Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master novel Chapter 154

In order to find the nest of the Dark Heaven Insect, one needed to first understand its living habits and what kind of environment was suitable for it, then speculated the possible area of its activity and then deduced a geographical location as per the learned aspects.

To understand its living conditions, there was no easier way than to directly explore its nest thoroughly. Whether there would be any danger in the exploration process or not was a completely different matter. It was how the saying went, "How can one obtain tiger cubs without entering the tiger's lair?" The deeper one wanted to reach, the more risk they had to take. Rocky had a similar thought in his mind. He was determined, and had come to the village to find the nest.

As the spirit manipulators of his squad were digging the pit diligently, a wicked smile curled up on the corners of his mouth. Obviously, he had lured them successfully. Relaxed, he sat cross-legged and closed his eyes.

An hour later, the collapsed entrance of the Dark Heaven Insect's cave was dug up completely, revealing a deep black hole, which was a few meters wide. They were all curious about what kind of treasures were hidden inside the cave.

"Didn't the captain tell us some treasures are hidden here? Where do you think are the treasures? After we have been digging the pit for so long, all we have found is a hole!"

"Yes, he did tell us. I'm so tired. I can't see any treasure here."

"You're so stupid! Do you think treasures can be found that easily? They must be hidden somewhere deeper..."

The spirit manipulators who'd been digging were exhausted now. Their foreheads were sweaty, their breath fast. They had now started to complain about the amount of energy they were spending for the treasures their captain thought existed somewhere in its depths.

When Rocky saw the hole leading to the Dark Heaven Insect's nest was dug out, he got up, crouched and peered into its pitch-black, seemingly bottomless depth. He then picked up a stone and dropped it into it, listening carefully.

It took a while before he heard multiple faint sounds, as though the stone had met with many obstacles before hitting the bottom. Rocky could tell that the terrain was tapering and deep.

"I estimate the depth of the hole is over 30 meters." Rocky frowned and spoke to Thor, "Give me a rope and a hook."

Thor did as asked.

Rocky fastened the rope to the hook, fixed it to the trunk of a withered, ancient banyan tree that stood a little away from the hole, and pulled it hard a few times. Once assured that it was fixed onto it well, he circled the rope around his waist and tied a dead knot.

"It may be dangerous down there, so I'll go down first and look for the treasures. You all wait up here..." Rocky told the spirit manipulators.

"Captain, you sacrifice your safety for the benefits of everyone. We respect you so much," one of the spirit manipulators blurted out. Other spirit manipulators too looked at Rocky with admiration. In their eyes, Rocky was a good captain who shared both their hardships and happiness. No one doubted Rocky's purpose.

"Captain, please be careful," added Thor and Joss, concerned about his safety.

Rocky didn't reply, simply nodded his head and jumped into the hole. His body disappeared into its depth in no time. After a while, Rocky found himself sliding rapidly at nothing less than a 45-degree angle.
