A few hours later, Kohen returned living up to his expectations. It brought four spiritual treasures—three
at the low-level King Realm, and one medium level. It was a good harvest given the little beast’s
current condition.
“You can take a rest for now!” Since Kohen was still a cub, it naturally looked tired after searching for
quite a while. Therefore, Rocky deemed that he had to make it rest first. He found a spacious flat area
nearby where they settled. At the same time, he fed Kohen with mixed saliva so that it could quickly
regain its strength.
Not long after, Rocky suddenly sensed that he was being observed by two sneaky auras that were
lurking around. He had actually felt that someone was following him earlier but he just ignored it. But at
this moment, he recognized that these two auras were deliberately stalking him in order to make
trouble.
However, he didn’t make it obvious that he already sensed them. He just smiled and intentionally put
out the four spiritual treasures that Kohen had obtained and laid them on the ground. “Whew! I have
such good luck. It’s just the first day and I already found these. If I continue at this pace, I might even
obtain ten more!”
As he finished speaking, he picked up the spiritual treasures and patted them dearly.
At the same time, the two warriors who were hiding in the dark seemed to envy Rocky as their saliva
almost dripped upon looking at the spiritual treasures. Earlier, they had followed Rocky to look for a
perfect chance to kill him, but his speed was much faster than they had imagined. There were times
that he would suddenly disappear and it took them a while before they caught up with him again. Thus,
they hadn’t executed their mission yet.
However, now that Rocky seemed to be resting and enjoying his treasures like a defenseless child, the
two warriors thought that it might be the chance that they had been waiting for.
Soon enough, the two King Realm warriors with Spiritual Infant at the primary stage exchanged looks
and nodded at each other. Then, all of a sudden, the one in a blue robe rushed out at lightning speed.
In the blink of an eye, he appeared behind Rocky and launched a palm attack. At a glance, it might
seem like an ordinary palm attack, but the force it emanated was so strong that the plants and trees
within a few meters were destroyed as if a hurricane burst out on the area.
Just as Rocky was about to be hit by the warrior’s palm, his image suddenly distorted and disappeared.
When the palm fell, it hit nothing but the ground.
“What? Just a shadow?” The man in blue was stunned. He didn’t expect that Rocky could escape such
a sneak attack.
“What can I do for you?” Rocky appeared a few feet behind, staring at the warrior with a serious
expression.
The man in blue couldn’t believe how Rocky did it, but he forced a smile and said, “Nothing. Nothing. I
just saw you while I was wandering around and wanted to say hello.”
“Oh, I see,” Rocky replied as he let out a faint smile.
At the same time, the man in blue quickly glanced in the direction where his companion was and saw
him making a gesture. Seeing this, he immediately understood what it meant. Hence, when Rocky
seemed to have let his guard down, the spiritual power of the man in blue suddenly surged out, and
several streaks of spiritual power drilled out from the ground like chains that instantly entangled Rocky.
“Ha-ha! You’re wrapped in my spiritual control skill now. You’ve got nowhere to run, bastard!” The man
in blue immediately burst out into laughter as he presumed that he succeeded in capturing Rocky.
Afterward, a man in yellow sneaked over, which turned out to be the companion of the man in blue.
Since Rocky was bound by the spiritual control skill, the man in yellow wasted no time and made his
move.
In a flash, he unleashed a spiritual skill at the King Realm, and a wave of powerful spiritual power
gushed out that covered about an area of a hundred meters. Then, the man in yellow rushed madly
towards Rocky.
However, in the face of this strong power, Rocky didn’t even flinch. All of a sudden, raging spiritual
power surged out from his body that instantly blew the spiritual control skill away. Then, to the surprise
of the man in blue, Rocky used a sword skill that belonged to the Sword Spirit City, and the Mystical
Dragon Sword behind him also flew out.
Before he could even react, the man in blue was hit by the Mystical Dragon Sword and was sent flying.
At the same time, the man in yellow tried to attack Rocky again from behind, but Rocky already knew
what he was trying to do. Then, the Mystical Dragon Sword made a sharp turn and instantly returned to
where Rocky was. Just before the man in yellow reached Rocky, the sword flew out again and
attempted to hit the man’s face with great momentum.
At the sight of this, the eyes of the man in yellow widened and he hurriedly tried to step back. However,
he was slow enough to avoid Rocky’s attack. As he was hit by the sword, he felt an immense pressure
that smashed him.
Immediately after, the man in yellow was also sent flying.
If someone saw this, they would be shocked to see that Rocky had easily defeated two King Realm
warriors with Spiritual Infant at the primary stage. Likewise, this was how the two warriors also felt.
