The Medallion

Chapter 1927 Losing Confidence

"Are you sure? You know that this task will be very dangerous." Alex still had qualms. However, after seeing how confident Rocky was, she knew that he might have a way to deal with the demonic spiritual beast.

"Don't worry about me. Anyway, I am the weakest among the team, so I should at least do what I can to help us get out of this area. But please ask Spiritual Emperor Finnegan to save me afterwards," Rocky replied with a soft chuckle.

Hearing this, Alex turned to Finnegan, and he just nodded in agreement.

"Alex, what are you thinking? Just come with me and I will protect you. I will even make sure that you are the first to pass this cave," Abdullah immediately said after hearing what Alex and her team agreed upon.

"It's fine. We will send Rookie as our representative," Alex declared firmly. Then, she hurriedly turned around so that Abdullah could not bother her anymore.

Seeing that Abdullah had failed to catch Alex's attention again and again, all the Spiritual Emperors present could not help but show a hint of mockery in their eyes.

Because of Abdullah's identity, many people in the spiritual race would always show him respect. However, Alex did not care for it, and she was one of the very few people who dared to ignore him.

Of course, after being snubbed by Alex again, Abdullah got more pissed off. Since he knew that the most important thing as of the moment was to clear the trial first, he directed his frustration towards Rocky. "Hey, brat! Didn't you see how powerful that demonic spiritual beast was? If you still want to live, then you'd better back off now. Don't blame us if you wet your pants later!"

"Well, you should worry more about yourself." Rocky just smiled as he walked away. Then, he began floating into the air and soared above the burrows under the watchful gazes of the crowd.

"What? Is that the Floating Skill?" Seeing what Rocky just did, the spirit warriors present were shocked and confused at the same time.

After all, the Floating Skill was a unique skill of the Xiayu Clan. It should be impossible for someone outside their clan to master it.

Abdullah's face instantly darkened upon seeing that Rocky could use the Floating Skill. He was infuriated that Rocky was trying to steal his thunder, so he immediately followed closely behind. At the back of his mind, he had no intention of being overshadowed by a mere nobody.

Soon enough, Mila also followed them as the representative of the Lingji Clan.

After a while, Rocky, Abdullah, and Mila entered the area that was full of burrows. In order to quickly attract the attention of the demonic spiritual beasts, they deliberately dispersed in different directions.

Not long after, a demonic spiritual beast sensed them and surged out of the burrow beneath Rocky. It opened its huge mouth in an attempt to devour him whole.

Witnessing this, Alex grew worried about Rocky.

On the other hand, Abdullah was not able to hide the sneer on his face, hoping that the savage beast would actually swallow Rocky and kill him off.

Quickly noticing the huge beast, Rocky's eyes narrowed, and he instantly unleashed his fighting energy at the Mystery Stage. It formed an invisible barrier that blocked the beast when it tried to chomp him down. At the same time, it was hurt by the fighting energy.

Because of the pain inflicted by the fighting energy, the demonic spiritual beast hurriedly returned to the burrow to hide.

Of course, the Spiritual Emperors were flabbergasted to see that Rocky was able to fend off the ferocious beast. They couldn't understand what he actually did to defeat it.

Abdullah got overconfident. He thought that if Rocky could easily send the mighty beast away, then he obviously could do the same.

However, the strength of this demonic spiritual beast was equal to that of a Spiritual Emperor at the primary stage. Plus, it was a little stronger than ordinary spiritual beasts. Abdullah was also just a primary-stage Spiritual Emperor, so it would be extremely hard for him to defeat it. As expected, when he faced the demonic spiritual beast, he made a spectacle of himself.

Meanwhile, Mila seemed to be much stronger. She and the third demonic spiritual beast engaged in a fierce fight, but they fell at a stalemate.

"Don't dawdle around! Use this chance to get past the burrows while those three are distracting the demonic spiritual beasts!" Anita sternly ordered.

Without wasting any time, the spirit warriors from the three teams rushed towards the opposite direction.

Eventually, with Rocky, Abdullah, and Mila facing off with the three demonic spiritual beasts, the spirit warriors easily passed through several rows of the burrows under the ground.

After being entangled with the first demonic spiritual beast, Rocky was able to get away and move forward. On the other hand, the beast did not have the intention of letting him escape. It immediately chased after him, moving from one burrow to another.

However, Rocky's figure was like a soaring dragon that hastily crossed the clouds. No matter how fast the demonic spiritual beast was, it couldn't catch up.

This made the spirit warriors even more astonished. They couldn't fathom how a mere primary-stage Spiritual King could handle a demonic spiritual beast, which effortlessly devoured a premium-stage Spiritual King just a while ago.

After Rocky outdid the demonic spiritual beast that was chasing after him, Abdullah also tried to steal the show and led the demonic spiritual beast that he was facing forward. NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

Mila also followed suit.

With the efforts of the three decoys, the three teams were also able to pass through the burrows smoothly. In fact, they had already covered more than two-thirds of the distance from the original point.

However, just as the three teams were about to reach the end of the area that was covered with burrows, something unexpected happened.

All of a sudden, two more demonic spiritual beasts popped out of the burrows in front of the three teams and blocked off the exit.

At the same time, two more demonic spiritual beasts appeared behind them. They were instantly surrounded, and the beasts were about to form a pincer attack.

In fact, two unlucky members from both the Xiayu Clan and the Lingji Clan were caught right after the demonic spiritual beasts suddenly appeared from behind them, and they instantly suffered a brutal death.

The moment the spirit warriors saw this, they were fazed and felt shivers down their spines. They came to realize that nothing could be so easy inside the Ethereal Valley. The first test was already this hard,

so it was already expected that the next ones would be even harsher.

"Spiritual Emperor Anita! All of us should work together in order to get out of here. The situation is getting out of hand. You can't just stand there anymore! Come on. As long as we can kill the two demonic spiritual beasts in front, we can just ignore the rest and move to safety!" Abdullah shouted, feeling a bit desperate.

Anita understood what Abdullah was saying. The situation had turned for the worst, so the premium- stage Spiritual Emperors could not afford to just wait until more became victims. Soon enough, the three clans reached an agreement.

Without further ado, Anita and the premium-stage Spiritual Emperor of the Xiayu Clan rushed towards the two demonic spiritual beasts that were blocking their way. At the same time, Finnegan was responsible for taking care of the two at the back.

After a fierce battle, one of the demonic spiritual beasts in front was finally taken down by Anita through her absolute strength. With this, a gap which they could pass through was opened.

"Hurry up! Run as fast as you can!" Anita ordered.

The teams rushed past the demonic spiritual beast that had just been killed, intending to break out of the encirclement.

However, just as the spirit warriors thought they could successfully pass through this time, a demonic spiritual beast suddenly flashed with demonic light all over its body and went berserk. Its strength was now equal to that of a Spiritual Emperor at the premium stage.

All the spirit warriors were struck dumb. This demonic spiritual beast, which was only originally at the primary stage of the Emperor Realm, suddenly increased its strength and broke through to the premium stage. This was unheard of and did not make any sense.

However, they also realized that they were in the Ethereal Valley. This place was so mysterious that anything might really happen, even if it defied common sense.

'It seems they won't let us go that easily. This place really is something!' Rocky thought to himself as he let out a bitter smile.

This was only the first test, but three spirit warriors had already died. Because of this, many spirit warriors lost their confidence.

"Everyone, be careful. This is far from over."
