After immediately leaving the camp, Rocky tried to find the most probable location according to the scene that he had just witnessed.
Not long after, he spotted an oasis-like place about a mile away from the camp. At the same time, he saw a delicate girl with several plants surrounding her. She stood on a stone with her back on Rocky, and beside her were a few spiritual toad beasts.
"It would seem that you are the master of those spiritual beasts," Rocky uttered as he fixed his eyes on the girl in front of him.
"Who are you? How did you find me here?" A bit startled, the girl instantly turned around and appeared to have an elf-like appearance. She had long pointed ears, delicate body features and silver pupils, which proved that she was not a human being. She looked young and should be considered a beauty in the spiritual race.
"Well, your pet told me," Rocky said with a faint smile.
"Did you just say my pet? What did you do to it? Where is it?" The girl instantly got angry at the mention of her beast.
"I didn't do anything to it... yet. But perhaps I will later. It depends on you," Rocky replied indifferently with hints of a threat.
"If you dare hurt it, I swear I won't spare you." At the point, the girl was already fuming in anger.
"Do you think you are in the position to tell me that? You sent your beasts to attack our camp, but unfortunately for you, one of them was caught. So, don't act like we are the ones who are wrong here!" Rocky retorted sternly.
"Humph! I only did it because you humans have gone too far!" the girl shouted as she clenched her fists.
"Oh, really? What makes you say that? As far as I know, the members of the spiritual race were the ones who started this war." From the girl's statement, Rocky couldn't help but think that she was either naive or brainwashed.
"That's only because you humans already wanted to take action against our race!" the girl exclaimed with conviction.
"It's meaningless to talk to a closed-minded person. Anyway, since you are the master of those beasts, once I capture you, we could eventually get rid of the trouble." Even though she could control quite a number of those spiritual beasts, Rocky perceived that the girl should not be very strong and should just be at the medium stage of the Spiritual Infant. Although she was with her spiritual beasts, Rocky was confident that he could easily beat her.
"Ha! What will you do then, catch me?" the girl asked as she taunted Rocky. Then, a pair of transparent and thin wings stretched out from her back as she flew into the air.
At the same time, her beasts simultaneously pounced on Rocky.
Rocky was slightly surprised because he didn't expect that the girl could freely fly in the air. At the point, he realized that he had underestimated her. He couldn't just chase after her because the spiritual beasts were already rushing towards him.
Moreover, the saliva of those beasts was corrosive. Once they attacked him at the same time, even he wasn't sure if he could successfully dodge all of them without getting hurt.
Therefore, with his quick thinking, he chose the safest way to deal with them, which was to hide beneath the earth.
Thus, as the beasts pounced on him, they weren't able to catch Rocky because he had already disappeared from where he stood.
"Damn it! Where did he go?" The girl floated in the air and could not clearly see what happened. As Rocky disappeared from her sight, she showed a panicked expression on her face.
Then, in the blink of an eye, a figure suddenly broke through the earth and soared into the air to grab the girl.
However, the girl's reflexes were faster than Rocky anticipated. She was able to dodge sideways and eventually flew further up into the sky.
Since he couldn't stay and fly into the sky, Rocky landed on the ground again. Looking at the girl beyond his reach, he shook his head and let out a bitter smile. He thought that if they were just fighting in the previous world that he came from, he would have already captured her.
"What's wrong? Come and catch me, idiot!" the girl shouted with a defiant sneer.
"I advise you not to be so complacent, little girl!" Then, Rocky immediately pulled out his Mystical Dragon Sword from his back and forcefully swung it across the air. Immediately after, the violent sword force rushed out, which was full of destructive power.
