Chapter 912: Solar Fragments (2/2)
The solar fragments are in a way, mutated humans. When Hou Yi destroyed the Golden Sun crows with his bow and arrow the golden sun crows who were on the level of immortals fell into a planet and soaked it with their blood.
The blood which is more potent than the life force of the whole planet combined started seeping into the Planet's core, vegetation, and humans forcing them to mutate accordingly. But the original planet is merely a slave planet where all kinds of slaves working under Hou Yi used to reside and it couldn't sustain the mutation.
So, Hou Yi who was intrigued by the new race created a family or a tribe out of them and sent them to a lower realm that has a suitable environment for them.
They are good with fire elements mostly and there is an occasional dual element with light elements too. They are good at fighting and they contribute to the army of Hou Yi by occupying a large number of positions within.
As for why they are able to attack Sam and how they managed to get here without breaking any rules of the game is completely incomprehensible.
Sam waited for them to arrive in the valley and he deployed several of his subordinates with the tracking birds over a few places in the continent to see if they followed any certain routes.
The central continent is too big, he cannot cover everything with a single set of tracking birds. The main problem is the time constraint which he couldn't possibly overcome at the moment.
So, he can only see if he can capture their path or position at a specific time and trace a path to their origin.
Three days later, Sam indeed got a message from a subordinate that some of their tracking birds spotted some golden-haired people moving through the forest, but they are too fast for the birds to capture a proper image.
They must be Astral Plane cultivators and they are moving towards the valley. There must be some kind of special technique for them to track these five down.
They managed to near the valley faster than he thought.
There are ten people this time and these ten are all Astral Plane cultivators.
When they arrived in the valley they looked at the five Consummate cultivators in the center with a frown.
The leader wanted to ask them some questions, but before they could do anything, Sam whistled and his subordinates came out. The ones that came are all Astral Plane Initiation cultivators that, too Initial stage, he doesn't know how they managed to come here and why they only sent the Initial stage cultivators, but this is a chance.
Even though Sam doesn't have too much of an overwhelming advantage on the opponents, it is easy for him to overpower them.
He took out his reaper sword and activated light elemental fusion as he slashed them right and left.
The battle went on for a decent time as the subordinates and the solar fragments tied.
Sam is the only anomaly and he managed to capture them down. Four of the ten Solar Fragments are dead and four on Sam's side are injured. Sam went to heal them properly and let them rest and then started the questioning.
Sam was pretty frustrated with the info he got. These are not all the first batch of the soldiers. These are only half and the major force of the first batch, there a second half who is the minor force with Consummate level cultivation and they have a different task.
They went somewhere else as soon as they came.
And these people don't know what their tasks are and they also don't know where they arrived. They also took these so-called selective amnesia pills.
This is another dead end.
The only useful information Sam got from them is the fact that the second batch of soldiers would be coming only after a week.
Apart from that, there is really no use keeping them alive.
But Sam found another use for them.
Yanwu can eat them.
These people are mutants of the Golden sun crow blood and humans. If their flesh, blood, and organs are consumed, Yanwu would benefit from it, particularly since they are Astral Plane, he would be able to break through to the Middle stage Initiation of the Astral Plane as soon as Yanwu digested them completely.
So, he gave the four corpses to Yanwu instantly and waited for him to digest to give the rest and since they are doomed to die and they don't have any other use, Sam directly threw them into the divine dimension and let Yanwu eat them as much as he can.
