CHAPTER 1017 A BLOOD CRYSTAL

"I just hope that they won't find the thing in the Blood Evil Pool," Oswald said coldly. "However, even if

they find it, it won't matter. After all, it will eventually return to my hand.

But since they have known that I have the Blue Water Mutant, I have no choice but to waste no time

and kill them as soon as possible.

I can't let the old men of other forces know about this.

If they find out, then everyone will surely despise me."

Meanwhile, in the Secret Blood Spirit Space, Ricky and his companions arrived at the Blood Evil Pool.

There, infinite streams of blood assembled in the center of the area, which formed the massive Blood

Evil Pool.

Splash! The sound of running water echoed through the air. Streams of blood constantly flowed into the

Blood Evil Pool, but the blood evil liquid in the pool seemed to remain unchanged.

Just like what Gerry had said, the Blood Evil Pool contained pure blood vitality, pure ruling power, and

real evil spirit, which were isolated from each other. With this, they didn't have to worry about being

eroded by the evil spirit if they refined and devoured the blood vitality and the ruling power in the Blood

Evil Pool.

Moreover, they found the martial arts experience and comprehension in the Blood Evil Pool were

absolutely appealing to them.

Undoubtedly, the progress of cultivating in this pool for some days was equal to that of a difficult

cultivation outside for several years. In fact, if there was a chance of a breakthrough happening here, it

would surely be comparable to working hard for a dozen years outside.

"So, this is the Blood Evil Pool. Even though I haven't taken the plunge in the pool, I can already feel

that this will be a rewarding trip," Soar said excitedly. He couldn't wait to dip himself into the pool right

away.

"Soar, be careful. There are many Blood Spirit Beasts in the depths of the pool," Ricky reminded him.

Howl! Howl! Before Ricky's words trailed off, a huge number of Blood Spirit Beasts appeared and

pounced on them one by one. Lucky for Ricky and the rest, these Blood Spirit Beasts were not strong

at all. With one strike after the other, Ricky and his friends had managed to kill them very easily.

Since Ricky's trip to the Blood Spirit Ground was already fruitful, he thought of sharing the Blood Spirit

Beasts to Gerry instead. After all, he had already gotten a Demi-sage Level airship from Oswald, and

he didn't need the beasts that much at that moment.

"Oswald said that there is something here controlling those Blood Spirit Beasts. I guess that the thing

he mentioned might be somewhere in the Blood Evil Pool," Gerry declared.

"I agree with you. What are we waiting for? Let's go and find that thing first!" Ricky replied with

enthusiasm.

"Okay, Kenney. But since you and I are already friends, I want to let you know that I don't want anything

to ruin our friendship. Now, I want to make an agreement with you before we look for that thing. How

about this? The person who gets to find that thing can keep it. Deal?" Gerry proposed. Content provided by .

"Ha-ha, that's for sure. Okay, I second the motion. Just like what people always say, treasures are

always found by their destined owners," Ricky said with a smile. "Plus, we are not the kind of people

who would rob others. So don't worry about it."

"Ha-ha!" They all burst into laughter.

Immediately, Ricky, Gerry, and their companions all went into the depths of the Blood Evil Pool to look

for the unknown and strange thing.

They did not expect too much on their journey. After all, they didn't want to get disappointed that easily.

After entering the depths of the Blood Evil Pool, Ricky did not hesitate to activate his Golden Spirit

Eyes. He would not give up the chance of getting any treasure only because Gerry was a friend of his

now. Moreover, he believed that Gerry would cherish this chance to get that thing too.

Meanwhile, his Golden Spirit Eyes ran down the Blood Evil Pool, showing all the blood evil water inside

the pool and its contents in his brain. Although he observed every nook and cranny, he still was unable

to find anything out of the ordinary.

Besides, he saw that all the others, including Gerry and Soar, hadn't found anything strange on their

end, either.

