Chapter 1083: Location Of The Gui Clan And A Snail
“Finally…” Lin Wu looked at the notification that had just popped up.
He had been searching for the Gui clan for a while now and had little luck. Even with the help of the system searching constantly, they were nowhere closer than they were a month ago.
But today, something seemed to have happened causing the system to finally detect where they were.
“Where are they system?” Lin Wu questioned.
~DING~
——
MAP: Updated!
Notification: Adding new marker on map
Notification: Charting new route to the Gui Clan
——
Lin Wu watched as the map window opened in front of him. On it, he saw his own position first which then zoomed out and showed the new marker west of where he was right now.
“Huh… haven’t we been there before?” Lin Wu recalled. “High Spine Glacier.” He read the other marker that was present.
The older marker coincided with the location of the Gui Clan.
“So that’s where they were hiding.” Lin Wu narrowed his eyes. “But how did you not detect it till now system?” he asked.
~DING~
——
ANSWER: The protective measures of the Gui Clan were lifted momentarily and several data streams were received by them. The system traced these data streams which had come from Gui Clan members previously marked by the host and determined it from that.
——
“So they finally decided to take a look outside huh. Time for us to pay a visit then.” Lin Wu said with a smile. “Tim!” He called out.
~RUMBLE~
The ground shook for a few seconds, before it burst part.
~KREEE~
Tim rose out of the ground, carrying a beast corpse in his mouth.
“What did you dig out?” Lin Wu glanced at the beast that looked like a Snail of some kind. “A snail?” he was surprised.
“It was deep in the ground. There’s a lake there.” Tim answered.
“Hmm, must be a cavern filled by the melted snow over time.” Lin Wu muttered before taking a deep look at the Snail.
He was certain that he hadn’t seen this beast before. It had a deep blue shell and exuded faint spirit Qi fluctuations even now. Not to mention, it had a chilly air surrounding it that froze anything that it touched.
Even Tim’s body had a thin layer of Frost covering it.
Of course, it wasn’t enough to affect him, but it showed the snail wasn’t weak.
“System, scan it.” Lin Wu ordered.
~DING~
——
SCANNER: Activated
Scanning: please wait
——
Lin Wu used his own Immortal sense to check up on the cultivation base of the dead snail and discovered that it was actually a Dao Treading Realm beast.
“Interesting… It has a very strong chill inside it too… Water elemental Dao Embryo as well.” Lin Wu looked through all the secrets of the beast as if they were laid bare.
And a few seconds later, the system finished its work as well, unraveling the identity of the beast.
~DING~
——
SCAN: Completed!
TARGET: Identified!
—
Target: Glacial Shell Snail Queen (Juvenile)
Info: This is beast that is close to turning into an adult Glacial Shell Snail Queen. They are strong water elemental beasts that also have a natural chill within their bodies. Upon turning into an Adult, the Glacial Shell Snail Queen can lay millions of eggs.
All of these eggs would hatch into more Glacial Shell Snails which would then be able to rule over an entire polar ice cap of a world. They live under ice and often stay hidden for thousands of years, only getting discovered when the ice sheets shift.
——
“My, my, didn’t expect to find something like this here” Lin Wu knew this was a great find and would help in his growth as well as progress. “You did well Tim.” He gave credit.
“We eat?” Tim asked.
“We will eat.” Lin Wu nodded.
There was no way he would wait in eating a beast that would strengthen him further.
Lin Wu quickly cracked open the shell of the Glacial Shell Snail, and split the meat with Tim. Of course, he took the major part of the meat and also chose to eat the shell which would be inedible to others but good for him.
And once Lin Wu finished eating it, he felt the change in his body. The properties of the Glacial Shell Snail were being adapted by him and the system soon updated him about it.
~DING~

“Huh, that one snail was enough to increases to 60%? That’s almost twice of what I had before this.” Lin Wu was impressed.
This only meant that he control over water element and resistance to it would improve.
‘Considering the Gui Clan is of the Water Element, this is bound to come in handy.’ Lin Wu thought to himself.
It was favorable to him, and prepared him for the conflict.
“Well then. Lets pay a visit to the Gui Clan, shall we?” Lin Wu said while Tim finished licking the remnants of the flesh from his claws.
~WHOOSH~
Lin Wu flew in the direction of the Gui clan and Tim followed behind him. The place was to the west, and it took them a few hours to arrive there.
But now the Gui Clan had already been rushing and getting ready for the incoming war against the Calamity Fiend.
They were greatly worried, not knowing that a ‘Guardian’ was coming to save them.
