The Medallion

Based on his previous experience, Rocky was certain he and this Fire Rock Turtle would end up in a fight. He was not worried, because his current strength was more than enough to deal with such a creature. Without a doubt, it would surrender or crumble under his power.

However, the fierce fight that he expected did not happen. The Fire Rock Turtle did not advance to challenge him. Instead, its body started to shrink and slipped back into the ethereal crystal which served as its shell.

Before long, the crystal gave off a strong spiritual power and became ablaze with radiant spiritual flame. It spread like wildfire and burned the ground several meters from where he stood. The flame was so fierce, Rocky could not go near it. The situation just became more difficult for him.

Rocky's head began to ache. He could not attack the ethereal crystal, even if it would force the Fire Rock Turtle to go out. Blasting the crystal would cause it to break and could hurt the Fire Rock Turtle. If that happened, all his efforts would be in vain. It was just too risky.

"What a weak creature! Shame on you!" Rocky felt so frustrated, he could not help but curse. Back when he tried to capture the Dark Heaven Insect, it required a lot of force. After all, it was a brutal confrontation. But it was not as irritating as this. This creature hid itself inside the shell and did not respond despite his efforts. Everything he did was pointless, and it annoyed Rocky.

Rocky needed to get on in his journey and hunt the spiritual treasure as soon as possible. He could not afford to waste so much time with the Fire Rock Turtle. With this, he focused his mind with the task at hand, hoping to come up with an idea on how he could seduce it to come out. A moment later, he took out the few magical saliva he had kept, and placed the bottle right in front of the turtle. If it relented and dared to come out, he would knock it out at once.

It was too dangerous, and he decided not to fight against the Fire Rock Turtle to avoid any accident. Instead, he pretended to give up and left. But he did not leave at all. The moment he was out of sight, he summoned Ken and instructed it to sneak quietly near the turtle. They waited for the perfect time, and it was not too long when the turtle came out.
