As Marin was making plans to retake control of the Rough Slope from the Timber Spirit Empire, Rocky was advancing to the Myriad Beasts Ground. He groped his way through the mysterious forests. It was like a maze in which he would never find a way out.
He was aware that the deeper he went into the forest, the more dangers he would have to encounter.
Rocky felt like he had been traveling through the forest for years already. He had so far encountered the Trunk Giant and the cluster of Venom Hounds some time earlier. He would have died if he fought them outright, but he tricked them to engage in a battle against each other instead. Thanks to that, he was able to leave the scene unscathed and immediately continued on his journey to the south. The further he went, the stronger the wild spirit-manipulated beasts were. The spirit-manipulated beasts at the second grade of the three-star level were everywhere. They were as prevalent as the rubbish one or two-star wild spirit-manipulated beasts in the previous areas. On top of that, even the spirit-manipulated beasts at the third grade of the three-star level were also gathered in packs and herds. Although none were as powerful as the Trunk Giant, it could be their end if they fought against more than one.
With this dangers he had encountered, Rocky proceeded with extreme care. He gave his utmost effort and chose routes that had no evident tracks of spirit-manipulated beasts. This strategy did not fully rid him of attacks but it did lessen these encounters which made these situations more manageable.
Rocky would have regretted entering the mystical but highly perilous forest if not for the precious treasures it also held. Thanks to the Rainbow Glow Unicorn, Rocky had already discovered three priceless rare treasures in only half a day's time. These treasures were more effective than the Dark Heaven Egg. The discovery convinced him that there must be more precious treasures in his coveted destination, the Myriad Beasts Ground. However, from the dangers that surrounded its periphery and made up its border, one could easily surmise how much more dangers it surely held.
Rocky's train of thought was interrupted when he saw that the Rainbow Glow Unicorn seemed to be ready to proceed on their journey once again. He had decided to take a short break before they entered a dim basin which was surrounded by marshland.
"Do you sense anything?" Rocky tapped the elegant, slim neck of the Rainbow Glow Unicorn as he asked it.
The Rainbow Glow Unicorn raised up its head alertly and then ran forward suddenly. It had taken a few steps as Rocky watched until it disappeared.
Rocky hinted at Uriah and Rubygon that it was time they tailed the Rainbow Glow Unicorn. They followed it into the marshland basin which was full of hazardous traps. Rocky and his beasts tensed, as little by little, they traveled deeper into the marshland. It got darker each step they moved forward. Flying bugs and termites were everywhere and strange growls and howls echoed from everywhere.
Not too long after, they found the Rainbow Glow Unicorn as it stood beneath a tree. It was staring at an abnormally gigantic tree that stood a few hundred feet away. Just its trunk seemed to be at least ten feet in diameter. Its branches and leaves were spread out to shade the surrounding environment. Besides its size, it exuded the feeling of something ancient and powerful. Something that had existed even before all the trees and beasts around were alive. It had grown in the middle of a swathe of swamp. It seemed peaceful at the first impression, but a closer observation revealed the unearthly power that throbbed within the tree.
Rocky wondered what kind of treasure it could be hiding as he checked out the old tree from afar. It did not take long before he found a tree hole in which some sort of gem kept glittering.
He was distracted when all the three beasts suddenly became restless as if they wanted to come closer too.
When he saw this behavior, Rocky's eyes narrowed in contemplation. He speculated that it was a spiritual crystal because only this treasure could attract all the three beasts. The spiritual crystal seemed to be endowed with an irresistible charm to any spirit-manipulated beast. It was a unique treasure that was especially effective if he wanted to elevate the star level of a spirit-manipulated beast.
In fact, this kind of spiritual crystal in its lowest grade would give more power if eaten by any beast compared to other rare treasures. It would probably take multiple rare treasures to attain the power that the crystal could bestow.
