Chapter 273: Turned out to be easy (1/2)

Sam really did find a way to deal with these habitats, in fact, there are two for two possible cases.

One of them is considering every beast in the whole habitat as an individual threat or danger, then there would be having a treasure individually which will lead him to kill every single beast.

But when he thought of this whole thing another way, he felt that there is another possibility.

What if the whole habitat is considered as a single threat? Then there would be no need for him to necessarily kill the whole habitat. He has many other ways; he can even just steal the treasure if it was just guarded.

So, the first issue they have to deal with is, whether the habitat is considered as a threat or each individual beast is a threat.

The next day, he went to the nearest habitat, the Jade horned Rhinos.

He was very careful as he went to that place, if he was discovered, he would have to use extreme measures and the treasure may as well lost.

So, he started spying on the habitat for a whole day to find their routines and find any places that they are using as a special spot or any place that has most danger within the whole habitat.

But on that day, he didn't find any place and it took him more than three days to find the spot.

There is a place like a cave within their habitat where no beast goes. When the small baby rhinos run around and try to enter that place, the parents reacted very harshly and hardly.

The Rhinos which passed that place, look at that place with reverence and respect.

Sam guessed that place might be the one and he was thinking about how to go there without alerting the Rhinos. After all, it is always better if he refrains from killing so much.

After thinking long and hard, he decided in a most direct way. Create a distraction.

But that distraction has to be good enough to have caused more than a hundred rhinos to not concentrate on that place.

So, all he did was simply blast a sizeable energy cell in the air above the habitat. The huge explosion and the massive fluctuations of spiritual energy, the rhinos did get distracted, but the weird thing is an exactly opposite thing happened. Instead of going away from that cave, all the rhinos instead huddled together towards the cave as if they are trying to feel safe.

It is as if the thing in the cave is the one that is protecting them. This is making things difficult for him.

But he did have another plan.

He went back to the tower and started dealing with some herbs, creating a liquid, and the next day, he came with all the group members.

All five of them occupied a certain place within the vicinity of the whole habitat and on a cue threw a grenade.

But the grenade is not the methane grenade, instead, a blue-colored gas comes out of it, and soon enough, all the rhinos are a mess, they are becoming drowsy and started slumping. They became lazy slobs all of a sudden.

Sam moved on the harbinger and flew into the cave.

The first feeling he got was a surprise, he couldn't even see an ounce of blue gas in the cave, it was completely blocked at the entrance.

In the middle of the cave, there is a formation disc along with a scroll. He didn't check them right there and left the place first. Because the gas he used is not high level enough to deal with the beasts for a long time.

So, before the effect wore off, he has to leave the place and he did.

They went back to the tower to check on the formation disc.

While he was doing that, the rhinos have recovered and they are now in a frenzy. The king of the tribe the rhino which is a peak Level-5 beast went to the cave and as soon as it saw that the empty place where the formation disc was supposed to be, it started roaring in fury.

The rhinos started ravaging the whole territory around them. Of course, they didn't leave their own vicinities and enter the areas under other habitats.

Sam opened the scroll first and it depicted a lot of images drawn on it indicating the usage of the formation disc.

This formation disc immediately impressed Sam.

It is called the seven-stage divine rhino formation.

As the name implied, the formation has seven working stages. When it is activated, the first stage is will form a single Rhino spirit and attack the enemies who are within the formation range. It is an attack-type and the defense type formation.

For the second stage, two rhinos, and for the third one three rhinos.

In the final stage, the whole formation can defend and deal with a Transcendent level cultivator at a late stage.

This formation is a piece of art in Sam's eyes and how did the spirits enter the formation. There are two ways and one of them is natural spirit generation.

For example, just like how the weapons made of meteorite sand forms a spirit over time and the spirit that formed will depend on the atmospheric factors or the materials that are used to make them.
