CHAPTER 513 CHASING IN A HURRY

As Rocky peered at the brain of the wild spirit-manipulated beast, he noticed that it was lobed. He

proceeded to test every lobe on the brain, to confirm the functions of each lobe. He concluded that it

functioned very similarly to that of a human's.

The frontal lobe in a human brain has an important role in controlling human's behaviors, thoughts, and

so on. If the frontal lobes were damaged, people's thoughts, behaviors, and their self-controlling Content held by .

abilities would be greatly affected. In the modern world, some mental patients or patients with other

recurring diseases would be treated by slicing off their frontal lobe. However, once the lobes were cut

off, they would lose their own thoughts and free consciousness--whatever made them human. This

meant they would live like the walking dead for the rest of their time on this world.

Although there were still differences between a beast's brain and human brain, the spirit-manipulated

beasts had their own kind of intelligence. Which would explain why their brains— from the lobes to the

lobes' functions— were similar to human brains.

After certain tests, Rocky soon was able to pinpoint the specific lobe in the spirit-manipulated beast's

brain which acted like a frontal lobe in a human brain.

Then, Rocky cut off this part of lobe to test if doing so produced a similar effect as that in humans— the

loss of thought and consciousness.

However, he couldn't sever the lobe completely. Once completely severed, the functions of some other

lobes were very likely to be affected. Because the lobes worked in harmony through the nervous

system, Rocky postulated that if he were to cut off a lobe completely, the system would go haywire—

and worse, the beast could lose control and go ballistic.

So, the solution: cut off half of the lobe, leaving the rest of the nervous system undisturbed. However,

this required extremely advanced surgical skills.

Of course, this was easy for Rocky. He picked up the scalpel and pointed it at the part he was to make

an incision. He paused for a second, took a deep breath, and quickly but precisely swiped at the lobe.

He immediately picked up the part that was cut off with some tweezers, and dropped it into a container

filled with water.

After completing the surgery, Rocky sutured the opening on the head of the wild spirit-manipulated

beast.

Rocky proceeded to the next spirit-manipulated beast. He performed the exact same routine on each

one. While the brain structure of each beast differed— of course, he expected this— Rocky remained

unfazed and continued on. He knew that any research on the brain of wild spirit-manipulated beast

integral to the betterment of gene research. So, experiments like this was imperative.

A day passed in a twinkle of an eye.

When he finally emerged from the Magic Spiritual Space, night had already fallen. It was unusually

quiet. There was only the sound of leaves rustling and the occasional beastly howl. A bonfire crackled

nearby, and sparks danced off it like fireflies. Duchess Silver was stretching lazily; its owner was under

a tree on the other side, her eyes closed, as if she was still practicing.

Studying Sabina's still figure, Rocky had to admit that she was a beauty indeed. With delicate and

beautiful facial features, she looked dainty and charming. He found her to be as attractive as a fairy

outside the mortal world, with her own kind of special charm. And she was as cold as an ice princess,

which seemed to draw people towards her, albeit in fear.

While Rocky was immersed in appreciating her beauty, a weird light suddenly flashed from the direction

of the Myriad Beasts Ground. It was as blue as the sea, as though a pillar of water was shooting up

from a geyser. He suddenly sensed a unique spiritual power approaching him.

Rocky was a bit unsettled at all this. He knew this was unusual.

Sabina, who had been practicing, seemed to have felt something as her eyes shot open. Her eyes

widened in surprise at the sight of the ice blue light piercing the sky, pointing in the direction of the

Myriad Beasts Ground.

"What happened?" Sabina asked, scrambling to stand up.

"I don't know," Rocky shrugged, shaking his head. Although he had been around the Myriad Beasts

Ground for some time, this was his first time witness such a surreal scene.

"I wonder if there is a treasure that's about to appear," Sabina pondered aloud.

"Treasure?" Rocky's eyes lit up eagerly at her words. A long time ago, he had journeyed to the Spiritual

Fairyland upon hearing about surreal happenstances and the appearance of spiritual beasts in there. It

was during this time he got the Heaven Divine Lotus Seed, forming a special bond with the Rainbow

Glow Unicorn.

However, the Spiritual Fairyland could not even be compared with the Myriad Beasts Ground. If

treasure truly awaited them there, then it would be something extremely precious.

"Perhaps it is a rare treasure, or a precious spiritual treasure that only reveals itself once every few

years." Sabina scratched her chin. She knew that because the beam pointed towards the Myriad

Beasts Ground, this would be no ordinary treasure. After all, the land of the Myriad Beasts Ground was

very dangerous. It was known to have many mysteries within it, so no one could tell for sure what sort

of hidden treasures lay within.

Just then, Rocky felt something emerge from the opened Magic Spiritual Space, but it just as quickly

disappeared in the dark in the blink of an eye.

"That guy..." Rocky knew the presence felt familiar. It had to be the Rainbow Glow Unicorn. But he

knew it would only appear if something truly precious lay ahead. After all, it was the first time the

Rainbow Glow Unicorn came and went in such a hurry.

"What did you say?" Sabina asked, unable to decipher Rocky's murmur.

"Nothing," Rocky said hastily. "Let's go to have a look." Of course, he didn't want to leave the Rainbow

Glow Unicorn alone in a quest to look for the treasure.

"Let's go take a look? This is the Myriad Beasts Ground we're talking about— it's famed for being full of

danger. Don't take sacrifice your life for your curiosity!" Sabina shouted coldly.

"You're coming with me, aren't you? I think it would be much safer if we held hands," Rocky responded

nonchalantly.

Sabina paused, turning to look at the ice blue light that pierced the sky. She was admittedly curious,

too. However, the Myriad Beasts Ground wasn't a place that could be entered on a whim, and even for

her, the slightest carelessness might end in her demise.

"Well, I'm going even if you aren't," Rocky declared firmly. He was worried that the Rainbow Glow

Unicorn had run too far away for him to catch up, so he summoned Rubygon and Uriah to leave with

him at once. He climbed on Rubygon's back and chased the Rainbow Glow Unicorn, using its scent as

a lead.

"Hey!" Sabina cried, but Rocky was already out of earshot at that point. Without further hesitation,

Sabina summoned Duchess Silver and hurried after him.
