After immediately leaving the camp, Rocky tried to find the most probable location according to the
scene that he had just witnessed.
Not long after, he spotted an oasis-like place about a mile away from the camp. At the same time, he
saw a delicate girl with several plants surrounding her. She stood on a stone with her back on Rocky,
and beside her were a few spiritual toad beasts.
"It would seem that you are the master of those spiritual beasts," Rocky uttered as he fixed his eyes on
the girl in front of him.
"Who are you? How did you find me here?" A bit startled, the girl instantly turned around and appeared
to have an elf-like appearance. She had long pointed ears, delicate body features and silver pupils,
which proved that she was not a human being. She looked young and should be considered a beauty
in the spiritual race.
"Well, your pet told me," Rocky said with a faint smile.
"Did you just say my pet? What did you do to it? Where is it?" The girl instantly got angry at the
mention of her beast.
"I didn't do anything to it... yet. But perhaps I will later. It depends on you," Rocky replied indifferently
with hints of a threat.
"If you dare hurt it, I swear I won't spare you." At the point, the girl was already fuming in anger.
"Do you think you are in the position to tell me that? You sent your beasts to attack our camp, but
unfortunately for you, one of them was caught. So, don't act like we are the ones who are wrong here!"
Rocky retorted sternly.
"Humph! I only did it because you humans have gone too far!" the girl shouted as she clenched her
fists.
"Oh, really? What makes you say that? As far as I know, the members of the spiritual race were the
ones who started this war." From the girl's statement, Rocky couldn't help but think that she was either
naive or brainwashed.
"That's only because you humans already wanted to take action against our race!" the girl exclaimed
with conviction.
"It's meaningless to talk to a closed-minded person. Anyway, since you are the master of those beasts,
once I capture you, we could eventually get rid of the trouble." Even though she could control quite a
number of those spiritual beasts, Rocky perceived that the girl should not be very strong and should
just be at the medium stage of the Spiritual Infant. Although she was with her spiritual beasts, Rocky
was confident that he could easily beat her.
"Ha! What will you do then, catch me?" the girl asked as she taunted Rocky. Then, a pair of transparent
and thin wings stretched out from her back as she flew into the air.
At the same time, her beasts simultaneously pounced on Rocky.
Rocky was slightly surprised because he didn't expect that the girl could freely fly in the air. At the
point, he realized that he had underestimated her. He couldn't just chase after her because the spiritual
beasts were already rushing towards him.
Moreover, the saliva of those beasts was corrosive. Once they attacked him at the same time, even he
wasn't sure if he could successfully dodge all of them without getting hurt.
Therefore, with his quick thinking, he chose the safest way to deal with them, which was to hide
beneath the earth.
Thus, as the beasts pounced on him, they weren't able to catch Rocky because he had already
disappeared from where he stood.
"Damn it! Where did he go?" The girl floated in the air and could not clearly see what happened. As
Rocky disappeared from her sight, she showed a panicked expression on her face.
Then, in the blink of an eye, a figure suddenly broke through the earth and soared into the air to grab
the girl.
However, the girl's reflexes were faster than Rocky anticipated. She was able to dodge sideways and
eventually flew further up into the sky.
Since he couldn't stay and fly into the sky, Rocky landed on the ground again. Looking at the girl
beyond his reach, he shook his head and let out a bitter smile. He thought that if they were just fighting
in the previous world that he came from, he would have already captured her.
"What's wrong? Come and catch me, idiot!" the girl shouted with a defiant sneer.
"I advise you not to be so complacent, little girl!" Then, Rocky immediately pulled out his Mystical
Dragon Sword from his back and forcefully swung it across the air. Immediately after, the violent sword
force rushed out, which was full of destructive power.
Seeing that the sword force that Rocky unleashed had a large range, the girl could not help but run as
fast as she could.
"Take this! Thousand-star Swordsmanship!" As the girl got flustered, Rocky immediately took the
opportunity to use the Thousand-star Swordsmanship.
In an instant, countless starlight appeared in the air and swarmed towards the girl like blazing meteors.
"What the hell is this magic skill?" The girl was in a daze as she didn't expect that there is a human
spiritual skill that would be so powerful that it could directly attack her while she was flying in the air.
The next moment, the spiritual light flashed around the girl. At the point, she could feel that the
overwhelming spiritual power was about to get her and she would not be able to dodge at all.
"Argh!" she shouted in pain as she swiftly fell from the sky.
At the same moment, a figure suddenly appeared in front of her. He stretched out his hand and pulled
her into his arms.
The girl was still in a daze. But when she raised her eyes to see what happened, she was shocked to
see the figure stare at her with a sinister smile on his face.
The girl's face instantly turned red and her heart also beat faster. When she regained her senses, she
immediately pushed Rocky away. Then, she stared at him with her eyes wide open and said, "What do
you think you are doing? Pervert!"
"Pervert? How dare you say that to my face? If I was not able to catch you, your buttocks might have
been smashed as you crash to the ground," Rocky replied with an obviously teasing tone.
"You, jerk..." The girl was almost rendered speechless as she glared at Rocky.
"You're coming with me!" Obviously, Rocky did not intend to fight and harm such a beautiful girl.
"What? Are you kidding me? No way! I don't have time to play with you!" the girl snorted coldly. All of a
sudden, her body vanished in thin air, along with her beasts.
Rocky was caught off guard at what just happened. He tried to rush to the spot where the girl
disappeared, but there was not a trace of her anymore.
"What did she just do? It's such an amazing skill! She can just escape whenever she wants without
even leaving a trace behind." Of course, Rocky was surprised and intrigued by the skill.
However, now that the girl had escaped from him, he had no choice but to leave and return as well.
The moment Rocky left, the girl suddenly appeared from a spot not far away from where she had
vanished earlier.
"Fortunately, I have the super useful assimilation skill!" the girl said with a deep sigh of relief. At the
moment, she actually still had some lingering fear. As she looked in the direction where Rocky
disappeared, she could not help but say, "That guy is definitely stronger than the humans that I have
encountered before. Moreover, he actually detected my existence. Well, I was just caught off guard. If I
see him next time, I will definitely defeat him."
With that, the girl flew into the air and left the area.
Upon returning to the camp, Rocky found Commander Ling waiting for him.
"Spiritual King Basil, you're back. Why did you leave in a hurry just now?" Commander Ling asked as
soon as he saw Rocky.
"I engaged with the member of the spiritual race nearby who turned out to be the master of the beasts
that invaded us," Rocky replied straightforwardly.
"Really? How are you able to find that person?" Commander Ling was quite stunned.
"You don't have to worry about that right now, Commander Ling. The most important thing is that we
are now sure that someone was behind the assault of beasts. Moreover, that member of the spiritual
race is powerful. We should be prepared in case we are attacked again," Rocky warned.
"Then, what should we do now? Currently, we don't have enough strength and manpower to fight off
those beasts in the front line of the western region," Commander Ling said as he broke into a cold
sweat. That was definitely an upsetting situation for them, and there was no guarantee that they could
overcome the attacks the next time it happened.
