Ancient Tears BloodLine

(From the MC's Point of View)

Night time-Insect Forest,

After scanning the surroundings for a while, I began to take a nap. It's impossible to get a good sleep in this forest.

In particular, I'm at the door of the inner area. Who knows when the next monster will pop up in front of me?

I slept on the branches of the tree.

Time went on.

The next morning, I woke up earlier to venture inside. It's fortunate that no monster came out last night to disturb me.

After finishing my morning routine, I scanned the surrounding area with my perception.

Images of plant monsters flash before my eyes.

I don't know whether anyone came by following the same route.

Then, dispelling the thoughts, I started to move. I used the black sword in my hands to clear out the vegetation.

I need to find a path that leads me deep inside the insect forest. It would be best if I came across paths used by bandits.

The maps that I had didn't have information about the inner area routes.

They only marked the dangerous areas on the map.

It shows that many warriors didn't enter the inner areas before.

Otherwise, the intelligence would have been recorded.

Time progresses, and slowly I begin to move deeper into the woods. Except for a few nasty bug monsters, I haven't encountered any dangerous monsters or bandits so far.

At the same time, I also had my attention on the surrounding areas.

If I find any secretive places,then I will spend some time perfecting my lightning technique.

Most of my time is wasted on navigating my way through the forest. I hardly came across any monsters.

When I was lamenting, several red dots popped up in my mind.

I had already thought of a feasible plan to deal with these bugs. I decided to use my blood method aura to stun them.

I remember the last time I used this invisible aura to put my senior into his place.

Combining the stun effect of invisible aura with lightning power, it's easy to remove these bugs in no time.

"Buzz!"

A swarm of bugs is coming towards me at a breakneck speed. I adjusted my posture before taking a look at my surroundings.

It's hard to get around this place.

I feel these bugs might have sensed my presence before. So their nest is somewhere around here.

Through my perception, I saw red dots moving fast. But I can't see the bugs in front of me. What's happening? I quickly used my brain to find an answer.

My senses have already been heightened as a result of the breakthrough. On top of that, I'm undergoing Inheritance's trial also.

So there is no way for these bugs to escape my eyes.

"Buzz!" "Buzz!" "Buzz!"

Even before I saw the monster, I heard a buzzing sound from these bugs.

Next,I recited the blood method in my mind.

A familiar sensation of blood boiling occurs in my body. The red inked part of my skeleton began to vibrate.

The next second, I felt an invisible aura take over me. It's just that I can't see through the colour of it. But if I concentrate enough, I can spot some blood.

Soon, the red dots reached me. The buzzing sound almost made my ears bleed.

Then I try to expand the aura.

As I expected, the swarm of bugs halted for a moment. My lips curved into an arc.

"SWORD DIVIDE"

I launched the lightning attack. After storing the lightning essence in my blade, I discharge the purple-colored lightning at them.

"Boom," a deafening sound, resonates in the area.

"Spike," I introduced myself.

Through perception, I saw almost 2/3 of the red dots dissipate into thin air. Then I used the same move to wipe out the remaining ones in no time.

For ordinary elemental warriors, these bugs were a nightmare for them. Because most of the bugs in this forest were deadly.

If someone gets bitten by one of these bugs, they will die due to poisoning. Even if they want to treat the person, they have to first get out of the forest safely.

My condition was way better than theirs. These bugs won't be able to break the defence of my lightning wheel.

Next, after erasing the traces, I continued my journey.

…

Restaurant-Iron Post City,

Hearing Caleb's words, Regina Hicks and Bethany Marsh looked at each other.

At this time, the breezing wind team leader Regina Hicks opened her mouth to say, "Now that I think about it, we shouldn't have followed the Fire Sword Team's methods."

"Harumph!" Morgan Buck snorted in displeasure.

This girl was the one who proposed the method in the first place. Now she is regretting it. So what is the use of it now?

Morgan shakes his head in denial.

Seeing the attitude of Morgan, drizzling rain water team leader Bethany Marsh chuckled.

