Chapter 23: Enter The Valley
Chapter 23: Enter The Valley
She didn\'t reply to Levi\'s message right away as she read their conversation over and over again.
Occasionally she would shift her brown hair to the side.
She seemed to be thinking about what words she would type next.
Slowly, she started typing.
(I know you won\'t say this to anyone. After all, as long as I don\'t really have any bad intentions towards you, there\'s no way you would hurt me, this old friend of yours. To be honest, I feel lonely doing all this by myself, so I need someone who knows everything about me. Of course, you\'re the one. Who else could I choose.)
Levi who read the message shook his head, letting out a soft sigh.
(You\'ve changed too much.) He replied.
(I haven\'t changed. The person I was as a child cannot be judged as my true self. At that time I was just a blank paper with no scribbles. Now I have an identity that I formed myself. This is my true self.)
(Do you know, you committed a serious crime and your path is an evil path.)
(Evil or good are just two sides like day and night. Whether it becomes day or night is not important to me.)
"..."
Levi shook his head again, already guessing that the woman would say something like that.
Everyone who fell into the darkness had a peak of indifference.
Evil and good indeed did not matter at all to them.
Not wanting to keep reading nonsense, so he stopped replying to her messages.
Being what he was, he had no right to interfere.
It was just that, he wondered if he needed to wait for them first or go straight into the valley.
After thinking about it, he finally decided to enter the valley.
He thought they would still find him later as long as he didn\'t try to erase the trail.
Soon he got out of the car, walking towards the tree-filled valley.
There was an invisible boundary wall between the valley and the surrounding area.
Levi felt the existence of the wall after entering the valley about 100 meters.
After passing through the wall, he felt that the world became wider and the sky seemed a little darker.
Aoooo! Aoooo! Aoooo!
Everywhere, he heard the howls of wolves.
Without him realizing it, he had actually appeared in front of the large trees he had seen from afar.
They should still be far away from him but it seemed to be an illusion when looking from outside the valley.
"Mm..."
When he looked down, he found there were many mounds of earth about two meters long and about 50 cm wide.
They had old wooden poles stuck on them. Some of the wooden poles had also been broken.
Without a doubt, they were graves, old graves.
Levi walked forward, passing several trees whose roots were so large that they made the surrounding area difficult to pass through.
Sometimes, there were roots that were up to 1.5 meters high. Ordinary humans could practically not wander here.
After a while of advancing forward, Levi finally saw some wolves.
They were not on the ground, but on a tree, standing on its branches.
Their size was naturally unlike ordinary wolves. They were huge, even bigger than elephants, possessing sixth stage cultivation.
From the moment he came over, they immediately gave him a sharp glare with a posture like they were ready to lunge at him.
Aoooo!
They howled louder, as if giving a warning.
From the looks of it, they were not the type to attack immediately.
Levi was also not interested in fighting them since they would not give him any EXP, so he continued to walk forward, showing an indifferent attitude towards them.
Aooo! Aoo! Aooo!
Suddenly their howls became rapid, as if they had become very angry.
Levi rolled his eyes back, and found that they were starting to lunge towards him.
"Wolves are wolves," he said with a faint smile as if he wanted to laugh.
They are not the type to attack immediately.
It\'s just that they need respect when someone passes by them.
Otherwise, it was tantamount to provoking them.
Before they reached him, Levi pointed his hand upwards.
Aoooooooo!
A very loud and long howl resounded as the head of a wolf bigger than the biggest truck appeared above Levi\'s hand.
Its mouth opened wide then it moved quickly towards those wolves that looked small compared to the wolf head.
That mouth easily swallowed them, chewing them so that the sound of chewing echoed from inside that mouth, as if it was eating crackers.
Of course, they were not crackers as blood flowed through the cracks of the mouth.
In just an instant, all the wolves had vanished.
Levi immediately resumed his steps and the wolves\' heads disappeared without leaving anything behind.
There wasn\'t any notification from the System, which indeed showed that he didn\'t gain EXP.
The monsters he had to kill had to be in the eleventh stage and above so that he could get experience. Perhaps the EXP he got was also very little if he only killed ordinary monsters considering his combat power.
Unless he kills monsters or undead that have been determined to give large amounts of EXP such as those in the Strongest Warrior Tower.
Without having any experience in this Twilight Forest Valley, Levi ended up walking without direction, just heading where he wanted to.
Occasionally he actually came across human corpses that were missing some limbs.
Surprisingly, there was no foul odor here and the corpses did not decompose either, remaining in a condition like they had just died.
As he continued to advance and found more corpses, he became somewhat wary, thinking there was an extremely terrifying Monster\'s lair ahead.
This was because he didn\'t see any other monsters around either.
Only moments later, he saw a very large cave, surrounded by vines while the mouth of the cave was wide open but very dark as no light touched it.
Level estimated it to be at least fifty meters tall with more being longer, perhaps close to a hundred meters.
