Chapter 106: Battle
Why did Sam make a fierce fire like that?
That is, he is using the basic instincts of the beasts to his advantage. Any beast which isn't of a fire attribute is aversive to that and since, the beast bosses doesn't seem to be a higher level and can't control each and every beast to forcefully tackle the flame.
If not for the fact, Sam is confident in his speed to cut down the trees, he wouldn't think of the problem. Now, only the fire type beasts which aren't too many compared to whole horde of beasts are the only one's attacking them by jumping through the fire and they could deal with them.
They are only left with about twenty capsules of the corrosive liquid.
Since, he doesn't have any of the meat of myriad mirage chameleon it is impossible to create it more.
But still, they are in a better situation than others. The other teams didn't even have the opportunity to copy this as the beasts already reached them.
While everyone is fighting, Sam is looking at the Golden fist ape. Even though, the scarlet lion is the one that is guarding the entrance which they have to cross, Sam's first target is still the ape.
There are two reasons for that and one is the ape's bloodline, if he can purify the bloodline of ape, then he would have a great pet under him. A tall ape butler wearing some modern-day formal cloths.
Sam really liked the thought and there is another reason which he really isn't sure of.
So, now he is thinking of way to get near that ape. He has one idea, but he is thinking if there is any other way since it is a bit risky.
After some thought, he wasn't able to find an alternative, so he decided.
Sam leapt through the fire and came outside of the area after instructing his teammates to maintain the fire as long as possible.
He was already being attacked by some beasts. But Sam held two bone knives in his hands and started moving in the direction of the ape. He just stabbed every beast that came towards him in its most sensitive parts. Like eyes, ears, heart. He made every move with utmost concentration and with minimum effort to be most efficient in his attacks.
When he reached his desirable distance, where the Level 3 beasts are of higher density, he halted his steps and looked for an elephant type beast which is near him.
For the first time, he activated his elemental powers. And soon a huge raging fire tornado swept the beasts away from him and a huge open space appeared.
Sam took out small cloth bag from the back of his vest and swallowed the food portion immediately. The last attack was one of his moves which uses fire energy accompanied by wind which increases the intensity of the fire.
But it almost emptied him out and these food portions are the ones he stored from the most recent food distribution. Even they don't have full restoration effect now, it is still better than nothing.
After swallowing it, his energy was half full, he immediately started tackling the elephant.
He used his physical which is same as a level 3 beast and threw the heavy elephant high up in the air. When his teammates saw this, they were quite confused, but the next moment everyone in the special zone and also those who are monitoring the situation were dumbfounded and dropped their jaws.
Sam concentrated his wind elemental energy below his feet as he curled himself and when he before they can understand what he is doing, a huge blast of compressed air through him upwards with a very high speed.
When, he reached the point colinear with the elephant, he uncurled and twisted his body in the air and he tapped his feet on the elephant's body.
Now, he is in horizontal position and his head faced the ape. With a smirk, again the huge explosion of air occurred as he was shot towards the ape at the same time, the elephant was also shot and turned into a horizontal projectile crashing into the beasts on the ground.
Sam was shot like a bullet towards the ape which caught the latter completely off guard.
But soon the ape quickly readied itself for the collision. Sam smirked at this and placed two bone knives in front of him at the last moment without giving the beast a chance to prepare.
*Boom* The collision wasn't small and both parties got injured. Sam immediately started healing himself. But at this moment he noticed something and couldn't help but leave a smirk.
That is the atmosphere has been filled with spiritual energy again and this is good news for him as he can control the spiritual energy around him. So, he took out the last portion of the food he had and ate it without a care. He is quite confident now.
The ape, slowly stood as blood oozed out of it from many injuries. Its ribs got broken, and chest got caved in. The most damage is done due to the two bone knives that are completely immersed themselves into its chest.
Sam just waited at his spot. His guess was correct as the ape is definitely in Level 3 late stage.
But still controlling hundreds of beasts, it might be because of its bloodline power.
