Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master novel Chapter 1643

"Don't. I'm here to make a deal with you." Beverly snapped impatiently.

"Oh, never in my wildest dreams would I have thought the spiritual race would try to strike a deal with us humans!" Rocky smiled devilishly.

"Just hear me out," Beverly persisted.

"Fine. What is it?" Rocky asked, curious as to how this was going to play out.

"Do you know why the spiritual race is after that Emperor Realm spiritual beast?" Beverly asked in a level tone, eyeing Rocky carefully.

"I don't," Rocky said with a shrug. The truth was, he knew exactly why they were here--the spiritual race was after the sacred weapon in the ruins, not the Emperor Realm spiritual beast.

"That beast is not ordinary--it's the Beast of Fire and Ice, which has lived on the mountain for hundreds of years," Beverly explained. "It has been rumored that it is a direct descendant of the ancient legendary beast. If we can get the Fire Pill and Ice Pill within its body, we will be able to obtain its powers. Not only that, we will also gain command over thousands of beasts. This is why our commander in chief has ordered us to come here--to hunt the beast and take its two pills. However, we didn't expect to cross paths with you humans here." At this point, she rolled her eyes in exasperation, as if the mere thought of humans made her blood boil.

"I see." Rocky scratched his chin, pretending to be deep in thought. However, he knew Beverly was lying.

"So, in order to successfully complete this mission, I am willing to cooperate with your human army to kill that beast. Once the beast is defeated, we can split the two pills between our races." So, this was the deal she was offering.

"Sounds good, but will your commander in chief agree to that?" Rocky asked tentatively.

"The commander in chief didn't explicitly say she wanted both of the pills. Plus, with your human army pestering us, it will be difficult for the spiritual race to deal with you and the beast at the same time. It's better if we work together!" Beverly reasoned with a shrug.

"Then how sure are you that we will be able to kill that beast?" Rocky asked, brows knitted.

"Of course, I'm not 100% sure. After all, that beast is extremely powerful. Not to mention, it is protected by the spiritual beast army. Like I said, if we cooperate, we will have a higher chance of winning!"

"How can I trust that the spiritual race won't go back on their word and attack us out of the blue? I can't risk that!" Rocky exclaimed, pretending to briefly consider Beverly's proposal.

"I'm willing to swear on my own life that what I say is true. If my words prove false, I shall be struck by lightning and die a horrible death..." Beverly placed her hand on her chest. Rocky knew she wasn't lying about something in her story; after all, she needed the Beast of Fire and Ice dead in order to get into the ruins. She was just using the beast as an excuse to get the human army to do the dirty work for them.

Unbeknownst to her, Rocky already knew about the sacred weapon.

"I can tell you're being sincere. I will think it over," Rocky lied. He couldn't turn her down outright. He needed to use Beverly's ignorance to his advantage.

"Then I'll wait for your decision." With that, Beverly nodded then leapt into the air and flew away.

"It seems the Beast of Fire and Ice and I need to have another talk," Rocky murmured. In the next moment, he vanished into thin air.

A moment later, he appeared in front of the Beast of Fire and Ice's lair. The entrance to the lair was littered with all kinds of spiritual beasts. However, Rocky managed to slip past them stealthily and entered the lair with ease.

There, he found piles of yellowed beast skulls and bones on the ground, and some treasures like luminous pearls on the top, making the whole place well-lit. Navigating his way through the lair, he finally came across the Beast of Fire and Ice, who was dozing off in its nest.
