After the train journey, I reached home. I went to my room directly. I didn't find Granny in the garden. She went to a nearby shop. Thinking that I directly laid on my couch. Didn't even care to remove my sneakers. A sense of comfort wash over me. I commented in my heart, "It feels good. After a long day of training." Due to tiredness. Zack fell asleep. One hour later, I woke up. Massaging my temple. I noticed that I fell asleep for an hour. Then I lazily went for a shower. Had a long bath. After I wore my Shorts and Tees. Decided to do some meditation. At the dining table, "Uncle James, I got an assignment to kill Pseudo Monster. Since I joined the Advance Class. I have to do this kind of assignment every weekend hereafter." Informed Zack. Listening to Zack. Uncle James asked, "Where they assigned you?" Uncle James didn't mind about Pseudo Monsters. The Assigned location was sometimes caused unnecessary trouble. I answered, "It's Pinewood Forests, I have to kill White Stripped Forests Spider." I am hoping to get some intel from Uncle James. From library and Alliance Network. I couldn't find anything other than General description. Uncle James Knitted his eyebrows hearing that. Granny Park also had some doubting look on her face. "I believe that forest is also the habitat of Some Class 1 Monster." Revealed Granny Park. After heard from her. The doubt in my heart is cleared. If it's possible. I need to kill at least one Class 1 Monster. Uncle James advised me by saying, "It won't be a problem for you. After your recent breakthrough in energy level(Lightning), It will be easier to battle Class 1 Monster." He continued, "But you have to be careful. There miget, be a frequent occurrence of Pseudo Monsters hoard. And some Class 1 Monster live in Pack; You have to be careful by not coming across them." Granny Park became worried. She noted, "It would be fine. If it is one to one battle. If you find any team. Don't hesitate to leave that area immediately." She added, "Limit your search area around the border area of the forest. Don't go deep inside." After hearing both of their points. I gained new clarity over my judgements. It's good to discuss with both of them. Their experience is something that I don't have now. I need to go through my plans. Like they said if I come across any pack. It would be difficult to stay in that area. Like Wolf Pack roaming around the forests. I need to be careful of them. We had few conversations. Later I went back to my room. I need a good sleep. Because Tomorrow will be a hectic day. Early Morning, Next Day. I said my goodbyes to Uncle James and Granny Park. And left for the train station. Sometimes later, I boarded the train. The travelling time to Pinewood city is four hours. It's still a better time. When comparing travelling time for Mountain Liz. I used this time to go through some details about White Stripped Forest Spider. It's noted that they are usually found in dark caves. They will come outside of the forest to hunt down their prey. Once after hunting down. They will take back the prey to the cave. To consume later. Reading this description. I commented in my heart, " I need to go deep inside the forest. Caves cannot be found in border areas of the forests." I spend my time taking small naps. Until the train reaches Pinewood City Station. Sometimes later, The train reached the station. I left the train and immediately found an air cab. I took the cab to pinewood Forest town. It's a small town nearby the forests. No monsters can exit the forests. Because Ranger Warrior took Patrol to monitor the area. They will kill any monster that trespasses the livelihood area. Half an hour later. The Air cab dropped me at the Pinewood town's entrance. I saw dense forest at some distance. But before that, there is a huge wall built around that area. This is the border wall that separates the town from Forests. I had to walk some distance to reach the border wall. There is a Small entrance to that forest. Before that, I have to submit my details to the Ranger office. At Ranger's office. It was a wide room built near the border wall. Multiple holoscreen projecting different areas of the forests. Numerous staff were working here monitoring the situation. This is just one of the offices. Which is monitoring the northern border area of the forests. Then I informed my purpose of the visit to officials. After collecting my credentials. They allowed me to enter the forests area. I came to the entrance gate. After giving some glance to the border wall. I entered the forest. There is a small footpath going deep inside the forests I followed the footpath. I opened the map in my sci-fi watch. There were three zones. First zone include border areas and some inner parts of the forests. Third zone included the core region of the forest. Where class 1 Monster usually lives. The second zone surrounds the third zone. It acts like buffer between first zone and third zone. The second zone is a grey area. Where I can find caves that inhabiting white stripped forest spider. As I was following the footpath. The ground underneath starts to shake. "What's happening?" I commented in my heart. I quickly moved from that area. The place I was standing before was started to crack. A huge worm came upward through the hole. Seeing it for the first time. I had the urge to vomit. It's a Common Ground Worm Pseudo Monster. It wriggled its huge body to move completely from the ground. I pulled my black sword. Seeing it coming towards me to attack. I didn't face it straightforwardly. I moved immediately from that place and aimed at its abdomen. I used my full strength to attack it's abdomen with my sword. A huge chunk of flesh fell off. As I sliced. The worm started to twist its body. Seeing that I moved again wanted to completely separate its body into two. After some effort. I succeeded. This worm is something. Even after It divided into two. The organ is still active. I used my sword to decapitate its head. Then everything settled down. The battle would have been ended long ago. If I used my lightning attack. But there is a monitoring system installed. This area is still close to the border wall. So I got no choice to attack it with my sword. I decided to enter the second zone quickly. So that I can use my hand more freely. I continued the path again. Finally, I reached the grey zone. On the way, I didn't encounter any pseudo monsters. The footpath itself is narrow. On top of it there were some brushes grown. Making it harder to walk further. The footpath ended in grey zone. It didn't continue further. Because deep inside there is the area of the Class 1 Monster. It's a Zone 3. I looked around the area. It's a dense forest filled with trees and bushes. Hereafter, I have to navigate my way. I looked at the Map. I marked the approximate area. "Where to follow" I wondered inside. I decided to follow east. I used a camping knife to mark a sign on the tree along the way. It's already getting dark. I need to find open land. A soon as possible. As I was walked further deep inside the east region of the grey zone. Soon, I found a small cave. It's a naturally formed rock. With a huge cleave in it. The cleave is enough for me to hide from the Pseudo Monsters. After climbing up the rock and enter inside the opening of the cave. I took out some plants. And made powder of it. I spread the powder covering the mouth of the cave. It's a repellent powder. It's very annoying for Pseudo Monsters. If they smell it. They won't hesitate to walkway from this place. Seeing its entirely dark. I started to put up a tent. And setup some sensors to trip me in advance. Whenever there is a incident. After arranging the tent completely. I ate the canned food for dinner. All this time I had to be on guard. To watch out for any monster roaming around this area. Because the location of this huge rock is in a random place. So, there is a huge chance of Monster activities here. The only good thing happened so far is. There is no monitor system here. I can use my lightning to kill the monster.Without worrying about ranger's eyes. I once again checked the sensors at the entrance of the cave. Before I went to sleep. I didn't consume the blood of the worm to cultivate blood element. Because it's blood is not in red colour. It's a disgusting liquid with yellow colour. There is huge pungent smell came when its blood spilled on the ground. I had to forget about cultivating blood element.. Witnessing that.
