Ancient Tears BloodLine

(From MC's perspective)

Marsh Monster Zone,

After finishing the wind wolf, I looked back casually. Maria seems to be in a daze. Seeing that my mouth curved into an arc. It feels good. The immense strength gives me a sense of security.

"What happened?" Maria uttered in surprise. Before she could realize the monster disappeared in a blink of an eye.

She asked, "Zack, what is your exact realm?"

In curiosity, she walked up to him.

I let out a small chuckle and shook my head. If she knows it will be a huge blow for her. So I replied, "Similar to you, but I practice some strange techniques."

Maria rolled her eyes at him. She is not a fool. Which technique can make a warrior disappear in an instant? Even her father seems pale in front of Zack.

Thinking about the gap difference between the two, she sighed inwardly. But her and Zack's paths are different.

She is carrying the burden of her clan. Things can be changed after joining the academy.

At the same time, I observed Maria's expression. She seems to be contemplating. Shaking my head, I decided to head deep into the woods.

50 minutes later,

We reached the middle of the inner area. Compared to the last time, I reached here in a short time.

"Are we going to spend our entire day here?" Maria asked.

Hearing that my eyes gleamed with a twinkle. She made an immediate decision to travel together with me. What about her family? Did they know?

"Yes, I'm not going to return soon. The city lord is staring at Hansen. To avoid unnecessary troubles, I don't want to expose myself before the start of the tournament," I answered with a small smile on my face.

Maria nodded her head in understanding.

I glanced at her before deciding to take some rest for a while. The journey is easy for me. But she seems to be a little exhausted.

She needs to gather the energy from the surroundings before continuing our adventure.

Then I proceed to set up two large tents laid with some formation. Which can remind us in case of some danger.

Class 2 Monsters appear very often in this place. It may become a suitable training spot for Maria.

10 minutes later,

We both repeated back in our tent. Sitting cross-legged on the mat. A quick glint flashed in my eyes. I also wanted to test my Blood Field Technique.

It is not good to reveal my cards in front of her.

Swish!

The next moment, I disappeared from the spot and appeared outside.

"Maria, I'm going outside for a while. I'll be back in an hour," Saying I choose the right direction to leave.

Swish!

After a couple of seconds, Maria walked out of the tent. Seeing the empty tent opposite her. A curious glint flashed in her eyes.

At the same time, I reached closer to a group of monsters. But I stopped my movement in mid-air and hid among big clouds.

I see adventurer groups were targeting the group of monsters. Some of them were setting traps before the start of the crucial fight.

The monsters are a group of hyenas. Currently, taking a rest under the shade of a tree. And these people seem to be aware of it.

My lips curved into a gentle arc. To be honest, I don't like hyenas either. But this Marsh City's monster zone is weak and has a low number of monsters.

The government puts no restrictions on adventure groups which caused a drastic reduction in the Monster population.

This is also one of the reasons why I didn't tag along with Maria earlier. The only reason I came here was to test blood field technique not to hunt monsters.

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

The monsters below Class 4 are especially weak. So there is no point in crushing them.

I slowly observed everyone's movements. Seeing the number of traps placed. A frown appeared on my face.

These people intend to wipe out the entire group. Slight anger appeared in my heart. This Monster Zone is a livelihood for many warriors from Tier-8 cities.

I can't imagine. If there is no monster zone in our area, then we have to travel to another region. Which is bound with hostilities. A cold glint flashed in my eyes.

"These people are suitable targets to test my blood field technique," I mumbled under my breath.

Swish!

I disappeared from the cloud and appeared closer to the adventurer groups. None of them can sense my presence.

Imagining the invisible aura in mind. I started to run the field technique. A vicious red color field appealed next second.

The reddish field starts to expand like a blood sea. I didn't use the Elite cultivation base. I simply restricted the powers to the Special Trainee level.

Because none of them were Trainee Warriors. This is a reality of warriors from the surrounding city. Compared to Baguva city, the difference is sky and mud.

At the same time, I also activated the perceptual ability to notice the changes.

The groups of warriors who were busy setting up traps suddenly felt alarmed. Before they could realize the warriors were caught inside the blood sea.

Immediately changes happen to take place inside the field. The blood of warriors starts to undergo some changes. Especially the blood power makes the warrior's blood boil.

After a couple of seconds, the blood starts to vaporize. Seeing such a phenomenon inside the field, my heart set off storms.

What kind of crazy technique is this? It is almost a silent killer. No one can explain the phenomenon of blood vaporization.

A few minutes later,

Several dried corpses dropped to the ground. If one looks at the state of corpses, one will experience a terrible nightmare.

"This field technique is a kind of hole card. If it is released, then the enemy would be caught off guard," I said to myself.

Then I turned the remaining corpses into ashes before going back to the tent.

My little experiment here is done. Now, I can spend the rest of my time on future goals.

After a few minutes, I arrived back. Maria seems to be in a state of retreat. I didn't disturb her and quickly entered my tent.

Sitting cross-legged, I ponder deeply.

What to do next? Going back to white snow city? I shake my head in denial. More than the Hansen campus, I believe many people were waiting outside at home.

The population of the White snow city is low compared to Red City. So I can't walk freely out there. Do I have to be cautious?

My instinct tells me not to do anything before seeing Jonathan. The more I think about it the more it seems logical.

There is no need to hurry. I can't cultivate in this environment anymore. The energy around the atmosphere seems to be thin.

No wonder, after the breakthrough many Elite Warriors choose to leave for Tier-7 cities and above to practice. They can't stay here.

After reaching this realm, I feel the difference.

I can only pass the remaining days leisurely by improving the rest of the techniques.

Suddenly the image of a certain place comes to mind.

"Mountain Liz," I mumbled under my breath.

Last time, I met a girl from a Tier-7 city. I wonder what she is doing right now? A figure of a woman comes to mind.

Smash!

Suddenly, I heard some sounds outside.

Swish!

I disappeared from the spot and appeared outside.

Black Striped Tiger- Class 3 Monster

I recognized the monster in one glance. The monster is currently observing our tent. The blood of the tiger monster is extremely valuable.

It is tasteless to me but for Maria, it will improve her physique.

Swish!

Right after the disturbance, Maria walked out instantly.

"Class-3 Monster," Maria uttered in surprise.

"Good"

"Can you defeat it? I asked.

Maria looked at me before a firm look appeared in her eyes. Without replying she rushed to attack the black tiger.

Seeing that I nodded and decided to monitor from the sidelines. The dangers in the odyssey monster zone are going to be many times compared to here.

She should face this kind of monster alone.

One hour later,

Maria takes out the monster's core from the cold corpse.

Time passed in a blink of an eye,

The entire day went through hunting and resting.

The following day,

We decided to go back home. I feel bored here. Instead of wasting time here, I made up my mind to visit old places. Including the mountain Liz, the iron post city, and the star tower.

I believe that the whole journey would take a couple of weeks. And after the completion of the trip, the crimson hall event would officially start.

Then after walking out of the monster zone. We immediately left Marsh City. We both parted ways. Maria has gone back to her Clan. And I decided to go to the iron post city.

Last time, the city was plagued by bandit activities. The economy of the city had also gone through turmoil.

I can't wait to see the changes happen there later. There is one more thing I'm planning to do. I'm going to investigate the whole insect forest this time.

The strange atmosphere prevailing in insect forest is worth the study.
