Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
Chapter 144 A Huge Monster

At the moment, however, Rocky wasn't very enthusiastic. If they took these three guys back, those inthe camp would replace out that he had hidden his real strength. If he had known about what wouldhave happened, he would have killed these three robbers right away. But right now, his teammembers’ faces were radiating with joy, as if they had just come upon a treasury. Rocky couldn'tthink of an excuse to prevent them from taking the three guys captive and bringing them back. Itwould be suspicious to do so, and besides, for Thor and other spirit manipulators who had notalready made a significant contribution, a small achievement like this one would be enough tosatisfy them for the rest of their lives.

After a moment of hesitation, Rocky looked at the Three Powers at the Gehenna Border who layunconscious in the rubble and directed, "Tie them up and gag them with a piece of cloth.”

On hearing this, all the spirit manipulators of the sixth team immediately gathered around the threeunconscious robbers and did as he instructed. They threw them into the hay cart together.

After finishing this, all members of the sixth squad continued on their way.

After they passed through the canyon safe and sound, the next part of the journey went verysmoothly for them. After climbing a continuous and undulating section of a hillside, they walked forseveral more miles, before Rocky told everyone to take a rest and recover their strength. They hadto restore their energy enough to cope with any unexpected obstacles that might come their way.At this time, the Three Powers at the Gehenna Border slowly began to come to their senses. Findingout that they had become prisoners, they immediately struggled like captured fish. Since theirmouths were jammed with cloth, they whined desperately to get the others’ attention, and theyglared at Rocky in great terror.

When Rocky saw the Three Powers at the Gehenna Border wake up, he immediately took a look atthe other spirit manipulators who were still at rest and found that they were not paying attention tothe situation here. Then he immediately went to the Three Powers at the Gehenna Border andstared at them murderously. "You would be wise to treat what happened just now as if it had nothappened. I want you to remember that heavy stones fell on you while you were robbing the haytruck. If you cooperate with me obediently, your lives will at least be saved, but if you can't keepyour mouth shut, I can't say for sure what terrible things will happen to you. One thing I can makesure of is that your mouths will be shut forever without anyone so much as noticing. Are we clear?Just nod to let me know that you are willing to obey my orders.”

Upon hearing this, the Three Powers at the Gehenna Border glared at Rocky and they broke out in acold sweat. It was obvious that they were deeply fearful. After exchanging glances of panic, theynodded quickly.

Seeing that the three men would cooperate with him obediently, Rocky nodded with satisfactionand then turned away.

After resting for half an hour, members of the sixth team continued on their way and finally arrivedat the outpost on the west side of the front line before dark. This outpost was located in a barbarianland, dry and barren like a desert. Rocky and the others looked around and found out that it wasseemed to be totally bare, with not even a blade of grass to be seen. Under the setting sun, itlooked even more desolate.

At this moment, looking from the outpost to the other side, they could see an area beyond theborders of the Holy Dragon Empire without jurisdiction. There was a lot of smoke and gunfire, andthe sound of killing was deafening. It seemed that a bloody and fierce battle was taking place thereright now.

Wars, large and small, took place almost every day on this frontier. It was quite common that even ifan ongoing war hadn't even come to an end yet, another one would start again. Sometimes, therewould be scenes of chaos and fighting among many countries. Everything was very gruesome andbloody.

It was more common to see dead bodies than living ones. The fields where wars went on all yearround had all been stained red with blood. Even if the ground was dug up three feet deep, it wouldstill only yield ghastly streams of dark blood and the bones of the dead who had already beenforgotten a long time ago.

The cruelty of the Gehenna Border was far beyond the imagination of people living in comfortzones where wars were a distant dream.

Rocky ordered the sixth team to unload the hay. Since it was getting late, and the outpost area wasa gathering point for all kinds of spies to ambush and gather information, no one knew for sure howmany pairs of eyes were staring at the movements in the outpost late at night. Therefore, afterunloading the hay, the sixth team spent the night there.

