Chapter 316 Ricky''s Secret Zone


    "I''m sorry, Ricky, but I''m afraid I''ll disappoint you in this respect. The truth is that I didn''t know much


    about the origin of the rumor. I came to the Chaotic Region with Doris ten years ago and she helped


    me to establish the Dahlia Pce in order to cover my true identity. Ever since, I''ve heard about the


    rare opportunity of bing an innate spiritual king.


    Also, I''ve heard the rumor that a Bronze Key is hidden inside the body of the Skeleton Dragon, and that


    it has something to do with the chance. But I didn''t know about the blood essence of the dragon until


    we hunted it down," Tina admitted.


    "So, I have no idea who started the rumor either." She shrugged her shoulders and shook her head.


    "Don''t feel the need to apologize Tina. I''m not like that. So, it seems that the Endless Shadow has all


    the crucial information," Rickymented as he blinked his eyes.


    "Oh, they are dangerous. Always keep that in mind, Tina. Although you have Doris, you ought to be


    more careful. We have no clue what they''re about to do next at all," he warned in a serious tone.


    "Yes, Ricky! I''ll keep myself safe, I promise. I''m quite confident about my capacity to do this," Tina


    giggled, a smile resting on her lips.


    "Oh, there''s another thing I''d like to warn you about. The Endless Shadow, their existence is not


    contained in the Realm of Wildness, but they are spread all over the Misty South. They show up and


    disappear quietly, watching each one of their targets secretly. I would say they are actually the most


    powerful and dangerous force in this continent."


    "What? They are spread all over the Misty South!?" Ricky eximed in disbelief, his eyes wide as


    saucers. Tina''s information surprised him to the core.


    This shocked news haunted him for quite a few moments.


    "Don''t you worry too much, my friend. With Doris beside us, those shadows can''t hurt you so easily,"


    Tinaforted with a giggle. His shocked expression kind of amused her.


    She knew Ricky had been identified as a key target by the Endless Shadow.


    "Well, I''m not being frightened. I just didn''t know that they were so powerful and had so many


    connections," Ricky replied, his tone still revealing his stunned state. He was trying hard to digest this


    news.


    Despite his im of not being frightened, he cursed secretly in his mind. ''What the hell?! I even told


    Tyson that we were going to take the Endless Shadow down! Oh, goodness! Maybe in our dreams! The


    most powerful organization here! I have to admit that I''m not that fearless now.'' He hid these thoughts


    from Tina.


    "All right! We can''t just talk here endlessly. That''s enough for today. Stay here and I''ll bring Kristen


    soon," Tina suggested.


    She wished she could spend more time talking to him. She hated to just let him go so soon. However,


    she knew she couldn''t do that. The longer he stayed here, the more easily he might be discovered.


    "Yes, sure. Thank you," Ricky replied and watched her leave the room.


    A few momentster, Tina brought Kristen in. Ricky''s eyes lit up at the sight of Kristen. Tina noticed this


    and felt a twinge of sadness in her heart. She tried hard to suppress her frustration and offered to walk


    them out. It could be said that she was being nice in offering to do this, but truth be told, it was so that


    she could spend more time with Ricky.


    Tina took the lead and escorted Ricky and Kristen out. A few minutester, Tina stopped and said, "I''ll


    turn back here. I can''t leave the pce for too long because other forces are spying on the Dahlia


    Pce."


    "Sure, we understand. Take care," Ricky bade her goodbye.


    Tina then turned around and headed back to her ce. If it were not because of those annoying little


    birds, she would have walked with them for a longer time.


    "Not bad, huh? You didn''t forget me, at the least, Russell!" Kristen said after Tina disappeared into the


    distance.


    "I will never forget you, ever! There is no one single second when I did not think about you," Ricky said


    with just the hint of a smile. "That''s why I showed up in the Dahlia Pce! Feel free to join me as long


    as you wish! But be warned; this will be a perilous journey. Ha-ha," Ricky eximed before he burst


    intoughter.


    "Ha-ha. That''s enough, man. Stop kidding. Is Tyson all right? I''m worried about him," Kristen asked with


    concerned eyes.


    "Easy, easy! He''s still breathing, alive and kicking," Ricky replied. "He''s staying with Soar now. They


    are waiting for us in a secret valley. Let''s go."


    "It''s a relief to know he''s fine," Kristen sighed. "Lead the way."


    Immediately, they set off and moved towards their destination quickly. They made no efforts to hide


    themselves along the way. That was a deliberate choice as Ricky wanted the spies to know that Kristen


    was staying with him.


    This way, Tina would not be a target.


    It was a relief to have Tina''s words that she would protect Trent and Bastian, as well as the members of


    the Manor Pce. Next, he would focus all his attention on dealing with the dangers ahead of him.


    Strangely, they did not see any warriors from other forces along the way.


    "Kristen, did you notice? How odd! No warrior has appeared the whole way," he eximed to her,


    puzzled.


    "Yes, that does seem rather weird! But let''s just ignore it and keep moving ahead. That''s our priority


    after all!" replied Kristen.


    "Alright then!"


    It was once they reached their destination that they found out the reason for this.


    The warriors had gathered here, dozens of them surrounding the valley. It was obvious that their secret


    spot was discovered. Mighty bangs burst out continuously and echoed throughout the space.


