Ancient Tears BloodLine

(From MC Perspective)

The last person is fleeing frantically but after some time he isn't able to go through such dense vegetation. From time to time he looks back to see whether the person is following him or not. He knows if he gets caught then it will be the end for him.

He is really scared, he feels the enemy might be related to the victims. Soon he calms down his worries and tries to go through the bushes. But unfortunately, his fate is already decided.

Soon, I caught the glimpse of the person. He is quite a distance away from me. But it's enough for me to use my sword attack.

I held my sword vertically and took aim at him.

Then I used the Lightning Sword attack.

"Sword Divide"

I pour a large amount of pure lightning essence in the sword. In the next moment, an overbearing lightning power released from the sword.

It looked like a straight purple line.

The lightning energy reached the back of the person in a blink of an eye and made a gigantic hole in his chest.

"Pop"

The corpse falls on the ground the next second. Seeing the result, I hurried my pace to erase the traces.

After some time, I disposed of his body after collecting his valuables. Then I made my way towards the little deeper inside the inner area.

I'm quite pleased with the improvement of my techniques. It's quite swift and clean. After going a little deep inside, I found no traces of monsters in my perception.

I feel a little strange about the situation after reaching this far. It's normal for monsters to not appear near outer areas.

So, I thought about encountering them in the inner area. But I only came across the Wild Boar. That monster was supposed to roam around the outer area. But it was wandering in the inner area.

For that Wild Boar to roam around the inner area, there is only one reason behind it. There is no predator monster here.

Did constant hunting reduce the count of Monsters? I couldn't help but raise my eyebrows realizing the reason.

In that case, I need to go even further deep. Maybe the core area. But it's going to be a little tricky. Hmm, I have never come across such a situation. Normally, at this point of time. I should be fleeing from monsters, if it were some other monster zone.

But this one is different, I sighed and used my perceptual again. Constant use of perceptual ability makes me mentally tired. If it goes on, my concentration will lapse.

Suddenly,

I noticed several blue dots coming towards my direction. But their movement is somewhat slow. Seeing that I decided to move from this place and go a little deeper.

20 Minutes later,

Finally, There is some movement from monsters. I raised my eyebrows in curiosity, What kind of monsters are going together in one direction? A bad premonition rose in my heart. Is it pack? I couldn't help but recall old memories of Hyenas Pack.

If it's a pack then it would be troublesome. Even with double repair strength, I'm not sure about how I fare against them. On top of that, I don't know what kind of Monster it is.

I observed the red dots a little bit more in mind. By looking at their direction, I know they are moving towards the core area. I smiled wryly seeing that. These Monsters won't be scared by core area monsters. As they are moving together as a pack.

I twitched, If not for a pack I might have confronted them. Shaking my head, I begin to check the spoils. I don't think there will be any treasure in these spoils. I can vaguely guess the items.

After going through their storage ring, I found huge amounts of pills. Seeing that, "Sure" I uttered with a knowing smile. These were basic necessities bought by every Adventurer.

1. Healing Pill, 2. Blood essence Pill, 3. Poison Pill. 4. Bug Resistant Powder. 5. Monster Attracting Powder. And few other low end artifacts.

After going through it, I placed them in my storage ring. As I expected, all of them were basic stuff. These thieves must have planned to sell them outside.

Though these pills can be bought with a few hundred credit points. Yet large quantities were something else, It can be sold for thousand credit points. With such an amount in my hand, I can buy a good monster core.

After going through all of it, I thought about my current situation again. It's really disappointing to not come across any monsters. But If I go to the core area, I may encounter not only monsters but also humans.

I still have some reservations about my element. I don't plan on exposing it before the exhibition event. I have endured it so far. So I don't want to spoil my effort over this trip.

I sighed and made a decision. Instead of going towards the core area. I plan to go sideways towards my right direction. If I continue according to my plan, it's impossible for monsters to escape from my perception.

So I moved towards my right direction. It will be difficult, since it's not a straight path. Soon, I came across a few blue dots in my mind. Seeing the arrangements of the dots, it's seems like two groups fighting each other.

For a moment, I hesitated a little bit.

Should I see what's going on? No, I came to hunt monsters. It's better to move around them and follow my original direction.

After sorting out my thoughts, I continued to move.

It's already noon, this hot weather is also making my movements a little slower.

Sometimes later,

I came across a large wet swamp. Seeing that I halted my movements suddenly. So far there is no movement around me. But I found this swamp a little different.

Suddenly, I heard some rusting sound which surprised me.

I looked over the dark swamp for any movements. I also make sure that there is no breath released from me.

Seeing that there is no response so far. I take out monster attracting powder from the storage ring. This is going to be crazy!
