BXBX NOVEL Chapter 181 - Floor 5
Cole\'s father was very drunk on the day that Adam was scouting Staten Island and upon seeing him, Adam began following him.
William was getting drunk because the next day his son would have the face and reveal himself to the Epstein Family, which was a big and stressful thing that he had been awaiting for 13 years since his wife was killed.
Adam followed him around and he did get into a brawl like he told Angela and Wayde, but although he was a skilled fighter and easily defeated them, he didn\'t seem to be a cultivator.
But the feeling that William gave Adam was that of a cultivator, so Adam gathered that William\'s cultivation must have been destroyed or ruined by something, but he still retained the skill and combat prowess that he acquired as a cultivator.
Adam had changed massively from when he was young and with the Disguise Illusion Stone activated, the drunk William didn\'t recognise him in the slightest and began babbling about everything to Adam.
Adam couldn\'t imagine how drunk he must have been to randomly reveal all of his secrets to a random person, but once again his supernatural luck was shown and Adam revealed to Angela and Wayde what he wanted to while concealing some things.
What he concealed was that Cole was the candidate for the next family head, was the son of the previous family head and was also a cultivator. However, if he could help Cole get the position of the family head, he would help his friend out while also forming an alliance with the Maxwell Family, as his friend would help him out as well.
Everything that he heard from William made Adam worry for Cole\'s wellbeing, especially since he knew how hard being a cultivator could be and how hard it would be to stay calm and sane without good support.
Adam had the Hunter\'s mind to help him cope and although he knew that his circumstance was special, he still knew how difficult it could be.
After he revealed to Angela and Wayde what he found out, Adam went to his room, cleaned himself up and went straight to sleep, excited to hunt on Floor 5.
Upon sleeping, Adam felt his soul be sucked out of his body and into the area that he would be in before entering a new floor.
Before him was a large gate that had a long corridor behind it that had a golden light at the end of it. Adam already experiencing the weird warping sensation in the corridor that made him feel as though time and space were non-existent, so dashed into the golden light and was transported to Floor 5.
Adam was surprised to find that Floor 5 was much larger than Floor 4 and he couldn\'t tell exactly how large it was, but it was an environment that had many places to hide and a lot of space to run.
Immediately upon being transported to Floor 5, he found it harder to breathe as though the air was scarcer and from the strong winds and the quite cold temperature, he could instantly tell what kind of environment it was.
It was a mountainous region and there were many large mountains, but it was a good environment to train his body and if he was able to increase his stats, the improvement would be relayed to his real body.
Adam equipped all the gear that he had acquired and bought over the past month of hunting and his stats were increased by over 20 stat points because of it as he entered stage 1 to find that the first beasts that he had to hunt were mountain goat-like beasts.
Their appearance seemed like an ordinary mountain goat, but Adam knew not to underestimate any beast in the dungeon, especially since he was on Floor 5.
What he knew about mountain goats was that they were some of the most resilient animals and could survive in the harshest environments, while their horns were something to be feared, especially since they were supernatural beasts from the dungeon.
The mountainous region gave them an advantage since they could almost stand on a flat wall that was 90 degrees to the ground. Matched with their speed and charging power, they were quite a difficult beast to deal with, but with his speed and summons, Adam was sure that he could handle them.
Adam hunted in the dungeon for an entire day, only stopping to use the Ethereal Recovery Skill to recover his energy storages and his HP, and made sure to use all of his summons and treated them well.
It had been 12 hours in reality and he woke up very late considering that they were on an urgent mission that had a 3-day time limit, but Angela and Wayde didn\'t say anything to him, while Adam was confident that with Cole in the mix, everything would work out.
Upon waking up, Adam quickly did a few thousand press-ups, sit-ups and squats to train his body and after washing and eating a large meal, it was already past midday.
"Are you not going to scout the area and try and find a solution? This was your idea in the first place" complained Angela.
"Just relax, I will sort everything out. Patience is a virtue and with me here, you have nothing to worry about" reassured her Adam with a confident smile.
"Are you sure? What are you planning on doing?" asked Angela who was confused by his sudden confidence.
Adam shrugged, not wanting to reveal to her what he was planning on doing to annoy her and to protect the identity of Cole.
"Uh, just don\'t get yourself killed because of your reckless actions" sighed Angela who believed in Adam, but couldn\'t be as relaxed and calm as him with her family on the verge of destruction and with her chance of being the next family head on the line.
