Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
Chapter 131 Attack

While resting to replenish his strength, Rocky used the Frozen Wind Dagger to cut down thickbranches from the forest. Using his knowledge about weaponry, he sharpened each front end oneby one to make a simple spear. He then distributed the branches to Thor and other manipulatorsincluding Zander.

"This is just a broken stick. What harm can it even do?" Zander said with a snort, showing obviousdisinterest in this simple weapon. Undeterred with his companions’ reactions, Rocky said, "You willknow soon enough.” Rocky put on a stern expression and directly inserted the wooden stick on theground in front of Zander. He then quietly stood there, watching the surrounding environmentwarily.

The leaves on the trees around them suddenly moved, making a rustling sound. The once peacefulsurroundings now became violent as the force of the wind continuously increased.

Upon seeing this strange situation, all the spirit manipulators immediately came to realize thatsomething eerie was about to take place, and they could not help but feel wary and terrified.

At the far off distance, Rocky could see something fast and huge coming towards them. "The beastis coming towards us!" Rocky said. He then immediately picked up a torch to illuminate theirsurroundings.

All of a sudden, the spirit manipulators saw a huge shadow that suddenly jumped out from anotherdirection and appeared in front of Zander. Its speed was so fast that Zander could not dodge it intime. The manipulators saw the shadow's eyes glowing crimson. It looked wild and strong, with itshuge arms and legs as powerful as a bear with a height as tall as an average adult. Under thereflection of the bonfire, everyone could vaguely see its body covered with orange fur, and its lowerabdomen looked swollen. The wild beast gave off an indomitable presence, striking fear in thosewho dared challenge it. At this point, it was staring at Zander with malice. The beast slightly gasped,and its eyes were as cold as ice.

Frightened by the sudden appearance of the beast, Zander felt his whole body shivering. His legsquivered and he stood frozen for a long time as his body would not move. He could not yet absorbwhat was happening as his mind had yet to figure out the whole situation.

While the other spirit manipulators were also terrified by the appearance of the beast, they too werein the same predicament as Zander, stunned to stand there without taking any further action.

As Rocky observed the beast, his heart pounded. He was surprised to replace that the breath releasedby it unexpectedly reached the level of Uriah. It must mean that the beast had the strengthequivalent to that of a spirit manipulator at the first grade of the Earthly Stage. Rocky thought it wascertainly a very difficult opponent to deal with.

By this time, the huge shadow had moved and directly jumped towards Zander to land a fierceattack. Startled and feeling a sense of urgency, Zander subconsciously stretched out his hand andgrabbed the spear that Rocky previously inserted on the ground in front of him. He used the stick todefend himself from the beast's attack, but his whole body was pressed to the ground because hecould not resist the huge impact of force from it. The other manipulators saw the beast opening itsbloody mouth with an intention to bite Zander's head.

"What are you all doing? Shoot it! Quickly!" Rocky shouted once he saw Zander frozen in place.Upon hearing Rocky's yell, Thor and the other spirit manipulators finally came back to their senses.They quickly picked up the sharp spears that Rocky gave them and threw them directly towards thebeast.

The beast felt the weapons coming at him from all directions, so he stopped biting towards Zanderand immediately waved its huge claws to shoot away all the attacks.

While the beast concentrated on defending itself, Rocky had quietly appeared on the other side ofthe beast. The spiritual light shone on his hand, and he injected the spiritual power at the EarthlyStage into his dagger. He then used it to stab the beast in its forelimbs, leaving a fierce blood mark.Soon enough, the beast was covered in its own blood.

Prior to the attack, the beast seemed to have no idea that the person who attacked it was actuallyhiding the strength of the Earthly Stage. It was only under carelessness and ignorance that it wassuccessfully attacked by Rocky. The beast growled in pain at once, and angrily waved its paws atRocky who had ambushed him.

Before the beast's paws could injure him, Rocky had taken the opportunity to dodge the viciousattack, making its paws brush past him. It could have cut Rocky's shoulder in half, had the attack hithim. He then grabbed Zander who was lying on the ground, and quickly returned to the side of theother spirit manipulators.

