The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Chapter 362 The Essence of Water Elements

Cloud Beasts are elemental creatures that have no physical form and exist purely in an energy state.

They lack both the awareness and the ability to retaliate.

Killing it is not difficult, but to obtain the essence of water element from its core while killing it, one cannot hunt it in the usual way.

The reason why the cloud beasts of the Valen continent are almost extinct is because the essence of water element is so useful.

Profit is the greatest motivation. The effective hunting methods for the Cloud Beasts passed down by Valen could fill a book.

The most common method is to use ice magic to freeze the Cloud Beast when it has finished raining and its body is dry, or when it is about to rain and its body is full of moisture.

These two moments are when the Cloud Beast is at its weakest.

Freeze it with ice magic, keeping it in its weakest state for a period of time, and it will collapse on its own.

But this cloud beast was too big; she didn't have any magic that could cover such a large cloud beast.

Moreover, Moran was reluctant to use this method.

Unlike other magical beasts, the Cloud Beast is on the verge of extinction.

Once such a large cloud beast is killed, it will be difficult to find again.

A living cloud beast is far more precious than a dead one.

Morand devised a way to obtain some water elemental essence without killing the cloud beast.

There are no precedents to follow.

She flew into the sky on her broomstick and spoke in telepathy, "Cloud Beast! Can I exchange some water elemental essence with you?"

Cloud Beast: "..."

No matter how Moran asked, the Cloud Beast didn't respond at all. It was unclear whether it was truly so unintelligent that it couldn't convey any meaning, or whether it simply didn't want to answer.

Moran thought for a moment, then switched to mind reading to try and read the cloud beast's inner thoughts.

Cloud Beast: "..."

Its heart was filled with silence, offering no response whatsoever.

The case is solved! The cloud beast simply lacks intelligence and is unable to communicate.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have failed to gain anything even from mind reading.

However, it is not without consciousness, otherwise it would not be classified as an elemental being.

If one lacks wisdom, it means that one's mental strength is relatively low, but one still has a certain degree of intuitive awareness. So, wouldn't bewitchment and hypnosis be very effective?

Moran tried, but failed again.

The Cloud Beast's consciousness had become so dulled that it could no longer respond to requests from friendly and amicable units.

Moran tried many kinds of magic, but none of them worked.

Finally, recalling the process of condensing water droplets during his magical waterbed training, he gave up and charged at the cloud beast.

Moran was somewhat incredulous as he watched a drop of water elemental essence float from the Cloud Beast's body.

Is that really possible?

"Dean! Did you know your magic waterbed could do this?"

If everyone could live and collect the essence of water from the Cloud Beast, how could the Cloud Beast be on the verge of extinction!
"I know. I'm the one who caught this cloud beast."

"..."

"You actually knew that?" Moran said with dissatisfaction. "Dean, your after-sales service for magic is terrible! You didn't even explain the application scope of the magic waterbed. How could you not mention such an important use?"

"That's another price."

Moran: "..."

She really learned a lot from "Blue Star Business Handbook".

Wait, when she finished compiling the "Blue Star Business Handbook," did Ms. Amisa sell her the magic waterbed?
She's just a shrewd businesswoman!

After a while, a similar voice broke the silence: "That was the real body just now!" So that's how it is. Moran was wondering why Ms. Amisa was so difficult to deal with today. It turns out that she was the real body with the most complete abilities and memories!

She summoned the Book of Cards and let the drop of essence card float over and be placed inside as a card-making material.

Soon the Book of Cards will be able to create the {Water Elemental Essence Card}.

This stuff will surely drive alchemists of all races mad.

Speaking of which, the essence of water can enhance the effects of potions, so would it have any effect on magical waterbeds?

If we can use the water-condensing techniques of the magic waterbed to collect the essence of water elements, then maybe it really is possible.

It's not a big problem to give it a try. If it fails, just remove the water element essence from the magic waterbed.

Thinking of this, Moran used the Magic Waterbed Condensation Technique on the Cloud Beast again.

When that drop of water element essence was collected before, it wasn't very noticeable.

When Moran collected another drop of water elemental essence, she clearly noticed that the cloud beast had shrunk considerably.

The sky, which was originally a boundless expanse of pale white clouds, now reveals a different color in the distance.

It seems that even such a large cloud beast cannot collect more than a few drops of water element essence.

Fortunately, she had already mastered the method of creating the {Water Elemental Essence Card} from her card book.

Moran infused this drop of water elemental essence, just like every drop of water he had ever condensed before, into the waterbed.

Even though it was only one drop, it made the waterbed appear much larger.

It's equivalent to the accumulation of hundreds or thousands of water droplets in the past!

She couldn't help but complain again: "How could you not tell me about such a good thing, Dean!"

Fortunately, she discovered it; otherwise, she doesn't know how many detours she would have taken while training on the magic waterbed.

"..."

"Only you could be so extravagant as to use the essence of water to accelerate your training on the magical waterbed."

Ms. Amisa assured that she had no idea that the magic waterbed could be used for training in this way.

Even if she discovered it, she wouldn't be willing to do it.

She has plenty of time, but the essence of water is scarce.

Thinking of the two drops of water elemental essence that Moran had taken, Amisha couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache:
"Stop fleecing me, this cloud beast, and go wreak havoc on other magical beasts!"

Who would have thought that she would recognize such an obscure and endangered magical beast?

Moran belatedly realized that the cloud beast was captured by Ms. Amisa and brought into the academy, so does that mean she was raising it?
No, cloud beasts don't need to be fed. Give them a patch of sky, and they can live on their own.

"Dean, would you like the {Water Element Essence} card?" Moran asked.

"Go away, who needs your two drops of water element essence?"

Amisha may have felt the pinch, but since she placed the Cloud Beast here, it already belonged to the academy.

She wouldn't break the rules of the survival trial in the outer area of ​​the academy for just two drops of water elemental essence.

"Just don't kill the Cloud Beast. This might be Valen's last Cloud Beast."

Moran only needed a little water elemental essence, so he didn't attack the cloud beast any further.

"Squeak! Pack your things and get ready to leave!"

Moran landed back near the tent and put away the spatial tent and magic circle.

It will take a long time for the Cloud Beast to fully absorb the moisture. During this time, the area covered by the Cloud Beast will enjoy sunny weather, which is perfect for setting off.

"The divination results for each direction are pretty much the same. Squeak, you choose a direction!"

"Squeak!" Here!
"okay!"
