As Arvin was running towards his destination he sensed that beings from before that were coming his way had changed their direction again and now we’re coming towards his again. As Arvin sensed that he got confused. Were these things following him? He could not tell what kind of beings these guys were but, it was clear that these were tracking him. 

Arvin thought that he should increase his speed. If these are good trackers then they would be able to find him wherever he goes. As he did not have time to waste in covering his tracks the best option for him now would be to increase his speed and get to his destination as soon as possible. So Arvin started to increase his speed a little by little. He had been saving his stamina for a moment like this. Thus he started speeding up…

After half an hour of running at full speed, Arvin finally couldn’t sense those beings behind him. But still, he didn’t slow down. If he was right then he was getting closer and close to the pyramid. And soon he would be able to reach it. So it would be foolishness to slow down now. But that was a mistake. While running fast, it was a little hard to keep track of the little details in the surrounding. So it could be said that although Arvin’s guard was still up, it didn’t have the same defensive capabilities it used to have…

While running, Arvin crossed a tripwire. As Arvin sensed that he had just crossed a trip, it was too late.

BOOOM

An explosion occurred just on the left side of Arvin. That explosion flung Arvin to his right. It was a lethal explosion. If Arvin would have been able to utilize his mana then he would have covered his full body with mana. That could have at least lessened the damage to some sort. But as he was not able to use his mana that explosion hurt his left side real bad. Most of his left arm was burned. While his head was spinning like crazy and his ears were ringing very loudly.

It took about a min or two for Arvin to get hold of himself. It was then he was assaulted by the pain of burning. He looked towards his left arm and as he saw that burned side, he understood that his left side is useless for now. He had read in the books that there were potions that could mend severely burned arms and legs. So he did not have to worry about that for now. But he had to do something about the pain. 

Arvin then opened his inventory and started treating himself. From the first floor till now he had not been very active in combat. And he hardly got wounded like this before. So all the medical supplies that he had collected till now were collecting dust in his inventory…

Thinking about the future Arvin collected all the medical supplies that he could. And in that huge stockpile for the medical supplies, he had some things that could help treat such a severe burn. So first Arvin pooped some pain killers for the pain. . That belt would act Then he brought a bottle of expensive whiskey and had some sips of it. Then he brought out what looked like a leather belt from his inventory. He folded the belt and shoved it in his mouth. That belt would act as a mouth guard for what was about to happen. Then he poured the other half of the bottle into his hand. He did this as the whiskey would act as a disinfectant. And then he started applying a white lotion type thingy all over his hand…

The whiskey and the painkillers helped with some of the pain. But they still weren’t able to get rid of all of the pain. Plus when applying the white lotion on his burn wounds, Arvin felt that the pain that he was feeling multiplied. Arvin whimpered and screamed with the pain while he was applying the whole lotion. But that leather belt helped to suppress his screams.

After everything, Arvin’s left arm was still paining like hell. But he knew that he didn’t have a lot of time left. He had to get out of there. Arvin got up and tried to run. But his body was in no condition to run. He was in a lot of pain. So all that he could do at the moment was to drag his feet behind and slowly walk. But as Arvin walking, it was then he heard another explosion behind him. As he heard the explosion behind him, he understood that someone must have tripped on another booby trap.

It was then Arvin realized that the sound of the explosion came from the back. That meant whatever was blown away by that mine was behind him. It was then he remembered that previously he had sensed some beings that were tracking him. Arvin then tried to remember how much time had passed since the explosion? How much did he take to do first aid?

  As Arvin couldn’t get an appropriate answer, he understood that he had to run. There was no way in hell he could outnumber or outmaneuver 50 beings in this condition. So Arvin started running again. 

His body was aching but still, he couldn’t stop now. It was then Arvin felt some killing intent in the air. Then he sensed that a projectile was coming his way. He immediately ducked towards his right. The projectile that was coming towards Arvin, slammed into the tree that was in front of Arvin. He then looked at the projectile and he was shocked by what he saw. He saw that a two-handed ax had slammed itself in front of the tree. First Arvin was shocked by the fact that someone was able to throw the ax that big. And with this much accuracy. This was simply unbelievable…

AAAAOOOOOOOAAAAA

Arvin heard a roar. It was not a typical roar of a tiger, wolf, or lion. It was more like a scream. And it came from the direction from where the ax came flying towards Arvin. He then looked towards the general direction and it was then he saw it. In that general direction, Arvin saw a huge white baboon. He was huge. If Arvin would have guessed it then while standing on his hind leg, the baboon would have been around 7 feet high. And the way the baboon was staring at Arvin, it had started giving Arvin chills.

It was then Arvin remembered the baboons that he killed earlier. They were also white color baboons. But they were smaller in size. So it seems that he had accidentally killed some of the kids of that monkey right there…

As the baboon saw that Arvin was also staring back at him, he started beating his chest like king kong. And then he screamed once again…

AAAAOOOOOO

But this time as he screamed, his scream was accompanied by screams of various baboons was his group. The screams of the baboons reverberated through the whole forest area. As Arvin heard those baboons, he started to run. Hearing the screams of all these baboons alone was enough to make him shudder in fear. 

The baboon that threw the ax showed that these baboons were in fact indeed powerful. As they had the advantage of numbers it would become very hard for Arvin to handle them. So all he could do now was move…

As Arvin was running away from the pack of baboons, he started hearing rustling noises from the tree from behind him. The baboons seemed to be following and they were really close. Suddenly he started sensing projectiles coming his way from behind. Arvin ducked and jumped to avoid them. He got a glimpse of the projectiles and it turns out that these projectiles were spears. 

As he saw that the baboons were using weapons to fight him, he understood that this time he would not be able to out-maneuver these animals. He may have to use his trump card to kill those damned monkeys. Now, all that Arvin needed now was a chance. He understood that he would get only one chance to use his trump card. But if he does this then he would need to kill as many baboons as he can. 

As Arvin was thinking that he should his trump card, an explosion took place on his far left. As he saw that he understood that some monkey must have tripped a booby trap. Then he heard another explosion from behind and then just a few seconds later he heard his far-right…

Listening to those explosions Arvin started to think that maybe the lady luck have not given up on him yet.
