Rainer spent the following week in meditation and practicing his skills with Lerna.
His cultivation had not increased but their combat co-operation reached new levels.
A month and a half until the tournament among the youth Guardians of the clan, Rainer headed back into the Mist Woods.
Passing the control at the entrance of the city, he took a completely different path from the one he had taken the last time, although they had improved on the use of their skills, their lack of combat experiences became an urgent matter.
"We must be cautious this time, I don't want to repeat the same story from last week."
By precaution, Rainer and Lerna went down a path that many Guardians had already crossed, where the powerful beasts had already been eliminated for resources and security reasons.All that remainedwere beasts that could be considered weak in the eyes of Guardians, this was information that Alisha gave to Rainer after he had shown his resolve.
On the way, they came across ordinary beasts that would flee when they felt their auras. This was the so-called spiritual pressure, it affected the psyche of weaker beings, making them think twice about it before starting something.
After a whole afternoon spent in search, they came across a target.
A boar at least twice the size of a normal one with metal horns.
This was a very common magic beast in these woods, a Steel-horned boar!The aura of the wild boar indicated that its cultivation was in the Early Manifestation Stage.
This magical beast had a strong charge capacity, if it rammed you with its horns, you'd be a sieve.
"His strong point, his onslaught, is also his downfall. We just have to guide him to the rocks and inertia will do the rest."
Rainer quickly threw a corrosive projectile at the boar, getting its attention.
"I rely on you, Lerna!"
Rainer ran swiftly towards the mountain, behind him an angry boar was chasing him.
"That's it, follow me, your obstinacy will be your bane." Rainer reached the bottom of the cliff where Lerna was waiting for him.
After seeing Rainer, Lerna threw her corrosive saliva on the surface of the rocks along the way, making them an acidic mass.
*Hop*
Rainer jumped the acid dough and he avoided the boar's charge.
After seeing its target changing his direction, the boar proceeded to follow him, but did not notice that the ground in front of him decomposed and he was unable to turn.
The boar tried to escape from its fate but was useless.
*Boom*
The boar's muzzle crashed into the cliff wall. Rainer watched in slow motion as its horns were buried into the wall and its muzzle became deformed from the impact.
After the collision, the boar tried to chase Rainer again, but that's when he realized that its horns were stuck in the wall!
Turning its gaze to Rainer, the boar saw how he drew a spear and approached in it.
*Roar*
The boar, who knew it had fallen into a trap of the young human, tried to escape its fate.
"If you have no strength, use your wits. I'm sorry, buddy...."
Xiu!
Rainer pierced the boar's neck with the end of his spear, extinguishing the light from its eyes.
After killing the boar, Rainer proceeded to the dismantling of it, its meat was tasty and its horns could be used to manufacture weapons.
"These horns will be enough for a good spear, this one has already broke after killing the boar."
Rainer's iron spear was an ordinary spear, after several attacks on the boar's skin, the tip broke.
After the horns were removed from the wall, the floor began to shake when both the wall and the floor collapsed.
"Aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh"
*Splash*
After a long fall that ended with a dive, Rainer swam to the surface.
* Cough Cough *
"What the heck happened!" Shouted Rainer at the top of his lungs. Beside him, the boar's dead body sank into the depths of the subterranean lake.
"My flesh!" Rainer could only mourn for the loss of so much delicious meat, how he could bring to the surface a corpse weighing more than two hundred kilograms!
After whining, Rainer and Lerna went to the shore of the underground lake. Though they were underground, a shimmering moss dimly illuminated the entire cave.
"Where is this place? I hope there's a way out."
"Let's go, Lerna."
After walking down the only available path, Rainer arrived at what looked like the entrance to an old temple.
"...!"
"How can something so big and close to the city not have been discovered yet?"
Upon entering the temple, Rainer noticed an inscription engraved on the entrance.
"These letters..."
"They belong to the Ancient Era!"
Not much is known about the Ancient Era, just a little about the language and most importantly, it was a time of darkness!
Over 1000 years ago the Ancient Age ended, at that time the entire Guyi races lived in harmony until beings known as Giant Race decided to exterminate all living beings.
It was a bloody battle where almost half the world's population died, many races were extinct and others barely resisted, the vast continent was divided by destruction and new ones were born.
Worst of all, they failed to exterminate the Giant Race, the records say that their top ten leaders were so powerful, that the other races had to sacrifice their best warriors just to seal them up!
The ten survivors of the Giant race were from the reptile tribe.
This war was the reason humanity depended on their numbers and intelligence instead of their strength, because humanity lost all its warriors!
All the ancient techniques were lost with their lives.
There is a well-known story about a cultivator who could not summon his spiritual beast.
After the attack of a rival clan, he was the sole survivor, so he took refuge in a cave where he found an incomplete cultivation manual from the Ancient Era.
He was not heard from until twenty years later, when he assaulted and murdered all the members of the rival clan by himself!
After his successful attack, he threw himself into alcohol and confessed that in his youth, he found an incomplete manual from the Ancient Era.Many clans joined forces to steal the manual but in the end that man self-destructed with it.
It may sound ridiculous, but if you think about it, those techniques had hundreds of years of progress and improvements in them, and the current techniques are less than three hundred years old when the Guardians started to train.
"These are ruins of the Ancient Age! No matter what's in there, it must be something precious!"
Excited, Rainer entered into the closest building.
Despite the years, there was not a single mote of dust left and even the air was fresher than at the surface!
"Definitely there's a precious treasure right here!"
Rainer continued walking down the corridor, on his right there was a mural illustrating the battles against the Giant race.
On a wall you could see a giant snake devouring people of different races while others launched a counterattack.
There was another where a dragon appeared to burn an entire city with a single breath attack.
All murals showed how hard it was to live in the ancient era.
"I was lucky to be reincarnated in this period and not before...."
After a few minutes, Rainer finally reached the end of the corridor.The corridor led to a large hall filled with ancient symbols. At the end of the hall there were ten huge bronze doors encrusted with beasts.
In the middle of the room a book illuminated by an unknown beam of light floated above an altar.
"...!"
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
