164: Frost monitor lizard, thousand-year snow lotus
A giant tail whipped directly towards Li Daoxuan and Mei Niang.
Mei Niang, far from being startled, was delighted and exclaimed, “Husband, there must be a Snow Lotus here, and at least a Thousand-Year Snow Lotus.”
Li Daoxuan had no time to reply; he immediately embraced Mei Niang, utilizing his Divine Speed to its utmost, leaving only afterimages of the two of them.
The tail, hundreds of feet long, missed its target and then instantly vanished.
Fast! It was simply too fast!
Although Li Daoxuan caught a glimpse of its trace, he only saw a tail as clear and lustrous as jade.
“Mei Niang, what kind of Yao Beast was that big fellow just now?”
Mei Niang thought for a moment and replied, “It should be a Frost Giant Lizard, a Yao Beast unique to the Northern Ice Domain.”
“Frost Giant Lizard? Is it very powerful?” Li Daoxuan had never seen this kind of Yao Beast before, and even the intelligence he had gathered contained no record of it.
“Powerful! And extremely powerful!!”
In fact, Mei Niang had never seen one before either; she had only heard the elders of her Race mention it and warn her to flee immediately if she ever encountered such a Yao Beast.
“Husband, the Frost Giant Lizard is a bit troublesome. Should we just give up?”
Li Daoxuan said confidently, “Tell me the detailed information about this Yao Beast.”
“Frost Giant Lizards are extremely difficult to deal with. They are not only skilled in defense but also in offense, excelling in both long-range attacks and close combat.”
“The Frost Giant Lizard is covered in scales all over its body. These scales not only provide unparalleled defense but also have the effect of deflecting attacks.”
“The Frost Giant Lizard’s main attack methods are its tail, foreclaws, and tongue.”
“You saw the power of that tail strike just now.”
“Its foreclaws are incredibly sharp; they can be used for escape, and when used for attack, they are invincible.”
“Its tongue is very soft and skilled at binding and capturing prey, but don't let its softness fool you; it’s difficult to injure with swords and impervious to any Sharp Weapon.”
The more Li Daoxuan listened, the more astonished he became, and he asked again, “Does it have no weaknesses?”
“Its only weakness might be its eyes?”
“However, even if you manage to hit its eyes, it’s very difficult to take its life.”
“It can completely rely on its sense of smell and tongue to capture prey.”
“Most remarkably, they are also naturally endowed with ice and snow attributes, allowing them to manipulate ice and snow to attack enemies.”
Li Daoxuan’s eyes suddenly lit up. This Frost Giant Lizard is incredibly powerful, isn't this exactly...
Li Daoxuan excitedly asked, “How is its appearance?”
Mei Niang was stunned, then looked at Li Daoxuan with a strange gaze, and said resentfully, “Husband, what do you want to do? You wouldn’t be thinking of…”
Mei Niang suddenly shivered!
Li Daoxuan was speechless and directly pinched Mei Niang’s cheeks with both hands, pulling them and saying, “What are you thinking? Am I the kind of person who would be desperate?”
Mei Niang was truly scared!
Although she herself was also of the Yao Race, she had already taken human form! Frost Giant Lizards rarely can take human form, mainly because their Physical Body is too enormous, and they primarily cultivate their Physical Body.
Li Daoxuan said irritably, “You might not know, but I am actually also a Beast Tamer.”
Mei Niang knew that Li Daoxuan was an Alchemist, an Artifact Refiner, a Formation Master, and a Talismans Master, but she had no idea that Li Daoxuan was also a Beast Tamer.
This was also why Li Daoxuan had always concealed his identity as a Beast Tamer; Yao Beasts are also beasts, and he was afraid Mei Niang would feel uncomfortable.
“Really? Why didn’t you say so earlier? You made me worry for nothing.”
Li Daoxuan had almost forgotten his identity as a Beast Tamer; after becoming a sixth-rank Beast Tamer, he hadn't yet tested its power.
