Chapter 426 Part One: Night Monster
(From MC's perspective)
Several days later,
The fortified train arrived in iron post city. Unlike last time, I see many people coming and going. Which shows that the situation has changed. And the state of the city is much better compared to better.
After walking out of the train station, I took some time to observe nearby areas. The street shops and the pedestrians walking down the street. Everything looked normal here.
After taking a glance at them. I signaled a nearby cab driver to come here. My first goal is to inspect the insect forest. I hopped inside and the cab moved towards the city gate wall.
On the way, I took a good look at the city below. From the top view, I see several shops doing business. There was no gloomy atmosphere anymore.
Suddenly I thought of something and decided to ask the cab driver. On the way, I inquired about the recent changes in the iron post city.
From his words, the city's economic conditions were drastically improved after the appointment of a new city lord. Unlike before the new city lord seems to be a Trainee Warrior.
Because the bandit issue was resolved. Now there is no threat to the public and the insect forest is not monopolized anymore.
After figuring out the ins and outs, I sighed in relief.
10 minutes later,
The air cab reached the city gate wall. The situation on the ground caught my attention. "This?" My eyes lit up with surprise. From this distance, I see the changes.
A sea of people was waiting outside the gate to enter the wilderness.
The cab driver noticed the expression. He let out a small laugh before saying, "You must be very surprised. The rules were changed now. Anyone can enter the insect forest to earn money."
Hearing that, a quick glint flashed in my eyes.
"It must be the work of the new city lord," I said in my heart. Then the air cab landed on the ground.
After paying the cab fees, I walked out. My appearance didn't cause any waves. Because I know most of the adventurers here were from nearby regions.
Looks like the new rules also made it easier for everyone. I glanced at the crowd. The highest warriors ranged from Special Trainee to Trainee Warrior.
Looking at the scene in front of me. I believe it would take some time to enter. It can't be helped. Shaking my head, I decided to wait.
Time passed in a blink of an eye,
One hour later, I walked into the wilderness after completing the verification. Instead of following the group to the insect forest. I moved away from the adventurer groups and used my flight ability to enter the insect forest.
Swish!
A few minutes later, I reached the outer region. I don't directly barge to the inner area. Because there is some area. I would like to check.
I accessed the map. After knowing the direction, I immediately rushed towards it.
Time passed in a blink of an eye,
I checked all the mysterious places within two hours. Apart from deadly swamps and bugs, there is nothing more valuable in those places.
"It's time to enter the inner area," I mumbled under my breath. Old memories flashed in my eyes. How did I escape from those black insects?
A vague curiosity rose in my heart. I believe my elite power can restrain those monsters and it doesn't matter how mysterious their insect bugs were.
Swish!
I didn't waste any more time. After picking up the location on the map, I flew toward that place.
After several minutes, I crossed the outer area border and entered the space of the inner area. From above I come across many black clouds. I instinctively knew these were groups of deadly bugs
Seeing that my lips curved into an arc. When I tried to move closer to the monster. The swarm of bugs retreated immediately. Now I'm certain that Elite level strength can deter the bugs.
No wonder that elite-level bandit was so rampant in the insect forest. The inner area and the small core were a haven for the elite-level bandit.
Seeing the swarm of bugs, my eyes gleamed with a twinkle. If I want I can easily erase these bugs and get back my revenge. But I feel it is not good to destroy the ecosystem here.
It's better to leave these insect bugs here and continue my business.
After several minutes, I reached one of the dangerous areas marked on the map. In the middle of a dense jungle, there is a big cave structure here.
I looked at it from above. If one looks at it closely one can see there is no entry and exit to the cave structure.
The entire cave structure is protected from outside monsters. Seeing that a quick glint flashed in my eyes. To verify, I circled this cave structure once more.
The cave appears to be going deep underground. Then what's making it more dangerous? A lot of doubts appeared in my mind.
Then I quickly moved into the cave structure. Inside there is only pitch-black darkness. I didn't land on the ground. I used the flight ability to go deep inside.
Though there is no darkness. I used my senses to cover everything. Slowly, I'm going underground. On the way, I find no sign of life.
It puzzles me more. If there is no sign of life, then what's causing danger to adventurers?
Then suddenly, I see the path divided into two. I waste no time choosing. I picked the right one to investigate.
As time went on, I furrowed my eyebrows. Because a bad smell began to attack my nostril. And I have yet to find the source of this smell.
A few minutes later, I sensed the dead end ahead. I began to feel some frustration. Just I want to retreat. I sensed a small throbbing of life.
"Life sign?" My eyes lit up with surprise.
Swish!
I moved and appeared closer to the dead end.
In front of me, there are many eggs. The egg was so small that it was difficult to find it. What is this? Doubt appeared in my heart.
At the same time, I realized something. "Mysterious insect bugs?" I mumbled under my breath. Now I think that it all makes sense. The cave structure is the home for these insect bugs.
After gaining some clarity, I decided to investigate. So I take out the light gadget to illuminate the surroundings. When the light appeared in the dark.
The cave became a lot more visible. Then my gaze swept past everything.
"Hmmm," Suddenly, I felt a vague threat from behind.
Swish!
I disappeared from the spot and retreated backward. I feel something coming towards me.
From this light, I see the appearance of the monster.
For a moment, I adjusted my mentality.
Because the monster looked nastier. I have never seen this monster before. Soon, I guessed something.
It must be native to this cave structure. Seeing that I didn't take initiative to attack. Since there is a threat to me. I want to see the ability of this night monster.
The monster appeared to be a bird species. But from its wings and mouth. I see more resemblance towards the night bats.
Swish! Swish!
Slowly, one by one night monsters arrived right after. The entire path is blocked now. From these few minutes, I conclude that the night monster didn't have the visible ability.
The danger is slowly getting increased. I decided to end this quickly.
Swish!
Next second, I started to run the blood field technique.
Sensing the threat, the group of weird night monsters lets out a scream. Hearing that my eyes gleamed with a twinkle.
The scream ability is also some kind of attack. But with my elite power, I blocked the monster's attack completely.
As the blood field began to spread. It starts to cover the night monster one by one. The terrible scream quieted down suddenly.
As the blood power starts to work. The first night monster is beginning to suffer. The entire blood from the monster's body starts to vaporize.
This field attack continues to attack the other monsters. One by one, the night monster suffered from the attack. But there is one problem.
The blood field technique is not a fast one. It will take some seconds to erase the entire blood.
A couple of seconds later,
Pfff
The first-night monster lost its vitality and the rest of the monsters followed suit one by one.
After a few minutes, the entire path is cleared completely. Seeing that I sighed in relief. There is no threat anymore. But it's a pity, I wasn't able to see the further abilities of the monster.
Swish!
I disappeared from the spot and retreated upwards. A few minutes later, I found myself back in the usual position where the two paths got split.
A quick glint flashed in my eyes. I don't know what lies ahead on this left path.
