Chapter 1995 "Cold Poison"



However, a few seconds passed by, and the ape didn't move at all, just kept munching on the fruits. 

It was as if it never saw the fruits disappearing or anything. 

Such a scene naturally alarmed the three students. 

"What is going on? How come the ape didn't react to the illusion at all? Are you sure it has inhaled the fog? Or maybe the illusion fog doesn't work at all?"

Celia questioned Delph softly and Finley also squinted his eyes at the unaffected snow ape not far from their place. 

Something is wrong here!

The information provided by the holographic screen didn't give detailed data about the snow ape's various innate abilities. 

There was only the snow ape's 3D image, their diet,  special characters such as being cruel and having a high intelligence, plus the location of their lair. 

Now that the group encountered something unexpected, the three immature students would undoubtedly panic. 

But Finley was someone who had lived to twenty years old in his past life and if added up with his age in this life, he was already thirty years old. 

Unlike the unstable teenagers with little experience, Finley calmed down quickly  and immediately tried to solve their unexpected problem. 

Since the illusion fog was suspected to be ineffective against the snow ape, the group would have to readjust their strategy. 

Delph also didn't know why his ability didn't work on the snow ape, but he quickly recalled all creatures and people who were immune to his illusion fog. 

Then, he told his teammates about the common characteristics of these immune people. 

"The illusion fog has both the element of poison and mind control or mental attack, so if the other party has an immunity to any of these three elements, my illusion fog will never work on them." 

It seemed that the snow ape should have a good poison immunity or it had a good mental strength so that a mental-element attack could not affect it. 

There was also the possibility of resisting any mind control abilities... 

But for wild beasts, it was more common to be immune to poison. 

"The snow here is strange, and I suspect that there is a cold poison in the snow." 

Celia, who had more knowledge about various terrains than Delph immediately gave away another guess that she thought in her mind. 

"If that's the case, for any creatures to live here, they need to be immune to poison, " she added. 

The cold poison was often found in any ice element ability that would not only freeze opponents but also invade them with poisonous chill. 

The chill would slowly freeze the inside of the target and the target would injure their internal organs, energy core, and so on. 

Cold poison was one of rare poisons and not many people had natural immunity toward this poison. 

There were medicines and potions that could cure people who got cold poison, but the goods were hard to find. 

Now that they came to a strange snowy mountain, it was not false if they assumed that the snow pulled up here actually had a little bit of cold poison. 

Just living here for a while would only weaken the body and after leaving the place, the people might recover bit by bit. 

But for those who lived here all year around, if they didn't have cold poison immunity, they would have died already. 

Celia's explanation hit the nail in the head and everyone felt that what she said was the closest to the truth. 

Upon realizing that the snow around might contain a little bit of cold poison, even Ainsley's face turned grim. 

Although she had a hundred-poison antidote, the cold poison was not common and it was a rare one. 

She didn't have any antidote that could go against the cold poison. 

If any of them were really poisoned to a certain extent, they might all die here! 

Ainsley immediately reminded her three students about the cold poison in the snow. 

"Don't touch the snow or anything related to the snow with your bare hands. Don't let the snow touch your skin too." 

Ainsley was afraid that even if the amount of cold poison in the snow was not much, the accumulation of the poison might be dangerous. 

"Try not to inhale the air too deeply in case some ice or snow particles enter your nose and lungs, " Ainsley added. 

Since they now knew that the snow might be poisonous, everyone had to be more careful than before. 

The three students obediently followed Ainsley's words and after making sure they didn't come into contact with the snow around the leaves or the branches, the three students huddled together again to discuss the change in their strategy. 

"Since the snow ape is immune to the illusion fog, we will have to attack right away while it is sober." 

Celia pointed out the main strategy that they would have to change and Finley followed after. 

"I think I also will not use any ice element ability because the snow ape might have a higher durability towards any ice-related attacks." 

The snow ape had thick fur and the fur was also long, looking as if the ape was wearing beautiful clothes. 

No wonder the fur of the snow ape was the most precious thing on the snow ape's whole body. 

Finley usually used his ice element ability to attack enemies and he didn't rely on the ice destruction power. 

Because his strength was still not that great, what was truly frightening about the ice element ability was naturally the cold poison. 

It was much easier to kill people with advanced cold poison than with the destructive power of the ice.
