Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
Chapter 1926 His Pride

Although the Floating Skill was amazing, its effect wouldn't last long. As soon as it wore off, thepremium-stage Spiritual King landed on the ground between the burrows. Assuming that there wassomething dangerous hiding down the holes, he was very cautious about his movements. When hesaw that nothing seemed to be coming out, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. He then turnedaround and taunted the members of the Lingji Clan and Wankong Clan, saying, "Look at you! Doyou really call yourselves warriors? Don’t be so afraid of these holes. Come on! Prove you're not adisgrace to your clans.”

It seemed that his derision had actually worked on the people of the Lingji Clan because they endedup aggravated by what he said.

"Anita, this cave might be free from danger after all. Let's go and explore as well," a Spiritual King ofthe Lingji Clan urged their leader, who was a premium-stage Spiritual Emperor.

"Let's not rush. We can wait,” Anita replied as she waved her hand. She was looking into thedistance as though she was waiting for something to happen.

After his mockery, the premium-stage Spiritual King used his Floating Skill again to fly over theremaining burrows. Just as he passed a hole, a huge snake-like beast shadow suddenly emergedfrom under him, wriggling and rushing up from the dark.

The beast shadow then opened its mouth, revealing two rows of sharp teeth, and swallowed thefloating premium-stage Spiritual King completely.

Right after its meal, the beast shadow silently went back into the giant burrow.

Everything happened so fast that most of people present were taken aback. They didn't expect thateven a premium-stage Spiritual King would get killed so easily.

However, this scene came as no surprise to some Spiritual Emperors because they had gonethrough this experience many times before.

Meanwhile, the abrupt loss of a team member had left the members of the Xiayu Clan, especiallyAbdullah, stunned.

"The arrogant will end up hurting themselves. The unjust shall die," Anita swiftly commented,adding insult to injury.

Abdullah knew that her words were directed at him, but he chose to keep quiet and suck thehumiliation up. After all, it was because of his carelessness that he quickly lost a subordinate.

Since it was Alex's first time in the Ethereal Valley, the cruel scene had overwhelmed her quite a bit."It never occurred to me that this place could be so dangerous!”

Just as well, the other members of the different clans couldn't deny that the instant death theywitnessed had made them feel scared.

'I guess the Ethereal Valley is more dangerous than the Holy Heaven Palace. This cruel trial makesme think the deities who created this place aren't so nice.’ Even Rocky frowned slightly. Judgingfrom what just happened before his eyes, he knew that the following trials would only get moreterrifying as they went on. He realized that the Ethereal Valley was far too dangerous than what heinitially imagined.

"I expect that all of you have already learned a lesson. This is the consequence of showing off andbeing too rash,” Anita remarked with a scoff, implicitly addressing the man who proposed toexplore the holes earlier. Then, she continued, "That savage creature is a demonic spiritual beast.They are merciless and always hungry for spiritual creatures possessing spiritual power. It is theirtactic to move under these holes until they get close to their target. At the perfect timing, they willrapidly come out of the holes and devour the prey. If anyone wants to pass through all these holes,he will have to properly locate the position of the demonic spiritual beasts and avoid them. To doso, he should move very fast, or he will end up as feed to these monsters.”

"Hal That's easier said than done. It won't be a problem for you to locate the demonic spiritualbeast since you are a Spiritual Emperor. But most of the people here are just Spiritual Kings. Theycertainly don't have the ability to do that!" Abdullah snorted, letting out a sour expression.

"So what? That's why it is called a trial. If everything can be easily done, then what good is this questfor?" Anita replied indifferently.

"Enough chitchat. If we want to cross this cave, we should do something about those creatures. Isuggest that a small group will become a decoy to lure the demonic spiritual beast away. When it'salready out of the way, we can guarantee our safety. How about this? I'll volunteer to be the one tolead the group that's going to be the bait. I just need the two other clans to each send a SpiritualEmperor that will assist me. When the three of us have successfully distracted the beast, the rest cantake that opportunity to cross over.” Although Abdullah's proposal sounded kind on the surface, itwas obvious he had an ulterior motive for doing so. He wanted Anita and Finnegan to join him inthe group that would distract the demonic spiritual beast. With their combined strength, there was ahuge possibility that the rest of the members of the three teams could safely pass throughAbdullah wanted to ensure that nothing bad would happen to the rest of his team since they hadjust lost a high-level Spiritual Emperor.

Moreover, he also wanted to take this chance to show off his talent and courage in front of Alex."Abdullah, I'm actually pleased that you are taking this initiative. Your idea isn't half bad. However, ifyou are thinking that I should be part of the group that will join you, I will have to decline. After all,this kind of trial is a rare opportunity for you juniors. I don't want to interfere. Instead, I will ask Milato assist you," Anita said with deep perception. She knew that the main role of the premium-gradeSpiritual Emperors was to protect those who had come to train. If they did more than what theywere tasked, it would be pointless. They would rob off the younger ones of the experience that theyneeded.

"Fine. Alex, who will you send from your team?" Abdullah knew what Anita was thinking, so he hadno choice but to turn to Alex.

Alex, meanwhile, felt very hesitant since Finnegan was the only Spiritual Emperor in her group. Thus,if anything happened to him, their team would be in an extremely disadvantageous situation.Therefore, she could not risk sending Finnegan away and do the risky task. However, aside fromFinnegan, she should be the next strongest member. Hence, she would have no choice but to do itherself.

But just as she was about to volunteer herself, a voice suddenly echoed from behind her. "I will doit."

All the Spiritual Emperors present looked in the direction where the voice came from and found thatthe man who just spoke up didn't even have an astonishing appearance. In fact, as they analyzedhim, they recognized from his aura that he was a just a low-level Spiritual King. With this, a trace ofdisdain appeared on their faces. They all believed that this person was being too full of himself.However, Alex thought the opposite. She knew that he was fitting for the role since it was noneother than Rocky.

"Are you sure about this?" Alex asked just to make sure,

"Yes, of course,” Rocky immediately answered.

"Wait a minute. Just because you volunteered doesn't mean that we'll agree. I'm afraid that you aretoo weak for this task,” Abdullah suddenly butted in and wore a disapproving expression.

"Well, it's true that I am not that strong. But rest assured that I can run fast! If distracting the beast isthe job, then you can trust me. Believe me, the demonic spiritual beast will not be able to catch upon me," Rocky emphasized with a proud smile.

Of course, many were dumbfounded by Rocky's confidence. They began murmuring at each otherbecause they could not believe that someone would be so proud to admit he was good and quickto escape.