The ape looked at Sam with an angry look. But it has lost a lot of blood and its injuries aren't light at all. If not for the fact that Sam's cultivation is lower than the ape it would have died right there.
When the ape looked at Sam who is healing himself and getting his complexion back while joining his broken bones, it almost lost its will to fight.
But Sam didn't give that a chance and immediately launched an attack. He didn't use his elements and rather used his raw strength to hit the ape which is seven and half feet tall.
Sam himself is tall for his age as he is already around five feet 9 inches. Even though, it isn't that tall, he is still in his teens.
When his small figure jumped and hit the ape in his head, it almost looked funny, but the beast didn't feel like that.
Sam's hit made it feel stunned and dizzy at the same time and it immediately fell on his knees.
At this moment, Sam placed his hand on ape's chest and closed his eyes. He is looking at the ape's beast core with his observation ability. Because, if someone made a contract with a beast, their signature will be imprinted on not only the beast's soul, but also its core.
But both of them are different. Because, the soul imprint will be the part of the contractor's soul and the core imprint is essence of his spiritual energy.
This is natural phenomenon which is made of beasts so that they can differentiate their master even if someone skilled in soul arts managed to imitate the soul of the master and the essence of the spiritual core of a person is almost impossible to imitate and not many people don't even know about this.
Sam only learnt this because of the knowledge he gained from the library of divine dimension.
But when he found out that there wasn't any imprint, he became quite disappointed. Even though, it would be easier to tame the ape, Sam has another idea. If this ape a tamed beast of any elder or even marquis himself, he would be returning the favour to them if he forcefully took it away.
But since it isn't there, then there is no point in dwelling over it.
Sam woke the ape and spoke.
"I want you to be my pet. I will purify your bloodline and I will open you a new door. You don't have to struck up in this city. But if you refuse my offer, then…"
Sam paused briefly and said.
"You can die." At this moment, his spiritual energy has surrounded the heart and the core of the ape. Just one thought from him and the beast would die. Sam also released his bloodline aura as he looked at the ape with cold look.
The ape immediately nodded its head and soon Sam made a normal contract.
Even though, the beast has a high-level bloodline, he still doesn't want to make the cultivation contract like he did with Sky and Yanwu. It isn't because of the bloodline level, but rather he doesn't want to waste the spot. If he made a cultivation contract with elemental beast, he would gain an element after all.
As soon as he was done with the contract, Sam started healing the ape while he fixed its bones back in the place. Even though, the beast felt the pain, soon the suffering ended and Sam immediately ordered.
"Avoid every person in the fire square." Sam said as he pointed at his teammates. The ape nodded obediently.
And with a roar all the beasts completely diverted their attention away from his teammates.
Sam and the ape walked towards his teammates slowly, by this time, the area was filled with corpses of various beasts.
Many people are already exhausted but they still killed many beasts, there are only few left but it would be quite difficult as all of them are of high-level.
Sam found out that it is quite peculiar that these beasts are all listening to the three beasts. Because, even if the level wasn't high, the beasts at the middle stage Level 3 and in this large number is not an easy thing to control.
Maybe they were trained for this moment.
By the time, Sam reached his teammates, the fire died down long ago. All of the followed Sam as they walked towards the entrance.
The two remaining beasts, Scarlet lion and the Blue scaled alligator are perplexed. But they didn't make a move against the ape as they didn't want to make an enemy out of it. The bloodline pressure of the ape, when they fought isn't a joke.
Sam looked at all the candidates who are at their wits end and are ready to use their trump cards.
He saw some of them using forbidden techniques and some of the realised the availability of the spiritual energy and took times to recover, but he really didn't care about them and just walked along with the ape and crossed the door.
Even though, the scarlet lion showed some objection and roared at the ape, both of them seemed to conversed as they roared at each other and soon they ended the conversation with the lion having a vexed expression while the ape is having a haughty expression as it held its head high and walked away.