The present spirit manipulators never thought that Rocky could launch a sneak attack against thebeast successfully. He not only rescued Zander from its attack, but he was also unscathed. The spiritmanipulators felt stunned and now saw Rocky in a new light.

"Let's get out of here at once!” Rocky yelled at the other spirit manipulators in shock. They finallycame back to their senses and realized that they were not fully safe from their predicament. Afterseeing the bloodthirsty nature of the beast and the terror of its power, they were urgent to escape.Terrified and horror-stricken, they hurriedly ran to a far distance for fear of being attacked by thewild beast again.

In the blink of an eye, all the manipulators rushed into the night, paying no mind to their exhaustionbefore. They desperately ran without looking back and paid no attention to their spirit-manipulatedbeasts. At the speed of light, their figures disappeared into the woods. The wounded beast seemedto have been completely angered by their escape, as it rushed to chase after them.

Rocky could not help feeling anxious when he saw that the beast was still chasing the manipulatorsin spite of its injury. Worse enough, it seemed that it would catch up with them soon. This violentspirit-manipulated beast was very terrible. Even he might not have a complete chance of winning.Without absolute certainty, he would not have ventured so easily to provoke the beast. Rockyfrowned at the thought. Suddenly, he smelled something like rotten soil. He then immediatelylooked around and soon found a pond of mud not far from him, which seemed to look like a paste.Rocky's face suddenly lit up with happiness, and he could not help but feel overjoyed. Heimmediately turned around and said, "Take off your clothes as quickly as possible!"

Upon hearing this, Zander and the others immediately stared at him with disbelief. “At this criticalmoment of life and death, how could Rocky tell us to strip naked? What does he even mean? Has helost his mind?’ they thought to themselves doubtfully, unable to figure out Rocky's true intention."Rocky, are you crazy? Making a joke at this critical moment? Now is not the time for yourshenanigans,” Zander stared at Rocky and asked him in anger and doubt. Others around him alsoshowed a puzzled look.

"To listen to me or not is totally up to you." Rocky shrugged and gave no further explanation.

Thor and Joss took one look at each other and proceeded to remove their shirts without sayinganything, leaving only their shorts to preserve their dignity.

Upon seeing this, the other spirit manipulators also began to take off their clothes after a moment'shesitation. After all, it was a fact that Rocky had succeeded in attacking the beast before. Theybelieved that he would not let them do anything useless at such a time, so they all followed hiscommand

"You are all a bunch of crazy people, aren't you?" Zander said. Although he shouted loudly to showhis disagreement, he also took off his clothes following the others.

In the end, everyone was stripped except for Rocky. As a result, a group of naked people stood sideby side, and the scene was indeed a bit funny if not for their current situation.

Afterward, Rocky pointed to the nearby pond of mud and said, "You all go in there and hide quietly.After I lead the spirit-manipulated beast away, you can come out.”

"Rocky, you'd better not fool me, or I will...". Zander threatened him by showing a menacing look,but he also knew that if Rocky had not saved him at the most critical moment, he probably wouldhave been dead by now.

Soon enough, Zander and the others all jumped into the mud and hid themselves.

Rocky picked up all the clothes Zander and the others had taken off, then suddenly disappeared.

A moment later, the shadow appeared near the pond of mud. It constantly twisted its head andsniffed around, trying to replace the group of people by following the scent left by them.

At the sight of the huge beast, Zander held his breath to avoid making a sound. He hid motionlessin the mud, for fear of making any noise and be discovered by the beast. When seeing the beastgetting closer and closer, Zander could not help but curse Rocky in his head, as he felt cheated bythat two-faced guy.

The spirit manipulators saw that the beast was approaching the pond of mud and was about to replacethem. However, it raised its head suddenly, as if to realize something important, quickly turnedaround and ran away.

Upon seeing the beast run away, Zander and the other spirit manipulators finally breathed a sigh ofrelief. It was a close call to death. They thought that they were going to be found by that horriblebeast. Knowing their weakness in combat, they knew that they were likely to die had they beendiscovered by the beast.
