CHAPTER 778 UNKNOWN MYSTERIES
Everything went smoothly on the first day as they hadn't met any powerful wild spirit-manipulated
beasts along the way. At most, they encountered mostly three-star spirit-manipulated beasts and just a
few of them were at the third grade of the four-star level. With the combined strength of Rocky and
Rainbow Glow Unicorn, they had nothing to worry about.
However, by the time the third day in the desert rolled around, their luck seemed to have run out. It was
like everywhere they turned, many spirit-manipulated beasts at the fourth grade of the four-star level
and some wild ones that he had never seen in the desert would welcome them.
Fortunately, Rainbow Glow Unicorn's ability to become invisible protected him from danger during the
most crucial times. It would have been near impossible for him to cross the desert otherwise. Now and
then, he'd feel a pang when he would reminisce his days with Uriah and Rubygon. There was nothing
else he could do but shake his head and try to move on from their death.
Not too long ago, Rocky killed a nine-section sandworm at the third grade of the four-star level and
ended up being a mess because of its highly corrosive acid water vomit. He hadn't gotten farther than a
mile before a ten-meter-long Giant Earthworm Shape Snake emerged from the soft mountains of sand.
A long shadow loomed over the sand as it blocked Rocky and Rainbow Glow Unicorn's way. For every
one of its four heads, a long red tongue poked out and its beady eyes, set against the soft earthworm-
like flesh, lit up as if it saw tasty prey.
"It looks like I have to..." Rocky shook his head and his fist tightened into a ball as he nodded to
Rainbow Glow Unicorn.
Both of them moved in a flash with tacit understanding as they rushed to the left side of the Giant
Earthworm Shaped Snake. Even though the two of them worked in perfect sync together, the Giant
Earthworm Shaped Snake was still not easy to deal with. In order to stop it from reviving, Rocky had to
cut off all of its four heads. More importantly, the Giant Earthworm Shaped Snake rarely went out alone
but in pairs, so another was undoubtedly hiding in the sand. If he stayed a moment longer, he would
have been eaten.
Once he was done killing the first one, Rocky should high-tail out of the Giant Earthworm Shaped
Snake's territory. The beast was very possessive, only hunting within its own territory and it wouldn't
chase after its prey once it was a step too far away.
This wasn't the first time Rocky encountered this beast, so he knew that attempting to fight against two
snakes was digging his own grave.
As soon as Rocky and Rainbow Glow Unicorn began to ran, the Giant Earthworm Shaped Snake let
out a growl and instantly stretched out its long body towards them. Four huge mouths snapped open
and close, seemingly foaming in anger.
Both Rocky and Rainbow Glow Unicorn came to a screeching halt and they surveyed their
surroundings as if they were waiting for something.
Not long after, sand spurted not too far off and another long figure flew towards them.
Two Giant Earthworm Shaped Snakes successfully blocked both sides and left Rocky and Rainbow
Glow Unicorn with no way out.
"Foodie!" Rocky called out and the Rainbow Glow Unicorn's whole body began to glow brightly in
rainbow light and colorful clouds rose on its forehead.
Rocky pressed a hand against Rainbow Glow Unicorn's forehead and when the snakes jumped to
attack, they disappeared without a trace.
"Bang!" The two snakes collided in midair and a low hissing sound left them as they both crashed onto
the ground.
Meanwhile, Rocky suddenly appeared behind them and stabbed the closest snake with the Frozen
Wind Dagger, carving out a piece of flesh out of the soft skin.
The stabbed snake writhed in pain and its long tail swung towards Rocky with great force.
A wicked grin flashed across Rocky's face before he disappeared once more in the next moment.
Both Rocky and Rainbow Glow Unicorn reappeared several hundred of meters away from the snakes.
"Thank you. Without you, I'm afraid I wouldn't make it across the desert." Rocky sighed and smiled at
Rainbow Glow Unicorn that stood beside him.
Every time they encountered a spirit-manipulated beast at the fourth grade of the four-star level, Rocky
would use the Mysterious Beast Transformation Skill to utilize Rainbow Glow Unicorn's ability to
become invisible and escape. However, it had some unavoidable side effects so all Rainbow Glow
Unicorn could do was whinny tiredly.
"Tired? Why not return to the Magic Spiritual Space and have a rest?" Rocky offered and opened the
Magic Spiritual Space once he finished talking, quickly sending Rainbow Glow Unicorn back.
Once done, he walked on alone.
On the night of the fourth day, after he climbed over a sand dune, Rocky found that the seemingly
boundless sea of sand disappeared and an endless sea of stones from the south to the north replaced
it instead. Every stone was gigantic and blocked out the furious sun as it towered into the sky in various
seemingly natural forms. However, Rocky could tell that within the sea of stones was an aura far
stronger than that of a human spirit manipulator.
In case something popped up, Rocky slowly walked through the sea of stones and kept an eye on his C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
surroundings at all times. However, it seemed to be unnecessary anxiety because he reached the end
of the sea of stones and nothing happened. Only the night wind and perpetual darkness enveloped
him.
A dark abyss welcomed Rocky and no matter how much he squinted, he couldn't see anything within. It
was almost as if the rest of the world fell into the abyss and the mere thought of it made fear race down
anyone's spine.
Rocky gasped in astonishment at the sight and even though he imagined it before, he had never felt so
horrible even when he went to the Myriad Beasts Ground.
At that moment, Rocky felt that the abyss contained countless secrets and mysteries within.
