As the snow melted, hundreds of seethrough petals circles around a deep dent. Suddenly the dent became deep and even from their point of view, they could see thousands of teeth circling inside the seemingly endless hole.
Just now they realized how huge that plant was. Kendra narrowed her eyes and snorted. "Rorry, are you sure this is a plant? Use your powers and don't let it fool you."
In astonishment about her words Rorry used her natural powers and touched the surroundings and hissed. "We should go further away. Much further away."
Hearing her words they turned around and started running. An angry screech was heard behind them. "Catch them for me, my babies! Hurry!"
Among dozen of people, only three had firepower. But Kendra found that it was enough. "Stop! Let's fight them!"
She realized that the petals were actually just part of the creature and were floating towards them. But the thing is, the scent came from those petals.
They just fought for a while and they were all tired. They planned to just find a way to rest as they will not be transported back to caves.
Molok looked at hundreds of those things slowly floating towards them and gasped. "Squids?"
He lived by the sea and met these creatures.
Kendra nodded. "If these are squids, that thing is the same and it developed intelligence to enhance and survive in this ice world. And we are food. No matter how much we run, they will catch up on us. If they are ice creatures, use fire. Cethin, you make Circle of Fire with their help."
"What do you plan?" He could see her eyes flashing in excitement. "Kendra?"
"Do as I say. Rorry, use trees to make them crazy inside the Circle of Fire. But don't burn the forest. Water users, summon water balls and spread them around the Circle of Fire. I will need them soon. Quickly!" Kendra summoned one of the potions she bought a while ago. "This is going to be painful."
Speed potion.
People think speed potion is easy to use. But it is not. You still need to use the muscles. After the speed potion stops, the cramps will start as she didn't train her body much last couple of months. Just her cultivation.
Taffy jumped on her head. "You idiot! You just came from the fighting ground. Are you trying to kill yourself?"
"No. But I guess the mother squid doesn't care about her babies so I plan to obliterate them all." Kendra used her wind power to bring her words to the creature.
But it just snorted. "Impossible. So many tried to kill my babies and they never succeeded."
Kendra flashed smile at her friends and yelled again. "To bad this mother met badcperson like me. I'll just burn them to death. Or should I make them to be in internal pain? Yes, pain is worse."
She blinked at Molok as she knew he had information. "Those things are part of their body. Will they die if I extract them?" She tried to whisper as she feared that the creature might hear it.
He shook his head. "Its like hair or nails on oyr body. If you cut it, it will grow again." He could see her surroundings sea and paled.
This is not one ice squid. It's hundreds of them!!!
Bess looked at Kendra and then at the slowly a preaching squids that were slowed down by wind cultivators and smiled. "Why do I have feeling that we will see another epic idea?"
Rorry and Grave agreed. Since start she always had amazing ideas.
With a smile she saw fire calls flying towards the squids and slowly surrounding them and making them stop. First Cetyin used fire wall and then with help of others, he turned it in Circle of Fire. Semidome made of fire to nothing could escape.
Just before the Circle of Fire connected, Kendra rushed inside, scaring everyone. Even Cethin cursed. "When did she get there?"
He couldn't stop the Circle of Fire and in fear saw flashing figure, rushing between see trough tentacles. He gasped as he realized what she was doing.
So calling scented pouches were something like dead tentacle that hung on their body. She just touched those things and summoned them into hee space.
But as it was still part of their body it curt quite a bit and their pain transfered towards their mother that started screeching. "Stop it! Stop it! You are hurting them!"
Each one that was taken scented tentacle froze in pain. Kendras heart hurt, but she just wanted to make that creature pull her kids away.
And at the same time, she wanted to stay Alice as those tentacles were clearly filled with strange material. Probably numbing gel of sort. No creature would just stand there and let it be eaten.
As she broke few more of those dead tentacles, the creature started screaming. "Please stop! Let's my babies come back, please!"
"Promise to let us go and I won't hurt them anymore!" Kendra rushed to one of creatures that had hard time fleet acting as the scented tentacle was too heavy. Even tho she really didnt want to kill these creatures, she would have done if there was real need.
But she could somehow feel the emotion of that creature. It really feared any of them would die. At least she can help them temporarily.
"I will let them go. But they have to let go of that dead weight. It is something I need and it us hurting their bodies. As those that I helped how they feel." Kendra stopped and saw that none of the creatures attacked her.
There was longer silence and suddenly craziest situation happened. The creatures that already for rid of dead tentacles went yo one side, while those that still had them, to the other side.
But Kendra was dead tiered. "Cethin let ho of Circle of Fire and tell water users to break off those tentacles with ice balls. Quickly!"
A cruding found could be heard as she summoned ice and numbed the tentacle inside it. Hundred as of tentacles broke off like that and squids slowly floated back.
"Thank you helping them. I will let you go. There is ice fire flower field on other side. You are lucky as it is in full bloom. Hurry, gather it." Then the creature closed its mouth and the squids became petals again.
Kendra just waved her hand and gathered quarter of the iced scented tentacles. "Molok, gather rest and share fairly. We have no time. I heard that ice fire flower has only one day of flowering time. And it is almost time for evening."
They looked at the field and then at Kendra that rushed across it and followed in fear. As they crossed a voice could be heard from the creature. "You trusted me..."
"Because you are mother. No matter what kind of creature you started as, you still care about your babies. Yes, you feed on others, but that is how any world works. Eat or be eaten. " Kendra used wind to send her words and heard a chuckle.
"Eat or be eaten. Thank you..." The mouth closed and no more words were spoken.
And they had no time. The sun was slowly setting on horizon and they finally saw the ice fire flowers.
But as well something else...
