Chapter 339 How To Deal With The Rare Treasure


    Soon after, news that the enemies had retaken the Rough Slope reached the base camp of the Timber


    Deity Empire.


    "Your Highness, our men were defeated and the Rough Slope has fallen to the Holy Dragon Empire!" a


    top leader.


    When the othermanders of the Timber Deity Empire heard the news, they exchanged stunned


    looks with each other. Although they knew that their princess, Alyssa never intended to hold the Rough


    Slope, it was still shocking to hear that it was recaptured so quickly. Obviously, the army that the


    Crimson Dragon Group sent to the Rough Slope was far from weak.


    "Which army did the Crimson Dragon Group send to recapture the Rough Slope? How many soldiers


    did they have?" Alyssa, who was sitting in the Commander in Chief''s position, asked immediately. She


    seemed quite calm for someone who had just lost a territory.


    "Your Highness, it is said to be the northeast army of the Crimson Dragon Group. They seemed to have


    used only a few thousand soldiers to recapture the Rough Slope." Alyssa nodded to herself when she


    heard themander''s answer, as if she had just confirmed something.


    "Of course... They would not send anyone else," Alyssa said confidently as if she nned it as well.


    "Your Highness, you have already anticipated that happening?" themanders wondered


    immediately. It had never crossed their minds and yet their princess had already predicted it. This was


    why they hade to respect her leadership despite her young age.


    "Themander of the northeast army is called Marin. Although this woman is young, she is also very


    talented in the art of war. In thest confrontation between our two empires, she made our Timber Deity


    Empire army suffer quite a loss. However, none of the information is valuable. The most important


    information we received is that she has a secret identity," Alyssa said as the corner of her lips curved in


    a cold sneer. The others could tell she had found something favorable to them when they saw how


    excited she seemed to be.


    "A secret identity?" Themanders on the spot nced at each other and immediately began to


    specte about themander''s secret identity.


    "She is the niece of the Crimson Dragon Group''s Commander in Chief, which also makes her the


    cousin of their Deputy Commander in Chief, Isis." Alyssa looked delighted as she shared this. She


    knew that not a lot of people knew this secret, even in their opponent''s camp.


    In addition to Lance and Isis, only a very limited number of highly ranked officers knew about that.


    Alyssa would have found it impossible to discover this if she was a normal citizen. Fortunately, Alyssa


    was not an ordinary person. She nted a spy in the Crimson Dragon Group, and this undercover spy


    had ess to highly ranked officers of the Crimson Dragon Group.


    After they heard this revtion, themanders were all shocked. It had never urred to them that


    these leaders could be hiding something like this. They did not realize that their princess was capable


    of subterfuge and trickery as well which made them respect her more.


    "Your Highness, does Marin have something to do with your next n?" One of themanders


    spected when they realized the pattern of her actions.


    "As far as I know, Marin is deeply loved by her uncle, Lance. He treats her like his own daughter. Isis is


    also very fond of her cousin and treats her like her own little sister. Otherwise, young as Marin, she


    could never be promoted so fast and be amander of a military camp. So, it would be natural


    to conclude that we have found one of the weaknesses of Isis and Lance—Marin." Alyssa exined to


    them with a pleased smile.


    "Your Highness, are you going to capture Marin alive and use her to threaten the Crimson Dragon


    Group?" one of themanders asked as the othermanders made sounds of agreement. It


    appeared this was a question that the othermanders had been wondering about as well.


    "No. Marin is just our bait, while Isis will be the fish. If Marin is trapped in crisis, Isis would never sit still


    and do nothing to help her cousin. Once Isis is distracted by Marin''s safety and does something silly, it


    will be a perfect opportunity that we can take advantage of." Alyssa shared her careful analysis. This


    time, she was sure that her new n would work out.


    "Commander Zuo and Commander Zhou! You two are to immediately lead 20, 000 troops and horses


    straight to the Rough Slope, and surround itpletely. But remember, you are not allowed tounch


    any attacks against Marin''s army. You simply need to cut off the provisions and fodder supply of the


    Rough Slope. Commander Sun, you will lead 3, 000 troops to the front line of the Crimson Dragon


    Group stealthily and intercept the provisions and fodder supply of the Crimson Dragon Group. As for


    the remainingmanders, continue tounch more violent offensives against all the fronts of the


    Crimson Dragon Group. As long as the fish bites our hook, the Crimson Dragon Group will definitely be


    defeated!" Alyssa rapidly assigned orders for them all. She was trying to use Marin as the bait which


    would lure Isis out of her base camp. Once the Crimson Dragon Group lost themand of such a


    wise Deputy Commander in Chief, they would be defeated easily.


