"Even though there is no enchanted barrier nor powerful guardian beasts protecting this spiritual treasure, I don't think it will be that simple and easy to get it..." Rocky's eyes narrowed slightly, with a thoughtful look on his face. He was remembering his previous experience in the Hell of Dragon Fang. He believed that this spiritual treasure must be well guarded since it was sealed here. Moreover, when he entered the ice forest just now, he noticed that ice sculptures of spirit-manipulated beasts could be seen in every direction.
"So, what should we do then?" Lucilla asked hesitantly, noticing that Rocky had some concerns regarding the situation.
"I am sure that it will be inevitable for the first person who wants to eat the crab to be clamped by its claws a few times. So, I suggest we find a place to hide first, then we check the situation from there first." Rocky finally decided after careful consideration.
"Alright, let's go then." Lucilla nodded. She was confident in Rocky's decision.
With that, the two immediately left the ice stone that had sealed the spiritual treasure. After walking for quite a while, they came across a dense ice tree and a huge ice sculpture. They hid behind the massive structure and used it as their cover. Now, the only thing they needed to do was to patiently wait for the right moment.
And just like that, a couple of hours had passed already.
"They are rather slow; don't you think? It took them so long to deal with just a group of monkeys. I reckon even turtles would be faster than them in getting here." Rocky could not help but playfully tease the spirit manipulator team as they did not show up yet.
Lucilla could not help but burst into laughter when she heard Rocky's playful comments.
As Rocky looked at her smiling face, he felt his heart become tender. Only half a year ago, this woman in front of him had given up the position as the chief of her clan just to protect him. She gave up her rightful position which was coveted by countless people. Moreover, she had left her own hometown and returned to the Holy Dragon Empire with him. He had not seen her for more than half a year, but he still felt the familiarity and connection between them. From her every move to every inch of her body, he could clearly feel that she had the purest and deepest feelings for him, and she did not regret her sacrifice at all.
However, he knew that he could not respond to her feelings for him, not in the way that she wanted. He knew that she would not ask him anything, and that it was enough for her to be with him like this. But as a man, he felt a little ashamed to let a woman make a huge sacrifice for him. He felt guilty that he could not give her more than what he could.
'I need to talk to her about this soon, ' Rocky thought to himself as he glanced towards Lucilla.
"Wait, someone is coming." Lucilla heard some noise and immediately peeked, raising her beautiful eyes to see from their cover.
Rocky also heard the footsteps. It was getting clearer and clearer with every passing second. Soon enough, the spirit manipulator team finally appeared in front of the ice forest.
"Everyone spread out! Search for the target immediately!" the leader of the team, an old man at the Divine Stage, ordered.
The team of spirit manipulators quickly dispersed and began to search for the spiritual treasure sealed in the ice forest.
Rocky and Lucilla's cover was relatively small. For them not to be discovered, Lucilla's delicate body had been completely covered by Rocky's body. Her plump breasts were heaving up and down because of her slightly rapid breath which inadvertently brushed against Rocky's strong chest.
Because of the intimate contact, Lucilla's small face turned bright red all of a sudden. She did not dare to look up at Rocky. She was hiding her face as if she had done something wrong.
"Well, this is not the first time, so don't be shy," Rocky playfully said. He could not help teasing her.
