The Medallion

Chapter 1015 Catch Up From Behind

"I know you have doubts about me, and you are suspicious about my motives for being here. But if you have any ounce of trust in me, please do as I say. Of course, I won't hurt you or make things difficult for you, even if you give the whole spiritual treasure to the Timber Deity Empire behind my back. You may not believe me, but you are one of the reasons that I am doing this. Keeping this Mysterious Raw Gemstone will be beneficial for you too. Who knows? Maybe you will need it at a critical moment someday, and it could save your life," the woman from the spiritual race explained lengthily. Amazingly, she was able to address most of Rocky's concerns as if she had seen through his mind.

"Since you have given me a choice, allow me to think about it for a while. However, I have one question. How did you know that there is a hidden power in my body? Is it because you touched me before?" Rocky asked with a frown.

"I'm afraid you have too many questions, and I don't have the time to answer them one by one. If you have any other requests, tell me now," the woman said impatiently. Rocky was quiet for a while, as he thought about his options.

"Can I have a drop of blood essence from you and your guardian beast?" he asked.

"Mine and my beast's blood essence? What are you going to do with that?" the beauty from the spiritual race asked in confusion.

"Nothing important. I just need them for something." Rocky thought that it was better if she didn't know the particulars.

It seemed that she was in a hurry because she didn't ask any more questions. Instead, she promptly disappeared as soon as the word passed from Rocky's lips. She reappeared a moment later with two drops of sweet dewdrops in each hand. She handed the blood essence in the dewdrops immediately to Rocky.

"Are you satisfied now?" The beauty of the spiritual race looked at Rocky.

"Yes. Well... Almost." Rocky was not a greedy person, but the beautiful woman from the spiritual race was willing to do whatever he wanted. He had a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in front of him, so he would not dare waste it by being reckless and impulsive.

The woman seemed to understand his intention, for she reached out and handed him the gemstone that Rocky had taken. "Put away this Mysterious Raw Gemstone first," she instructed.

After Rocky got it from her, he opened the Magic Spiritual Space and called Robin. Then, he asked it to take the Mysterious Raw Gemstone to the laboratory.

"Has your spirit-manipulated beast eaten anything so that it has the qualification of a guardian beast?" the woman asked curiously. She was eyeing Robin intently, not taking her eyes off until the beast had left.

"Yes. It has taken a magic pill I found by accident before, and after that, it has evolved into its current status," Rocky said frankly, as he had no intention of covering up Robin's strength.

"Was it the Spirit Purification and Transformation Pill? Wow, you are quite lucky that you found a Spirit Purification and Transformation Pill. That kind of pill is usually used by the spiritual race to evolve the supernatural beasts into the guardian beasts. Even though it could also transform regular spirit- manipulated beasts, we rarely do so. That is because it would take at least ten years to refine a Spirit Purification and Transformation Pill, which is completed by collecting materials to the refining stage. It would be a pity to use such a rare and hard-won pill on regular spirit-manipulated beasts. Moreover, only a being from the spiritual race who is above a high-grade ordinary spiritual being can refine the Spirit Purification and Transformation Pill. Therefore, it is a rare treat even for the spiritual race. And for the human spirit manipulators, it is priceless." The beauty's eyes lit up while she talked about the pill to Rocky.

"Really?" Rocky didn't expect that the magic pill he had found in the Myriad Spirit Tomb was a very rare treasure, even for the spiritual race.

"They are coming." While they were talking, the pleased smile on the woman's face was quickly replaced by alertness, as she gazed at where the others were. Suddenly, she threw the other half of the spiritual treasure, which was the cyan wooden frame without the Mysterious Raw Gemstone, to Rocky. Then, she hit Rocky on his chest with a strong force.

He felt the powerful thrust lift him at once, and he was thrown back and slammed against the stone wall of the flame mountain behind him. Anyone who saw that would think he got hurt, but to his surprise, he wasn't hurt at all.

Meanwhile, Alyssa and several peerless masters at the Divine Stage came just in time to see Rocky, as he was hurled away by the woman. They had retreated from the flame mountain and were about to regroup outside when they came upon the shocking scene.

"Are you okay?" Alyssa immediately flew to Rocky's side. At the same time, she looked at the beautiful woman who had hit him, and she recognized that she was from the spiritual race at once.

She stared down the woman from the spiritual race, who smiled out of the blue. Then, Alyssa heard her voice through their telepathic link, "I'll take the Mysterious Raw Gemstone. Tell the Wood Clan that they should never think of getting any more spiritual treasures, or I'll rob them every time I see them..." After saying that, she soared into the air like a fairy and instantly disappeared from their sight.

"Sorry, I..." Rocky murmured in a rough voice, pretending to be seriously injured. At that moment, he decided to temporarily believe the words of the beautiful woman from the spiritual race. He would keep their conversation to himself.

"It's not your fault. I was too careless. I didn't expect that there would be a being of the spiritual race lurking here. But which clan of spiritual race is she from?" Since she was in such a hurry earlier, Alyssa

didn't see much of the beautiful woman. She was also too surprised to look at her closely.

"Leave this to me, okay? Don't tell anyone about what happened. This is only between you and me," Alyssa told Rocky seriously. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

He nodded and handed over the incomplete spiritual treasure to Alyssa, and she hastily hid the spiritual treasure into the Magic Spiritual Space.

At this time, the remaining peerless masters at the Divine Stage and the spirit manipulators at the Supernal Stage also came out from the flame mountain, including Lucas and Lucilla.

The two landed on the ground not far away from them, and they were shocked to see both Rocky and Queenie on the ground. Rocky looked like he was injured, but Alyssa was beside him. On the other hand, Queenie seemed to have fainted, so they hurried to her side to check if she was still alive.

Alyssa also went closer to them to help. She nodded after examining her and turned to Lucas and Lucilla.

"She is fine. She just fainted because of some spiritual skill. Her body isn't hurt at all. Don't worry," she said reassuringly. The two could not help but sigh in relief.

"Your Royal Highness, what happened here?"

Lucas asked curiously, looking around the place. But Alyssa only shook her head and said, "Now isn't the time.

Let's talk about it later." Of course, it was because Alyssa didn't want to make a scene, especially when a stranger had just stolen half of the spiritual treasure. If the other princes found out, they would surely make a fuss about it. That would put Woods in a bad light. Therefore, it was better to hide the truth and explain it to the emperor in person.

However, since several masters at the Divine Stage had come at the same time as Alyssa, they also saw the beautiful woman from the spiritual race. Thus, as soon as the treasure hunting teams had retreated out of the flame mountain, the other princes found out about it quickly, and they all went to Alyssa to ask what had happened.

Alyssa kept her explanation short. She only told them that a spiritual race being had attacked Rocky and Queenie, but the spiritual treasure was safe and sound, and she had already put it away.

The princes were skeptical at first. Fortunately, they were too preoccupied with the contest, which Woods must have won because it was Queenie that had snatched the spiritual treasure. Woods' victory meant that he had the highest chance of succeeding the throne. Of course, the other princes didn't want to admit defeat, especially Geoffrey, because he had put in a lot of effort to win the throne. None of them had expected Woods, who was behind them, to catch up.

However, Geoffrey still hated Rocky the most, because he also realized that Rocky must be his nemesis. He thought that ever since Rocky appeared, he had never surpassed Woods. Besides, Woods would never have won today without the help of Rocky, and Queenie was able to grab the spiritual treasure with Rocky's help as well!
