CHAPTER 338 MINOR VICTORY

The Fly-eye Adder was about to attack Rocky who had no more branches to escape to. However, he

purposely fell down the ancient tree and caused the Fly-eye Adder to barely miss him.

The branches that had fallen in the marsh were scattered all over it. Rocky fell on one of these

branches.

As Rocky got up from the branch, he whistled to the beasts on the other side of the marsh and directed

Uriah mentally. He leaped along the branches until he got closer and closer to the opposite side of the

marsh.

The branches could not last long on the surface of the marsh and had begun to sink. Rocky did not

have enough time to cross before they all sank.

The other Fly-eye Adder that was waiting at the root of the tree chased Rocky once he fell down. Its

approach hit some branches along the way and flung them into the air.

Rocky took out his bottle with a drop of magical saliva from his silk bag. He carried this bottle

everywhere in case he needed to attract any wild beasts. He opened the bottle and tossed the magical

saliva up in the air.

The Fly-eye Adder was attracted immediately by the unique aura of the magical saliva and hesitated for

a second.

Rocky used this moment of distraction and jumped on the branches that had fallen from the adder's

attack. He used these branches to cross the marsh.

Rocky hastily jumped from branch to branch, he timed his jumps just before the branches sank.

When he was a few feet from the opposite side, another adder rushed at Rocky. It snapped the branch

under his feet and sent him flying across the sky.

Rocky lost his balance in the air and the Fly-eye Adder geared up for another attack, its filthy mouth

opened wide. Rocky released his spiritual power, but it missed the adder. This mistake caused him to

be vulnerable to the adder's attack because it left him no time for any defensive moves.

At a disadvantage, Rocky pulled out the Frozen Wind Dagger immediately and planned to fight. But he

couldn't utilize his power in the air without any support. He was about to be the meal of the Fly-eye

Adder.

All of a sudden, a swift fire-ball hit the unsuspecting adder.

It hissed painfully and slithered away.

Uriah was standing by the marsh with two flaming tails that were still smoking. The flaming ball had

come from it.

A huge bang sounded as the tree opposite them fell down. It had stood over twenty meters tall, its huge

trunk created a big splash and paved a road for Rocky.

Rubygon and Rainbow Glow Unicorn were standing at the end of the fallen tree, full of excitement. It's

evident that they worked together to knock down the tree.

Rocky landed on the dense trunk safely. After it swallowed the whole bottle, the adder broke into a

heavy rush toward Rocky. The injured adder had recovered, angered by the flaming ball. Both adders

rushed aggressively towards Rocky who was standing on the trunk.

Rocky didn't want to fight with these two adders. He had gotten the blue spiritual crystal and needed to

escape as fast as he could. He raised his hands and released a force of the ninth grade of the Earthly

Stage spiritual power. The power condensed into a nebula of light and rushed out.

Poof! Poof! Poof!

The nebula's light broke into the marsh and thick mud splashed up into the air. The mud was a great

diversion and it blocked the view of the adders. When the adders flew through the mud and reached

the trunk, Rocky had already disappeared.

Rocky reappeared nearby the beasts. He seemed to be unharmed but he was a mess with mud on his

clothes.

The two Fly-eye Adders were furious and made chaos in the marsh. Since they couldn't come up to the

land, the adders could not do anything. Rocky left along with the blue spiritual crystal and his beasts.

On Marin's side, she had stayed up for two days without any action. They had checked repeatedly and

she was now sure that the troops camped in Rough Slope numbered only five thousand soldiers

without any backup. Thus, she deployed her troops immediately.

Marin had camped there before and she knew very well where the weakest defensive spot was. She All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

dispatched three troops and launched a surprise attack. One troop was led by Deputy Commander

Chen. They went to the army provisions warehouse of the military camp and set ablaze their enemy's

army provisions.

When they found out that their army provision warehouse was attacked, Timber Deity troops

assembled two thousand forces against Deputy Commander Chen.

At the same time, Marin led a troop against their base. She was joined by another troop and they

attacked the weakest defensive spot as one.

It was a testament that a fierce war was coming soon.

Night fell. Fire and smoke could be seen in all directions of the military camp in Rough Slope. Corpses

and blood were everywhere, while those who were injured loitered around.

"Commander, their remaining force has retreated south. Should we pursue them?" Marin looked up at

Deputy Commander Chen's question.

"No. We have a lot of casualties too. If we pursue them and they receive backup, we will be in a

disadvantage. We will take over the Rough Slope. Send messages to our main camp and inform the

Deputy Commander in Chief that we have taken back the Rough Slope," Marin ordered. Her tone was

sure and strong despite the exhaustion she felt.

Although she had succeeded in her campaign and they were able to take back the slope, Marin felt that

something unusual was going on. It seemed that the Timber Deity Empire didn't plan to hold the field in

the first place. They were too lax and had given up too easily. Her brows furrowed in confusion. 'Were

they just careless? What was their true intention?'
