[Target for detection: The Ice Skull Man (Mysterious) (Dead)]

[The body of an Ice Skull user who had been dead for some time. However, the toxins remaining in its body have not yet been completely neutralized.]

Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow as he looked at the gray text. However, compared to the manual issued by the Frostraven Knights, this Ice Skull user was on the smaller side. The Frostraven Knights' manual described Ice Skull users as being much larger.

Lu Yuan opened the manual and compared it with the previous Ice Skull user. The manual stated:

[The Ice Skull]

Risk level: High risk

Appearance: Humanoid, about half a head taller than an adult, with grayish-white skin, resembling a frozen corpse. The head is larger than normal, and the facial flesh is completely frozen together, making facial features unrecognizable. The fingers are slender, with blackened nails containing trace amounts of toxins.

Habitat: Deep in the ice field, in areas with heavy snow and wind, especially in places where people have died or near abandoned camps.

Habits: Eats any living thing. Because humans have a higher calorie content, it is especially fond of humans.

Note: On the icy plains, nothing is more patient than him. Once he sets his sights on you, you will face a chase that will last for days and nights.

Countermeasures: First, avoid venturing deep into the ice field as much as possible, as it is fraught with danger. Second, you can use torches to briefly scare it away. Finally, this creature doesn't know its way around, and if you run fast enough, you can theoretically disorient it in the snow.

"Did you all see clearly?" The Frostraven Knight looked at the crowd and said, "The Ice Skull is essentially a bizarre creature transformed from a human. If you die mysteriously in the snow, you might be assimilated by it, or your corpse might become a new Ice Skull. However, the specific mechanism behind this is not confirmed. You can look at its feet."

Following the Frostraven Knight's words, everyone looked at the feet of the thing in the coffin.

Its feet are oval-shaped, with claw-like structures splitting at the front to help it walk better on snow and hard ground.

Its body is almost frozen solid, so try to avoid close combat with it, as it is extremely tough.

Furthermore, its fingers carry some kind of toxin, so if you engage in close combat with it, unless you have the strength to completely overwhelm it, you are very likely to be worn down and killed by it.

This thing will also retain some of the combat experience the corpse had before it died.

"There's one last thing," the Frostwolf Knight paused, "This thing's head can fly out."

Upon hearing this, everyone gasped in disbelief, looking at the Frostraven Knight with expressions of utter astonishment. "Really?"

Firstly, some students, as natives of the North, had heard of the Iceheads to some extent, though not in as much detail as the illustrated manuals distributed by the Frostraven Knights.

Secondly, no one had ever heard of the Ice Skull user's head flying off, and it wasn't mentioned in the manual.

The Frostwolf Knight noticed everyone's confusion and said with a hint of helplessness:

"This is something I just discovered recently. Someone mentioned before that the heads of Ice Skull users can detach from their original bodies and fly off directly."

"I was skeptical, but considering that if it really had that ability, anyone who had seen its head fly away would probably be dead by now, I took a group of people to the snowy mountains of the North for a while to investigate. And I actually saw it."

"At crucial moments, it can abandon its current physical body and allow its head to make a short leap. Its head will split open completely from below, enveloping your head, devouring it, and directly transforming you into a new Ice Skull user. However, this situation is extremely rare. If I hadn't seen it myself, I would have doubted whether I was seeing things."

"Finally," the Frostwolf Knight tapped the cabinet behind him, "this one."

A commotion arose in the crowd, but the Frostraven Knight raised his hand and gestured for people to calm down.

"So, if you do encounter an Ice Skuller in the snowy north, be very careful when you're about to kill it. Because even now, I still don't know if this skill is possessed by all Ice Skullers, or only by some of them."

Everyone nodded in agreement. The Frostwolf Knight continued:

"I'm not saying this to tell you about any hidden abilities it has, but rather to warn you to be extremely careful when facing any strange or polluting source. Because you never know if this thing might evolve other abilities."

Everyone indicated that they understood.

Besides the Ice Skull, the manual also includes descriptions of the Frost Death, Snow-Faced Wolf, Ghost Snow Owl, and Frost Spider.

There were no samples of the Frost Undead and the Snow Wolf, so the Frost Raven Knight only gave a brief overview. The Frost Undead were ranked higher, while the Snow Wolf was ranked lower.

However, the Snow Owl and Frost Spider, the Frost Raven Knight had prepared special items for them.

Let's start with the Snowy Owl.

【Snowy Owl】

Risk level: Low

Appearance: A giant bird with a human-like face, about the length of a person, and with a wingspan about the height of a person.

Habitat: Deep in the snowfield.

Habits: Hunts at night, prefers to eat small live animals, and almost never attacks humans.

Solution: It's very simple; just grab any sharp tool and you can solve the problem.

The Frostraven Knight raised his hand, and a young Snowy Owl fluttered over from the corner of the room and landed on his shoulder.

This guy looks quite cute, with fluffy feathers and round eyes. He even made a few soft chirps, which sounded quite human.

The students immediately crowded around it, and many of them even reached out to tease it.

But the cub was clearly resisting; it gripped the Frostwolf Knight's shoulder with its claws, leaned backward, flapped its little wings, and almost lost its balance.

Someone couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Alright, stop teasing it," the Frostraven Knight continued. "This guy is still a juvenile; he's a long way from becoming a fully grown Snowowl."

"Don't let the fact that the Snowy Owl is considered low-dangerous and seemingly unapproachable fool you. In fact, many people in the North choose to raise Snowy Owls from a young age, intending for them to become hunters in the future. This is a tradition in some parts of the North."

"Will this thing really listen to humans when it grows up?" one student couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, of course." The Frostraven Knight nodded. "The intelligence of Snow Owls, once they reach adulthood, far surpasses that of children. They can not only understand commands, but they can even understand human speech."

Let's talk about the Frost Spider.

Frost Spider

Risk level: No risk

Appearance: Palm-sized, grayish-blue, with slender legs and white hair that can be seen even in the snow.

Habitat: Mostly rock crevices, dead trees, or ruins; you can tell where it hides by looking at its silk threads.

Habits: It eats anything—live, dead, rotten leaves—and is not picky about food. This means it is very easy to deal with; any bait can lure it out.

Solution: It's simple, just set it on fire.

The Frostraven Knight pulled a live Frost Spider from somewhere inside his clothes.

However, compared to the Snow Owl, the Frost Spider has a much smaller audience, and some people couldn't help but back off.

Clearly, whether one becomes an extraordinary being or not, the instinctive aversion to such small things remains unchanged.

Lu Yuan didn't put the manual away until the end of get out of class.

However, the manual was not given directly to Lu Yuan; it had to be returned to its original place.

Because the paper used in the record book is a relatively scarce material.

Only those who attend class are eligible to watch.

Furthermore, Lu Yuan recalled that on the original list of suggestions, strange ecology was listed first in the knowledge category, supposedly to prepare for future missions. Now it seemed that the suggestion was indeed well-founded.
