Chapter 89 - Betrayal

Next day,

Sam was silently traveling through the forest. He was searching for the peak E-grade monsters. He needs to increase his rank.

As you can guess now, he wasn't in the top 8th. His rank decreased, and he was in the 10th position. What can you say? It was his fault that he wanted to be low-key and didn't want to reveal his full power.

The association didn't reveal the top 10 list for the students. Because many students, after seeing the top 10 list, do something reckless that costs their life. They didn't want that.

Sam finds two Peak E-grade vicious dogs. He did nothing recklessly. First, he searches for those dogs' other teammates. He didn't see any other dog beside them. It was not like they were some intelligent monsters who can hide and ambush someone. The only thing they could do was attack the Prey.

'Thank you, lady luck,' he said this in his mind while he brought out his bow and two spiritual arrows. He previously didn't use his energy mode, but now he was going just like that. These spiritual arrows' color was back and nobody would suspect anything if he attacked with these arrows after coating them in his spiritual energy.

Those two dogs were eating some rabbit monster. It was the perfect chance to attack them. Wasting no time, he shoots arrows toward these two dogs. These two don't even get to know how they died.

Sam collected his arrows and the monster's bodies. He decided he will now return to his base because he was feeling hungry and needed to eat. He came back to his base and went towards the river to clean himself.

He was quite lucky these days because today he once more gets a spiritual plant. Because of this, he was thinking about searching for those spiritual plants and fruits besides hunting monsters. If luck is better, he will get many spiritual plants. Just thinking about getting many rare spiritual plants and fruits makes him laugh. "Hahaha, while others were busy killing monsters, I will be busy collecting those rare spiritual plants. Haha...."

He left the river after finished laughing. But when came in front of his cave, he was speechless. Previously, he didn't notice, but now he clearly saw three different footsteps going towards his cave. He instantly becomes alert. He had previously not sensed anyone, but now he guessed that the other party was hiding. Because of this, he didn't sense them.

He activates his concealment technique and enters the dark cave. He didn't light up the torches. Making no noise, he slowly advances. He doesn't know the other party's motive. If they want to harm him, he will instantly attack them.

This cave was enormous, and there were big rocks where anyone could hide. Because of this, he needed to be extra careful. After searching for a few minutes, he finally found those intruders. Three black figures were now behind a big rock. He slowly went behind them. Those three intruders were now watching toward the entrance.

Sam brings out his knife and presses against one intruder.

"Who are you? What are you all doing in my cave? What is your motive?" Sam asked them.

Those three intruders become surprised that someone, without them sensing, appears behind them. They instantly bring their two hands in the air.

"We didn't mean to invade your cave, but we just didn't have a choice. My two teammates betrayed us and joined the other team. They attack us. I alone can only face them, but because there were 10 warriors against us, my one teammate got injured and we are now waiting for my teammate to recover from his injury." One girl explains to him their situation. By hearing her, it looks like she was the leader.

" Who are you?" Sam asked her.

"My name is Jeni Chaffy. I am from the Royal school. These two are my friends and teammates. She was Tina Hance, and she was Kenny Rem. Kenny is who got injured and we are waiting for her to recover," Jeni introduces herself and also introduces her friends to Sam.

Sam inspected the girl called Kenny. After he was sure that Kenny was seriously injured. He put down his knife. He lit up the fire torches.

Now the dark cave wasn't dark. Those three finally got to see Sam's figure.

"Hello, my name is Sam kainer. I am really sorry for my rude behavior, but I think you can understand," he said to them.

"No problem. We also understand. If someone invades our base, we also do something like this," Jeni told him.

"Did she take a health drink?" Sam asked her while he sat down on the ground.

"No, we are just about to feed the health drink when we hear your footsteps and hide behind the rock," she said, embarrassingly.

"Then what are you waiting for? Quickly feed her the health potion," Sam said seriously.

"Yes," she said, and wasting no time, she quickly fed her the health potion. Tina was supporting Kenny and Jeni to feed her the potion. It was a quite high-grade potion because in just a few minutes her condition got better.

One thing that made him speechless was Kenny's willpower. Even with such injuries, she didn't get unconscious.

Sam brings out the food. He looked at them and asked, "Want to eat something?"

Those three girls look at each other and sit down beside him. They become speechless after seeing him eating. Just a few minutes earlier, he was about to attack them, but now he was eating without caring about the world.

Sam offered them food but Jeni rejected him telling them they also have food. Jeni also brings out the food and with her teammates, they eat. Don't know what happened but after seeing Sam eating they also feel hungry.

[A/N: This is the superpower our foody Sam has. If anyone saw him eating food, they would also become hungry. Haha.. this was the power of food.]

"If you all don't mind, you can share your story with me," Sam told them. He was quite interesting. Who dares to attack her?
