Chapter 1186 The Visitors


    Furious waves of energy began to sh with each other. The power from the two sides seemed to be


    well-matched but only for a moment. In the next breath, the three-foot tripod was defeated when the


    destructive power of the storm pervaded.


    First, the power of the blood essence on the three-foot tripod was swept out by the storm, and


    countless cracks appeared on the tripod.


    Then, the storm ruthlessly ravaged Kirk''s colossal body, as a hapless dove in the middle of a tempest.


    Blood spurted out from Kirk''s parted lips, as he rolled several times until he finally came to a stop a few


    meters away, changing back into his human shape.


    As soon as he recovered, he moved to run away, as Marvel and the other two followed behind him


    closely. He looked back and spat poisonously at Edie, saying,


    "Edie, I will never forget what happened today! And you have to remember that you have offended not


    only me but also Lundy."


    "Humph! How dare you still act so stubbornly, when you are already at the brink of death?" Ricky said


    with disdain. In his mind, Kirk was as good as dead because there was no way he would just let him


    go.


    Thanks to the Ancestral Thunder Mutant and the Space-shrinking Pace, he could move at an


    iparably high speed. And since they couldn''t tear the space or fly in the air here, it would be much


    easier for Ricky to catch up with Kirk.


    However, Edie stopped him just as he was about to take off after Kirk.


    "Ricky, just let them go. The four of them aren''t a threat to you anymore, but if you kill them, it will get


    the Wind-Mountain Alliance into trouble. The Three-legged Nether Crow tribe might try to put their


    deaths on our heads," said Edie.


    "Since you have said so, how can I disobey your request?" Ricky smiled sweetly at Edie.


    So far, Edie had treated him sincerely, not just in the Emperor Beast Swamp but even before they


    came here. Far be it from him, that he would return that kindness with enmity.


    If he killed Kirk, the Three-legged Nether Crow tribe would definitely make trouble for the Wind-


    Mountain Alliance, and that was thest thing he wanted for them. "Thank you very much," replied


    Edie, nodding his head gratefully.


    People who belonged to a great force naturally benefited from their force, as they possessed arge


    number of resources and were protected by powerful warriors.


    But there were also many disadvantages to belonging to a big force. The worst one was that they


    always had to consider how their actions would affect the group behind them, so they could rarely do


    what they really wanted to do.


    At times, this could be harmful to a warrior''s strong will because they often had all kinds of scruples.


    This was exactly what Edie was going through at that moment.


    If he were in Ricky''s ce, he could just kill Kirk and run away


    Unfortunately, he wasn''t.


    "Edie, you shouldn''t have offended Lundy just for the sake of a human. It is said that the patriarch of


    the Red Potentate Roc tribe is close to bing a saint," Flint whined like a child, evidently rmed


    and frightened by Lundy.


    "Flint! I used to think you were a little courageous at least, but only now do I realize just how cowardly


    you are!" Winifred said disdainfully, for she could not bear him any longer.


    "Humph! It is natural for the weak to submit in front of the strong. If a person does not know how to


    behave himself, that is like striking a stone with an egg," insisted Flint. "Lundy is an ace genius and has


    the support of the Red Potentate Roc tribe. He will definitely control the east part of the endless


    mountain.


    And he will even go to the Middle Land and be—"


    "If you are so afraid of Lundy, then you can go and serve him instead!" Ricky cut in coldly before Flint


    could finish his words. He would have killed Flint a hundred times already if Edie and Winifred were not


    here.


    "As a human being and outsider, you are not qualified to take part in the affairs of the Wind-Mountain


    Alliance," Flint responded coldly.


    He knew he was no match for Ricky, but he didn''t think Ricky would dare to hurt him because he had a


    saint behind him.


    However, he didn''t know Ricky well.


    As soon as he finished his words, Ricky turned into a thunder in the blink of an eye and activated the


    Space-shrinking Pace. He appeared in front of Flint in an instant, and before Flint could realize what


    was going on, Ricky already had his delicate neck in his hand.


    "Remember, when I want to kill someone, I never care what kind of background he has," Ricky


    sneered, ring at Flint, whose eyes lost all their arrogance and were now filled with panic and fear.


    Meanwhile, Ricky exerted more strength in his hand.


    His hand tightened every second as if Ricky was really about to kill Flint.


    After all, he really wanted to kill him.


    However, before he could do as he wanted, Edie stopped him once again.


    Ricky had no choice but to stop since Edie stepped in. He couldn''t insist on killing Flint in such a case.


    "Flint, let''s go our separate ways from now on!" Edie finally dered, afraid that Ricky would snap and


    kill Flint before he could stop him the next time.


    He understood that it was already impossible for Ricky and Flint to work together, so he had to choose


    between the two of them.


    From the beginning, it was obvious that Edie preferred Ricky over Flint. Edie was incredibly


    disappointed with Flint, for they shared a connection by blood, but Flint still preferred to side with their


    enemy. Of course, he would never choose Flint.


    "What are you talking about, Edie?" Flint said in disbelief.


    "Since you are on Lundy''s side, we are destined to be enemies, even though we are rted by blood,"


    answered Edie. "So, leave now while I can still stop Ricky from killing you. Otherwise, I can''t promise


    that I won''t kill you myself."


    "What?! You''re throwing me out and siding with an outsider? Fine! I won''t forget this!" With those


    foreboding words, Flint left.


    Judging by Edie''s words, it meant that he waspletely on Ricky''s side, so he probably wouldn''t stop


    Ricky if Ricky wanted to kill him next time.


    Therefore, he had to leave.


    Perhaps, this was what he wanted from the start, for in this way, he could be with Lundy openly and


    ask Lundy to help him avenge himself.


    Winifred sighed as she watched Flint''s retreating back.


    "Flint has finally revealed his true color. I can''t believe it! How could he be a descendant of a saint?"


    She could not help but shake her head, as they pondered over that question for a while.


    "Ricky, I''m sorry that you got caught up in all our drama," said Edie apologetically.


    The fact that they had such a member of the Wind-Mountain Alliance sullied the good name of their


    force. He could not help but shake his head in dismay.


    "It doesn''t matter. Everyone has his own ambition!" Rickyughed. "Besides, I have never taken him


    seriously since the very beginning."


    After that, Ricky and the other two began to enter the visible swamp to collect marsh mud.


    A few hourster, they had broken in all the open swamps and obtained all the marsh mud.


    Then, the three of them divided the marsh mud equally and merged it into their bodies.


    The energy of the marsh mud was indeed pure. It could be quickly refined with only a little strength to


    replenish the power that they had consumed during their battles, as well as the energy they spent


    because of the strong gravitational pull of the area.


    "Indeed, only with the marsh mud could we always be at the peak state. The marsh mud is even better


    than recovery elixirs," Ricky muttered, sounding impressed.

    "Of course," responded Winifred immediately. "After all, no matter how much swamp mud we absorb


    and refine, there will be no side effect.


    On the other hand, if we refine too many elixirs, there might be some side effects."


    Swish!


    Just as Ricky and the other two were about to move forward, a dozen people suddenlynded.


    Immediately, Ricky''s face grew serious, for he could clearly sense that three of them were exceedingly


    powerful.


    "Edie, we meet again," a man in a colorful robe said first.


    "Long time no see, Sumner, Mona, and Lionel," Edie replied indifferently. "You three seemed to have


    joined hands. Are youing together to take the marsh mud from me?"
