Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
Chapter 1574 Surprise

After a journey that took an entire day and night, Rocky and Commander Ling finally arrived at themilitary camp at the front line of the western region

A camp of considerable size entered their eyes. From north to south, military tents of all sizes werestationed everywhere as far as the eye could see.

"Spiritual King Basil, do you want to take a break first?” Commander Ling asked as soon as henoticed that they had arrived.

"No, there's no need for that. Commander Ling, please tell me the current situation in detail, thentake me to see the spiritual beast you've caught,” Rocky quickly instructed.

After a quick nod of understanding, Commander Ling immediately explained to Rocky the recenthappenings in the front line of the western region

Since the camp of the western region army was located next to a large river, the Mochy River, ithelped serve as a natural barrier against the invasion of the spiritual race's army. Hence, the camp ofthe spiritual race's army could be found on the opposite side of the river.

Moreover, the Mochy River used to be very wide and had raging waters. It was a near impossibletask to cross it safely, even with the use of a ferry. Therefore, the western region army tookadvantage of this to prevent the spiritual race's army from reaching the Ethereal Region.

However, although the Mochy River served as a barrier, the water level of the river would eventuallydecline until the river end up completely waterless once the dry season rolled in. This was becauseof a dam built upstream.

Since they were currently approaching the dry season, the water level of the Mochy River continuedto constantly fall and could no longer drown even a single person.

That was how the spiritual race managed to send more than a dozen spiritual beasts to cross theMochy River a few days ago, catching the front line of the western region army by surprise. Thewestern region army almost suffered a devastating loss.

It was fortunate that the army of the spiritual race couldn't cross the Mochy River by force yet, soonce the spiritual beasts were driven away, the front line of the western region could take a shortrest to lick their wounds.

After seeing the powerful spiritual beasts, Commander Ling realized that if they were unable to dealwith the spiritual beasts, they would be complete helpless and unable to defend the western regiononce the spiritual beasts and the army of the spiritual race attacked at the same time. Therefore, hequickly sent word to the Tiger Whisker Pass for help.

"Simply put, once the water level of the Mochy River completely falls, the army of the spiritual racewill be able to cross it." At those words, Rocky turned his eyes to look at the Mochy River, spotting iteasily since it was barely a hundred meters away from the military camp.

"Yes, the dry season is fast approaching. I'm certain that the reason the army of the spiritual racesent spiritual beasts to attack our base at this time, was because they wanted to test our militarystrength," Commander Ling said grimly.

"Why didn't you build defensive facilities along the river, Commander Ling?" Rocky asked aftergiving it a moment's thought.

"The ground within a hundred meters of the Mochy River is very soft and can't bear too muchweight. It's impossible for us to build any defensive facilities on the riverbanks,” Commander Lingexplained patiently.

"If we want to defend the front line of the western region, we have to rely on time and the land. Ifwe have neither time nor land to rely on, the front line of the western region doesn't have anyadvantage against the spiritual race,” Rocky pointed out.

"That's true. Spiritual King Basil, you're more proficient in the art of war than I expected,”Commander Ling commented, looking at Rocky in surprise. With just a few comments, he could tellthat the other man had great insights regarding the art of war.

"I wouldn't dare to say I'm proficient in it. I just have a few opinions I can offer,” Rocky replied,waving his hand in the air as if to bat away the compliment.

"What you just said is the truth. In fact, if the spiritual race launched an attack themselves, thetroops at the front line of our western region would be able to resist them. But I didn't expect thatthey would use spiritual beasts to attack us. This has never happened in the front line of the westernregion before. One reason is that the Mochy River is not something that ordinary spiritual beastscan cross; another is that most spiritual beasts are afraid of water, and they aren't suited to fightnext to a river,” Commander Ling remarked, the expression on his face darkening even more.

"So you're saying that the spiritual beasts sent by the spiritual race are obviously able to cross theMochy River. They show no fear of water and they can even fight in it. Most importantly, theirmovements are well coordinated,” Rocky summarized, his face turning stony.

"Yes, that part bothers me the most. Even if they sent spiritual beasts to cross the river and attackedus, spiritual beasts normally don't have their own consciousness. Only tamed spiritual beasts willfollow commands. And yet, the spiritual beasts sent by the spiritual race this time could fight ontheir own without any orders. They cooperated with each other with a tacit understanding. It'sclearly unusual.” Commander Ling frowned.

"Maybe I'll figure out the answer once I take a look at the spiritual beast you caught," Rocky offeredCuriosity was rushing through his veins, if what Commander Ling said was true, the one who couldcontrol the spiritual beasts might have practiced a Beast Taming Skill similar to the Mysterious BeastTransformation Skill. That would allow them to give orders to the spiritual beasts through theirspiritual sense.

In other words, his opponent might be a skilled beast tamer.

"Come with me, Spiritual King Basil.” Commander Ling immediately gestured for Rocky to followhim.

Without wasting a single moment, Rocky followed Commander Ling to the depths of the camp. Notlong after, the two of them arrived at a beast farm. However, not many spiritual beasts lived withinit. The most eye-catching was definitely the beast tied by several long and thick chains. Variousswells covered its body, giving it an appearance similar to a toad. There was no doubt that it was astrong spiritual beast.

"Is it that one?" Rocky asked just to be certain, pointing towards the spiritual toad beast.

"Yes, it's that one,” Commander Ling confirmed with a quick nod of his head.

"I'll go and have a look,” Rocky decided.

"Please be very careful, Spiritual King Basil. Its saliva is incredibly corrosive. Once it touches yourbody, it'll be terrible," Commander Ling reminded Rocky, his voice filled with concern.

Of course, Rocky didn't pay the warning any mind. He fearlessly walked towards the beast.

Once the beast caught sight of Rocky approaching, it got even angrier. Its huge green eyes honed inon Rocky. After a moment, its throat wriggled and a mouthful of green saliva immediately burst outof its throat.

Without even blinking, Rocky dodged the saliva in one quick move. When the saliva fell on theground, it immediately corroded the soil and left a hole.

Intense worry for Rocky could be seen on Commander Ling's face.

"If you spit again, I swear I'll dissect you for an experiment right this second,” Rocky snarled at thebeast with the help of the Mysterious Beast Transformation Skill, his eyes blazing fiercely.

When the beast heard Rocky's words and noticed Rocky's calm yet powerful momentum, it instantlybecame daunted and immediately retreated like a scared rabbit.

At that point, Rocky had already reached the beast and then spoke gently, "Don't be afraid. I won'thurt you. I just want to know who your master is." While he was speaking, his finger pointedbetween the eyebrows of the beast to get into the beast's mind.

It only took a moment for a delicate figure to appear in Rocky's mind. Since she was in a greenforest and was wearing a pink dress, she seemed like a flower fairy. Although he couldn't see herface clearly, he could tell that she was a beauty.

However, as soon as Rocky entered the beast's spiritual sense, he was immediately forced out. Therewas undoubtedly some sort of defense on the beast to protect its spiritual sense.

"It seems like its owner is nearby,” Rocky said to himself with a nod of his head. Without missing abeat, he turned around and said to Commander Ling, "Commander Ling, I'm leaving for a bit."

The moment the words left Rocky's lips, he disappeared from where he stood and was nowhere tobe seen.

Commander Ling was still in a daze from seeing the beast be so tame in front of Rocky. He becameeven more stunned when Rocky disappeared from sight.
