The legendary warrior

"The reason is quite simple. We need to get more black dots!" Heather explained calmly, as if she had anticipated Ricky's puzzle in this respect.

"If we invite someone at the eighth grade of Skin Refinement to join us to do it, we will have to divide the five hundred black dots into four equal shares. That's only one hundred and twenty-five for each one of us. If we join forces with someone at the seventh grade, we will get more dots. Does that make sense?"

"Of course, yes. I understand!" Ricky replied, nodding.

"So, here is my second question. How many dots do I get if I join you?" he asked pointedly.

At hearing this question, Heather exchanged looks with the two men, before telling Ricky the maximum share they were willing to give. "Fifty. That's the highest we can go!"

"Fifty? That's all you're offering?" Ricky asked, scratching his head at this.

For a warrior at the seventh grade of Skin Refinement, fifty-black dots was a pretty generous offer. After all, the seventh grade warrior would only have to help pin down the beast during the whole process. He didn't need to attack it up close. Ricky was not a stupid man. He knew that it would be greedy for him to ask for more dots.

While Ricky was weighing the benefits in his head, one of the men, Finn Zhang stepped forward and tried to persuade him with a smiling face. "Hey, buddy. I think fifty dots are pretty fair for you. Don't you think so?" He continued, "I'm sure that you know well about your current state. It's near impossible for you to hunt fifty beasts in thirteen days."

"Alright. I'm in!" Ricky said, deciding to not hesitate anymore because what Finn Zhang just said was exactly what he had been worried about.

"Great! You just made a wise decision!" Waylon nodded in excited praise for Ricky's final decision.

The four, thus having made the agreement, began on their journey together.

They made their way to the spot where the injured beast had been tracked to.

Finally, they were near. It was a large marsh where the carcasses of both warriors and beasts were rotting. Needless to say, a horrible smell permeated the air.

The three men were fine with it and didn't express their disgust at this place. They were men, who were brought up used to stinky smells. Heather, however, furrowed her delicate brows the entire trip. Obviously, this kind of place repulsed her more civilized tastes.

If it were not for the quest to hunt the beast of Blood Purification to earn more black dots, she would never have gone here, not even for one second.

Finn Zhang and Waylon Wang scrambled to impress Heather all the way by exploring the way for her. It could not be more obvious that both of them had feelings for the beautiful lady.