On the other hand, Caleb decided to talk about the main topic. Otherwise, three of them will fight with each other.

"Coughed," he coughed, breaking the silence.

"Have you guys received any clues about the Black Fist team?" Caleb asked. He is pretty sure that Mateo is going to talk about this in the meeting.

Morgan furrowed his eyebrows.

He asked Morris to look into this matter. But clearly they didn't find anything. It almost feels like Benny Sutton disappears into thin air.

He suddenly thought of something and asked, "Did Benny Sutton get killed by insect bugs?"

Hearing that, three of them looked at him like a fool.

Regina Hicks commented, "There are no deadly bugs in the outer area which can pose a threat to the trainee Warrior; besides, they haven't found his corpse yet."

A slight glint flashes in Caleb's eyes.

He said, "So someone must have murdered him."

At this moment, all of them remained silent.

Morgan also understands the seriousness of this issue.

Bethany Marsh added by saying, "I guess it must be done by his enemy. So who could be? "

A slight disdain flashes in Morgan's eyes.

He had heard some rumours before that the Fire Sword Team didn't even kill bandits. All their rewards and achievements are because of looted items from other teams.

Morgan looked at everyone and asked, "Have you guys heard about that rumor before?"

The word "rumour" struck everyone's mind.

Caleb sucked in a cold breath. He didn't want to believe such an outrageous claim, If it's true then it was clearly a felony.

Regina shakes her head in disbelief and says, "common, isn't it like we haven't looted anyone before? I guess it's the same with the Fire Sword Team."

This girl! Morgan is clearly displeased by her presence here.

Instead of looking at her, Morgan turned towards Caleb and asked, "Caleb, what do you think about that rumor?"

Hearing that, Caleb immediately refuted it by saying, "I don't know. But Morgan, I advise you not to think about those rumors anymore. It's not good to be involved with them."

"Tck! I'm just saying, think about it; if someone is seeking revenge because of their actions, then their current situation is nothing but retribution," Morgan said.

Caleb touched his forehead. He just advised him to not talk about it.

Then Caleb said, "Alright, I think we should help the Fire Sword Team to clear our name first. Before the Crimson Hall competition, it's not wise to offend him, and my family is very clear about this. "

Morgan twitched. He thought, no wonder this guy is passive. Morgan knew about him. Caleb is a strong-headed person. It's not his way of backing down.

Since it's a family decision, no one can say anything.

Bethany and Regina looked at each other. This was the same with their family. They too feel it's good to help Mateo Roth right now.

"Good idea. I agree with your words," Bethany said.

"Yes, we can do as Caleb says," Regina commented.

All three of them were on the same page, only Morgan hesitated a little bit.

But in the end, he too ended up agreeing.

camping site,

10 a.m.

Morgan, Caleb, Bethany, and Regina. All four of them arrived at the camping site together with their teams.

The atmosphere around the campsite turned very strange. The weaker teams left the way for the other four teams to move.

Right now, Mateo is sitting in a chair inside the tent. Four more chairs were placed beside him for the meeting.

And the Fire Sword Team members are standing outside of the tent.

Suddenly, Carla Gill walked inside the tent.

Seeing that, Mateo asked, "Did they arrive?" Carla nodded in response.

"Other than four of them, don't allow anyone inside," Mateo said.

Then Carla walked out of the tent.

At that moment, a small commotion broke out in the camping area. Fire Sword Team members immediately glanced at the entrance.

Four team leaders coming in their direction with their teams.

When four of them walked in closer, Carla told them that only leaders were allowed to enter.

When they heard that, four of them agreed without hesitation.

After the four team leaders stepped inside the camp, the vice captains and other members stood outside.

Inside the tent, Mateo greeted four of them and asked them to sit.

Other than Morgan, everyone responded with a smile on their faces.

Mateo's eyes lit up with surprise upon noticing Morgan's expression.

Then everyone sat down in their seats for discussion.
