Chapter 1168 The Furtive Figure

Rocky took into consideration that the spiritual race beings might not be able to fully understand the concept of genetic technology, so he used some examples and metaphors to describe how it worked in the simplest way possible.

"Prince Crimson, are you saying that with this technology, we can change the physique of the spiritual race? And when it happened, it can solve our problem regarding the race's extinction? What is this gene thing? I want to believe you but I just can't imagine how something that cannot be seen can alter the physique of the spiritual race. We've tried almost everything. Even those precious elixirs can't do anything. But you're saying that through this gene, it is possible?" Rocky understood the doubts and questions raised by the patriarch and the elders of the Wood Clan. If one didn't really learn the concept behind it, it would be hard to accept such an abstract thing.

However, Rocky was determined to help, so he still made an effort to persuade them. "Patriarch, I just need you to trust me. Give me your word and I will make sure to do my best to produce the result that your people need." Rocky already did everything to explain its concept but he knew that it wasn't enough. Thus, he didn't bother to explain more. All he needed was to make the Wood Clan agree on letting him do some experiments on a couple of their female members.

With this, the patriarch and the elders took some time to discuss the matter at hand.

"Elder Evita, what do you think?" The patriarch deeply trusted Evita's judgment, so she was the one he consulted.

"Patriarch, this matter is related to the fate of the entire Wood Clan, so it's just appropriate that the decision will come from you. However, in my opinion, the young man is very special, and you should be able to see that too." Evita didn't want to bypass the authority of the patriarch, but she made clear that she believed in Rocky.

"Patriarch, I agree with her. Please permit Basil to try what he can," Alyssa said respectfully.

After pondering for a while, the patriarch approached Rocky and asked, "Prince Crimson, can you guarantee us that it will be successful?"

"I'm afraid that I can't guarantee anything, but right now, this is the only way. I understand if you have misgivings, so I will request that you just give me three of your female members. I will take them back to Crimson City to carry out the research, and what I can guarantee is that I will ensure that their bodies will remain safe and healthy. After a month, I shall give you an update," Rocky declared firmly in front of the members of the Wood Clan.

"All

If it wasn't for the fact the Juey and Queenie were the ones in charge of the beast hospitals in the Timber Deity Empire, Rocky would have already brought them back to the Crimson City, so that he could hand over the genetic technology to them. With their inherent abilities, Rocky was confident that both of them would become his capable assistants in the future.

After staying in Timber Deity Empire for about ten days, Rocky, Isis, and the other two women left for the Holy Dragon Empire, together with the three female members of the Wood Clan. Juey and Queenie didn't actually want to let Rocky go, but they had no choice.

Upon returning to the Holy Dragon Empire, Rocky took the three women back to the Crimson City first. Then he accompanied the three female members of the Wood Clan to the genetics laboratory to begin carrying out some basic tests, which included checking upon their genetic make-up.

While Rocky was busy getting down to his work, the three women went ahead to the Palace City to accompany Lena and see little Nigel. Isis had been running here and there with Rocky for the past several days; thus, it was natural for her to miss her son.

Half a month passed quickly after Rocky and the others got back to the Holy Dragon Empire.

While Rocky was studying the genes of the three female members of the Wood Clan in the laboratory of the Genome Research Institute, he suddenly heard some strange noises outside the room. He quickly put down the equipment and decided to take a look outside. Then, he immediately saw a furtive figure flash from a distance.

Rocky was instantly alarmed and couldn't help but think of Alston. Without wasting any time, he rushed to where the figure disappeared in order to catch him.
