Chapter 334 A Land Of Wonder
Rocky spent the whole evening in the cave, where he studied the Mysterious Beast Transformation
Skill. The next morning, he observed the injury on the Rainbow Glow Unicorn''s foot and checked if it
was healing properly. When he ascertained that the Rainbow Glow Unicorn had healed enough to walk
with the three beasts.
He found that there were more higher level wild spirit-manipted beasts as he got closer to his
destination. He observed that when he had just begun the journey, the spirit-manipted beasts he
saw were often one-star bottom grade wild spirit-manipted beasts. After a while, two-star second
grade wild spirit-manipted beasts reced their weaker counterparts, gathered around in groups. As
he traveled farther, he started seeing three-star second grade or even three-star third grade wild spirit-
manipted beasts. With this pattern, he expected to see precious and rare spirit-manipted beasts
as he got nearer to their destination. Plus, such spirit-manipted beasts would surely show up driven
by their attraction to Uriah''s savory saliva. Nevertheless, a sense of crisis came over Rocky on his way.
As a result, he had to reorganize his objectives and ns. He especially had to dwell on his goals that
he needed to achieve while he was in this ce. He determined that the widening of his horizon and
collection of information would be his primary objective. Second to this, he wanted to find treasures that

could help him make a breakthrough and reach the Heavenly Stage.
Fortunately, none of the three-star third grade wild spirit-manipted beasts he metter was as tough
as the Three-tailed Aquatic Lizard to beat. It was even unnecessary for him to fight against them by
himself. Uriah and Rubygon were able to beat them by themselves, which made him feel absolutely
proud of them. All the while, the Rainbow Glow Unicorn only watched the fights from a distance and
avoided confronting the fierce wild spirit-manipted beasts by itself. Rocky shook his head at the
remembrance that he had such a cowardly but greedy beast.
Along the way, Rocky was deliriously happy when he found several extremely rare treasures that were
simrly effective as a primary Dark Heaven Egg. He also met quite a few spirit-manipted beast
species that he had never seen before, which he enthusiastically searched for in the Beast
Encyclopedia as soon as he saw them. Some of them were rare species, such as Nine Tattoo Lion,
ck Blood Neofelis and Runaway Cony Cat. None of them proved very capable, but meeting them
was a good experience for Rocky. He not only increased his knowledge but also collected many
samples.
After he beat three three-star second grade Clouded Buffaloes, Rocky and the three beasts
replenished their strength and continued on. Before long, Rocky saw a vast forest in front of his eyes.
Densely distributed, the trees looked so tall that they almost touched the clouds. The sun was covered,
and the thickness of the trees muffled the sounds from outside. The forest seemed to be perpetually
enveloped in dark mist that added to its already frightening appearance.
As they walked through the ce, the strong aura of wild spirit-manipted beasts came from inside
the forest. It felt like innumerable wild spirit-manipted beasts were hiding in the forest, which
ratcheted up its frightening atmosphere to terrifying levels.
"It seems that I will arrive at Myriad Beasts Ground as soon as we get past this forest," Rocky mumbled
to himself after careful thought. He was a little bit nervous but at the same time, his body was almost
trembling in excitement at the thought of what would happen and what he would find as soon as he
stepped foot at their final destination. From his analysis, the forest could be viewed as the periphery of
the Myriad Beasts Ground. They would touch the Myriad Beasts Ground as soon as they passed
through the forest.
They were still a good distance away from the Myriad Beasts Ground, but even its periphery, the forest,
already felt so horrifying and intimidating. Rocky believed wholeheartedly that the Myriad Beasts
Ground was an extremely dangerous ce.
In the past, when he had just arrived at the Wild Spirit Land, Rocky had heard that there were many
miraculous ces that inhabited wild spirit-manipted beasts. Beast-ughtering Valley and Cloud
Deity Gully were both famous in Wild Spirit Land but they were actually just moderately dangerous
ces whenpared to the Myriad Beasts Ground that he was about to reach. Side by side, the
beasts in Beast-ughtering Valley and Cloud Deity Gully would look like innocentmbs next to the
beasts of the Myriad Beasts Grounds. And there were still many simrly dangerous ces in the Wild
Spirit Land, still undiscovered and unexplored. Human poption had long been stamped out in the
most dangerous ces. Only spirit maniptors above the Divine Stage dared to enter there. Despite
their skills, they still needed to be very careful when they traveled through those ces, otherwise, they
could lose their lives at any time.
