Chapter 632: Ice Cold Body (1/2)

Pop......

An air bubble suddenly appeared on the lake surface.

Even under the extreme coldness, the air bubble released an intense heat when it surfaced.

Meraly became extremely nervous and exclaimed, “Belo!”

Pssh!

A naked figure surfaced from the molten ice lake.

“Ah!” Meraly screamed.

It was Belo who appeared from the lake...... However, his front was facing her this time, so she saw everything.

However, in the next second, she shouted nervously with red cheeks, “Belo, how are you?”

Although it was only for a moment, she clearly saw Belo’s skin turning purple from the coldness. The blood vessels in his body emerged onto his skin and glowed red. He looked extremely scary.

“Don’t get so startled!”

“Are you alright?” Meraly could hear Belo’s usual tone and felt relieved. However, when she unconsciously wanted to face Belo, she reacted and blushed even redder, “Have you put on your clothes?”

“Yeah.” Belo snorted unhappily.

“Ah!” Another scream, “Didn’t you say......”

“You asked about clothes, these are pants!”

“......”

“What’s this?”

After becoming speechless for a moment, Meraly became astonished and curious again.

When she got closer to Belo before, she would feel warmth. However, right now she only felt colder the closer she got to him.

It was because of a golden square box in Belo’s hand.

This golden box was what Belo had retrieved from the lake. It was the size of a normal person’s head. It seemed to be made by an elven craftsman. The flowers and vines drawn on it were done so well they looked real. Layers up layers of these flowers and vines wrapped around the box, making it feel like a dense forest.

Even though in the past eras, Mountain Dwarf craftsmen had the best craftsmanship and could create even more intricate objects than this box, the nature and artistic aura given off by this box was not something they could create.

A strange and chilling arcane aura was seeping out from between the gaps of the flowers and vines.

Meraly noticed that the skin on Belo’s hands remained purple despite stepping out of the lake.

The arcane power seeping out from the box seemed to contain a terrifying corrosive property apart from it being frighteningly cold.

“I don’t know.” Belo immediately answered, an undetectable cold glint flashing across his eyes.

It was very bizarre.

Ever since the Evil Dragon’s consciousness started taking action, the Ice Lich Bone Box he carried started to gain a strange resonation. The resonation got stronger as they entered the forest. The arcane power from the Ice Lich Bone Box seemed to naturally integrate with the arcane power released by the object inside this box. However, at the same time, the object inside the box also seemed to contain a terrifying repulsive force. There was something suppressing the arcane power of the object inside, and repelling the arcane power from the Ice Lich Bone Box at the same time.

A dangerous cold glint flashed across Belo’s eyes, then fervent impulsiveness started burning in his pupils.

He was originally the impulsive freshman of the Holy Dawn Academy, hence he did not overthink it. He simply tried to open the box, so he could take a look.

The box had no lock. As he pulled it open with his fingers, a seam immediately appeared.

Whoosh!

Transparent light rays shone from the seam.

The air twisted mysteriously, but did not harm Belo and Meraly.

However, at that moment, roaring sounds came from the quiet forest behind them.

The roaring sounds clearly came from human vocal cords. Only a human's throat and nose structure could make such sounds. However, the sounds seemed much more desperate than a wild beast spotting a prey after starving for a long time.

The greediness oozing from the roars sounded as if they had waited for a thousand years.

Bam!

Belo just threw the box down and turned around.

The arcane power of the box was highly damaging to those who came into contact with it. If normal arcane masters touched the box, they would be frozen into ice statues instantly. Even though his bloodline could resist it, he could not fight it with full strength if he held the box.

More importantly, his wild instinct sensed danger.

What kind of enemy could evade his senses until they roared out themselves?

“Who’s there?”

Sss......

Meraly drew a sharp breath.

A large volume of cold air entered through her mouth, freezing the water vapor in her lungs. The discomfort made her cough.
