Angel also recalled that the fire element creatures sent out by Mr. Magu to distribute the shadow boxes this time were almost all of the flying variety, and this frog was obviously not one of them.
Additionally, since Dangross didn’t recognize it, there was a high chance it wasn’t an elemental creature from the Region of Fire.
"Although I don’t recognize this frog, this water element creature has a very annoying scent, and I think there’s a good chance it’s from the Malaya Ice Mountain." Dangross looked angrily at the raccoon on the lake, "It’s unconscious now. Why don’t we just..."
Before Dangross could finish speaking, a light blue Hand of Magic grabbed Dangross up from the ground.
"It didn’t provoke you, so why are you attacking it? Besides, this isn’t the Region of Fire; it’s a nameless place where all elemental creatures can tread. Aren’t you overstepping your boundaries?" Angel gently shook Dangross with the Hand of Magic.
"It may not have provoked me, but it injured the frog. As a fellow fire element creature, I must stand up for my kin when they are bullied." With that, Dangross struggled to break free from the restraint of the Hand of Magic, but the Hand held it securely and was immune to fire, rendering Dangross’s efforts completely futile.
Angel said: "That water element creature might not be from the Malaya Ice Mountain. If you mistakenly kill it, are you trying to invite new enmity to the Region of Fire?"
"I’m not." Hearing this, Dangross’s eyes flickered. It felt that Angel seemed to have a point. So, although it continued to struggle, its movements were much smaller than before.
"Alright, be good." Angel patted Dangross’s hand, speaking in a gentle tone.
Perhaps the soft tone calmed Dangross’s restless heart, and it gradually stopped struggling, quietly resting on the Hand of Magic.
Seeing Dangross had calmed down, Angel didn’t bother with it anymore and instead summoned two more Hands of Magic, bringing both the raccoon and the frog to him.
Angel said to Dangross: "I’ll check the condition of this raccoon, and you go check on this frog to see how it’s injured."
Faced with the life and death of a kin, Dangross no longer felt awkward and jumped onto the frog’s belly, extending its index finger to touch the frog’s mouth, sensing the situation inside the frog.
Angel also approached the raccoon, channeling spiritual power into its body to examine its condition.
Not long into the examination, Angel heard Dangross let out an "Eh?"
"This frog’s belly is full of gemstones!"
Angel turned his head and saw Dangross continuously pulling out various sparkling gemstones from the frog’s belly. Some of these gemstones clearly had elemental properties and emitted a faint glow, appearing dazzling under the sunshine.
"There are even water element gemstones in here? Elemental creatures, even if they swallow gemstones, shouldn’t swallow non-aligned gemstones." Angel pondered for a moment: "Looks like this fellow has a hobby of collecting gemstones? This behavior is very familiar, just like the hobby of dragons in stories?"
Angel shook his head, not thinking much of it, and continued to examine the raccoon’s condition.
However, at this moment, Dangross exclaimed once again: "I think I know what this frog is now!"
Angel turned around: "What, now you recognize it?"
Dangross shook its head: "I still don’t recognize it, but I know its category, it’s a Traveling Frog!"
A Traveling Frog? Dangross’s words reminded Angel of a small Flame Frog he once saw in the Region of Fire. At that time, Dangross mentioned that Flame Frogs would become Traveling Frogs when they grew up, spending their lives on the road and bringing back many bright... dazzling gemstones from the outside.
This fire-red frog appeared in a nameless place, and with a belly full of various gemstones, it indeed had the traits of a Traveling Frog.
"Wonderful, it’s actually a Traveling Frog. If I save it, when it travels outside, it might bring back all kinds of gemstones for me." Dangross’s eyes lit up, more intent on saving the fire-red frog.
But Angel had no time for Dangross’s flights of fancy, as he had already sensed the elemental core inside the raccoon.
Located inside the raccoon’s tail was a crystal that resembled a droplet of water.
Currently, the surface of this water droplet crystal was covered with cracks, and as time went on, more and more cracks appeared...
Five minutes later, Dangross dejectedly lifted its head: "Mr. Pat, the elemental core inside this Traveling Frog, it, it..."
Angel: "Broken?"
"Not broken, but it has so many cracks that it’s almost no different from being broken." Dangross lowered its head sadly: "This isn’t the Region of Fire; there isn’t a suitable environment or flame creatures like Mr. Magu here to heal it at all."
In other words, this Traveling Frog was essentially unsalvageable, and Dangross’s dream of effortlessly acquiring gemstones was also shattered.
"This raccoon, its elemental core, like the Traveling Frog’s, has also developed cracks." Angel then described the raccoon’s condition: "It seems their battle was intense, ultimately leading to mutual destruction."
Hearing that the raccoon’s elemental core also developed cracks, Dangross was initially happy, but was then downcast again upon remembering the Traveling Frog’s elemental core: "So what should we do now? Why don’t I dig a pit here as a grave?"
Angel: "We haven’t reached that point; there is still hope for their restoration."
"They can still be restored?"
In Dangross’s puzzled eyes, Angel squatted down and, among the pile of gemstones from the Traveling Frog, picked out a few reddish Flame Gemstones and several bluish Water Gemstones.
Angel: "With these."
"Though these gemstones contain elemental power, they’re not pure, and not potent enough to restore the Traveling Frog." Having collected gemstones before, Dangross naturally knew their quality.
"Then you’re using them wrong." Angel winked at Dangross: "Watch me."
As Angel spoke, he retrieved two pieces of Transparent Magic Glaze from his bracelet, which he swiftly refined into two transparent Glazed Boxes with a touch of fire.
Then, Angel took out the engraving pen and Blood Ink, quickly drawing the corresponding Magic Patterns on the Glazed Boxes.
On one side was Pure Water, and on the other was Burn.
Both of these Magic Patterns could generate dense elemental energy within the Glazed Box, although the corresponding energy sources were required as consumables.
And the Elemental Gems Angel had brought out could be used as energy sources.
These Magic Patterns weren’t difficult, and since they were drawn in a relatively spacious area, precision wasn’t a concern. It only took half an hour to complete the patterns.
After finishing the patterns, Angel embedded several gemstones into each Glazed Box.
As energy currents began to form within the Glazed Boxes, the task was completed.
