Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
Chapter 153 Searching For The Treasures

Now that Rocky had found the odd red light in his spiritual flame, he used his skills to try andseparate the red light from it. Hours had passed by, and sweat was trickling down his face as hetried to separate it in vain. It seemed that the red light was completely fused with his spiritual flame.He couldn't separate it or manipulate it, no matter how hard he tried. His failure to separate the redlight also meant that he was currently unable to use the spiritual power of the red light, whichrepresented the nature of Fire.

"It seems that without the power of the Holy Dragon Bead, it is impossible to manipulate the powerof the red light. It can be only manipulated by the dragon spiritual power,” Rocky murmured tohimself. Yet, he was unwilling to give up so easily. He concentrated long and hard and began to tryother ways to do it. Yet, after making several attempts, he was still unable to separate the red lightfrom his spiritual flame. Rocky knew he had to give up trying for now as he had a more pressingmatter to deal with at that moment. So, he put it aside and then continued to absorb the spiritualpower of the Dark Heaven Egg at the medium grade.

He kept absorbing such spiritual power for about a whole night. He concentrated on absorbing thespiritual power and he could feel it flowing through his veins.

The sky was still gray and the sun hadn't risen yet when a nebula light bright like a yellow jewelbegan to shine abruptly. It came inside the col where Rocky was hiding for his secret cultivation. Thestreams of its halo which were like ripples on the lake spread around the area. Meanwhile, countlesssand and stones were floating around and continued to revolve around slowly under the influenceof the spreading nebulae light.

The next second, within the nebulae light, Rocky opened his eyes abruptly. His eyes turned sharpand fierce. His heartbeat quickened and his whole body pulsed with power.

Boom, boom, boom...

The moment Rocky opened his eyes, the sand and stones floating in the air exploded like they wereout of control. Inmediately, the sand fog was spreading all over the sky. Afterwards, the light of thenebulae continued to fade slowly, and the breath of a spirit manipulator at the second grade of theEarthly Stage appeared in an instant. Through the help of the spiritual power of the Dark HeavenEgg and a night's hard practice, he finally finished his cultivation and reached the second grade ofthe Earthly Stage.

"This Dark Heaven Egg is really awesome!" Rocky exclaimed. He could feel the energy coursingthrough his veins. Despite his excitement, he soon regulated his breathing and calmed his body sothat nobody would replace out his real strength. After composing himself, he jumped out of the rockwhere he was sitting.

Uriah, Rocky's war beast, was lying aside to take care of Rubygon. It sensed that its master hadmade a breakthrough in his strength and immediately roared excitedly, "Howl!" Even Uriah wasexcited that Rocky had made such progress

“Unexpectedly, a Dark Heaven Egg at the medium grade could offer me quite enough spiritualpower that I needed to reach the second grade of the Earthly Stage. But now there's only one left. Itseems that if I want to make a breakthrough and reach the third grade, I have to get some moreDark Heaven Eggs. Even getting the ones at the primary grade will be fine for me. To get more ofthe Eggs, I have to start my plan right away, ' Rocky thought.

In fact, when he helped to cure Jackson's wound yesterday, he had already thought of a good plan.Since the magical saliva had a special attraction to the Dark Heaven Insects, he could use it tocapture more of them and breed them secretly. In this way, he would have enough Dark HeavenEggs to improve his strength and finally reach the Heavenly Stage.

Of course, even though he had figured out such a good plan, it was very difficult to implement it.He also had to be very careful to make sure no one would figure out what he was doing. The wholeplan would be very tricky. The nests of the Dark Heaven Insects could have been anywhere underthe Gehenna Boarder, and according to some historical records along with Rocky's calculation, therewere less than 20 Dark Heaven Insects in the whole Gehenna Border. Therefore, it was very difficultto locate where these nests of the Dark Heaven Insects were. It was impossible to dig the wholeGehenna Border to search for the Dark Heaven Insects. In addition, this was only the first problem tobe solved. More tricky problems would definitely occur once he carried out his plan. He had to beable to foreshadow the possible problems he might encounter.

Fortunately, Rocky was actually from the modern world. He was equipped with modern knowledgeand ideas that people in his current world would have a hard time imagining. So despite all thepossible difficulties, he already had some ideas about how to replace the nests of the Dark HeavenInsects.

After leaving the col with Uriah and Rubygon, he returned to the village in the east to ask Sue forhelp in taking care of his Rubygon. After that, he took Uriah back to the military camp, and thenfound Thor and Joss.

