Chapter 407 Part One: Recovering From The Exhaustion

(From MC's perspective)

Trunulesia Forest,

After killing the monster on my side, I looked at others. When my gaze met the eyes of the vice leader, l revealed a small smile on my face. She was shocked to see my actual strength.

But I was glad in my heart. At least hereafter, they won't look at me with contempt. After slightly nodding at her, I dashed to help others.

Valerie Lyons was exhausted. But after seeing Zack's sprinting, she doesn't know whether to laugh or cry. She had misjudged the person.

Not only her everyone in the team has underestimated the new team member, Zack Lockwood. But after this battle, everyone's opinion will change. Then dispelling the thoughts, Valerie went forward to help others like Zack Lockwood.

Time passed,

After a few hours, Ricardo Compton successfully ended the life of the last monster. With that, the battle has also come to an end.

Though the exploration team have won the battle. But they greatly exhausted their strength. Especially, Ricardo almost ended up using half of the essence.

Realizing that, he furrowed his eyes in displeasure. Their journey was getting delayed. if this goes on, they will have to spend the night time here.

Ricardo Compton instructed his team, "Let's leave this place as soon as possible." He also caught the auras of some monsters not far away from here.

Before this place gets swarmed by monsters, he decided to leave with the team.

Everyone moved their exhausted body again.

Garrett Marsh asked, "Hey, newcomer. How are you holding up?"

Hearing that, a strange light flashed into my eyes. I saw the expression of Garrett Marsh. This time there is no arrogance on his face. Looks like he finally acknowledged my strength of mine.

Then I said with a smile, "I'm fine Mr Garrett."

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

"You can call me brother. With your strength it will be a matter of time before you surpass us," Garrett said with a laugh.

His voice was not so loud but still, it attracted the attention of others. Except for Erik Lloyd, others looked at Zack with a hint of approval in their eyes.

No way, it is not easy to survive in this place. Especially, to deal with mutated monsters. You must be a talented warrior. Otherwise, you will die in this place.

Feeling the respect from everyone's eyes, I sighed inwardly. Finally, the gap between the team members and me has reduced a lot. There is no more alienation. But I don't know what is going on inside Erik Lloyd's mind.

My eyes gleamed with a twinkle. But anyway, since I got the approval of others. I don't think Erik will act rashly. They don't know that I'm not a Trainee Warrior but a Peak level- Special Trainee.

This news will subvert this cognition. But I don't want to expose my strength yet.

Time passed,

After crossing several hurdles along the way, we finally reached the border of the trunulesia forest.

By the time we crossed the border. It was already nighttime. The team leader decided to spend the night time here. It's nighttime, we can't go and look for the ruins yet.

It's better to take rest and replenish our energy.

Everyone had set up their tent, including the leader Compton.

Soon the 6 tents can be seen under the night light.

Inside the tent,

I sat cross-legged and began to ponder my next course of action. Fortunately, Erik Lloyd didn't cause any problems. But I have a nagging feeling in my heart that Erik Lloyd is looking for an opportunity.

Well, this feeling can't be helped. If he has any plan like that, I still got enough time to kill him. After gaining some clarity, I began to cultivate.

In today's battle, except me. Everyone had released their elemental attack. Which raised some eyebrows. For that, I can only put up an act and say that monsters were weak.

But it will be hard to follow the same method in future. It will be fine as long as I can kill the monster with brute force. Once I come across strong monsters like level 4, then it will be disastrous for me.

Even, the early class-4 monsters can't be underestimated here. The mutated energy made the monsters fight across the ranks. Which is a terrible feeling. But I have to say, thanks to Elder Compton's quick thinking.

We were finally able to leave the forest late at night.

Looking in the forest's direction, I muttered, "Otherwise, you will never know what will you face at night time."

This solemn feeling brings me despair at the same time some excitement. Despair due to the various unknown inside the forest. And excitement due to the combat experience, I will gain after this trip.

Then I looked straight, where a large and luxurious tent was set up. It was the camp of Elder Compton. Now the five tents were arranged in a circle, having the leader's tent in middle.

This is also because elite warriors' senses were greater than Peak Warrior's. Elder Compton can easily sense the threat, so I with perceptual ability.

Dispelling the unnecessary thoughts, I think about the pressing issue. So far Elder Compton hasn't talked about the ruins. As if he was already overwhelmed by seeing the changes in the trunulesia forest during day time.

I don't know what happened at the ruin's site. It's reasonable that he is tight-lipped about it. The next second, a trace of doubt rose in my heart.

Is that ruin site safe? What will we do? If that place is also trespassed by the mutated monsters. I sucked cold breath when I thought about it.

The more think about it, the more it seems possible to me. No wonder, he hasn't said anything. If my assumption is true then, we will have to face another bloody fight in the morning.

Thinking about it, I decided to immerse myself in cultivation without further ado. My lightning essence has no consumption. But I feel tiredness all over my body.

Then I used a blood essence pill to recover my body strength.
