Chapter 276: Hunting in other territories
Sam went back to the tower with his teammates. He has to take some rest and stabilize his cultivation.
After that, he took the day off.
Twenty-eighth day. A new inheritance opened and this time it is a wind elemental inheritance. Watt went there and the thunder-god temple people are extremely cautious when they arrived at the inheritance stone pillar in the fear of attracting Sam’s attack power.
But after seeing that it is a wind element one, which they don’t have candidates to, they left cautiously.
Sam didn’t chase them or bother with them. He will deal with them when the time is right and at the most crucial moment. They would curse his eighteen generations in that situation.
Now, Sam is in a great form and it is time to deal with the Level-5 beasts in the remaining territories.
The first stop is the Thunder god temple’s territories. The Level-5 beasts are completely left untouched in there. They only dealt with the Level-4 beasts and after they are finished, they moved to Sam’s territory.
After seeing the number of skeletons in the ashes on that day, they abandoned any thoughts on Sam’s territory and are now moving towards the Northern Arian territory.
This time, Sam is not as cautious as before. He has enough strength and he is confident that he can employ more dangerous ploys than before. Anyway, he is not doing this in his own territory, so even if the beasts do notice something wrong with his methods, they would take it up with the Arthur and the rest, he would be completely safe anyway.
So, he picked his first target. The remaining people who are now in late-stages are traveling to other territories so that they can fight it out with the Level-4 beasts there.
They have to hone their cultivations and adapt to the new strength; this is the perfect opportunity.
Sam arrived at a place and looked at a beast. A Magma Fox. His first target. He is even surprised that this beast is here when he first saw this and later he understood how it was staying here.
Because this fox likes the smell of the rocks made of the cooled lava. They live in the vicinities of the volcanoes and don’t like the other environments and are quite aversive to adapt to any of them until they become Level-6 or higher and gain enough intelligence. Until then they would go crazy and wreak havoc if they don’t stay within that vicinity.
This is a typical average forest with nothing special much less a volcanic zone. That is the reason he was extremely surprised when he saw this and only examined it later. The rocky terrain in which it was living was manually created by the volcanic rocks with a mineral called volcanic iron as the core on which the fox sleeps.
The volcanic iron is a fire attributed metal used by the fire elemental warrior-mages.
It is not so valuable but it is still an okay metal.
After discovering this, Sam had an idea in his mind. And he is here now to execute it.
He waited until the fox went hunting for a daily meal and made his move. The first thing he did was disintegrate the volcanic iron and started pouring the powder all the way as he moved and when he reached a cave, he threw the remaining powder into that cave and ran away.
In a distance, he stood on a tree branch as he looked at the cave waiting for some reaction and in an hour it came.
The Magma Fox felt the disappearance of the volcanic iron and went into a frenzy and when it saw the trail of the powder, it started sniffing and followed it until it reached the cave.
The thing inside the cave is something that Sam escaped from before.
The Wicked tiger. That’s the name of the beast. It uses neutral spiritual energy and its name was given due to its wicked nature to toy with the beasts.
Sam didn’t throw the metal powder too deep into the cave, otherwise, if it had even taken a look or sensed him, he would have had to be on another chase.
After the fox reached the cave in a frenzy the tiger also noticed the presence and became angry. It was its territory another being who is in similar strength shouldn’t walk in as it liked.
So, it directly attacked without a warning. The fox, which is also a ferocious beast by nature started attacking.
Its body glowed red and its claws started spewing magma as it pounced on the tiger.
As the two beasts are in a ferocious battle, the person who instigated it is watching the whole scene with an amused expression.
This is one of the most optimum methods to deal with them. But he didn’t opt to it for his territory due to some reasons. One of them is trying to create those two traps as his ‘food’ and the other one is if the plan failed and he was discovered and remembered his face, they would track him to his place and could be more troublesome. He would then have to use the energy cells, which would destroy the spatial ring inside the beast.
Now, he is free to do these things, because he has confidence that they couldn’t leave that far away from their territory to his tower and if they recognize that a human is giving them trouble, Arthur can deal with that.
Sam watched the battle of the two beasts as they tried to tear each other apart. He took out the sniper rifle and loaded a different magazine which is a small space jade. These are the energy cell bullets.
Now, he is using the fire element ones and he did that… for no reason. Just because he felt like it.
He aimed the sniper and started shooting.
This is the perfect time as the beasts are too engrossed in a fight with each other, their senses for other external dangers would be a bit less and as per Sam’s calculations, the energy cells, hit the tiger’s torso and just before it did, it exploded.
The destabilized energy cell bullets, he had to be in a perfect distance and position so that it would explode exactly at the point of contact.
The people of this world might not even figure this out. But Sam the creator of this can do so. After the first hit, the tiger didn’t even get the chance to look at Sam but was already being forced by the fox to ground.
At this exact moment, another bullet was shot out and the next of the fox had an explosion. Both the beasts are in an extremely dangerous and vulnerable situation.
Sam made his move, he appeared at the spot and finished the beasts and threw them in his storage ring.
Next, he went after the next prey.
For the next few days, Sam is after every Level-5 beast which runs solo on the whole island and his movements are soon noticed by the rest of the teams, but no one dared to make a move, because, if Sam just threw them to the beasts, they would have to deal with them and they are not confident in doing do.
For the next fifteen days, Sam is on the hunt for these beasts and there were only two weeks left on the island and one week for him to enter the main inheritance.
This time is for dealing with the habitats. These teams didn’t even dare to deal with the Level-5 solo beasts and by the time they are strong enough that they can deal with some Level-5 beasts as a team, Sam took away all of them.
Now, the habitats are the only things left for them and he is going for it. These days, there are various inheritances of fire, wind, leg techniques, and so on. But he wasn’t interested. He only planned to take the formation and the inscription parts of the inheritance.
His first target habitats are of the thunder god temple’s side.
But he didn’t take the same approach as before. He has other plans. Since Arthur had made a move and tried to take away his treasures, he has to pay dearly.
So, after every attack on the habitat with the sedatives, he stole the treasure at the same time, he took away the cubs. He didn’t store them inside the divine dimension instead brought them with his hands.
He increased his body heat so that the cubs would sweat leaving their scent all over and left the cubs near the thunder god temple tower.
After that, he repeated the same for the remaining habitats and left around seven types of cubs near the tower and took a seat near a tall tree.
Only the snacks are the ones that are not in his hands.
And soon enough, the guests arrived.
