Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
Chapter 533 The Dangerous World

A thought struck Rocky. He folded his arms across his chest, looked at Tasha for a few seconds and asked, "By the way, I know that you are going after the Sea Blue Magic Jade, but how will you know if it's actually that which will appear in the Myriad Beasts Ground?"

"How did you know about the Sea Blue Magic Jade?" Hearing Rocky mention the Sea Blue Magic Jade startled Tasha. Logically speaking, only those phoenix spirit manipulators from the Magic Phoenix Empire who had come to the Myriad Beasts Ground knew about it.

"When you came to the Myriad Beasts Ground, I happened to be nearby, so I overheard some of your conversations," replied Rocky honestly. Rocky was looking down to his feet, but he did not look even a bit ashamed of eavesdropping.

"Oh, I see. You were the one who was tailing after us.” Rocky could not gauge Tasha's tone in her response, but he waited for her to say more. Tasha was still taking her time to absorb what Rocky had revealed. Then what Erica had said earlier suddenly dawned on her.

"You haven't answered my question yet. How are you sure it's the Sea Blue Magic Jade?" Rocky leadingly asked, obviously eager to get an answer.

"I can't tell you that. Otherwise, Erica would scold me and hate me for it. It's a secret between us!" Tasha shook her head violently, with her hands and lips tightened.

"Then I guess I will have to 'torture’ you and force you to say it. Well, I do have plenty of time. Let's think about just what I will do to you... Huh, how about I take your clothes off, hang you upside down on the tree, and then apply magical saliva, which madly attracts the spirit-manipulated beast. Are the wild spirit-manipulated beasts around here? When they come, I will cut the rope and watch you fall to the ground as the beasts salivate and eat you up. I can't wait to hear your miserable shrieks...” Rocky rubbed his chin and said with a devilish look.

Tasha trembled after hearing Rocky's words and she stared at him as if he were a monster. It was as if all her blood left her and she was pale as ice. She was already convinced Rocky would do everything he said, maybe even worse. She lifted her head up and winced at the sight of Rocky as she already saw him as a demon.

"If you tell me about what I asked, you won't have to suffer. Aside from that, I can assure you that you will see Erica again." Rocky continued to tempt Tasha.

"Actually, I'm not very clear about that. It comes from my master, the imperial preceptor of the Magic Phoenix Empire. He calculated it by divination, where he has always been very accurate in. That's how we're sure that the one that is going to appear is the Sea Blue Magic Jade!" Thinking she had no other choice, Tasha told Rocky about what she knew.

"So, you are not sure whether this is the Sea Blue Magic Jade or not?" Rocky asked confused and frowning.

Tasha nodded.

The edge of his lips curled a bit and Rocky touched his chin. Then he looked up at Tasha, and a shrewd light flashed through his eyes. "Looks like you have to suffer a little now."

Before Tasha could react, Rocky appeared behind her and sealed her meridians with his spiritual power, making her unable to move. She tried to wiggle her body, but of no use.

"What are you doing?" Finding that she couldn't control her body to move, Tasha shouted at Rocky. "I'm not sure if it really is the Sea Blue Magic Jade that will show up, but there are many other people from your Magic Phoenix Empire. For instance, Erica is a Supernal Stage spirit manipulator. No matter what, your kingdom has a big advantage in taking the treasure. What if it indeed is the Sea Blue Magic Jade, and it happens to be gained by your kingdom? I won't let that happen. I have to keep a chip," Rocky said carefully.

"How dare you threaten Erica and the others with me?” Tasha didn't expect that Rocky, who had been kind enough to save her, should take her as a hostage. It seemed that she was really in a den of evils

"You are a smart girl. It's a pity that you have no idea just how dangerous the world is!" Rocky uttered, grinning. He leaned in, held up Tasha and threw her on Rubygon's back.

"Hey, you nasty rascal! Let go of me!" Tasha screamed and screamed. She tried to struggle against Rocky, but her body would not cooperate. Her body was limp, like a sick animal.

However, Rocky did not pay attention to her pleas. He went on and took two drops of magical saliva, closed his eyes and began to recover his spiritual power.

The battle with the Furious Long-nosed Bear gave him a new understanding of the surplus evil spiritual power Rocky had inside of him. It was repressed by a secret power, as if it was in a container. He realized that the evil spiritual power released from the second layer of seal was like a double-edged sword: although it had a great impact on his body, if he could still control it, he could take advantage of this and add its power to his present strength.

He also realized the necessity to allot some time to study it again. Especially since he was interested to use it to his advantage.

Soon it was twilight. The sky was dark, and the air was cold and quiet.

The spiritual power in Rocky's body had mostly recovered. When he opened his eyes, he saw that Sabina was sitting a few steps away from him, Duchess Silver lying beside her. He stood up and walked to them. He took a look at Sabina and noticed that she was frowning while checking the injury on Duchess Silver's leg.

"What happened?" Rocky asked from behind her.

Hearing a voice coming from behind, Sabina was first stunned. Then she turned her head back slowly. She stared at Rocky coldly and said, "Duchess Silver's leg seems badly hurt. The swelling has not gone down. Can you check it for me?" As she had already witnessed the medical skills of Rocky, she knew that he would be able to tend Duchess Silver's leg injury.

"Let me handle it." Rocky nodded and squatted beside Duchess Silver to take a closer look at the injury.

After a while, he stood up and said to Sabina, "It's not serious. It's just muscle damage, which causes the blood vessels to temporarily become congested. That's why the swelling hasn't gone down. One drop of magical saliva should work and the swelling shall subside by tomorrow.”

"But it looks like it's very uncomfortable,” Sabina whispered worriedly. She thought Duchess Silver was badly beaten. Moreover, she was worried it would also be depressed after everything that had happened.

"Well, I think it definitely feels horrible as it hasn't protected its master well!" Rocky glanced at Duchess Silver and said bitterly.

"What do you mean?" Sabina was confused by what he said.

"When Duchess Silver was hurt, you took it back to the Magic Spiritual Space right away, which is not really a good move. On the contrary, it makes it feel that its master doesn’t trust it," Rocky explained in a very professional manner.

"But it was already injured. If I didn't take it back to the Magic Spiritual Space, how could it fight? Should I have just forced it to continue fighting?" Sabina asked back.

"The purpose of spirit-manipulated beasts is to protect their master. If it cannot protect their master, their existence is meaningless. Just like my Uriah, it won't give up on protecting me even to the last minute. And it is because of this that it can inspire its great potential in critical moments..." Then Rocky gave a sigh. In fact, he just understood this not long ago.

After hearing that, Sabina was silent for a few seconds while glancing worriedly at Duchess Silver as she tried to absorb what Rocky had just told her. However, for her, Duchess Silver was not only her spirit-manipulated beast, but also a good friend who had always been by her side. She did not see Duchess Silver as a servant, but as someone she truly cared for. Sabina didn't want anything bad to happen to it.

They had this sort of pampering relationship. In fact, this was something many spirit manipulators committed to.
