Ancient Tears BloodLine

(From MC's Perspective)

Inner area: Insect forest,

After spending so much time walking, I arrived a little bit deeper in the inner area. Because I keep picking up red dots in mind from my surroundings.

Unlike the outer area, now I need to move at snail's pace. Suddenly, I spot a few red dots coming towards my direction.

My senses got alarmed. I quickly crouched down to avoid getting spotted by them. At the same time, I concealed my breath.

These bugs usually don't have good eyesight.

But I can't say for sure, so it's best to hide for now.

The buzz! The buzz!

The swarm of bugs went past me in the blink of an eye. Seeing that they were gone, I breathed a relief.

"Phew!"

"Did I make the right decision to come here?" I muttered to myself.

Everything around me is like an explosive artifact. If I make a simple mistake, I might get exposed to danger.

On top of all of this, these overgrown bushes were tiring me out. Various thoughts come to mind.

Finally, I decided to look for some open land. There must be a place for these bandit groups to rest. A quick glint flashed in my eyes as I made my decision.

Time went by.

I continue to move deeper while avoiding the red dots.

"CLANGGG" "CLANGGG" "CLANGGG"

I heard a clashing sound coming from the front direction. I quickly moved ahead to see. When I saw the situation at the front, it completely horrified me.

"Gulp"

I swallowed my saliva in fear. The bandit groups were fiercely fighting against a swarm of bugs. The bandits' warriors are charging at tiny bugs. They release all sorts of attacks on them.

But what most scared me was that a few of the warriors were completely enveloped in shadow like robes. But through my perception, I clearly saw the truth. The shadowy thing isn't a robe, but rather bugs.

Through my perception, I observed groups of dots covering the warriors. When I continued to watch, I witnessed something unbelievable. It's a pure act of horror.

The warriors were reduced to bones by the swarm of bugs. A shiver ran down my spine.These bugs are not venomous monsters. But it belongs to the most deadly category, like the plant monster.

"Carnivore," I uttered in disbelief.

Though I have double repair strength. But facing carnivore bugs, I really feel clueless right now. As far as I recall, this is the first time I came across a hurdle like this.

Those mosquito pseudo-monsters at mountain Liz are ants compared to these tiny bugs.

Helplessly, I continued to watch the situation.

Atleast these bugs are doing the jobs of bandit-hunting warriors. No wonder the bandit boss has recruited so many warriors under his wings.

It may seem like the count of bandit warriors sounds astounding from outside. But I guess they had to deal with lots of casulalities in this inner area.

Soon, the number of warriors fighting against bugs will continue to reduce. These bugs don't leave anyone alive. After consuming one warrior, they immediately target the next nearby warrior.

My brother tells me to move away from this place. But I knew if I did, it would immediately alert others.

It also involves certain risks. If I choose to fight against these bugs, it's possible to attract surrounding bugs towards me.

I don't have infinite lightning essence to fight against these monsters.

10 minutes later,

All the bandit warriors were reduced to bones. I even saw some of the bugs try to consume it.

I've made my decision to not go deeper anymore. Rather, I'll go sideways in search of open land.

The swarm of bugs quickly left the area in the blink of an eye. "Phew," that was something.

Above,

Mr. Jonathan, who was secretly guarding Zack, was completely impressed.

"Zack has good surviving skills. I wonder who taught him these methods, "Jonathan said to himself.

He saw Zack avoiding danger just like that. It's not an easy skill to learn at all.

He also knew Zack's background. If James really taught him, then it's really something.

Mr. Jonathan knew that, so far, Zack had successfully avoided the dangers. Earlier, Mr. Jonathan sensed multiple groups entering the inner area.

It will be a matter of time before he comes across these people. When it happens, he would like to see what Zack would do.

Below,

Time went on.

One hour later,

As I expected, I finally found the narrow path. After choosing this path, I began to observe the footprints and other small traces. I want to check whether anyone has used this path recently.

Through perception, I noticed this narrow path was not a straight one. It's leading in a zig-zag manner. But my instincts tell me that it will surely lead to some resting spot.

After checking that there were no recent footprints, I walked along this path. I also used my perception to look out for the dangers.

20 minutes later,

A small smile blossemed on my face. I found a medium-sized tent house ahead of me. By looking at its size, it's enough to accommodate twenty warriors.

I used my perception to see whether anyone was staying inside or not. Fortunately, I didn't find any living signals.

When I got closer to the entrance, I found a few deadly traps. Deep pits were covered with deadly poison arrows in disguise.

I wasn't surprised by this. The poison is most deadly in this area. If not treated in time, death is the only end.

After avoiding these traps, I went forward to open the door. Then again, I showed some caution. I didn't step inside immediately.

I walked in after confirming there was no trap inside. I saw there were three rooms and one large kitchen. As I expected, this place must be a resting spot for bandits.

Suddenly, I thought about something.

Is there a secret basement built under this place? It's normal to have secret places like bunkers in dangerous areas.

I'm not expecting anything sophisticated like that. As curiosity rose in my heart, I decided to check this place out.

Other than a few shabby pillows, there was nothing left in the room.

Time went on.

20 minutes later,

I searched every nook and corner of this wooden house. Yet, I didn't come across any place leading to the basement. I felt disappointment in my heart.

Suddenly, several red dots popped up in my mind.

I quickly used the backdoor to walk out. I decided to observe these red dots from this place.

My expression condensed after hearing the sounds of conversations. Bandits? Or Warriors? I turned to look for an exit. But the backyard is covered with vegetation.

I twitched. There was no proper place to hide.

Having no choice, I leaped up to land on the roof gently.

"Have you heard that recently a large number of our warriors entered our territory?" One of the bandits is talking to his team members.

"Harrupmh, these guys came to seek their death." Their bandit boss uttered this in disdain.

There were five bandits in this small group, including their leader. They plan to take a rest here for a while.

My curiosity was piqued after hearing their conversations.

Another warrior asked, "So, who sent them here?"

The bandit boss halted his footsteps for a moment. Seeing that the other four warriors had quickly become alert, they immediately looked around their surroundings.

There is a possibility of a swarm of bugs attacking them. So five of the bandits went into battle mode.

But even after five minutes, there is no danger.

"Am I wrong ?" The bandit boss muttered to himself.

From his years of experience, he had developed the knack of knowing someone's presence around him.

It may seem like an insignificant ability, but in this insect forest, this ability saved him countless times from danger.

He felt a presence nearby when he reached for the door knob. But there were no monsters or bugs around here.

Then he thought of something and opened the door to enter inside. After he walked in, the bandit boss quickly went to check the room.

He thought someone must have stayed inside.

Then he dispelled his thoughts and joined his team members to talk.

The bandit boss recalled the previous conversation.

He said, "I remember, these warriors were sent by the Fire Sword Team."

The atmosphere becomes quiet all of a sudden.

Then suddenly, the oldest bandit in the group burst out in laughter.

"Ha...Ha...Ha..."

The old bandit asked, "Leader, Are you sure? The Fire Sword Team never acted against our bandits. What happened to them now? "

The same questions bugged everyone's mind.

The bandit boss said in disdain, "Their black fist team got annihilated; many teams were dispatched here to search for evidence."

The old Vereran bandit commented, "Despite fooling everyone, they are living comfortably in the city. But we are rotting down here. "

The bandit boss replied, "Okay, leave the topic. Don't you know? It's taboo to talk about them. "

Roof,

My heart is set on storms. These guys are really hiding enough. And they dared to play on both sides.
