Chapter 768 The Soul of the Curse

"Yes, this is [Ice Element], more precisely, it is [Ice Slime]."

Before Bell could speak, Jennifer took the lead in explaining.

"[Ice Element] is just a general term. In fact, the creatures on this [Dark Star] have many forms. There are animal-shaped ones, human-shaped ones, and all kinds of messy shapes.

Essentially, they are all composed of ice-based magic, just like the creatures on earth are composed of cells. Different types of [Ice Elements] also have different habits and powers.

Among them, [Ice Slime] is considered to be at the bottom of the food chain. [Ice Slime] does not contain ice cores in its body, so it is very weak in terms of strength, speed, and defense. The only praiseworthy thing about this creature is that the colloid in its body can quickly absorb the energy in the universe and convert it into ice magic. "

It is no exaggeration to say that [Dark Star] is the most valuable planet among the planets that the Menethil family has explored so far.

Like Mars, Neptune, etc., the precious magic materials produced on them are completely incomparable to the [Dark Star].

There is only one kind of material produced on [Dark Star], and that is the ice core in the body of [Ice Element]. Except for [Ice Slime], all other types of [Ice Elemental] will have an elemental core composed of ice magic power in their bodies.

This elemental core is both the fatal weakness of [Ice Element] and the energy source of [Ice Element].

The function of the ice core is to absorb heat from the surrounding environment to produce magic power. Each ice core can be regarded as an inferior version of a magic stone, which can continuously provide magic power for various facilities and magic props.

After the ice core was discovered, all researchers in the Menethil family were shocked. You know, this is a purely natural magic stone. It does not need any treatment and can be used as soon as it is brought.

Over the years, the Menethil family's exploration of the universe has been slow because of the difficulty in making the magic stone. In the absence of a magic source, many tasks require the wizard to do it himself, consuming a lot of manpower.

For wizards, the most scarce thing is precisely human resources.

The discovery of ice cores can be said to have perfectly solved the problem of insufficient human resources for wizards and will greatly accelerate the development process in all aspects.

Of course, the Menethil family was not dazzled by the major discoveries on the [Dark Star]. In line with the principle of sustainable development, soon after the ice core was discovered, William ordered a strict ban on hunting [ice elements].

While dispatching many combatants to the [Dark Star], William also specially recruited many magical animal experts headed by Scamander to conduct a detailed investigation of the ecological composition of the [Ice Element].

Before thoroughly analyzing the ecology of the [Ice Element], William does not plan to hunt in large numbers to prevent the rare pure natural 'Magic Stone' from eventually becoming a non-renewable resource.

After the group of people studied the [Ice Slime] for a while, Bell waved his wand and threw it far away.

[Ice Slime] can be called the cornerstone of the [Dark Star] ecosystem, and its status is similar to that of plants on Earth. Although other forms of [Ice Elements] can convert magic power through ice cores to ensure their own survival. However, the total amount of magic power transformed by this transformation is very limited and is not enough to support the growth of [Ice Element].

In order to strengthen its own strength and strengthen the ice core in its body, [Ice Elemental] must hunt [Ice Slime] and plunder the large amount of ice magic power stored in its body.

Therefore, the Menethil family treats creatures like [Ice Slime] just like giant pandas, and wizards are strictly prohibited from hunting them. As the heir to the Menethil family, it was certainly impossible for Bell to take the lead in violating his family's ban.

As for what Hermione thought about, catching an [Ice Slime] and keeping it as a pet, unfortunately, that was impossible.

All forms of [Ice Element] have the characteristics of being light-averse and heat-averse. Researchers from the Menethil family once conducted experiments and brought [Ice Element] to the earth.

Experiments have proven that [ice element] cannot adapt to the earth's living environment. In the 'ultra-high temperature' environment of the Earth, [Ice Element] will die within an hour, and the ice core in its body will also explode due to the destruction of its internal structure.

That's magic. Obviously after killing the [ice element], taking out the ice core from its body and bringing it to the earth, the internal structure of the ice core will remain stable. But if the [ice element] is killed in an environment like the earth, the ice core will explode directly.

The cause of this phenomenon is still under study. Researchers have different opinions, but there is no theory that can convince everyone.

After encountering [Ice Slime], Bell and his party quickly left the safe area completely. Not long after, an icy blue figure flew past everyone's heads and scattered the magic light ball cast by Jennifer.

"Be careful! It's [Ice Elemental] in beast form!"

Jennifer warned the others loudly.

Due to the unique ultra-low temperature environment of [Dark Star], it is difficult for wizards to use magic power to sense the existence of [Ice Element].

Even Bell only discovered this [Ice Element] through the flow of gas at the moment when the opponent launched the attack.

Fortunately, the [Ice Elements] discovered so far only have instincts, not intelligence. This creature will be the first to attack the target with the strongest light and the highest temperature within the sensing range, so as long as a light ball is fixed above the head like Jennifer did before, there is no need to worry about being suddenly attacked.

Of course, this method is only applicable in most cases. If you unfortunately encounter a very powerful [Ice Element], its attack range is likely to affect the wizard below. Therefore, when searching for [Ice Element], you must always be careful and not be careless.

"Sanna, I leave this opponent to you to deal with."

Bell stretched out his hand to stop Jennifer's attack and said to Shanna behind him.

"Okay! Leave it to me!"

Shanna couldn't be more happy that her brother was willing to leave this rare opponent to her.

The little girl raised the wand she had already held in her hand and cast her favorite starting spell without hesitation.

【Thunderbolt Explosion】!

With a 'boom', the [Ice Element] that turned around and pounced again was blown away by Zanna. But Shanna was not satisfied with this result at all.

Leaving aside the [Ice Element], it only had some surface ice chips scraped off, and it did not suffer any substantial damage. The most important thing is...

‘Where is my fire? Where are my bright red, crackling flames! ? ’

An explosion spell without sparks has no soul!

As a little witch who has strict demands on herself, Zannah cannot tolerate the spell she casts being soulless!
