Chapter 421 The Atrocity

"It couldn't be her. That's impossible! I am nothing more than a mean idiot who means nothing to her," Rocky replied before letting out a loud chuckle—a facade he constantly kept up whenever Isis was around.

"I don't believe it. Mr. Bai, it's not that difficult to understand why all the women flock towards you like moths to a flame or bees to honey," Laney replied earnestly, the sympathy in her eyes clear as daylight.

"If that's what you believe, so be it. I ought to get going now," Rocky replied with a grin on his face and a shrug of his shoulder.

"Alright then... Would you like to help tuck me in for the night, Mr. Bai? I'm so exhausted right now that I can barely take a single step," Laney asked as she blushed—the nerves from earlier were still lingering on her skin.

"Aren't you afraid I'll hurt you?" Rocky—fully aware of his flirtatious ways—teased with a cheeky grin.

"I don't think you will," Laney uttered seductively. She knew Rocky wasn't the type of person who took advantage of anyone, so she knew that being with him wasn't a huge mistake—for now, at least.

Rocky laughed out loud. Cradling Laney in a sweet embrace through the sheer curtain, he gently laid her down on the bed. "Miss Laney," he began, "it is a great honor to know you fancy me. Unfortunately, I have other important matters to attend to right now. I'm sorry to disappoint you." Without a second to lose, he immediately turned around and left.

"Who are you, Rocky? No one can seduce you—not even me." Laney told herself as she stared at Rocky intriguingly.

Leaving Laney's room behind, Rocky went through the back yard to escape the Geisha House.

Midnight—a bone-chilling breeze blew through and past the few people on the street.

"Seems I have to find an inn to stay at." Rocky decided that returning to the military ca

ad an equal in the Wild Spirit Land. It was well known that the greater the spirit-manipulated beast's size was, the greater the amount of destruction it could unleash. The higher ranking beasts such as dragons were often the only ones who boasted a strong, tough body. Ordinary spirit-manipulated beasts were merely two meters tall and less than four meters long.

Although Rocky was impressed by the size of the Trunk Giant he saw in the forest outside the Myriad Beasts Ground, the Trunk Giant was still a dwarf compared to the dragons. Huge-horned Rhinoceroses, on the other hand, were almost of the same size as the dragons indicating that they were very powerful.

The Huge-horned Rhinoceros's giant horn was so destructive that it was able to penetrate a firm, thick city wall.

Thus, Huge-horned Rhinoceroses were used to help armies during battles.

Because Huge-horned Rhinoceroses were quite useful in battle. They suffered from hunting, causing them to be on the verge of extinction. It was now rare to spot one in the Wild Spirit Land.

An army of ten thousand soldiers would be no match for the Timber Deity Empire's ten Huge-horned Rhinoceroses. Releasing them onto the battlefield would spell disaster.
