Chapter 54 of "Ancient Tears BloodLine" unveils a new twist: As I was sleeping in the tent peacefully. I heard some growling noise from outside.... See what happens!

As I was sleeping in the tent peacefully. I heard some growling noise from outside. At first, I didn't mind it. But it continued for some time. I opened my eyes suddenly. And perked my ear to listen attentively. And then I heard the growl again. I commented in my heart, " It's real and I'm not hallucinating." I got up slowly in the tent without making a noise. I went outside of the tent. I crouched around the tent. And sneakily looked outside. Seeing that I gasped internally. I saw a pack of wolves sniffing outside continuously. I commented in my heart, "Black Wolf." I saw six wolves sniffing outside circling at the entrance of the cave. I looked at them cclosely to identify their gender. Three of them is female and two is male. And there is no Alpha among the packs. I wondered where is the Alpha now. Luckily, this wolf pack belong to the pseudo-Monster family. But still, it poses a threat. I can't fight these numbers. I pinned my hopes on the repellent powder. That I sprayed at the entrance of the cave. Soon, the wolves after sniffing they didn't find anything. The wolf left one by one. I became relax seeing that. I firmly stood in my location for one hour. Safely guarding the entrance. Hoping that the wolves should not return here. After some time. Seeing the outside is safe. I went back to the tent to have some sleep. Meanwhile The Masked Man assigned to kill the Seeds mentioned the kill list. Arrived at Pinewood City. It's just a coincidence. He happens to be in the same city as Zack. After arriving at the Pinewood City Station. The Masked Man went to the nearby alley in the street. He called his underlings. Soon, Four men wearing a Tuxedo appeared. The Masked Man looked at his sci-fi watch. And Read the names in the kill list. Soon, he read the target's name in Pinewood city. "Carl Jones- Pinewood City, Fire element user." The Masked Man commented in his heart. The Masked Man turned to one of his men and ordered, "The target is Carl Jones, Kill him without leaving any evidence." And he added, "You guys got one day time." All of them nodded and quickly disappeared into the valley. Meanwhile, Zack woke up the next day. I woke up a little early this morning. There is morning sunlight shown throughout the forests. I don't want to travel in the noon. It would be quite hot and dehydrating. I so decided to travel in the morning time. I packed my stuff and left the cave. I began to travel further deep inside the forest. Same time cutting huge grown bushes along the way. And marking signings on the tree. Soon, I came across open land. There is a herd of Pseudo Monsters here. It's a herd of four-legged herbivores monsters. It's a one-meter in size. With a black body and white horn in it. I watched these beautiful Monsters leave after grazing some grasses in the land. And I didn't plan to kill them. After the hoard left. I continued my journey. It's noontime. I sighed thinking that "I need to find some hideout soon, otherwise, I will be dehydrated completely." I commented in my heart. As I was searching for a hideout. I was attacked by a dangerous Pseudo Monster. It was a Black tiger. The attack was so sudden that I failed to defend it. I rolled backwards and heavily hit the nearby tree. Red blood was spilt from my mouth. I moved my body quickly from that place. Even though there is an enormous pain in my back. I looked at the Pseudo Monster. The Black Tiger had a huge body. Its size is twice of a man. Its two blazing eyes glared at me. We were seeing each other's eyes. It suddenly leapt towards me. Using its huge claw as a frontal attack. Seeing that I pulled my huge black sword. I used it as a shield. When the claw of the monster cane towards me. "Screatch…" as the sound of clinging. Reverberated through the entire forests. I felt a huge force pressing down on me. I am barely able to hold its paw with my physical strength. Suddenly, The ground underneath my foot was beginning to crack. Its two huge fangs were just an inch away from my face. I quickly summoned my lightning attack. "Reckoning circle" A thunderous sound sounded accompanied by violet sparks flying everywhere. A Violet Circle is filled with lightning energy. Appeared in front of me. It was a beautiful spectacle. I observed everything in a very slower mode. But looking from outside. It was all happened in a moment. Poor Soul. The Black tiger Pseudo Monster got electrocuted. As soon as Violet lightning circle touches its skin. Its entire black body becomes even blacker. Due to electrocution. Soon, A toasted smell attacked my nose. Suddenly, its body moved. Seeing that I was startled and checked its body. "it got a tough life. Even after electrocution. It is left with half-life." I commented in my heart. I used my sword to pierced its heart. Then it's dead completely. Once and for all. The good thing for me is that. I can use the blood of the Pseudo Monster for my blood cultivation. I moved its body to the storage ring. Meanwhile In Pinewood City, Four underlings and their team leader were following Carl Jones. Carl Jones was Son of Pinewood Academy's Dean. Unlike, Hansen Training facility which is built for sword users. Pinewood Academy is built for Fire element users. The city has the majority of people who have awakened their element as the Fire element. So, it's a very rare sight to see. People with different elemental abilities. Carl Jones is currently headed to a famous fish restaurant with his two friends. So sad for them. They don't know that. Their life is currently hanging on the thread. This famous fish restaurant is located in the area of the bustling street. Where shops of all kinds were doing their business. Attracting all sorts of warriors visiting this street. But today this street is going to be filled with stains of blood. As the leader of the underling Instructed his men to cover all the exit zone. Because he is going to attack Carl Jones. Meanwhile, Zack After storing the black tiger's body. He continued his journey. I can't wait to cultivate my blood technique. Last time I got the blood of Snake. This time it's going to be a black hole tiger. Soon, I stumbled across the tree. It's the first time that I have witnessed such humongous creation of nature. It was 1000 ft in height. I saw there is a small hole in the trunk of the tree. It's not enough to hide the size of a human. I quickly moved into the hole. The whole was slightly uncomfortable. It has no uniform structure. I took my sword to make a comfortable seat to meditate. Then I pulled the body of the black Tiger from my storage ring. I placed my hand on top of its head. This is the new trick I found recently. I don't know whether it will succeed or not. As I recite the word of blood technique. The circular blood ring in my consciousness starts to shine. A huge suction force appeared on the palm of my hands. The purified blood from the black tiger got sucked into my palms. Unlike, last time I stupidly misunderstood. Blood consumption means. I do not have to drink that nasty blood all the time. The Actual Meaning of the blood scripture means allowing the blood of a monster to enter your body. It doesn't mean I have to consume orally. Which is an indirect method. As the blood rune is constantly shining. The blood from the monsters entered my body. And the blood element starts to attract white energies from the monster's blood. The white energies being drilled into my bones. Due to that, I felt huge pain. Like my bones being molten. There is already a form of thin lines formed in my bones. It's getting to become thicker by the time. Soon, the monster's blood becomes dried. And the white energies stopped drilling into my bones. I store the monster body for sales. Meanwhile, The Underlings of the Masked Man going to stage a massacre. As the leader of the underling took a black rapier. He instantly flashed in a moment appeared in front of them. The trio of friends had stopped their breath for a moment. A look of horror appeared in trio eyes as they took a sight of black rapier. But unfortunate for them. Their body become stilled due to fear. The leader of the underlings didn't waste any moment to use his black rapier. The leader of the underling moved his black rapier to slice the throat of the trio. It was happened in a flash moment without making a sound. Blood spilled kin the ground. The trio fell of holding their throats.. There is still look of disbelief in their eyes.
