Earth's Greatest Magus

Chapter 1067 Frozen

After successfully defeating the combat puppets, the two were ready for their next task:

The second harvesting task for the tempering facility given by Master Dulin.

Just like last month, along with Klea and Magus Shena, Emery also had Twik and the five Chizpur brothers come along with him. However, their destination this time was a different restricted floating island, a frozen island.

An island that even without any supporting weather from the planet’s atmosphere had been frozen for over 10,000 years.

Like before, they were quickly stopped by a magus guard and had to follow the procedure. After their credentials were cleared, the magus guard gave them the necessary data about the island before they were finally allowed to enter.

“OK gives me a few minutes to study the data”

The three were still hovering in the sky when Emery opened the notes given by Master Dulin and read the task given.

[Mintweed – Tier 3 x 3,000]

[Hydrangea – Tier 4 x 200]

[Taumatagoria – Tier 5 x 100].

Emery studied the data given on the thousand-mile island and compared it to the characteristics of the three plants. After careful analysis, he found three areas where the plants could possibly be found.

The tier 3 Mintweed plant in the southern forest where mid-level magical beasts resided.

Hydrangea, tier 4 should be found on the bottom of the 300-mile frozen lake filled with high-level magical beasts and low-tier legendary underwater creatures.

The crystal Taumatagoria flower grew on the Misty mountain, guarded by low and mid-level legendary beasts.

Fortunately, the condition was rather similar to his previous harvesting task. Hence its should be a task with a similar risk to the last one.

Realizing the matter, Magus Shena once again distanced herself to allow Emery to train himself, leaving him with Klea, Twik, and the five Chizpur brothers.

“So, where are we going to start?” Klea asked after listening to Emery’s analysis.

Emery was particularly interested in the information he read about Misty mountain, but he should start with the simple one first.

“Let’s check out the southern forest first.”

“All right.”

Upon arriving at the snow forest, Emery was able to quickly locate the magical beast that resided there with his spirit reading.

[Lagombi]

[Magical Beast – Level 33]

[Battle Power – 95]

The magical beast was in the form of a white rabbit with tusks and fangs. It jumps between trees and fights in groups. However, these magical beasts were not much of a threat to the group.

After taking care of several of them, Emery went ahead to check the designated plant. To his convenience, it didn’t require any special treatment in order to be harvested.

Thus, Emery gave the responsibility of harvesting the Mintweed to the five Chizpur brothers once again.

“Kuang kuang! Ku ku ku!”

“You guys, help me harvest this around here, all right? Beware of the rabbits, and…” Emery paused to think for a moment. “Get me a thousand extra.”

As Emery planned to create his own body-tempering formulas, he also needed some of these unique plants.

In the meantime, while the five Chizpur brothers scattered to harvest the Mintweed, Emery, Klea, and Twik went toward the frozen lake.

“Yes, we get to have some fun!” Klea exclaimed. The thought of swimming for hours in this sparkling frozen water filled her with excitement. She didnt even care about the underwater creatures that resided within.

To Emery’s surprise, the girl immediately took off her clothes, revealing her exquisite figure as she just casually changed into more comfortable swimwear.

After watching a short beautiful scenery, Emery swiftly created a hole in the frozen lake for them to enter. However, just as he was about to enter the lake, Klea quickly stepped in front of him to stop him.

“Not just yet!”

Under Emery’s curious gaze, Klea cast a protection spell that made their bodies more resistant to the cold. Moreover, she also created a bubble that then stuck to their noses, which would allow them to breathe underwater indefinitely.

Emery thanked her with a smile. Although he didn’t think he needed the protection, Klea’s care still made him feel warm.

As for Twik, the plant creature didn’t need any of those as he once again crawled into Emery’s shoulder, forming into a padded shoulder armor.

The cold of the frozen lake was definitely something that would kill any normal person below rank 6. However, Emery had an enhanced physique and Klea was highly proficient in the ice element. Added with Klea’s previous spell enveloping the two, the freezing cold didn’t bother them much at all.

It was certainly a beautiful lake that was filled with a few colorful species of plants that glows.

“This is beautiful Emery”

The Egyptian Queen once again surprised him with her power, telepathy. While she didn’t have the ability to read minds like Jinkan did, as a talented spirit reader, telepathy was quite a basic skill for her. Hence the two could communicate, even underwater.

Soon enough, they both found the beasts that resided in the water.

[Angst Eel]

[Magical Beast – Level 90]

[Battle Power – 145]

For the most part, these Angst Eels looked just like normal electric eels. However, each of them was two meters long and had sharp teeth very much akin to a shark’s.

Still, these particular sea creatures were nothing for them to worry about. What they needed to be careful of was the second sea creature that also resided there.

[Adoulinr]

[Legendary Beast – Level 35]

[Battle Power – 275]

These Adoulinrs were ten-meter crystal rock crabs that had two immensely powerful pincers.

Between the two, Emery could only devour the latter. However, doing so would be extremely difficult. Not only was the Adoulinr’s body exceedingly hard, but the underwater condition would make the fight very ineffective.

It would definitely waste too much of their time, simply wasn’t worth the effort.

In the end, Emery decided to just focus on harvesting the tier 4 plants. They both used spells that would hinder their presence from the beasts and the two took a fun swimming day together.

Being underwater together just gathering ingredients while communicating telepathically was quite a relaxing experience.

They were forced to fight a few times, but it was not really a troubling fight.

50..

100..

200..

250..

When Emery was finally sure that they had collected enough, the two returned to the surface.

But before heading toward the misty mountain, to collect the last ingredients, Emery decided to have a few hours of rest while cooking a fish to enjoy together.

It really felt more like a vacation for them both.