The escort mission had gone much smoother than Rocky had expected, with the exception of theencounter with the Three Powers at the Gehenna Border. In addition, the sixth squad had also madean achievement in catching the Three Powers at the Gehenna Border, who were listed as extremelywanted criminals.

Of course, the Three Powers at the Gehenna Border had actually hurled themselves willingly into thetrap. They would not have been arrested if they hadn't underestimated the sixth team and thoughtthat its members were pathetically weak. It was a great misfortune for them to run into Rocky, asecretly powerful spirit manipulator.

In the afternoon, the sixth team had already crossed the canyon and entered the jurisdiction of thenortheast military camp. For all intents and purposes, they were already very safe.

Because of this, they let their defenses down, lazily chatting all the way while escorting the ThreePowers at the Gehenna Border who were still bound and gagged. They directly went back to thenortheast military camp, ready to claim the rewards presented to them.

"Captain, we have really made some achievements this time. Should we celebrate and have a drinkor something?" At this time, Thor and Joss gathered together to Rocky's side and asked with greatexcitement and expectation.

"It's up to you to decide. I won't attend your celebration anyway," Rocky replied indifferently,apparently taking no interest in it.

"How could you not attend our celebration? Although it was our luck to catch the Three Powers atthe Gehenna Border, it was mainly to your credit. Otherwise, it seemed unreasonable that a suddendisaster would befall these three guys, which helped us to defeat them easily when you alone wereintercepted. To be defeated by us is the retribution for their bad deeds, but our success mustdepend on your luck to a large extent. Our sixth team also gets some benefits from your luck," saidJoss.

"Have you two flattered me enough?” Rocky glared at them.

Thor and Joss immediately smiled at one another. They understood that Rocky lacked interest inthat kind of thing, so they did not continue to hound him about it.

"Captain, there seems to be something wrong with the village in front of us," the spirit manipulatorwho was exploring the road at the front shouted to Rocky at that moment.

Rocky immediately narrowed his eyes and walked quickly forward. Soon, he saw a village in front ofhim, where thick black smoke was rising and flames could be seen faintly.

"Thor, Joss, you two come with me into the village to see what is going on. The others shall goforward and remain outside the village to wait for my further orders,” Rocky immediatelycommanded.

Rocky took Thor and Joss with him, with Uriah also closely following behind. Three people and onebeast rushed to the village at once. As soon as they entered the village, they saw the corpses ofmany villagers. They had fallen to the ground covered in blood, as if they had been slain by someterrible attacks. Many of the houses were already on fire with fierce flames, and the rest of thevillagers were gone.

"Leader, there is a survivor here." At this time, Joss found a villager lying on the ground who wasfighting for his life.

Rocky hurried over. The villager looked so badly injured that he could hardly open his mouth tospeak. Rocky put on a stern expression and he hesitated for moment. Then he immediately called toThor and Joss, "Go and see if there are any other wounded survivors.”

Thor and Joss nodded and immediately took action, splitting up to cover more ground.

When Rocky saw the two men leaving, he immediately took out the bottle containing the magicalsaliva from his silk back. Although the magical saliva was extremely precious, it was more importantto save that villager's life now, so he immediately let the injured villager swallow half a drop of it.Under the great effect of the magical saliva, the villager's injuries improved immediately. His palelips slightly moved, and his whole body suddenly twitched violently. He accidentally bumped intothe bottle containing the magical saliva that Rocky was holding. Unfortunately, Rocky hadn't gotenough time to put it away and as the bottle jerked, half a drop of the magical saliva fell to theground.

"Who attacked the village?" Rocky did not notice the magical saliva falling to the ground andimmediately asked the injured villager.

"Mon... Monster... A huge monster!” The injured villager immediately cried out in horror and lookedaround in terror.

All of a sudden, Rocky felt a violent tremor coming from underneath the ground where the villagewas situated. It seemed that something terrible was eager to show its presence.
