Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master novel Chapter 535

"It seems that the treasure will appear soon. We should be there when it does. Even if it isn't the Sea Blue Magic Jade, it should still be a valuable treasure. All our efforts will still not be wasted," Sabina said. A thoughtful gleam brightened her eyes.

"Then we should not waste time anymore. Let's hurry up," Rocky said.

Sabina nodded her head. The two of them and the three beasts sped up.

After a short while, the sky above them was engulfed in darkness. Sabina and Rocky looked into the sky, their eyes filled with alarm. A dozen Four-wing Lame Dragons flew in the air above them in groups towards the peculiar light like a hoard of locusts that would destroy everything in their paths.

At the same time, a commotion from below caught their attention. Wild spirit-manipulated beasts were running towards the strange light from all around the valley.

"It looks like we are not alone. It seems that even these wild spirit-manipulated beasts are interested in the treasure." The sight paralyzed Rocky with shock. He stood still as the commotion caused chaos around them. He would have moved, but his mind struggled to absorb and process the scene in front of him.

After they passed the valley, they came to an elevated land that was dense with trees. The thick forest swallowed the light and made the terrain almost impassable. Their once quick pace slowed to a crawl.

"Don't just stand there. Set up those traps quickly! Don't let the spirit manipulators from other countries pass through and challenge us for the treasure!" All of a sudden, a cacophony sounded from ahead of them. The darkness that engulfed the forest blinded them to the dangers in front.

With a wary glance thrown at each other, Rocky and Sabina quickly ordered the three beasts to stay where they were. Then, they moved swiftly so that the shadows hid them and allowed them to sneak stealthily forward. They walked for a short while and came upon more than a dozen figures who were moving about busily ahead of them. Thankfully, the figures were too preoccupied with their preparations to notice that they were being stalked.

"These people must be spirit manipulators from other countries," Sabina said when she noticed the similar clothes and badges wore by those people. Her eyes sparkled with the curious desire to gather information from the strange men. These people could have information that could prove invaluable to them.

"One is at the Heavenly Stage and another one is at the seventh grade of the Heavenly Stage. Two are at the fourth grade of the Heavenly Stage while the rest are at the advanced stage of the Earthly Stage. It seems that they are all well prepared," Rocky said immediately after a perfunctory glance at the figures. His array of experiences came handy at times like these, where he was able to quickly categorize the strange people.

"Let's take a detour to avoid confrontation," Sabina suggested. She knew that if they passed through the forest directly, they would inevitably encounter spirit manipulators from other countries.

"That's the only choice we have." Rocky reluctantly agreed to her suggestion. They had no time to waste with confrontation, even though he hated that it felt like he was running away.

The two quickly returned to where they left their beasts. They were about to decide what new route they would take when several strong auras stopped them in their tracks. The strong auras were approaching them fast, too fast to run away from.

They exchanged a startled glance and promptly ran to the three beasts. After they had walked a fair distance, they hid thoroughly behind several boulders that were scattered on the ground.

Soon after, they heard the footsteps come closer and closer. They stiffened with alarm as several figures appeared in their line of sight.

They were dressed in the uniforms of the Crimson Dragon Group. A bald man who was emitting an aura at the Supernal Stage seemed to be leading them.

"It's him!" Rocky whispered valiantly when he recognized the bald man. He was sure that the man was Sheehan, the deputy head of the Elite Regiment of the Crimson Dragon Group. The two of them had bickered with each other before.

Several members of the Elite Regiment who were at the Heavenly Stage were behind him as they attentively scouted the area.

"I didn't expect that the spirit manipulators of the Elite Regiment of the Crimson Dragon Group would come too. How about we work with them? That might make our mission easier," Sabina suggested as she turned to look at Rocky. She tried to convince him with her persuasive eyes. After all, they were kind of acquainted with the members of the Elite Regiment. Right now, they were at a disadvantage as there were only two of them. They would have a better chance of obtaining the treasure if they worked together.

"No, not a chance at all. I'm sure we can never trust that bald man," Rocky sneered immediately. He seemed particularly disgusted by the thought of working with Sheehan. He saw Sheehan as a greedy and petty pig. If they joined forces, Rocky knew that he and Sabina would end up with nothing.
