Chapter 860 Know Nothing About Beast Curing
Simr to the beast evaluationpetition, the beast curingpetition was to see who could best
diagnose the injuries and illnesses of the spirit-manipted beast and then administer proper
treatment. The five judges would review the diagnoses and the treatment methods adopted by the
Thispetition also had three rounds, so the n which won two or more rounds would be the
ultimate winner. To be imed the champion, a n would need to defeat all three beast curers from
the other n.
After the first beast curers of both the ns assumed their positions, two spirit-manipted beasts,
which looked rather weak, were brought out and ced on the table in front for them to make a
diagnosis.
Wasting no time, Travis and the beast curer from the Qi n immediately began checking their
respective beasts.
Amidst this tense atmosphere, the audience couldn''t help but notice something strange. Although the
beast curer from the Qi n had finished his diagnosis and started administering the corresponding
treatment on his beast, Travis was still taking his time on his diagnosis. He looked ratherid-back as if
he was on vacation and not at apetition.
"What the hell is our brother doing?" Mary asked with a perplexed expression on her face. She knew
Travis''s ability well; by right, he should have finished diagnosing the beast long ago. So why was he
standing there doing nothing?
The members of the Cao n had also noticed Travis''s abnormal behavior and exchanged confused
nces with each other. It almost seemed like he was cking off on purpose.
On the other side, Alexander, the chief of the Qi n, cracked a knowing smile in their waiting area.
"I bet the Cao n won''t be able to figure out what''s going on even if they rack their brains for an
exnation. Who would have imagined that something like this would happen at such a critical
moment?" he sneered.
"Those who do not have justice on their side will get little help. They should me themselves for going
against the will of the people," Tate added and cast a stern nce at the Cao n on the other side.
"The princess has promised us that she will announce our n as the first n of the Timber Deity
Empire if we defeat the Cao n this time. It''s a pity that the princess and the other princes aren''t here
to watch thepetition in person due to His Majesty''s sudden summon. If the princess was here, the
Cao n would have to submit to us right here today! Anyway, there is no hope for them to win. We
can wait, and after we''re awarded, we''re going to root out the Cao n. The time wille soon,"
Alexander sneered with acent look on his face, as if he had his hand around the neck of the
Cao n.
In the waiting area of the Cao n, a look of realization appeared on Rocky''s face as he watched
Travis''s careless behavior. After thinking for a while, he turned to Luci and said, "Chief Luci, I want
you to do me a favor."
Reluctantly pulling her eyes away from Travis, Luci asked, "What is it?"
"Forgive my rudeness, but please send Juey instead of Miss Mary for the next round," Rocky said
seriously with an expectant expression on his face.
Everyone who heard him turned to him in shock.
"What?" Juey shouted, echoing everyone''s sentiments out loud.
"Mr. Rookie, may I ask why? Miss Juey isn''t proficient at the Beast Curing Skill. Even if we lose the first
round, there are still two more rounds to go. If Yang can wake up in time, we''ll still have a chance to
win," Lucas cut in before Luci could reply. He thought that Rocky wanted Juey to go up on the stage

because he believed that the Cao n was entirely devoid of hope. Juey had be the chief of the
Xiao n, and if she showed up there, it might be good for both herself and her n.
"Mr. Rookie, I agree with Lucas. I''m sorry, but we won''t give up until thest moment," Luci replied.
She also knew that the Cao n had a very slim chance of winning now, but she did not want to give
up so easily.
"But can''t you see, Chief Luci? Travis has been bought off by the Qi n," Rocky said bluntly.
"What? How could it be?" Luci shouted, almost copsing from her chair in shock, but the next
moment, everything seemed to make sense to her.
"Please don''t talk about my elder brother in that way, Mr. Rookie. He would never betray us!" Mary
snorted, unable to agree with Rocky''s conclusion.
Beside Mary, Juey also shook her head at Rocky.
"How can you be so sure that he has been bought off, Mr. Rookie?" Lucas asked. As a matter of fact,
he had also guessed the same thing, but they had no proof at the moment.
But he had hardly finished his words when the spirit-manipted beast in front of Travis suddenly
foamed at its mouth. It twitched a few times and then died in despair.
The audience gasped in shock and whispered to each other, pointing at the dramatic turn.
Meanwhile, the members of the Cao n all stared at the stage, tongue-tied, as the beast took itsst
breath.
"See, do you believe my words now?" Rocky said with a sigh, sweeping his eyes across the members
of the Cao n. He was not surprised at all.
"Oh, what did you do, Travis? I can''t believe it!" Mary cried, shaking her head in disappointment. Juey
also widened her eyes in shock.
"That bastard! How dare he betray the Cao n? I''m going to kill him now!" Queenie roared, clenching
her fist in anger. She would have rushed up and killed Travis right then if there were not so many
people around.
"Everything is clear now. I''m afraid that Yang''s heart attack was not an ident either," Rocky added
with narrowed eyes.
Upon hearing this, Luci became a little flustered. If Rocky''s guess was right, then the Cao n was
doomed. They had been pushed into a corner.
"Mr. Rookie, can you tell us why you want Miss Juey to participate in the second round? We''d be d
to hear it," Lucas suddenly said. Having gone through a lot of ups and downs in his life, he was able to
remain calm and think clearly even in such a desperate situation.
"I have a n in mind. If you want the Cao n to win, just listen to me and send Juey to the stage,"
Rocky said firmly.
"Are you sure about that, Mr. Rookie? I need to remind you that Juey knows nothing about beast
curing! She has never been trained," Mary cut in. Having grown up with Juey, she knew better than
anyone that Juey had no talent in beast curing whatsoever, let alone enough talent to turn the tide and
win the contest for the Cao n.
"Don''t you want to know why I insisted that Juey be the chief of your n? You will understand after
she goes onto the stage," Rocky said with a smirk, ncing at Mary. Then, he looked at Luci for her
opinion. As long as Luci agreed, things would go smoothly.
However, Luci still hesitated, unable to make up her mind.
"Right now, we have no other choice but to try Mr. Rookie''s idea," Lucas chimed in from behind. Even if
they called other beast curers from their n now, there was no telling if they would be able to win the
Lucas was inclined to trust him since he had witnessed firsthand how Rocky had won the beast
evaluation contest for them the other day. If there was any chance of them winning, it would be
because of Rocky. They had no choice but to ce a bet on him.
Luci trusted Lucas, so she was finally swayed by his words. She bit her lip and turned to Juey. "All
right, Miss Juey, get ready for theing round. You''re our only hope, so do your best! Don''t let us
down."
Although Luci''s words were meant to be encouraging, Juey became a little uneasy after hearing
them. She had promised Rocky that she would go all out, but this was the first time she would ever
participate in a contest, so she felt nervous. Besides, she was worried that she wouldn''t be able to win.
Seeing the anxious expression on her face, Rocky walked over to her and smiled. He took out the
surgical tools bag that he usually used and handed it to her. "Don''t forget your promise to me. Just do
your best. I know you can do it!"
Looking at the ground, Juey took a deep breath. Then, she raised her head and nodded firmly at
Rocky. Slowly but steadily, she reached out her hands and took the bag from him.
