Chapter 2043 "A Strange, Intelligent Monster"



Since this place was a snow mountain— 

Naturally, most of the beasts and monsters awakened the ability to manipulate water, ice, snow, wind, earth, wood, and a little bit of fire. 

The monsters and beasts crossing the snow field had started to use their various elemental abilities. 

Although most of the beasts and monsters here only had one ability, which means they could only use the surrounding elements, there were some monsters born with innate fire elements. 

They also awakened the ability to manipulate fire. 

Thus, a monster that should not be able to use its ability because there was no source of fire around actually used its ability by producing fire with its innate ability and then used its imperfect awakened ability to manipulate the fire. 

It was strange that a monster born in a snow mountain should not have any fire-related innate physique, but maybe because there were indeed beasts or monsters who 'evolved' by going against the element of their habitat. 

For example, this strange reptile monster had fur and scales at the same time, but maybe because it was still a cold-blooded reptile in a sense, and it became sleepy, inactive, entering hibernation etc., when it lived in a cold place that it gradually mutated. 

The monster would die if it were so inactive and sleepy all day long, even if it lived in a relatively peaceful snow mountain. 

Thus, it started to generate fire so that it could at least be active even in the cold and could also beat many ice and snow-element beasts or monsters around. 

This monster was a high-level monster that could not be distinguished between a mammal or a reptile, and this monster was also a rare sight. 

There were too few monsters like this that could mutate such a strange element, just like Ainsley's mother raptor who awakened a unique metal ability. 

That raptor's body also became metallic and different from many other raptors. 

In a sense, the mother raptor should also have mutated, increased its intelligence, and finally used its metal element ability without needing any metal around, even if her ability was imperfect as a solo ability user. 

This fire-breathing monster was also the same. 

It was a high-level monster, and its intelligence was suspected to be equal to a beast, which means its intelligence was high, but its physical strength was also above the usual beasts. 

This fire-breathing mixed monster didn't rush to attack and cross the snowfield, but whenever the ability users behind the barrier launched ice and snow-element attacks, the monster would quietly use its fire ability to offset the attack. 

Unlike other monsters and beasts who couldn't even think straight and just wanted to attack any human beings in sight, this monster was strangely calmer, as if its purpose was never to indiscriminately attack the humans. 

Ainsley and the old general immediately noticed this strange monster through Ainsley's 3D map ability and the two people zoomed in the map just to take a closer look at this strange monster. 

The monster was more like a lizard with a not-so-tall body, but the size was even bigger than a crocodile, and it had a furry tail, furry ears and a furry back. 

The scales strangely only grew on this monster's vital parts such as the throat, the belly, around the eyes, the chest, and so on. 

The four feet were also not as short as a crocodile, which made this monster so strange because it could actually run as fast and nimble as a wolf. 

The feet were all paws, like ordinary wild mammals designed to step on a snowy ground with no problem. 

However, the claws on the paw looked more like a reptile's claw, not a mammal. 

The eyes of this monster also looked like a snake, clearly indicating that this monster was a reptile that somehow evolved into a half-mammal and a half-reptile. 

Seeing such a strange monster mixed with the surge of monsters and beasts who were crossing the snow field while sending attacks to their barrier, both Ainsley and the old general became serious. 

Ainsley still remembered the few special monsters and beasts back at the Godlif Country's beast and monster tide. 

Just one or two abnormal monsters with high intelligence and unique abilities could overturn the entire battlefield. 

If this monster was also as strange as those few monsters and beasts back then... 

Ainsley was about to speak when the old general already beat her to it. 

"This monster is unusual. But we can't immediately target it.  If it knows or realizes that we are targeting it, we might lose sight of it or it might be angered to an unimaginable extent." 

From what the old general observed, this monster never launched any attack to the barrier and just used its ability to offset the attacks of the ability users on the monsters and beasts around. 

So far, this monster was calm, and it didn't look affected by the miasma at all,  unlike the monsters and beasts around. 

Monsters were the easiest to be affected by miasma due to their low intelligence and their abundant negative emotions. 

However, this monster was not affected at all even when the beasts, who were the hardest to be affected by the miasma, all went berserk. 

This matter was strange, and maybe they would benefit from the discovery of this monster or something. 

After all, once a beast was contaminated by the miasma to a certain degree, they would slowly turn into ugly and strange monsters. 

Intelligent monsters who knew how to plan could be way more dangerous than beasts who were still sober and not contaminated by the miasma!