"Ricky, is it possible that those Blood Spirit Beasts were being controlled by Oswald's replica, and he

lied to us by saying that?" Tina asked.

"Well, I don't think so. With the Blue Water Mutant, he couldn't have lied to us. Moreover, he is

conceited, and we were too exhausted when he said that," Ricky answered after pondering for a while.

"Evil Mandragora, do you know something that can control creatures like the Blood Spirit Beasts?"

Ricky asked the Evil Mandragora.

"Blood Spirit Beasts are inborn creatures. I think that they can only be controlled by something from

heaven and earth that is somewhat related to blood!" Evil Mandragora tried to guess.

"Ricky, why don't you go deep inside?"

"But the deeper we go down, the heavier the blood and the evil spirit will be. And nobody knows what

happens deep inside, so we have to be extra careful," Ricky said in a deep voice. "Besides, I'd better

not reveal any more of my strength in front of Gerry and his people.

Otherwise, he will be more likely to guess my true identity. After all, people here already know about

what I did in the Eastern Land."

"You can use your Shadowy Replication and let Soar help you hide. In the meantime, you can enter

your zone and go deeper with me," the Evil Mandragora suggested.

"Well, that's a good idea. With Soar taking care of my Shadowy Replication, I'm sure that Gerry and his

companions won't be able to find the truth. In that way, things will be easier," Ricky said with a smile.

"But, Evil Mandragora, please tell me the truth. You have almost figured out what that thing is, haven't

you?"

"I know that you really have a sharp sense," the Evil Mandragora said unhappily upon hearing Ricky's

words.

"Oh, cut the crap. If it weren't something good, then you even wouldn't have tried to find a way to look

for it," Ricky accused.

"All right, but I'm just guessing based on what's around here. Let's save this talk for later. Right now, we

have to go deeper first!" the Evil Mandragora insisted.

"Very well!" Ricky nodded in agreement.

Soon after, Ricky secretly told Soar about his plan telepathically. At the same time, he used the

Shadowy Replication to create a replica of himself while his original body entered the Massacring

Zone.

Afterwards, he controlled the Massacring Zone and went deeper into the Blood Evil Pool.

"Now, can you tell me what's on your mind, Evil Mandragora?" Ricky asked teasingly as he went deep

into the Blood Evil Pool.

"Fine. But you have to promise me that you will share half of whatever that is with me," the Evil

Mandragora bargained. All of a sudden, her tone sounded a little worried, as if she was afraid that

Ricky would not agree to her terms.

"So, it seems to be very important to a middle spiritual emperor like you," Ricky said with a faint smile.

Naturally, he sensed the Evil Mandragora's worry. He then continued, "You should know me well by

now. If it is useful to you, then do you think I will seize it from you?"

"I'm sorry. Maybe I thought too much," the Evil Mandragora apologized.

At that moment, the Evil Mandragora realized that she had worried too much. After all, she should

know that Ricky was not the kind of person who would fight against his companions for treasures or

opportunities.

"Come on, quickly tell me what it is, Evil Mandragora, or I will no longer bear my own curiosity," Ricky

pleaded.

He was extremely eager to know what could make a middle spiritual emperor, such as the Evil

Mandragora, care about so much.

"Ricky, if I guess this correctly, there is a high chance that a Blood Crystal exists in the depths of the

Blood Evil Pool. And it's not just a regular one, but at the Sage Level," the Evil Mandragora said

seriously.

"What did you say?! A Blood Crystal? At Sage Level?!" Tina was shocked to hear the Evil

Mandragora's words as she knew how precious a Blood Crystal was.

"So, you know about the Blood Crystal?" the Evil Mandragora asked as she did not expect Tina's

response. After all, she found it surprising that Tina would know about such a thing when Blood

Crystals didn't exist on any continent.

"Yes, I do, because I have read records not only about continents but also about the Devil Land," Tina

said in a cheerful and exciting voice. "I read so many books and records because I didn't have anything

to do with my time other than reading."
