Chapter 2276: 2276. Not Extinct

Following this line of thinking, Walker wondered if more than just coral had been dormant here and struggling to grow in this unfamiliar area. The coral had already struggled due to the light mana being too dense and causing the water to heat and cool unnaturally.

Well, unnatural for the coral. For this location and the form that the islands took, it was somewhat natural.

His question was answered right after he began looking though.

Within the broken ends of the corals, making a nest of tha snow flame coral which caused bowles of frozen saltwater to form, were small eel like creatures. Walker would have assumed they were snakes or serpents of sorts if he didn\'t notice their flattened tails. Meaning that they would be better off identified as eels. It was also supported by the all around appraisal he did on the spot.

\'Deep Tundra eel

Thought to be extinct as are their predators and their natural prey, this is an eel monster which can grow up to a hundred feet in length if able to eat properly in the proper environment. While they can survive on eating other prey and also in different environments, it will prevent them from growing properly and might cause them to lose their white ice scales which form due to the snow flame coral that they require to live safely.

They can use the uniquely powerful water mana which becomes ice mana within the ice flame coral to enhance the survivability of their eggs. Due to this, they will never stray far from the snow flame coral that can even slowly spread up the shore of a tundra beach.

There is also the fact that they are a delicate monster when they are not able to use the water mana to condense an icy scale armor around their bodies. This does also allow them to move in to smaller crevices to hide or to lay eggs.

Eating their meat is not recommended. They contain very dense and pure water mana in the form of ice mana. It can cause damage to the mana flow within the body and even cause ice to build up. On some occasions, it can cause frozen heart illness to begin which is the slow cooling of blood around the heart leading to it entirely freezing.

For some, the meat and the unique mana within this monster is a miracle medicine. This dense ice mana will allow for illnesses related to fire mana to be controlled for even entirely cured depending on the amount used.

Besides this, the small and flexible bones can be used as needles toi easily imbue ice mana on to what they are used in. While they are easily broken, they are an incredible tool for a seamstress, tailor, or other similar classes...\'

The small white scaled eel was clearly afraid to even move a foot away from the icy nest it had made. But without that nest, it could easily perish. This wasn\'t all that Walker could see though.

While the all around appraisal clearly said that these tundra eels would not leave their nest, he noticed some with cracked scales and some slightly red bodies underneath those scales. It didn\'t make sense that they would be freely moving around when the others were not. Especially since they could perish if they were caught in water that was too warm.

\'Flash flame eel

These eels are a miracle within themselves. Due to them being tundra eels at one point in their lineage,. They have entire immunity to the ice and cold. Yet, they have forcefully survived the heat of boiling water and remnants of fire mana from volcanic activity. As such, they have gained a fire affinity which allows them to survive their constantly changing environment.

They have incredible heat resistance and resistance to fire itself even though they are primarily water living species of monster. Their bodies can be coated in dense ice scales or they can release their scales to be able to move more fluidly during times when the water they are within is hotter.

Consuming their meat is extremely dangerous and will almost always lead to severe injuries. The collision of dense ice mana and fire mana within the body as the consumer tries to absorb it can cause great damage to mana flow and internal physical organs. It requires high mana control just to attempt to consume it and may allow for training in heat and cold along with ice and fire mana resistances...\'

There was a lot to take in, but the real key here was that these monsters were thought to be extinct. Their predators and natural prey were extinct. Along with the fact that the new species, flash flame eels had been able to appear just because of the unique environment here. Due to all the changes of time through the years, the snow flame corral had appeared beneath these islands. It struggled to survive along with the tundra eels which had been struggling right beside it. Then out of these many years since ancient monsters roamed the lands, the flash flame eels had appeared to survive this environment.

An amazing display of nature.

With the world expanding and returning to proper flow, it was clear that Walker was able to take a hold of this sort of amazing situation. He could use his skills and other\'s desire for research to ensure these monsters survived and did not go extinct. Beyond that, he would also be able to push forward the chance of returning these monsters to a palace where they should be naturally.

That was to assume that Genes could find that place. From what Walker knew, they had never gone so far as to reach a proper tundra. But if they were to do so, they would certainly learn new things. Some of which might help him learn more in depth knowledge about the density of water mana becoming ice mana and why that was.

With little effort, Walker managed to capture three of each of these unique eels while also getting samples of the coral. He was sure that there would be researchers who wanted to see them. But his mind also drifted to others who might find these monsters interesting.

It had been a while since Walker was able to check in with the tamer\'s guild. While there were many people that were a part of it, it was a guild that has not changed. Much. The tamers were still known for wandering about with their tamed monsters or looking to tame monsters while they wandered.

But these monsters here were very unique. Having someone for the tamer\'s guild to care for them and research them was most likely the best option since they would respect these monsters\' current situation. They needed protection so that they would not go extinct. The tamer\'s guild would grasp that and also learn as much as possible about them altogether. Continuing on, Walker was not surprised to find that su and the water wyvern were waiting for him. Their eyes focused on him the moment that he rose from the water with balls of water containing the samples trapping the monster and coral alike. He didn\'t torture the eels though, they were monsters capable of growing to monstrous sizes if left be. Therefore, he ended their lives quickly.

"These are the monsters living there because of this coral. It should have been in the coldest waters surviving near the shore of the coldest lands. But instead, they drifted due to ancient monsters and landed here. Luckily, they survived because they were all thought to be

extinct."

"So having you come to handle this was a good thing." Su\'s eyes flashed with pride. She knew that if she had not called for Walker they could have lost the chance to learn about these unique pieces of coral and monsters. Or, worse yet, the researchers could accidentally harm them and end the chances to learn about them at all.

"I did help a lot. Thank you both for guiding me." Walker saw the watar wyvern looking atn/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

him curiously. It did not seem to speak, but it understood him. Or at the very least, it chose not to speak. But it had never expected that Walker would treat it politely. Now it considered the choices of the sky wyvern queen and water wyvern king to be more valuable than before. A step in the right direction.
