Chapter 503: Hunt
The day of the fight. It has been one and a half months since Sam came to this place.
And almost all of this time was spent in the Arena, today he is coming out of the Arena for the first time.
But, it was completely useless as he couldn't find a way to remember the route or surroundings because he was seated in a closed carriage which doesn't have any windows and has restrictions placed on it, so he cannot reach out his spiritual sense.
After a long journey, Sam was let out and he arrived right in the middle of the woods.
These woods are not too dense, but they are clearly not some normal grasslands. The presence of Level-6 beasts can be found anywhere, at least that is what Sam was told.
After leaving him at the edge of the woods, the carriage and the guardian who is beside the carriage stayed there and gave Sam a token.
"The area of the woods is covered by a formation laid by a consummate level formation master.
So, don't think about running away. Of course, the boss said you wouldn't do that, but I am saying this for the sake of saying.
You can only come out with this token and there are only some points in the formation that all you to pass through.
If you try to force your way through from any other point, you will die."
With that, he waved his hands and the Bee-Puppet appeared.
The Bee-puppet was locked on Sam as it followed him into the formation.
This time's fight is a hunt. Although no one knew who the hunter and who the prey yet.
At this moment, the arena's top is closed, it is completely dark and the audience is still seated in their own seats with a crystal screen before them.
The normal audience has a screen for three to four seats and VIPs have a screen for one seat each.
They are watching it intently and this time, they smelled an aromatic wine and roasted meat being brought by the attendants, so they didn't even think twice before buying it.
In the large screen, there are different sections and the larger section in the middle is focusing on Sam, while the smaller sections around it are the rest of the fighters in the patch of the wood.
Actually, the area that is enclosed within the forest is not too big. It is actually quite small and they could cover the whole area within half an hour if they traveled at a full speed.
So, they cannot hide from each other and can only fight head-on.
They are watching this intently as they looked at Sam and the Silver ranked and gold-ranked fighters who just entered the forest.
They are waiting for the first clash, but they didn't have to wait for long, because, Sam already moved like fish in the water as soon as he entered the forest.
He is agile like a monkey as he jumped from tree to tree with minimum effort and started searching for his opponents carefully.
There are a total of eighteen opponents to him at this moment.
And within the first five minutes, he encountered his first opponent.
Sam didn't even bother to sneak up on him and directly appeared in front of him, the Silver ranked fighter who saw Sam was startled for a second but braced himself for a tough fight.
But his anticipated fight was nowhere to be seen, he was already done for as soon as Sam made his first move.
Sam made the opponent unconscious and searched for his token. This is his task, any person without a token inside the formation will be suppressed by the formation and if he can rob them off of this, it would consider his win.
At this moment, the audience is clapping at his first successful hunt, but they also noticed something else.
The six screens that are covering the Gold-ranked fighters brought attracted their attention.
Because, they are all moving in the same direction, to the center of the forest. And soon they noticed that all six of them formed a group and are waiting for Sam to come.
The audience were riled up at this.
It is already supposed to be unfair to Sam, but these people already thought grouping up even before the match and they successfully did so in the first ten minutes, they didn't expect this from gold-ranked fighters.
But at the same time, they are quite excited about this. They wanted to have Sam fight the toughest battles to see his full strength and this might as well be their perfect opportunity.
But what they didn't notice is that Sam is not just moving around aimlessly, while he is tracking his opponents, he is also looking for something else on the trees, that is why he is only traveling on trees and he is touching every single tree in the path as he made his way forward.
Since the area is too small, Sam doesn't have much hope for this plan, but still he didn't want to give up.
He went through all the trees as he took down two more opponents.
After some more search, he was finally able to see some traces of what he wanted. But he didn't make his move immediately.
He looked around noticed that a large deer habitat is nearby, he lured one out and killed it before starting to prepare the meat and the pelt. As Sam is skinning the large body while sprawling over it, what no one noticed is that the crystal came out of his mouth and a black shadow carried it away from the carcass without letting the bee puppet catching its movement.
Of course, that is because Sam is the one controlling the Bee-puppet at this moment, the puppet would bypass all the commands of others as long as Sam said so.
As he delightedly put on a show to the screen, something else is happening right behind the puppet.
Mia came out and started exerting her pressure, she is the only one who doesn't have any negative effects from this environment.
As she used her pressure to the most and used the divine dimension crystal to collect a hornet's nest on the tree.
The hornet's nest is large and is as big as an adult male, but the hornets are weak and powerless, just a little bigger than the regular hornets.
After mia collected them, she went back into the divine dimension and inside the divine dimension, the termite queen is having a talk with the hornet queen.
Sam finished his meal and made his move. And in that move, what no one noticed is that he swallowed a crystal in a flash.
He was done with the things at hand and resumed his hunt.
For the next two hours, Sam became busy with beating the crap out of all his opponents and finally, he arrived at the center of the forest where the six gold-ranked fighters are waiting for him.
The sixth one is the newly promoted one, he was silver ranked for the past few days.
As he moved there, now almost all screens are just showing this scene.
This is the final battle for this hunt.
But this time, Sam didn't directly confront the six of them, they are staying in a formation and are waiting for Sam.
Sam is looking at them from the hiding.
He smirked at the fact that these six members formed a group just to deal with him and all of a sudden, energy surged in his body and slowly his body started converting into a mass of silver lightning.
He has activated the fusion, but he couldn't complete the fusion, at this moment his fusion is only eighty percent complete, but that is enough for now.
Sam made his move, he kicked the trunk of the tree he was standing on and disappeared with a silver flash as he zoomed towards the nearest opponent.
He didn't punch or kick, he just slammed himself straight into him like a lightning strike, but this guy is on his guard and was completely defensive, tried his best to defend the impact.
So, he wasn't down in a single attack, but he looked rather haggard and it would be hard to say if he would survive another attack.
The rest of the group grew alert and looked at the lightning flash that disappeared into the woods once again as soon as it entered the woods, the lightning disappeared.
That is because Sam deactivated the fusion to hide and move normally.
As the group changed the formation and got ready to take Sam head-on, they felt something coming from the rear and as soon as they saw it, they were stunned. Because the lightning flash that disappeared to their right is coming from their back at this moment.
