The legendary warrior

"Well, Raylan didn't tell me. Or that could also mean that he doesn't really know how to guide us to him. But as far as I know, that is his blood essence, and I can use that to track them down," Ashley answered.

"Let's get to it. We don't have much time. I just hope that they can hold on until we arrive," Ricky said in a hopeful voice.

Without delay, Ricky, Hayes, and Mordechai followed Ashley and made their way to the Land of Thorn.

After travelling nonstop for three days, the team arrived at a wet, dark place that housed evil spirit. They found it haunting as the place made them feel shivers down their spines.

As they continued walking into the place, they felt that they could encounter dangers at any time.

To make things worse, they noticed some thick, black, hard, thorny plants that seemed to have been all over the place.

With full caution, they moved slowly. It was as if they were the only living creatures in that terrifying place.

The plants in the area rose high and covered half the sky, with many of them drenched in blood. In addition, there was rotten flesh and bones everywhere.

In general, it was the thorny plants which made the place such a nightmare.

"This creepy place is the Land of Thorn. It's disgusting, I know," Ricky said in a hushed tone as his eyes stared at the moving thorny plants around him. Meanwhile, Mordechai, Hayes, and Ashley also observed the plants secretly, with a little bit of fear in their eyes.

They were all aware of the fact that those nasty thorny plants had psychic intelligence. This meant that they could fight like the humanoid evil flowers in the ancestral land of the human devil tribe that they had run into before.

"Remember, don't do anything unless these thorny plants attack us. And, of course, do no provoke them either," Hayes said to the other three companions telepathically. "But, don't worry. They won't really attack us. They only feast on dead and rotten corpses."

"Okay, got it!" Ricky and the others replied at the same time, in the same manner.

Since they didn't launch attacks on them, the ancient thorny plants ignored their presence.

"He is right. It seems like they're only interested in rotten corpses," Ricky murmured to himself in a low voice.
