At that very moment,
a violent flash of seemingly ice-cold light flickered in the sky. In a split second, this lightning hit the
Demonic Plague Beast on the ground below it. Instantly, the humongous Demonic Plague Beast began
to be covered in ice crystals, solidifying its entire body. Even its huge feet that were about to step on
Rocky and Uriah were also frozen in midair.
Rocky and Uriah, on the other hand, were about to fall on the ground when they noticed that their
weakness had suddenly vanished into thin air. As a result, Uriah quickly found its balance again and
soared into the sky with Rocky mounting on its back.
"Whew, that was close! I never thought that what they say is true! That calamity beast surely is
powerful!" Rocky hurled a sigh of relief. Despite the fact that he was saved from the disaster, it could
not be denied that fear still lingered in his heart. As they were high up above in the air, he could not
help but glance at the Demonic Plague Beast, whose body had been frozen without warning. Rocky
had no idea what kind of power could freeze such a mighty and savage calamity beast. He turned to
look in the direction of the ice light, but to his dismay, he found nothing.
"Who on earth saved me?" Rocky mumbled under his breath.
Meanwhile, the Demonic Plague Beast let out a vicious roar. Not long after, successive crackling
sounds echoed all throughout the atmosphere as the beast tried to break through the powerful ice force
that had frozen it.
Of course, Rocky thought that it would do him no good to stay and watch the beast free itself from the
suppressive force of the ice. Instead, he instructed Uriah to zoom and fly out of the city at the fastest
speed.
After they left, a delicate figure wrapped in icy light suddenly emerged and gloomily stared at Rocky's
receding figure.
"He is not like Belial at all. He put himself in danger just to save those weak humans, even though he
was facing a calamity beast. I didn't expect that those calamity beasts would resurrect. By the looks of
it, the Wild Spirit Land is going to face another catastrophe. Has it all come down to this? If he really is
the reincarnation of Belial, then perhaps everything is destined to happen," the figure said and looked a
little hesitant.
Discombobulated, she took a quick glance at the Demonic Plague Beast and finally disappeared. As
soon as Rocky flew out of the city,
he immediately met with Marcia, who had been waiting for his arrival.
"Are you okay?" Marcia asked in a worried tone.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Have they all left?" Rocky asked.
As a reply, Marcia nodded her head slightly.
"It seems that the calamity beast is more dangerous than I expected. Unfortunately, I can't save those
innocent people who got infected." After Rocky finished his words, the light that once shone in his eyes
seemed to have dimmed. Although he had successfully developed a vaccine to treat the infection,
there was still no way for him to save the thousands of lives.
"You've tried your best, and the vaccine that can prevent people from being infected has been
successfully developed. We know how much you want to stop this infection from turning everyone into
the walking dead," Marcia comforted as she gave Rocky's back a nice good pat.
"We should waste no more time. Let's go," Rocky urged and left with Marcia.
Not long after, they led the army to escort thousands of people who had retreated from the city and
directed them back to the Rime Army Group's stronghold.
However, upon returning to the stronghold, they heard a piece of bad news. It was said that the other
cities and towns where the pandemic broke out had also become a gathering place of zombies.
Moreover, these zombies were also the ones responsible for attacking and annihilating the thousands
of soldiers who were safeguarding those places. At that time, a large number of zombies were coming
from the border towards the central region of the Holy Dragon Empire. If these zombies crossed the
border and entered the central region, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"It seems that we have to completely block the Rime Army Group's whole border area and gather as
many soldiers as we can to kill these wild zombies. We must do everything in our power to prevent
these zombies from entering the Holy Dragon Empire," Rocky said to Marcia. At that moment,
everyone tried their best to put their minds into focus, now that the situation had gone very serious.
Obviously, the Rime Army Group would be the one tasked to fight against the zombies that were
transformed by the calamity beast.
"I will arrange everything right away," Marcia replied as she nodded.
"I have to go back to the Crimson City as soon as possible to produce the vaccines that we might
need," Rocky continued.
After a day, he led his medical team back to the Crimson City, travelling relentlessly without any breaks
on the road. Soon after, he ordered his people to start the mass production of the vaccines.
Meanwhile, the entire Wild Spirit Land had been in chaos due to the rebirth of the nine wild calamity
beasts. One after another, all kinds of terrible disasters suddenly occurred, which had an immense
impact on human survival. Some of the small countries had even witnessed the death of tens of
thousands of people in a span of just a few nights. And because of the sudden disasters, it seemed
that humanity was already beginning to collapse.
On the other hand, the spiritual race was not better off, either. The wild calamity beasts desired to
devour the members of the spiritual race. As a matter of fact, they had been searching for the spiritual
race since their rebirth. Almost overnight, several small clans of the spiritual race had become extinct.
For humans and the spiritual race, the resurrection of these wild calamity beasts was like doomsday—
there was no way for them to stop it from happening.
A few days later, Rocky was seen pouring his heart out as he worked on a new batch of vaccines in the
Genome Research Institute in the Crimson City.
Just a few days ago, Marcia had reported that there was an increasing number of zombies trying to
break through the boundary defense line of the Rime Army Group and entering the Holy Dragon
Empire. Despite the great strength of the group, they still lacked vaccines. As a result, many of their
generals and soldiers were infected with the plague. At that time, Marcia could not do anything else but
hope and pray that Rocky would be able to send another batch of vaccines to them right away to
prevent the infection from spreading further.
In addition, some small and medium-sized countries around the Holy Dragon Empire also suffered the
same fate. Upon learning that the Holy Dragon Empire had developed the vaccines, they all asked for
help.
Therefore, the demand for the vaccines exceeded the supply.
In such a critical moment, the value of the vaccines was reflected. Due to their efforts in producing and
developing the vaccines and their previous humanitarian assistance, Rocky had successfully convinced
some countries to join his plan of united empires. After a few nudges and convincing, Rocky was a step
towards his grand dream of establishing the united empires.
This laid a solid foundation for the future solidarity of the human countries in the Wild Spirit Land.
Someday, a guard came in and reported, "Your Highness, the princess of the Timber Deity Empire is
here to see you." Without a doubt, Rocky already knew that Alyssa must have come over to discuss
the matter about the colored pearl. Immediately, he stood up from his chair and went to see her.
"Is that good news?" Rocky inquired the moment he laid eyes on Alyssa.
"What do you think?" Alyssa gave a smile. Then, she took out a wooden box and handed it over to
Rocky.
Rocky took the box and slowly opened it. There, he saw a bead with blinding spiritual light enveloping
in it. "Just like what they described it to be, this must be the colored pearl," Rocky exclaimed.
