"How long was I out this time?" Alyssa asked Rocky, her voice raspy from disuse. She was embarrassed, for she had fainted two times in his presence. And every time she fainted, it was in a compromising situation and a feast for his eyes, which he never failed to take advantage of.
"You've been sleeping for about six hours," Rocky calculated roughly.
"That long?" Alyssa narrowed her eyes in displeasure, both at herself and Rocky, then asked, "How are you feeling now?"
"I feel all right," Rocky answered simply. He felt well enough at the moment, and besides, he had thought about the situation in his body while she was unconscious. He found that after he broke through to the Supernal Stage, his whole body had changed greatly, and the veins that could contain spiritual power had also become wider than before. It allowed him to use both the evil spiritual power and the Fire spiritual power at the same time, smoothly and freely.
Alyssa nodded at his answer with a satisfied expression, as she was pleased that her efforts had paid off. She patted herself free of dust and dirt, as she said, "It's almost time for us to see grandma." "Okay," Rocky answered as he stood up.
Just as the two of them were about to leave, a strong earthquake suddenly occurred in the northeastern part of the Spiritual Pasture Valley. Everyone in the valley could easily feel it.
"What's going on?" Rocky turned to Alyssa and asked.
"I don't know. Earthquakes rarely occur here in the Spiritual Pasture Valley, and it had never been so severe before. It seems to be centered at the northeast, and that place is..." Alyssa seemed to think of something and her face turned serious. She flew down from the tree house and summoned her spiritual beast.
"Come on," Alyssa shouted at Rocky.
Hearing the alarm in her voice, he readily jumped after her and landed on her spiritual beast.
Then, under Alyssa's tight control, the spiritual beast flew to the northeastern part of the Spiritual Pasture Valley.
Soon after, Rocky began to feel something strange. At the same time, the dragon-shaped jade hanging on his chest started warming up, until it became scorching hot as if it was sensing something.
"What's in front of us?" Rocky turned to Al
al masters could find a way to destroy it, so they had no choice but to seal it in the end," Alyssa replied.
"I want to see what this ancient spiritual beast looks like," Rocky couldn't help but say.
"Don't even think about it. This cave is a forbidden area. You can't just enter it because you want to. Just give up the idea, okay?" Alyssa glared at Rocky, but she was also worried about him. The Mysterious Cave was not only a forbidden area, but it was also very dangerous.
In response, Rocky just shrugged indifferently as if he got bored with the topic.
"The earthquake was very strange, so let's go and check it out first. If there is nothing unusual, we can go back to see grandma," Alyssa continued.
While the two of them were talking, Alyssa's spiritual beast had flown to the area where the earthquake occurred. When Rocky looked down, he saw a large pit on the ground, as if the ground had been hit by a meteorite. The pit looked so deep that it appeared bottomless.
At this moment, the entire pit and the surroundings were still shaking violently, as if they were affected by some kind of power.
"The pit below is the Mysterious Cave where the ancient spiritual beast is sealed. But what happened here? Why is it shaking so violently?" Alyssa asked in surprise, as she gazed down at the pit.
At this time, many clansmen of the Wood Clan flew over from another direction. Most of them were spiritual slaves, and only a few in the lead were ordinary spiritual beings.
