The legendary warrior novel Chapter 1261

"Well, Raylan didn't tell me. Or that could also mean that he doesn't really know how to guide us to him. But as far as I know, that is his blood essence, and I can use that to track them down," Ashley answered.

"Let's get to it. We don't have much time. I just hope that they can hold on until we arrive," Ricky said in a hopeful voice.

Without delay, Ricky, Hayes, and Mordechai followed Ashley and made their way to the Land of Thorn.

After travelling nonstop for three days, the team arrived at a wet, dark place that housed evil spirit. They found it haunting as the place made them feel shivers down their spines.

As they continued walking into the place, they felt that they could encounter dangers at any time.

To make things worse, they noticed some thick, black, hard, thorny plants that seemed to have been all over the place.

With full caution, they moved slowly. It was as if they were the only living creatures in that terrifying place.

The plants in the area rose high and covered half the sky, with many of them drenched in blood. In addition, there was rotten flesh and bones everywhere.

In general, it was the thorny plants which made the place such a nightmare.

"This creepy place is the Land of Thorn. It's disgusting, I know," Ricky said in a hushed tone as his eyes stared at the moving thorny plants around him. Meanwhile, Mordechai, Hayes, and Ashley also observed the plants secretly, with a little bit of fear in their eyes.

They were all aware of the fact that those nasty thorny plants had psychic intelligence. This meant that they could fight like the humanoid evil flowers in the ancestral land of the human devil tribe that they had run into before.

"Remember, don't do anything unless these thorny plants attack us. And, of course, do no provoke them either," Hayes said to the other three companions telepathically. "But, don't worry. They won't really attack us. They only feast on dead and rotten corpses."

"Okay, got it!" Ricky and the others replied at the same time, in the same manner.

Since they didn't launch attacks on them, the ancient thorny plants ignored their presence.

"He is right. It seems like they're only interested in rotten corpses," Ricky murmured to himself in a low voice.

"That's right. Otherwise, the four of you would have been dead and dried up bodies the moment you set foot in here," the Dragon Intent Grass chimed in. "But you still need to be careful. Although they don't like living creatures, it doesn't mean that they will not attack you at all."

"I know! Thanks," Ricky replied after hearing the warning.

All that mattered at that time was that apparently, luck was on Ricky and his companion's side.

Up until this point, Ricky's team had not suffered from any injuries from the thorny plants. The only plausible reason why these plants had not attacked them yet was that the plants had a steady supply of rotten corpses.

After all, they saw a lot of rotten flesh covered in blood and bones scattered everywhere.

Meanwhile, using Raylan's blood essence, they had finally arrived at a basin.

However, upon looking around the place, they noticed that there were fewer thorn plants in the area. It was relatively darker, and the foul smell of the rotten meats became more unbearable for them to smell.

When they looked at the center of the basin, their eyes were met by a huge area that was covered by blood-red light.

Curious, they went towards the area where the light showed up. Upon arriving, they laid eyes on seven figures, who sat cross-legged in mid-air. What was worse was that these people seemed to be in distress.

Ricky took a few glances at the faces of these people. Upon careful scrutiny, he recognized one of them to be Raylan. But at that moment, Raylan had blood stains smeared on his good-looking face. His condition was the worst among them by far. In fact, he looked so injured that his white clothes got stained by his own blood. It was hard to believe that he was the arrogant, charming holy son who exuded the majestic aura.

At once, Ricky, Hayes, Mordechai, and Ashley could clearly feel that the blood-colored light contained immense erosive power. Based on the scenario, it could be that Raylan and his companions were fighting against the blood-colored light.

"What is going on here? Why do they look like that? Why do they have to stay within the blood-colored light? Is there something outside the light that they thought would harm them?" Ricky asked. At that moment, he and his companions stood in the distance. Clearly, they had no idea how dangerous the situation was.

"Honestly, I have no clue. But I think that something is up," Mordechai responded as he shook his head. "And besides, I sent a message to Raylan, but I received no response. Perhaps, the blood-colored light is restricting them."
