Ancient Tears BloodLine - Chapter 1144

Chapter 1144: The ancient voice resurfaced

From MC’s Perspective:

When the dust settled, I saw the remains of the tree monster. The special fruits were nowhere to be seen. It must be fruit to lure the prey.

I broke out in a cold sweat.

Swoosh!

The next second, I didn’t stay here and started moving forward. Once you go deeper, you will find more resources.

As time passed, I found special herbs and fruits. I collected them along the way, even taking the herbs and fruits that were unknown.

I knew the secret land had many ancient herbs and fruits. It’s not easy to find them outside. Just as I reached the inner part of the secret land, I heard the sound of fighting.

I raised my head and saw three people fighting for a treasure. When I saw the treasure in one of the warriors’ hands, my pupils shrank.

It was a glass container filled with red-colored blood, shining with a red light as if it were alive. I didn’t know where they got the treasure, but I felt a deep sense of craving.

“Who is it?”

The warriors sensed my presence. Upon seeing me, their expressions changed. I was from Star University, and they were from the rival, Dark Shadow University.

I didn’t expect to meet them on such a narrow road. The Dark Shadow University had caused great trouble for me; if not for the Main Elders, I wouldn’t have lived.

“Ha… Ha… Ha….”

“We’ve got something more precious than treasure.”

“The Dean has told us that whoever kills Zack Lockwood will receive a powerful inheritance.”

The three warriors spoke one after another.

“Dark Shadow University Dean, huh?” I uttered in a cold tone.

Thunder!

I covered both of my arms in purple lightning. At the same time, the three warriors dashed toward me. One of them had already started using the dark element to attack.

My mouth curved into an arc. In a flash, I appeared in front of one of them and struck his chest. The purple lightning fist tore through his chest and crushed his heart.

The warrior died unwillingly. It happened within seconds. The other two warriors broke out in a cold sweat.

“Lightning Cage!”

The next second, I used the control technique. Powerful purple lightning bolts shot out from my palm. The lightning bolts impressed both of them.

AaaAaahhhhH!

When the warriors tried to escape, the purple lightning bolts struck their bodies one by one. The abnormal purple lightning electrocuted them.

Both of them fell to the ground with loud screams. Without giving them any more chances, I struck their hearts one by one.

The three Dark Shadow University warriors died within a few minutes. Then my gaze fell on the glass bottle that contained the red shining blood. I took the bottle and stored it inside the storage ring.

Then I started to go through their storage rings. Seeing that each one was filled with treasures, I took a sharp breath.

I couldn’t help but wonder whether they had landed near any treasure land. Then I collected all of their storage rings into mine.

Swoosh!

I raised my head and started going deeper into the inner part of the secret land. Hereafter, the dangers will be higher.

At the same time, the resources will be richer as well.

Not long after, I found another treasure tree. But this time I felt it was a genuine tree because my bones were craving for it.

Swoosh!

In a flash, I appeared in front of the red tree. Then I used my perception to check the area.

Boom!

The ground exploded. The next second, a 10ft Class-9 Red Salamander Monster appeared in front of me.

Seeing that, I heaved a sigh of relief. With this, I could confirm that the treasure fruit was real.

The red Salamander spit red fire the next second. It shot toward me.

Boom!

I evaded the attack by using the movement technique. The next second, I bolted toward the monster.

In a flash, I appeared above the giant salamander monster’s head.

“Lightning Drop!”

A thick purple lightning ball released from my palm. The purple lightning streaked toward the target and immediately landed on the head of the salamander monster.

Boom!

The head of the salamander exploded, spraying blood and bone fragments on the ground. With that, the life of the salamander monster slipped away. It dropped dead on the ground.

I landed and tried to locate the monster core. After finding it, I stored it inside the storage ring.

Then my gaze turned toward the scorching red fruit hanging from the tree. I immediately picked all of them before storing them.

Then I looked around the area before deciding to leave. I thought it would be good if I came across lightning resources.

Swoosh!

I pushed down the thoughts before continuing deeper. It didn’t take long for another monster to appear, but its strength was Class-8.

I unsheathed my sword with lightning speed and slashed at the beast.

Pfff!

The four-legged beast was cleaved in two and dropped to the ground. I glanced at the beast before continuing my journey. The Class-8 monster core was not useful to me.

While moving forward, I couldn’t help but think of the others. They must be going toward the forbidden places to try their luck.

I wanted to try as well, but there was already something in my body.

“Are you thinking about me?” a neither male nor female voice sounded.

Hearing that, I froze on the spot like a statue. How long had it been since I heard this voice? Back at the Outer Post 1012. Since then, I have traveled so far to come here.

“I have given you the task to upgrade your physique. The blood bones have helped you, but you are not there yet. This place has resources to upgrade your physique.”

“If you can complete your physique upgrade, then you will be able to accept the inheritance. You have a chance to become a Black Mark Warrior here in this secret land,” the ancient voice said before going to sleep.
