Chapter 240 Purple grass

(Author note: there was no upload yesterday due to me having to make an emergency trip to the hospital. Hope you understand and I hope this doesn’t happen again.

The decision was inconclusive and halved for which side of the mountain they wanted to track up. There was the option of sending half the group on one side too. But after seeing how effective they were as a single unit against a powerful beast.

They felt that it was best to keep everyone together in one powerful group in case something similar happened again.

They started to travel up on the left side of the mountain. Del had made the decision and was ordering the group around, but he wasn’t the one that stood in front of the group. Instead, some of the stronger groups had their own individual front liner.

Del had made some type of excuse claiming that he was the only one able to use the communicator to contact the sergeants. What if he disappeared? If that happened, then the sergeants would have no clue where they were.

But this was a lie.

For the sergeants didn’t have a clue where Del’s class were. They only knew that they had sent out a distress signal.

The scanners had been turned on. They would still record points and work as long as they were within a 200-meter radius of Del. Even though the scanners still provided each student with points for their team. There was no fierce competition anymore.

The group decided to stay close together and no one was venturing far away from their team or far from the whole group.

While scanning new items, the scanner would still do the same, but the sense of competition was no longer there. The reason why Del had turned the scanners back on, was because they were good tools at finding out what was around them.

Whether there were dangerous plants or precious ores...

But the primary function of the scanners for Del was to detect beasts and their levels while those beasts were still far away from the group.

If they came across another beast and it was far too powerful for their group to handle. Del didn’t even dare to imagine the number of casualties and the number of remaining students that would be able to come back with them to the military camp.

The group slowly progressed and eventually, the slope started to level out. They could still see the large wall and the ground behind them, so they found it a little strange.

Usually, any mountains had a lot of ridges with levelled and inclined ground, so this mountain seemed strange.

The open field was long and still very green like most of the jungle so far. With plants here and there, but there was a lot more open space. They were higher in elevation now, but they were still unable to see the top of the mountain from below.

When one of the students went to the edge they looked down, and although they could see the part of the jungle where they had made their last stand against the advanced tier beast.

One of the more curious students went over to the edge and looked down. Even though they could still see the part of the jungle where they made their last stand against that beast previously...

They were unable to see where they had started from the beginning nor the shelter. Depending which direction Del had run from the camp, the only way for them to see the shelter or where they once came from was to climb to a high enough point so they could see the area around them in a bird’s eye view.

But the slightly inclined ground they were on looked like it could go on for miles and the only way left to get higher up the mountain was to scale it using their hands and feet.

But that wouldn’t be a possible option for their group.

The students started to walk around to see if there were any other option to scale the mountain, or if they could see the shelter from the edges of the mountain.

"Maybe it’s best if we just head back down. Going up the mountain might be more dangerous than roaming around down there." Layla said.

��I agree. But also, it doesn’t look like Del really knows what he is doing," Vorden replied.

Del was currently just standing in the middle, looking up at the mountain to his right and down the sloped path from where they had come from. In the middle of their exploration though, three clear and distinctive dings were suddenly heard.
