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.
"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.
