Ancient Tears BloodLine

Usually if someone does shady work, they do it because of their own profit. But here the First Elder does it for own pure pleasure. At the same time, he wants to cause a heavy blow to their enemy faction.

One way of doing it is by eliminating budding talented Warriors of their factions. All of this was a priority before coming here, but after meeting with his old friend Ben.

His long lost ambition begins to stir.

First Elder Casey gave away the dream of Elite after failing twice in breakthrough. But he doesn\'t know why after meeting Ben he doesn\'t want to back down just yet.

He thinks of the possibility of getting opportunities by conducting this event. Various calculations flow through his mind. Before he could immerse deeply in it, he was called out by Official Ben, "Casey, Let\'s go."

The First Elder retracts his thoughts and turns towards him. "Do we need to walk?" He said.

Official Ben chuckles, He knows Casey is not an Elite Warrior so he can\'t fly. But now he doesn\'t want to walk. "Why don\'t you complain now?" Official Ben said in his heart.

"Okay, I\'ll give you a quick tour of our Monster Zone." Official Ben grabbed First Elder\'s shoulder and flew above the entrance towards the Monster Zone.

This time First Elder is prepared so he wasn\'t flustered all of a sudden. Next his gaze is focus on distant deadly forests. The premise of the forest is cleaned to monitor the area. Only by traveling deep inside, you can see actual forest.

Soon, they both flew towards the east of the area. Which is the core area of Class Tree Monsters.

A few minutes later,

Both of them from high above clouds observed the movements in the ground.

In a small swamp, the dark-scaled crocodile is struggling to get away from the roots of the Tree Monster. The crocodile monster can only see the roots, not the tree body.

In frustration, this Class 2 monster tries to flip around to break away from the roots.

"Splash"

As it made a giant flip over, one or two roots broke. But soon several roots reached its body and tied it up.

Next Second without giving much of a sense to crocodile monsters. The roots suddenly covered it\'s whole body and the monster body got dragged deeper into the woods.

This all happened within a few minutes, it\'s not even an hour long struggle.

Official Ben smiled looking at this situation and asked the First Elder who is near him, "Do you think anyone can survive from this?"

There is a small glint in the First Elder\'s eyes. But he didn\'t reply straight away.

Seeing that he is maintaining silence, official Ben added further, "It\'s even hard for the Initial Trainee Warrior to escape from this situation. Unless their body is strong enough to break out from the roots. They can forget about living."

First Elder understands that still Official Ben is testing himself. So he answered, "Those Academies are not short of people. They are only coming to this barren land because of rules. Otherwise they would have been neglected long ago."

Then he continues to say, "Certainly, they are not expecting to find a gem in the competition. Yet recruiters have the responsibility to save some for their academy. So they were forced to select some capable Warriors from the event. And I believe some 100 or so will survive from this event will be enough for their academies."

"100 or so?" Ben suddenly feels a chill in his back.

His expression condensed, he asked the First Elder, "How many have registered for this event?"

"At Least 10,000." First Elder replied nonchalantly.

Official Ben\'s heart skips a beat. He looked at the First Elder\'s expression and saw there was no reaction whatsoever.

Then suddenly he sneered inside, "It\'s easy to say but there is something called public sentiment. If the event will be really live then it\'s impossible to say people will sit back and watch it relax.

Perceiving the gaze of official Ben, the First Elder asked, "What\'s wrong?"

"Don\'t you think the public will criticize?" Official Ben asked.

"Ha...ha...ha..." The First Elder laughed all of a sudden. He really feels his friend\'s brain works slow.

After laughing he calmed himself and replied, " Bloodshed is common in this competition. But compared to previous years, this time the difficulty of survival is going to be a lot harder. If the public dared to say anything, they would suffer more. In the worst case, academies may stop recruiting in our region.``

At this time, Official Ben realizes that his friend has completely sorted out this whole plan.

"This Madman, Luckily he is not elite. Otherwise his cruel means will extend at a larger scale." Official Ben said in his heart.

But one thing is puzzling though, why does his friend have to go to such a length this time?

"Okay, one last question. Why are you doing this? I can see it\'s certainly not for revenge or profit. You don\'t have to make it this harder" official Ben asked back the last question in his heart.

There were lots of monster zones around the region. Why this particular monster zone? Such a question ringing a bell in his mind. He has already sensed some vague answer. Yet he is afraid that it will come true.

The First Elder looked at him in surprise. This time his friend\'s brain really worked hard to form this answer. So he decided to answer.

He said, "You ask me why? It\'s just for fun."

Official Ben feels his brain has suffered from thunder clap. This time he really doesn\'t know how to react to his answer. He certainly regretted his previous actions by stopping him from leaving.

He knows if he continues to stick around, even his own sense of judgement will change.

Next moment, both of them flew towards the other area. Official Ben decided to give him a short tour. And he wants Casey to leave this place as soon as possible. Along the way, official Ben avoided starting a conversation with him.
