Ancient Tears BloodLine

(From MC Perspective)

I observed the red powder for a while. Then I throw it towards the wet swamp. I already opened the cork, soon the powder will spread outside. It will be the time when nearby monsters start to go crazy.

Seeing the bottle floating on the swamp water. I chose to hide behind the tree. It's not good to be exposed directly.

Sometimes later,

The red power begins to spread around the swamps. Soon, I heard a rustling sound. This is the same sound I heard a while ago.

"What is it?" I muttered to myself.

I knew this must be the sound raised by Monster. But I couldn't guess what type it was. There are a lot of swamp monsters. It's hard to distinguish some sounds.

Sure, Book knowledge is important but Field knowledge is something else.

As the red powder spreads out completely, one by one monsters begin to smell the powder. The monster closes in on Zack. It went mad smelling the monster attacking powder.action

Suddenly, It swam towards the source.

Just as I was pondering, I caught the glimpse of the monster.

"Dark Tooth Crocodile." I said.

Its fluctuations reveal its strength. By probing it, I realized it's a Class 2 Monster. Then I probed the surrounding area with perception.

I don't want to see any unwanted guests popping up suddenly. After doing some probing, I sighed in relief as I found no blue dots and red dots around the surrounding area.

Suddenly, I sensed a threat from the Dark Tooth Crocodile.

"Looks like it realizes the red powder is something to do with me." I muttered, it must be due to the lingering smell around me.

I held my black sword without minding it. Earlier, I wanted to test my double repair strength. But these monsters were not suitable for it.

The Croc Monster speeds up fast towards Zack.

Seeing the Monster's intention, I ran lightning phantom technique in an instant.

"Wiz" the sound of purple lightning resonates in the area.

Like a zig zag, I moved around the monster and made a heavy slash at its back.

The Crocs Monster halted its speed seeing the enemy had disappeared.

"Clang" the blade made a sound as it touched the hard rock scales at its back.

But unfortunately the blade failed to make a deep cut.

Seeing the small injury at its back, I wasn't surprised. "As expected of Crock Monsters. Not only their scales, their entire exoskeleton is a hardened one." I mumbled under my breath.

"Roar" the Crock Monster roared in anger. Even Though it's a slight injury, it angered the Croc Monster.

Sensing the enemy is standing behind its back. It used its giant tail to whip at him.

The sudden movement caught Zack off guard.

"Damn it!" I muttered.

"Bang"

The giant tail made a collision with the black blade. The pure force made Zack stagger backwards.

It's really a textbook move, yet it still caught me off guard. Luckily, I held my sword to block it in time."What a terrible strength?" I muttered by looking at the monster.

The Crock Monster opened its mouth to bite Zack. Its entire razor sharp black teeth were clearly visible to eyes. One of the distinguishing features of the monster is its teeth.

Unlike other monsters this crock monster has black teeth. Which really gives me chills. Seeing its provocation, I smiled back.

I held the sword with both of my hands and dashed towards it.

I leaped and made another cleave at its back. This time it's precisely at the same spot. I can easily end its life with a lightning move. But I want to practise, this is a perfect opportunity to use my lightning phantom technique.

The Crock Monster flustered, it hadn't expected the enemy to disappear again. It roared back and wags its huge tail heavily.

At this time, I made the blade to deepen the injury. Unlike last time, I made a heavy cleavage at the injury.

The blade tears through old injury as expected.

Feeling the pain the monster made a fanatic roar. It's rollover sideways due to pain. Listening to Croc Monster's roar, the nearby monsters flee away in fear.

Despite the attraction of red powder, some weak monsters immediately fled after the roar.

Seeing the Monster's rolling sideways, I ponder. In order to improve lightning phantom technique further. I need to get closer. If it makes any sudden movement, I can use the lightning phantom technique to move around.

Time progresses,

As I continue to hack around the monster, the Monster's vitality begin to slip away. Sometimes later, the monster dropped dead.

I hacked the Crock Monster to retrieve the Monster Core. Talking about the monster core, this Crock Monster is earth attributed one. This monster core is beneficial for those with earth elements.

After glancing at it once again, I stuffed it into my storage ring. Then I placed the severed body parts in the container. Then I moved away from the spot after cleaning the traces.

Fortunately, no one came to disturb me. Because of it, I gained little insight into lightning phantom technique.

Unlike other elements, the lightning element is destructive in nature but it also has a speed attribute.

If I can use the sudden burst of lightning power to extend the speed further, then it will be good.

I looked around and found that it's not the right place to try. These overgrown vegetation will hinder my movements.

Then I decided to go further. At this time I didn't go towards the side. I decided to go towards the core area.

Time progresses,

On the way, I came across a few adventure teams. But I avoided them early with perception. The vegetation seems to denser further as I venture inside the inner area.

In one hour, it will be evening time.

Camping at core area at night is no less than the sucidal attack. Inorder to make sure, I check the map again.

The map is not a detailed one, it had details noted by the several veteran adventurers. It is very useful in recognising various terrain around here.

After glancing at the map again, I made a decision to camp around here. Then I will continue my journey by tomorrow morning.
