Chapter 997 The Capture Of The Fire Rock Turtle
"However, ording to the records of the Beast Encyclopedia, the Fire Rock Turtle is born timid. If it
senses any movement, it will immediately run away and hide. Compared with the Dark Heaven Insect
that likes to live at the bottom of caves, the Fire Rock Turtle likes to stay in ces with very high
temperature, just like the fiery pit it just came out from. So, once it runs away, there is no chance that
we can chase it at all. Unlike the Fire Rock Turtle, it''s impossible for us to jump into the fiery pit..."
Rocky thought for a while and began to analyze the Fire Rock Turtles'' habits based from the Beast
Encyclopedia''s records. He had to consider every way there was to capture the Fire Rock Turtle,
because he might only have one chance. If the Fire Rock Turtle escaped into the fiery pit, there would
be no chance for him to capture it. It would take an extremely long time before the Fire Rock Turtle
came out again from the fiery pit.
Currently, the Fire Rock Turtle was still slowly climbing out of the fiery pit. Its movements were terribly
slow, which was natural since it was indeed a turtle. A spirit maniptor who was clueless of the Fire
Rock Turtle''s habits would have pounced on it impatiently. However, if that happened, then the turtle
would definitely be scared away.
With rich experience in capturing the Dark Heaven Insect, Rocky was not in any rush to make a move.
He first took out the magical saliva that could attract any spirit-manipted beast and transferred one
drop into an empty bottle. Then he gently put it on the ground, trying not to make any noise. After
putting the bottle down, he began to step back slowly.
Since the magical saliva was incredibly irresistible to any spirit-manipted beast, the Fire Rock Turtle
immediately reacted to the magical saliva. Its round head reached out so high to take a look around. It
was definitely searching for the magical saliva.
However, the Fire Rock Turtle was a very timid and highly vignt kind of beast. It kept searching for
the magical saliva with its eyes, but its body did not move at all. It was standing very still as if it was too
old to move.
"What? Even the magical saliva cannot make the Fire Rock Turtle rx a little?" Rocky murmured to
himself. He was dismayed when he saw that the Fire Rock Turtle was not moving towards the magical
saliva at all.
A half hourter, just when Rocky was about to lose his patience, the Fire Rock Turtle finally moved.
But it was awfully slow, as if it was painful for it to move. It crawled up from the fiery pit with great effort
and finally revealed its whole body.
In fact, the Fire Rock Turtles were no different from normal turtles. Except for their fiery red skin, the
only unique feature of the Fire Rock Turtles was that they had magnificent ethereal crystals on their
backs. These ethereal crystals grew as their protective shells. ording to the Beast Encyclopedia,
the reason why the ethereal crystals grew on the back of the Fire Rock Turtles was because this kind
of turtles were like an elixir refining furnace since they always stayed in ces with high temperature.
The Fire Rock Turtles always ate rocks which were their favorite food. After they digested the rocks,
the minerals from the rocks were mixed with the spiritual energy gathered in their body. Under
constantly high temperature, the content after refining was all deposited to the back of the Fire Rock
Turtle, thus, finally forming brilliant ethereal crystals.
When Rocky saw that the Fire Rock Turtle was finally climbing up, he immediately hid himself. He
retreated to a hideout that was more than ten meters away from the magical saliva. He tried his best
not to let the Fire Rock Turtle notice him. At the same time, he made sure that he could catch it with
only one move.
Since the Fire Rock Turtle crawled incredibly slowly, it took an hour for it to go from the fiery pit to the
ce where the magical saliva was ced.
When he saw that the Fire Rock Turtle was near the magical saliva, Rocky pulled out his Frozen Wind
Dagger. He assumed his position and he waspletely ready to attack.
However, to Rocky''s surprise, the Fire Rock Turtle stopped and suddenly extended its round head.
Then, it opened its tiny mouth to form a round gap. Then, it spurted out hot streams of fire pulp. The fire
pulp centered around the magical saliva.
Rocky hadpletely no idea what the Fire Rock Turtle was doing. As soon as the fire pulp touched
the ground, it turned like liquid andpletely melted the ground. Suddenly, a torrent of me rushed
up from the ground to the top of the cave. It surrounded the Fire Rock Turtle and the magical saliva
inside. It was a powerful protection ring to prevent external forces from entering and disturbing what the
Fire Rock Turtle was doing.
Rocky''s face waspletely stunned when he saw this. He didn''t expect that the Fire Rock Turtle was
smart enough that it didn''t forget to protect itself before enjoying the magical saliva. He thought that if
he rushed to the Fire Rock Turtle now and avoided the fire column, it would definitely affect his speed
which was crucial to the n. If he went a little slower, he might have no chance to capture the Fire
Rock Turtle. Although the speed of the Fire Rock Turtle was very slow, judging from the power of the
fire pulp it spewed, he believed that the Fire Rock Turtle definitely had other ways to escape. Rocky
needed to prepare for all possible oues.
So, Rocky didn''t dare to rush forward. At this moment, it seemed like that Fire Rock Turtle was about to
enjoy the magical saliva.
It didn''t matter if a drop of the magical saliva was lost. Rocky was more worried that the Fire Rock
Turtle would run away after eating it. So, he couldn''t risk the Fire Rock Turtle finishing it. He needed to
capture it before it finished eating.
Rocky thought for a moment. Then, he immediately poured a stream of spiritual power into the Frozen
Wind Dagger. After the dagger was covered in spiritual power, he quickly threw it out. It looked like it
came out of nowhere, like it was an actual hidden weapon. After the Frozen Wind Dagger drew a
beautiful arc in the air, it passed through two fire pirs. Then, itnded right in front of the Fire Rock
Turtle, disturbing its delicious meal time.
The timid Fire Rock Turtle was frightened by the Frozen Wind Dagger''s movement. It was also terrified
of the dagger which was an alien object to it, like a creature from the outside world. It immediately
became alert. It was getting ready to spit out magma. However, a wolf shadow had already flown out of
the Magic Spiritual Space. It was the magical Robin. Robin opened its mouth, and spewed out cold air.
In an instant, the ground waspletely frozen. Robin stopped the Fire Rock Turtle from taking any
opportunity to escape.
Seeing that there was no way to escape, the Fire Rock Turtle immediately turned around. The short tail
behind it suddenly swung like a vicious wind-fire ring. Then, its whole body rapidly rushed forward, as if
a rocket was installed behind its body. Its speed totally changedpared to its slowness earlier.
However, Rocky, who had expected that the Fire Rock Turtle would use its other skills to escape, had
Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
already rushed to the other side of the fiery pit as fast as he could after he released Robin out.
In fact, Rocky intentionally alerted the Fire Rock Turtle just now to make it panic. Then, he used Robin
to block the Fire Rock Turtle from escaping. This forced the Fire Rock Turtle to leave the protection of
the fire pirs and escape to the fiery pit. Of course, his ultimate goal was to lure the Fire Rock Turtle
into his trap.
Although the Fire Rock Turtle was indeed smart, it was still just a spirit-manipted beast at the end of
the day. Therefore, it would instinctively run towards itsir when threatened.
Rocky had already studied this and used this knowledge to block the Fire Rock Turtle.
