From MC's perspective:
After cultivating the lightning scripture, I started to work on wooden scripture. Like the lightning method, the wooden method is special as well.
Right after, I started running the method. A deep green essence started to enter my body. These deep green essences are healing elements.
I guided the energy according to the mental method. Then the energy starts to flow through veins and meridians.
After circulation, the energy starts to gather inside my dantian. Seeing that I continued to repeat the process.
Two hours later,
I stopped cultivating and stood up from the ground. Now, I'm ready to leave.
Crunch~
But suddenly, I caught the movements of people through my perception.
My eyes lit up with surprise. Then how did they discover my location?
These people are none other than the Red Moon Tower Warriors who were fighting each other earlier.
Now it looks like they have joined the group.
Sigh~
A soft sight left my mouth. This is an unexpected situation. I can't magically disappear in front of them.
They almost reached the place. Hearing the sound of footsteps, I thought of something.
I took the piece of clothes from the storage ring and began to cover my face by wrapping my head and leaving only my eyes and nose visible.
The piece of clothing was from my spare dress. After returning, I have to make a new one.
Then I looked down at my costume. Anyone can see that I'm from the Saw Scale Viper Academy.
What to do? I furrowed my eyebrows.
The next second, I tore the badge off completely.
I decided to make them unconscious before they could see me.
I used my perception to find their exact location. Soon, I found them in two teams.
After confirming their location, I walked out of the cave.
Fortunately, the time is late evening. The environment looked completely pitch black and dark.
I stepped forward and the purple arc covered my legs the next moment.
"Lightning Phantom Technique," I uttered.
I disappeared from the spot and started moving towards the shade tree.
Meanwhile,
Mitch and others started approaching the cave structure.
"Are you sure this is the spot?" A warrior walking right next to Mitch asked.
The other one perked up their ears as well.
Mitch's eyes flickered with a slight glint. He looked down at the necklace hanging around his neck.
The necklace is a middle-grade artifact. Heirloom of Mitch's family. The heirloom is neither an offensive nor a defensive artifact.
It is a simple utility artifact. It does one job to detect the essence. The artifact glows when there are essence fluctuations within range.
Normally, Mitch has seen it glow during cultivation or inside the herb garden. But out of nowhere, it is shining with light today.
He immediately thought of Max's mission. No one from the Red Moon Tower comes here to cultivate. So there is only one possibility remaining, which is an intruder.
So he replied in a low tone, "Shut your mouth and follow me silently."
At the same time, Max and the team are also approaching the camp structure. Max also uses some artifacts in his hands to find the place.
But unlike Mitch, their speed was slow.
Earlier, both teams stopped fighting after getting a signal from their artifact. The artifacts in his hands were given to him by the mission hall.
Whereas Mitch is using the family heirloom. Now he feels trouble. Mitch's appearance caught him off guard. After an unexpected fight broke out, he thought that guy would leave in the end.
But he never expected to look for the intruder as well.
Suddenly, the artifact in his hand starts to glow brightly.
"Let's go, the location is nearby."
"We need to go there before Mitch's team," Max said.
But what these people don't know is that they have been marked by someone.
Meanwhile,
Through my perception, I saw everything. I understood what was going on. These people came with preparation.
Otherwise, it's difficult to explain the appearance of the artifact. Not every warrior has the luxury to buy artifacts.
So I'm sure that they are prepared for me.
A gloomy glint flashes in my eyes. I underestimated the Red Moon Tower again. High peak mountain is a critical resource point. They don't want any mishap to happen.
Now that I'm exposed. I should leave immediately after making everyone unconscious.
After gaining some clarity, I set my eyes on Mitch. In the pitch-black environment, the only source of light is the artifact.
I can easily target them now. Then I moved from my spot and inched closer toward the trio.
Three of them are clueless. But when I got closer. Mitch seems to turn around. But before he could do that I slammed his head by using my palm.
Slap~
The hit sounded hard. Mitch collapses on the ground. At the same time, the warriors next to him jolted awake.
Slap~ Slap~
I slapped their forehead in the blink of an eye.
Thud~
I knocked them out and their bodies dropped on the ground as well.
This all happened within seconds.
It's a pity that I'm exposed. But it can't be helped. The artifact turned out to be variable. Who would have thought such artifacts exist?
When I saw an artifact hanging around unconscious Mitch's neck. My eyes gleamed with a twinkle.
Should I take it for myself? A trace of thought appeared in my mind. But the next second, I shook my head.
There is no need to stoop so low. Besides, this is just a utility artifact. When it comes to their storage ring. I decided not to touch them as well.
Who knows what they are carrying? Then after taking a glance at them, I moved towards another group.
Fortunately, they turned out to be Elite Level Warriors. If it were Super Elite Warrior, then they can't make themselves unconscious by using a single hit.
Slowly, I found another glowing signal near the cave.
There are four of them. I have to act quickly.
Swoosh~
The purple arc covered my legs. The next moment, I rushed toward them in a flash.
The speed was so fast that I reached their back in a blink of an eye.
Slap~
I slapped the forehead of the person who was carrying the artifact.
The other warriors were startled by the situation. My eyes quickly scanned them. I can only block two, leaving behind the last one to attack me.
"Blood Filed Technique,"
I mobilized the power of the invisible aura and released it outward.
Three of their minds went blank after feeling the dreadful aura.
Using this opportunity, I slapped each of their foreheads one by one to make them unconscious.
Tud~
Three bodies collapsed on the ground.
Seeing that a hint of relief flashes in my eyes.
Then I decided to leave. But before doing that something struck my mind. I don't want to leave the cave structure just like that.
If someone found traces of purple essence, then I would be exposed completely. The purple essence is the power of the lightning element.
Apart from me, there were no other lightning-element warriors here. I could easily have a target on my back.
Then I decided to destroy the cave structure completely. So much that no one could guess why?
A few minutes later,
Boom~
A red flame rose above the cave structure. The glowing red ball is visible in this pitch-black darkness.
Seeing that my mouth curved into an arc. I just used explosive artifacts or blew up the spot. I had saved the explosives for emergency use.
I never expected to use it here. Then I started moving towards the teleportation point. On the way, I didn't rely on the lightning movement technique.
I came here to recover my purple essence and not to waste it. So I'm running using my body strength.
One hour later,
I arrived before the teleportation point. I immediately activated the server to go back to the academy.
Swoosh~
The next moment, I disappeared from the place.
A few hours later,
The unconscious warriors started to wake up one by one. When they regained consciousness everyone felt a severe headache.
Max and Mitch remembered what happened.
"Sh!t" Both of them cursed out loud. Right after, everyone realized they were attacked by the intruder.
Mitch touched his forehead in anger. Then suddenly he looked down at his neck. Seeing the family heirloom was safe and sound.
He sighed in relief. Then he turned toward others. Seeing that the other two are safe and sound as well.
A small smile appeared on his face. Thinking about the attack earlier. A cold shiver went down his spine. He thought the attacker was not an Elite level Warrior.
Otherwise, it's impossible to make them unconscious with a single hit.
At the same time, Max and the others got up as well. It had taken some time to adjust to their emotions.
"Fortunately, the intruder didn't kill us," Max said in a solemn tone.
The other three warriors' expressions turned grave as well.
None of them saw the face of the intruder. They can only report it back to the elders.
