The Corpse Lair was a detached expanse, which looked like a massive blood-colored ball shrouded by blood-colored light from afar. The blood-colored light, however, didn't hold any power, so it couldn't stop any creatures from entering the lair.
At this point, countless warriors had already gathered near the Corpse Lair, and all of them had one goal in mind.
Just as Audrey had foretold, all these warriors had searched for days, but they could not find any tokens in other places of the Corpse Blood Devil Rivers.
Of course, the Misty South Palace would not spread false news, and since they claimed that there were tokens in this area, there certainly must be. A simple deduction pointed to the fact that it must be somewhere inside the Corpse Lair, as it was the only place that they had yet to explore.
The warriors loitered around the lair with troubled looks on their faces, but none of them ventured inside because they were afraid of the dangers it held. After all, the Black Blood Zombies and Devil Zombies originated from there.
Even an upper spiritual emperor would be in danger if they dared to step foot inside.
While they were pacing back and forth around the lair, two teams arrived and caught their attention.
An enchanting white-robed woman led one of the teams. But compared to her looks, the noble and unworldly aura she gave off attracted everyone even more.
The woman was none other than Laura, a disciple of the Abstinent Sect. She was well respected among her fellow disciples in the sect.
The other team was led by a black-robed man sporting a majestic black crown. He looked dignified and pompous, and the indifferent look in his eyes gave off an aloof vibe.
This young man was named Dave, and he was the son of the Black Flaming Phoenix tribe's leader.
Levi, whom Ricky had killed, was his younger brother. Of course, he had no idea that his brother had died, as did the other members of the Black Flaming Phoenix tribe, not to mention that it was Ricky who had killed Levi.
Otherwise, he would not be as calm as he was now.
As soon as the warriors who had already arrived earlier laid eyes on them, they began to whisper to each other. "Laura and Dave are here! It looks like the Corpse Lair is indeed the only place where the tokens can be found."
"But this isn't good for us. We will surely have a harder time getting our hands on the tokens now. Not only will we have to face Black Blood Zombies and Devil Zombies there, but we will also have to compete against two powerful warriors. Hell, even their men are stronger than us."
"Well, look at the bright side! Those Blood Zombies and Devil Zombies prefer stronger prey, so they would undoubtedly gravitate toward the two powerful groups."
"Anyway, let's just hope we'll get lucky and get a chance to get a hold of those tokens."
Meanwhile, as soon as Dave arrived, the first thing he saw was Laura. "Laura!" he called out warmly. He liked the woman because he thought of her as his powerful competitor, and, more than that, he felt like she was the only one good enough for him in this area.
In sharp contrast to his warm response, Laura merely sent a frosty nod in his direction.
This somewhat upset Dave, and he sneered at her inwardly, 'Damn woman! Wait until I evolve into a Great Phoenix, and I'll make you kiss my feet!'
After that, Laura and Dave entered the Corpse Lair to search.
Just as the duo was about to enter the lair with the people they had brought, Ricky and Audrey arrived.
To those who didn't know the pair, they looked like a strange pair—a lovely girl and a boy in rags. Their presence attracted many warriors' attention. Besides their interesting appearances, there were a lot of rumors about the two as well.
The white-haired boy was said to be incredibly strong, while the lovely girl was a human devil.
At this point, Audrey looked around and caught sight of Laura. "Hey, Laura!" she greeted the enchanting woman enthusiastically.
"It looks like that you get on well with the people from the Abstinent Sect," Ricky commented telepathically.
"Of course, I told you that before," Audrey readily answered.
