CHAPTER 332 ANOTHER SLEEPLESS NIGHT

Rocky knew that a beast would never leave its safe nest easily unless it had to. So, it would be too

hard to trick the Three-tailed Aquatic Lizard into getting out of the pool. Even the magical saliva would

fail to do that, too. These factors left Rocky no other choice but to try to destroy the part inside its body

with the function of absorbing water. In this way, he could prevent it from absorbing the water in the

pool and firing water bombs against him and his war beasts.

You would think that this was a piece of cake but it was the complete opposite. The Beast

Encyclopedia did not describe where exactly that part was, so Rocky had to find it himself. He thought

about it a lot and then decided to dive into the pool to have a close examination on the lizard and find

out that part.

When he saw that his two war beasts were fighting furiously with the Three-tailed Aquatic Lizard, he

thought that this was the good timing to get into the water because the lizard was busy. He stealthily

dived into the water from the other side and approached it silently. Looking from the bottom of the

water, Rocky could see that the lizard's body was completely covered by the layer of water film that

provided it with strong defensive power. Its three huge tails were rotating in the water like a propeller

producing strong suction power.

Sure that the three tails were the parts he was looking for, Rocky immediately smirked and swam to the

end of the lizard as quickly as possible. He injected his spiritual power at the ninth grade of the Earthly

Stage into the Frozen Wind Dagger. Instantly, the length of the spiritual light of the dagger transformed

into the long length like a sword's. Trying to do his best, Rocky flung his Dagger hard. The next

moment, the spiritual light of the dagger dashed towards the lizard and cut off one of its huge tails. As a

result, a pale green liquid was gushing out from the cut, contaminating the water in a strange way.

The shooting pain of the lizard who was still floating on the water was reflected in a harsh scream. Its

body was trembling violently and was madly thrashing in the water. Its violent motion made the water of

the pool onrushing. Rocky was too close to the angered lizard and had no time to get away from it.

Thus, he was rolled into the terrifying waves and his whole body was like a puppet in the water.

Suddenly, he was thrown out from the bottom of the pool into the air and showed up exactly on the side

of the lizard.

The enraged lizard did not only roar at Rocky once it saw him, but also hit him with its tails that were This material belongs to .

originally in the water.

Rocky realized that he was in a seriously dangerous situation; however, it was impossible to adjust his

position in the air. Thus, all he could manage to do was gather all his spiritual power to resist the violent

hit. Yet, the lizard's tails hit Rocky so hard that he was forced to fly high into the air. If anyone else was

watching from afar, they would think that Rocky was nothing more than a baseball. The situation kept

getting more complicated because just before Rocky was about to fall into the water, the lizard

gathered a set of water bombs that were twice as big as the original ones and shot all of them towards

him.

His two war beasts, Uriah and Rubygon were not fast enough to help him. If Rocky was hit by the

bombs, he would be badly injured.

Luckily at that critical point, a colorful light shadow appeared and leaped high toward Rocky. Then, he

was put on the back of the light shadow and transferred quickly to the ground at the last minute before

the water bombs could hit him. However, as the shadow landed on the ground too hastily, both Rocky

and the shadow rolled over the ground several times like balls before they stopped.

Everything happened so fast to the extent that Rocky could not digest what had just happened; he was

confused and disoriented. When he finally came back to his senses, he found the Rainbow Glow

Unicorn beside him. Its forelimbs seemed to be sprained and it let out a painful cry. He was surprised to

realize that the unicorn rushed to save him! The Rainbow Glow Unicorn was not fully grown up and it

was relatively weak. Thus, it was a wonder that it could save Rocky at such a dangerous moment!

"Thank you!" Rocky said gratefully as he patted the neck of the unicorn. Then, Rocky immediately

turned and got up because he had to finish what he wanted.

He saw that the lizard, who had lost one of its tails, was slowly retreating into the bottom of the pool

and getting gradually hidden. At that very moment, he realized that its defensive water film

disappeared, so this was the perfect moment to kill the lizard. He certainly would not allow it to flee in

front of him. He immediately gestured to Uriah to come over to him. At the same time, he darted to his

clothes which he took off before he dived into the pool and took the Dragon Flame Pearl out from the

silken bag.

