Chapter 196: Zi Jiao
Chapter 196: Zi Jiao
The route to the central area was treacherous and dangerous, anyone who is not careful where you walks, may have a rather tragic and miserable end.
During the first hours of racing, thousands of participants were killed because of the hidden traps and creatures that inhabited the secret realm. These creatures had some items that interested the alliance, those who manage to defeat and grab the valuable parts can trade for items in the alliance.
Several groups tried to fight these creatures, but several died during the fight or by other participants who were waiting for a chance to steal. Several bloody battles began to emerge in various places because of disputes over the possession of creatures.
Those who had powerful backgrounds did not care about these creatures, they just ran at full speed to try to get first in the central area of the secret realm. Neither of them cared if anyone died along the way, that would be less competition for them in the future.
At the tournament place for those aged 19-29, a certain region was able to see a person dressed in black walking steadily toward the central area, the other competitors passing through that person, they took a good look before to leave.
This person was wearing a black cloak that completely covered its body, there was a large cloth that was protecting something on its back, this thing was bigger than the person. By the shape, it looked like a great sword three meters high and one meter wide.
As it walked, this person took a map of the secret realm that the alliance distributed, there was a bright spot that was the current location of the participants. But there was nothing special, nothing is written or colored areas showing danger or something. The map was just a generic sketch, there were only a few lines drawn showing how it was the secret realm in general, not even the division of the zones. Only those coming from great influences could get a more detailed map.
This person was walking but was not going towards the central area, this person was taking deviations, it was like looking for something.
There was a total of six months of time inside the secret realm to get to the central area, what the participants would do in the meantime to get there did not matter, what matters was only that they manage to get to the safety zone in the central area.
Every now and then there were people struggling everywhere, this type of person was only a small part of the participants, the vast majority preferred to run straight into the central area, there were also those who liked to waste time to intimidate the weak.
If it is someone with great influence, that person would be viewed with disdain by others who also came from great influences. Because for some, using the influence and power to intimidate the weak was like blame in the name of their group. There were also those who thought otherwise, that influence and power were used to intimidate the weak.
The black person walked for several hours at random through the initial zone, along the way it fought some creatures. Ninety-nine percent of the competitors were on their way to the second zone, only a few were in the first zone in an attempt to get some fortune.
After several hours walking and killing creatures, from time to time, it was possible to find corpses of other competitors or creatures. As someone who had no background, the person in black always searched the bodies in an attempt to find something valuable or interesting before continuing the walk.
Inside the secret realm, there was no difference between day and night, after several hours of walking and fighting, the black person became tired, took a while to find a good place to make a camp.
The place was a fairly large tree, in the middle of the trunk was a huge hollow that fit two people. Next to the tree was a small stream with several types of fish.
The black person covered the entrance with a black cloth, at night it was difficult to see if it was the bark of the tree or not. The room was illuminated after the lighting crystal was placed in some corner.
The person in black began to remove the robe, the image that appeared was of a young woman of 24-25 years, her appearance was beautiful with reddish skin and scales on the neck, there was a small horn on the forehead, the figure was curvilinear with proportions in the three measures. If Liu Yang saw her, he could recognize, she was Zi Jiao, the hotel attendant who slept with him.
After she left, Zi Jiao left on an extremely arduous and dangerous journey in an attempt to get stronger and have the opportunity to stand next to Liu Yang once again. As she was a woman, her journey was even more dangerous, for there were many men wanting to **** her along the way, and in the end, all were killed by her.
Finishing to remove the cloak and the clothes, she used a spell from the water element to wash the body before drying with wind magic and then dressing again. After a brief meal, she lay down while holding the weapon wrapped in the black cloth, before she could sleep she murmured a few words.
"Young master, Jiao will grow stronger, when the two of us meet again, the young master will let Jiao accompany you as your maid?" Without realizing it, Zi Jiao sleeps as a warm smile appeared in her face as she remembered those days in which she spent together with Liu Yang and her friend, Yu Lin, inside the hotel room.
...
Several days later ...
Zi Jiao continued her journey through the secret realm, she was aiming to find creatures and defeat its to get special items to trade with the alliance. She had found some along the way, but it was easily defeated by her.
The levels of the creatures that inhabited in this secret realm were of 150-500. The creatures in the border area had been level 150-250, those in the middle zone were 250-350 while those in the central zone were 350-500.
Zi Jiao was at level 200 currently, when she met Liu Yang, she was only level 1. After another year of bloody battles and dangerous adventures, Zi Jiao managed to reach level 200, she did all this just to be able to stand next to her beloved young master who was Liu Yang.
After several days walking, she realized that there were no more beasts in the first zone or were hidden or were in far away places. Due to this, Zi Jiao decided to go towards the middle zone.
Along the way, she found more corpses of other participants on the floor, on each body, were bloody marks of cuts and bites. It was possible to deduce that they all fought bloody battles before they were killed. In the belongings of the bodies, there were some things of little value, Zi Jiao picked up only the consumable items before continuing the walk.
