The Medallion

After Rocky went back to the house, he fetched the bow and arrows along with other necessary equipment. He then took Uriah and Rubygon to sneak out of the military camp and head for the last possible location under the jurisdiction of the northeast military camp where they could possibly find the Dark Heaven Insect.

This location was in the southernmost part called the Carcass Valley. The name itself was terrifying enough, not to mention that it was an area where wild spirit-manipulated beasts wandered, which made their exploration rather dangerous.

By the time Rocky arrived at the Carcass Valley, it was already dark. It was also very quiet all around.

The Carcass Valley was rich in foliage and water, which made it suitable for different wild spirit-manipulated beasts to survive. It was easy to assume there were at least hundreds of spirit-manipulated beasts wandering inside the valley. Luckily, it was already late at night which meant that most wild spirit-manipulated beasts were already resting in their nests except for the nocturnal ones.

A rustle came from a thick patch of grass where a figure then appeared, followed by two smaller beasts that differed in size.

They were Rocky and his two beasts - Uriah and Rubygon.

"Howl!" Rubygon growled nervously. This was the first time it followed Rocky into a dangerous place like this.

"Shhhh, you have to keep quiet." Rocky gestured to Rubygon.

Uriah also hit Rubygon's little head tenderly with its claw as a way to let it know that it must be quiet.

"This place could be really dangerous. I have sensed auras of different wild spirit-manipulated beasts from all directions." Rocky frowned. If he took out the magical saliva in a place like this, he would immediately be surrounded by a group of wild spirit-manipulated beasts before the Dark Heaven Insects could even show themselves.

However, the magical saliva was also the only way to attract the Dark Heaven Insects and it had certainly placed him in quite a dilemma.
