Kristen's eyes didn't change because of external factors like the flow of her spiritual energy or anything else. Instead, it happened because of the internal condition of her organs and blood.
Those scarlet eyes didn't appear scary at all. They actually struck Ricky as noble and graceful.
When Kristen showed the color of her eyes, she also took pride in her capacity. But you couldn't say that she was being arrogant. After all, not every warrior had the blood power of innate spirit.
"I bet the color of your eyes is related to your blood power of innate spirit, Kristen. Although I don't fully know the extent of your power yet, I must tell you that it makes you look more graceful and beautiful," Ricky praised Kristen.
"Stop it," Kristen glared shyly at Ricky. But it was obvious that she was quite pleased. Any woman in the world would feel happy when their beauty was complimented!
Tyson, who was standing beside them, gave Ricky a thumbs up. He was impressed.
"May I know the name and power of your eyes, Kristen?" Ricky asked her politely.
"I don't know the name, because I just gained it unconsciously. The Chief has never seen this kind of scarlet eyes before either. As for the power, you'll found out later," said Kristen.
She shot Ricky a mysterious smile.
"You'll also understand why the Chief sent our team here, Russell," Tyson laughed too.
"You two, stay right behind me, or you'll get stuck in the mud of the marsh and die!" Kristen warned, leading the way in the Black Marsh.
Ricky and Tyson had no objection, only following behind her. They both knew that now it was an impractical time to try and prove their machismo.
Ricky guessed that Kristen's scarlet eyes might be able to help her see or sense things hidden in the dark.
The mud in the Black Marsh, which could devour warriors and ferocious beasts, was usually hidden to the naked eye. Perhaps, Kristen's eyes could help her see it clearly.
As they got deeper into the swamp, the first sign of danger appeared.
But Ricky and Tyson had no clue that danger was so close. As it was fifty meters away, there was no way they could have detected it. It was Kristen who told them.
"Watch out, here come the Vicious Black Crocodile! There's about twenty of them. They are staying less than fifty meters away around us," whispered Kristen.
"What? Neither of us even saw a thing!" Tyson was extremely shocked.
He, as a powerful warrior of the fifth grade of Bone Reinforcement, was supposed to sense the danger from hundreds of meters away, but right now...
Ricky was shocked too. He had not anticipated this.
"The Vicious Black Crocodile is a ferocious beast which is capable of hiding in the Black Marsh. It's hard for us to discover it even within ten meters, not to mention fifty meters," explained Kristen.
"I can see everything within five hundred meters with my scarlet eyes. But I didn't even see the Vicious Black Crocodile until it came within fifty meters of us. You can only imagine how great their hiding skill is!"
"The Vicious Black Crocodile. I'm impressed. And your eyes are incredibly sharp!" said Ricky.
"Save your flattery and instead think about what you're going to do about these Vicious Black Crocodiles!" Kristen rolled her eyes.
"Ha-ha, don't worry. Leave it to me!" Tyson had steadied himself and was ready to fight. He channeled the power of the fifth grade of Bone Reinforcement and lobbed a strike towards the beasts.
