Chapter 281 Part 2: Brown Cliff Monster Zone

(From MC Perspective)

The Adventurers thought Zack was asleep. But actually he was keenly listening to every conversation.

Sigh, I forgot that I'm famous now. And people will recognise me instantly. Why haven't I thought about it earlier? I wanted to smack my forehead, But I stopped after realizing my situation.

"Hey, He is so young. But he actually achieved the number 1 spot in Star Tower." One of the female adventurers started admiring.

Likewise conversation started to break out, while one of the old adventurers' faces turned ugly, as he sensed no cultivation base from Zack Lockwood. Am I wrong? No it must be some kind of artifact to hide his level.

"Sure this kid has some life saving measures. Otherwise he wouldn't venture out all alone." The old adventurer said to himself.

Time progresses,

Everyone failed to strike conversation with Zack Lockwood. In the end they went back to their seats dejectedly. Yet still some had hope that Zack will wake up when the train reaches Brown Cliff Monster Zone. Then they will surely get a chance to meet him.

Few hours later,

The train enters the Brown Cliff City's train station. The whole time, Zack didn't get any sleep. He is actually eavesdropping everyone's conversation the entire time. Some appeared to be normal but some were having ulterior motives.

As the train reached the platform it slowed down its speed and at the same time, the announcement came.

Hearing that I prepared myself for getting out as early as possible through the crowd.

As the train came to a complete halt, before anyone rose from their seats. I swiftly head towards the exit.

Seeing such sudden movement, everyone turned towards the direction. But upon seeing it's Zack Lockwood. The commotion breaks out, "He is escaping!" Someone couldn't help but shout.

Soon the crowd immediately rushed behind Zack to stop him from slipping away. But unfortunately Zack got successful.

"Phew!" Such a close call. Fortunately, I successfully escaped. Then I immediately hopped into the air car before anyone recognised me here.

After taking a seat, I told the driver about my destination. The air car moved slowly upwards and immediately flew above the high clouds.

I can see the clear view of the Brown Cliff town from here, only the infrastructure around the train station can be seen. Rest of the area is still underdeveloped.

Situation around here is a little different compared to other Monster Zones. Usually, lot of trade happens around the moneter zones. But I don't know what the exact situation is around here.

A few minutes later, the air car slowly reached the ground as we reached the entrance of the Monster Zone.

I stepped out of the car and immediately went towards the control room where they will give me a personal code to enter. With this code I can walk out from the Monster Zone whenever I want.

Like any other Monster Zones, Brown Cliff Monster Zone is surrounded by a huge wall to contain the Monsters from outbreaks. If you want to enter you can only go through the main gate, for which you need personal code to type in.

The Admin didn't make it any difficult for me, after verifying my details he gave code to me. Then without wasting much time around here, I walk towards the entrance gate.

As I walked along, I found a wave of Adventurers moving towards the main direction. Most of them were in teams, I could rarely spot any solo adventurer.

After arriving at the main entrance gate, I typed in personal code. The door immediately opened after it, Then I stepped in and decided to find some secluded location before making some plans.

Followed by Zack, Warriors stepped in one by one.

As usual the Monster Zone is divided into outer area, inner area and core area. Only beginners spend most of their time around the outer area. While some experienced adventurers venture in the inner area, even some daring warriors don't mind stepping inside the core area.

After walking along the narrow path, I found some secluded spots. Actually this narrow path is different from the main path. Where the main path is the adventurers used to take normally Since I'm not planning to go with them. I broke away from the main path and ended up in this narrow path.

Inorder to make sure, I used my perceptual ability. Soon the area within 20 meters mapped in mind. I found so many moving spots around me going in different directions. No doubt they were adventurers who came along with me.

My perception ability also evolved due to brain expansion. I can distinguish clearly between the moving objects, whether it's monsters or humans it's represented in different colors.

The blue dots in mind represent humans and I don't know about the Monsters. But I will find it soon. Then I access the map to get a clear view of my location. Uncle talked about Hardened Bears, they must be inside the core area.

Which brings back my old memories, where I got chased by those hyenas. This time it's different, I shrugged off and walked away immediately. Monsters won't roam around the outer area. To find it, I need to go a little deeper.

I held my black blade in my hand to slice these bushes hindering my way. Looks like it's been long since someone walked down this path. Otherwise there won't be so many weeds along this path.

Other than Monsters, the difficult thing here is to navigate around this area safely. Thanks to perception, I can avoid the sudden appearance of Monsters. No wonder, the adventurers go as a team. Someone needs to watch their back for safety.

Few hours later,

"Phew! I finally reached the inner area, it took me lot of time to walk through the narrow path. If it were main path, it would have saved me a hour. But everything is fine since I spot number of monsters around the vicinity. It will make up my loss eventually. Inorder to make sure, I once again used my perception. After confirming it, I choose my first target.
