Meanwhile, Rocky had already flown out of the flame mountain with Queenie. As soon as he noticed that no one was chasing them anymore, he landed swiftly and let Queenie go.
As soon as her feet were on the ground, Queenie couldn't stop herself from boasting, "Look! I did it! I grabbed the spiritual treasure. This is amazing!" She couldn't take her eyes off the strangely-shaped spiritual treasure in her hand. It felt like a prize. But if it weren't for Rocky, she couldn't have done it. Worse, she would have been severely injured by the Heavenly Wolf.
However, it didn't seem like Rocky minded it, because he was silently smiling beside her. "Yeah, you are really something!" The praise easily left his mouth, as a warm smile brightened his face. He was glad that he had planned for this in advance, or else, he could have arrived too late to save Queenie. Thankfully, he appeared just in time to fight off the Heavenly Wolf.
Now, Rocky's mission was completed since he had gotten the spiritual treasure for Woods. Woods' victory as the emperor's successor should be in the bag now, thanks to the success of this treasure hunting mission. Thus, he could go back to the Holy Dragon Empire at ease.
As he was reflecting on these things, he suddenly sensed a strong aura approaching him. When he looked up, he saw a delicate body that resembled a dragonfly, and it was rapidly falling from the sky in their direction. Thin gossamer wings were coming out of its back and sparkling under the rays of the sun. The figure's beauty felt ethereal and dreamlike as if it was an embodiment of their dreams. Any man would have gone crazy for such a beauty.
"It's so beautiful! But it seems to be a spiritual race woman..." Queenie murmured in surprise, recognizing the woman's race at a glance. She was a stunning beauty.
Of course, Rocky was shocked as well, but it was for a very different reason. The figure looked vaguely familiar to him, and the sight of her gave him an inexplicably lousy feeling at the bottom of his stomach.
Sure enough, when the delicate figure waved her hand, Queenie suddenly fainted and collapsed on the ground without any warning. The spiritual treasure in her hand flew directly into the delicate figure's hand.
"Hey, lady, couldn't you have chosen a better time to rob us?" Rocky looked at the beautiful figure in front of him with a frown. The last thing he expected when he flew out here was to meet the woman from the spiritual race, whom he had met before.
"Ha-ha! You are such a helpful man! I didn't expect that you would be able to break the enchanted barrier. And you even brought the spiritual treasure under the watchful eyes of that fierce guardian beast right into my waiting hands. You really lived up to my expectations!" The woman from the spiritual race gave Rocky an appreciative once-over, with a wicked smile on her gorgeous face.
"What do you mean?" Rocky tried not to let her know, but the bad feeling he had felt earlier had now intensified.
"You have been so helpful to me, so I'll let you guess. Why do you think the humans who should have been driven out of the Hell of Dragon Fang had suddenly gathered here?" A chilling smile appeared on the beautiful woman's face.
"Did you arrange the treasure hunting teams to come here together by using those spirit-manipulated beasts?" Of course, Rocky wasn't a fool, so he immediately understood what she was saying.
"Hmn... You are very smart," the woman admitted with a faint smile.
