Chapter 1713 A Strange Creature


    The giant peered down at Rocky with big, dark green eyes. He didn''t try to hurt him. It looked like he


    was just curious.


    "Who... are... you?" the giant asked in a slow, deep voice. From the way he spoke, it was clear that he


    was not fluent in Rocky''snguage.


    For a moment, Rocky hesitated. He didn''t want to answer the question because he might say


    something wrong and make the giant angry. Thest thing he wanted was for the giant to attack him.


    The aura the giant was emitting was extremely strange, and Rocky was afraid that the creature had


    power that was equal to or higher than the Emperor Realm. Therefore, he remained cautious.


    "Who are you?" Rocky asked in return after some thought.


    "I''m... the Wind Monster..." the giant answered with some effort.


    "Sir, I''m really sorry. I never meant to disturb you. I am here because I fell from the cliff. Could you


    please tell me where I am and why you are here?" Rocky asked as politely as he could. He was pretty


    sure that the giant didn''t want to harm him.


    "This is the holynd. I''m the gatekeeper. My master asked me to guard this ce..." the Wind Monster


    answered.


    "This is the holynd? That means it''s a forbiddennd. Sir, are you going to send me away?" Rocky


    asked hesitantly. He had no intention of staying here very long. After all, he didn''t want to risk a fight


    with the giant in front of him.


    "No, you can stay here. You have the aura of my master," the Wind Monster answered calmly.


    "The aura of your master? Is your master..." Rocky trailed off. At the mention of the Wind Monster''s


    master, Rocky thought of the headless corpse in the Martial Spirit Graveyard that was also the master


    of the Scarlet Heaven Jade. If they were the same person, that meant that the master of the Scarlet


    Heaven Jade had a deep connection with the royal family of the Shura Race. Otherwise, how could he


    have ordered the Wind Monster to guard the holynd of the Shura Race''s royal family?


    "You have my master''s aura so you know where he is." All of a sudden, the Wind Monster was looking


    at Rocky expectantly.


    His gaze made Rocky hesitate. But he couldn''t hold the news back forever. "I do. He is dead."


    "Dead? That''s not possible. My master is the king. He has an immortal body. He can''t die..." The Wind


    Monster was starting to panic. A violent aura that was equal to the strength of a high-grade Spiritual


    Emperor filled the air. Rocky steadied himself and held his hands up to the Wind Monster to calm him.


    "Why would I lie to you? Rocky replied.


    "No... My master isn''t dead..." Growing more irrational, the Wind Monster stomped his huge feet


    against the dirt. The whole area trembled, sending sand and stones flying.

    "Calm down, sir!" Rocky shouted over the noise.


    "Who killed my master? Was it you?" the Wind Monster used, staring at Rocky with wide,


    threatening eyes.


    "No... No. It wasn''t me..." Rocky shook his head firmly.


    "Then why do you have his aura?" the Wind Monster asked in a deep voice. The killing intent he was


    emitting became thicker, like he was preparing to attack Rocky.


    "Because your master''s power merged with me..." Rocky answered honestly.


    "What?" The Wind Monster tilted his head to the side. He walked closer to Rocky and started slowly


    circling him.


    Rocky stayedpletely still. He stered an innocent look on his face and let the Wind Monster think


    it out.


    After a long time, a loud thump was heard and the Wind Monster was kneeling and bowing to Rocky.


    "Greetings, master..."


    "Well... I''m not your master." Rocky looked sheepishly at the Wind Monster.


    "You share my master''s power, which means you are my master''s sessor. That makes you my next


    master," the Wind Monster said. Already, he was more fluent with his words.


    "I see." Rocky noticed that the Wind Monster was a loyal creature. If he continued to reject it, they


    would have troublemunicating. So, he asked the Wind Monster, "How long have you been here?"


    "I don''t know..." the Wind Monster replied, shaking his head.


    "Did your master give you any instructions before he left?" Rocky had always wanted to know who the


    mysterious corpse was, but he had never gotten the chance. Now, he had identally entered the holy


    as many questions as he could. It was obvious that he was meant toe here.


    "He asked me to guard this ce until the day he returned. Unfortunately, he can''t do that now," the


    Wind Monster answered in a sad voice.


    "Didn''t he tell you what you should do if he didn''te back?" Rocky probed.


    "He said that I should tell the secret of the holynd to the first person whoes here and make him


    the guardian of the holynd," the Wind Monster replied.


    "That person would have required guidance from your master to get here. That means that I am that


    person!" Rocky finally understood that it was not a coincidence that he came to the holynd of the


    Shura Race''s royal family. Fate had arranged everything.


    "Yes."


    "Okay. What is the secret of this holynd?" Rocky asked.


    Before the mysterious corpse had disappeared, he had asked Rocky to take back the throne for him.


    And now, the Wind Monster was telling him that the mysterious corpse was the king of the Shura Race,


    so Rocky assumed that the mysterious corpse was the king who had once ruled the Shura Race. He


    must have been taken away from the throne and died. The former holynd of the Shura Race''s royal


    family had been deserted for hundreds of years. That meant that the mysterious corpse also died a few


    hundred years ago and the Wind Monster had been in the holynd for at least that long.


    Rocky reckoned that the secret that was hidden in the holynd could overturn the rule of the Shura


    Race''s royal family.


    "The secret is in the Holy Sun Pce. Please follow me..." the Wind Monster said.


    He led Rocky out of the area they were standing in and they traveled along a winding, stone path. On


    either side of the path, there were high walls.


    After many steps, Rocky had to squint his eyes because a beam of very bright, dazzling sunlight was


    hitting him in the face. The closer he got, the more his eyes adapted. There was a pce that was a


    hundred meters high in front of him. It was showered in bright light.


    "I didn''t expect the holynd of the Shura Race''s royal family would be this pure and holy..." Rocky


    Shura Race unleashed a holy vibe. It was theplete opposite.


    Rocky had a faint feeling that the secret might be able to answer the questions that he had been


    holding close for such a long time.


    "Master,e up." Rocky looked up to find the Wind Monster bending down and pointing at his


    shoulder.


    "Are you taking me up there?" Rocky asked.


    The Wind Monster nodded in response.


    Without any hesitation, Rocky jumped on his shoulder.
