An indescribable feeling rose from the bottom of Alyssa's heart when she saw what he looked like now. As if overwhelmed by the feeling, she heaved a sigh and unconsciously put her hands on her chest, as she grabbed her clothes, wrinkling it. She bit her lips until it turned red and puffy, and she worried it almost to the point of drawing blood.
At this moment, Moon Fox, who was in the middle of its business suddenly threw its head back and let out a long bark, which rushed up and resounded through the whole temple. Along with its deafening bark, it gave out a very strong aura, and the red light around its body became stronger and stronger at every passing second.
As the strong aura swept over the old temple, it began to tremble as if hit by an earthquake.
"What the hell is going on? Why is Moon Fox giving such a strong reaction?" Alyssa uttered in a low voice, and in the next moment, her eyes widened in great shock. She remembered the last time that Moon Fox had acted like that! It was when it conducted the prediction using Rocky's blood for the first time.
"What's wrong with Moon Fox? Is it okay?" Rocky approached her and asked, looking concerned.
"I don't know. It is reacting more violently than the first time. I think... I think it is resonating with your blood," Alyssa replied even while she shook her head in disbelief. She understood that the more violent Moon Fox acted, the bigger the impact that Rocky's blood had on it. That was the only explanation.
Under the continuous impact of Moon Fox's power, the old temple began falling apart. Its ceiling started cracking as the pillars fell, and the fragments of the tiles shattered to tinier pieces and scattered all over.
"Let's get out of here!" Rocky shouted, seeing that the situation was not good.
Alyssa nodded her head reluctantly, still lost in her thoughts, so he grabbed her arm and jumped out of the temple as quickly as possible.
The moment that they jumped out, the entire building crumbled to the ground with a big bang behind them, and they kept their heads down, as it stirred up all kinds of dust and debris that flew in all directions. Shocked by the sudden noises, all the beasts and birds ran for their lives in turmoil. At the same time, Moon Fox quieted down, but they couldn't see what it was doing, as it was still within the confines of the ruined temple.
Rocky and Alyssa stood quietly at a safe distance from the site and watched until the dust dissipated. Then, they found that Moon Fox was resting on the ruins under the moonlight, looking up at the moon.
As if it sensed that someone was looking at it, it looked away from the moon toward its feet. A few minutes of tense silence passed between them, but suddenly, Moon Fox reared its head and met Rocky's eyes.
He immediately felt a burst of heat, and some vague fragments began to flash in his mind, but it disappeared before he could see it clearly.
"Are you okay? You look hurt!" Alyssa asked when she heard the pained grunt that must have escaped him. He did not even notice, as he was too busy staring intently at Moon Fox.
"It's nothing. I'm fine." Rocky then closed his eyes to calm down. Although he couldn't see those fragments clearly, he could still feel that the scene was somewhat similar to what he had seen in the Myriad Spirit Tomb.
"I hope so. But even if we know you're the one, we still have no idea what to do with the curse. As far as I know, no one knows how to lift it, even the spiritual race; since the curse has never been broken since the day it was born. Thus, we need to work on it." She sighed and shook her head in dismay. It seemed that finding Rocky was just the beginning, and now, the next big problem that they had to tackle was how to lift Alyssa's curse. Her head was beginning to ache from all the thinking.
"Then what shall we do next?" Rocky said with a long sigh. He needed to be prepared for the difficulties ahead.
"My curse reacted when I was cultivating with you for the first time, so I think maybe we can find a way to remove it when we cultivate together," Alyssa suggested after a long moment of thinking.
"I hope so!" Rocky said unpleasantly. The uncertainty on Alyssa's face made him worry that they were nowhere on the right track. However, this was not what worried him the most. After all, her curse had nothing to do with him at all. The problem was that they might not be able to completely lift the curse by the end of the month. Although Alyssa had promised to let him go back to the Holy Dragon Empire, she might not keep it if they failed to solve her problem. He needed to come up with some other plan just in case things did not go as they planned it to be.
He was sure that she wouldn't hurt him at that moment, and not until her curse was gone. After all, she had been going through untold hardships for the same reason, and she had to stay patient when she was close to what she wanted.
Meanwhile, Alyssa needed to pay attention to something else besides the curse. She had cultivated together with Rocky with him as the spiritual vessel, and he was the only one that she could cultivate together in this life. Unless she stopped the idea of cultivating together, she would have to ask Rocky for help.
For now, they decided to try cultivating together, but after one night of cultivation, Alyssa still could not find a clue. On the contrary, Rocky benefited a lot from it because Alyssa's cultivation base was much higher than his. Unconsciously, it hastened the speed that he integrated the evil power in the third layer.
