Chapter 006: Strange Objects
The three individuals simultaneously came to understand that this was the secret behind Xu Shaoyou's display of power
At the moment when Xu Shaoyou was slightly lost in thought, Zhou Lie launched another attack. He did not care about anything else and decided to knock the opponent down first!
Zhou Lie could not help but take two steps back, feeling a chilling aura in front of him that induced a sense of sluggishness in his movements. Looking again at Xu Shaoyou, he stood at the center of the cold air, his gaze revealing anger as he slowly clenched his fists
Xu Tianbao found a long branch and carefully pried open the frozen clothes, revealing a belt that emitted a faint blue glow
Two figures intertwined back and forth in the square, leaving the young onlookers dumbfounded, their mouths agape
Xu Tianbao looked for a while and said: "These large seal scripts seem to have another purpose besides explanation. Look, there is a silver button on the buckle, perhaps..."
Fatty Zhu Wanhao praised: "Tianbao, you are truly impressive, you even recognize the large seal script. However, I find it somewhat strange. Is the person who made this belt so afraid that others won't know how to use it, that they felt the need to write instructions? If they wanted to write, why use large seal script? A child like me, who is severely specialized in certain subjects, would be completely bewildered by this treasure. Moreover, it looks so new, it certainly cannot be an ancient artifact"
What do I want to do?" Zhou Lie vigorously shook his belt, feeling that his hands were indeed cold, so he took off his jacket to wrap around the belt. After that, he laughed heartily and said: "You didn't manage to become the village bully today, so you must pay some interest, right? This belt is quite nice, lend it to me for a few days.
Zhu Wanhao laughed heartily: "That Xu Shaoyou is out of luck; he will never be able to go back in this lifetime."
Xu Tianbao said with utmost certainty: "These characters are in the Great Seal script, an ancient form of writing, very old indeed. I can barely recognize some of them. This text refers to cold ice, no, it is mysterious ice, which seals a dangerous cocoon with gemstones. At critical moments, it can restrain heat, known as the Mysterious Ice Cocoon"
Fortunately, the depths of Longjing Pool are also very cold, and he often dives to catch fish, making him much more tolerant of the cold than others
Xu Shaoyou raised his eyebrows, astonished that this young man's palm strength was so domineering. It is worth noting that even the Third Elder's private training had not reached this level. Could it be that a martial arts prodigy has emerged from this small mountain village
The three of them ran towards the north of the square, and only slowed down after entering the fields.
Moments later, the sapphire on the belt turned grayish-white, and the inscriptions vanished without a trace, making the belt appear very ordinary
Xu Tianbao carefully tucked away his belt and said: "Is it really that hard to understand? Xu Shaoyou has lost such a treasure, and he will definitely be out with his lackeys searching for us like mad dogs. Therefore, Brother Lie left the belt behind, preparing to take things one step at a time. The most important thing is to guard against the other side acting out of desperation and doing something unscrupulous. Since we have already made an enemy, returning the item will not solve the problem at all. Moreover, the customs of our village are quite fierce, and Brother Lie is qualified to collect the spoils of war. Who would be willing to part with such a treasure that has come into their hands?"
Only a few blue sapphires were inlaid on the belt, and between the sapphires were filled with dark greenish-black characters, which seemed to move with the tiny glimmers of light
Xu Shaoyou's complexion was quite poor, his right arm trembled slightly, his back ached excruciatingly, and there was a very noticeable bruise on his neck.
Time was short, and Zhou Lie stepped back again to maintain distance from the opponent. He took deep breaths while swinging his arms, feeling a terrifying chill spreading from his fists up through his arms
As Xu Shaoyou fell to the ground, he saw a pair of large hands reach over and grab him fiercely, and in just a few moments, they had snatched away the protective belt left to him by his father
Open ... ...
He extended a branch and struck it forcefully, instantly causing the cold air to contract, and the white frost on the ground quickly melted away
"Hehe, let me see what peculiarities you have on you." Zhou Lie was an extremely curious young man, and today Xu Shaoyou was behaving so strangely that he was eager to understand the reason behind it
Regardless of the circumstances, he absolutely does not allow others to ride on his head
Mysterious Ice Cocoon
At this moment, Xu Shaoyou's gaze was like lightning as he faced Zhou Lie and said, "You will pay the price for your recklessness"
The wind howls like torn silk, producing a hissing and rustling sound in the cold air
"Hey, Lie Ge, where are you going?" the chubby man called from behind.
There is no second sentence, the bone-chilling fist has already arrived before me
As soon as he finished speaking, he called out to Zu Wanhao and Xu Tianbao, urging them to leave quickly. If the Third Elder were to return, he would definitely stand up for Xu Shaoyou, so if they did not leave now, when would they?
He slightly felt it and nodded, saying: "This is correct, Xu Shaoyou cannot withstand such cold; this belt itself is a treasure that can enhance cold resistance"
As the saying goes, just as it is said, in an instant, the icy cold fists and palms collided, and a series of "bang bang bang" sounds echoed in the ears.
The cold wind swept through, adding a layer of frost to Zhou Lie's eyelashes. His muscles felt the chill, instinctively contracting and tightening, as the crisis unleashed his immense potential
A layer of white frost formed on the ground, astonishing everyone in the square
After getting to the bottom of this belt's details, Zhou Lie turned around and left
At the moment Xu Shaoyou was thrown off balance by the force, he received three blows to his chest, causing him to spurt blood wildly and his body to stagger backward.
Xu Tianbao wrapped the belt around his waist and pressed the silver button on the buckle, and the previous chill erupted once again
No, you little brat, what do you want to do
This thing can freeze your hands, so you two should not be careless. Zhou Lie placed the clothing on the ground, and immediately, a white frost spread out, causing a layer of tiny ice flowers to form on the surface.
Zhou Lie let out a loud shout, causing the cold air that clung to his skin to be expelled. He then abruptly turned his body, swiftly moving his feet to the side of Xu Shaoyou, and clapped his hands twice.
With a soft sound of "chi," the figure moved like an arrow released from a bow. Before the surrounding chill could gather, Zhou Lie swiftly changed his steps, and Xu Shaoyou found his wrist caught by the opponent's right hand
Zhou Lie picked up the belt and suddenly recalled the crimson beast that had turned his father to ashes. It was a terrifying demon beast capable of emitting fierce flames from its body. Perhaps if his father had possessed such a belt back then, he would not have died
To be honest, Zhou Lie was also stunned, but many incredible things have happened recently. Since his treasured antique mobile phone, which he had kept for many years, could make calls, it seemed that he could also accept the changes occurring with Xu Shaoyou before him
The pain in his body was secondary; what truly shocked him was whether this person with the surname Zhou was a monster. It was one thing for their palm technique to exceed expectations, but their physical condition was so exceptional that it could ignore most of the cold energy sealed by the Xuanbing Cocoon. This situation was abnormal
The fat man couldn't help but exclaim: "Wow, this thing is amazing! Usually, no one can tell that it is a treasure, but at a critical moment, it can be unexpectedly revealed to catch people off guard, which is quite fitting with Xu Shaoyou.
The fat man Zhu Wanhao exclaimed with envy: "Lie Ge, what treasure did you take from Xu Shaoyou? Hurry up and show it to your brothers."
Wow, it can even glow, my dear!" Zu Wanhao couldn't help but rub his hands together; he had absolutely no resistance to anything that could be sold for money
