Chapter 268: Trouble (2/2)

Sam took out the ring and looked into it. He found a bunch of scrolls and books inside.

Most of the scrolls are some consumables that can be used as traps to hunt.

Every trap is related to earth usage.

All one has to do is, open the scroll and place it on the ground where they want to activate the trap and inject some spiritual energy into it.

Then the trap would activate and any living being that entered the trap would be done for.

There are three books in total.

Two of them are filled with the theory behind the traps and the last one is a design theory of some other formation. This one is a large-scale defensive formation and Sam was amazed by it.

After examining it for a while, he finally understood what the words of Murali meant. There is a treasure accompanied by every danger.

He placed them aside and started roasting the boar

He let out Mia and both of them ate everything. Their spiritual energy increased.

With this, he had an idea. If he goes to the wild and hunts some stray Level-4 beasts with his beasts, he might be able to advance faster than now.

But when he was about to take the beasts out on the island, they were completely blocked just like the night they arrived here.

This also raised some suspicions. He was able to leave the tower without any obstructions, he went to the shallow water at the cliff and then let Yanwu out, there he came out, but when he tried to enter the island itself, he wasn't able to do so.

There seemed to be some sort of restriction placed so that their pets cannot help them on the island. Sam felt glad about one thing though and that is his decision to flee without counting on his beasts to fight that beast earlier, otherwise, he would have been in big trouble.

Sam went back to the tower. He only has one choice, he has to break through by spiritual energy, because, hunting the beasts is not yet a feasible option.

The absorption of spiritual energy is a slower option.

Right now, he can do nothing but absorb as much as he can. But after some thought, he has a new idea.

He took out the cylinder he used to kill Oscar. He sat at the corner of the tower and then activate the fire and started bathing himself in it.

Since the fire is essentially made of spiritual energy, if he can consume this flame, his spiritual energy might increase.

So, he and Yanwu tried this and after finding out that it is indeed feasible, he and Yanwu went on with it.

Within a few hours, he had a minor breakthrough. This is due to the fact that he accumulated spiritual energy from the past month.

But he could clearly feel the spiritual energy from this fire is indeed effective. He and Yanwu absorbed it while he shared it with Sky and Mia.

Until the sunrise, Sam was constantly cultivating under that fire.

He just discovered a new way of cultivation suitable for him.

This is just like how beasts could advance faster in an environment with an extremely high-level presence of their elemental energy.

He wasn't able to take the flame at full intensity, so until he can do that, he can cultivate using that flame.

He found yet another advantage of his beast cultivation.

The next day, Sam went to the top floor of the tower and noticed that the stone plaque that emerges was also glowing in a similar way as the stone pillar. But it is glowing more than half from the bottom.

Sam didn't bother with it much and went out again. This time, he didn't let anyone else come with him.

He alone went out on harbinger. He has to map the island no matter what. His future plans are completely dependent on them.

When Sam went towards the left side territory, he saw the remains of a person. His head and some bones are the only things left. When he took a closer look, he recognized the person to be from team Arian.

The beast must have eaten him up here.

He left the place and continued with his mapping.
