CHAPTER 418: CHAPTER 365: TEN THOUSAND YEAR PROFOUND ICE

Chu Chen rested his chin in contemplation, certain that there was something peculiar in the cold pool, but he couldn’t determine whether it was an opportunity or a crisis.

Currently, Chu Chen’s Water Element Guardian Beast was only the Cage, but it was merely Commander Level and disliked the cold. If a crisis occurred, the Cage couldn’t protect him completely.

Thinking of this, Chu Chen’s brows immediately knitted tightly.

At this moment, Sister Su walked up to Chu Chen and gently asked, "Is there something troubling you, little brother? Maybe I can help."

Feeling the warm breath by his ear, Chu Chen uncomfortably shifted a step to the side.

Seeing this, Sister Su wasn’t angry but instead smiled and said, "Don’t go, little brother. I won’t eat you."

Upon hearing this, Chu Chen hurriedly asked, "Sister Su, do you have a Water Element Guardian Beast?"

"Of course, but its realm isn’t high, just barely reaching Lord-level Peak."

Hearing this, Chu Chen raised his eyebrows. Lord-level Peak wasn’t too low. Even if there was danger, it could escape.

"Sister Su, are you interested in exploring the cold pool? If we find any treasure, we’ll split it evenly. How about that?" Chu Chen asked with a smile.

Sister Su didn’t answer immediately but thought for a moment before smiling and saying, "Alright, I’ll accompany you. How could I resist such a request from my soft-hearted little brother?"

Hearing this, Chu Chen shivered. Sister Su’s behavior was like a different person, which made him feel uncomfortable.

Chu Chen actually preferred the rebellious Sister Su and wanted to force her back to her old self.

Sister Su couldn’t help but laugh at Chu Chen’s expression, but she didn’t go overboard and quickly summoned her Guardian Beast.

Chu Chen, upon seeing Sister Su’s Guardian Beast, couldn’t help but exclaim, "Kapibara."

Sister Su heard and asked puzzledly, "What did you say?"

Chu Chen quickly waved his hand and said, "Nothing, nothing. Your Giant Power Water Capybara is very well raised."

Hearing this, Sister Su nodded proudly and said, "Of course, it’s the apple of my eye."

The Giant Power Water Capybara’s shoulders were about two meters high, its body length reaching four meters. Its limbs were extremely sturdy, with brown fur on its body, chewing on tender grass, looking very relaxed and emotionally stable.

However, Chu Chen was intrigued by its talent.

Enemy Becomes Friend: Can eliminate the enemy’s hostility.

Perhaps this was the reason for its stable emotions.

"It’s getting late. Shall we go down to investigate?"

Sister Su nodded and leapt onto the back of the Giant Power Water Capybara, then beckoned to Chu Chen with her hand, "Come on, little brother. Hold on tight to your sister."

Chu Chen, already somewhat immune to this, didn’t hesitate and leapt directly onto the back of the Giant Power Water Capybara.

The Giant Power Water Capybara opened its mouth and spat out a huge water ball, enveloping both of them and the beast.

It jumped directly into the cold pool. The water ball isolated them from the pool’s water, and it leisurely moved its limbs, swimming towards the bottom.

This was Chu Chen’s first time personally experiencing the underwater world, and he felt a growing sense of curiosity.

The cold pool, indeed as the Cage described, was vast, with an internal space of over a thousand square meters.

Following Chu Chen’s suggestion, the Giant Power Water Capybara didn’t rush to the area with the heaviest cold but instead examined the areas around the cold pool.

The cold pool was crystal clear, with a palm-sized white fish and a transparent shrimp the size of a finger on its bed.

Sister Su seemed to recognize the origin of these two creatures and quickly had the Giant Power Water Capybara catch many.

Chu Chen couldn’t help but curiously ask in a low voice, "Sister Su, these fish and shrimp are not Star Beasts. Why catch them?"

"You don’t understand. These fish are called Cold Pool Ice Fish, with tasty meat and a special icy sensation when eaten, perfect for sashimi. These shrimps are Ice Crystal Shrimps, tender and sweet, also ideal for sashimi."

"Sister Su, do you have a knack for culinary arts?"

"Of course. You’re in for a treat. This is top-quality food, not even available for purchase. We should catch more. If we miss out, we’ll surely regret it." With that, she directed the Giant Power Water Capybara to start catching fish and shrimp.

Chu Chen wasn’t in a hurry either. It was a chance to relax, and the joy of catching fish and shrimp became a rare memory.

The fish and shrimp in the cold pool were limited, and the Giant Power Water Capybara spent just a quarter of an hour catching them all.

Sister Su seemed a bit unsatisfied, sighed, and said, "Let’s examine the area with the strong cold."

Chu Chen’s expression turned serious, and he nodded.

The Giant Power Water Capybara slowly swam towards the source of the cold air, fifty meters, thirty meters, ten meters.

Even at this close distance, the source of the cold air remained unresponsive.

However, Chu Chen still did not dare to be careless. He pointed to the mud at the bottom and said, "Sister Su, have the Giant Power Water Capybara attack there and be ready to escape at any time."

Sister Su nodded heavily, her gaze full of vigilance.

Under her command, the Giant Power Water Capybara shot a stream of water into the mud.

The water stream instantly cleared the mud, and a bright blue light shot from the bottom.

Too tense or afraid of the unknown, Sister Su immediately directed the Giant Power Water Capybara to flee upwards.

Upon escaping the cold pool, the two discovered the pool remained silent, as if nothing had happened.

The two waited quietly by the cold pool, but even after a quarter of an hour, nothing unusual occurred.

"Little brother, what is that light?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Chen frowned and said, "It’s uncertain, but I don’t think it’s a Star Beast."

Hearing this, Sister Su breathed a sigh of relief. If it wasn’t a Star Beast, there was nothing to fear.

"Could it be some treasure?"

"It’s hard to say. Shall we go back down and take a look?"

Sister Su nodded and once again directed the Giant Power Water Capybara to dive to the pool’s bottom.

It dared not get too close and released several streams of water to clear the mud surrounding the light.

It was only then that the two saw what was emitting the light.

It was a piece of jade stone, the size of a jade plate, deep blue.

The jade emitted a chilling cold that even made the Giant Power Water Capybara uncomfortable.

It shook its head as if to retreat.

Seeing this, Chu Chen channeled his Soul Power to his right hand, reached out, and grabbed the jade stone.

The jade stone was icy to the touch, and waves of cold surged through his palm into his body.

Chu Chen almost let go, but quickly took out a jade box and placed the stone inside.

"Sister Su, let’s go up fast."

Sister Su understood and quickly directed the Giant Water Capybara to rush out of the cold pool.

Chu Chen opened the jade box to examine the jade stone carefully.

Sister Su touched the stone with her finger and couldn’t help but shiver, her expression full of joy.

Seeing this, Chu Chen hurriedly asked, "Sister Su, do you recognize this object?"

Sister Su nodded, "This should be a piece of Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice, a middle-grade Earth Rank Heavenly and Earthly Treasure."

Hearing this, Chu Chen was shocked, incredulously confirming, "Is this true?"

"Ninety percent sure."
