Chapter 438
438 The strongest snail
Link entered the secret chamber and immediately saw the glowing green crystal on the table.
Before link even got close, something that he couldn’t tell if it was a buff or a debuff appeared on his body.
[ light of tranquility: nullifies all critical hits within 50 meters. nullifies all additional buffs (level 60 restriction) ]
Link moved closer. A moment later, the information appeared before his eyes.
[ sleeping crystal ]
[ quality: light purple ]
[ description: the green light that can make all living things peaceful may have other uses ]
After reading the information, link clenched his fists.”Dormant crystal, there’s no mistake!”
Link’s lips curled into a smile. With this, his future plans against Dragon City would be in the bag.
When he was watching the video shot by the macaw, link had a feeling that the green light would calm the wild animals. It had the same effects as the dormant crystal mentioned on the forums in his previous life. When he went to the secret room to check, he confirmed that it was indeed this thing.
Previously, it was said that Dragon City was attacked by the beast tide all year round, and hundreds of millions of people had to pay a price to resist the beast tide every year.
In the storyline of his previous life, the players followed the guidance of another Druid sect, nature’s Alliance, and searched the entire wasteland planet for a ‘sleeping crystal’ that could restore the berserk beasts to normal. In the end, they found this crystal in an Eagle’s Nest on a dangerous mountain called the ‘mountain corridor’. In the end, it helped Dragon City resist the beast tide and permanently solved the disaster of the beast tide.
However, he did not expect that Fu would find this treasure in the Gobi oasis in this life because of the butterfly effect.
Link picked up the sleeping crystal and studied it carefully. In the center of the crystal was a ball of green Elvish energy flowing. The light was uneven, but under the restraint of the crystal, it emitted a stable and gentle light.
With the dormant crystal in hand, he would have the space to perform when the Dragon City beast tide came next year. It must be known that because of the years of fighting against the beast tide, many supers and middle-rank people in Dragon City were already full of complaints and had signs of mental fatigue. According to the plot in his previous life, there would be many people who would choose to leave Dragon City after fighting the beast tide.
At that time, he would hold the dormant crystal in his hand, raise his arms and shout, and his followers would gather.
He would be able to permanently solve the threat to Dragon City, earn a wave of good feelings, and attract a wave of popularity.
Link placed the hibernation crystal on the soft cloth and sighed.
In his previous life, Fu had easily found the treasure that countless players had been searching for.
It could not have been produced in the Gobi, nor could it have been brought there by the Druids of the moon Shadow Council. It could only have been brought over by hundreds of thousands of wild animals, which had appeared in the Oasis forest by chance.
“Fu’s luck is really unparalleled.” Link wrapped the sleeping crystal in a soft cloth and carefully placed it in a sandalwood treasure box.
The sleeping crystal alone was not interesting enough. Link thought about synthesizing the sleeping crystal with living creatures before he went to Dragon City next year to maximize its effects. There were still many obstacles to entering the core of the monster horde with only the light of tranquility within a 50-meter radius.
Just as link stepped out of the secret chamber, he saw the macaw yawning as it walked out of the room in its dinosaur pajamas.
The macaw’s eyes were still blurry. When it saw link, it was stunned.”Have you seen the green crystal?” The macaw didn’t know the true use of the sleeping crystal. It only saw it emitting green light, so it gave it the name green crystal.
“En, I’ve already seen it. You guys did a good job in this mission.” Link was not stingy with his compliments.
The macaw didn’t have time to complain and was hit by another yawn. It waved its hand and said, ” “In short, this wave of missions was also full of danger. I stayed up late at night before coming back, so I’m going back to sleep. oh, by the way, fu is sleeping in the guest room next door.”
After saying that, the macaw turned around and dragged the tail of the little dinosaur pajamas back to its room to sleep.
Link then went to Ah Fu’s room.
As soon as he entered the room, he saw that Ah Fu had already gotten up and was tidying up.
“Boss, I was just about to report to you!” when ah fu saw link enter, he quickened his pace and quickly shook his coat to put it on.
however, with this shake, something similar to a cobblestone appeared on his clothes and fell to the ground.
