CHAPTER 164 OBTAIN A TREASURE

"Damn! This Dark Heaven Insect is too difficult to deal with!" The red-haired man had no clue that he

had completely fallen for hook, line, and sinker into the trap Rocky had so masterfully set. He was now

going to great lengths to kill the Dark Heaven Insect, to obtain the Dark Heaven Egg inside its body.

After spending quite a few laborious minutes in a desperate struggle with the Dark Heaven Insect, he

had been panting and sweating. His spiritual power was growing weaker by the second. Worse still, his

spirit-manipulated beast had been accidentally wounded by the Dark Heaven Insect before and had,

therefore, lost its fighting power, leaving its master to fight against their prey alone.

But the beast was in no good shape either. Although it had armor as hard as iron, this spirit manipulator

had adopted a relatively clever way to attack its weaker lower abdomen. Therefore, although its outer

shell was intact, it also suffered a lot of internal injuries under the impact of the spiritual power at the

Earthly Stage, which made it begin to seem rather powerless.

When the Dark Heaven Insect discovered that it was not in an ideal situation, it decided to escape

under the ground as quickly as possible.

Utterly spent, the red-haired man could only watch helplessly as the Dark Heaven Insect tried to

escape, but he had no intention or any remaining strength to stop it.

As the Dark Heaven Insect was about to run away, suddenly, a bone arrow covered with venom and

mixed with the strong spiritual power of the Earthly Stage flew from one direction. With a loud, ear- Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

splitting whistle, the bone arrow sank into one leg of the scurrying insect. Its injured leg suddenly went

entirely limp, causing the insect to slow down considerably as it ran underground.

"Swish, swish..."

Three more arrows flashed overhead, hitting one more forelimb and two hind legs!

"Crash!" Accompanied by a loud din, a huge cloud of smoke and dust began to float into the air.

The Dark Heaven Insect finally collapsed on its four legs as if its internal organs had come to a halt,

leaving its huge body with no strength to support itself anymore. Finally, with the last of its strength

completely gone, it fell onto the ground.

Upon observing this scene, the red-haired man could not help but feel totally stupefied. 'What kind of

arrow is so powerful that it can bring down the Dark Heaven Insect at once?' he thought to himself

doubtfully.

Just then, one man and a beast emerged out of the dense thicket nearby.

"It's you!" The red-haired man looked surprised when he saw Rocky emerge unscathed from the

bushes, with a cocky grin on his face.

"You've really made great efforts in helping me exhaust the strength of the Dark Heaven Insect so that I

can defeat it in just one move!" The red-haired man's jaw dropped. He realized that this had all been

part of this mysterious man's plan! He had concocted a perfect scheme from the very beginning. If he

could successfully lure the Dark Heaven Insect out onto the ground, the red-haired man would probably

be totally driven to obtain the Dark Heaven Egg. And to get the Dark Heaven Egg, he had to kill the

Dark Heaven Insect first. Rocky's prediction was right! The red-haired man would most likely do his

best to kill this target once and for all.

"You little bastard, how dare you plot against me?" The red-haired man looked aghast at Rocky's

words. He had never expected to have the tables turn like this!

"You might have heard an old saying goes like this: he that does evil shall find evil. I'm just giving it

back to you. Tell me, who exactly hired you to attack the frontline outpost of the Holy Dragon Empire?"

Rocky asked the red-haired man coldly, and his eyes becoming as hard as steel.

"Ha-ha, what do you think you are? To deal with a man weak and useless like you, I can crush you with

just one finger!" the red-haired man cried out with great arrogance. It was clear that he hadn't known

about Rocky's hidden strength yet, and he sneered at this man whom he perceived to be quite weak.

Hearing this man's disdainful words, Rocky's face darkened. With his spiritual power soaring instantly,

he made himself reach the second grade of the Earthly Stage. He then said with astonishing

momentum, "Who is weak? You or me?"

Upon seeing Rocky's real power, the red-haired man began to feel panicked. His legs began to tremble

and his knees eventually buckled underneath him.