Before, he had always been in the Fox Race, and Li Daoxuan found it inconvenient to display his Beast Tamer abilities.
Suddenly, Mei Niang’s eyes sparkled with excitement and gossip, and she exclaimed, “If you use your Beast Tamer ability, then wouldn’t you be able to take as many Yao women as you want?”
“In this Northern Ice Domain, I know there are beautiful Yao women, like snake women… rabbit women….”
“Do you want to… *hiss*!” Li Daoxuan directly gave Mei Niang a flick on the forehead and said helplessly, “There’s a quantity limit!”
“Ah?”
Li Daoxuan said solemnly, “Let’s talk about serious matters first!”
Mei Niang then said, “Looking at the strength of that Frost Giant Lizard just now, it should be at the Great Ascension Stage, right?”
“Mm!!!”
Mei Niang then excitedly said, “That means there must be Snow Lotuses over a thousand years old nearby, and possibly even a Ten-Thousand-Year Snow Lotus.”
Li Daoxuan was also a bit excited now. A Ten-Thousand-Year Snow Lotus, that’s a seventh-rank Spirit Medicine!
A single Ten-Thousand-Year Snow Lotus is much more valuable than the five seventh-rank Spirit Medicines obtained from the Five Great Demonic Sects combined.
“Mei Niang, step back; leave the rest to me.”
He wanted both the seventh-rank Spirit Medicine, the Ten-Thousand-Year Snow Lotus, and the Frost Giant Lizard.
However, to Li Daoxuan’s disappointment, the Frost Giant Lizard, perhaps sensing that Li Daoxuan was not to be trifled with, actually fled?
“Mei Niang, did the Frost Giant Lizard run away?”
“It shouldn’t be!” Yao Beasts guarding Spirit Medicine generally fight to the death.
Mei Niang, seeing that there was no danger, began searching for the Snow Lotus again. Since the Frost Giant Lizard wouldn't come out, she would force it out.
If the Spirit Medicine you’re guarding is about to be stolen, won't you come out?
Li Daoxuan kept observing his surroundings, while Mei Niang fully dedicated herself to searching for the Snow Lotus.
Suddenly, Mei Niang’s face lit up with joy, and she excitedly said, “Husband, I think I found it, it’s in that direction.”
“Good!”
The two continued forward, encountering no attacks along the way.
“It’s here, dig!”
Li Daoxuan didn’t stand on ceremony and personally began digging. As Li Daoxuan dug, a rich, fragrant scent suddenly wafted forth—the fresh fragrance of a lotus flower.
However, before Li Daoxuan could rejoice, Mei Niang’s face beside him had already fallen.
“Ah?”
“How could this be?”
“Why is there only one Thousand-Year Snow Lotus here? It shouldn't be!”
Since Frost Giant Lizards are found here, there should most likely be a Ten-Thousand-Year Snow Lotus nearby. Could it be that it was eaten directly by him?
“Husband, do you think the Frost Giant Lizard might have eaten it directly and then run off?”
Li Daoxuan also frowned. Could it be that they would lose both the person and the treasure?
Li Daoxuan was unwilling to give up. His Divine Power of Insight glowed with a faint golden light as he carefully examined the Snow Lotus and its surrounding environment.
Suddenly, Li Daoxuan’s eyes shone brightly, and then he immediately restrained the light.
“Hahaha… I understand!”
Mei Niang asked curiously, “Husband, what did you find?”
Li Daoxuan pointed at the Snow Lotus and said, “Mei Niang, look carefully.”
Mei Niang’s beautiful eyes stared intently at the Snow Lotus for a long while before she said, “That’s right, it’s just a Thousand-Year Snow Lotus.”
Li Daoxuan: “……”
Am I asking you to look at the Snow Lotus?
I’m asking you to look at its surrounding environment!
Mei Niang was usually quite intelligent; today, she must have been confused by anger.
“Didn’t you notice any other problems?”
“For example, its surrounding environment, and the position where it’s growing?”
Mei Niang shook her head and said, “I didn’t see anything, Husband, just tell me directly!”