Link bent down and picked it up. The cobblestone had a concave and convex surface. It was about five centimeters in diameter, and there was a circle that kept moving inwards. It was like the golden spiral formed by the Fibonacci number series. It felt like carbonate or chitin to the touch. It was not a colorful cobblestone, but a snail’s shell.
just as link was fiddling with it, a milky-white body slowly crawled out of the snail’s shell. it carried the huge ” house ” and squirmed in link’s palm.
fu scratched his head and suddenly reacted.”I think I dropped it on my body when I was in the Oasis forest.”
Link’s ” first beast awareness ” skill didn’t have an illustration of this snail, so he didn’t know what species it was or what abilities it had.
However, this snail was different from the other snails he had seen. It was not as timid as the others. It couldn’t escape Link’s palm after squirming for a long time, so it stopped. The pair of feelers on its head sniffed around in the air, feeling the unfamiliarity of the new environment.
The colorful snail’s feelers were aimed at link. The next second, link suddenly felt a weak energy impact. At first, he thought it was an illusion, but the system’s prompt became solid.
[ an unknown snail has launched a mental attack on you. You have 145 energy points, so you are immune to this attack. ]
A snail, a spiritual attack?
Link’s eyes widened as he looked at the snail in his hand.
[ Name: Unknown snail ]
[ grade: unknown ]
[ race: mollusk ]
[ level: 1 ]
[ HP: 50/50 ]
[ energy: 40/50 ]
[ skill: spiritual assault, other unknown ]
[ description: this is a snail with thoughts. ]

Because Link’s [ first beast awareness ] skill did not have an illustration of this creature, he could not see through all of the snail’s abilities despite the level difference of more than 50 levels.
[ initial beast awareness ] was a specialty that included basic creatures and a small number of mutated creatures that were common on wasteland planet. there were thousands of them. Creatures that were not listed in the illustrated book were rare.
For a small snail to be able to use an ability like “mental attack,” it was indeed extraordinary.
Link’s interest was piqued. Ah Fu, help me find a box. Put some soil and green plants in it. I have to raise this little thing.
Although the energy of this snail was weak, it was a mollusk, and its growth rate was extremely fast. If there were tens of thousands of colorful snails using energy at the same time, the power would be no less than that of a telekinesis super.
Fu quickly got to work and found a closed fish tank of more than 30 centimeters in the utility room of the castle. After washing it, he dug up fresh soil and grass in the garden to make a new nest for the snail.
Link put the snail into the fish tank. There was a valve above the closed fish tank for sending oxygen so that the oxygen level in the fish tank was constantly monitored. Fu also took into account the snail’s food situation and threw in some fresh fruits to ensure that it had enough food.
“Boss, where should I put this fish tank?”
Link thought for a moment. If he left it in the office, other pets might play with it and accidentally kill it. So he said,”Let’s just put it in the secret room.”
Other than link, only Fu and the macaw knew the secret room’s password and could enter.
compared to others, these two were quite reliable. they knew what could be moved and what could not be moved.
“If you’re still sleeping, sleep a little longer.” Link said as he and Fu came out.
Fu, however, insisted on refusing, saying that he had to go back to the animal arena to take a look.
After Fu left, link turned towards the God Tree Nohi and went to the deep forest where the ancient tree of knowledge was.
He was looking for the ancient tree of knowledge to learn [ advanced creature knowledge ].
Before this, link had thought that the [ initial beast awareness ] skill was enough. The initial beast could control 80 to 90% of the wild beasts on wasteland planet. The remaining elite and commander-level creatures could also be made up for through battle or the memories of his previous life. But this time, Fu shook out a small snail with spiritual energy, which changed Link’s opinion.
these small snails had very low hp and could be killed with one shot. with link’s attack power, he could kill them instantly, so there was no way to know their attributes in detail through the battle. There was no way to detect it, and there was no way to obtain detailed information through battle. In order to understand this creature, link had to go to the God Tree Nohi to find the ancient knowledge Tree and complete his beast knowledge.
