CHAPTER 539 STRANGE BUILDING
The mist in front of Rocky seemed to have outlines of building facades. From the south to the north,
they formed an endless view in perspective. It looked magnificent and symbolized an unknown
civilization.
"We are here. The treasure is in front of us. Finally!" He heard an alarming scream from the nearby
area. It sounded unfamiliar.
In no time Rocky saw the fog with flashes of figures around him. He guessed that they were a lot of
spirit manipulators rushing towards the area. It was like an unclear hazardous scene as all their spirits
were uncontrollable.
"This is my treasure. Nobody dares to take it from me. I own it," yelled a spirit manipulator. Before long,
greedy voices sounded.
"Damn it! The treasure is ours..."
"Who the hell are you? How can you acquire what is ours?"
After a while sounds of fighting came from all directions. It was dark and scary.
Those spirit manipulators had already killed each other for the treasure without even knowing what it
was. They wanted to establish their power and take away the treasure.
Acquiring the treasure would elevate their power and they wanted it at any cost.
There were also many people with their spirit-manipulated beasts rushing forward. In an instant figures
in the dim fog kept flickering and moving in the direction of the strange light. It was a hay wire scene.
"At this time it's better to keep a low profile. Stay calm," said Rocky. A sly smile crept up on Rocky's
face. Then he sent Uriah and Rubygon into the Magic Spiritual Space to check the situation.
Taking a look at Tasha who was following him closely, he said, "Come with me if you want to see Erica.
I shall take you to her safely." After that they rushed forward immediately.
Tasha knew it was very dangerous to stay there as spirit-manipulators were wandering wildly. But she
didn't know where Erica was now. The best option was to stay with Rocky as he was brave enough to
protect her and take her safely to Erica.
"Wait for me...wait I'm coming," said Tasha. She immediately followed up Rocky with a girlish cry.
Along the way there were several bloody spirit manipulators. There were also warriors who desperately
tried to block the two. But the result was pretty obvious.
After a while, the outline of the buildings in front of Rocky gradually became clear. It was like the scene
of human living. Most of the buildings were made of flat grey stones surrounded by each other which
made them look like a small town. The buildings were arranged in clusters with narrow routes.
All the buildings were destroyed and went deep into the sand with time. There were only some
dilapidated buildings which barely remained. The buildings had central entrances with a front yard. The
stones were slipping down gradually. However from the present scene it could be imagined that they
must have been a brilliant architectural masterpiece with an ancient history.
After a while, Rocky realized the central location of the building cluster. There was a magnificent
building at the top of the steps and that was where the light came from. The light gleamed into Rocky's
eyes from inside the building.
'That's strange. Where are the people from the Magic Phoenix Empire and the Elite Regiment? Have
they already gone upstairs?' wondered Rocky. He looked around and didn't find any strong aura of the This material belongs to .
spirit manipulator. He just saw some ineffective and worthless troops fighting with each other.
Now that these weak spirit manipulators had come, it was highly possible that those of the Magic
Phoenix Empire and the Elite Regiment had already been one step ahead as they were the most
powerful among all.
"Erica might have already gone upstairs. We need to catch up," said Rocky by taking a look at Tasha.
"Of course! They will get the Sea Blue Magic Jade," said Tasha arrogantly. She gestured with
superiority by forgetting that she was still a hostage. Tasha always spoke her mind out in wrong
situations, out of immaturity.
"That's great! By then I can exchange you for the Sea Blue Magic Jade. What an opportunity!" said
Rocky frivolously. He hoped that the spirit manipulators of the Magic Phoenix Empire could get the Sea
Blue Magic Jade. In that case he wouldn't have to face many troubles. He hoped for the best and
wanted things to be at ease.
"Humph! Erica won't exchange the treasure with you! She is stubborn as you may know," said Tasha
with a frown.
"If Erica doesn't want you then I can only take you back to be my wife," said Rocky trying to frighten
her.
"Shame on you! I don't want to be your wife. I am a grown up and I can take care of myself," replied
Tasha. Upon hearing this, her face turned red again.
"It's not up to you. You can do nothing at that time. Be aware!" said Rocky teasingly.
"You..." Tasha was speechless. Since she clearly knew that she could neither persuade him not nor
defeat him in strength, she had no choice but to hold back.
"But you are such a lovely girl. If I were Erica, I wouldn't let you suffer for just getting a piece of the Sea
Blue Magic Jade," said Rocky. Then he continued to move towards the building on the top.
Seeing this Tasha immediately followed him like a little girl.
Soon they were shrouded in mist. The steps were tall and long. At a glance, one could see that it cost a
lot of manpower and resources to build the steps. On the top of the steps was a very magnificent
building with intriguing architecture. It was tall like a castle and had peaked shrines.
Rocky felt that this place was very ancient and mysterious. It should have a prominent history of at
least a few years or even thousands of years. The magnificence showed that only an outstanding
person would be able to live in the Myriad Beasts Ground.
Rocky was fascinated and wanted to know more. Then he took Tasha to the top of the stairs.
After walking for a while they saw many injured spirit manipulators along with corpses. It seemed that
they had just gone through a fierce battle and there were many spirit manipulators of clans. The ground
was bloody and destroyed.
"It seems that they have already gone upstairs. We will have to confirm," said Rocky coldly to himself.
Rocky picked up his pace. Although he had originally planned to observe calmly, if the person who got
the Sea Blue Magic Jade was not from the Magic Phoenix Empire but the other countries or the Elite
Regiment, his chip would be useless. He decided to play it by ear and gradually try to figure out the
situation.
Rocky doubted whether Sabina had reached there before him. She was known for her bravery and fast
action.
After a long time they finally reached the top of the stairs. Tasha was hiding behind him reluctantly. She
was gasping for breath with sweat dripping all over her body. Tasha was in shock and couldn't do
anything.
The magnificent building stood on the top of the steps. Though it was covered with mist, it looked like a
temple used for sacrifice in ancient times. The whole building was covered with moss and vines which
twisted around each other. The mist was looming making it mysterious.
At that instant, Rocky clearly felt the strong spiritual power that the grand building was releasing. He
was amused by its massiveness and magic.
Suddenly several figures and shadows flashed and stood in front of Rocky and Tasha. They were
stunned for a moment.
Rocky looked coldly at the men who were standing in front of them. They were wearing clothes that
were embroidered with snowflakes. By judging their appearance, he assumed that they must be some
spirit manipulators of clans. They seemed to have come with vicious purpose to destroy or to acquire
something.
