Sam is still standing on the tree and is thinking about what to do next.

But the people from the beast faction and the Herb garden are having the hardest time of their life.

Their first ambush on the four monkey warriors is actually not something difficult and it is well planned which led them to extreme success.

They completed the task with minimum injuries and wanted to deal with the remaining in the same fashion. They even wanted to increase the number of monkey warriors they lured.

But at that moment, a monkey warrior came running towards them, with a wound on his right hand and when the monkey warrior saw them, it went berserk without any form of hesitation.

The monkey warrior is hurting a lot and it doesn't have any care for the number of opponents it is going to face. The group which has just joined is looking at the monkey warrior with a peculiar expression.

They didn't know where this monkey warrior came from. After all, since they lured four of them out, then it should take some time to fill the group back in before monkey warriors came outside.

They might assume that the addition is fast, but they could explain the injury on the monkey warrior. Before they think deeply about it, they decided to take the monkey down first, but before they could even make a move, they saw two other monkey warriors running towards them, they frowned.

There are seven of them in total and they can deal with three of them directly but the direct confrontation is actually time-consuming with these beasts with their extremely high resistance, they would have to use trump cards.

But since they believed that the area is clear of other people, they decided to take on the beasts but just before they were about to beat them, they saw something horrible. There is a group of four monkey warriors whose faces are filled with rage and anger trampling on all the plants and destroying every tree they can in their way.

It wouldn't take a genius to know that these beasts are on a rampage and this small distraction made three beasts counterattack.

Now there are seven beasts for the seven cultivators, whether they like it or not, they have to deal with beast singlehandedly.

They felt vexed, they don't want to use up all their strength, even though the monkey warriors are tough opponents, they can beat them in a one on one fight, but that fight would be like a battle of two geniuses, it will take a long time and more energy, that is why they resorted to ambush. Even Sam doesn't have an easy time with the beasts.

But now, they are forced to fight.

Sam doesn't know that his provocations are making it hard for the cultivators of the Herb garden and the Beast faction.

But he couldn't care less.

At this moment, he is thinking whether it is a good idea to provoke the rest of the groups in the same manner.

But he is worried that if he didn't deal with the beasts fast enough, that large group would really rage and destroy the whole place.

He has many escape means, but he doesn't want to use them, the more abilities he used before the people of other major powers, the more likely he would be caught.

While he was contemplating, Sam looked around. It is already evening and the sun is set. It is slowly getting dark. Sam activated the night vision as he looked around. The Monkey warriors who occasionally come out didn't wander too much, they casually picked a direction and are slowly wandering the whole forest, unlike the berserk ones which are going in a straight line.

As Sam is checking the surroundings, he saw the seven cultivators clashing with the seven monkey warriors. Although the fight is on equal terms, three of the Monkey warriors took some serious damage before the other four joined them and three of them are injured by Sam's bullets already.

So, there is no way they can overpower the candidates and after some hard struggle, the candidates won. But they took some injuries and they didn't even move towards the Origin place as they decided to rest for a bit.

Everyone is popping pills and healing themselves as they recovered.

Sam suddenly got an idea and a wicked smile appeared on his face.

He didn't make a move and just stood on the tree quietly. After around an hour, the group started walking towards the Origin place.

Sam smiled and once again aimed at another group of Monkey warriors, He aimed for the head and the head exploded with a bang.

The remaining nine monkeys looked towards his direction in a mad frenzy and before they could react, another head was blasted and this made the monkey warriors even angrier.

But this second shot also allowed me to narrow down the location.

Then the eight of them moved towards the tree, but at this moment another bullet was shot another monkey was gone just like that.

The monkey warriors are extremely sure of where the bullets are coming from. Sam also didn't bother to hide anymore and started shooting, the monkey warriors became vigilant so they are able to avoid the headshots.

That is the drawback of a sniper, once they shot too many bullets from the same spot, the opponents can find their location and they would have a hard time hitting, but still, Sam was able to get some shoulder shots, chest shots, and so on.

The damage is not too much, but it definitely reduced their combat effectiveness.

By the time, the Monkey warriors arrived at his tree, five of seven are injured.

Sam immediately used the shadow transfer and moved back to another tree.

The monkey warriors are stunned by a movement, but their keen battle instincts allowed them to find where Sam is, immediately.

Sam didn't fight them or shoot them anymore. He just transfers from one tree to another silently. There are no signs of him and if one didn't observe they wouldn't even know a person is there.

And soon, the Monkey warriors raged at the same time, the group of seven also released a shriek of horror.

Seven opponents once again and this time there are more.

Before they could think about what is happening, the beasts attacked them without a care for the world.

Another battle started and this time, it will take less time than the previous one because more than half of them are damaged, so the candidates can handle them quickly.

As they are stuck in the battle, Sam once again went back to the same tree and once again stood there, as he watched the battle with the night vision on.

He doesn't want to spend a lot of time being chased by the monkey warriors, so he decided to use the group of seven to do his bidding.

After all, they are here anyway, it would be a waste to not use their abilities before eliminating them.

Sam waited until the battle is over and once again let them heal.

As they are concentrating on healing, they also started discussing, two waves of attacks, it is not normal.

"What do you think is happening now? Those two groups of monkey warriors are certainly not normal."

The 'man' from the herb garden asked others.

The rest of them are silent for a second and didn't reply, after a brief silence one of them said.

"Is it possible that other groups are provoking them to wear us out?"

"Not likely, if that is true, now is the best time for them to take action. But no one is here."

"Then do you think, the beasts encountered someone powerful and escaped to this side?"

"It seems to be too far-fetched, from what I know the other groups are camping at the other gathering places. They don't have that much time to come and hunt here and the other places cannot be considered as close."

As they thought of many speculations, they only have one decision and that is to go to the place and see what exactly is happening with their own eyes.

They can only come to a conclusion after they saw it.

So, a few hours went by and it is just a bit away from the dawn. At this moment, they cautiously moved towards the origin place and they even maintained a good amount of distance between themselves.

But the wave of monkey warriors came all the same.

They couldn't help but feel frustrated.

After they defeated this, the same break time and by the time the sun rose another wave came.

After dealing with it, they almost wanted to give up. But they suddenly thought of something one of them spoke.

"I think this is one of the trials. Do you guys remember how the monkey warrior corpses disappear as soon as we touch?" He asked with enthusiasm, he is none other than the chosen one of the Beast- faction.

Everyone nodded and he continued.

"That means they are not real I think these injured monkey warriors are also like that, they are also not real and they might be part of a trial that gives us the treasure of that place. If we clear the test, we might win a treasure."

As soon as he said that, all of them who had wanted to leave this place and abandon thoughts to searching those buildings, suddenly felt refreshed.

If Sam would have heard, he would have thanked him many times. He was also worried that these people would leave.

Now that they seem to be more determined Sam aimed the rifle back at the last monkey Warrior group.
