"All right. You can go inside now," Rocky said as he led Shirley to the cave.
Shirley couldn't help but snort as she walked in. It seemed that she kind of rolled her eyes, but they were actually fixed at Rocky. In her mind, it was still hard for her to accept the fact that the pathetic loser she had known in the past had already become much stronger than her. Rocky even had two powerful spirit-manipulated beasts at his disposal. Right now, she felt so inferior to him in every aspect.
As the three women entered and settled inside the cave, Rocky walked out and looked at the direction from which they had come from.
After waiting for quite a while, he saw three figures finally appear from a distance.
"How was it? Are you guys okay?" Rocky asked out of concern.
"Well, not too good. Supernatural beasts are very difficult to deal with. Even if the three of us joined hands, we only managed to kill one," Marcia said in a rather frustrated tone.
"Let's have a proper rest first. We'll discuss the rest later." Rocky knew that they had been on a tough journey. He was just glad that everyone was safe.
Then, he guided the other three to the cave where they would stay the night.
After a night's worth of rest in the cave, the rescue team prepared themselves and set out early the following morning.
After such a long journey, the rescue team that was led by Marcia finally reached the border of the Dragon Master Clan's territory. As they passed through a dense fruit forest, they immediately saw several female members of the Dragon Master Clan, gathering fruits and other crops that they could obtain from the area. From their observation, all of them seemed to be ordinary spiritual slaves.
"I wonder if they know where my father is being held captive." Currently, Rocky and the others continued to hide in the dark and observed the movements of the female members of the Dragon Master Clan.
"How long are we doing this? Why don't we just catch one of them and ask what we want to know?" Shirley suggested as she grew impatient.
"And what if she doesn't know? I am afraid it's not a good idea as it will alert the enemies," Sabina answered while shaking her head.
"So we're just going to hide here and do nothing? If you won't ask, how will you know that they don't know?" Shirley got annoyed and refuted Sabina immediately.
"Fine. If you want things your way, just catch one of them and bring her here by yourself." Sabina knew how to get in Shirley's head and provoked her all the more.
"Sure, I will!" Shirley scoffed before quickly rushing at a fast speed.
Upon seeing this, Rocky and the others couldn't help but shake their heads and let out a deep sigh.
"Shirley is too impatient." Even Bryant frowned at Shirley's reaction.
"Come on. Why did you have to irritate her? You know her temper," Rocky slightly reprimanded Sabina for provoking Shirley.
"But I didn't know that she'd really do it," Sabina rebutted as she shrugged her shoulders.
"Well, it's fine. General Marcia followed her as soon as she dashed out," Bryant said in an unworried manner.
Upon hearing what Bryant said, Rocky turned and looked at where Marcia was originally standing and saw that she indeed disappeared from that spot.
Not long after, Marcia and Shirley came back together with one of the female members. They all heard that Marcia was talking with the woman in their language.
Initially, the woman had been scared because of their sudden appearance, but as she heard Marcia spoke their language, she seemed to calm down somehow. As Marcia continued to interrogate the woman, they could just see her shaking her head in panic from time to time.
After a while, Marcia turned to her companions and shook her head. "She doesn't know where the emperor is imprisoned. But she said that more than half a year ago, they saw that a seriously injured human was brought back to the Dragon Master Clan."
