Chapter 526: Eternal Winter Forest, Empty Town (2/2)

Several wooden bridges and floating trunks connected the town. Because it was above water, it was more humid. As a result, every building was covered in ice spikes. The residents did not seem rich. Many buildings were worn down and had holes in them. The beast pelt and fish skin covering the buildings were in tatters. It had to feel freezing and humid living in such a place.

It must be because the marine products provided by the lake was sufficient to support consumption that allowed the people living here to endure and create such a settlement.

There was a lot of dried meat and fish, as well as chillies and other spices hanging on the doors and windows of the houses. Some fishing boats were even filled with barrels of fish and other goods which were not yet unloaded. The scene appeared to be normal, except for the fact that there was not a single person in the town. The doors that were left open made creaking noises within the billowing wind.

The group quickly advanced and approached the house nearest to the bank.

“This place......”

Suddenly, Bat stopped before a large pile of snow and waved to the scattered group.

The moment they gathered, he swept away the pile of snow by generating wind currents from his hands.

“What’s this?”

Moss was shocked.

The corpse of a monster appeared before him.

The monster was over three meters in size and had a fish body. It grew four limbs and was dark green with blue dots all over its body. Its four fins looked like four wings.

Although it had died a long time ago and its eyeballs had sunken dwn, it still seemed to be reverberating arcane energy fluctuations.

“It's a Lake Sahagin, a Lord level monster! It’s also the guardian of this town. A typical settlement in the Eternal Winter Forest usually keeps a powerful monster and lives together with it.”

Bat flipped the monster around and everyone could see a large cut at its abdomen. The organs inside were gone.

Bat used a black stabber to cut open the chin of the monster. He reached inside and pulled out a diamond-shaped crystal core.

Bat cleaned the crystal core in a pile of snow and spoke with a chilling voice, “Just like the monsters and beasts we encountered before, the blood, brain tissue and organs are devoured. However, the valuable monster core is left behind. This should also be the work of those undead ghouls.”

Belo nodded and spoke, “Let’s take a rest. There are plenty of empty rooms.”

Chris and Moss glanced at each other.

They also felt Belo becoming stranger the more time passed. Belo’s gaze was fervent and impulsive before they entered the Eternal Winter Forest. However, he seemed to have become completely calm after entering.

Good rest was necessary, especially after travelling for days in this extremely cold weather.

A warm fire was lit in the hearth of a house that was in the best condition.

There was fresh bread on the dining table and utensils made out of bronze or tin.

After enjoying a meal of bread, grilled meat and fish, they covered themselves with thick blankets and slept.

Wooo......

Chilling winds constantly blew across the town.

Snow began falling from the sky.

The snow gradually became heavier.

Three white silhouettes suddenly appeared in the forest next to the lake.

The three silhouettes clearly noticed the light coming from the house Belo’s group was resting in.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The white silhouettes rushed towards the house Belo’s group was in.

Within the warm room, Belo’s eyes suddenly opened soundlessly and red glints flashed across them.

The moment he quietly got up, the others were also awake.

Clear running noises came from the wooden bridge outside.

Belo’s nose twitched. He made a simple gesture and opened the door.

Almost at the same time the door opened, a shout was transmitted to everyone’s ears, “Quick, extinguish the fire!”

Chris and Moss felt that the voice was familiar. After recalling for a moment, they realized who the owner of the voice was.

“Ivan?”

“Quick! Those undead ghouls are extremely sensitive towards light and fire!”

As the cold air gushed in, Ivan wearing white leather robes appeared first, followed by a familiar tall arcane master. The third arcane master was short and gave off a weird first impression as if he were wearing a deer head.

“Don’t worry.”

Seeing Ivan’s panicked expression, Belo only pushed his spectacles and spoke while looking into the distance, “I’m actually waiting for them. I’m doing this on purpose...... And it’s too late.” Previous ChapterNext Chapte
