Celestial Bloodline

Chapter 228  I am dying

"What\'s happening? Izil can you see anything?"

Izil cleaned the green blood on his spear and looked above at Regius. He climbed a nearby tree and eyed the clouds of dust.

"I am low on mana that\'s why can\'t see so far."

Regius thought for a second and gazed at his group members.

"Should we go check out what\'s happening?"

Everyone agreed and they started moving toward the large clouds of dust. However, after walking for twenty minutes, they encountered a panicked human figure running away from the clouds of dust.

The tremor in the ground increased. Also, Regius\'s frown deepened when he saw two more elves running away from the dust clouds.

He opened his mouth to say something but then Izil\'s horrid voice sounded in his ears.

"I ... think we need to run!"

Izil turned around and started running backward. Regius looked at his back with a dumbfounded expression. Not just him, Yue, Lumi, and the other two elves following behind him were also stunned for a second.

Regius grumbled under his breath and shouted.

"Follow him!"

He used an agility skill and caught up with Izil in no time.

"What the heck? Why are we running?"

Izil gazed back with a sweating forehead and groaned.

"Monsters! I saw hundreds of high-rank monsters coming our way!"

"What?"

Regius was stunned. He could sense the tremor in the ground was increasing with each passing second.

"Damn it! Why did so many monsters appear together? Don\'t tell me some idiots provoked them."

Izil shook his head.

"It\'s not a normal group of monsters! There are too many! We can\'t fight them!"

Yue, Lumi, Niamh, and Faith heard their conversation and increased their speed.

They ran with all their might but the tremor only increased and after half an hour they heard loud howls, screeches, and shrieks coming from behind.

Just like them hundreds of participants were running away from the tremor.

Lumi\'s breath was heavy when she jumped and crossed a large area in a second. She was weakest among the group that\'s why she was in the last.

"Guys... I am tired."

She stopped for a few seconds and saw many participants running past her.

Yue looked back at her figure with wide eyes.

"Lumi, what are you doing? Run!"

She stopped and took out an energy potion from her storage ring to give it to Lumi but her eyes contracted when she saw a large round flying bee appearing above Lumi.

"Look up!"

Lumi\'s pupil shook slightly when she sensed a huge shadow enveloping her body. However, she didn\'t freeze in her position instead she titled her body to attack the bee with as many fireballs as possible.

The bee screeched and flew back due to the sudden heat and Lumi immediately rushed toward Yue. Her previous tiredness disappeared within a second.

Yue sighed with relief and threw the energy potion at her.

"Hurry up drink it."

Lumi grabbed the potion and after drinking she looked back. A large group of bees was flying behind them. To her horror, all the bees were at least (D-)-Rank!

"OMG! We are doomed!"

Her panicked voice transferred to Yue who looked back and saw one more type of monster appearing behind the bees.

Yue wanted to stop and fight but when she saw two towering bears snapping the trees behind her she immediately tossed the idea out of her mind.

Regius looked back at his group members. He stopped for a few seconds and climbed a nearby tree to see the situation.

Hundreds of monsters were running toward them. The monsters were so many that Regius wasn\'t able to count them.

He cursed under his breath and jumped down to run again. There was no way they would be able to kill so many monsters.

Many scenarios appeared in his mind. This type of thing didn\'t happen until now so why so suddenly?

He gritted his teeth and shouted at his friends.

"There is a mountain on the west side! Run toward the mountain! We can avoid the ground monsters if we climb the mountain!"

He turned around and sped up toward the mountain. Izil and the others followed behind him.

A few participants running around them heard Regius\'s loud exclamation and changed their path, heading straight toward the mountain.

Meanwhile, Kyle was sleeping peacefully above a large boulder.

He was too bored to run around in the forest so he just decided to sleep around for the last week.

After a few minutes, he opened his eyes with a yawn. His gaze was a little blurry when he jumped down from the boulder.

He tied his messy hair in a pony and looked at the burned firewood and leftover food he had eaten last night.

"I am not hungry so let\'s skip breakfast."

Kyle was present above a rocky mountain. A few days ago he was following behind an elves duo quietly because one of the elves seemed well-versed in Arrays.

However, he was disappointed after following the duo for a few days because he wasn\'t able to gain anything. That\'s why he stopped following them.

Kyle stretched his body and started jogging downward toward the end of the mountain.

His eyes narrowed slightly when he saw dust clouds and large movements between the trees below the mountain.

Kyle\'s pace slowed when he saw a large number of flying monsters coming toward the mountain at a fast speed.

"What the heck?"

He rubbed his eyes thinking maybe he was imagining but no matter what the flock of flying monsters didn\'t disappear. Instead, they were coming near with each passing second.

"This..."

Kyle took in a large breath. So many monsters! He just slept for a few hours and the green forest changed into a monster forest?

He stopped in his tracks. Something was definitely wrong here. Maybe he missed something important while he was busy sleeping.

His gaze lingered at the forest below the mountain and under his astonished gaze many participants jumped out from the forest and started climbing the mountain.

The participants were sweating with their breathing ragged as they did their best to climb as high as possible.

Kyle spotted two familiar figures among the small crowd and disappeared from his location.

He appeared beside a boy who was almost on the verge of collapsing.

"Ahem!"

Regius who just barely arrived at the mountain almost freaked out when a sudden voice sounded in his ears.

"The fuck!"

He turned around to look at the figure running beside him and almost tripped.

"Kyle??"

Kyle blinked his eyes innocently and waved his hand.

"Hi, Regius. How have you been?"

Regius didn\'t know whether to laugh or cry. Seeing Kyle was indeed surprising but right now the situation wasn\'t good enough for them to exchange greetings.

"I am dying!"

He shouted and increased his speed.

Kyle gazed back at the running honey-hair elf who was staring at his figure with wide eyes but when Kyle\'s eyes landed on her she looked away immediately.

He turned around and increased his speed to catch Regius again.

"By the way what\'s happening?"

Kyle\'s question was quite innocent but the only thing Regius wanted was to punch him once!

Regius blurted out in an irritated voice.

"How would I know? I was standing peacefully but hundreds of monsters appeared out of nowhere! Almost half of the participants running around me got eliminated!"

Kyle replied with an \'Oh\' and slowed down so he could properly look at the monsters following behind the participants.

Regius looked back at his figure and shouted with frustration.

"Why the hell are you slowing down? Run it\'s dangerous!"

Kyle waved his hand and started jogging downward.

"It\'s alright. I am just gonna check for a while."

Regius almost choked on his breath and cursed out loud.

"I told you to run why the hell are you going downward!"