"Captain, where have you been? We've been looking for you all morning,” Thor and Joss saideagerly. As soon as they saw Rocky, they looked like they saw a living god. Their smiles were so widethat it reached their eyes. The only difference was that they didn't kneel down and worship Rocky.Their worship, of course, was because Rocky had rescued them several times and already became avery famous figure in the military camp.

Rocky rolled his eyes and asked, "Thor, does the sixth squad have any patrol task today?"

"Yes, we have. We were about to look for you and report to you about that, Captain..." Thor said andnodded at once.

"All right! You two gather the other spirit manipulators now and we'll set out for the taskimmediately. By the way, ask everyone to bring a spade, a rope and a hook..." Rocky nodded andordered. His plan was already in place. Being a captain did come in handy for situations like this. Hedidn't choose to be captain, but he might as well use its benefits.

"Captain, why do we need to bring these things?" Joss asked curiously. He thought those thingswere not useful for the patrol task. Rocky narrowed his eyes. They shouldn't ask too much about hisintentions.

"Why do you have to ask? Just follow my order. I'll wait for you at the gate of the military camp. Youall meet me there within five minutes!" Rocky said sternly. He then took Uriah to the gate at once.Although Thor and Joss were surprised to see that Rocky was so mysterious, they still trusted Rockyand immediately went to summon the other spirit manipulators of the sixth squad.

It wasn't long before the well-prepared sixth squad and Rocky met at the place hundreds of metersaway from the military camp.

"Captain, the area we are going to patrol today is..." When Thor attempted to report to Rocky thearea they were to patrol that day, he was abruptly cut off. "Before carrying out our patrol task, wehave to go to a place first. Follow me!" Rocky said simply. After that, he and Uriah turned aroundand left.

The sixth squad's spirit manipulators immediately looked confused as this wasn't part of their task.They didn't know where Rocky was taking them. For a moment, they furrowed their eyebrows andwondered where they were going. Yet, for them, Rocky was a god-like existence, and no matterwhat Rocky told them to do, they would follow his order.

Thus, the sixth squad soon caught up with Rocky. They shook away their doubts and trusted hisleadership.

Led by Rocky, the sixth squad came to the village where the tragedy took place yesterday. The sixthsquad gaped at the sight. When they arrived there, it was completely deserted. Most of the houseswere burned to ruins, and the dead villagers were already buried based on Marin's order. All theyknew was that all the people in this village were dead except for the one who had been saved byRocky. Now, the village could also be regarded as a ghost village. It seemed rather spooky even inbroad daylight, with fog floating around it.

"Captain, what are we doing here?" Joss asked timidly. He was carefully looking around for fear thatsomething would pop up all of a sudden. Even the other spirit manipulators of the sixth squad werewondering what they were doing there. They were all distressed by that place and wanted to leaveas soon as they could.

Instead of answering Joss's question, Rocky went straight to the entrance of the Dark HeavenInsect's cave which he had discovered yesterday. Because the ground formation of the village wasrelatively soft, the entrance had completely collapsed and was filled with sand and stone. Now, onlya large pit was in view.

"Start digging from here,” Rocky said to the sixth squad's spirit manipulators while pointing to thelarge pit.

The sixth squad's spirit manipulators looked at Rocky in confusion. They were all at a loss as to whythey should dig there.

"Captain, what are we going to do?" Thor and Joss couldn't help but ask.

"There are treasures down there, and whoever dug them can have them,” Rocky said nonchalantly.As soon as they heard their captain's words, they got very excited and began to exclaim one afteranother.

"Captain, are there really treasures down here?"

"If there are treasures down here, I'll become rich if I can replace one.”

"Captain, you are really nice and generous by taking us here to share the treasures.”

They chattered in delight and gratitude. Soon, the other spirit manipulators jumped into the pit anddug up crazily with the spades they brought with them. They dug so fast as if they would run out oftreasures if they didn't replace it soon. The thought of treasures gave them the strength and themotivation they did not know they had. Thor and Joss thought it was a little strange but they alsojumped into the pit and began to dig for treasures. Rocky had always been mysterious from the verystart. This was just one of many of his odd orders.

Of course, they wouldn't replace any treasures below the pit. Rocky only used the treasures as the baitto lure them into doing free labor. He knew he couldn't do it by himself even if he tried.

When Rocky saw the Dark Heaven Insect got out from the underground again yesterday, heguessed that it planned to go back to its nest. From what he gathered, he believed that under thepit, there must be an access to the Dark Heaven Insect's nest.

His goal was to go to the Dark Heaven Insect's nest to explore its every nook and cranny.
