Chapter 269: Gorilla
Chapter 269: Gorilla
Fourth day on the island, Sam was done mapping three-fourth of the whole island. On the fourth day, he saw that candidates from the other towers are starting to come out slowly to look for some stray beasts they can feast on.
As cultivators, they can indeed live on with the spiritual energy, but that is not feasible in earlier stages, they have to be stronger, far stronger to completely survive on the spiritual energy alone.
So, then have no choice but to hunt, but they didn’t dare to hunt brazenly. These arrogant geniuses finally got a reality check after that night.
They didn’t even dare to move alone past the tower even if it is in the very close vicinity of the tower.
On this day, Sam came back to the tower so that he can map the three territories completely, it is already noon. Before coming here, he went to check on the stone pillar and the blue glow almost covered the whole pillar.
After coming back, he checked the top floor stone plaque and it turned out same. It is also almost filled.
As he was thinking what would happen, suddenly another bright flashed at another place in the island. At the same time another plaque emerged in the top floor of the tower.
Sam came downstairs and immediately moved. They started their journey and this time, Sam didn’t use normal method, he threw them inside the divine dimension and took all of them on his own.
Within twenty minutes he is near the light and he saw a familiar stone pillar there.
He is the first to come here.
After arriving, he took out some formation discs and started placing them in the surroundings, he didn’t want to be the victim of other’s stupidity. But this time, they cannot just escape at will. At least, not before one of them entered the stone pillar.
After more than half an hour later, the remaining teams started coming one after another. Only after the people from the four teams came did the string of words appeared.
“Metal force Inheritance.
Suitable for Metal element users. Warrior mages are preferable.” Sam looked at the string of words which almost looked like an advertisement for recruiting employees and didn’t even know what to think of that.
He looked at Philip, who is the only person who can use metal element and gestured him to go first.
He looked at the Arian team which is missing one person.
Their mood is quite gloomy and they seemed to have been affected quite a bit.
As for the people who need to go to the inheritance, only the person from the thunder god temple seemed to be having a suitable candidate.
It is rare for people with metal element in these types of elite teams.
After they talked within themselves, nobody wanted to take this chance because they don’t want to lose a chance to enter a suitable inheritance that might appear later.
But the leaders used forced them and chose the least useful person to enter that.
Sam didn’t think much of it.
These people probably just wanted to see if there is anything like weapons or skill books inside, they can be used for their organizations.
They knew that without the element it is almost impossible for them to gain it, but they don’t want to take any chances.
After they entered the stone pillar, remaining people didn’t stay there at all.
They already learned their lesson and they don’t want to experience that again.
Sam already gave some formation discs and grenades to Philip. Even if he appeared right here when there is beast, even if he couldn’t defeat it, he can still create some distraction and hold on for a while until Sam came here.
He went to the tower first and left Watt and Jack there before returning to the last remaining part of the territory which he has yet to explore.
Today, this will be completed.
That night, Sam finally finished the exploration and is going back to the tower, he noticed that the beasts started becoming more vigilant and their movements became more and more diverse. He didn’t see any tracks of these beasts on the first day of exploration.
He felt that this is a one time thing, but the next morning he noticed the movements of the beasts near the vicinities of the tower increase.
There is only one thing he can deduce from this. The beasts might have noticed the new presence that was added due to them coming here. They started noticing on them which is not exactly a good thing.
At least for now, they are only Level 4 beasts that are coming here, so, they don’t have to deal with much threats, but it wouldn’t take long before the Level-5 beasts enter this region.
Even if they are inside the tower and safe there, they are not here for being safe, they are here for inheritance.
They had to go out no matter what.
Sam had to make his preparations and he had to do it fast. Things will get really scary.
At this moment, there is a reaction on the top floor of the tower and when they went there, they saw the plaque that appeared when the first inheritance appeared.
The Plaque brightened with a blue glow, Sam got ready to move, if this is a sign Hawk would appear, there is a chance he would come out near the lake, he might not make it back safely.
But before he could make a move, Hawk appeared out of that blue glow.
He heaved a sigh of relief.
Seems like this Murali still has some conscience.
He didn’t ask him about the inheritance, rather he checked for the injuries or any other anomalies, before leaving himself be.
He went back down stairs and started preparing the map.
The map mainly consists of the routes they should take, the position of the solo-level five beast territories, the habitats and some traps he discovered.
With all these info, they can avoid many dangers. Of course, they couldn’t be fully confident that there is no danger, the beasts might appear suddenly in their supposedly safe routes, but this is better than nothing.
Sam and Watt moved out and started their preparations. Since, he came here, he had to maximize his gains no matter what and the first step towards it is to clear al the supposed dangers that are available in his own territory.
For this, the first targets are obviously the weakest ones. The Level-4 beasts and first choice are the ones which roam freely rather than the groups and habitats.
There are at most 35 solo beasts in the vicinity, out of them twenty-two of them are Level-4 beasts.
He had to choose one beast after another carefully.
That day, Watt and Sam are moving to deal with their first target.
It’s a gorilla.
A metal element gorilla. This is called Dark steel gorilla and this is also a close combat type beast just like the Golden fur ape.
This beast also has some peculiar characteristics. It resides beside a tree and consider that tree its property.
Everything that tree produces shall belong to that.
If anyone dares to do something to that tree, they will be having the hardest time of their lives because the gorilla wouldn’t let them have a single second of peace unless one of the two dies.
Watt and sam appeared the vicinity of the Gorilla’s territory and it is sleeping as it leaned against its tree.
Sam gestured Watt and the latter took a detour and appear behind the tree.
Both of them started their attack at the same time. Sam threw a wind blade at the gorilla and startled it awake. He could hear a metallic clang as the blade stuck the chest of the gorilla.
Sam now gathered all the attention of the Gorilla and Watt made his move, he started throwing grenades on the tree as soon as the gorilla moved towards Sam.
The tree started burning immediately.
Now, the beast is furious. It was in a moment of confusion and started looking for the person who attacked the tree.
When it noticed, it completely ignored Sam and started moving running towards him.
Watt immediately increased the speed of the silver wind and started fleeing. The gorilla completely forgot about Sam.
Sam didn’t engage in a direct fight, because all beasts are in the peak stage of Level-4 at least all the solo Level 4 beasts are with such strength.
In this forest, if he fought with a beast like that, there is a risk of injury and if he encounters a Level 5 beast then, he would have some real trouble.
So, now his aim is to make the Gorilla move, with minimum commotion and at least, he has to lure the gorilla away to a relatively remote location.
Soon, the luring started. After arriving at the desired location, Sam and Watt started flanking the gorilla from a longer distance, confusing it from both sides. Soon, it became angrier and followed Sam completely ignoring the injuries from their attacks and Sam is exactly waiting for this moment.
He stayed still on harbinger at a single spot and when the gorilla appeared near him, the earth suddenly became soft.
The gorialla felt its feet getting lower and lower. This is the swamp swallower. Sam lured the beast here, so the he could take care of it without many signs of battle.
He took out a hand gun and shot the gorilla twice, its blood started seeping out and slowly the gorilla disappeared as the swamp swallowed it completely.
Sam and watt returned to the tower to plan for the next target.