It is because of this danger that the majority of human poption would never know exactly how
amazing the Wild Spirit Land was.
"Be careful when we enter the forest, unless you''re feeling generous and want to feed yourselves to the
other spirit-manipted beasts here," Rocky said in warning to the three beasts as he looked at them
with smiling eyes. All the three beasts looked quite vignt. As spirit-manipted beasts, their senses
were more sensitive, which made them more capable of detecting foreign presence than spirit
maniptors. At the moment, they could clearly sense the threats in the forest.
"Let''s go," Rocky ordered as he gestured the beasts to follow him. With a deep breath, he led the three
beasts and walked into the forest.
As soon as they entered the forest, Rocky saw how the trees blocked the sun''s rays and darkened the
whole forest. He walked cautiously, ufortable that he could only see things within a few meters. If
something dangerous showed up, it would be too near to defend himself. There were lush nts and
trees everywhere, and even the grass was as high as his knees. Rocky felt like he was walking in an
ancient forest except that there was no naked ape to see.
Fortunately, Uriah could serve as a living illumination device. The moment it lit a me on its body, the
surroundings became more visible. It was a little dangerous because the light could draw the attention
of wild spirit-manipted beasts. However, Rocky believed it was better to be attacked when they
could see and defend though, than being attacked by some foxy wild spirit-manipted beasts by
surprise andpletely defenseless.
When they had fought against thest two groups of wild spirit-manipted beasts before they entered
the forest, Rocky had noticed that those wild spirit-manipted beasts were smarter than those they
had met earlier. They seemed to be capable of an ambush and they could attack them in surprise. But
most surprising of all, they seemed to know how to choose an advantageous position. Therefore,
Rocky thought that the wild spirit-manipted beasts became more cautious and intelligent as a result
of their living environment—the cruel mechanism of survival of the fittest.
"Unlike domestic spirit-manipted beasts who have masters, the wild spirit-manipted beasts have
no choice but to do their best to adapt to the severe environment they have in order to survive. This
allows them to reach their potential, or they could die defenseless. That''s the reason that wild spirit-
manipted beasts look stronger than their domestic counterparts." Rocky uttered his analysis as he
stroked his chin slightly.
All of a sudden, a deafening noise, which sounded like the trumpet of an elephant came through.
Rocky swore it could wake the dead as he desperately tried to cover his ears. He noticed the trees a
few meters from him began shaking fiercely. Then with a burst of great noise, a group of big trees fell
on the ground one by one, as if they were hit by something extremely heavy.
Rocky''s brows furrowed at the scene. With his eyes, he hinted the three beasts to step backwards
immediately. As they moved, the nearest trees started falling as well. From there, a giant, about a
height of five or six meters appeared in front of their eyes.
The giant stood upright like a human. Its six arms waved up and down as it walked. It had hoofs for its
feet and they looked humongous. Rocky''s brain supplied that when encircled, its arms were as tall as
two men. The giant could stamp down a tree with a height of more than ten meters with only one hoof.
It had a long nose, like that of an elephant''s. As powerful as a tornado, the nose could blow big trees
down.
Rocky felt himself erupt in cold sweat. He had seen this giant in the Beast Encyclopedia. It could be a
Trunk Giant. ording to the Beast Encyclopedia, a Trunk Giant was like a forest guardian. It would
walk around the whole forest in a specific route. Along the way, it would clear away wild spirit-
manipted beasts. In this way, it maintained the bnce among species in the whole forest. Trunk
Giants lived only in ancient and sunless forests, which were mysterious andrgely unexplored ces.
Rocky never even thought he would be able to see one.
The lowest grade of Trunk Giants were in three-star level, while the highest grade of them were in five-
star level, which had the same strength as spirit maniptors at the Supernal Stage. It showed that the
highest grade of Trunk Giants were horrifyingly capable war beasts. The Trunk Giant was also included
in the list of war beasts among the spirit-manipted beasts. It was known for its fierce attack force.
Fortunately, the Trunk Giant in front of Rocky''s eyes at the moment was only of three-star third grade.
Nevertheless, this Trunk Giant was giving out a simr aura to that of Uriah or the Three-tailed Aquatic
Lizard they had met before.
