While the other warriors were still meandering hesitantly around the Corpse Lair, Laura and Dave took
the initiative and entered from different directions with their companions. Laura and her people followed
Audrey's advice on where they should pass since they knew that the latter possessed the Sense
Mutant.
However, Audrey didn't tell Laura that she had already obtained a token for herself. "Laura, please give
me a share when we find the tokens. I really want to join the Misty South Palace's selection
competition. After all, if I become a disciple of the Misty South Palace, the others would stop messing
with my clan," she requested, pretending that she still needed one token.
As a matter of fact, she made such a request for Ricky's sake, as he still didn't have a token.
"No problem!" Laura immediately agreed, nodding.
"It looks like Audrey wasn't lying when she said that human devils think highly of you, or she wouldn't
have made that request.
But that's not surprising at all, considering the fact that you helped them obtain the grand humanoid evil
tree. After all, the grand humanoid evil tree means everything to human devils," the Dragon Intent
Grass remarked thoughtfully.
Once they had gained access to the inner recesses of the lair, they found that it was a blood-colored
space. There were copious amounts of blood aura, corpse miasma, and evil spirit inside, and they all
felt incredibly potent.
The three kinds of powers writhed around the creepy lair and merged with one another, forming an
incredibly strong wind that was as strong as a middle spiritual emperor. This kind of wind could only be
found here in the Corpse Lair.
It could be said that this unique phenomenon made the lair an exceedingly dangerous place.
On top of that, plenty of Blood Zombies and Devil Zombies roamed around the area. Since those
zombies originated from within the lair, their powers were naturally much stronger when they were
inside the lair as well.
In sharp contrast, those warriors who came in were strangers to this place, and they inevitably grew
weaker while in the Corpse Lair.
Due to all these inherently dangerous factors, even a Blood Zombie or a Devil Zombie that had the
strength of the middle spiritual emperor could pose a big threat to them. Besides, the zombies didn't act
alone, as they almost always travelled in hordes.
Before long, Audrey and her companions arrived in a place where the token should be hidden
somewhere.
A continuously blowing wind as strong as a hurricane pervaded the area. If warriors wandered too
close, they would surely get dragged and tossed around by the wind, and the weaker warriors would
undoubtedly be smashed into pieces.
Laura and her companions wisely stopped a fair distance away, intending to observe the area first
before they jumped into the fray.
"The wind is too strong! I don't think any of us can enter this area safely. Audrey, are you sure there is a
token over there?"
Laura asked in a serious tone, gesturing to where the wind blew the hardest.
"Yeah, there's no doubt about it. Do you see that area in the middle of the wind? I can sense two
tokens around there," Audrey responded affirmatively.
'It looks like the Misty South Palace's senior warriors deliberately put the tokens in the center of the
wind, ' thought Ricky as he gazed at the said area.
"I guess the Misty South Palace wouldn't be so strong if they weren't strict in their requirements.
Otherwise, weaker warriors might sneak into their ranks. Audrey was only able to get her hands on that
token by a stroke of luck,"
observed the Dragon Intent Grass.
"Helen, come with me," Laura ordered to one girl. She then turned to the remaining people and said,
"As for you guys, you should stay here and wait for us to come back."
After that, she and Helen made their way towards the area where the wind blew the hardest. She had
chosen Helen in particular because she was the strongest among her team, not including Laura.
The second the two women set foot in that area, the strong wind undulated harder as if they had
detected the presence of the pair.
In the next moment, strong wind blades flew towards the two women.
The wind blades contained four kinds of power: the wind power, the corpse power, the massacring
power, and the devil power.
The power of each wind blade was no weaker than that of a middle spiritual emperor.
Laura and Helen didn't dare to underestimate the power of the wind blades. At once, they unleashed all
their strength and proceeded deeper into the area, ready to defend themselves at a moment's notice.
At this point, the pair had no intention of fighting the wind head-on. They only intended to endure, get
in, find the tokens, and get out. They hoped that even though they couldn't overpower the wind, they
could at least return to their companions with the two tokens safe and sound.
However, Ricky soon noticed that they were getting weaker as they went deeper and deeper into the
wind. It seemed like the suppressive force of the wind was sapping their strength.
"Audrey, can you see what's going on there?" Ricky asked telepathically, a worried crease lining his
forehead.
"The blood-colored wind has special wind power. The deeper we go into it, the more our strength would
be suppressed. In a sense, it is similar to the heavenly law's suppression, and spiritual emperors
cannot overpower it." Audrey paused with an anxious expression on her face and continued, "I hope
that their strength would not be completely restrained, or they would be in grave trouble. Since they
have never refined their bodies, they would surely find it difficult to withstand the attack of the wind
without any protection."
"Based on the current situation, those two girls would be safe if they could endure this," the Dragon
Intent Grass chimed in.
However, just as the Dragon Intent Grass had finished speaking, the blood-colored wind blew more
violently.
The wind quickly absorbed the powers nearby, and the suppressive force that enveloped the area
sharply increased.
As a result, the two women's strength weakened even more.
A few moments later, they fell to their knees and blood spurted out from their mouths, staining their
white clothes.
They were in a perilous situation now.
At this point, it was impossible for them to give up and leave the area because the blood-colored wind
kept attacking them. And worse, they had no more strength to fight back.
Seeing that they were in a precarious position, the other disciples of the Abstinent Sect immediately
grew worried about them. "Laura! Helen! Are you all right?" they anxiously called out.
Most of the members dashed forward in an attempt to save the two women in distress, but Laura
turned back to them with a glare. "Don't do anything stupid. Stay there!" she ordered firmly, despite the
blood weakly dripping down the side of her mouth.
She and Helen were the strongest in their team, but even they weren't strong enough to handle the
blood-colored wind. What could the weaker members do?
"It looks like only warriors with strong physical bodies can enter that area and survive. Those two
women may not be weaker than you, but they can't defend themselves once their strength has been
restrained. This is a good opportunity for you, Ricky! You can save those beautiful women in distress
and become a hero,"
the Dragon Intent Grass teasingly suggested.
"Are you kidding me? I currently look like a child. Who, in their right mind, would fall for a child?" Ricky
answered back, rolling his eyes.
"Ha-ha! But that's just your disguise. We both know you are an adult," the Dragon Intent Grass insisted
with a smile.
"Ricky, please help them out," Audrey pleaded through telepathy, taking his attention away from his
conversation with the Dragon Intent Grass.
"I'm on it," Ricky replied briefly. Then, he rushed into the area peppered with the blood-colored wind.
Even if Audrey hadn't asked for his help, he would still come to their aid. This was because he saw how
the members of the Abstinent Sect had treated Audrey who was a human devil, and he could tell that
the sect was a decent one.
Although the disciples of the Abstinent Sect appeared indifferent, they weren't bad people.
As soon as Ricky stepped foot in the area, he immediately attracted everyone's attention. Laura looked
alarmed to see a child in the dangerous zone, and she immediately opened her mouth to ask him to
leave.
But she didn't get to scold him, as in the next moment, something happened that shocked her and the
other disciples of the Abstinent Sect.
In the middle of the violent airwaves, Ricky had burst out the Gale Mutant. Although his strength was
restrained, he had no trouble advancing deeper. Every time the strong wind hit him, they were bounced
back by his body that turned golden-purple.
He fared well because of his mutant. After all, as long as the wind power was weaker than Ricky's
strength, he could integrate with it without getting hurt thanks to his Gale Mutant.
