Seeing that, I confirmed Eric must have come from here. Other than that there is no other entrance\u002Fexit to this underground chamber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The narrow hole is like another secret path that leads to the surface. My eyes gleamed with a twinkle. I already searched the nook and corner of this place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are no more books and other experimental stuff. Every other lab equipment got eroded over time. Finally, I decided to leave. Before leaving there is one more thing to take care of.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I can't leave the corpse here. There is a mutated forest ahead. It's better to dump the corpse there. After figuring it out, I picked up the cold corpse and moved toward the narrow hole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few minutes later,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I got back to the surface. My gaze turned towards the ruin. I don't know what is happening out there. But in a few hours, the sun is going to rise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I hope that monster activity will decrease over time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swish!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I disappeared from the spot and dragged the corpse towards the mutated forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wooowwww,\" I let out an excited roar. The flight ability is more amazing than I had imagined. It gives me an adrenaline rush.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a blink of an eye, I reached the mutated forest. I quickly slowed down my movement. Though I became an Elite warrior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I'm not going to underestimate the mutated forest for a moment. Even Elder Compton was surprised by recent changes here. My expression turned solemn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I entered the forest and dropped the body under a giant shade tree. I took a final glance at the smashed corpse of Eric Lloyd before disappearing from the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few minutes later,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I arrived back at my previous location. In mid-air, my eyes were scanning the surroundings. I spread my perception around here. This time the range of my perceptual ability is increased after a successful breakthrough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After seeing that, there are no monsters in this vicinity. I decided to rescue my teammates. And it's time to test my new powers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a few minutes, I reached the ruin area 2. The damage done was beyond my belief. After taking a glance at them, I looked for monsters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My eyes spotted a few injured Class-3 Monsters. But they seemed to be injured from the Class-5 Monster's appearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shaking my head, my eyes started to look for the big fish.\"Where is the Class-5 Monster?\" I muttered to myself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"RoooaaarrR\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A terrible sound reached my ears. After hearing that, I head towards the source. On the way, I realized the sound was coming from area 3.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A trace of apprehension appeared in my eyes. Ruin area 3 is an unexplored region. Even the researchers find it hard to enter this particular ruin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What's hiding in this place?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I increased my speed slightly. Soon I reached the spot. But I will never forget this scene in my life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two Class-5 Monsters trying to reach the surface from the ground. And the ground appeared to be the site of ruin area 3.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The intelligence of Class-5 Monster is quite developed. So that's why the tussle is happening between these two monsters?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The appearance of the monsters on this site is unexpected. A lot of pus is released from the monster's pores.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which made me even more disgusted. The next moment, I took the black sword from the storage space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long time, I'm going to use my lightning technique in the open area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sword Divide,\" I gripped the sword and started to charge it. A thick lightning essence is absorbed by the sword in a blink of an eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments later, I released the lightning shot at one of the monster's heads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A purple beam of energy piece through the air. The appearance of a purple beam illuminates the sky completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a blink of an eye, the attack reached the monster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The attack was so fast that a lightning beam pierced the head of the monster in one shot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rrroooaaarrr\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another terrible sound resonated in the area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A wide hole appears at the center of the monster's head. A lot of yellow pus spilled from the monster's head. Seeing that other Class-5 Monsters got alerted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the other one makes a move against me. I charged the black sword again. I was even surprised by the power of lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After reaching the Elite, I see a clear difference. Now the lightning seems to be more destructive and overbearing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Average monsters won't be able to withstand the lightning power. But this monster seems to be a Peak one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruin Area: 2\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pfff\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ricardo Compton coughed up blood. The surrounding landscapes were destroyed. Earlier abandoned structures were nowhere to be seen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything was decimated by the rampage of the Class 5 Monster. The sunlight is yet to come. Now the ruin site is surrounded by smoke and debris. Even smoke covered the sky completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ricardo Compton slowly adjusted himself before collecting the thoughts. He was able to injure the Class-5 monster by overdrawing his energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right now, the meridians inside his body were slightly damaged. Only after some recuperation, he is able to recover.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that facility is not possible here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What happened to them?\" Compton muttered to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To provide safe cover to his team. He had confronted the monster alone. The appearance of the Class-5 Monster caught off guard everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he feels that the appearance of the monster is a coincidence. It won't happen again. His team members might have escaped from the commotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he feels everything is okay right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"RrroooarrrR,\" a deafening scream reached his ears all of a sudden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compton's face was discolored. The nightmare started to appear again. \"How is this possible?\" He grumbled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The vibration from the sound is no less than that of a Class 5 Monster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have to move out from here,\" Ricardo Compton tried to get up. He is in no shape to fight against the monster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The changes in this area were beyond his control. At first, he thought the mutated forest had undergone some changes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it looks like even the ruined areas were no different. Unless a high-rank warrior arrives here. It's impossible to handle the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ricardo Compton managed to drag his body away from this debris.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the monster's roar was getting near. He used his flight ability to move in mid-air. Slowly, he reached the ruin area 1. When he arrived back at the familiar spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at the surroundings. Everything has changed. Sighing, he moved towards the base camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>1 hour later,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took his time to reach the base camp. But there is no sign of a tent here. The grounds have massive cracks which lead deep inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he was lost in thoughts. He heard some voices.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Leader\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From behind the massive boulder. Valerie Lyons, Kara Robles, and Terrel Boyd walked out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swish!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, he appeared before them. Upon seeing them alright, Ricardo Compton felt relieved. But at the same time, his eyes searched for one more person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Valerie Lyons and Kara Robles looked at each other. Valerie understood that the leader was looking for Zack Lockwood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they separated some time ago. After fleeing from the monster, fortunately, the three of them managed to regroup together. But they didn't find a trace of Zack Lockwood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Valerie Lyons lowered her head in shame. In her opinion, Zack must have perished from the monster's attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even for them, a Trainee Warrior. The situation had become a do or die situation a few hours ago. But Zack is a mere Special Trainee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There is no way to escape. This is the same thought in everyone's mind. But no one dares to speak in front of the leader.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compton's eyes turned cold. From their expressions alone he already guessed something. Zack was left alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at them with a stern gaze for a moment. Before letting out a deep sigh. The situation was so dire that he can't blame anyone else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew many Class-3 Monsters and few Class-4 Monsters razed the ruin to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The atmosphere turned a bit solemn for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A couple of seconds later,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ricardo Compton gained some clarity. \"Alright, this place is not suitable for us to stay anymore. There is some sign of Class-5 Monsters back in the ruin,\" He said in a solemn tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\" Kara Robles exclaimed in a trembling voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Terrell Boyd gulped his saliva in fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Valerie Lyons' face is also not good-looking either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compton made up his mind to search for Zack before quitting the exploration. He knows his friend Thornton won't spare him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the environment here is posing a threat to Elite level warriors. So in the end he can only say bad luck for Zack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When it comes to the other two, Eric Lloyd and Garrett Marsh. He doesn't care about them. When the commotion happened, those two slipped away first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which is already unforgivable in his opinion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, I'm going to search for Zack. You guys can stay here,\" After saying that Compton disappeared from the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three of them didn't have any other choice other than to wait for their leader to come back.\u003C\u002Fp>",1561,"2026-06-05T15:56:39.138Z",1,"novelbin.me","2b3e0f7ef7003377bf46afc2e49967731f4659408e0d054f460255ca9b6c2216","ancient-tears-bloodline-chapter-418","ancient-tears-bloodline-chapter-416",1498,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fancient-tears-bloodline-cover.jpg"]
