Chapter 267: The Wave Inheritance (1/2)
Sam and Watt left the place so that they could continue the exploration from where Sam left off at Dawn.
He already mapped more than one-fourth of the territory. The island might be big, it is only thrice as big as the imperial capital of Arian.
If it is the only journey, Sam is confident that he can circle the whole island more than twenty times in a single day that is only on feet, if harbinger was included, he can do that five times faster, but observing the surroundings and checking for trails of beasts and traps is something hard.
The territory to his right belongs to the Thunder god temple team and the territory to his left is the Arian team while the territory opposite to his is of the Northern region team.
Now, that he knew where the remaining candidates are situated, all he has to do was deal with the mapping problem and then start implementing his plans together with his teammates.
At the stone pillar, the people from the remaining three teams are looking at the direction in which Sam and Watt left.
They wanted to know why these guys left and some even have thoughts of following them. But after seeing their speed they got rid of those thoughts and asked Philip.
”Where are they going?”
”Why do you need to know?”
”How can we know if you guys are not plotting against us?” The person who asked this question was the leader of the Northern region team.
”Do you think, he needs to plot something to deal with you guys? You guys might be strong, but don't poke into his business, can't you see even the thunder god temple folks are staying quiet?”
These words completely infuriated that guy, just as he was about to make a move, another person from their team stopped his actions and whispered something. The leader could only accept this grudgingly.
Meanwhile, the people who entered the stone pillar.
The four of them appeared in a desolate place. A desolate seashore.
They appeared in the shallow waters as waves hit them on by one.
They tried to move back to the shore, but there was an invisible barrier blocking them. They have to stay in the waters no matter what.
The waves started hitting them one by one and their intensity increased by each wave.
But they didn't feel the pressure, instead, they felt their spiritual energy reacting to the waves.
Hawk felt the waves and started moving forward.
There was certainly some resistance but he was able to move forward.
He remembered the name of the inheritance. The wave inheritance.
He felt that whatever the inheritance was about, it has to do with the waves, so instead of escaping them, he tried to move forward by embracing them.
But he met a barricade soon enough, he wasn't able to move after two steps.
Then he closed his eyes and felt the resonance of the waves with his spiritual energy. He wanted to understand this feeling and wanted to control it. He could feel the changes both in terms of form and nature of his spiritual energy.
Soon, the rest of the candidates also figured this out.
They also closed his eyes and started feeling the wave energy once they can truly resonate with their water element with the waves, they can take a step forward.
Three minutes after encountering the first barrier, Hawk was able to take another step.
He didn't open his eyes and moved forward. He started resonating again.
They couldn't see where the end of this is, but their instincts are telling them that this is the correct path in here.
So, the four of them patiently started advancing.
Meanwhile, after a few hours, the teams waiting at the stone pillar felt a bit bored and a waste of time, some of them wanted to explore the surroundings and see if they can find anything.
So, they left two people at the pillar and left the place.
After more than half-a-day, they changed the shifts.
By that time, Sam and watt are almost done mapping the second part of the territory, in an hour or two, they would be done here and then they could start mapping another place.
