Chapter 64: Treasure Hunt 2

"Run, They are catching up." Screamed Sophia as she ran towards Zoel and Ezra, who quickly reacted.

"Damn, How did they find us so fast?" Cursed Zoel.

Soon the sound of trees breaking was heard behind them, and the ground trembled as if it was an earthquake.

"They are here, quick." Screamed Ezra as he looked at Sophia behind him.

The next second at least dozens of giant black spiders could be seen chasing after them and the trio couldn't help but curse their maker.

"Look, there is a river, run to the right." Said Ezra and the other two also followed after him. If they were outside this jungle, those spiders wouldn't be their match but here, they had no abilities and were just like any normal human.

So, they could only run right now like they have been running for the 2 whole days since they've entered this godforsaken forest.

> 2 days ago <

As their captors finally brought them to what looked like an Aboriginal camp, they were thrown into the cages and left to their devices.

What surprised the trio was that they weren't the only ones in the cages but all the members from the other two groups were also there.

Looking at each other's embarrassing appearances the situation quickly became awkward as no one knew what to say.

Even though the group couldn't use their powers, they didn't sit idle to wait for death.

Thankfully, they always had some hidden weapons on them and basic survival training.

First to break free from the bounds was Sophia, while Ezra and Zoel were just a second behind her.

Looking at their actions, the other two groups couldn't help feeling jealous but hopeful at the same time.

Of course, they were just naive, who would help their rivals when their life depended on it?

The wooden cage that they were in wasn't that sturdy so the trio quickly sewed through it and broke out of the cage.

Just as they were about to run they heard voices from behind.

"Big sister, big brother don't leave us here, we are all fellow humans please help us." Said the girl about the age of 15. She wore all white clothes and looked just like a pure white lotus.

Any other person would feel sorry for her and wouldn't just leave but the trio weren't just any people, what kind of pure white lotuses have they not seen before? How can this half-assed acting trick them?

So without so much as a blink the trio simultaneously turned around and left, Sophia didn't even forget to add fuel to the fire and even waved her hand to the group.

"Bye-bye."

At this, the girl almost coughs up blood from anger and embarrassment. Due to her image and status, she was used to always being taken care of. Where had she ever suffered so much before? Remembering Sophia's last wave, her heart couldn't help giving birth to resentment.

The cannibals quickly found out about the group's escape and because of the disturbance the other captives made after their departure, they chased right after the trio.

Zoel, Sophia, and Ezra ran like headless chickens, knowing that's all they could do at the moment.

Unfortunately, the jungle was dead set on picking a fight with them so, no matter where they went they somehow picked up new groups of pursuers on the way.

At this moment they have already managed to piss off a group of cannibals, a group of giant spiders, an angry bear, a group of eagles, and last but not least they've even managed to piss off an entire nest of large blood-sucking ants.

After being on the run for two consecutive days, seeing a river was like seeing an oasis in a desert, And sure enough, the trio jumped right into it without so much as giving it a second thought.

When they saw that the previously ferocious pursuers were now looking at them with clear helplessness and even a bit of fear they felt it was weird but also felt kind of proud.

Even though they felt this way for a bit, Zoel, Ezra, and Sophia weren't people that were easily blinded by arrogance, instead, their vigilance has been trained since childhood and even in such an environment, they could still stay clear-headed.

Sure enough, not even 5 minutes have gone since they've managed to get rid of the threat as their safety was once again under question.

Zole was first to feel an increase in water currents, he knew it was bad news right away and tried to grab any rock on the way or at least move towards the side of the river, but the power of nature was never something to underestimate.

As the river played them as it pleased new wounds started to appear on their skin, but the main attraction was yet to come.

"What's ...that... sound?" Screamed Sophia at her teammates as the water covered her head in between the words, making it hard to speak.

"What?" Hearing her question, the other two's attention was also attracted as they tried to listen to their surroundings. Soon, they also heard the sound of water even louder than the river, next second the same terrifying thought ran through their mind. They desperately tried to escape the river and move ashore, alas lady luck was really not on their side today.

After countless waterfalls and almost drowning incidents, they finally managed to survive and passed out right after coming ashore, completely exposed and unaware of the dangers lurking in the shadows.

Meanwhile, the other members of their group that watched all of this happen outside couldn't help but feel worried for them, especially Shio.

The only person who happily and comfortably slept in Samael's arms unaware of the weird gazes she received was Morana. As her main concern at the moment was to catch that chocolate bar that was running away from her in her dreams.
