Chapter 1002: The First Person


    ?


    There was one person who had consistently been venturing the ind on their own, hoping that they would find the right path toward the Golden Globe, or at least that was their original goal. Red from the group Alter had been stuck in the sandy area of the ind.


    It was strange to have a desert-likendscape on the ind in the first ce, especially one filled with jungle and life in other areas. Seeing this, along with torn-down ruins and buildings, Red thought there had to be something there.


    He searched the area, trying to look for something, and in doing so, he hade across vicious scorpion-like beasts. They were tough to handle, and most warriors wouldn''t be able to face them, but it wasn''t so much for Red.


    If another was to trail through the desert, they would be finding corpses of scorpion beasts all over the ce. There were norge markings on their bodies, only parts that had been sliced off or small holes through several different areas.


    "There''s nothing here!" Red shouted, swinging his fist and hitting a pir next to him. Arge part of the pir broke off and skipped across the sand. The structure of the pir started to crumble and fall.


    "Absolutely nothing in this area, and that man I saw from before, he''s nowhere to be seen. I thought he would have stayed in this area as well. Did he really just run off?"


    The second reason why Red had decided to stay in the area was his search for the mystery man who covered his face. The man he had gotten in a confrontation with. The monkey had interrupted their fight, so he believed that the mysterious man would use that chance to explore the area.


    Red wanted a second go at him, and seeing the man''s strength temporarily, he thought he would be a good fight, that the two were simr and wanted to go at it again, yet that never happened.


    "I''ve wasted too much time here. I need to find that item!" Red eximed, and his body moved swiftly at fast speed, dragging the sand with him.


    Red quickly went back out of the desert area and returned to the darker green area of the jungle. He wasted no time going through different areas, not slowing down. On some asions, he saw beasts quickly notice him, and he formed a red energy de, stabbing it right through the head, killing it in one hit, as he continued to move from area to area.


    Until he had discovered a new area where the jungle started to turn slightly yellow in color. He slowed down, as somethingrge could be seen up ahead.


    "Another white-furred monkey, but this one is bigger than the others and has more tails. I guess you''re a grandfatherpared to those young ones and the one I took down before then," Red said to himself as he stared at the bridge located just on the other side.


    "Now that looks more like the location where a special item would be left."


    After looking at the bridge, Red saw therge monkey lift a giant ck coconut and hurl it through the air right at him. It was so fast and sudden that Red didn''t have time to avoid it and instead held his hand out.


    The coconut crushed into Red''s hands, and his fingertips broke through the ck coconut. The force of the throw from the monkey dragged him back through the ground, with dirt piling up behind the heels of his feet.


    Eventuallying to a stop ten meterster.


    "You fat-arse monkey!" Red shouted as he clenched his fingers hard, breaking the outside shell of the hard coconut into several pieces and dropping it and the water inside onto the ground.


    Around ten minutes had passed, and finally, Red was on top of the fallen monkey, his leg standing on top of it. Just like with the scorpion beasts, there were several small holes in its body.


    However, unlike the scorpion beasts, parts of the monkey''s limbs hadn''t been shed off. Instead, there were just several cuts all over its body.


    "That was quite the tough beast. I think maybe the toughest one that I''ve had to deal with so far," Red said as he reached into the monkey and pulled out the power stone. He held it in his hand and pulled it toward his chest.


    His chestpartment and ck suit started to open up, and the sound of thumping was heard. Inside it, Red pulled out a crystal, threw it onto the ground, and then ced the blood- soaked crystal from the gori inside him.


    His chestpartment closed, and the ck suit started to form back around his chest. "That''s a high-level power stone. That''s quite the nice upgrade you gave me, friend. Now to continue on this journey," Red imed.


    Walking across the bridge, Red had seemingly entered a new area. It was wide and far- reaching, but rather than walking around the edge to explore every corner, he decided to just head further and further into the center.


    Then finally, he hade across an opening. When looking up, it looked as if it was the base of a mountain. It was covered in green moss, and the ruins and stones they were made of were the same color as before.


    Walking forward, the entrance was extremely wide. It was a single doorway of sorts but was big enough for even giant beasts to enter the ce.


    Red could see nothing on the outside but made sure that his system recorded every single detail. As he entered, he walked across a long hall, the flooring a dark rusted golden color.


    Red was being careful. After seeing the gori beast on the outside, he feared that there might be something even more dangerous on the inside. He was sure his system had recognized it, but he decided to ignore it.


    Finally, Red had made it to arge open room with a change in the flooring-tiles that were different colors with carvings on the floor, a giant circle of sorts.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    "It looks like I''m the only one here and the first person to find the Golden Globe," Red said in