As the Lord of the tree of God, Link’s way of learning was simple. He simply used the ancient tree of knowledge to fill his brain with all the magical creatures that the moon Shadow Council had mastered.
On the specialty interface, [ basic beast knowledge ] was replaced by [ advanced biological knowledge ].
[ advanced biological knowledge: you have mastered the basic information of 98% of the living creatures on wasteland planet. You can also communicate with regular beasts. ]
When link returned to the secret room in the castle with his [ realm creature knowledge ], he finally saw the unknown snail’s data.
[ name: mutant snail ]
[ quality: blue ]
[ race: mollusk ]
[ level: 1 ]
[ HP: 50/50 ]
[ energy: 40/50 ]
[ skills: mental assault, signal transmission, mental link ]
[ description: mutated snail after nuclear radiation, greatly enhanced spiritual energy ]

Lin Ke began his experiment on the mutant snail in the tank.
He already knew the effect of ” mental shock. the mutant snail had been mutated by radiation and produced a high mental power that was different from normal snails. It had also mastered the ability to use its mental power to attack the enemy. The increase in mental power had also changed the way the mutant snails communicated.
Although link had mastered the [ advanced biological knowledge ] and could communicate with regular creatures in the beast language, this obviously did not include the mutant snail that was sending out signals.
Link took out a signal receiver and quickly detected that the snail’s signal was a radio wave signal.
Link received the signal, but he couldn’t decipher it.
if Troy enters the data center now, he can definitely analyze the content of the signal with his powerful algorithms and cryptography.
After putting away the receiver, link took out the spirit crown from his equipment storage. He activated [ spirit magnetic field-increase ] to increase his spiritual power and tried to communicate with the mutated snail.
Link’s psychic power enveloped the mutant snail completely. However, the next second, he realized that he had formed a mental link with the snail.
After the mental link, the ” Communication ” between the two had transcended language. As long as a thought appeared in their minds, the other party would receive it accurately.
Even though link was a hundred times bigger than the mutant snail, he did not underestimate it.
After a brief exchange, link finally understood the origins of the mutant snail.
it turned out that these snails were a kind of large snails. no one knew when they had been mutated by nuclear radiation, but they had gradually awakened a strong mental power. after decades of natural selection, the snails with strong mental power all survived and mastered the three skills of mental shock, signal transmission, and mental link.
From the mutant snail, Lin Ke also found out the effects of the three skills.
Mental assault was the release of mental concentration. First, one would use their cute and simple appearance to pass the test, and then immediately release mental assault when the enemy was careless and not paying attention, severely injuring the enemy.
The signal transmission was the enhancement ability of the ” golden spiral ” of the mutant snail’s shell. It could send out a mental energy simulated radio wave signal, which could be used to contact other snails nearby and send out a distress call.
There was no need to explain the spiritual link. It was a spiritual link that could be established with creatures with high spiritual power, allowing communication that was beyond words and language.
The mutant snail seemed to be a small and harmless creature, but in fact, it had evolved into a highly intelligent species due to the radiation.
The reason why the mutated snails appeared in the Oasis was that they had attached themselves to other beasts and were brought here after a long journey.
“The entire Gobi oasis is mine, but it’s still filled with all kinds of dangers. It’s a great obstacle to your clan’s life and reproduction. However, my Castle Garden is perfect for you to live in. At the same time, I can introduce you to some other mollusk creatures, Qingqing.”
As link spoke, he brought over a few blood slugs that had their own living room. They were perfect for the job.
When the blood slug and the mutated snail were together, the two sides resumed probing each other with their antennae.
after communicating with mi he, the mutant snail was surprised to find out that blood slugs had the ability to transfuse blood. this was great news for the mutant snail family, and they were basically a blood supply station for everyone. He immediately decided to bring all the mutant snails to join them.
before that, I’ve decided to modify you a little based on your abilities.
Link looked at the mutated snail and then at the purple material [ purple encrypted frequency signal device ] on the shelf in the room.
There was nothing more suitable than this material for the synthesis of mutated snails.