As both of them landed harshly on the ground, they sustained a decent amount of injuries and weren’t
able to get up quickly.
“Who sent you?” Rocky asked as he stared at the two warriors who were still writhing on the ground.
“You don’t need to know. You’re going to die anyway!” the man in blue retorted stubbornly as he stared
at Rocky with disdainful eyes.
“Who will kill me? You two?” Rocky asked as he sneered defiantly.
“What? You don’t take us seriously? Do you think we’ll be defeated by the likes of you? You’re just a
piece of trash!” the man in yellow snapped back as he slowly got up on his feet.
“I am the trash? You followed me for several hours just to catch me off guard, and then what? You can’t
even withstand a sword strike from a piece of trash? What are you then? A piece of shit?” Rocky shook
his head and revealed a mocking smirk.
When they heard this, the faces of the two warriors suddenly turned pale.
“What are you trying to say? You already noticed us from the beginning and you just acted to drop your
guard to draw us out?” That was when the two of them realized that they were just being deceived all
this time.
“Yeah, that’s right. Because you two are pathetic fools,” Rocky remarked harshly as he crossed his
arms over his chest.
“You!” The man in blue grew exasperated hearing Rocky’s words.
“Don’t waste your time in meaningless talk. Let’s kill him!”
The two of them finally got up from the ground and rushed towards Rocky again.
They attacked simultaneously this time, intending to put Rocky to death as swiftly as possible.
However, they never thought that even though they worked together, they were still the ones who were
at a disadvantage.
In a flash, the two of them were sent flying again and crashed on the ground with a loud thump.
“If I were you, I would escape already. If your master really wants to kill me, then tell him that he needs
to find stronger warriors to deal with me, because you losers are so pitifully weak!” Rocky shouted
sternly.
The two were dumbfounded that even with their combined efforts, they were no match for Rocky. They
were filled with rage but soon admitted that they could do nothing to Rocky with their current strength.
After a while, they quickly ran and dispersed as if they were running for their lives.
“It seems that Eunice was right. But I don’t even remember that I offended anyone recently! Why am I
always being attracted to trouble?” Rocky heaved a deep sigh, but didn’t actually take the incident
seriously.
After resting for about two hours, Kohen finally regained its strength. With that, they continued to
search for more treasures in the Phantom Valley.
As they stayed in the valley, two days quickly passed.
With Kohen’s great treasure-hunting ability, Rocky was able to acquire a lot of valuable items.
“Koko, you’re so dependable! Don’t worry, I’ll find you a suitable wife later on, and then I’ll let you have
a few children so that we can form a treasure-hunting team. We’ll be able to acquire a fortune!” Rocky
said jokingly.
However, it seemed that Kohen took his words seriously. It immediately stuck out its tongue at Rocky’s
feet and rubbed its skin on his leg as a sign of endearment.
Rocky laughed happily as he saw the little beast’s reaction. But then, out of nowhere, he was startled
by a vicious roar.
Immediately after, a very powerful aura surged and spread out.
“What a strong demonic aura! Is that from a demonic spiritual beast? Why is it here in this valley?"
Rocky’s eyes instantly narrowed as he put his guards up. It was well known that it was almost
impossible for a demonic spiritual beast to appear in the Ethereal Region, but there were also a few
exceptions.
From a genetic point of view, some spiritual beasts might suddenly become active when their strength
had reached a certain level if they possessed the bloodline of a demonic spiritual beast.
But no matter how the demonic spiritual beast was formed, the moment that it appeared in the Ethereal
Region, it would definitely be a rare and unusual thing. If one managed to catch it and even tame it, it
would certainly be invaluable.
“Let’s have a look then.” Of course, for Rocky, he wouldn’t let this opportunity slip by. Without wasting
any time, he set out and headed to the direction where the ferocious aura came from.
At the same time, it was not only Rocky that perceived the aura of the demonic spiritual beast. At least
thirty warriors at the King Realm within a few hundred meters also sensed it and decided to make a
move. Therefore, almost all of them followed the aura to look for the spiritual beast.
A few moments later, Rocky arrived at the spot, but noticed that he wasn’t the first one to arrive. With
his astonishing speed, no one should be able to reach there before him, unless this person was already
near the area.
“This woman…” Upon closer inspection, Rocky saw that it was a woman who had arrived before him.
She was tall, slender, and had an overall figure that looked like a model. She had fair skin and thick
eyelashes. Even without wearing any makeup, her face looked very attractive. In fact, even though
Rocky didn’t see her face clearly, he knew that she was undoubtedly a rare beauty.
