Ancient Tears BloodLine

Chapter 170 - Collecting Cores

I'm thinking about it. I can finally tell who they are. It's a four-person team. I recall seeing them in front of the gate. It is preferable not to confront them. Who knows, maybe they'll force me to follow them. I'm really interested in getting a sense of where they're at. But, in the end, I came to a reluctant halt.

If I do it, it will immediately reveal my location. As a result, I held my breath and waited for them to leave. The four-person team kept a close eye on the surroundings. They are not in the mood for small talk. Fortunately, they did not come across Zack. As a result, after a few minutes. They walked away from this location and into the grey area.

When I saw four people, I moved away from this location. I breathed a sigh of relief. Then I look at the map to figure out where I'm going next. Clearly, I'm not going to go after them. It is preferable to be far away from them. I went deeper into the grey area after confirming it.

Exact opposite of four team members' directions. A half-hour later, time had passed. I drank water while remaining vigilant in the surrounding area. I'm fairly certain now that I've checked the map. I'm stuck in the middle of nowhere. If I keep up my usual pace, I will undoubtedly reach the inner area. I don't want to take the risk at this time.

So I'm going to scout this area. If there is a monster area, it would be ideal. I really don't want to go any further. I arrived at an open space a few minutes later. It's a barren, rocky landscape. It's a good battleground. My efforts were rewarded when I discovered a Class 2 Monster. I'm not sure how I feel about the race. I need to get closer to it. I accelerated my pace after making my decision. Finally, I can make out the monster. I became excited after realising what it was.

Crimson Dot Salamander- Class Monster Level 2>>

It's body was constantly emitted a rich, fiery energy. A surprise glint flashes in my eyes as I notice this. That fiery energy appeared to be fire energy, and seeing that some heat was emitted from it, I'm certain of it. In contrast to the world's normal fire element. Because of the bloodline, this fire energy undoubtedly possesses additional characteristics.

When I realised this, it piqued my interest. The salamander is perched on a rock. I'm not sure if he's sleeping or not. I absorbed my consciousness into the storage ring and drew the black sword from the storage ring.

I flew towards the salamander, gripping my sword tightly. I'm not sure if it's my bad luck or not. It became aware of my presence and immediately spewed attributed fire energy from its mouth. When I realised this, my face became solemn. This energy does not sit well with me. So, instead of confronting it. I stepped away from it.

After that, I slashed downward. My blade formed an arc in the air, and as it touched its body, it penetrated its skin a little deeper.

"What exactly is it?" "Why is its flesh so different?" I mumbled to myself.

It didn't appear to be scale or flesh. While I was thinking about it, the salamander attacked me with its tale. I deflected it with my sword when I saw it coming. It is very simple to win the battle. This salamander is still in its early stages. But I'm wary of its ferocious energy. I need to devise a good strategy. I realised I had moved away from my original location. I intended to use a long-range attack.

"Sword Divide," I said.

As a result, my mental lightning rune began to flicker. I focused my attention and began to charge my back sword with lightning energy. As the lightning energy poured into the sword. It was accompanied by a small thundering sound. Meanwhile, the Monster kept charging at me. Firey energy is being directed precisely at my location. As I focused on the sword. To deal with it, I moved far enough away from its attack range. The black sword became charged with purple lightning energy in an instant.

With my sword, I had already marked the salamander's energy. My sword is gripped tightly. I expelled the energy all at once. As a result, a violet beam shot from the sword and slammed into the salamander's head. As a result of the attack, "Puff" the salamander's skull was ripped open. Everything inside its skull has been charcoaled. If it's a monster of level one. Its head would have vanished during the attack. My lips curved slightly, satisfied with the devastation. It's now enough for a class 2 monster.

The Monster's body fell to the ground. Because of my recent skill advancements, I now have less charging time. I'm hoping to get to intermediate in the next few days.

However, it still takes some time. If my skill level improves slightly, It will increase my combat power. The charging time would be reduced as a result. I let out a wry smile thinking that for instant skill. I need to make a breakthrough in order to reach the big wheel or the perfect wheel. Seeing the monster's body. I'm not going to waste any time. I attempted to remove its skin.

However, it is consuming far too much time and energy. As a result, I cut its body into small pieces and stored them all in a container. I put its reddish brown core in my storage ring. I moved away from the area after removing the traces. This fight will draw a monster. So I accelerated my pace. A few minutes later, a few monsters arrived and sniffed the scent before fleeing.

Time passed, but Zack was unable to locate any other Monsters.

Seeing that environment is a long way off. In frustration, I knitted my brows. I took out my wristwatch to inspect the surroundings. Given that I'm only a short distance from the heart of the coniferous forest. My heart beats a little faster. My trip would be pointless if I didn't find any monsters. I need to make a decision right now.

I took a deep breath after calming down my nerves. "Looks like I'll have to go into the tiger's den," I muttered under my breath. Then I slowed my face as I approached the inner area. I know it's crazy, but I have to take a chance. Please come across me if you come across any higher level monsters. I will undoubtedly employ the explosive artefact. I never imagined Philip's artefact would become my backup plan.

An hour later, on the outskirts of the inner care. Zack fought a mutated lizard and successfully recovered the core of their bodies. He had killed four monsters so far, including a salamander. But his lightning energy reserve is now depleted. Due to a lack of reserve, he was unable to perform sword divide.

By observing the situation in my dantian, I smiled wryly. This is something I won't be able to solve as long as I stay in Tier 8 cities. The sword divide uses a lot more energy. It is extremely perplexing in the early stages.

However, this attack would truly execute its original horror in a level above the elite. After I got those negative thoughts out of my head. Due to a lack of energy, I have decided to leave this location. I can't replenish my lightning energy because I don't have affinity stones. It is pointless to try again. So I decided to walk backwards to the grey area.

I walked towards the grey area a few minutes later. My chest tightens unexpectedly. My expression changed dramatically as I realised something was wrong. I make a firm decision to hide behind trees. After I killed those monsters, I never turned off my perceptual ability.

If there is a risk. I would have noticed it. I turned off my perceptual ability and concealed my breath. My expression became solemn as I turned my gaze in the direction of the inner area.

The inner area posed a threat to me. "It must be a class three Monster," I reasoned in my head. I even battled a Peak level Class 2 Monster. But this momentum is scarier than Monster's black forests. I'm still ducked as a statue. Fortunately, it's not the monster's breath. Otherwise, I would have been found out. Seeing how far the movement has spread. I slowed down a little.

A few minutes later, I decided to continue my retreat. But who would think I'd been duped? I started moving towards the grey area. My body strength gave me a lot of power. I had the impression that I used my leg technique to move faster and try to get out of this situation. "dum" "dum," a loud sound reverberates throughout the area. "This is bad, what bad luck," I grumbled.

My movements are not in a straight line. Otherwise, whatever is coming from my behind would target me. I had no choice but to activate my perceptual ability to detect danger. Immediately surrounding environments came to mind in my mind. I noticed a four-legged animal coming from the interior.. When I realised this, my chest tightened and my heart began to beat faster.
