"Oh, the creature is unique. It is commanding yet beautiful." Rocky gazed at the Heavenly Diabolic
Dragon for a while and nodded in agreement. The Heavenly Diabolic Dragon was almost on a par with
the calamity beasts found in the Wild Spirit Land.
Rocky advanced the beast fearlessly.
"Don't get too close to it, as it is very wary of strangers," Tessa warned immediately, worried that the
Heavenly Diabolic Dragon would become agitated if Rocky approached it.
"It's all right. I'll be fine." Rocky smiled and continued to approach the creature. At the same time, he
used the Mysterious Beast Transformation Skill to form a strange aura.
He had cultivated the skill to its highest level, enabling him to communicate with any spiritual beast
directly.
"I won't hurt you. I just need your help to save your child..." Rocky used his spiritual sense to
communicate with the Heavenly Diabolic Dragon.
When the dragon first saw Rocky moving closer, it bared its fangs and brandished its claws, seeming
very vigilant. But soon, it calmed down, as though it had understood what Rocky had said.
"I need your blood to save your child. This might hurt a little, but remember that I'm only trying to help,"
Rocky said softly.
The dragon immediately raised its head and roared as if it were furious.
Both Tessa and Ramon were shocked. Ramon immediately placed himself in front of Tessa to protect
her from any accidents.
The disciples of the Sword Spirit City, who stood outside the Fragrance Pavilion, were frightened and
backed away. The dragon's roar was so terrifying that they were worried that it would suddenly go
crazy and hurt them.
However, to their surprise, after the dragon roared, it suddenly crawled to the ground, as if it had
surrendered.
Everyone, including Tessa and Ramon, was dumbfounded when they saw that. In the Sword Spirit City,
only the warriors at the King Realm could resist the Heavenly Diabolic Dragon. And so, they did not
expect that the dragon would submit so easily to Rocky. It was truly incredible!
Seeing that the dragon had quietened, Rocky immediately took out several special blood transfusion
tubes from the lab in his Magic Spiritual Space. The tubes were specifically used for blood transfusions
during surgical procedures performed on spiritual beasts.
"What are these?" Tessa asked as her curiosity peaked.
"They are called blood transfusion tubes. They can transfer Nightshade's mother's blood to it..." Rocky
explained.
"Really? I've never heard of such a thing. How are they used?" Tessa asked with widened eyes.
"It's simple. The tubes have needles at both ends. Once these needles are inserted into Nightshade's
and its mother's arteries, blood in their arteries will flow out through the tubes. Then, the blood must
circulate through two bathtubs before being allowed to enter Nightshade's body," Rocky explained.
"That's remarkable! I didn't know that blood can be transferred in this way. How did you figure out such
a method?" Tessa exclaimed. She had absorbed every detail Rocky shared with a certain degree of
reservation. But, the more she learned, the more she felt in awe of Rocky.
Ramon, who was standing aside, was surprised as well, for he had never heard or seen such tubes
before.
"I just happened to figure this out." Rocky smiled calmly.
"Really? That is very unlikely," Tessa remarked. She eyed Rocky suspiciously, but her face showed no
emotions.
"Miss Tessa, he cannot be trusted as he is of unknown origin. As soon as he finishes the blood
transfusion for Nightshade, I want to take him away. It is important that we learn more about his
identity..." Ramon uttered, caution surging within him.
"No. I've decided to keep him here until he cures Nightshade for me," Tessa refused resolutely.
"He can't stay here. We don't even know his identity. If he has any ulterior motive or hurts you, I will
have to face the consequences!" Ramon's face darkened. After all, he was responsible for bringing
Rocky back. Although Tessa's had ordered him, Ramon still had to watch him. He would be held
accountable if there was anything wrong with Rocky.
"Why can't he stay here? I will tell my father about all this. Don't worry. By the way, weren't you and
Hannah supposed to go to the Grand Sky City to negotiate the purchase of ethereal crystals?" Tessa
immediately changed the topic.
"Well, Grand Sky Sect is demanding an exorbitant price. They are aware that our supply of ethereal
crystals can't be delivered in time because of the war at the border. And so, they are quoting a high
price for their crystals as we have expressed an interest in purchasing them," Ramon snorted
discontentedly.
"Hmm. I think perhaps Hannah has found a solution," added Tessa.
"Well, since Miss Hannah purchased the ethereal crystals in person, there was no problem. Although
we paid a little more, it will guarantee the supply of ethereal crystals for our Sword Spirit City for at least
three months." Ramon nodded.
"That's good. I don't know when the war will end. But if we don't fight, our enemy will occupy a few
more areas of the Ethereal Region," Tessa sighed.
"We would have never entered into a war with the spiritual race had it not been for the Shura Race's
interference. However, this situation is not new to us. How fortunate for the Shura Race though, as they
will benefit from it in the end," Ramon responded.
"By the way, I heard that the Shura Race opened the door to another world a while ago. It's unclear
which world has suffered!" Tessa remarked in a tone that hinted at genuine uncertainty.
Rocky, who was immersed in the task of transferring blood for Nightshade, frowned when he heard
Tessa.
"I've heard that it's called the Wild Spirit Land. Spiritual race and humans, like us, inhabit it," Ramon
replied.
"Really? I expect the Shura Race to take a lot of prisoners," Tessa guessed.
"Perhaps. But I haven't heard anything like that yet. Nevertheless, we are no match for the Shura Race.
We have no choice but to be cautious and keep ourselves safe. We can't interfere with what they do."
Ramon shook his head.
Rocky lifted his head and thought, 'It seems as though coming to Sword Spirit City was a prudent
decision.' As both Tessa and Ramon knew about the Shura Race, Rocky had the chance to get more
information about it. Even so, he couldn't ask them directly, or he'd risk making them suspicious about
his identity.
Before long, Rocky inserted the needles into the Heavenly Diabolic Dragon and Nightshade,
respectively, and then he made a simple blood circulation container with two large bathtubs. In this
way, the mother dragon's blood could be transferred into Nightshade's body in a contamination-free
environment.
"It's almost done. Now we need to wait," Rocky advised Tessa after he finished.
"How long do we have to wait?" asked Tessa.
"We should wait until Nightshade wakes up by itself. If it is lucky, it will regain consciousness in a day.
But there is a chance that it may never wake up. After all, excessive blood loss causes brain hypoxia,
which means Nightshade might slip into a long-term coma. This will lead to nerve stagnation, reducing
its chances to ever gain consciousness," Rocky answered honestly.
"Don't let anything happen to it!" Tessa's eyes filled with tears when she heard Rocky's explanation.
Her face turned pale as anxiety saturated every cell in her being.
"Don't frighten her..." Ramon growled when he saw Tessa's reaction. Obviously, he was still hostile
toward Rocky.
"I'm not trying to scare her. What I said is true," Rocky said as he crossed his arms over his chest and
glanced at Ramon.
Almost instantly, Ramon's suspicions regarding Rocky's identity increased manifold, and coldness
reflected in his eyes.
"Tessa, since you want me to treat Nightshade, please arrange a place for me to live," Rocky uttered,
unfazed, as he stretched himself.
