Chapter 131 The Core Zone (1/2)

The atmosphere as we reached near the boundary of the core region. Everyone felt little heavy as they saw woods in front of us.

This feeling nothing to do with the surrounding, it's all mental as we all heard about how dangerous is the core region.

Every step had to be taken carefully, the slightest mistake could cost one his life.

With Max and Rachel lead we entered the wood of core region.

I took a step inside the woods with rest, inside the woods some kind of feeling enveloped me, it is not uncomfortable but also not comfortable.

It had the same flavor as foreign energy of the forest, it's just that the feeling is little dense.

I kept my sword activated like everyone else for any monsters sneak attack.

Everyone on their nerves, they would swing their swords around for a slight moment, many people injured people beside them this way.

I am feeling little weird, we have been walking inside for five minutes but we had not come across a single monster.

Not a live monsters, we had not even seen bones of the monsters which are normally found in forest like this here are none.

This makes this place even more fearful, not I even max had a serious expression which rarely seen on his face.

I feel relieved knowing that my choice is right for not letting out Ashlyn seeing the max serious face.

Although I promised her that I will let her out after I felt relieved enough, I had to promised that otherwise, she would have forcefully gone out without care for my permission.

Before coming here, Rachel had supplied us with all the information she had on the core region of this forest.

Both about terrain and monsters but she warned that she had less 5% monsters information and nearly all the monster we will encounter will be unknown.

Its good thing that she had given us an encyclopedia of rare monsters which found in places like this and will be helpful fighting the monsters which are mentioned in the encyclopedia.

'Rustle…' i heard slight rustle but when I look back, there is just leaves rustling on the tree but the weird thing is, there is no wind.

''That really scared me!” Said jill with a self depressing smile, she is not the only one, I also lost my shit hearing the leaves rustle.

We silently tread the woods without much talking, normally we always talk to pass the time and release some pressure we are feeling but this time I am having this weird intuition that I am surrounded in danger.

''Ahhhh!” 'Ahhh! Ahhh!...….' I heard loud scream behind me suddenly and before I could look back at the scream, another scream rose and then another.

They were far to ahead of me to see clearly but they seem to be in entangled in something.

'Durrrr' i heard something coming toward me swiftly from the back, without thinking I whip my sword at my back in an unnatural angle.

It's a good thing that my body had become very flexible due to the fruit of rebirth and those weird exercise of Night Blade Style that I didn't feel any strain swinging my sword backward.

”Shluck!” My sword hit something and when I quickly move back to what it is, I left dumb struct.

it is brach, a thick tree branch that coming out the tree and that tree that branch is come from is shrinking at a visible rate.
