CHAPTER 959 THE MEMBERS OF THE WOOD CLAN
"How long was I out this time?" Alyssa asked Rocky, her voice raspy from disuse. She was
embarrassed, for she had fainted two times in his presence. And every time she fainted, it was in a
compromising situation and a feast for his eyes, which he never failed to take advantage of.
"You've been sleeping for about six hours," Rocky calculated roughly.
"That long?" Alyssa narrowed her eyes in displeasure, both at herself and Rocky, then asked, "How are
you feeling now?"
"I feel all right," Rocky answered simply. He felt well enough at the moment, and besides, he had
thought about the situation in his body while she was unconscious. He found that after he broke
through to the Supernal Stage, his whole body had changed greatly, and the veins that could contain
spiritual power had also become wider than before. It allowed him to use both the evil spiritual power
and the Fire spiritual power at the same time, smoothly and freely.
Alyssa nodded at his answer with a satisfied expression, as she was pleased that her efforts had paid
off. She patted herself free of dust and dirt, as she said, "It's almost time for us to see grandma."
"Okay," Rocky answered as he stood up.
Just as the two of them were about to leave, a strong earthquake suddenly occurred in the
northeastern part of the Spiritual Pasture Valley. Everyone in the valley could easily feel it.
"What's going on?" Rocky turned to Alyssa and asked.
"I don't know. Earthquakes rarely occur here in the Spiritual Pasture Valley, and it had never been so
severe before. It seems to be centered at the northeast, and that place is..." Alyssa seemed to think of
something and her face turned serious. She flew down from the tree house and summoned her spiritual
beast.
"Come on," Alyssa shouted at Rocky.
Hearing the alarm in her voice, he readily jumped after her and landed on her spiritual beast.
Then, under Alyssa's tight control, the spiritual beast flew to the northeastern part of the Spiritual This content belongs to NĂ´/velDra/ma.Org .
Pasture Valley.
Soon after, Rocky began to feel something strange. At the same time, the dragon-shaped jade hanging
on his chest started warming up, until it became scorching hot as if it was sensing something.
"What's in front of us?" Rocky turned to Alyssa and asked.
"It is the Mysterious Cave. Just like the Magic Spiritual Spring, it is also one of the forbidden areas of
the Spiritual Pasture Valley. And the reason that this cave is a forbidden area is that there is an ancient
spiritual beast that is sealed deep inside," Alyssa answered, her voice hesitant as if she did not want to
tell him the truth at first.
"An ancient spiritual beast?" Rocky was shocked because he had read the Beast Encyclopedia and
knew that Soul-shadow Beasts were refined from the souls of ancient spiritual beasts at the very
beginning. Since the ancient spiritual beasts became extinct, few Soul-shadow Beasts existed.
However, he didn't expect that there would be an ancient spiritual beast sealed in a forbidden area of
the Wood Clan.
"According to the records of the spiritual race, the first nine guardian beasts were transformed from the
nine most powerful ancient spiritual beasts in the world at that time. That is why they are also called the
legendary guardian beasts. Later, all the clans of the spiritual race were obsessed with capturing
ancient spiritual beasts. But the ancient spiritual beasts were very powerful and difficult to transform, so
the spiritual race came up with the idea of extracting the souls of the ancient spiritual beasts and
refining them into Soul-shadow Beasts. However, the success rate of refining the Soul-shadow Beasts
was very low, and the ancient spiritual beasts gradually disappeared in the world. At last, the spiritual
race had to give up this crazy behavior and turn to capture the descendants of the ancient spiritual
beasts, namely the supernatural beasts, and transform them into the guardian beasts," Alyssa narrated
with a soft voice and a certain amount of reverence, no doubt because it was a secret history of the
spiritual race.
"That's how Soul-shadow Beasts appear. In theory, the Soul-shadow Beasts should be more powerful
than the guardian beasts, right?" Rocky asked. He didn't know much about the origin of the spiritual
race's guardian beasts and the Soul-shadow Beasts before, so he may have learned some wrong
information about them. But now, he knew that the ancient spiritual beasts could be regarded as the
ancestors of powerful beasts. And the legendary guardian beasts were transformed from the nine most
powerful ancient spiritual beasts.
"Yes, Soul-shadow Beasts are indeed more powerful than the guardian beasts, especially the Soul
Beast. It is said that the strongest Soul Beast can compete with the legendary guardian beast of the
spiritual race. However, the Soul-shadow Beasts were deemed extinct, along with the ancient spiritual
beasts a long time ago," Alyssa explained, nodding at Rocky.
His lips curled into a smile when he heard that, just like a cat that had caught the canary after a long
hunt. The Soul-shadow Beasts were not extinct. Several Soul-shadow Beasts still existed in the Myriad
Spirit Tomb, and one of them was a Soul Beast.
"But why is an ancient spiritual beast sealed in your clan?" Rocky asked curiously.
"I don't know. This beast has been sealed for hundreds of years. It is said that it descended from the
sky and killed a lot of clansmen of the Wood Clan. In the end, it was caught by several spiritual
masters, and they extracted its spiritual soul and sealed its body," Alyssa replied.
"So what is sealed in this cave is an ancient spiritual beast without a soul? But if they already took its
soul, why didn't they just destroy its body? Why did they seal it?" Rocky was puzzled. He was curious
to see what an ancient spiritual beast looked like without its soul.
"Although this ancient spiritual beast doesn't have a soul, its body still contained a strong power inside
it. None of the spiritual masters could find a way to destroy it, so they had no choice but to seal it in the
end," Alyssa replied.
"I want to see what this ancient spiritual beast looks like," Rocky couldn't help but say.
"Don't even think about it. This cave is a forbidden area. You can't just enter it because you want to.
Just give up the idea, okay?" Alyssa glared at Rocky, but she was also worried about him. The
Mysterious Cave was not only a forbidden area, but it was also very dangerous.
In response, Rocky just shrugged indifferently as if he got bored with the topic.
"The earthquake was very strange, so let's go and check it out first. If there is nothing unusual, we can
go back to see grandma," Alyssa continued.
While the two of them were talking, Alyssa's spiritual beast had flown to the area where the earthquake
occurred. When Rocky looked down, he saw a large pit on the ground, as if the ground had been hit by
a meteorite. The pit looked so deep that it appeared bottomless.
At this moment, the entire pit and the surroundings were still shaking violently, as if they were affected
by some kind of power.
"The pit below is the Mysterious Cave where the ancient spiritual beast is sealed. But what happened
here? Why is it shaking so violently?" Alyssa asked in surprise, as she gazed down at the pit.
At this time, many clansmen of the Wood Clan flew over from another direction. Most of them were
spiritual slaves, and only a few in the lead were ordinary spiritual beings.
