Chapter 12: The Hope Society and the Trap
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
George and Martin would have already started a fight if there was a big difference in their strength.
At that moment, Martin’s expression changed, and he pulled the reins.
The horse neighed, and the carriage stopped.
“What’s wrong?” Sam stuck his head out of the carriage, and his eyes immediately widened. A carriage with the bauhinia flower flag was blocking the road, and corpses were lying on the ground beside the carriage.
“Bauhinia flower flag?” Sam cried out in surprise. He seemed so surprised that his voice cracked. “How is that possible? Is it the Hope Society’s carriage? They were attacked so close to the fort?!”
The other two students in the carriage couldn’t sit still anymore upon hearing his voice.
Jones kicked Sam’s butt.
Sam rolled off the carriage and stood up. He was so shocked that he couldn’t care much about what Jones just did to him.
Jones, who had always been cold and expressionless, was also surprised when she saw the carriage with the bauhinia flower flag on it.
Everyone knew that the Hope Society was the strongest organization in the Human Alliance. It was responsible for guarding the fortress and protecting the elites of the human race. It was also responsible for exploring the monsters and going deep into the wilderness.
The fortresses of the Human Alliance were not close to each other, but they were still able to communicate with each other and transmit information and resources. They relied on the Hope Society.
Only the members of the Hope Society dared to cross the wilderness in the middle of each fortress.
Now, the Hope Society’s carriage had been attacked by the monsters less than thirty miles away outside the fortress.
George and Martin’s faces were a little gloomy. The road was not wide enough, and the thick trees on both sides blocked the road.
The carriage they were riding on could not pass through at all.
George stared at his surroundings. He had been in and out of the wilderness so many times, and he knew very well that some high-level monsters had intelligence and could set traps to hunt humans.
The Hope Society’s carriage that was blocking the road might be a trap, so he had to be constantly on guard against monsters that came out from the surrounding.
“Martin, I’ll move that carriage. Take care of the students.” George knew that delay could lead to change, so he jumped off the carriage.
“Wait!” Martin stopped George and said anxiously, “Do you want to die? It’s easy for you to get ambushed when you move the carriage! Let’s change another way of crossing this place. I’ll put away the carriage, and we’ll go through it together, and then…”
George interrupted him before he could finish his words.
“It’s too late! If there’s a monster ambush, abandoning the carriage is equivalent to exposing the weak students to the monsters. It’s hard to protect them well. Listen to me.”
After saying that, George didn’t want to give Martin another chance to speak, and walked directly to the carriage with the bauhinia flower flag on it.
Although his walking speed wasn’t slow, he was extremely cautious. The muscles of his body were kept in an erupted state at all times so that he could avoid danger at once.
Although everyone in the carriage was worried about Mr. George, they did not dare to stare at him because they were not safe either. They also needed to be constantly on guard against the attacks of monsters around them. Everyone was looking in one direction vigilantly.
“Mr. Martin!” Sam lowered his voice, but it was still a little trembling.
Martin snorted. “Hmm?”
“There are green lights in the forest!” Sam said.
A breeze blew in the forest, and the leaves rustled, making a strange sound in the quiet night.
Martin glanced at it and said with a gloomy face, “Don’t worry about it. Keep an eye on it. And you guys, too. Mobilize your spiritual energy and be ready to attack at any time.”
Then he paused and added, “William, although your Endowed Supernatural Ability is low, it’s still better than nothing. I don’t need anything from you. Just follow us closely and don’t hold us back.”
Although the atmosphere was tense, Sam still laughed out when he heard this.
At this time, George had already arrived at the side of the carriage, and his body was emitting a faint blue light.
That was the external performance of mobilizing spiritual energy. He would absorb all kinds of spiritual energy in the world to strengthen his Endowed Supernatural Ability after reaching the Supernal Rank. Not only that, but it would also increase the limit of his body.
Spiritual energy could allow a person without muscles to casually punch out a force of over ten thousand catties.
However, the increase of spiritual energy relied more on Endowed Supernatural Ability. Just like William’s F-Class Lizard Bloodline could not reach the peak of the Supernal Rank, even if he worked hard to death.
If it was the top grade SSS-Class Endowed Supernatural Ability, it would be full of spiritual energy and at the peak of the Supernal Rank the moment it was awakened.

This difference was not only when it was awakened, but also when it came to cultivation. F-Class Endowed Supernatural Ability was slow and ineffective to cultivate, while SSS-Class Endowed Supernatural Ability could break through bottlenecks and reach a higher level with just a little cultivation.
George’s Endowed Supernal Ability was a C-Class, and he had already reached the peak of Supernal Rank and was only one step away from Earth Rank. That was because he did not have too many resources and could only rely on himself to work hard.
It was clear that he was working hard.
George only used his spiritual energy to strengthen his strength and did not use his Endowed Supernatural Ability.
He pushed the carriage while keeping an eye on his surroundings.
The others also held their breaths unconsciously.
Suddenly, William panicked. It was not because he was afraid, but because he sensed that something was rapidly approaching Mr. George within twenty-five meters.
“Mr. George!” William reminded loudly. The thing that was emitting a green light had already rushed behind George just as he shouted these two words.
George was prepared. A pale blue light flashed behind him, and he immediately activated his Endowed Supernatural Ability.
“Ice Field Snow Wolf!”
A huge wolf that was even bigger than a carriage appeared behind George. This Ice Field Snow Wolf’s fur was as white as snow, and it was fierce with a hint of majesty. However, William felt that this wolf’s gaze was very similar to a dog breed called husky in his previous life.
The Ice Field Snow Wolf bit the green figure the moment it appeared. The wolf shook its head and raised one of its claws as if it wanted to tear the monster apart.
That was the first time William had seen Mr. George use his Endowed Supernatural Ability. Only then did he know that Mr. George was also a Summoning Category Endowed Supernatural Ability.
Moreover, he had summoned such a fierce and cute thing.
Mr. George did not pay attention to what was hapenning behind him. He pushed hard with both hands, and the carriage that was in the middle of the road was pushed into the forest. The path was cleared, and he quickly waved at Martin.
“Hyah!”
Martin waved his horsewhip, and the horsewhip hit on the horse’s butt and created a loud sound.
Everyone in the carriage stared at the surroundings.
“Mr. Martin, they seem to be unable to hold on any longer!” Sam reminded.
William also noticed that the green lights in the forest were getting restless, and the number was more and more.
Soon, the surrounding forest was surrounded by green lights.
The carriage moved towards George, and George jumped up onto the carriage.
“Go! Get out of here quick!”
