Celestial Bloodline

After hearing Kyle, Bia and Squeak both slowly entered the valley and started attracting monsters one by one. 

With their help, Kyle first easily took care of all the snail-like monsters before advancing toward the green centipedes. 

After 3 hours of continuous fighting, Kyle was finally able to take care of all the monsters lurking around the valley. 

Also, when he was fighting the last ones of the centipedes Kyle broke through to (+E)-Rank. That's why he become excited.

Before entering the opening he encounter an (+E)-Rank monster, after deafening that monster he broke through to (E)-Rank.

Kyle never imagined he would be able to advance 2 sub-ranks in a single day!

When he saw his stats Kyle was satisfied. His mana stat was the highest due to the fact that he ate different types of fruits on the first floor.

After taking care of the monsters Kyle looked at the grass filled valley and without waiting for even a second, he started plucking all the different herbs.

There were a lot of different herbs growing within the grass but because Kyle didn't knew their use, he just plucked everything and threw them inside his storage ring.

He was sure he will make a small fortune after he sold those herbs outside the Tower.

When Kyle was done collecting the herbs, he walked toward the two caves at the end of the valley where Squeak and Bia were waiting for him.

He already killed the centipedes around the caves, that's why there were no other monsters in front of those two caves.

As he promised Kyle took out a fruit from his storage ring and gave it to Squeak but to his surprise Squeak didn't eat the fruit.

When Kyle saw Squeak drooling while looking at the monster's corpse around them, he knew what Squeak wanted.

"You can eat the corpse, they are not useful to me anyway."

After hearing Kyle words, Squeak looked at him with twinkling eyes. It didn't stand on ceremony and under Kyle and Bia amused gaze, it hurriedly jumped toward the nearest (E)-Rank centipede corpse.

On the other hand, Kyle and Bia were both wondering how it was going to eat such a big corpse with such a tiny mouth.

When Squeak arrived in front of the corpse it opened its mouth so wide that Bia who was sitting on top of Kyle head was so shocked that she almost fainted.

Under their shocked gaze, Squeak ate the whole centipede head in one go. 

-Crunch! -Crunch!

The more Kyle looked at its razor-sharp teeth the more frightened he became.

Within one minute, Squeak gulped down the whole corpse of the 6-meter centipede.

After Squeak ate the whole corpse, its body which was only emitting faint energy before suddenly perked up and Squeak broke through to (-D)-Rank under Kyle gaze who was so frightened that he started sweating.

'Shit.'

Kyle cursed inwardly with a horrid expression as he slowly started walking backward toward the two caves.

Bia wanted to fly away even before Kyle but because Squeak was just a few meter ahead of them, she didn't dare to make a single sound.

When she saw Squeak gulp down the huge head of the centipede, she knew the way Squeak looked at her and Kyle was very similar to the way it look at the corpse!

Those twinkling eyes were looking at them like they were food!

When Bia thought about this, she shuddered subconsciously. 

Squeak can just eat her in one bite even before she did something in self-defense.

On the other hand, after eating the centipede corpse Squeak jumped toward another corpse without any care.

Within ten minutes, Squeak ate 6 (E)-Rank centipedes and was completely full.

It turn around to where Kyle and Bia were standing but when Squeak saw no one standing at the place where it left its most delicious prey, its eyes contracted into a slit.

-Squeakeeeeed!

A horrible soul-chilling shout left its mouth before it frantically started looking around for Kyle and Bia with bloodshot eyes.

....

On the other hand, after entering one of the cave behind him. Kyle started running at full speed. 

The cave was dimly lit up with light entering from some holes present on the walls. The cave was not narrow as well, making it easy for Kyle to run.

10 minutes later he and Bia both heard Squeak shout, which send shiver down their spines.

This incident gave Kyle a lot of fright.

He inwardly promised himself to never picked up small animals!

Who could guarantee that the cute little animal won't eat him up when he was sleeping?

After running for 20 minutes, Kyle arrived in front of another open area but except for some uneven rocks, there was nothing inside.

When he glanced around he saw a black stone tablet in the middle of the area, a single small piece of bead shape white earring was floating on top of the tablet.

Kyle hurriedly walked toward the earring and picked it up. The moment he picked up the earring another tunnel opened up behind the tablet.

He gazed at the tunnel before looking at the earring. The earring was emitting a white glow but when it touched Kyle skin the glow disappeared and the earring turned into a normal accessory.

Bia also looked at the earring with squinted eyes. She was able to feel energy fluctuations around the earring when it was floating but when Kyle touched the earring the energy disappeared.

-'I think it's an artifact.'

Kyle nodded at Bia words. He also guessed that the earring was an artifact but the only way to check its usefulness was to wear it.

"Bia, how about you wear this earring and check what it is used for?"

With wide eyes Bia flew away within a second, she didn't expect Kyle to treat her like a test subject!

Seeing her resentful eyes, Kyle become speechless. He sighed, he had no choice but to test the earring on himself.

Kyle open the metal hook of the earring and slowly brought the back half of the earring toward his left ear and with closed eyes, he pierced it inside his earlobe.

With stinging pain, a drop of blood trickle down from his earlobe before Kyle close the hook of the earring.

The moment Kyle wore the earring his presence completely disappeared. 

If before he was able to hide his rank from those who were the same rank or lower rank than him, now no one would be able to guess his rank as long as Kyle wore the white bead-like earring.
