Chapter 1071: Investigation (2/2)

The ice golems are really well made. It was as if they are carefully sculpted and the shapes of the ice golems are varying in a large spectrum.

There are some beast-type ice golems, some humanoid, some bird type, and some that even resembled the user.

When he activated energy vision from afar, even though Sam couldn't clearly see what is happening, he could see the faint concentrated energy deposits within the ice golems. They seemed to be the golem cores.

After gaining a faint understanding of the whole scenario, Sam carefully followed them to get a proper opportunity, he needs to find a way to send leaving something on the leader to track him down to their sect location.

He followed them for quite a while and finally, he found an opportunity.

The golems are not invulnerable, so they are damaged here and there. So, after they traveled far and finished more than half of the mission, the leader let them repair their golems.

Everyone took out some bunch of items, frost essences, age-old ices, special liquids, and such, Sam used this opportunity to his advantage and created a distraction, he diverted a bunch of beasts from within the forest to attack the group and when they are doing that, he took out one of the special puppets.

He never got the opportunity to actually use it as the applications are limited and it has a one-time use.

This puppet's job is only one thing, the user can record a spell within it and once you lock a target the puppet will find a means to go near the target and tag it with the spell before dying down.

It only uses four spirit stones and the distance range is not that just much, barely thirty to forty meters.

After creating the distraction, Sam let this puppet out and took out a small disc which is inscribed with the spell for Sam's spiritual imprint.

This disc method is what Sam made. He can choose any disc he wants and place it inside the puppet before sending it away.

The puppet which is shaped like a spider stealthily crawled towards the golem of the leader of the team. It crawled onto its leg and it imprinted the spell before dropping down and dying down.

Then a golem that was passing by smashed into some small metal clump making it completely unnoticeable.

Sam followed them from afar as he observed them, but he returned before the mission is completed, after the initial hunt which almost finished half of their mission, the beasts became a bit scarce and they had to search high and low to get the rest of them.

Sam didn't want to follow them and waste his time, he returned to the city waiting for them to return.

Meanwhile, Five elemental King is carrying out the investigation from a different side.

His mission is for a guide who has experience in exploring a very special region.

The region is called the ice volcano.

It is actually a mountain that is flooded with frost essence, occasionally when the frost elemental energy increases it will explode just like a volcano, but instead of laying everything to waste by melting and burning, this will lay waste to everything by freezing.

This frost essence is too crude and polluted which makes it impossible for the cultivators to improve their cultivation, but it can be a good raw ingredient for some ice golems and a repairing material and there are many mutated ice elemental plants that could be found.

Five elemental kings acted as an attendant of a high-level potion master and he is here in search of these mutated herbs.

Five elemental King kept on trying to see if he would get any information from the guide he hired. Even if there is a small hint. In fact, his questions are nothing about the location or the direction, not even the population and the residents. Rather, his questions were mixed in small talk making him seem completely normal and devoid of suspicions.
