Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
Chapter 991 Inside The Fire Wave Mountain

Alyssa glanced at the emperor of the Timber Deity Empire for his opinion.

"Let's go back," the emperor said. He took a look at all of the princes before turning away.

Then, together Alyssa and two elders, he left the beast arena, escorted by the guards in silver and gold armor.

Four of the princes also quickly left the beast arena with their own people, leaving only Geoffrey and Woods behind.

"I didn't expect the emperor to choose a successor so soon. I wanted to compete with you and give you some chances, but now it seems that I can't." Geoffrey smiled with feigned sincerity.

"Same here. See you three days later, brother.” Woods smiled back gently in response. Then, squinting his eyebrows as if he had just remembered something, he said, "By the way, when you go back, don't forget to send the contract of ceding the three cities to my mansion. I'll treat it as a gift from you."

Upon hearing this, Geoffrey's face darkened. He snorted coldly and left the beast arena with Alexander and the others

At this moment, Rocky, Lucas, and the others returned to the viewing platform.

Woods took a deep breath and turned to them. “Let's go to my mansion.” There were only three days left before they went to hunt the spiritual treasure, which meant that they only had three days to prepare to go to the Hell of Dragon Fang. Therefore, they had to discuss the matter as soon as possible.

Rocky and the others followed Woods back to his mansion.

Once they had all settled down in the hall, they began to discuss the details of the trip, such as which equipment and assistants they were going to bring, as well as what measures they would use to deal with potential problems.

Rocky didn't say a word during the whole discussion. As someone who was used to acting alone, hunting the spiritual treasure with a team felt foreign to him. Moreover, the time limit to complete this task was a month. If they was lucky, they could finish the task in advance. But if they couldn't finish it in a month, he would have to postpone his return to the Holy Dragon Empire.

In most aspects, he was already ready to leave the Timber Deity Empire. With Alyssa's help, he had successfully integrated the evil power sealed in the third layer and broken through to the third grade of the Supernal Stage, which put him on par with his brother, Alston. Therefore, he could return to the Holy Dragon Empire without fear.

Rocky's silence didn't go unnoticed by Woods. Of course, Woods knew what was on Rocky's mind, so he politely asked Lucilla, Lucas, and the others to take a break in the rooms he had arranged for them. They could continue to discuss the matter later.

After that, he met Rocky alone in the pavilion by the lake.

"Are you going back to the Holy Dragon Empire?" he asked, cutting to the chase.

Rocky merely nodded in response.

"I knew it. Now that your strength is on par with Alston's, it's time for you to go back. I know that with your personality, you definitely won't allow him to wait to inherit the throne in peace,” Woods said with a hint of pride and appreciation in his voice. As a prince himself, he could understand Rocky's thoughts. After all, he had personally witnessed Rocky being framed and killed by his own brother. If Geoffrey did this to him, he would definitely want to go back for revenge. Therefore, even though he wished that Rocky would stay, he couldn't bring himself to say anything to stop him. But at such a crucial time, losing Rocky would definitely be like losing an arm.

"Don't worry. I promised you that I will help you, and I won't go back on my word. I will go to the Hell of Dragon Fang...but I will go there alone. I am more experienced in treasure hunting than the others. If I go alone, there will be a much better chance of me finding the treasure.” In fact, Rocky had thought about it for a long time. He really wanted to go back to the Holy Dragon Empire right away, but he also didn't want to break his promise to Woods. Besides, he needed Woods’ help as well. On top of that, the deadline that he had agreed upon with Alyssa hadn't arrived yet. Right now, the best course of action for him was to go to the Hell of Dragon Fang alone to search for the spiritual treasure. With the help of the treasure hunting master, Ken, he believed that it would not be difficult to find the spiritual treasure.

Moreover, he could also take this opportunity to collect the genetic samples of other species of spirit-manipulated beasts in the Hell of Dragon Fang, and also collect their blood essence to feed Uriah's egg. And while he was there, he could also continue to train Robin and Ken. This way, he could kill several birds with one stone.

Upon hearing Rocky's words, Woods smiled brightly in relief. “I'm glad to hear that. I think that it's better for you to act alone, too. With your strength and your three spirit-manipulated beasts, it won't be too dangerous for you to enter the Hell of Dragon Fang alone. Besides, I also believe you'll have a higher chance of finding the spiritual treasure that way. You've always had good luck.” "Exactly." Rocky smiled lightly, pleased by how well Woods understood him.

"However, I'm curious about what exactly the spiritual treasure is. Why is it such a difficult task to complete? I feel like there's more to it than what Alyssa told us,” Woods said in a perplexed tone. He had been able to tell the importance of the spiritual treasure from Alyssa's words, but she had also mentioned that no one even knew what the spiritual treasure looked like. It was shrouded in mystery.

"You can ask your sister yourself. If there's nothing else, I'll leave now. I'll be back in three days." Rocky had a few important things to do before going to the Hell of Dragon Fang, so he turned around and left at once.

After leaving Woods’ mansion, he headed to the Fire Wave Mountain, ready to refine the spiritual crystal for three days and three nights. The spiritual crystal had absorbed spiritual energy.

When he arrived at the Fire Wave Mountain, he saw that, save for some heat-resistant plants, the ground around the mountain was almost bare. The cliff rock was steep and very dangerous.

Rocky immediately summoned Ken and flew around the mountain. Once he landed at the entrance, he sent Ken back into the Magic Spiritual Space and summoned Robin instead.

Then, he gathered his spiritual power to protect himself. The air outside the mountain was scorching, so he had no doubt that the inside of the mountain would feel like a furnace.

Sure enough, after walking for a while, Rocky felt waves of heat hit him, making him feel like his skin was burning. The inside of the mountain was really hot, just like a big steamer.
