The Medallion novel Chapter 1060

"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.

Lucilla felt more embarrassed when she heard this, her face turning redder than ever. She buried her head in Rocky's arms and murmured, "What? What are you talking about? Nothing ever happened between us!"

"Oh? Is that so?" Rocky deliberately prolonged his tone. He was entertained by Lucilla's reactions.

Lucilla was even more embarrassed by his teasing. She looked up, lightly bit Rocky's ear and whispered, "Stop it. We'll get in trouble if we're discovered!"

When Rocky heard this, he smiled playfully and then calmed down. In fact, he just teased her because he wanted to relax a little bit. He knew that there would be a massive battle coming soon.

At that moment, several spirit manipulators were searching in the direction of Rocky and Lucilla. They were close to passing by Rocky and Lucilla's hiding place.

So, Rocky immediately held onto the hilt of his Frozen Wind Dagger.

His aura suddenly became a little tense. If he were discovered, it would only mean that there would be a difficult fight between him and the team of spirit manipulators!

"Hey! I found it! I found it! It's here!" A hurried cry came from the front. It seemed that someone had found the ice stone in the center of the ice forest where the spiritual treasure was sealed.

The spirit manipulators, who were only a few steps away from the two of them, stopped and quickly turned back as soon as they heard the cry.

Rocky and Lucilla breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. Their eyes met, and their bodies were close to each other that they could not help but feel a bit hot.

Lucilla suddenly felt her throat getting a little dry. She hurriedly took two steps back when she realized that she was still leaning on Rocky. Her little face was still flushed which was extremely attractive!

Rocky immediately turned away and looked at the ice stone with sharp eyes. The whole team of spirit manipulators had surrounded the ice stone, and the closest to it were three peerless masters at the Divine Stage.

Then, a master at the Supernal Stage looked at the spiritual treasure sealed in the ice stone and asked the leader, "Elder Duke, this should be the one that we are looking for, correct? But what in the world is this? It looks like a spiritual weapon..."

Duke was an elder in the royal family. With this, Alston must have attached great importance to this mission since he even sent out a peerless elder.

The other spirit manipulators also whispered and discussed with each other. They looked like they were guessing what treasure was in the ice stone.

"I have no idea. But since His Majesty asked us to find it, it must be extremely important. Now if we take it out, we can complete the task." As Elder Duke spoke, he immediately turned his left palm, and a wave of strong spiritual power of Fire nature burst out in an instant. It immediately turned into a fire wave. Then, he directed it to the ice stone in front of him. Under the intense high temperature, the ice stone began to quickly melt.

When the ice stone was completely melted and the spiritual treasure in it was about to appear, the spiritual treasure suddenly flashed with a blinding light. The whole ice forest suddenly trembled as if it had been hit by a colossal thing. Then, a wave of spiritual power surged out from the ground of the ice forest and filled the whole ice forest in an instant.

The spirit manipulators had no clue about what just happened. Then, the ice sculptures of spirit-manipulated beasts that spread all over the ice forest suddenly moved like living creatures, one after another. The whole scene was extremely spectacular to behold!
