(From MC's perspective)

Trunulesia Forest,

After ten minutes, Compton and his group arrived in front of a large shade tree to take some rest. Except for Compton, everyone collapsed on the ground to gasp for some breath.

All of them escaped from that place at full speed. None of them wants to encounter similar situations like the worm monster.

On the other hand, I sighed in relief. After looking at everyone's expressions, I realised that none of them had expected this situation to turn out like this. It was an unprecedented one.

This situation here is completely different from the Insect forest. You will never know when the mutated monsters will appear in front of you. "Are there any elite-level monsters in this forest?" I muttered to myself.

Because the appearance of the worm monster had already blown away my mind. I don't know what different types of monsters dwell in this forest.

Various thoughts occupied my mind.

I'm sure about one thing. It won't be easy to cross this forest in day time anymore. Then everyone's eyes fell on Elder Compton.

"Leader, what is happening?" Erik Lloyd shouted at the leader. He had completely lost his patience. The appearance mutated class 3 monster made him frightened already.

When the rest of them heard his words, none of them stopped him from lashing out. Because they can understand the situation. Mutated monster is stronger than normal class monsters.

Even if they are Peak Trainee Warriors, they are not confident enough to take down the Class 3 Peak mutated monsters.

At the same time, I wrinkled my eyebrows in displeasure. This Erik Lloyd is creating scenes unnecessarily. Elder Compton is a Mid-level, Elite Warrior.

So forget about Class 3, he can even easily take down Class 4 level Monsters.

Then I looked at Elder Compton. He seems to be pondering something else.

On the other hand, Compton is keeping an eye on the surrounding. He spread his elite-level sense to cover the area.

Previously the worm monster surprised him by appearing from the ground below. So he doesn't want to encounter a similar situation again.

When he heard Erik's words, his eyes flashed into a cold glint. Because like everyone else, he was also surprised by the change in the situation here. So he feels Erik's antics were too much.

Then he proceeds to think about the next course of action.

On the other hand, I watched everyone's expression begin to have changes. Especially after seeing elder Compton's silence. I can see veins popping up on Erik's forehead.

This guy even dares offend an elite-level warrior. I don't know whether he is stupid or not. When I was observing everyone's expressions.

I heard a faint howling sound from from distance. For a moment, I didn't take it seriously. But when I heard a similar sound a second time. I decided to use my perceptual ability around me.historical

The next second, I spread my sense around the surroundings. An area of more than 25 meters came into my view. When I heard the sound for the third time, I followed the direction.

Then I saw the group of black jackals. For a moment, I misunderstood them as hyenas. But looking at the body structure. I realised they were jackals. And I don't know the exact numbers in the group.

The jackals are in black due to mutation.

From the group, I sensed four strong and scary auras. Even stronger than mine. I have a vague feeling that they are Class 4 Monsters similar to worm monsters.

And the remaining monsters were Class 3 level.

Then I saw the group of monsters coming towards our direction. I immediately retracted my thoughts and looked at Elder Compton.

I saw Elder Compton is not in his place. Seeing that, I immediately turned towards the group of hyenas. I saw one silhouette walking in mid-air towards the group.

My pupils constrict after witnessing such a scene. "Sure, elite level is something else," I grumbled.

On the other hand, everyone got alert after seeing Compton's action. The vice leader and others immediately began to rush towards the monsters, including Erik.

In the end, I was the one who was left behind. I don't know whether these people know about the presence of four class-4 level monsters up ahead.

Then dispelling the thoughts, I followed behind the slowly. Fortunately, I had stored items in my spare storage ring. Which was in the small vault area placed in the forearm of the suit.

While rushing, I opened the vault to use the storage ring. The next second, I brought out the black sword from the storage ring and held it tightly in my hand.

This is going to be my first battle at Trunulesia forest and that too against mutated class 3 level monsters.

Boom

Suddenly, I heard a loud bang ahead. I realized, Elder Compton is fighting against Class 4 monsters. I'm careful not to enter their battle area. I knew the aftermath would be very serious.

So I diverted my path and found the nearest class 3 monsters. I saw rest of my teammates had begun to fight.

Seeing that, I didn't waste any more time. I raised my black sword against the incoming monster and made a fierce swing.

Puff

When the tip of the blade, came in contact with its skin. The blade went inside the skin smoothly like butter. The next second, blood spurted out from its neck. And the monster's body fell after losing its life.

Seeing that, I didn't collect the monster's body. Instead, I dashed towards the other monsters.

Time went by,

The clash continued to happen. One by one the monsters began to die at the hands of exploration team members.

On the other hand, Compton already killed two Class 4 monsters. Now he is fighting against the remaining two severely injured monsters.

At this time, everyone seems to be occupied and no one cares about the newcomer in their team.

After a few minutes, the vice leader Valerie thought about Zack Lockwood. She immediately killed the monster in front of her and then began to look for Zack.

When her gaze fell in a certain direction, her eyes widened in disbelief. Behind Zack, there are piles of monsters. And the count is higher than her.