"Spirit Possession!" Rocky bellowed one of his powerful skills, and his eyes popped. This skill could

instantly improve his power because it fused his spirit-manipulated beast into his body. Of course, his

beast would not be harmed. Uriah, who dashed to his side, was instantly turned into a dazzling light

shadow and got integrated with his body.

Soon, Rocky felt like a stream of spiritual power like raging flames was injected into his whole body. As

a result, his strength even reached the peak of the ninth grade of the Earthly Stage, infinitely

approaching the Heavenly Stage. In addition, he found that his own changes were more obvious than

before. He saw that his chest and limbs were all covered with red scales, making him look like a brave

warrior.

Rocky immediately rushed to the edge of the pool and leaped up high into the air. The Dragon Flame

Pearl in his hand instantly shone brightly, like the scorching sun at noon, and then turned into a

meteorite with flame, and quickly fell into the pool.

The Dragon Flame Pearl dived into the vortex before the Three-tailed Aquatic Lizard was totally

immersed in it. After a moment of silence, Rocky saw a flash of red light shining abruptly in the vortex

while the pool was completely boiling.

The following second, a deafening sound rang out without any warning!

A soaring water column, mixed with burning flames, suddenly burst out from the vortex. Then, the

lizard's corpse was seen floating on the water. Rocky had finally defeated the very powerful lizard!

After releasing himself from the Spirit Possession state, he swam into the pool and dragged the lizard's

corpse to the shore. He cut into its belly with his Frozen Wind Dagger. After he cut it open, he saw a

Water Essence Pill at the medium grade, which appeared so glaring due to its constant absorption of

the water essence. This pill was a rare treasure and its efficacy was even stronger than a Dark Heaven

Egg at the medium grade. Rocky finally got what he wanted.

He immediately took it out, put it in his silken bag, and collected the samples of scales, blood and other

parts of the lizard for his gene research. He also collected all its parts that he could sell. It was ironic

that the lizard who had been so furious just a few minutes ago, became an empty corpse!

When everything was finished, Rocky took his two beasts to the side of the Rainbow Glow Unicorn to

check it. Fortunately, it only had one limb sprained. It was such a relief that it was not seriously injured

because Rocky would have felt so guilty. After applying the magical saliva to the sprained part, he used

two wooden strips to hold its sprained foot. This way, the unicorn could manage to walk.

"Let's find a place to rest for a night and set off tomorrow," Rocky said to his beasts when it was almost

dusk. He immediately took his three beasts away. It was a tough day for all of them, so they all needed

to have a good rest.

Rocky found a cave on a mountain shortly after setting out. The cave was not too big, but it was big

enough to accommodate them.

After entering the cave, he kindled a bonfire by using a pile of firewood he had collected along the way.

The three beasts, lying by the fire, soon felt sleepy due to their tiredness and the warmth surrounding

them. Yet, Rocky was not sleepy at all. Watching the sparks which were constantly bursting out from

the firewood, he could not help but drown in his own thoughts. He was envying the beasts that, unlike

him, did not have anything to overthink. He, on the other hand, was thinking about a woman with a

beautiful, peaceful and elegant face. She reminded him of the fragrant lily.

"Lena, how are you doing now?" Rocky couldn't help but murmur to himself with a sentimental tone

filled with endless guilt. Lena was the first woman to shake Rocky's heart. Yet, he hurt her without

intending to do so. He didn't even get a chance to explain to her. His guilt kept torturing him on a daily

basis. Now that he was exiled to the army, he would never find a chance to see her and explain

anything to her.

"Roar!" At that moment, Uriah let out a long howl towards the faint moon out of the cave. Its roar

seemed to reflect its master's feelings. Soon, Uriah and the other two war beasts were sound asleep.

'On a silent and cold night, a sad man is lost in his thoughts, ' Rocky thought teasingly. He couldn't help

but laugh, though.

Soon after, Rocky regained his usual composure and put on his evil look. If you could see him then,

you would say that he looked like a wild wolf that could not be tamed.

"Right, Sheridan has taught me the Mysterious Beast Transformation Skill. I haven't started researching

it yet! It seems that tonight will be another sleepless night for me... I can't even remember the last time I

fell asleep at night!" Rocky said and laughed at himself. The Mysterious Beast Transformation Skill

soon came into his mind. He then immersed himself completely into studying it. All he had to do now

was to force himself to grow stronger, so that he could regain what he originally had.
