Chapter 319: Escape (1/2)

Sam is looking at the rubble of the statue in a daze and so were the remaining two.

At that exact moment, a voice came from the tunnel bringing them back to their senses.

”We will take it from here, thanks for discovering this. We are extremely grateful.”

They turned around and saw five people coming out of the tunnel and entering the room.

He recognized them instantly, they are the Nascent stage team of the Beast faction and they are actually the reserve team. The main team couldn't make it to this place because they are injured by Moriya completely.

He also saw the woman who delivered the token to him at the resource competition. Sam and his friends became extremely vigilant.

These guys came here as if they marked this place. The nascent team's time barely started a few hours ago and here they are.

Sam looked around for an escape route. He doesn't have much interest in the techniques that are in the place as he had so many of them inside the tower. He doesn't want to fight with these people.

He has to make preparations for his visit to the beast faction and he is in the middle of his preparations, he doesn't want to waste his time on healing after having a dangerous fight with them.

As for dying here or losing the fight, that thought never crossed his mind at all.

Sam immediately took out some methane grenades and threw them towards the group. As soon as they blasted, the team which was dispersed to avoid the grenades could feel the wind whistling and they could see a streak of Blacklight creating a line in the dust which was raised due to the blast. Before the dust even settled, Sam was already out on his harbinger with two of his friends hanging on both of his hands.

He didn't stop and just moved as fast as he can towards, the place where their beasts are mounted. The Nascent stage cultivators didn't get hurt much and only had some superficial burns on their skins.

After the dust settled, they didn't go after Sam. Although they really wanted to kill him, they have much more important stuff to do.

They heard what the spirit said and was extremely excited. This whole room has hundreds of statues, which makes them hundreds of techniques, although they didn't get to see what the face of the silhouette is, they think that it is one of the founder members of the faction, who died during the great war and left this during his last days. After all, this mountain was a grave of many people.

Particularly, the north-western side. They heard that many people from their faction died at that place in the ancient war.

So, they started collecting all the cylindrical containers one by one. But they sensed a problem and that is, it is impossible to place the containers in the spatial ring, but the statues are going in. So, they placed all the statues in the spatial ring and then tried to place the containers inside the beast pouches which actually worked.

So, they shoved everything inside their beast pouches, even Sanjay's sister, who is a bit mad and confused about the sudden ambush on Sam without her knowledge forgot to ask her teammates about it and was busy collecting all the containers.

After that, they didn't dare stay on the island and went back to the Beast faction.

Their treasure was too precious and they couldn't wait to take it back to the faction and claim enough credit for that.

When they returned, there was quite a commotion in the faction as soon as they revealed the news about the treasure.

In the court of the Beast faction, the faction-head and all the other core members are gathered.

Sanjay is also there. When they looked at the neatly placed cylindrical containers on a row of tables, they were stunned and when they heard the explanation of the five members, they were even shocked to the point, their mouths were opened wide as if they are idiots.

”Test it.” The faction-head asked their artisan, who took a container in his hands and started checking it. First, he tried to see, if he could trigger any mechanism, but he didn't dare to use force, if it was destroyed, his life would be doomed.

After trying for more than half-an-hour, he nearly came up with nothing, even the metal is not something he is familiar with.

”There are too many restrictions, which are restricting my spiritual sense to check inside. There are so many inscriptions and formations inscribed on it.”

The formation took over as soon as he heard this and he probed the restrictions a bit. His face beamed with a smile of excitement.

”Incredible.” He gasped in awe as he looked at the container.

”What is it?” The faction head asked kind of impatiently.