"I am the weak one, I am the weak one! Please spare my life!" The red-haired man, who had just

behaved so pompously, immediately knelt to beg Rocky for mercy. Although he was at the first grade of

the Earthly Stage, he had already used up all his strength during his fight against the Dark Heaven

Insect. He now knew that Rocky's true strength was far superior to his. Undoubtedly, he could no

longer be arrogant, because he knew that Rocky could easily crush him with one finger if he wanted to.

However, Rocky did not intend to save his life. He clearly knew that the red-haired man was a vicious

and ruthless guy. To save his life was to save a scourge. Therefore, it was better to kill him. After

making up his mind, he directly walked towards the man with red hair, with a cloud of starlight leaping

up onto his hands.

But at this time, Rocky heard a rumbling sound behind him. He couldn't help looking back, and he saw

that the Dark Heaven Insect was struggling desperately to wriggle through the hole it had just dug. If

the Dark Heaven Insect entered the hole, it would be rather difficult for Rocky to lure it out again.

While Rocky was distracted by the Dark Heaven Insect, the red-haired man took the chance to use all

the rest of his spiritual power to run away in one direction, and he disappeared in an instant.

Rocky glanced at him calmly and didn't chase him again. Instead, he turned nonchalantly and took out

the bottle of magical saliva from his pocket and opened it. The Dark Heaven Insect, who was about to

enter the hole, immediately gave a strange cry when it sensed the magical saliva. It stopped worming

its way into the hole immediately and looked in Rocky's direction.

After successfully attracting the attention of the Dark Heaven Insect, Rocky took hold of the magical

saliva and approached the Dark Heaven Insect. When the Dark Heaven Insect saw Rocky

approaching, it immediately gave out a sound full of alertness. Its huge body moved slightly, but it was

just like a sick cat that could not give full play to its real strength.

After confirming that there was no threat from the Dark Heaven Insect, Rocky first pulled out the four

bone arrows stained with venom on the four legs of the Dark Heaven Insect and withdrew them to the

quiver behind his back.

Since the four legs of the Dark Heaven Insect were paralyzed by the venom of Centipede-snake

smeared on the four bone arrows, when the arrows were pulled out, the Dark Heaven Insect also

regained some consciousness on its legs, and it was about to climb up after stumbling.

When Rocky saw the Dark Heaven Insect regain its mobility, he immediately tied the bottle containing

the magical saliva to Uriah's forelimb and let it run forward immediately. The Dark Heaven Insect

immediately shook its huge body, slowly and leisurely climbed up, and then headed for Uriah.

Uriah lured the Dark Heaven Insect out of the dense forest as Rocky followed them closely behind.

After a day and night, Rocky and Uriah appeared in the dim light of night in the ghost village west of the

northeast military camp, where the Dark Heaven Insect had slain many people. Now the village was no

longer inhabited, and there was a huge shadow following behind them.

Behind them lumbered the huge insect, staring right at the saliva on Uriah's leg.

Since there was a nest under the ghost village, which was a very suitable place to keep it in captivity,

Rocky led the Dark Heaven Insect here. However, along the way, he took great pains to divert some

patrol forces from the northeast military camp, and finally managed to bring the Dark Heaven Insect

here without anyone's notice.

Seeing that the Dark Heaven Insect had almost run out of energy, Rocky took down the bottle of

magical saliva that was tied to Uriah and threw it directly into the hole in the ghost village.

Once he did this, the Dark Heaven Insect which was right behind him immediately followed the bottle

directly into the hole.

Rocky also jumped into the hole and landed on the monster's back. He grabbed a piece of its iron shell

to stabilize himself, then followed it all the way down into the ground. He finally entered the nest, which

was tens of meters below the surface.

Once the beast stopped moving, Rocky jumped off its back. As he did this, he pulled out several

poisoned bone arrows from the quiver behind his back. While the Dark Heaven Insect was looking for

the magical saliva in the dark, he aimed at the unhealed wounds on its four legs and inserted the

arrows into its wounds one by one.

"Howl!" The Dark Heaven Insect immediately collapsed to the ground again, unable to move.

Rocky grinned. It wasn't every day that he successfully captured a Dark Heaven Insect and trapped it

in this nest. After that, he could begin to keep it in captivity, and it would be extremely easy for him to

obtain the Dark Heaven Egg!
