Meanwhile, Rocky had already flown out of the flame mountain with Queenie. As soon as he noticed
that no one was chasing them anymore, he landed swiftly and let Queenie go.
As soon as her feet were on the ground, Queenie couldn't stop herself from boasting, "Look! I did it! I
grabbed the spiritual treasure. This is amazing!" She couldn't take her eyes off the strangely-shaped
spiritual treasure in her hand. It felt like a prize. But if it weren't for Rocky, she couldn't have done it.
Worse, she would have been severely injured by the Heavenly Wolf.
However, it didn't seem like Rocky minded it, because he was silently smiling beside her. "Yeah, you
are really something!" The praise easily left his mouth, as a warm smile brightened his face. He was
glad that he had planned for this in advance, or else, he could have arrived too late to save Queenie.
Thankfully, he appeared just in time to fight off the Heavenly Wolf.
Now, Rocky's mission was completed since he had gotten the spiritual treasure for Woods. Woods'
victory as the emperor's successor should be in the bag now, thanks to the success of this treasure
hunting mission. Thus, he could go back to the Holy Dragon Empire at ease.
As he was reflecting on these things, he suddenly sensed a strong aura approaching him. When he
looked up, he saw a delicate body that resembled a dragonfly, and it was rapidly falling from the sky in
their direction. Thin gossamer wings were coming out of its back and sparkling under the rays of the
sun. The figure's beauty felt ethereal and dreamlike as if it was an embodiment of their dreams. Any
man would have gone crazy for such a beauty.
"It's so beautiful! But it seems to be a spiritual race woman..." Queenie murmured in surprise,
recognizing the woman's race at a glance. She was a stunning beauty.
Of course, Rocky was shocked as well, but it was for a very different reason. The figure looked vaguely
familiar to him, and the sight of her gave him an inexplicably lousy feeling at the bottom of his stomach.
Sure enough, when the delicate figure waved her hand, Queenie suddenly fainted and collapsed on the
ground without any warning. The spiritual treasure in her hand flew directly into the delicate figure's
hand.
"Hey, lady, couldn't you have chosen a better time to rob us?" Rocky looked at the beautiful figure in
front of him with a frown. The last thing he expected when he flew out here was to meet the woman
from the spiritual race, whom he had met before.
"Ha-ha! You are such a helpful man! I didn't expect that you would be able to break the enchanted
barrier. And you even brought the spiritual treasure under the watchful eyes of that fierce guardian
beast right into my waiting hands. You really lived up to my expectations!" The woman from the spiritual
race gave Rocky an appreciative once-over, with a wicked smile on her gorgeous face.
"What do you mean?" Rocky tried not to let her know, but the bad feeling he had felt earlier had now
intensified.
"You have been so helpful to me, so I'll let you guess. Why do you think the humans who should have
been driven out of the Hell of Dragon Fang had suddenly gathered here?" A chilling smile appeared on
the beautiful woman's face.
"Did you arrange the treasure hunting teams to come here together by using those spirit-manipulated
beasts?" Of course, Rocky wasn't a fool, so he immediately understood what she was saying.
"Hmn... You are very smart," the woman admitted with a faint smile.
"So you used us to get the spiritual treasure for you? You did all these on purpose?" Rocky's face went
blank. He knew that if this beautiful woman wanted to take the spiritual treasure, he might not be able
to stop her.
"No, I don't want the spiritual treasure. I just want to make a deal with you." The woman shook her
head gracefully, attracting Rocky's eyes onto her long pale neck.
However, he was more curious about her words. "What do you mean ?"
"This spiritual treasure is called the Mysterious Power Swallowing Mirror, and it is made up of two
parts. And the key to activating this spiritual treasure is the Mysterious Raw Gemstone," the woman
from the spiritual race explained, as she brought out a rare flickering stone from the Mysterious Power
Swallowing Mirror and held it in her palm. Then she said, "The deal I want to make with you is very
simple. You just have to hide this Mysterious Raw Gemstone, and make sure that it doesn't fall into the
wrong hands. In particular, the people from the Timber Deity Empire..."
"If you don't want the people of the Timber Deity Empire to get the spiritual treasure, you can hide it
yourself. Anyway, I can't stop you. So why do you want to separate the Mysterious Raw Gemstone
from the spiritual treasure? And why are you asking me for this? Aren't you afraid that I will betray you
and give the whole spiritual treasure to the people of the Timber Deity Empire in the end?" Rocky
asked straightforwardly. He couldn't guess what the woman was thinking by asking him for this, but it
felt like she wasn't telling him everything.
"Don't ask so many questions. There are some things that I can't tell you now. Anyway, it's better for
you if you do as I say. You may be able to save a lot of people by doing so..." Her beautiful face
darkened as she spoke, and her eyes seemed to be saying something else to Rocky.
"What if they think that I have hidden a part of the spiritual treasure?" Rocky asked abruptly. The
woman didn't seem like she was joking, but he could tell that she was hiding something, so he couldn't
just go along with whatever she wanted.
"Trust me, they won't. Anyway, they will come out soon, and we can put on a show later." So Rocky
was right. She was still hiding something else, and it looked like she already had a plan.
"Then what good will it do to me? I don't want to get involved in such a dangerous thing," Rocky said
frankly. Of course, he would consider doing as she said if she offered any benefits that attracted him.
"Do you have anything you want? I will try my best to satisfy your need..." The beautiful woman gave
him a seductive smile.
"I want a lot of things. You know, the works. Rare treasures, maybe spiritual crystals, and so on..."
Rocky said bluntly.
"Do you mean those rubbish? How could you take them as treasures? What an inexperienced
bumpkin! But you are still too weak right now. You should at least reach the Divine Stage first." The
beauty glared at Rocky as if indignant about his idea of treasure. She sighed, reached out, and a pill
bottle appeared in her hand immediately. "There are seven Holy Spirit Panacea that I refined in this
bottle, which can help you boost your strength and integrate the hidden power in your body. The way to
refine and digest the Holy Spirit Panacea is quite straightforward. Once you have taken it, your body
will transform into a furnace, so you will need to completely refine and digest the Holy Spirit Panacea in
your body with your spiritual power. However, with your strength, if you want to refine one Panacea, it
will take a few months, at the very least, or a year at the most. It all depends on your fate. But as long
as you refine these seven Panacea, your strength will reach the Divine Stage." After saying that, she
threw the bottle to Rocky.
He caught the bottle with a stunned look on his face. If the woman were telling the truth, then he would
make a great fortune. However, he was still suspicious about her plans. If she had all the treasure, why
did she want to hide half of the spiritual treasure? There was probably something more, and he would
find that out.
Rocky was a brilliant young man. Even though he was suspicious of the woman, he also knew that she
would not prevent him from giving the whole spiritual treasure to the Timber Deity Empire for no
reason. The Wood Clan sent the people of the Timber Deity Empire to look for the spiritual treasure,
which was strange in itself because a forbidden spell was specially made for the spiritual race to
prevent them from approaching the spiritual treasure. So it meant that the people who cast the spell
didn't want the spiritual race to get the treasure.
However, the Wood Clan tried every means to get this spiritual treasure, which was already
suspicious!
