Chapter 593: Surrounded by dumb things (2/2)

”What do you mean, he has nothing to do with the Mov empire? He is a war hero, he got his accolades directly from the Mov emperor. At this moment, he is an Instructor in the Mirage city Navy. You don't tell me that he is not one of yours. If you guys really don't treat him like one of yours with all his contributions, then who is going to be considered yours.

God, I thought that the Mov empire has some standards.”

This one is another Pre-transcendent stage cultivator from the rubrum empire.

Everyone once again looked towards Mov empire.

”He is one of us, yes. But he came to this expedition independently and caught the lotus independently. As for the question you asked, no he didn't have any map on him. He explored his way all over to the lake and he went on his own way.” This time no one tried to argue anymore, because the one who talked is Yodha.

Everyone knows, he has a temper and he doesn't care who the other person is. So, they just sucked it up with some cocky expressions as if they have won making them admit Sam is one of theirs.

”Then let us, use the map and go back to the entrance where we would be able to capture him.” One of them suggested.

”But he is too fast. Whatever he used, it is not just there for a show and it is not a normal thing. We don't know anything about that board he used and he just zoomed past everyone. What if he reached the entrance before everyone else?”

Everyone went into deep thought at these words and at this moment, someone from the Flavos empire spoke.

”I have a suggestion.” Everyone focused on him as he took out a map and laid it out on a table in this temporary camp.

”From the lake, he has three obvious routes that surely indicate that they can lead to the entrance and all three of them are long routes. But judging from his speed, he could definitely make it within the ten days.

But we can take a shortcut and try to intercept him in this route.”

”What is so special about intercepting from this route you indicated? It is all the same.”

”No, it is not.” The person replied and started explaining the plan and soon the rest of the members realized that this plan might work.

After the plan was explained and few adjustments were made everyone spilt up and started moving in different directions. All the people combined and formed three teams and moved in three different directions.

They are taking all the shortcuts they can and reached their destined locations and used the herbs they collected to make some preparations.

While they are doing that, Sam is moving on the harbinger after he travelled till the night in a straight line, he stopped at a spot to get dressed. He can't wear his coat and his metal pants are also gone. He picked a new dress and wore his regular black vest. Had dinner with wine and recovered as much as he can before restarting his journey.

He traveled for four days straight, and his journey is smooth sailing. Except for the hot and searing breeze on his face.

He didn't bother about any other herbs or any other creatures that he encountered. Some people stopped him to get their hands on the Harbinger, but he finished the fights in an instant as long as it is Nascent stage cultivators who did that.

As for the Pre-transcendent stage cultivators, they could wish for better luck to catch up with his speed.

On the fifth day, while Sam is going through a canyon; all of a sudden something directly lunged at him from a small rock cliff from the side and he came to a halt as he tried to dodge.

He stopped there and saw a black and gold thing that is standing up clumsily with chaotic energy waves coming out of it.

The whole body is made of the Golden Lava except for some small portion that is visible which is made of black rock in random places.

This is a Lava Golem. He frowned at this appearance all of a sudden. He heard that there are these golems present, but he didn't encounter one all this while.

He was examining it as he hadn't seen a naturally formed golem before, but he clearly didn't have time because, a lot of golems are jumping down one after the other from either side of the cliffs.
