Chapter 135 Real Losers


    Born after a longbor, the cub breathed faintly as if struggling to survive. Its skin was blue, which


    wasn''t normal. The cub was no doubt in a dangerous situation.


    From a small bag, Rocky immediately took out a half-full bottle of magical saliva, which he had


    collected after he got into the military camp. The previous magical saliva he possessed ran out in the


    fierce fight in the Witch Pce. So this half-full bottle of magical saliva was literally his only treasure


    now. Despite that, he did not hesitate to share this to the struggling cub. He opened the cub''s mouth


    with his fingers, ced the bottle right before its mouth, and removed it after the cub licked the bottle


    once. He was worried that the cub couldn''t endure the strong effect of the saliva so the small portion


    should be enough. He then gently massaged its breast with his fingers.


    The saliva didn''t bring the cub to life right away. It made him worried, but he had strong faith that the


    cub would recover. A few momentster, its skin color gradually turned red and its breathing became


    smooth. Rocky breathed a sigh of relief.


    The spirit-manipted beast howled weakly and stared at Rocky and the cub in his hands. It was like it


    was asking about its baby''s health.


    "It is very healthy," Rocky said to the beast. The beast began licking its baby when Rocky brought the


    cub near it. The cub gradually opened its eyes and its eyes were full of light, which was likely a


    response to its mother''s summon.


    Seeing its baby was sound and safe, the beast started to close its eyes slowly. Actually, it was almost


    dead but it had to bear to thest moment until it saw its baby. Despite the struggle, it had to at least


    make sure that the baby was safe.


    The beast turned to Rocky and shed a single tear before shutting its eyes. Rocky knew it was a request


    and an expectation. Rocky saved the cub''s life which showed how responsible and trustworthy he was.


    "I''ll take care of it and raise it." Rocky nodded to the beast as an agreement. He tried to give it a


    reassuring smile. The beast tried to smile back with its eyes and eventually closed them.


    Rocky felt sentimental and deeply touched by the maternal love of this beast. If it were not the cut he


    had caused, the beast and its cub could still be together now. But he knew he had to do that even it


    was cruel.


    "Little baby, it''s time to bid your mother farewell." With the cub resting in his arms, Rocky took a final


    look at the dead beast and bowed to it before leaving the cave.


    After exiting the cave, Rocky turned around and sted a fire from his hand. The cave copsed with


    loud crash. May it rest in peace. Rocky covered the cub with a ripped cloth from his military robe and


    left the Maze Forest.


    Soon he returned to the military camp unnoticed and went back to his room.


    Uriah came up to Rock right away when he was back. Finding a cub in his hands, Uriah blinked a few


    times and let out a howl. It shook its head and suddenly licked the cub''s face.


    "You seem to like it. Are you a female beast?" Until now, Rocky still didn''t know Uriah''s gender.


    Fortunately, it seemed Uriah liked this cub''spany. It could take care of the cub during his absence.


    "Now, this cub is your baby. Let''s call it Rubygon," Rocky said to Uriah as he put the cub on the bed.


    Happy about what Rocky said, Uriah jumped to the bed immediately and covered the cub with its body


    like what a mother did to its baby.


    Suddenly someone knocked on the door.


    Rocky went to open the door and was greeted by none other than Thor and Joss. Afraid of them seeing


    little Rubygon, he intentionally blocked their view of the room.


    "Rocky, where were you? I didn''t see you when I came back," Joss asked.


    "Well, I rushed to the toilet because of my diarrhea." It was a lousy excuse, but Thor and Joss believed


    him anyway.


    "Why did youe here?" Rocky asked them.


    "Themander asked us to tell you that she was looking for you. Also, we want to congratte you


    on your promotion to be our captain," Thor said to Rocky. From his smile and words, it was obvious that


    he thought Rocky was a hundred times better than Zander.


    Rocky had totally forgotten about the promotion. It was only a few days after he came to the military


    camp. The rise in position was totally unexpected, though it was only a humble squad.


    "Okay, I will go thereter." Rocky nodded to them and then mmed the door. It closed with a loud


    thud.


    Rocky instructed Uriah to look after little Rubygon. He went to a well to cleanse the blood in his hands.


    Afterwards, he went to themander''s tent, which was at the center of the whole camp.


    On his way there, Rocky noticed that a lot of soldiers and spirit maniptors were talking about him. It


    seemed that they took great interests in him as if he was an unearthed treasure. He didn''t realize that


    he was now the talk of the camp after being promoted to the captain of the sixth squad. What made


    Rocky known was not about the contribution that he had made but his ipetence. They thought that


    Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.


    the sixth squad would definitely be a trash one with an incapable captain like him.


    A lot of people still didn''t understand why Marin promoted Rocky to captain. No one believed it was


    Rocky''s capability but his luck that helped him bring the whole sixth squad back to the camp safe and


    sound.


    The rumor about Rocky was now heatedly discussed in the camp. So he was for sure a well-known


    person right now. Rocky did not like the attention he was getting.


    Rocky was stopped by two guards who were the spirit maniptors at the fourth grade of the Mortal


    Stage. Seeing him ragged and in a torn military rope, they shouted at him, "Who are you? Do you know


    where this is? This is themander''s tent. You piece of trash, get away from here!"


    "I''m the new captain of the sixth squad. Themander asked me toe." Rocky nced at them,


    answering nonchntly. He didn''t like their tones but he didn''t care enough to engage them into an


    argument.


    "Ah. So the loser captain are you." The two guards surveyed him with scorn, "What a loser."


    "What is themotion out there?" From the tent came an authoritative female voice.


    The two guards were scared out of their wits upon hearing the voice. They signaled Rocky at once to


    get in.


    Rocky looked at them with disdain, thinking they were the real losers. However, they were not worth his


    time and energy. He rolled his eyes and walked towards the tent.
