Chapter 330 Survival Trial?
Chapter 330 Survival Trial?
Crimson Hall,
A few days ago,
Grand Elder Chris successfully signed a contract with Odyssey Monster Zone's small alliance faction.
At first he had two minds about it, whether to agree with First Elder Casey's plan or not.
But then, later, realising that those people from the alliance faction were also looking forward to this deal, Grand Elder Chris made up his mind to sign the contract.
He thought the alliance faction's people were too greedy. Grand Elder Chris is finally convinced that it's in Crimson Hall's interest to successfully conduct the event and not anger those academy recruiters.
So with that, the contract signing has been done. Now it's up to the Crimson Hall officials to decide the next course of action.
Inside First Elder Casey's cabin,
First Elder Casey is working behind his desk. Now that the deal has been made with the alliance faction, He is working on other plans. In particular, what types of monsters should be selected for the trials?
A huge projection screen appeared above the desk. On that screen, a list of various monsters that inhabit the Odyssey Monster Zone is displayed.
Some of the monsters were extremely vicious. Ranging from tree monsters, poison misamic monsters, to normal terrian monsters,
The island of Odyssey Monster Zone is extremely huge. He wants to utilize every space. In a normal monster zone, the layout is classified into three areas: outer area, inner area, and last core area.
This clear distinction helps warriors to avoid danger and to successfully hunt. But the situation is not the same with the Odyssey Monster Zone.
The previous layouts don't apply at all. First Elder Casey's gaze was set on the map displayed on the screen. He raised his eyebrows in surprise.
At Odyssey Monster Zone, each area is special. Every special area is like the core area of a monster zone. For example, the Tree Monster experimental area on the island can be considered as a core area.
The Tree Monster area is located in the west part of the island. Then First Elder Casey looked at the other areas. The north of the area has a wide lake. When he looked at the lake, he remembered the Piranah monsters.
The Pirah monsters normally have a bloodthirsty nature. But the monsters in the lake were obviously experimented on. He couldn't predict how the blood-thirsty nature of the monster had changed so far.
He suspects that the bloodthirsty nature of Piranah must have gone one step ahead. If anyone steps into the lake, these piranahs will tear off their bodies.
After glancing at the lake, he focused his attention on other areas of the map. At the centre of the island, it's the nest of bloodsucking rats. These bloodsucking rats occupied a small part of the area.
This small part of the land is filled with lush green vegetation. The warriors wouldn't be able to find out from which hole the bloodsucking rats might pop up.
First Elder Casey is most optimistic about the bloodthirsty rats. He feels that warriors might identify other special areas in advance. But this bloodsucking rat special area is difficult to find.
Imagining the pile of dead corpses A small smile rose on his face. Next, he concentrated on the east part of the island. The eastern part of the island is occupied by miasmic forests.
Images of miasmic forests are displayed on the screen. He has no doubt this miasmic forest is another dreadful area. Other than poison-attributed monsters, you can't find any other monsters in the miasmic area.
Even for Peak Trainee Warriors, this miasmic forest is difficult to handle. They have to take poison repelling pills before venturing into the misamic forest.
And that pill has limitations. It only works for two hours, then warriors have to consume another pill. He didn't know this place also posed a terrible challenge to warrios below Trainee Warrior level.
First Elder Casey then observed the other areas. A small gap caught his eyes. It's a small swamp occupied by crock monsters and snake monsters. This small swamp occupied a small part of land between the bloodsucking rats' area and the tree monster area.
Finally, he set his gaze on the south part of the island, which is also the entrance. After reading the details about the south part of the island, "This south part looks like a normal monster zone," he said to himself.
This area is occupied by wolves, hyenas, snakes, and a few other terrain class monsters. There are also a few steep hills. At the feet of the hills, a few ape colonies can be seen.
With that, he finished reading about the monster zone. Various plans run in his mind. First Elder Casey muttered, "Is that enough? Or should I place more monsters there? "
He is quite satisfied with the Odyssey Monster Zone. He said to himself, "I have to say it's the most dangerous monster zone I have seen" because he realised there was no elemental advantage for warriors whatsoever.
If it were a fire elemental warrior, he would face serious challenges in the swamp area and lake area. So he feels every warrior will have to face some type of challenge.
Then he made up his mind to not add anything to this island. The mosnters that lived there were already dangerous enough to wipe out the warriors. So he begins to think about the rules.
At first, he thought about continuing the previous year's rule. by ranking those warriors who got the highest number of monster cores. It would be fine if it were any other monster.
To collect more monster cores, warriors have to go a little deeper into the inner area. Not only is hunting, killing and looting allowed.
But here in the Odyssey Monster Zone, forget about hunting. The Warriors first need to survive successfully here. So, he thought about conducting the event as a survival trial.
For this survival trial, he decided to hold it for weeks. "Let's select those warriors who were alive after a week." He said to himself.
It is the first screening. For the second screening, warriors' aptitude and their elements need to be checked. These two screenings are enough to select talented warriors.
Then why not conduct the aptitude event first, and the survival event later? Because he still holds a small grudge in his heart against those alliance faction officials.
Though the contract was signed. He is quite displeased by their attitude. He knows those factions will obviously send talented warriors to this event. They hope that their warriors will be selected by academies.
Since he knew their calculation, he wouldn't let it happen. First Elder Casey thought that with this plan, the majority of their warriors were sure to die. As a result, their calculation would end in vain.
He can't wait to watch their expressions at that time. No matter what, this event is beneficial to Crimson Hall. After figuring out everything, he was pleased with the current layout of the event.
He currently needs Grand Elder Chris's permission to finalise this plan. Then he stood up from his seat and planned to visit the courtyard of Grand Elder at the back of the mountain.
After walking out of his cabin, he immediately headed towards the exit. While on the way, he felt numerous eyes on me. He sneered inside by feeling their motives: "These people can't wait to learn about the event."
He is quite annoyed by the calls lately. Everyone wants to know about the event first hand. Even though he owed someone previously, he didn't compromise when it came to the crimson hall event.
He thought it'd be best to keep it as mysterious as possible. The fewer people knew about the event, the greater the benefits. In particular, he doesn't want his plan to be known by alliance factions.
After dispelling these thoughts from his mind, he arrived at the entrance of the courtyard. He had already informed the Grand Elder about his arrival.
"Creak," the door opens.
After stepping inside, he directly walked towards the building. Soon he arrived in front of the gate. He didn't enter inside, rather he waited for him.
Next, Grand Elde Chris walked out of the room after opening the door. When he sees Casey, he invites him to take a seat.
In the courtyard, there is a table and chairs for visitors. Both of them sat opposite to each other.
Grand Elder Chris is surprised to see him. It's not even a few days since the signing of the contract. He hadn't expected Casey to visit him sooner.
Grand Elder Chris asked, "What happened?" Is there any new trouble? "
First Elder Grand Elder denied by shaking his head and answered, "Grand Elder, I finalised the plan for the event."
"Oh!" Grand Elder Chris is taken back. Then he waited for Casey to answer.
First Elder Casey added further, "The Crimson Hall's event, this time it's going to be a survival event." After saying that, he begins to explain his plan.
Grand Elder Chris obviously knew about Odyssey Monster Zone. Before signing the contract, he learned about it. After signing the contract, he expected Casey to make some changes to it. because that place is extremely dangerous.
But now his expression has turned a bit solemn. Because in Casey's plan, he didn't see any changes.
