CHAPTER 1306 CAME IN FOR THE BLOOD ESSENCE
"How dare you break into our clan alone, Prince Crimson? Do you think that strengthened by the power of the Divine Spiritual Source, you can belittle spiritual race clans like us and do whatever you like?" The patriarch of the Ghost Master Clan could not help become extremely irritated at the sight of Rocky. Whilst his blood boiled in anger, he also had some reservations about the seemingly audacious intruder.
At that time, his subordinates immediately reported to him about the intruder's break-in. Based on their description, he had a hunch and was convinced that the intruder was none other than Rocky. Needless to say, he was very careful in dealing with him. In fact, he knew that it was not a good move for Rocky to come alone and trespass the Ghost Master Clan's property. At that time, the patriarch considered Rocky's possession of the Divine Spiritual Source, causing him not to do anything rash. In his mind, he knew that it was only wise to learn first the reason for Rocky's uninvited presence in their clan at this hour.
"Well, it seems that you have misread the situation. It's not that I am ignoring your clan. It's just that I don't need to take you seriously at all," Rocky said arrogantly and coldly.
"You..." The patriarch was fuming mad that his face instantly turned red, causing his blue veins to pop from his temples and neck. However, this anger that burst from deep inside him seemed to have been doused with water very quickly. Observing Rocky's words and deeds, he believed that this man was not here to cause any trouble, and there was no need for him to put more fuel to the fire. Although the patriarch had his eye on the Divine Spiritual Source in Rocky's hand, he could not read if Rocky would use this to destroy the Ghost Master Clan out of the blue. Rocky was considered as the God of plague in the eyes of any spiritual race clan. As a result, they couldn't provoke him easily no matter how badly they wanted to. Therefore, he had to think long and hard about the consequences of his actions, even though he wanted to do something about Rocky's presence at that moment. Every minute spent with Rocky was so delicate that doing something rash was never an option.
"Cut the crap. I came here only for one thing: to take a few drops of your legendary beast's blood essence." Rocky came straight to the point and stated his purpose.
"What? The blood essence of our legendary guardian beast? I'm afraid that you will go back empty- handed, Prince Crimson," the patriarch replied after a moment of astonishment.
"What do you mean by that?" Rocky questioned grimly.
"Yes, our clan has a legendary guardian beast to protect us. But to tell you the truth, this beast has not been reincarnated yet," the patriarch replied truthfully.
"Is that so? Can I see this beast you are talking about?" Rocky asked directly as he did not believe the patriarch's words.
"This beast is regarded as the treasure of our clan. What makes you think that we would show it to the outsiders so easily?" the patriarch said attentively. He was afraid that Rocky would have some evil ideas once he saw their beast.
"That is if you are confident that you can stop me from seeing the beast," Rocky scoffed.
The patriarch's heart seemed to have skipped a beat when he heard Rocky's daunting words. By the looks of it, Rocky was so adamant about seeing their beast that rejecting him would be unwise. On the other hand, if he continued to refuse, it was hard to say what Rocky would do. Moreover, he was worried that Rocky might have some ulterior motives with his request, which was why he was so he was hesitant to let him in and see the beast.
"Patriarch, you don't have to worry about me. I'm not interested in your legendary guardian beast..." Rocky said with disdain as if he had read the patriarch's mind.
It was not until then that the patriarch remembered that Rocky already had three powerful spirit- manipulated beasts, and one of them was revered as talented as a legendary guardian beast. Thus, there was really no need for him to think that Rocky would do something unprecedented to their legendary guardian beast.
"Patriarch, the word goes around that Prince Crimson is great in beast taming. Maybe he can help us find out why our legendary guardian beast has not been reincarnated yet," Guardian Zack, who brought Rocky in earlier, suggested at once.
The patriarch thought for a while upon hearing this proposition. Then, he looked up at Rocky and said, "Prince Crimson, how about we make a deal? If you can find out why our legendary guardian beast has not reincarnated yet and solved it, then I will let you take a few drops of its blood essence. What do you think?"
"Well, that's a piece of cake," Rocky answered without a trace of hesitation.
"All right then. A deal's a deal. Follow me." After the patriarch finished speaking, he immediately stood up from his chair and walked towards the long corridor with Rocky on the other side of the hall. Material © of .
Rocky followed closely behind him. After turning several corners, they reached and entered a naturally- made cave. Inside the cave, dark and heavy energy filled the space, with its dim lighting that lay in the center of the cave.
Rocky took a few steps forward and immediately saw that the faint light shadow was actually huge, similar to an egg that hadn't yet hatched. Judging from the aura of the egg, it was not at all an ordinary egg.
"Is this the reincarnation of your legendary guardian beast?" Rocky glanced at the patriarch with narrowed eyes.
"Yes, you're right, Price Crimson," the patriarch said with a quick nod. "In fact, we found the reincarnation two hundred years ago."
"What? Two hundred years ago? So, you mean that your legendary guardian beast hasn't been reincarnated for two hundred years. Did I get that right?" At that moment, Rocky's voice was full of surprise because what he was seeing was obviously unreasonable. Whether it was a spirit-manipulated beast or a supernatural beast, they would grow naturally even without the presence of a master. Moreover, this legendary guardian beast was no exception.
For example, Alyssa's Moon Fox used to exist in the form of a guardian beast, but after being unsealed, it turned into a legendary guardian beast. The same thing happened to Marcia's Holy-blood Dragon King. In fact, the Phoenix Master Clan's legendary guardian beast was found after it grew up. Before being taken in, it had been living in a quiet and secluded life in the world.
Therefore, upon hearing that the Ghost Master Clan's legendary guardian beast had not yet, reincarnated after two hundred years, Rocky felt that he could not explain this phenomenon through common sense.
"In the past two hundred years, our Ghost Master Clan has been looking for a way to reincarnate the beast. Yet, even after we have tried thousands of ways to do that, we still failed. With that being said, our clan has also strictly guarded this secret. We thought that if other clans of the spiritual race knew that our clan's legendary guardian beast is still in this form, then spies would definitely crawl our property..." the patriarch said with a deep sigh.
"But your legendary beast's case is really tricky and hard to understand. I don't think that I can explain it by common sense. So, the usual method may not be useful for its reincarnation." Rocky slowly nodded his head as he stared at the gigantic egg in front of him.
"In fact, Prince Crimson, I have been paying attention to you since you became famous in the Wild Spirit Land. Before all of that, I heard all the clans of the spiritual race claim that you are the man chosen by God. That is why I thought that you might be able to make our legendary guardian beast reappear. However, you are now considered as the enemy of all the clans of the spiritual race. Logically speaking, I shouldn't have put so much of my trust on you. I should have known better than to let you approach our legendary guardian beast. But now, without the spiritual treasure, it will be extremely disadvantageous to our clan if we don't have the beast's protection," the patriarch mumbled as he stared at Rocky with his shrewd eyes.
"As the saying goes, the one who knows the situation and adapts to it is wise. Patriarch, you should know that your clan can't hold on to this secret for too long. If you still intend to control the entire Wild Spirit Land, sooner or later you will reap the fruits of your own actions," Rocky reminded him abruptly.
