall next to the Frost Shell and, having confirmed the reinforcement of the rock walls, looked towards the White Wolf Deity.

Scratching the ground with its claws, the White Wolf Deity slowly approached the enormous Frost Shell. As the White Wolf Deity neared, the Frost Shell’s massive body rapidly shrank until it was the size of a fist, quietly standing next to the White Wolf Deity.

Looking at the vacant hall, Guo Huai lamented,

"The Frost Shell really is huge..."

"What else? It is, after all, a powerhouse of the Northern Ice Plains, but it’s a mystery why it would appear here..."

Feng Yuan looked around, puzzled. He had noticed when he first excavated the Frost Shell; it was as if it had suddenly appeared there, with rocks and mud all around and no passageway large enough to accommodate the entry of the Frost Shell.

Seeing Feng Yuan looking at him, Agunas’s shadow floated forward knowingly to communicate with the Frost Shell. Feng Yuan closed his eyes as though resting, while Guo Huai, Hua Yiyou, and Wei Dongcheng crowded around the ’little’ Frost Shell, observing it curiously. Although the Frost Shell was now only fist-sized, its thick shell and the spikes on it still gave it a somewhat fierce appearance.

"Just from its appearance, you wouldn’t guess it’s a mild-mannered Spirit Beast..."

Guo Huai stared at the Frost Shell and commented; Hua Yiyou said in surprise,

"A mild-mannered Spirit Beast?"

"Yes, at least that’s how the information I know describes it."

"Then why would those ancient humans treat it as a monster?"

"With that appearance, it’s not strange to treat it as a monster, especially when it’s blocking the entrance. There’s nothing odd about demonizing it."

Wei Dongcheng said calmly; he had visited many places and had some guesses about these human-recorded oddities. Hua Yiyou pondered and said,

"I see... demonizing it based on their likes and dislikes..."

After a while, Agunas’s shadow spoke to Feng Yuan with a strange expression on its face,

"It’s a bit complicated to explain. Why not have Pu Pu directly use ’entry dream’?"

"Entry dream? Pu Pu doesn’t have that ability, does it?"

Feng Yuan said as he glanced at Pu Pu next to Guo Huai, who was looking at Agunas’s shadow in confusion. The entry dream special move was ineffective against Spirit Beasts that exceeded its own power level, not to mention the terrifying gap in power between the two. Agunas’s shadow shook its tail and said,

"It will guide Pu Pu’s entry dream move to let you see its experience."

"Guidance... that’s too much trouble."

Feng Yuan turned towards the White Wolf Deity, which exhaled a breath of white air. The White Wolf Deity, looking helpless, scraped the ground with its claws and howled long. A circle of pale blue flames spread out rapidly, causing the surrounding scenery to distort. Guo Huai was astonished to find that everything around him was slowly collapsing.

The ground below was paved with ancient stone bricks, with unknown wild grass growing in the cracks between the bricks. In the distance was a pale blue sky, and although there was no sun or moon, it seemed as if a layer of flame was burning in the sky—bands of brilliant light flowed quietly around. The sky was dotted with many ancient stone ruins. Feng Yuan looked at the tip of his index finger where a pale blue flame burned quietly and said,

"Is this better?"

The Frost Shell, returned to its original size, made a low, whining sound as a white light gradually emanated from around it. Mo Li alertly protected Mo Ling, wary of any danger that might appear.

"What’s this?"

As Guo Huai looked around at the surroundings that had become a beach, he found it somewhat strange, especially because although there were many Big Flower Shells and their evolved forms around, his system showed no reaction at all. Feng Yuan glanced at Guo Huai and said,

"The memories of the Frost Shell."

"Frost Shell evolved from Big Flower Shell?"

"What else? Big Flower Shell is the primitive form of many shell Spirit Beasts, it’s just that it’s easier for them to evolve into Qingquan Shells in freshwater."

Feng Yuan spoke, quietly observing the rapidly changing scenery. The Frost Shell just wanted to make everyone understand its situation and naturally wouldn’t reveal everything it had encountered.

