CHAPTER 186 KILL TWO BIRDS WITH ONE STONE

Rocky stared closely at the spot under the magical saliva and soon, he saw something pitch-black

crawl out of the ground. The creature had a hard, black shell and black wings. Rocky realized that it

was the Dark Heaven Insect that he had been looking for. This particular Insect's strength was at the holds text © rights.

first grade of the three-star level, the same as that of the one he had captured earlier.

Rocky heaved a sigh of relief. The Dark Heaven Insect at the first grade of the three-star level was

pretty easy to deal with. It would not take him too much effort to capture it alive. On one hand, his

strength was the same as the creature's. And in addition to that, he had secret weapons—the bone

arrows dipped in the Centipede-snake's venom, powerful enough to paralyze a big beast in a split

second. But before he could move in to capture it, he saw another huge figure crawling out of the

ground nearby. It was another Dark Heaven Insect. But this one was at the second grade of the three-

star level, stronger than the previous one. Its strength was at least equivalent to a spirit manipulator,

who was at the second grade of the Earthly Stage.

"Wow! I get to kill two birds with one stone? I just can't believe my luck!" Rocky blurted out jubilantly. He

was surprised by the arrival of the second Dark Heaven Insect. It was hard to believe that he had

managed to lure two Dark Heaven Insects out of their caves at the same time with his magical saliva.

Although it was a lucky break that two of them had popped out from underground all of a sudden, it was

going to be tricky to capture and get them back. He had to figure out a good plan fast. If there were

only one of them, it would have been easy for him to capture it alive. But now, he had to capture both at

the same time. It was going to be a bit troublesome. The Dark Heaven Insect was very difficult to deal

with because of its tough skin. Rocky had to conquer the two Dark Heaven Insects at the same time.

He would be in serious trouble if they joined together to fight him off.

He watched as the two Dark Heaven Insects crawled out of the ground and dashed towards the

magical saliva that was hanging above them. Rocky felt his heart pound and his mind was racing. He

knew that he had to come up with a good plan as soon as possible. Opportunity seldom knocked twice;

if he missed this chance to catch the two insects alive, it would be hard for him to find an opportunity

like this again. His plan, although it was an absolutely difficult challenge, was to take the risk and go all

out to capture the two insects alive. But if that plan failed, he would kill the weaker one first, and

capture the stronger one alive, since it could produce Dark Heaven Eggs at the medium grade. It was

the best strategy he could come up with at that moment—sacrifice the knights in order to save the

queen, which meant making minor sacrifices to safeguard major interests.

Making up his mind quickly, with two abrupt whoosh sounds, Rocky shot two bone arrows stained with

the Centipede-snake's venom, one after another, towards the Dark Heaven Insect at the second grade

of the three-star level. He wanted to immobilize the stronger insect first so that he could concentrate on

capturing the weaker one.

But Rocky had completely underestimated the strength of the stronger Dark Heaven Insect. The

moment he shot the bone arrows, the stronger Dark Heaven Insect immediately noticed the threat.

Before the arrows could reach its body, it suddenly turned around and flapped its black wings swiftly. A

gust of air rose, which deflected the flying bone arrows instantly and they pierced into the trunk of a

tree nearby. His original plan had failed.

Rocky squinted, looking cold and grim. The situation had gotten trickier for him if he wanted to capture

the two insects together. The weaker three-star Dark Heaven Insect became alert after it saw what had

happened. It turned around and stood next to the stronger Dark Heaven Insect, hissing hysterically and

looking ferociously at Rocky. But soon, it sensed the danger in the air instinctively and tried to quickly

escape back into its cave.

"Uriah!" Rocky waved to his war beast. He wasn't planning on letting either one of the insects escape.

Uriah understood Rocky's orders and immediately howled deafeningly. As it roared into the sky, its two

flame tails entangled with each other and a fireball appeared. It shot out, and with a loud bang, the

fireball exploded in front of the two holes from where the two Dark Heaven Insects had crawled out of.

The earth shook for a moment, and the holes collapsed and were buried under gravel and soil.

When the two Dark Heaven Insects realized that they could not return to their nests, they hissed angrily

at Rocky. The stronger Dark Heaven Insect stretched its black wings and rushed toward Rocky, ready

to attack. The creature's huge body, coupled with its super power, destroyed everything in its path and

razed everything in the way to the ground.

"Uriah! I'll leave the big guy to you. Be careful!" Rocky said.

