Chapter 66 Acquiring an Artifact

Chapter 66 Acquiring an Artifact?

Bia looked at Kyle with surprise, just a second ago she was able to feel him standing in front of her but now except for their bond she wasn't able to feel anything else.

She flew back and sat on top of his head with a sigh.

-'What did I expect, with your incredible luck I don't think you will ever find something useless.'

Kyle hear Bia regretful voice and smiled. The artifact was indeed useful. Now, he could roam around freely and no one would be able to sense his presence.

With a delighted expression, Kyle entered the tunnel that opened behind the stone tablet.

After walking around the tunnel for ten minutes, he finally saw light at the end and hurriedly walked out. Only to see huge trees standing proudly in front of him.

Kyle looked around with squinted eyes and finally took a deep breath.

For some reason, he seemed to have appeared at the bottom of the mountain.

Anyway, him appearing at the bottom of the mountain was good because there were no other golden cross marks on top of the mountain.

So, appearing inside the forest made him a little happy. Now he doesn't have to climb down the mountain.

After changing his dirty clothes into clean ones he took out the map once again, there were only 50 something golden cross marks around the second section.

Among those marks, the one in the middle of the whole second floor was the biggest golden cross mark.

Kyle looked at the biggest golden cross mark and immediately decided to go and grab the treasure present there, no matter what.

There were three more golden cross marks on his way toward the biggest golden cross mark that's why he decided to just stop at those places for a while to pick up the things present there.

After thinking about what he needs to do, Kyle placed the map back and started running toward the biggest golden cross mark.

He gazed at the surrounding trees. Fortunately, there were no spikes. The leaves on the tree were also large.

And because of the white artifact earring, monsters were not able to detect his presence. Bia also started flying above him. She kept an eye on their surrounding.

On his way, Kyle encounter some (-E)-Rank and (+E)-Rank monsters but he killed them easily with his newfound strength.

Also, he was a little shocked because he didn't encounter any monster lower than (-E)-Rank!

All the monsters were (-E)-Rank or higher and that was after excluding the 'Boss Monsters' of the second floor.

While running, Kyle also saw a bear type 'Boss Monster' and his jaw dropped because the monster was (-C)-Rank!

If not for the artifact hiding his presence, he would have definitely become a piece of meat for the Boss monster.

It seems only those who had reached (-E)-Rank or higher would be able to survive on the second floor and it was on the base that they don't encounter any boss Monster.

Kyle wondered, if the second floor was so dangerous what would happen when he reached the higher floors?

After running for an hour at full speed, suddenly he heard a small commotion behind some trees.

With slow steps, Kyle climbed the nearest tree and looked at the commotion.

Amidst the trees four demi-humans, one woman and three mans wearing luxurious clothes were standing proudly while laughing.

The woman had two ears on top of her head and a single long fury tail behind her back, indicating her identity as a half-fox.

The other three men all had small tails with horns on their heads.

All four of them were holding different weapons, and their weapons were filled with blood.

Kneeling in front of them were two injured elves and one human who seemed to be on the verge of death.

Looking at the situation in front of him, Kyle eyes turn cold. He knew the relationship between all the races wasn't good but he didn't expect them to kill each other.

He didn't know who the human was nor did he have any relationship with those elves but Kyle didn't want to see someone dying in front of him.

Kyle gazed at the four demi-humans. Two of the demi-human man were (E)-Rank while the woman was (-E)-Rank.

The one who looked like the leader of the demi-humans group seemed to have just broken through to (+E)-Rank.

It seemed after meeting each other they teamed up and started hunting monsters together that's why they were able to survive on the second floor.

If Kyle wanted to, he could take care of them easily with the help of Bia but after thinking for a while he thought of an idea where he didn't have to interfere directly.

Kyle looked at Bia, who was sitting beside him on the tree branch.

Seeing his serious gaze, Bia shuddered for some reason. She knew nothing good will come out whenever Kyle looked at her with such a burning gaze.

......

After a minute, Bia was thrown toward the four demi-humans with three fist-sized golden fruits dangling around her neck.

Kyle made a circular necklace with the help of tree vines and attached three golden fruits he acquired from the first floor to the circular vine.

Bia looked at where Kyle was sitting and cursed.

-'Fuck! This majestic me will take revenge for this humiliation! Just you wait.'

While she was cursing Kyle inside her head and flapping her wings frantically, the four demi-humans were alarmed by her sudden appearance.

They looked at Bia with seriousness but when they saw it was just a bird they sighed with relief.

Meanwhile with beat red fur, Bia looked at the four demi-humans standing not so far from her. She was so embarrassed that she wanted to bury herself underground.

The four demi-humans also looked at Bia, their eyes filled with curiosity but when they saw the fruits dangling around her neck they become speechless.

Seeing the golden light around the fruits, all four of them looked at each other with shock.

The fruits in front of them were precious!

All of them have eaten this type of fruit on the first floor, the effect of those fruits was incredible but it was a pity that they were only able to find one or two.

Still, they were caution and didn't approach Bia immediately. nove(lb(In

One of the demi-humans who was the leader of the group hurriedly gestured the demi-human standing behind him.

He asked him to look around their location and make sure no other person was present around them.

The one standing behind nodded and immediately looked around but after a while he returned and shook his head, indicating there was no one else.

After knowing no one was around them, the leader of the demi-humans immediately ordered the other three to catch the bird in front of them.

All of them gathered around Bia with greed-filled eyes.

On the other hand, Bia also become serious when she saw them walking toward her.

The moment one of the demi-humans was going to pounce on her, she hurriedly flapped her wings and started flying toward the north side.

All the demi-humans looked at each other before following behind Bia.
