793 Path To Origin (Part 1)

---) Fruit Of Vitality: Upon consumption, it can permanently increase the stamina and endurance of the user by 10 points each.

Evan looked at the white berry-sized fruit in his hand and tossed it inside his mouth.

As he chewed the fruit, a sour flavour exploded inside his mouth, forcing him to close his eyes. Although the fruit was sour beyond belief, Evan still forced himself to gulp it down; simultaneously, two notifications flashed in front of his eyes.

(+10 Endurance)

(+10 Stamina)

Seeing the notifications, Evan nodded his head in satisfaction and drank a large mouthful of sweet fruit juice to clean his mouth, which was drying because of the sourness of the Fruit Of Vitality.

"Volac," After getting rid of the dryness of his mouth, he glanced at Volac, who was riding a wind and lightning sheep beside him.

Hearing Evan, Volac did not lift his head and passed a paper sheet to him.

Evan took the paper sheet from Volac and similar to before, he was once again impressed by Volac's drawing talent.

"It's not a complete map, but it should be fine for the time being..." Evan muttered to himself as he looked at the map that Volac handed him.

The new map he received was of the mountain range that he could see from the plain grounds. The map was still half completed as Team Black was still in the process of creating the complete map.

According to the information that Evan received from Sylvan and others before entering the Tomb, the Tomb is divided into three layers: the First Layer, the Second Layer, and the Third Layer.

Upon entering the Tomb, all the people will appear in the third layer of the Tomb. In the third layer of the Tomb, the highest-level monster one can encounter is the mid-level Rank Two.

Only after entering the second layer of the Tomb, people will encounter peak Rank Two and Beginner Level Rank Three Monsters.

Finally, in the third layer of the Tomb, monsters of mid-level Rank Three and Peak Rank Three start to appear.

Before entering the Tomb, Sylvan strictly advised Evan and others to stay away from the third layer as it was very dangerous for them.

Even peak Rank Two Core Evolvers who enter the Tomb rarely venture into the third layer due to the high danger posed by mid-level Rank Three and Peak Level Rank Three monsters.

For the time being, forget about the third layer; even the second layer where people can encounter beginner Level Rank Three monsters was very dangerous for Evan as he was just a mid-Level Rank One Core Evolver. Despite this, he still planned to enter the third layer before the Tomb closed.

Obviously, before entering the third layer, he planned to increase his power even more, especially the number of his shadow undeads.

Currently, he can save a total of fifteen thousand shadow undeads, and he planned to fill it as much as possible before entering the third layer.

While heading towards the mountain range, Evan sensed the presence of a few individuals who entered the plain grounds, and unlike before, this time, he didn't avoid them and deliberately chose a path that would let them see him.

He even ordered the wind and lightning sheep to slow down while passing by the other people as he wanted to make sure they could see his face clearly.

Because of this act, although not everyone, but a few more people recognized Evan's face. After recognizing Evan, they obviously tried to catch him to claim the bounty on his head, but unfortunately for them, they were beaten by Brown and his other shadow undeads.

Evan did not kill anyone as he wanted them to spread the news about him everywhere. Although the Tomb was very big, it was not impossible for people to contact their teammates using the current level of communication artefacts.

Cedar, Evan, and the other Drayds also had communication devices that they could use in case of an emergency to contact others, so it was obvious that other people who entered the Tomb also had one.

"I wonder how many people will take the bait and come after me..." Evan said to himself as he passed by a Peak Rank One Mechadroid who was stunned after seeing him riding a beginner-level rank two wind and lightning sheep.

Because Evan tried to promote his face as much as possible while moving towards the mountain range, it took him nearly three hours to exit the plain grounds, even though he was riding the beginner-level rank two sheep.

As Evan left the plain grounds and stopped in front of the mountain range, he felt the atmosphere around him take a complete U-turn.

In the plain grounds, the air was completely dry and there was no greenery in sight. But as Evan looked at the top of the mountain range, he felt cold, humid air blowing forward, and the mountain range was filled with greenery.

"Many of the members of the team black were killed in the mountain range while trying to gather information, so there must be many monsters and other individuals here..." Evan said in a low voice and ordered the sheep to move forward.

Hearing Evan's order, wind and lightning crackled around the sheep, and with just a single step, it instantly appeared atop the mountain range. The moment Evan arrived at the top of the mountain range, a mid-level Rank One python lunged at him, aiming to bite him to death.

Crackle!

But before the python could even touch his skin, lightning erupted from the body of the sheep and charred the mid-level Rank One python, killing it instantly. Evan glanced at the dead body of the python and absorbed its soul using the soul absorption skill, as he still wanted to create an even more powerful soul beacon.

After absorbing the soul of the python, Evan patted the sheep, and it sprinted forward, heading deeper into the mountain range.
