CHAPTER 261 SEARCH FOR MORE DARK HEAVEN INSECTS
So far, in addition to taking the magical saliva, Rocky had also mastered using the Dark Heaven Egg
and Heaven Divine Lotus Seed to cultivate, the latter which he practiced under the state of Spirit
Possession. However, he only had two Heaven Divine Lotus Seeds. One of them was obviously worn
out due to refining, and the other could only support the cultivation for a month. With a little time left, he
either had to find other treasures that could be used for cultivation or catch a few Dark Heaven Insects
that could produce medium-grade Dark Heaven Eggs. Due to continuous improvement of his strength,
the refining effect of the preliminary-grade Dark Heaven Eggs that he currently possessed could no
longer help him as much as it used to. Right now, the best option to help him improve the cultivation
speed was the medium-grade Dark Heaven Egg.
'After taking care of Verdanim's injured leg, I want to try my luck to catch Dark Heaven Insects, ' Rocky
thought for a while then proceeded afterwards.
A few days later, Rocky removed the iron plates and bars fixed on Verdanim's left leg. He was
delighted to see the very well regenerated bone of the left leg.
"It seems that you've been working hard to recover too!" Rocky's face was a few inches away from
Verdanim's leg. He scrutinized every part of it to be certain that the regenerated bone had no content rights.
complications. Contented, he patted Verdanim's head. The left leg bone had completely regenerated
with its powerful recovery ability in such a short period of time.
Of course, the magical saliva also played a great role for this!
Verdanim let out a few low-pitched dragon howls. It sounded very happy. The grateful dragon
recognized its savior by gently brushing its head to Rocky's arm. During its recovery, Rocky often came
to check and treat its wounds. It brought them together like family.
After disinfecting the surgical wounds on Verdanim's left leg, Rocky sewed up the wounds and carefully
wrapped the bandage. He then removed the suture of the surgical wound on its lower abdomen.
Except for the laceration, everything else had almost recovered.
After treating the wounds, Rocky stood up and got ready to leave.
Marin suddenly showed up to see Verdanim. She walked into the stable hurriedly not noticing Rocky.
They bumped face to face, their lips inches away from each other.
Now with a foul mood, she looked up to see and was about to scold the person who carelessly ran into
her. She gasped, mouth agape, and eyes bulged as she recognized the person in front of her. Marin's
face flushed crimson when their eyes met as she recalled what happened that night. Her heart started
to race. She looked away, teeth clenched her bottom lip, as panic appeared on her delicate face.
Rocky noticed her subtle expression. Afraid to embarrass her, he simply nodded and smiled at Marin.
To break the ice between them, he politely said, "Verdanim's feet is almost healed. From tomorrow, you
can take it out and walk around. It has been resting for a long time, and moderate exercise will help it
recover fast. Be careful not to strain it or it will tear the newly healed wounds."
Relief replaced her awkwardness upon hearing Rocky's words. She almost lost hope when Sheridan
said that Verdanim might not be able to stand up even if it survived. Rocky fixed it with his magic
hands. The news was a big miracle to her!
"However, you'll have to wait patiently for its full recovery. It will take at least three months of
rehabilitation exercise. So you have to control the amount of exercise and don't rush. Otherwise, it will
be detrimental to the recovery. Verdanim's recovery is on your hands now. I've done my job, and I've
told you everything you need to know. We can call it quits now. I hope you can think calmly before you
take actions in the future. Don't get Verdanim hurt because of your impulsiveness again," Rocky
advised seriously.
At that moment, all Marin could do was nod her head. As if Rocky was the commander of the northeast
military camp, and she was a frightened and submissive soldier who had just made a big mistake.
"I gotta go." Rocky saw how Marin reacted to everything, but he had to stifle his laugh. He walked out
of the stable without thoughts of coming back.
"By the way, the Commander in Chief sent a message yesterday. Have you considered what he
mentioned before?" Marin said hurriedly as something suddenly came to her mind. She had no idea
what the Commander in Chief referred to.
Marin knew that the Commander in Chief wanted to transfer Rocky to the base camp before. But she
was distracted due to Verdanim's injury. She had no chance to talk with him about it till now. She heard
from the Commander in Chief that Rocky had been promoted to base camp because of his good
performance during the last Army Flag Contest. However, she still wondered how brilliant Rocky was in
his performance. That even the strict Commander in Chief valued him so much. What a waste to miss
such moment. She would have seen him the same way too.
"Tell the Commander in Chief that I appreciate his kindness so much, but I still choose to be an
ordinary breeder," Rocky said lightly to Marin, and left without looking back.
"I wonder what's wrong with him. Who in their right mind will turn down such a golden opportunity? Why
do I overthink like it has something to do with me? He'd better not show himself in front of me again."
Marin dismissed the thought about that night as soon as it crossed her mind. She wished to never see
Rocky again in this lifetime. She felt a great amount of discomfort whenever he was around.
After returning to his house, Rocky began to make plans to continue the search and catch of Dark
Heaven Insects. Unfortunately, there seemed to be no Dark Heaven Insects in the territory of the
northeast military camp. He was left with no choice but explore the other military camps.
The nearest to him was the northern sky military camp which was located in between the northeast and
northwest military camps. In addition, this camp was also the closest to the war front. If a country tried
to covet the Holy Dragon Empire, the northern sky military camp would come and defend it right away.
So it was more restless compared to the northeast military camp.
It was precisely the reason why it was more difficult to catch Dark Heaven Insects in the territory of the
northern sky military camp. However, if he was to consider the distance to bring the Dark Heaven
Insects back, then the northern sky military camp was the most suitable. Shorter travel time was a must
when catching Dark Heaven Insects. Otherwise, all collected Dark Heaven Insects would be put into
waste.
Before returning to the camp, Rocky incidentally inquired about the situation of the northern sky military
camp. His efforts were in vain as he got nothing, and this added to his burden but he continued to
search for and catch Dark Heaven Insects. However, since he was not aware of the patrol route yet, his
biggest worry right now was to encounter the patrol squad of the northern sky military camp. He simply
didn't want to be caught after he successfully collected the Dark Heaven Insects.
Rocky was overwhelmed, and he decided to do things one at a time. He had to find the Dark Heaven
Insects first, then began to consider other issues.
Once everything was set, Rocky immediately took Uriah and Rubygon. Together they walked all the
way to the boundary between the northeast military camp and northern sky military camp.
Rubygon still had a lot to learn but it already had some fighting power. Most of its abilities were yet to
be activated. Regardless, it could help Rocky in some aspects now. He was confident to catch even the
medium-grade Dark Heaven Insects if they came across them.
Early in the afternoon, Rocky and his two beasts reached the boundary. Rolling hills were followed by
the territory of the northeast military camp. Beyond the hills was the territory of the northern sky military
camp, a place where they would encounter unexpected dangers that were unknown yet!
