Chapter 1271 The Polar Bird And The Life And Death Beast

Ricky and Mordechai glanced at each other, nodded in agreement, and said, "Don't worry. We agree with your proposal."

George and Brandon also nodded to show their acquiescence.

Despite getting the four of them to agree, Peter still took a few minutes looking at them intently. He was slightly worried that they might change their minds at a critical moment, especially once they found the Life and Death Water.

After Peter was finally satisfied, he led them towards the place where the Life and Death Water was.

Ricky couldn't resist asking Peter about the gorgeous woman's identity as they went on their way.

When he raised the question, Mordechai, George, and Brandon pricked up their ears, as they were all curious about the girl as well.

Peter didn't answer Ricky's question immediately. He glanced at the woman first as if asking for her permission, and he only opened his mouth when she nodded at him.

"Oh, yeah. Let me introduce you. Guys, this is my cousin—Claire Mu," he said as he motioned toward Claire. "It's nice to meet you. I'm Claire Mu. I followed my cousin here to broaden my horizons," the gorgeous woman greeted them.

"It's nice to meet you too, Claire!" Ricky and the three other men greeted her back with a pleasant smile.

"Brat, you can sense other people's aura with your zone, right?" the Dragon Intent Grass abruptly inquired.

"Yes, I can. I already checked her earlier and found her aura familiar. For some reason, I have a feeling that she and that guy are the same person, but that doesn't make any sense. We can all see that she's a girl, after all. However, my Golden Spirit Eyes have never been wrong, so I'm not sure anymore.

Something feels off," Ricky replied with a disconcerted expression on his face. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

"I don't know..." the Dragon Intent Grass muttered uncertainly. "Why don't you just ask her directly?"

"I don't think that's a good idea," Ricky said, shaking his head. "I'm not yet a hundred percent sure that they are the same person, so I might turn out to be wrong. Besides, even if she is indeed him, it is highly likely that she wouldn't admit her identity. She would have already greeted me otherwise."

Inwardly, Ricky resolved to keep an eye on her, as he considered that Claire Mu might have something up her sleeve. Mordechai, George, and Brandon were actually thinking the same thing as him. If she weren't powerful in her own right, Peter wouldn't treat her with such respect regardless of her beauty.

In every interaction, they could see that Peter held great regard for her.

And because of Peter's attitude towards Claire Mu, George and Brandon wanted to know more about her.

The six of them had traveled for a while when they ran into a horde of blood-colored beasts. These beasts had a peculiar appearance, and they weren't made from the fighting energy.

Some of the beasts had two legs while some others had three, and they emitted the primitive powers of life and death. That was one indication that the primitive life and death powers had created them.

"Those are Life and Death Beasts. They can only be found hanging around the Life and Death Water. Now that we have met them, it means that we have nearly reached our destination," Peter announced with a trace of excitement in his voice.

When they heard this, Ricky, Mordechai, George, and Brandon couldn't hide the anticipation that they felt, and their eyes lit up with excitement. Their momentums burst out unbidden from their bodies as they took down those beasts as fast as they could.

They wanted to finish them off quickly, so they could find the Life and Death Water soon.

However, these Life and Death Beasts were more difficult to deal with than they had expected. Since they were in the Life and Death Relic, life and death powers abound everywhere, which allowed those beasts to use those powers to heal their injuries.

Fortunately, these beasts weren't dead like the Rotten Thorn Men were.

It eventually took the six of them six whopping hours to deal with all the Life and Death Beasts.

But because of the fierce battle, Ricky estimated that they could only stay in the Life and Death Relic for eight more days since they had consumed much of their energies.

And they could only stay longer if they refined some valuable Treasures from Heaven and Earth. Otherwise, the burden would be too heavy for their bodies to bear.

After they slaughtered the beasts, a horde of birds abruptly swooped down toward them and pounced.

Those birds were emitting both the light and dark powers.

Peter looked at the birds, and said, "These are the kind of birds that can only be seen near the Life and Death Water, as they were created from the light and dark powers inside the Life and Death Water. They are called Polar Birds.

Since we have met both the Polar Birds and the Life and Death Beasts, likely, the Life and Death Water is somewhere near.

We must have had a stroke of luck!"

Ricky, Mordechai, George, and Brandon grew even more eager when they heard Peter's words. The four of them immediately activated their trump cards and annihilated the Polar Birds in an instant.

After an hour's journey, they finally spotted a blood-colored lake.

It was a vast body of water, with nothing but three blood-colored and locust-shaped plants on its surface.

As the group drew closer, they saw that there were three drops of blood-colored liquid inside the flowers.

These drops of crimson liquid emitted primitive powers, and it seemed to be protected by the invisible heavenly power. This crimson liquid was undoubtedly the Life and Death Water that they had been looking for.

"It looks like we got really lucky, everyone! We have enough here so that our three parties could each own one drop of the Life and Death Water," Peter exclaimed. "But before we get our share, there is fighting to be done."

As soon as those words fell from his lips, the three drops of Life and Death Water emitted the light and released tremendous power.

Immediately, the pool of blood-colored water swelled like a cresting wave, and exorbitant amounts of life and death powers poured out from it.

Moreover, half of the life and death powers began to metamorphose.

And then, they transformed into three Life and Death Beasts and three Polar Birds. One Life and Death Beast and one Polar Bird guarded one drop of Life and Death Water.

The group sensed the momentums of the beasts and found that they were as strong as three-star lower spiritual emperors at the peak state.

"Check it out, guys, the Life and Death Water created these guardian beasts according to our strength. I'm sure you have noticed that too. If the heavenly power empowered any advanced Treasures from Heaven and Earth, it could create creatures whose strength could match its adversary,"

Peter pointed out.

"We all know that, Peter, so cut the crap and don't waste more of our time. There are indeed three drops of the Life and Death Water, but whether we can get our hands on them remain to be seen. We need to double down on our words with our strength," George cut in impatiently because he couldn't wait to fight the beasts.

"Ha-ha! Go ahead, then!" Peter answered, chuckling to himself.

Without any hesitation, George and Brandon instantly stepped forward. They turned as one to the Polar Bird and the Life and Death Beast to their left, intending to take them down.

"My friends," Peter started, gazing at Ricky and Mordechai with a motivating smile. "Whether you can get what you want relies on your strength. Good luck!"

"Thank you for giving us this opportunity," the duo gratefully responded. After that, Ricky and Mordechai turned away and faced the Polar Bird and the Life and Death Beast in the middle.

Thus, the right-most beast and bird were left for Peter and Claire to deal with.

In no time, the six of them engaged their quarry.

"Mordechai, I'm leaving the Polar Bird to you. Once I deal with the Life and Death Beast, I'll help you take the bird down," Ricky instructed through telegraphy.

"All right. Let's get down to business!" Mordechai answered enthusiastically, facing down the Polar Bird.

He knew that Ricky could easily handle the Life and Death Beast, for he had the Life and Death Mutant.

And that was why he willingly let Ricky take care of it. In the blink of an eye, the duo started the fight.

Ricky activated the Life and Death Mutant and cloaked himself with the chaotic power. He also summoned the Life and Death Zone, intending to attack the Life and Death Beast with it.

After a dozen attacks against the fearsome beast, Ricky paralyzed it with his massive Life and Death Wings. Then, he used the Space-shrinking Pace to reach it instantaneously and struck it hard enough to be lethal with the help of the Life and Death Intent Formula.

Of course, he had the upper hand mainly because the Life and Death Beast didn't have any psychic intelligence.

If it had psychic intelligence, Ricky might lose, as it was exceedingly powerful and the environment was in its favor.
