Witcher: I Can Extract Everything Chapter 299 - Iceland

Chapter 299 Iceland
Splash! A huge turtle jumped out of the water.
Heath sat on the back of the turtle and looked at the island in front of him.
The island was not big. It was about a few thousand meters in size. It was a small white island. From afar, it looked like it was covered with a layer of white paint.
When he got closer, he could see that the white was actually snow, covering the entire island.
The temperature was not low, but the island looked like a world of ice and snow. The wind and snow came from above the island. There was a layer of dark clouds floating there, and snow was falling down from the dark clouds. It was very strange. “Thank you, Brother Turtle!”
When he came to the shallows, Heath jumped off the turtle and then released his mental control over the turtle.
The turtle, who had regained its consciousness, was obviously shocked. It hurriedly patted the sand and fled back into the sea.
After bidding farewell to the turtle, Heath walked to the island.
“This snow…”
The first time he went to the island, Heath felt an unusual chill.
As a Grand Knight, his physical fitness had reached a terrifying number. In theory, he wouldn’t feel much even if he was in a few degrees below zero or if he jumped into the ice water.
However, as the wind and snow fell on his body, Heath clearly felt a chill. Upon careful observation, layers of ice flowers were frozen on his skin. “Such high ice elemental damage…” Heath hurriedly took out a cloak from his interspatial ring. It was a gray cloak. The cloak was branded with fiery red patterns, like dancing flames.
This was the (Flaming Cloak). Heath had used the materials he got from Aramsted when he was bored to make a Wizard tool. He used the elemental fire element that he was most familiar with
The cloak contained an abundance of fire energy. It was originally used to increase the bonus when casting fire spells. However, under such circumstances, it was just enough to offset the damage from the falling ice.
“Aisi!”
After putting on the cloak, Heath softly chanted a syllable. The flame runes on the cloak immediately lit up simultaneously. Immediately after, a warm feeling surged out from the cloak and quickly enveloped his entire body. The cold that was originally there quickly disappeared.
“This is much more comfortable!”
With a sigh of admiration, Heath put on the cloak and walked towards the depths of the island.
It was not much different from the large number of islands in the sea before. This was a small white island. In the depths of the ice and snow world, all that could be seen was pure white snow. The treetops, grass, and roads were already covered in a thick layer of snow. With a single step, it was almost knee-high.
There were also many plants growing on the island, but most of them were of the ice element. The Frost Flower, Frozen Grass, Cold Fruit, and so on were all substances that only grew in places where the ice element was extremely dense.
After seeing these substances, Heath’s eyes could not help but light up.
“Good stuff!”
These materials were all substances that could only be produced when the ice element reached a certain level of density. Regardless of how much they were worth, they were definitely very rare materials on the market. More importantly, Heath had never extracted these materials before.
He waved his right hand, and a Frost Flower was quickly pulled into his hand.
‘Extract.’
As soon as he finished speaking, a series of electronic notifications sounded in Heath’s ears.
[Beep, extraction successful. Spiritual Power +0.03] [Beep, extraction successful. Soul Energy +13]
(Beep, extraction successful. Ice Element Affinity +2%]
Heath’s eyes lit up.
“Element affinity!”
The last time he obtained an element affinity was when he was an Apprentice. He had taken part in the tournament and obtained the Holy Spirit Flower. Although he had obtained countless materials over the years… There was really nothing that could increase his affinity. “I can’t believe that there would be such an unexpected harvest in the Golden Islands this time!”
Heath was extremely happy.
Although 2% ice affinity was not much, it could be considered as an entry point. In the future, learning ice spells would be a little easier than before.
Wizards divided elemental affinity into ten levels. 1 point was the lowest and 10 points were the highest. Heath’s highest affinity was in the direction of fire, which exceeded 7 points. It was also his major element.
‘Let’s see if other materials can be extracted.’
With this experience in mind, Heath immediately searched for various ice materials in the surroundings. As expected, he quickly extracted the affinity of ice elements from a Cold Fruit.
‘It seems that elemental affinity can only be extracted from materials with a high concentration of certain elements…’
Through this verification, Heath could roughly understand the conditions for extracting elemental affinity. He could not help but secretly plan in his heart to collect more high concentration substances that targeted a single element in the future to increase elemental affinity. For example, high fire elemental substances could increase the affinity of fire elements, or even max it out…
As he silently planned in his heart, Heath continued to extract all the way in.
Most of the materials on the island were extremely rare outside, and it was impossible for Heath to extract them. Therefore, the system was constantly ringing throughout the island, a large number of attributes could be retrieved at any time and place.
As he walked and stopped, Heath soon arrived at the center of the island. After arriving here, some strange scenery quickly attracted his attention.
“Ice sculptures?”
In the depths of the forest, there were ice sculptures. They were all human-shaped sculptures, most of them wearing cloaks. They looked like Wizards like Heath. He didn’t know which master had created these ice sculptures. Their expressions were so vivid that they looked like real people at first glance. Well… Wait… Wait.
Suddenly, Heath seemed to have discovered something. He moved closer to the ice sculptures and realized that these ice sculptures were not sculpted at all. Instead, they were left behind by pure living people after they were frozen.
“It seems that these ice sculptures were formed not too long ago. Are they also Apprentices who came here?” “Then what could have caused them to become ice sculptures?”
After examining it in detail for a while, Heath could not help but be puzzled. Although the snowstorm that kept drifting in the sky contained very strong ice elements, it should not be enough to cause people to become ice sculptures. What on earth could have caused all this?
While Heath was thinking, suddenly, an unusual spiritual fluctuation came from the forest.
And then, Heath soon knew the origin of the ice sculptures…
