Hearing his words, everyone thought that Peter was being honest. Based on how he acted, anyone could tell that he was being sincere and that he was telling the truth, especially when they heard that he needed their help when they entered the Life and Death Relic.
However, Ricky, George, and the others did not mind that at all. This was because they were aware that being subjected to such a dangerous situation was very inevitable if they wanted to acquire something of immense value.
All they knew was that they had already made up their minds to enter the Life and Death Relic even without Peter's presence. For sure, they had already anticipated the hardships that they would encounter on their journey. And they were more than pleased to have Peter with them.
"So, what can you say about my proposal?" Peter asked as he looked at Ricky and George, expecting answers.
"Of course, we would go with you!" Ricky and George replied in a heartbeat at the same time.
"I'm glad to hear that. But before we go, there is something you need to know. Generally speaking, it's not really a good idea for those who are weaker than the three-star lower spiritual emperor at the peak to go with us. The blood-colored light in the Life and Death Relic is more erosive and powerful than what you can feel in here. So, my suggestion is that you'd better not push yourself too hard to go inside. I'll be off. I'll be seeing you inside when you guys make your decision,"
Peter instructed them.
As soon as he finished his words, he and the enchanting woman passed through the blood-colored rift. After a while, the three men from the Mu Clan gave Ricky and George a nod before they left to explore other places.
By the look in the three men's eyes, Ricky and George could clearly tell that they were dejected knowing that it would be too dangerous for them to enter the Life and Death Relic.
They could not only see the extreme disappointment but also fear in the three guys' eyes.
And because of this lingering fear, the three men walked away despite being desperate to go inside.
Soon after, Ricky glanced at his companions, while George turned to his men.
At that moment, Ricky tried to think critically based on the situation before him.
"Guys, listen. It's up to you if you will follow me or not. Moreover, I will give respect to whatever your decision is. But I would just like you all to know that if you decide to come with me, I promise to try my best to keep you safe and sound," he assured his companions through telepathy.
Ricky was certain that his companions knew the risks involved in exploring the Life and Death Relic without him mentioning it. If it were not such a dangerous place, then the three powerful disciples from the Mu Clan would not have left in the first place. Apart from that, Peter had already warned them about how dangerous and erosive the blood-colored light was there, and there was no reason for him not to omit this detail to them.
"I'll stay here!" Ella decided in front of everyone.
Despite being very eager to accompany Ricky, she knew better than to go with him. And besides, she was not that strong enough to protect herself from the blood-colored light, especially now that she had not yet fully recovered from her injuries.
Upon hearing Ella's decision, Raylan and the others began to express the same decision of not coming with Ricky.
Being talented warriors at the Emperor Level, they knew that if a warrior wanted to take this opportunity to explore with Ricky, they should know that they would have to be strong enough to keep themselves safe.
However, Ricky did not expect that Hayes and Ashley decided to stay.
"Ricky, don't take this the wrong way. We know ourselves. If we get there, our lives would be in danger and we might hold you and Mordechai back. We don't want that to happen, so we decided that it would be better for us to stay outside and continue to look for the Territory Seal and the pure fighting energy.
Besides, the pure fighting energy is a valuable resource. I'm sure that it is not less valuable than what is in the Life and Death Relic. It would just take us some time to absorb it,"
Hayes explained.
"Yeah, sure. Got it!" Ricky replied.
Meanwhile, George and Brandon expressed that they would enter the Life and Death Relic.
When he heard this, Ricky's mind was set at ease. Now, he would not have to worry about Hayes and the others.
If George and Brandon decided not to go to the Life and Death Relic, the two might lay a hand on them, and they would be dead meat if that happened.
After seeing their companions leave, Ricky, Mordechai, George, and Brandon finally made their way towards the blood-colored rift.
Immediately, the four of them passed through the rift and arrived in the Life and Death Relic.
The minute they got there, they laid eyes on Peter and the enchanting girl. Upon careful scrutiny, Ricky found that the blood-colored light shrouded the entire place as they were surrounded by the primitive death power, primitive life power, and other dark powers.
