Sam wanted to relax. But his expectations are short lived. Because another accident happened at this moment and this time it is people from the thunder-god temple.
They accidentally provoked a Level-5 beast and that place is too near to the pillar.
The group didn’t move towards the tower since it is too far away and instead ran towards the stone pillar.
All the candidates are alarmed at the roars of the beast and the screams of the people, who are running towards them.
Sam and the others who are relaxing at this moment, woke up from their daze immediately and were on high-alert.
From the roars, Sam was sure that this beast is at least a middle-stage Level 5 beast. its aura was too terrifying to even from this distance.
Sam activated the thermal vision and looked towards the direction where the roars are coming from and from what he saw he was completely stunned.
Just from the silhouette he saw from the thermal vision, he had a few beasts in his mind and no matter which beast this one is, it is not exactly good news.
"We have to escape now." He nudged Watt and both of them immediately caught Philip and Jack before fleeing into the forest. The remaining members are also alerted by Sam’ actions and prepared to flee.
Sam didn’t even bother warning them.
After entering the woods, he stopped for a second and threw everyone into the divine dimension. Watt is not as fast as him. So, it is better this way.
Sam increased his speed to the limit and now he is as fast a Peak level – 5 beasts, but he is still not that confident that he can escape.
Because, if the beast is really what he thinks it is, then there is almost no escape. Because, it is kind of a beast that can be considered as a predator in the Level – 5 beasts. It can fight against the beasts with strength higher than itself.
The main thing is the speed of this beasts is faster than any level-5 beast. its main ability lies in its speed.
So, Sam is not exactly confident.
Then how are the three people able to run away from it? Actually, that is the main factor that made Sam flee immediately. Because he knows of a beast that likes to toy with its prey. It likes to make its prey think that there is the hope of living, but then it would toy the prey to death leaving unsurmountable despair.
At this moment, Sam only wished on things that the beast didn’t take the same route as him.
If not, he can only do one thing and that is to enter the divine dimension and stay there until the beast escaped.
He didn’t dare take out any beasts from the divine dimension, because they are not strong enough and he didn’t bring the vulture, because that bird has yet to know the existence of the divine dimension.
Level-6 beasts have a certain level of intelligence, he doesn’t dare to send a beast which he didn’t have enough familiarity and trust into the divine dimension.
There is also another beast, the termite queen, but it is not suitable for a head-on confrontation, rather it is suitable for an ambush.
Sam felt glad that he remembered the map completely. He escaped towards the tower and only heaved a sigh after he entered it.
Even though the beast was not after him, he didn’t dare to stop. He just came back to the tower on instinct.
After reaching the tower, he let the remaining three out.
They also looked at the familiar tower walls and sighed.
They didn’t see the beast, but from Sam’s reaction, they could feel that this beast is truly dangerous.
"Just cultivate and breakthrough. We need to increase our strength as much as we can. We cannot simply run away. For now, let us not bother about Hawk. I highly doubt that the inheritance will throw him in such a dangerous place after the tests are over.
Focus on cultivation. I will see what we have to do from tomorrow."
After that, Sam took out the corpse of the boar. He also needs to speed up the process of cultivation and due to the beast cultivation, rather than absorbing the spiritual energy of beasts, he is better off getting spiritual energy through the consumption of food.
Since he has a Level-4 peak level of food, it will be great nutrition.
When the remaining three people saw the corpse, Sam said.
"It is poisoned. Don’t even think about eating it."
Sam cut open the belly of the boar and while cleaning it, he found something interesting. Inside the body of the boar, he found a spatial ring.
It was fixed into the spine of the boar is a small corner.
Sam took out the ring and looked into it. He found a bunch of scrolls and books inside.
Most of the scrolls are some consumables that can be used as traps to hunt.
Every trap is related to earth usage.
All one has to do is, open the scroll and place it on the ground where they want to activate the trap and inject some spiritual energy into it.
Then the trap would activate and any living being that entered the trap would be done for.
There are three books in total.
Two of them are filled with the theory behind the traps and the last one is a design theory of some other formation. This one is a large-scale defensive formation and Sam was amazed by it.
After examining it for a while, he finally understood what the words of Murali meant. There is a treasure accompanied by every danger.
He placed them aside and started roasting the boar
He let out Mia and both of them ate everything. Their spiritual energy increased.
With this, he had an idea. If he goes to the wild and hunts some stray Level-4 beasts with his beasts, he might be able to advance faster than now.
But when he was about to take the beasts out on the island, they were completely blocked just like the night they arrived here.
This also raised some suspicions. He was able to leave the tower without any obstructions, he went to the shallow water at the cliff and then let Yanwu out, there he came out, but when he tried to enter the island itself, he wasn’t able to do so.
There seemed to be some sort of restriction placed so that their pets cannot help them on the island. Sam felt glad about one thing though and that is his decision to flee without counting on his beasts to fight that beast earlier, otherwise, he would have been in big trouble.
Sam went back to the tower. He only has one choice, he has to break through by spiritual energy, because, hunting the beasts is not yet a feasible option.
The absorption of spiritual energy is a slower option.
Right now, he can do nothing but absorb as much as he can. But after some thought, he has a new idea.
He took out the cylinder he used to kill Oscar. He sat at the corner of the tower and then activate the fire and started bathing himself in it.
Since the fire is essentially made of spiritual energy, if he can consume this flame, his spiritual energy might increase.
So, he and Yanwu tried this and after finding out that it is indeed feasible, he and Yanwu went on with it.
Within a few hours, he had a minor breakthrough. This is due to the fact that he acc.u.mulated spiritual energy from the past month.
But he could clearly feel the spiritual energy from this fire is indeed effective. He and Yanwu absorbed it while he shared it with Sky and Mia.
Until the sunrise, Sam was constantly cultivating under that fire.
He just discovered a new way of cultivation suitable for him.
This is just like how beasts could advance faster in an environment with an extremely high-level presence of their elemental energy.
He wasn’t able to take the flame at full intensity, so until he can do that, he can cultivate using that flame.
He found yet another advantage of his beast cultivation.
The next day, Sam went to the top floor of the tower and noticed that the stone plaque that emerges was also glowing in a similar way as the stone pillar. But it is glowing more than half from the bottom.
Sam didn’t bother with it much and went out again. This time, he didn’t let anyone else come with him.
He alone went out on harbinger. He has to map the island no matter what. His future plans are completely dependent on them.
When Sam went towards the left side territory, he saw the remains of a person. His head and some bones are the only things left. When he took a closer look, he recognized the person to be from team Arian.
The beast must have eaten him up here.
He left the place and continued with his mapping.
