Chapter 102: First mission over (1/2)

Sam instructed his teammates to sit inside, while he walked out to see the situation.

What he saw wasn't that much different from his expectations, the Myriad mirage chameleons are a type of beasts with a great sense of comradery. Seeing, that one of them is dead, the remaining of them would surely take out their anger on the killer.

Since, he destroyed the odour on him which is the only way for them to find the killer, they will take the anger out on the common enemy, the candidates.

The candidates are all in chaos. Some people are unconscious, some of them are injured, some of them are arguing on what the hell is happening.

There are only a few people who are still a bit calm and they are the ones who assumed the leadership positions of their respective teams.

Suddenly, the third son of Marquis made a move, a large blue coloured fire ball was shot from his hands and it flew towards a young man who is walking stiffly.

Before the people could react, the 'young man' was hit by the fire ball, but as soon as he landed on the ground, he disappeared.

This is the scenario, Sam wanted to avoid, if they became invisible, it is really hard to find them and if they really want to kill it while it is still invisible, the only way is to use an attack with high damage as well as a large area of effect.

It is not a good idea to use those type of skill when they don't have a guaranteed supply of spiritual energy to restore their strength.

But Marquis' son, doesn't have much choice, so after performing a series of hand seals, a large wave of blue flame engulfed the area where the 'young man' disappeared. And in a few seconds, they could hear growls from the flames and within a minute after the flames disappeared there was a fully burnt scaly figure, in between a large patch of a burnt area.

Marquis' son, became visibly weak. Even though, his attack was powerful, it took an equally large toll on his spiritual energy.

His two brothers Zeke and Luther, immediately moved forward. One of them stood near their third brother, and the other one went to check the corpse. After ransacking the corpse for a few minutes, they finally found the token and three of them immediately went back to their camp.

Even if they had some differences and grudges among them, the three brothers are quite united for now in front of outsiders.

As soon as the spectators saw that the token was in the three brothers' hands, some people from the marquis city who has a closer relationship, mostly noble offspring, joined them.

Looking at this scene, the remaining candidates erupted in frenzy. Everyone is looked at one another in suspicion, thinking if the other party was the beast. But their suspicions got lost in a few seconds as a few 'young men' started running towards the three brothers to attack them.

The candidates immediately understood, by the weird bodily movements of the 'young men' and soon the battles started.

Only at this moment, Sam started walking. He went back to the place, he grappled with the chameleon and took back the corpse with him.

Even though, the meat isn't edible, Sam has some other uses for this corpse.

Since, they have scarcity of spiritual energy, they need to find a way which uses less spiritual energy for attacking. And a myriad mirage chameleon's body has a lot of this which might come useful in future and one of them is its scaly tail.

The tail is one of lethal weapons a myriad mirage chameleon uses to attack people. The tail acts just like a normal python.

It wounds the tail around the abdomen and chest of the victim and the muscles of the tail will tighten at the same the scales will start to pierce through the skin. The tail bone of this beasts is one of the hardest parts belonging to the level 3 beasts.

Sam took the beast carcass to a distance away from the camp, he took his team mates along with him. After it is dead there will be some secretions that the dead of this beast will release which is the major reasons the meat is contaminated.

Sam along with Kelly and Hawk's help made an earthen pot with mud. Even though, it isn't useful for long term use and isn't that sturdy, he still made it for this short-term purpose.

After preparing the pot, he started cutting open with the wind blades. Hawk looked at the short and small wind blades Sam is making without any hand seals and minimum expense of spiritual and couldn't help but open his mouth wide.

After cutting open the carcass, he took out the tail bone. It isn't the whole tail but rather the largest part of the tail. It is about one and a half feet long and it is not that thick

”This is for you. Even though, the handle isn't there and the edge isn't sharp, I think it is better than nothing. Hide it properly and do necessary arrangements as you seem fit.”

After that, he placed his palm like a knife and it is surrounded by the condensed wind, he started peeling the scales off of the skin and meat off of the bones.

He piled the bones away separately and placed the meat inside the pot before burying it.

After that, he picked up some scale which are the part of the tail and buried the remaining. There are ten scales in his hands. After that he took some intact and long bones which and buried the remaining along with the rest of the organs and waste of the beast.

”This pot might be one of our greatest help in the near future. That is why, I am doing this in front of you. Remember the location properly. After three days, one of us will come here and take it back.”

Everyone nodded their heads and all of them left the place back to the camp.
