CHAPTER 40: CH 40

I immediately take out the novice technique pill from the system inventory, it was lightly shining green colour pill which look like an orb. It was in a golden box with the upper side of the box being transparent.

I take it out from the golden box and after some initial hesitation, I put it in my mouth my and started waiting for something to happen.

Which happened soon enough as some information was soon transferred to brain, but unlike my first time I was able to remain conscious and was able to handle the mental pressure since this time, the information wasn’t much compared to before and it only felt slightly dizzy.

After I was able to control myself, I take a deep breath and sat on the ground is that is going through the information I receive from system.

Unlike last time, it wasn’t only some Information I received from system, it was as a system also give me experience.

Experience of me using this disguise technique to change my appearance into many different appearances.

I tried changing my face muscles as according to the technique and to my shock I was able to do it with such a ease that even I was surprised that it was me doing it. I felt as if I have been practicing this technique for this for days.

After obtaining this level of mastery in my disguise technique, I was more confident that I can do what i have in mind but still, there are some restriction with this technique which I will need to keep in mind while acting or doing whatever I am going to do at those campsites.

First, since I only have novice level mastery in this technique, I can only disguise myself for 4 hours in a day and more time than that, the technique will automatically go off and my face muscles will return to normal.

Second restriction is that, the current level of my technique can only fool person of level 7 and less level than that, as for those with more level, than it will be here dead end for me.

Not hundred percent chance that it will be my dead end, because If a level 8 or 9 person saw me but don’t look at me that closely by ignoring me for whatever reason or saw me from a distance, then I can still be safe since they won’t be able to see that I am using fake face.

But it is a big gamble to play with, the risk Is very high but....

’The higher the risk is, the better the rewards are’, I thought while smiling and get back to business, my eyes fixed on all the camps in front of me. It is time to find a target.

.....

Tom was very unhappy at his own fate. Today, he has a Date with katherine and send the location of the cafe through a message but she never showd up.

He waited and waited and waited for a long time before releasing that she is not going to come even though she agreed for the date, he left the cafe in the fit of rage and frustration.

He directly go to a bar to drink some wine and left from the place after buying two costly bottles. He look at the bottles of wine and signed before open the lid and started drinking.

He was never heavy drinking in the past but the amount of drinking he has been doing has increase drastically these few days, he thought as he take another sip from the bottle and opened the second one too and hold it in his another hand.

’It seems like I was starting to like her a bit.’ he thought.

Soon he was high on alcohol and don’t even know where he was going, left the city to the city gate at this moment without him realising it.

He continue walking while wobbling and soon he entered the forest. He don’t even know where he was going when his dragoness takes the charge.

"Tom, move towards your right." She said excitedly and weirdly enough, the dizziness he was feeling also left him and he was again able to think with a calm mind.

He don’t question her about it since he understood that she must of done something to remove the effects of alcohol. He drop both the bottles in his hand and started running at his average speed in the direction she told him to go in.

As he was running, a voice again made way towards his ears from his ring, "Increase your speed, someone is following you." She said not understanding why a dragon- blood was following alex.

It was also good to an extent thought, she thought.

If it was someone else, she wouldn’t even know about someone following them as she is only slightly feel the follower presence because they are of same race and her bloodline being of higher level.

"Who is following us?" Tom asked as he increased his speed to the maximum leaving the person following them far behind and continue running.

"I don’t know." She said and paused before screaming again. "STOP RIGHT HERE!!!" She said.

"Is someone here." Tom said lightly so that no one else could hear his voice as he takes fighting position, he has practicing it in his room for somedays now.

"No one is here except us but..." She said and paused as Tom relaxed a little, ’Atleast no one else is here.’ he thought but was also slightly curious why they stopped even if there is no one else.

"But we are inside a trap." She said and signed.

"What kind of trap are we in." Tom asked as he looked around, he don’t find anything suspicious.

"Nothing harmful but as long as we are here in this trap, we won’t be able to reach the place where I sensed a huge amount of Qi, according to this world natural standard. There is definitely some kind of natural treasure."

"Then what should we do." Tom said excitedly, he wanted to know what kind of treasure is here. He find is first cheat like this too after all.

"It can’t be helped then, I will show you the way. I need you to be more stronger after all, you can’t do anything if you are this weak.

But I won’t be able to help you much after that, even this much will almost my whole energy." She said as she started guiding him towards the centre and in two hours.

They soon reached the area around the place from where they want to go and stopped at the distance because of a lot of camps he saw in front of him.

Tom was the only one who was shocked because of what he saw, he has doubts but now they were confirmed that the big and royal families are indeed hidden cultivation families, while normal citizens are nothing but frog in a well.

The dragoness don’t even flinch at thier sight, she has already seen many things like hidden powers that only act when something big happen.

As for the big thing, it indeed made her excited as she called tom breaking his trance.

"Tom, there is a dungeon here. We need to enter inside. There can be something good inside dungeon and its core." She said excitedly as Tom also keenly look at the wooden wall.

He know what a dungeon is, though he don’t know how they are created but they always have something good inside them and thier core is also useful, atleast this is what his partner has told him.

He wanted to enter and take whatever valuable thing he can get inside there but he know can’t do it, he isn’t stong enough to do it.

The dragoness also understand this as she asked him, "Do you want to take this risk?", Tom said nothing but just nod to her in reply, she sighed and after thinking for a bit, she told him what to do.

"Take out the stealth potion you had." She was a great potion maker and a good alchemist too, that’s why she has been teaching tom some basic recipe to help him and herself indirectly.

The sooner he becomes stronger, the sooner she would be able to leave the ring. Even she don’t what kind of treasure this ring is, only the person who sealed her here for his successor knows this treasure and he is no more.

She thought as she look around her in the empty dark space with only few things inside, but even in them, what stand out was a football size orb which was shining like a sun in the emptiness but its light never going past a certain boundary around it.

’No, it isn’t like he is fully dead, he is alive in one way or other, who knows what kind of future awaits us when he wakes up.

Sigh, just what was he thinking while doing something like this, and why drag me in this mess.’ she thought and soon shook her head. ’It isn’t time to think anything like that, let’s take one step at a time.

TOWARDS MY FREEDOM!!’ she thought.