Uriah roared twice towards the sky, and then charged towards the stronger insect. Uriah's roars caught

the attention of the stronger insect. When it realized that Uriah's power was equal to its own, it

immediately grew hostile and stared at the enemy with its cyan pupils. It took an attack stance and

rushed towards Uriah.

Uriah did not show any sign of weakness either. Its vigor and momentum suddenly increased. It looked

mighty, like the king of all beasts. With a roar, it continued to dash towards its enemy without the

slightest fear.

Both Uriah and the insect were beasts at the second grade of the three-star level. The moment they

clashed, a fierce fight began.

When the other insect saw the fight between the two beasts, it moved to help its companion. But Rocky

blocked its path swiftly.

"I will be your opponent today!" Rocky bellowed. As he stared at the weaker three-star Dark Heaven

Insect, the corner of his mouth curled up into a wicked smirk. He could not allow the two insects to

attack Uriah at the same time. That would be dangerous.

Rocky also knew that he had to end the fight with the weaker insect as soon as possible. Although

Uriah was at the second grade of the three-star level, it was still slightly inferior to the Dark Heaven

Insect at the same level. Also, the insect had a strong defense, thanks to its hard shell. Uriah didn't

have any major advantages in terms of attack or defense. So, he had no choice but to conquer the

huge Dark Heaven Insect in front of him quickly and then run to help Uriah conquer the other Dark

Heaven Insect. He was afraid that if he took more time, Uriah would inevitably get hurt.

However, Rocky's successful capture of a Dark Heaven Insect at the second grade of the three-star

level last time was mostly due to the man with the red hair. He had used him to consume most of the

Dark Heaven Insect's power. Thus, with him being alone this time, it would not be that easy to conquer

the creature.

"Guess I'll just have to give it my best shot," Rocky said firmly. He pulled out the Frozen Wind Dagger

with one hand, while his eyes were closely fixed on the Dark Heaven Insect. The next second, his eyes

grew cold; he activated his power at the second grade of the Earthly Stage. The momentum all over his

body was increased immensely and he was stronger than before. Without any hesitation, he dashed

towards his enemy.

Although the weaker three-star Dark Heaven Insect saw that Rocky was impressively stronger, it didn't

show any weakness. When it saw Rocky dashing directly towards it, the insect immediately flapped its

black wings, which set off a gust of sand wave from the ground and blocked Rocky's view. Then, the

Dark Heaven Insect moved its huge body and tried to attack Rocky quickly from under the cover of the

sand wave.

The next moment, there was a loud bang. When the dust dispersed slightly, it was clear that Rocky's

Frozen Wind Dagger had hit the hard shell of the insect. But since the shell was hard, the moment the

Frozen Wind Dagger hit it, a loud bang rang out and strong sparks flared up in the air. Still, the insect

didn't show any sign of weakness. It, at once, lifted its body abruptly with great force. Rocky was

thrown aside violently. But he managed to land on his feet. He retreated two steps before he could

stand firm on the ground. It was obvious now, how amazing the power of the Dark Heaven Insect was.

After being thrown around by it a few times the same way, Rocky realized that he could not fight the

creature head-on. In a split second, he came up with a better plan. He drew his bow and shot an arrow

directly at the Dark Heaven Insect. The insect immediately flapped its black wings, stirred up a wave of

dust, and tried to deflect the bone arrow. But a second after the first bone arrow was shot, a second

arrow headed towards the insect at a faster pace, almost parallel to the previous one.

Just as the insect had blown away the previous bone arrow, the other bone arrow flew directly towards

it. The three-star Dark Heaven Insect hadn't expected such a trick from its attacker. Before it could

react appropriately, the bone arrow pierced one of its legs.

The insect felt its forelimb go soft and weak and it soon fell to the ground with a loud thud.

When Rocky saw that his plan had worked, he was delighted. He took the opportunity and used his

Frozen Wind Dagger to attack it violently. He also used his bone arrows to neutralize the remaining

legs of the insect. Finally, the Dark Heaven Insect was defeated and captured, with its huge body

completely flattened to the ground.

After conquering the weaker three-star Dark Heaven Insect, Rocky had consumed more than half of his

spiritual power. But he had no time to rest. To supplement his lost spiritual power, he took a drop of the

magical saliva. Without further delay, he then dashed towards Uriah's direction, who was in a fierce

fight with the stronger three-star Dark Heaven Insect.

Since its power was inferior to the insect's, Uriah was at a disadvantageous position at that moment.

Rocky rushed to help Uriah.
