I'm going to visit Marsh City's monster zone. This particular monster zone takes me back to memory lane.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I remember going there for the first time after I arrived in this red city. So a vague curiosity rose in my heart. At that time I was a rookie afraid of going deeper into the woods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time I must stay in the middle of the core area. A quick glint flashed in my eyes. After gaining some clarity, I boarded the air cab to go to the train station.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cab driver this time is an ordinary warrior. After taking a glance at him, I sat back in a relaxed manner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon the cab reached the station a few minutes later. I used a mask to cover my face as usual. So there is no chance for others to recognize me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After paying the fees, I stride towards the entrance. My perception is not what it used to be. The range has increased many times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before entering inside, I think it's better to check out something. I activated my perceptual ability and spread it around the area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon the movements of people appeared in my mind. After a couple of seconds, my mouth rises slightly. I noticed the presence of many Special Trainee Warriors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How come such a small city like ours got so many Special Trainee warriors? I feel a little strange inside. Then shaking my head, I walked up to the entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There is no point in exposing myself right now. There is still some time before the start of the Crimson Hall match. Then after entering inside, I walked past the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Last night, I told someone to come and see me. I wonder whether she will accept my request or not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>10 minutes later,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When I'm waiting for my train to Marsh City. A beautiful figure appeared before me. Her white mask failed to cover her identity. I quickly see through her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maria Frazier,\" I said in my heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before I could say anything she sat beside me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zack, is that you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why can't I sense your cultivation base?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maria Frazier said in a low voice. But the excitement in her voice can be seen clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that my eyes gleamed with a twinkle. \"Trainee Warrior,\" My lips curved into a gentle arc.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looks like the Frazier Clan heavily invested in her. I remember last time her cultivation was weak. But still, it can't save her from the dangers waiting in Odyssey Monster Zone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maria, are you going to participate in Crimson Hall's match?\" I asked. I know the truth but I want to hear from her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maria gave a slight pause before carefully observing Zack. She wondered what happened. Is this related to recent turmoil?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her heart was not calm. She is aware of the incident that happened in Hansen Campus. The members from Crimson Hall have crossed the bottom line this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the City Lord seems to be supporting the Crimson Hall members. Then she solemnly nodded her head in response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that I let out a deep sigh. I said, \"Maria, you are a good friend of mine. So don't go to the Crimson Hall's competition.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A surprise flashed in Maria's eyes. She couldn't help but remember her father's recent behaviors. He seems to be very bothered about something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every time she asked about it. Her father denies anything wrong. Now looking at Zack. She feels her intuition is correct.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She asked, \"Zack, what is it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you know something?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I nodded my head and told about the odyssey monster zone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, Maria's face is calm. But soon her face becomes discolored instantly and her jade white hands start trembling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How is it possible?\" After some seconds, she exclaimed in surprise. She knows how her clan decided to bet everything on her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's impossible to take a step back. Suddenly the image of her father comes to her mind. \"No wonder my father looked dispirited,\" she bit her lips in worry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the myriad of expressions of her. I sighed inwardly. The information is shocking even for an Elite level warrior like me. She just entered the Trainee Warrior realm not long ago. So I can understand her fluctuations in mood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few minutes later,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A firm determination appeared on her face. She shook her head and answered,\" Sorry, Zack. I can't go back. I have to join one of those academies.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I see a firm look in her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sigh\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I let out a deep sigh. Her family is not right. Suddenly, I remember Elder Thornton's words from some time ago. The Frazier clan here is just a side branch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The real roots lie somewhere. Then I observed her with a different gaze. She has a burden like everyone else on her shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is better to support her than to convince her to quit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, I'll help you. Just ask your clan to prepare a few more trump cards,\" I said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apart from her, there is one more girl. I wonder what happened to her. She disappeared right after joining Hansen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I have this gut feeling that I will meet her soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don't know why? Maria let go of her hanging heart. Zack's words gave a sense of confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But still, the dangers awaiting there are real. She decided to find some trump cards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she suddenly asked, \"Are you going to the monster zone?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I nodded in response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly the announcement is made at this point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that, I got up from the seat and was ready to board.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maria made up her mind to join as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that I agreed to her request. Then she quickly booked the tickets. The train to Marsh city is empty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to the availability of frequent trains, crowding and rushing can be avoided.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a few minutes, we boarded the train. The train journey allows us to discuss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I wanted to know about Crimson Hall. The Frazier Clan seems to have some contact with the City Lord.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the way, I inquired about many things. Especially the name of the Crimson Hall members. I can't forget their names. They had participated in the Star Tower as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My expression turned gloomy for a second. Looks like it is not that easy to get revenge. Among the members some of them were innocent. Especially the girls, they even took initiative to warn me last time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I calmed down a few seconds later. I also learn about City Lord's contact with Maria's father. It seems the City Lord is simply using the Frazier Clan's head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After figuring out the ins and outs, I decided to tell Jonathan later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time passed in a blink of an eye,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several hours later, the train reached Marsh City. We stepped out of the train and quickly headed towards the monster zone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The monster zone is close to the city. So we quickly reached the spot without stopping anywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, the huge wall came into view. It feels like a deja vu. I remember venturing into the woods alone last time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then we quickly went towards the office to register my name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After registering the name, we quickly entered inside. The guards didn't stop us. When we entered inside, I found the area didn't change a bit at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially the narrow path which leads to the inner area. Then I lead her to the inner area. Only in the inner area, we can come across some monsters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maria silently followed from behind. She wasn't able to see through his cultivation base. But she feels Zack's strength is unfathomable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon the duo walked past the hurdles along the way. The overgrown bushes were quickly cleared by two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swish!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A wild boar appears in front of me. Seeing that I signaled Maria to deal with it. The wild boar monster can be dealt with by elite-level coercion alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So I decided to stand back and relax.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maria didn't waste any more time. She hurriedly leaped forward to attack the monster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time passed in a blink of an eye,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the way, Maria cleared all low-level monsters without much effort. Seeing that, a quick glint flashed in my eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zack, why didn't you start attacking from now on?\" Maria asked while blinking her big eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She noticed Zack's laid-back style. Which annoyed her greatly. She wants to witness Zack's strength from her own eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that I raised my eyebrows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swish!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A wind wolf appeared in the vicinity. Seeing that my lips curved into a gentle arc. I looked at her before disappearing from the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swish!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This speed,\" Maria widened her eyes in disbelief. She didn't even find the silhouette.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a blink of an eye, I appeared above the monster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oops!\" I noticed that I used my flight ability unconsciously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I landed on the ground in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wind wolf scared sh!t. It's a mere Class 2 Monster. I raise my palm to slap it away casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pfff!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wind wolf turned into blood mist the next second.\u003C\u002Fp>",1537,"2026-06-05T15:56:39.138Z",1,"novelbin.me","0464eb9b98c4649153aed6633cf0d6e7574556417e2a2218cd83d4f8ca3f3176","ancient-tears-bloodline-chapter-425","ancient-tears-bloodline-chapter-423",1498,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fancient-tears-bloodline-cover.jpg"]
