Chapter 995 Magical Saliva

Since the treasure hunting teams led by other princes departed earlier than Woods' team, they also arrived earlier. Woods' team, who was the last one to arrive, found them scattered already, all over the Hell of Dragon Fang. The Hell of Dragon Fang was immense, and the six teams had made their routes ahead of time to avoid confrontation with other teams. This was because any meeting between them could lead to a fight, and that could waste their precious time even more. They decided to focus on their hunting and hoped that lady luck would be on their side today. Besides, if any conflict arose between the princes, they would be forced to leave this place, and they would lose the chance to be the emperor's successor.

Located on the southern side of the Hell of Dragon Fang was a modest camp. Here, several spirit manipulators at the Heavenly Stage patrolled with their spirit-manipulated beasts. Meanwhile, the treasure hunting teams focused on their hunting, as they headed deeper into the land.

Alyssa was inside one of the tents, sitting by a square table, along with two elders and a couple of Supernal Stage masters. They were studying a map that was spread on the table — a topographic map of the Hell of Dragon Fang.

"Prince Algy is heading south, while Prince Geoffrey is searching in the west. Prince Woods was the last one to arrive, and he is leading his team to the east," a spirit manipulator at the Heavenly Stage reported. He was standing a few feet away from her, and his eyes were respectfully trained on his feet.

Alyssa and the senior masters checked the map once they heard this information, and from time to time, they talked to each other with whispers that were impossible to overhear.

"Copy that. Tell the vanguards to keep a close eye on all the teams. Keep us updated with all the progress they make. Also, remind the vanguards to take care of themselves," Alyssa requested before waving her hand to discharge the reporter.

"I just can't understand it, Your Royal Highness. Why does His Majesty insist on using such a dangerous treasure hunting task to test the princes? There are so many unknown dangers ahead! More importantly, this concerns the secrets of the Wood Clan, so we can't afford for anything to go wrong. In my humble opinion, His Majesty should send Your Royal Highness for it in the first place, as that would be much quicker and safer!" Nester remarked with his eyebr

The egg had turned a little dimmer from its original bright yellow, but the change wasn't that obvious, after absorbing all the blood essence Rocky fed.

"What's wrong? Seriously? I gave it so much blood essence already!" Rocky frowned and then said to himself, "I don't know how the blood essence of the ancient spiritual beast will affect you, but I'm eager to find out. Maybe it will change the egg's color again... However, I need to be careful, so I can't feed it to you now."

After feeding the egg with all of the blood essence, he took two drops of the magical saliva. He noticed as he took the drops, that the bottle felt very light. This was the last bottle he had. If he used it up, there would be no magical saliva to assist him for a long time. Fortunately, after integrating the evil power at the third layer, he had reached the third grade of the Supernal Stage. After that, he would take his time to integrate that at the fourth layer, and he believed that his strength would also increase day by day. He also had the supreme treasure of cultivation, the Sea Blue Magic Jade, so he expected that the lack of magical saliva wouldn't affect him too much. However, the magical saliva had an irreplaceable effect. It could attract any spirit-manipulated beasts to a great extent, and because of this special aspect, it could play a crucial role at certain moments.

"I'll save this for special occasions then," Rocky said to himself after thinking for a while.

Then, he sat down crossed-legged and adjusted his breath. After that, he took out the Sea Blue Magic Jade to recover his spiritual power.
