Chapter 423 A Dire Situation

As the yellow spiritual crystal was implanted into the center of its forehead, the flower-shaped Timber spirit-manipulated beast let out a strange hiss. Its razor-sharp tooth got exposed as the mouth opened and closed like a fish gasping for air. The six large flower-shaped tentacles laid flat with tension. Suddenly, it stretched out in all directions and started swelling up, growing bigger and bigger.

Subsequently, in several blooming sounds the six tentacles exploded as an overblown balloon, instantly transforming its appearance to a sharpened blade edge. Then, its flower-shaped giant head inflated and exposed another identical flower-shaped head from the other side, almost as a clone head of the original one.

Meanwhile, the other Timber spirit-manipulated beast also began to mutate. The spines originally covering all over the trunk came off instantly. Its gigantic trunk whopped down on the ground as if its root was struck deep into the ground. Its upright body resembled a bare cactus.

At the region were the spines came off, large pores opened up. A large amount of sticky liquid was secreted from those pores which flooded all over its body. Soon, like a drill, its body began to drill itself directly into the underground. Instantly, its whole body was planted into the ground with only its three heads remaining above the ground.

Shortly after, the ground cracked up, leaving a plethora of fissures and it seemed like something was ready to pop up at any moment. With a thundering sound, the three heads pulled out its body. The body looked completely transformed with rows of long and big iron prickles grown out of the pores from where the spines had come off. The size of the body was significantly enlarged resembling a spiked mace making it more aggressive.

Alyssa nodded in satisfaction as she witnessed the mutation of the two Timber spirit-manipulated beasts after their star upgrade.

"The aptitudes of these two Timber spirit-manipulated beasts are excellent. The result of their mutation after the elevation is evidently impressive. It is working quite well. In preparing them for a perfect mutation, I have been racking up my brain for the best solution." Samson nodded proudly while explaining.

"Only a beast manipulated expert like Master Sun could accelerate their mutation in the star elevation." The elevation of each star for a spirit-manipulated beast would result in the vigorous progress of their power. Both the Timber spirit-manipulated beasts were at the third grade of four stars, which was a cultivation base as strong as the spirit manipulator of the Heavenly Stage. That was indeed a remarkable elevation! Alyssa had no hesitation in complimenting him.

"Thank you for your compliment princess. I'm truly flattered," Samson replied pleasurably with a fist-and-palm salute showing his modesty.

"When can you complete the elevation of the remaining beasts?" Alyssa continued the conversation.

"It can be finished within a few days," Samson replied while counting his fingers as a fortune teller.

"Good. I'm going in for a frontal conf

iege to the Hippo Land but failed every time. Worse enough, he lost an Elite Commander and a Frontline Commander during the three attacks.

Out of his wits, Lance gave an order to send a message to Rocky hoping that he would offer help to relieve the dreadful situation.

On the other hand, Rocky had finalized the plans for the construction of an integrated laboratory in the Magic Spiritual Space. While he was working on his plans, he received a message from a Carrier Beast. The message was a summons from Lance.

"Is Lance capable of being the Commander in Chief? He was badly defeated despite leading an army almost twice the number of that of the Timber Deity Empire!" Rocky could not help but force a smile as he finished reading the message from Lance.

But since he had an agreement with Lance earlier, he had to suspend his plans for building the new lab. He had to rush back to the main camp of the Crimson Dragon Army at the front line.

Two days later, Rocky came back to the main camp at the front line. As soon as he entered, he sensed the large crowd. Among them were spirit manipulators who were unknown to him. But he sensed their cultivation base to be above Heavenly Stage. Everyone was gravely serious as if they were attending someone's funeral. Silence blended with air which became the sole thing they could breathe in.

Rocky saw a sour face with a heavily furrowed forehead as his eyes settled on Lance.

But as soon as he walked in, Rocky was placed under a spotlight compelling everyone to look at him.

Isis, who was present at the camp of the Commander in Chief stared at Rocky immediately as she seemed to work herself through a puzzle.

Marin was also among the crowd staring at Rocky.

Lance was relieved at the moment he saw Rocky. He slightly unfurled his thick eyebrows as he directed his hand to order, "Rocky, approach to take your mission!"

Rocky had a bad vibe as Lance did not say anything else other than giving out his direct order. Even though hesitant, he stepped forward for responding to the mission.
