Chapter 844 Frozen
“What is the draconic essence doing here? Isn’t it supposed to be in the skull of the dragon?”
Jared frowned, as he did not understand how the draconic essence ended up at this place.
The draconic essence was surrounded by rocks of all sizes, and there was also a spring that streamed down the crevices of the rocks.
After studying the environment for a while, Jared did not find Ice Dragon around the area. But after taking a closer look at the spring, he seemed to have worked out the logic.
Since Ice Dragon was made up of translucent ice cubes, the spring that flowed around the draconic essence might have something to do with them.
Jared cautiously drew out Dragonslayer Sword and walked closer to the piles of rocks, hoping to retrieve the draconic essence with the sword.
But the moment the tip of the sword approached the draconic essence, the spring water started bubbling and surging upward. In the blink of an eye, it enveloped and froze the draconic essence!
Jared was certain that Ice Dragon was about to make an appearance.
Once Ice Dragon appeared, Jared would have a hard time retrieving the draconic essence. To prevent the spring from freezing, Jared released several flaming energy waves but to no avail.
In the end, Jared steeled himself, sprinted at the spring, and got hold of the draconic essence!
But the freezing spring, too, engulfed Jared at lightning speed.
Ice Dragon finally emerged, and Jared was trapped within its translucent body.
Even though he could not move his body at all, he still refused to let go of the draconic essence.
Jared was chilled to the bone as if he had plunged into an icy abyss. He had even reached a point where he began to lose his consciousness.
His attempt to use the Focus Technique to dispel the cold air from his body was vain.
After letting out a roar, Ice Dragon charged at the exit of the cave.
Ice Dragon then flew through the water and up to the sky.
Josephine and the rest, who were all crying anxiously, immediately turned their attention to Ice Dragon the moment it came out of the water.
They were all struck dumb when they saw Jared was trapped in the beast’s body.
Even Kenneth, Kristoff, and Sylvester could not believe their eyes.
“Did… Did Ice Dragon swallow Jared alive?” Colin stuttered at the bizarre sight.
“Jared…” Josephine started calling his name and charged in Ice Dragon’s direction.
However, Lizbeth was quick enough to pull her back. She knew Josephine was not powerful enough to take Ice Dragon down.
Meanwhile, though Jared was losing his consciousness, he tried to stop himself from passing out. He got even more worried when Josephine ran over to rescue him.
Ice Dragon made several turns in the mid-air and landed on the edge of the lake. Its tail swept across the water surface, causing the lands and mountains around it to tremble.
Seconds later, Ice Dragon slowed down its movement and eventually lay still on the ground.
Kenneth and Kristoff exchanged glances before charging at Ice Dragon with weapons in their hands. Their subordinates joined in as well.
About ten of them launched an attack on Ice Dragon.
All of them were at least Fifth Level Senior Grandmasters, but their attack did not seem to cause any damage to Ice Dragon at all. They might have left some marks on its head, but there was no way they could retrieve the draconic essence.
The men panted heavily after multiple attempts, yet they still could not crack Ice Dragon’s skull. At that time, Josephine hopped onto its body to check on Jared.
At that point, Jared could no longer move or speak, but his eyes could still blink. Josephine was thrilled to know that he was still alive.
“Girls, we have to do something. Jared is still alive!” Josephine turned to Renee and Lizbeth and said.
