Ancient Tears BloodLine

Odyssey Monster Zone,

Time passed in a blink of an eye,

All the seed candidates immersed themselves in hunting. Nobody was aware of the danger that was waiting for them. The monster zone is so huge that it consumes everyone's time.

Finally, a group of warriors crossed the border area to reach the western area of the monster zone. On the way, they successfully killed Class 2 and Class 3 Monsters.

Meanwhile,

Mark's mouth twitched. His gaze fell on a group of warriors who were moving toward the tree monsters' area. He can already imagine their end if they come across the tree monster.

As he had expected, the changes started to take place. Out of nowhere, a tree root appeared in front of the group. And it pierced through the body of the warrior.

"Don't tell me that you guys didn't even leave tree monsters," Harvey said, looking at the screen. The root of the tree monster appears to be double in size.

So this is not the normal case unless someone made a successful experiment. Everyone knows his words were pointed at Casey.

First Elder Casey's face is darkened. Earlier, these people showed no objection to his proposal. And now they are pointing fingers at him. He cursed them in his heart.

But he couldn't dare to refute it, so he silently endured it.

None of them looked at Casey's reaction, rather the situation on the ground was rather serious. In a blink of an eye, the tree monster killed everyone. Not even corpses were spared after their death.

The roots immediately sucked blood from the corpses before disappearing back into the ground.

Seeing that, Autumn Holt furrowed her beautiful eyebrows. The appearance of the tree monster disgusted her greatly. Especially after knowing the monster is an experimental product, her expressions became complicated.

On normal days, these practices were banned by the academy. But now the times have changed. To think such monsters were used for screening, she felt mixed emotions in her heart.

Unlike Autumn, Teresa York is appreciating the work gone beyond the tree monster. She feels the same method can be employed back in the academy. Where the competition would be even more severe.

Similarly, the other super elite warriors focused their attention on a different screen.

In one particular screen, a lone warrior trespassed the area of a bloodsucking rat. Unaware, the warrior made his way even deeper into the area.

Click!

He hears a broken twig sound which makes him break out in cold sweat. Unlike the southern area, the territory here is gloomy and wet. The warrior's feeling gets worse as the seconds go by.

Swish!

Before he could think straight, death catches him. A lot of blood eyes rat monsters rushed towards him from all directions.
Plop!

Seeing that warrior loses strength in his legs and dropped to the ground. The swarm of rat monsters attacked him and within seconds there was no sign of him except piles of bones.

This scene caught the eyes of a super elite warrior from Silver Clouds Academy, June Shelton. He finally saw someone crossing the central area. Which piqued his curiosity.

But the ending left him disappointed. The majority of the warriors were still roaming in the southern section. And those who crossed to reach other areas died shortly after their arrival.

The screening is going nowhere in his opinion. At least he didn't even spot talented seeds.

Outside,

"Jonathan, don't forget to destroy this monster zone. I don't want any single of the lab experiments to slip away, " Lowell McCain said in a cold tone.

"As per your order, master," Jonathan said.

Jonathan knows the horror of escaped lab experiments. Many such cases happened in history. Any wrong judgment would end up reaping millions of lives.

But here there is no way, the army federation is not aware of this situation. He couldn't help but look at the back of his master. He expects something big is going to happen soon.

If any rotten pieces are hiding in the federation, they will soon witness the master's wrath.

Meanwhile,

Bob Williamson, Austin Boyer, Bradley Reese, Ella Downs, and Sallie Mills safely crossed the southern area to reach the dark swamp.

The group didn't hastily barge into the swamp after their arrival. Rather they set up their tent half a mile before the dark swamp.

Inside the tent,

"Sigh"

"Thanks to our intel. We successfully avoided all those dangerous traps," Sallie said with a sigh.

Next to her, Ella Down is sitting cross-legged and cultivating to recover the depleted essence in her dantian.

But when she heard Sallie's words, she opened her eyes to look at her.

"The dark swamp trial is easy compared to other sections," Ella added but a hint of fear flashed in her eyes the next second.

Before coming here, the crimson hall gave them a general idea of the monster zone. Especially the information about the different sections of the monster zone.

At that time none of them wanted to participate in it. Because the desire for competition is replaced by fear. There is a very slim possibility to survive in the end.

But as a host, it would be bad if no one from Crimson Hall participates in the competition. Thinking about their current situation. Ella sighed inwardly.

If not for prior Intel, they would have been dead long ago. Now it's much more important to survive than collecting monster cores.

Sallie nodded in response. For others, the dark swamp is a dangerous area. But they only know that it is providing a natural barrier. So that the bloodthirsty rats won't come in.

Thinking about the bloodthirsty rats, her face discolored slightly.

...

(From MC's perspective)

After crossing the forest area, I'm finally getting close to the eastern direction.

Thankfully, I killed a lot of monsters on the way without making much noise. Now I have more than a thousand points with me. I believe this will be enough to stand out.

When I'm pondering, I hear some disturbance nearby. I raised my eyebrows and quickly used my perceptual ability. The surrounding area quickly comes to my mind.

"To think such a nasty monster is hiding here," I mumbled under my breath. The monster is none other than a worm monster. I'm familiar with this type of monster.

But I doubt it will be difficult to retrieve the core from this monster. Half of the body is hiding under the ground. The monster will slip away easily. Besides, I'm not in any hurry to collect the monster cores.

Suddenly, images of some familiar flash into my mind. I wonder what they are doing? Shaking my head, I resumed my journey.

After a few minutes, I spotted many boar monsters ahead. But looking at several injuries on their body. A quick glint flashed in my eyes.

The injury appeared to be unnatural. How come all monsters had gruesome injuries on their body?

But suddenly, I realized something. "Lab products?" I uttered in surprise. I don't know whether to laugh or cry. How come there is not even a single ordinary monster here?

I shook my head before approaching them slowly. When I got closer, I released the soul needle attack on them.

Swish!

An invisible needle shot at the boar monster in a blink of an eye. The monster wasn't aware of the incoming danger. Then after a few seconds, it suddenly dropped dead on the ground.

This sudden situation alerted other nearby monsters. They immediately began to flee. Seeing that, I released a few more soul needle attacks.

Swish! Swish!

In a blink of an eye, the boar monsters fell one by one. When all the monsters were dead, I walked forward to collect the monster cores.

After collecting the monster cores, I moved away from the area. But soon I picked up a signal in my perception. "Warriors," I raised my eyebrows in surprise.

I had never expected other groups to catch upon. "Interesting," I said in my heart. I believe these groups of warriors might be from Tier-7 cities. My eyes gleamed with a twinkle.

Let's see the power of Tier-7 city warriors. I have collected enough points anyway. So it doesn't hurt if I can observe them for a while.

Soon I hid behind the tree and concealed my presence. A few minutes later, a group of warriors appeared at the same spot. "Trainee Warriors," I muttered to myself.

Looking at their expensive armor and safety gear. A quick glint flashes in my eyes. But the next second, I sneered. After having experience wearing those full-body armor suits, these gears look cheap in my eyes.

Then my gaze followed their movements. One of them crouched down to touch the footprints of the boar monster. I have to say the soul needle method is extremely flawless.

There is not even a single blood drop splatter on the ground. The warrior starts to check the carcass of the monster.

The group looked quite bewildered after seeing the corpse of the monsters. Especially, seeing no trace of blood here. The monster's life appeared to be ended by some unknown method.
