"Let's go, master. I'm very curious on how this ultimate Fortune Land looks like. Would you like to come and see it with me? I heard that a lot of people settle their feuds in that area," Ricky asked the other Elders as curiosity enveloped his mind.
Upon hearing Ricky's engaging invitation, his master and the elders agreed and walked faster than they had to. All of them walked briskly toward the central zone of the famous Fortune Land.
Meanwhile, Ricky and Grace's dragon meridians had already reached more than ninety-one feet long in length. They were really excited to know that they could finally go on to the final step. This also meant that they were already qualified to compete and fight for their most awaited last dragon meridian. It was a good thing that their ninety-one feet long dragon meridians were not acquired by only killing fortune beasts. If not, then they could be disqualified from fighting for the last dragon meridian.
But their journey wasn't as smooth as they thought. During the time when they hunted for fortune beasts, there was a time that they had encountered a swarm of warriors and beasts that attempted to rob them of their belongings. But as Grace and Ricky were trained and skilled warriors, they all had the last laugh. They ended up robbing the intruders in the end for they were no match for their strength.
On the other hand, Elder Evan's and the rest of the Elders' dragon meridians had not achieved the ninety-foot mark. But they had other plans in mind and they did not give a rat's ass about it. They never cared about the length of their dragon meridians for they were never that enthusiastic to put themselves into the endgame.
They came here for a simpler goal, which was getting some fortune and lengthening their longevity spams. Then, having gained both of them, their journey was complete.
All they needed to do now was to accompany Ricky and Grace on their journey so that when they needed the Elders' help, they were ready to fight alongside them.
As the days went by, they stumbled upon an increasing number of warriors and beasts who had the same destination as them--the final Fortune Land.
Most of the warriors that they met along the way knew Ricky. But since Ricky and the Elders were far too powerful for them to fight, they just ignored them and went their way. After all they found the final Fortune Land way more valuable than Ricky's famous spiritual space tool.
And there were also some rude and arrogant ones who went straight for Ricky and attempted to rob him of the spiritual space tool.
Ricky had no time to spare and fool around with the idiots who wanted to take his precious tool. And so without thinking twice, he mercilessly killed anyone who stopped them in their tracks.
No one was mentally and physically able to confront Ricky, not even the leading geniuses and the old dogs of the martial arts.
With all the neck slashing that Ricky did to whoever bothered them along the way, people and warriors got scared. These killings posed a great threat and since then, no warrior even dared to come near them
And just with a few more steps, they have finally reached the heart of Fortune Land--the Ultimate Fortune Land.
As soon as they set foot in the area, they could not believe their eyes for over thousands and thousands of fortune were present. It was even estimated to be over ten times the average number of treasures and fortune seen in an area. Here and there, the fortune were compiled in such a way that they made the center appear white.
Ricky and Grace cautiously entered the area and once they were inside, their dragon meridians that hung on their backs instantly came alive. And though slowly, they grew invisibly while they absorbed fortune.
Warriors and beasts lurked around the center of the fortune land as if they were guarding something. And surprisingly, all of the fortune was condensed in the center of the area as if it was trying to form a silhouette.
As Ricky had appeared in the area, a flame of avarice burned on the eyes of the warriors and the beasts. They all coveted to Ricky's spiritual space tool.
But no one dared to take any rash actions towards Ricky and the Elders for they very well knew that they were no match for their strength.
However, the tension in the area did not last for far too long. The other warriors and beasts conceded and moved slowly as not to make any threat towards Ricky and his party.
"I don't think that we are the prey here. I think it's the other way around. If someone even dared come near us, they'll see what they're looking for," Ricky muttered under his breath.
"Then let's kill some warriors. We'll show them who the real boss is," Elder Evan said in a contemptuous voice.
Elder Evan had been a senior demi-immortal warrior for years already and at this point, he knew that nothing could ever threaten and scare him off. He knew what he was doing and what he would do during a time of fiasco and he thought that he was wise enough not to be outsmarted by any of the fresh warriors looking for a fight.
"Well, I guess that we really have no choice," Ricky said blandly.
"Ha-ha...Long time no see, Ricky. What took you so long? We've been waiting for as long as we can remember!" an annoying and appalling voice said.