    Ricky and Kristen took a harder look. Seven figures were floating in the air. Six of them were


    channeling their spiritual energy. They were no other than the six demi-immortals of the Chaotic


    Region. Another warrior stood in the center of them. His feet left the ground and suspended high


    above, with his hands behind his back. The spiritual energy surrounding him was far stronger than that


    of the other six demi-immortals.


    Needless to say, he was one of the lower spiritual kings from the Endless Shadow.


    A red snake hovered in the air, coiled against them. It was Soar. Soar was a mess now. His body had


    been hurt by the attacks, wounds on his scales dripping with blood. He had no time to recover. Fighting


    these warriors must have taken up much of his energy!


    On his back sat Tyson who was also in a bad state. He panted as he red at them with red eyes.


    Obviously, a fierce fight had broken out just now.


    "Beast! Give the Celestial Flower and bow to me. I shall be your king from now. You will survive if you


    do so," the innate spiritual king demanded coldly.


    "Bow to you? You old monster man! That''s never gonna happen! Oh,e on! You have to know


    yourself better before you blurt out those inane words. You want to be my king? In your dreams," Soar


    cursed resentfully. The man''s words were disgustingly insult.


    "You are asking for death, you little arrogant beast!" the innate spiritual king roared in rage, irritated by


    Soar''s defiance. Heunched the attack at once.


    "You fled when I was being carelessst time. It will not happen this time, I promise! Today is going to


    be yourst day breathing in this world!"


    ...


    "What should we do, Russell? They''re losing the fight!" Kristen whispered. She saw everything clearly


    and could not help but grow worried about Soar and Tyson. They were losing their energy fighting


    against so many strong warriors.


    ''Well, I''m afraid I''ll have to use my secret weapon now. This is urgent! Otherwise, they will die there!''


    Ricky told himself.


    He turned to Kristen and looked into her eyes. "Kristen, promise me you will not feel too shocked no


    matter what you see next! I''ll exin everything to you after we save them." He was determined to use


    his secret weapon now. It had to be done. He had no other choice!


    Kristen, on the other hand, looked back at him with puzzled eyes. She didn''t understand what Ricky


    meant at all! Before she could even ask, Ricky had already channeled his internal strength and


    activated the Chaotic Fire Zone. In the blink of an eye, he and Kristen were now transported to the


    mysterious zone.


    Kristen was taken aback by this sudden, surprising change. She looked around several times and


    finally turned to look at Ricky, her beautiful eyes filled with perplexity. Her jaw dropped and she froze as


    she stared at Ricky, eyes wide in utter shock. She tried to ask, but the surprise had already seized her


    so that she was even unable to make a noise.


    Ricky did not have the energy and time to care about Kristen, who stayed dumbfounded. There was


    something more important now. He manipted the zone and approached Tyson and Soar instantly.


    He erged his mind and immediately, the Chaotic Fire Zone engulfed Soar and Tyson right before the


    innate spiritual king''s attack hit them.


    "Finally! Here you are!" Soar bellowed with excitement the moment he entered the Chaotic Fire Zone.


    He had been so close to a fatal strike that might have been the end of him!


    Tyson, on the other hand, was as dumbfounded as Kristen. Kristen met with his surprised eyes. She


    just shook her head, indicating that she was at a loss and had no idea what happened and where they


    were either.


    ...


    Outside the Chaotic Fire Zone, a stir rose among the warriors.


    "They are gone! They disappeared! Are they ghosts? I can''t believe my eyes!" someone eximed. It


    was just too shocking to digest what just happened. The beast and the man riding it just disappeared


    into nowhere!? How incredible! Where could they go? How did they do that? Questions flooded their


    minds, but they could not find an answer. They turned their eyes to the innate spiritual king, desperate


    for answers.


    All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org.


    As a matter of fact, he had no clue either!


    But as an innate spiritual king, he had a lifetime of vast experience and knew more than those ordinary


    men. Immediately, he thought of the spiritual space tool. There was no way a person could disappear


    like that without a spiritual space tool. Thinking about this, he grew angrier as his eyes darkened.


    ''Damn it! No other innate spiritual king is here except me! Who could have such ability to do that?


    Ricky?'' he cursed resentfully in his mind.


    "Ricky, Russell, Ricky...is he?!" As he muttered the names, he seemed toe to an epiphany!


    Immediately, he exerted all his strength and sent it to the surroundings, trying to detect Ricky''s breath


    or smell. However, even an innate spiritual king was not powerful enough to feel the existence of the


    Chaotic Fire Zone. He was doomed to fail.


    "Damn it! Damn it!" Feeling nothing but empty air, the innate spiritual king cursed in rage. He bellowed


    in pure anger and sted his powerful innate strength. It was so overwhelming that even the six chiefs


    were unable to resist it. They all stepped back quickly to keep themselves safe from his raging aura.


    "Ha-ha! Don''t be in such a rush to find me! We will meet someday sooner orter. You will meet your


    miserable fate, you old pathetic man!" Ricky''s voice echoed in the air as heughed.


    "Bang!" The innate spiritual king immediately flung his most powerful attack at the direction of the


    voice. The other warriors covered their ears and eyes, protecting themselves against the strong airflow


    stirred by the attack. However, nothing happened at all. The only thing they heard was the rustling of


    trees in the wind.