    "Yes, Your Highness!" all themanders shouted in unison.


    Meanwhile, Rocky was still on vacation andpletely ignorant of the serious situation between the


    two empires. He had gotten the blue spiritual crystal and quickly left the depths of the marsh. After that,


    he found a safe bush where he could rest. There, he rested his body while he meditated on how he


    could use the blue spiritual crystal to get Rubygon upgraded.


    The blue spiritual crystal was one level higher than the yellow one. Thus, it would be easy for Rocky to


    figure out the strong spiritual power the blue one contained. After Uriah ate a whole yellow spiritual


    crystal, it was upgraded from a cub with no level of strength to a beast at the second grade of the


    three-star level. Moreover, a part of the yellow spiritual crystal''s spiritual power had been absorbed by


    Rocky himself at that time. Therefore, it could be seen that the spiritual power hidden in a yellow


    spiritual crystal was enough to upgrade a three-star spirit-manipted beast from the first grade to the


    second grade.


    It could then be concluded that a blue spiritual crystal was enough to upgrade Rubygon above the


    second grade of the three-star level. Now, Rocky just needed to know how Rubygon could absorb the


    spiritual power of the whole blue spiritual crystal at once. If Rocky fed it the whole crystal, it would


    surely cause its death. If Rocky could use the blue spiritual crystal properly on Rubygon, he estimated


    that it would make amazing leaps and bounds in its strength in a very short time.


    In the case of Uriah, he had multiple yellow spiritual crystals in the past but he was not able to use


    them properly on Uriah due to his ignorance. It could be said that such rare crystals were wasted by


    himpletely. If he had some knowledge about the function of the crystals, Uriah might have grown


    stronger than it was now.


    Uriah and the Rainbow Glow Unicorn also tantly desired the blue spiritual crystal. Unfortunately,


    they could not have it. Rocky knew that a blue spiritual crystal could not be evenly divided. Otherwise,


    N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content.


    its effect would not be that powerful. Uriah was now at the third grade of the three-star level, but there


    was still a lot of space for it to be upgraded to the fourth grade. Even if Uriah was the one who would


    absorb the blue spiritual crystal, it could be ineffective. This was why Rocky opted not to give it to


    Uriah. As for the Rainbow Glow Unicorn, it was totally not considered unless it would submit to him and


    show loyalty to him. He would not be foolish enough to invest his resources in it until it had proved its


    loyalty.


    Therefore, this blue spiritual crystal could only be absorbed by Rubygon.


    Of course, Rocky would not treat the Rainbow Glow Unicorn unfairly. It was because of its guidance


    that he found the rare blue spiritual crystal. This was why he rewarded it with three drops of magical


    saliva in a row. This reward made it so jubnt that it pranced and danced and was in a good mood for


    hours after.


    Just when Rocky was going to let Rubygon absorb the spiritual power of the blue spiritual crystal, an


    unexpected and troublesome problem urred. The blue spiritual crystal was very special, and it had a


    strong spiritual power. It could not be separated and only with the consumption of its spiritual power


    would it shrink ordingly.


    Therefore, if a spirit-manipted beast wanted to absorb the spiritual power in a spiritual crystal, this


    process must bepleted based on the spiritual power contract. A spiritual power contract should be


    signed between a spirit maniptor and his spirit-manipted beast which would then be used as a


    link. Through this link, the spirit maniptor could inject the spiritual power of a spiritual crystal into the


    body of his spirit-manipted beast.


    The problem was that Rubygon was not Rocky''s spirit-manipted beast yet. So, there was no spiritual


    power contract between them. Consequently, it was impossible for Rocky to inject the spiritual power in


    the blue spiritual crystal into Rubygon''s body.


    At first, Rocky was stumped. Common sense dictated that his problem had no solution, but he was far


    from giving up. He meditated on the problem for hours until he figured out a way. The Mysterious Beast


    Transformation Skill could be used to solve his current dilemma!
