The Wolf’s Bride

Andrius was both shocked and amused when he saw the true form of this creature. However, his hands did not hesitate, and the spear struck down with a thunderous force.

Bam!

Sparks flew, and a clear explosion sounded.

However, the turtle’s shell was an extremely rare and natural defensive treasure in the world. Its defensive power was astonishing and not something that Andrius could break through.

The spear strike did not cause any damage at all. looked more ferocious and terrifying.

As soon as it appeared, an endless chill spread and turned the surrounding area into an ice field!

The winds howled, and the atmosphere turned eerie.

The entire place was shrouded in a cold killing intent.

Whoosh-

The next moment, the head lunged at Andrius. It opened its bloody mouth, seemingly intending to swallow Andrius whole.

As the head approached, Andrius noticed some clues.

Behind the huge head was a smooth neck. It was not the snake skin or body that he imagined! There was also no sign of a forked tongue in the angry gaping mouth.

Swish!

However, Andrius did not have time to think.

The Argentum Qilin Spear in his hand swung instinctively. The spear glinted radiantly like a galloping dragon emerging from the sky.

Andrius knew that this thing was powerful and did not dare to be careless. He immediately used the seventh form of the Burden of Nine Skies!

Whoosh-

With a shrill whistle, Andrius‘ dazzling attack hit the ugly and ferocious head.

The head suddenly shrunk back. Then, its entire body emerged from the cold pond.

“What…”

Andrius was dumbfounded when he saw the appearance of the beast.

It carried a hard shell on its back that was adorned with mysterious but exceptionally clear patterns. It was not a demon snake. It was a turtle that had been alive for an unknown amount of time!

The agile head that had just appeared was the turtle’s head…

Andrius instantly understood.

This beast should be what Kate mentioned yesterday–a spirit turtle that had lived for thousands of years.

Andrius and Kate were both somewhat surprised. After exchanging a glance, they hastened their pace.

A moment later, they arrived at the source of the chilling air. It was a deep and cold pond!

“What…”

Andrius and Kate were stunned.

The Northern Desert was known for its aridity, strong winds, intense sunlight, and scarce vegetation and rainfall…

How could there suddenly be such a deep pond?

Something was very off!

“Hiss-” Suddenly, Kate shivered and said in astonishment, “Andrius, there might be something extraordinary in this pond! When the cold air invaded just now, it penetrated deep into my meridians. I only remained unharmed when I used all my strength to resist it.”

Just the aura made Kate, a Martial King, feel like she was facing a formidable enemy.

It was clear how terrifying this pond was!

“Step back! I’ll see what’s going on,” Andrius said to Kate decisively, then gripped his Argentum Qilin Spear and strode toward the pond.

The pond was a deep green. Even with Andrius‘ eyesight, he could only see a few meters past the surface. He could not see what was happening in the depths.

Gurgle…

Gurgle…

Just then, countless bubbles suddenly emerged from the pond’s surface.

Andrius snorted slightly and gripped the Argentum Qilin Spear tightly, ready for battle at any moment.

The bubbles became more intense.

Splash-

The next moment, a huge head emerged from the pond, creating countless splashes. The head was similar to the demon snake’s head from the sealed area of Mount Valdez, but it

What surprised her the most was that Andrius continued to chat and smile during the process, showing no signs of extreme pain.

Unbeknownst to her, Andrius had overcome numerous injuries more terrifying amid gunfire on the western frontline. Looking back now, this was nothing more than child’s play.

“Done…”

Kate was meticulous throughout, afraid that she might accidentally hurt Andrius. Even after finishing, she held her breath and focused.

“Let’s go.”

Andrius was much more relaxed. He stood up and walked further in. From NôvelDrama.Org.

Although the boulder was fierce, it only caused superficial injuries and was not too troublesome.

With Kate’s dressing and Andrius adjusting his breath, it would not pose that much of a problem.

Just as they reached an intersection, the old voice sounded again, “Have you thought carefully? Your strength is acceptable, but your companion seems to be a burden.

“The next trial is much more dangerous than the previous one, and a single mistake will cost your life. You can still turn back now. It’ll be too late to regret it if you wait until disaster strikes!”

It might cost their lives!

Andrius could not help but think about what Kate said yesterday: no one had passed the second stage, the beast trial, so far!

However…

He swore an oath before the Flame Emperor’s remains, so he would never regret it. “Let’s go!” Andrius responded firmly to the Turtle Sage.

Soon, the two walked out of the mountain pass and arrived at the second location.

As soon as they stepped foot inside, a biting chill came rushing toward them.
