Chapter 520 A Strange Sound

Some two days later, two figures could be spotted hastily running across a rocky valley. They were in an obvious rush and refused to stop to rest until they were safe.

They were Rocky and Sabina. For a random passer-by, they would both look like they were fleeing for their lives.

"Let's rest here. We may have lost them now," said Rocky as he slowed down.

"I was hoping we'd get to a safer place. But it seems like we just keep on encountering more danger as we get closer to the peculiar light." Sabina frowned with fear.

Two days ago, Rocky was injured by a dangerous encounter they faced. Compared to that, the recent encounters were much less life-threatening.

"The last beasts were just a few Single-eyed Moths. They were just at the fourth grade of the four-star level. They aren't as dangerous as the Four-wing Lame Dragons that chased me off a cliff," Rocky explained. Recounting the Four-wing Lame Dragons reminded him of Cherry, the mysterious woman who saved him. He wondered if she was still in the Myriad Beasts Ground.

"Four-wing Lame Dragons?" Sabina gasped in disbelief.

"Yes. I had a quick detour around their habitat in the Myriad Beasts Ground," Rocky replied casually.

"You're just bragging!" Sabina rolled her eyes at Rocky. She figured he was just showing-off and it wasn't as bad as he's narrating.

"Look," Rocky said. "We've been going around in circles. We haven't reached the peculiar light at all." Sabina looked around. Seeing the skepticism on her face, Rocky smiled. He gazed at the direction of the peculiar light. For the past two days, they have encountered many great dangers such as spirit-manipulated beasts. They felt as if they weren't getting closer to the light.

Just that morning, th

ust have taken another route. Anyway, if a couple of wild spirit-manipulated beasts at the fourth grade of the four-star level frightened someone of your great strength, then I bet they are having an even more difficult time than us," remarked Rocky.

"This is your fault. If you gave me a bit more time to prepare, I could easily beat two wild spirit-manipulated beasts at the fourth grade of the four-star level at the same time," Sabina said defensively. She knew it was true. If she and Duchess Silver worked together, even two wild spirit-manipulated beasts were no match with them. But she knew that if she involved herself in the battle, then no one would protect Rocky.

Rocky was strong. But even with Uriah and Rubygon, they could only beat one wild spirit-manipulated beast at the fourth grade of the four-star level at most. Anything more than that would be beyond him.

Rocky smiled. He knew he was being a burden to Sabina.

Then, a shrill scream pierced through the silence of the night.

Rocky and Sabina's eyes widened. They glanced at the direction where the scream came. It was the other end of the valley, and it sounded like a woman's voice.
