Chapter 1930 A Skull
After seeing the unexpected scene, Alex and the rest of the spirit warriors of the team were
flabbergasted. It turned out that not only the ground was under the effect of the spiritual array, but also
the sky above it.
"This is insane! I think we'd better make a detour than try to get past this area!" Finnegan suggested
with a frown. It was pretty obvious that with the current strength of their team, they would just dig their
own grave if they insisted on going through the snow land. Hence, he thought that it was better to find
another way than die here.
"Not so fast. We can still safely pass through this area," Rocky said in a calm tone.
"What are you talking about? Have you thought of a way to overcome the power of the spiritual array?"
Alex asked and looked at Rocky with furrowed brows.
Of course, Rocky knew how they could easily get out of there, but he didn't want to expose his strength
too soon. However, he also thought that if he didn't make a move now, the team would probably have
to make a detour. In fact, since he had entered the Ethereal Valley, he could act alone with Vivian to
easily accomplish their task. He just wanted to express his gratitude to Alex because he was able to NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
enter the Ethereal Valley smoothly this time all thanks to her. Therefore, he decided to act with Vivian
after they paid Alex in full.
Naturally, what Rocky had in mind was that Alex and the Wankong Clan could gain something in the
Ethereal Valley and also regain the prestige of their clan.
"I have a way to greatly boost the speed of the entire team, but I need everyone to completely follow
my orders. And I mean obeying without any hesitation!" Rocky said sternly.
Hearing this, Alex glanced at Finnegan and the other spirit warriors before declaring, "As long as you
are a hundred percent sure to succeed, we will listen to you."
At the back of Alex's mind, she knew that they only overcame the first test thanks to Rocky. Otherwise,
they might not even be alive right now. Thus, if he told them that he could get all of them out of this
predicament again, then they would be more than willing to listen to him.
"All right then, wait a minute." Right after saying that, Rocky walked aside and entered the palace with
his mind.
"Prepare a few defensive divine treasures for me. I need some that are enough to protect seven or
eight people," Rocky told the guardian of the palace.
"Master, although you have unlocked a new level of divine treasures, it will take a lot of spiritual power
to activate one. Moreover, you can only use a divine treasure once in three days," the guardian
informed.
"I know. Let me handle the rest. Anyway, make sure that the defensive power of the divine treasure
must be strong enough." The important thing as of the moment was Rocky could help Alex and her
teammates get through the difficulty first. After that, he could have enough time to think of his next
moves.
With his and Vivian's strength, they actually didn't need to rely on a divine treasure to pass through the
area at all. However, Alex and the other spirit warriors were only Spiritual Kings. Therefore, without the
protection of a powerful divine treasure, it would be difficult for him and Vivian to pass through while
protecting everyone.
Then, a moment later, a strange light appeared in front of Rocky and soon turned into what seemed to
be a bone shield.
"This is the Demonic Bone Shield. It can cover a range of about ten meters, and its defensive prowess
should be enough to protect you and your companions. The Demonic Bone Shield used to be one of
the top ten defensive treasures in the Holy-Evil World. It could even block the attack of a deity at the
premium stage. However, because this is only an imitation of the original one, it would only be able to
resist the power below the God Realm at most. Nonetheless, in your current situation, I think its ability
should be more than enough," the guardian explained in detail.
"I see. This newly unlocked divine treasure is indeed extraordinary. In terms of strength, this should be
even more powerful than the one I previously used in the Ghostly Demon Land," Rocky replied, fully
satisfied to hear about the capability of the Demonic Bone Shield.
After that, he hurriedly left the palace and returned to his body.
"Listen carefully. This is what we are going to do. All of us will form a straight line with Tripp at the rear,
while I take lead. We are to proceed with our hands held together. Then, the moment we enter the area
that is affected by the spiritual array, I want all of you to release your spiritual power to the fullest. I will
use everyone's spiritual power to boost the speed of the team. Is that clear?" Rocky asked after
explaining everything.
"Young Master, are you sure you want to take this risk?" Finnegan asked. Of course, he was still
worried because they had already seen the horror brought by the power of the spiritual array.
"I believe in Rookie. Finnegan, if you and the others feel worried, I won't stop you from leaving and
making a detour," Alex answered without a shred of hesitation. Although she knew that her statement
didn't sound good, she had to say it in order to make them put their confidence in Rocky.
However, even after hearing Alex's resolve, Finnegan and the other spirit warriors still could not help
but look at each other reluctantly.
"What are you so worried about? With Rookie, there is nothing that can't be done! This is the Ethereal
Valley. If you want to gain something from it, you should be prepare to take a risk. Besides, if you make
a detour, do you think that you will be able to get anything? Chances are the warriors ahead of you
would have already acquired it," Vivian said convincingly. Of course, everything she said was true. She
just picked the right words to say, knowing that everyone had a greedy side. Hence, they should
eventually have the urge to risk their lives to fulfill their selfish interests.
As expected, as soon as Vivian finished speaking, the spirit warriors of the Wankong Clan had a
sudden change of heart. They all walked towards Rocky and Alex to proceed with the plan.
Seeing this, Finnegan could just sigh. He had no other choice but to join them.
"Then, let's do this!" Immediately after, Rocky turned around and faced the area under the spiritual
array.
Alex followed closely behind Rocky while the other spirit warriors also arranged themselves according
to Rocky's instructions. Finnegan stood second to the last, and Vivian was responsible for guarding the
rear.
Then, everyone held the hands of both the people in front and behind them.
"Are you ready?" Rocky took a last glance on the team before releasing the spiritual power which was
equal to a Spiritual King's.
Afterward, Alex also released her spiritual power. At the same time, the other warriors released their
spiritual power one after another. Then, after everyone had already activated their spiritual power to
form a close connection, Rocky shouted, "Go!"
As soon as Rocky gave the order, he immediately recited the marching poem in the Army-blessing
Scroll. Soon enough, everyone in the team, including him, began to feel that their speed was growing
as if they were just sliding on ice.
Naturally, the spirit warriors of the Wankong Clan were startled. They didn't know how Rocky managed
to really pull it off.
In fact, with the number of the people in the team, it was not enough for Rocky to display the strength
of the Army-blessing Scroll. However, the spirit warriors were much stronger than ordinary people, and
the strength of a Spiritual King was actually equivalent to a hundred soldiers. Therefore, the spiritual
sense formed by Rocky and the other warriors was already enough to produce a morale of a thousand
soldiers. This way, he could still manifest and use the strength of the Army-blessing Scroll.
However, just as Rocky and the others rushed into the area that was bound by the spiritual array,
vicious ice thorns also started popping out from the ground one after another, intending to stop them
from moving forward.
At first, the ice thorns didn't catch up with the speed that was exhibited by Rocky and the others. But as
their spiritual power was gradually spent, it eventually started to weaken. As a result, the team's morale
also began to decline, making their speed slow down.
Because of this, it didn't take long for the ice thorns to catch up with them. Then, to their surprise, a
mountain of ice thorns was suddenly formed in front of them. They knew that if they collided into it, they
would definitely be courting death.
Seeing this terrifying scene, the spirit warriors couldn't help but panic. In fact, they instantly regretted
believing Rocky to take this crazy risk.
On the other hand, Rocky already expected this to happen. At this crucial moment, he unleashed the
Demonic Bone Shield that he got from the palace.
In an instant, the Demonic Bone Shield turned into a huge skull that enveloped Rocky and everyone
else in the team.