From the scenes shown by the Frost Shell, everyone could guess that it was originally a Big Flower Shell happily living on the shores of Nanyu, but for some unknown reason, it climbed onto the back of an Ice Fang Sea Lion that was heading to the Northern Ice Plains. Following the Ice Fang Sea Lion to the Northern Ice Plains, the Big Flower Shell and its companions struggled to adapt, gradually getting used to the ice field from their initial discomfort.

Some companions wanted to return to their birthplace, the Nanyu beach, but shell Spirit Beasts are not adept at moving, so except for a few who couldn’t resist their homesickness, most could only stay on the Northern Ice Plains.

They had pondered going back the same way they came to the Northern Ice Plains, but when the Ice Fang Sea Lion left the ice field, it just randomly climbed onto a floating iceberg and drifted with the ocean currents, which made getting back to the Nanyu beach nearly impossible.

The Big Flower Shell could only endure the increasingly strong feelings of homesickness and silently live on in the Northern Ice Plains. As the Big Flower Shell continued to evolve, the once dangerous Northern Ice Plains no longer posed a threat, but even after it evolved into a Legendary Level Frost Shell, it still yearned for the Nanyu beach. That was until a glowing giant bird flew overhead and, perhaps sensing this was the only chance, the Frost Shell used the force of a water jet to propel itself into the air and harshly collided with the Light Bird.

As the environment around it changed, it saw the Nanyu beach it longed for day and night. However, just as it was about to land, the scenery changed again, and it found itself in the midst of the earth, feeling somewhat uncomfortable from the rocks and soil pressing against it. After trying many times, it realized that although it could break through the thick layer of rock and burst out, the warm little insects it had talked to several times about the space underground would be destroyed in the process.

After much indecision, the Frost Shell chose to enter an eternal sleep and wait for everlasting rest.

"What a mischievous little one... to dare follow an Ice Fang Sea Lion to the Northern Ice Plains."

Feng Yuan glanced at the Frost Shell and said with a smirk. Guo Huai, looking puzzled, asked,

"What exactly is that Light Bird? How could it directly carry it from the Northern Ice Plains?"

"Hanaesis," Feng Yuan explained. "The Beast of Longing. It must’ve been summoned here by the intense longing and homesickness."

"But to collide with Hanaesis directly... Even if it didn’t have its own consciousness, it would still seek revenge..."

Feng Yuan silently looked at the Frost Shell, which was retracted into its shell, so he couldn’t see its expression. Guo Huai, still confused, asked,

"Isn’t Hanaesis a Divine Beast? Why would it have no consciousness?"

"Hanaesis itself is a Special Divine Beast born from the longing of sentient beings. Strictly speaking, it can’t even be considered a life form, but rather a conglomerate of longing. Because of this, it can go anywhere; no spatial sealing move can stop Hanaesis."

"Not even Gitalien?"

Feng Yuan glanced at Guo Huai, slightly annoyed, and said,

"Do you really want to argue about this? Not even Gitalien can do it. As long as there is a creature with deep feelings of longing, Hanaesis can transition directly there."

"I suppose only special moves that segregate through the flow of time and break rules could trap it, but it’s pointless. Once no more longing can be sensed, Hanaesis will disappear, and then a new Hanaesis will be born."

"Anyway, you can consider Hanaesis a Divine Beast, or you can think of it as a natural phenomenon."

Feng Yuan said, looking at the Frost Shell,

"In that case, you might as well come with us later; we’re also planning to go to the beach."

The White Wolf Deity yawned and gently tapped its left paw, and the surroundings slowly returned to the rocky cave. Feng Yuan walked over, placed the Frost Shell on the head of the White Wolf Deity, who glanced upward but lazily ignored the Frost Shell on its head and leisurely walked back to Yao Yin’s side.

"This isn’t very nice of you..."

Guo Huai watched speechlessly as the Frost Shell sat atop the head of the White Wolf Deity. Even though the spikes on the shell couldn’t harm the deity, it still looked like it might fall off.
