Chapter 267: The Wave Inheritance

Sam and Watt left the place so that they could continue the exploration from where Sam left off at Dawn.

He already mapped more than one-fourth of the territory. The island might be big, it is only thrice as big as the imperial capital of Arian.

If it is the only journey, Sam is confident that he can circle the whole island more than twenty times in a single day that is only on feet, if harbinger was included, he can do that five times faster, but observing the surroundings and checking for trails of beasts and traps is something hard.

The territory to his right belongs to the Thunder god temple team and the territory to his left is the Arian team while the territory opposite to his is of the Northern region team.

Now, that he knew where the remaining candidates are situated, all he has to do was deal with the mapping problem and then start implementing his plans together with his teammates.

At the stone pillar, the people from the remaining three teams are looking at the direction in which Sam and Watt left.

They wanted to know why these guys left and some even have thoughts of following them. But after seeing their speed they got rid of those thoughts and asked Philip.

"Where are they going?"

"Why do you need to know?"

"How can we know if you guys are not plotting against us?" The person who asked this question was the leader of the Northern region team.

"Do you think, he needs to plot something to deal with you guys? You guys might be strong, but don't poke into his business, can't you see even the thunder god temple folks are staying quiet?"

These words completely infuriated that guy, just as he was about to make a move, another person from their team stopped his actions and whispered something. The leader could only accept this grudgingly.

Meanwhile, the people who entered the stone pillar.

The four of them appeared in a desolate place. A desolate seashore.

They appeared in the shallow waters as waves hit them on by one.

They tried to move back to the shore, but there was an invisible barrier blocking them. They have to stay in the waters no matter what.

The waves started hitting them one by one and their intensity increased by each wave.

But they didn't feel the pressure, instead, they felt their spiritual energy reacting to the waves.

Hawk felt the waves and started moving forward.

There was certainly some resistance but he was able to move forward.

He remembered the name of the inheritance. The wave inheritance.

He felt that whatever the inheritance was about, it has to do with the waves, so instead of escaping them, he tried to move forward by embracing them.

But he met a barricade soon enough, he wasn't able to move after two steps.

Then he closed his eyes and felt the resonance of the waves with his spiritual energy. He wanted to understand this feeling and wanted to control it. He could feel the changes both in terms of form and nature of his spiritual energy.

Soon, the rest of the candidates also figured this out.

They also closed his eyes and started feeling the wave energy once they can truly resonate with their water element with the waves, they can take a step forward.

Three minutes after encountering the first barrier, Hawk was able to take another step.

He didn't open his eyes and moved forward. He started resonating again.

They couldn't see where the end of this is, but their instincts are telling them that this is the correct path in here.

So, the four of them patiently started advancing.

Meanwhile, after a few hours, the teams waiting at the stone pillar felt a bit bored and a waste of time, some of them wanted to explore the surroundings and see if they can find anything.

So, they left two people at the pillar and left the place.

After more than half-a-day, they changed the shifts.

By that time, Sam and watt are almost done mapping the second part of the territory, in an hour or two, they would be done here and then they could start mapping another place.

Time passed.

At night, Watt returned to the stone pillar, while Sam was still in the third territory. But this time, his luck was not as good as the previous day.

Because three people from the Arian team are now hunting a beast. A Peak Level -4 beast in the territory.

They seemed to have planned something ahead of time to ambush the beast. But they failed and for some reason, they are extremely weak for that beast.

So, the three people started fleeing and the beast chased them. This Earthen tusked Boar. The tusks of this boar are like sharpened rock and it uses earth element which gave the name to these boars.

As Sam was trying to map the territory, he felt the tremors and saw these three people running towards his direction.

He cursed under his breath. Nighttime, beasts might sleep or take some rest, but that doesn't mean they are completely carefree. In fact, they are extremely vigilant, and disturbing their rest is one of the stupid things one could do.

Because once a beast goes on a rampage, they would attract the attention of other beasts. That is the worst thing that could happen, in a forest like this where there are numerous Level-5 beasts.

This is the reason he didn't want to travel in groups at night. The beasts might make a move and they wouldn't be able to do anything about it. There is a high possibility of casualties if it is a Level-5 beast.

Sam has now two choices, that is dealing with this beast or flee. But both are dangerous. If he didn't deal with this beast as fast as he can, the Level-5 beasts might arrive, but the same problem might arise if he left it like that.

He is an extreme dilemma. He is only a Level-4 Great realm cultivator and a peak level 4 earthen tusked boar is not exactly an easy target.

As he was about to flee, he changed his mind immediately, because these guys did another stupid thing and that is, they activated a consumable inscription scroll.

But their target missed and a large explosion happened. The commotion shook and Sam could sense the auras of some Level-5 beasts from the surroundings.

This caused Sam to grit his teeth in anger. Now, even his escape routes are tight. There is the only route left without any presence and that is the way the wild boar came.

Sam took out the claws and flashed towards the boar on his hoverboard. Right now, this route is by far safer compared to the remaining directio0ns, but even for that, he has to deal with this boar.

The only thing he is superior to this boar is his speed on the hoverboard.

He started slashing the boar on the sides when it is concentrating on the three of them.

His claws penetrated on it, but he didn't stay there. He started flanking the boar left and right. And two minutes later, the boar's movements turned sluggish.

This is not because of the injuries but due to the poison in the claws. This is the only time he used the poison in battle. And he used a poison that makes it lose its consciousness and paralysis agent.

After the movements turned sluggish, he made a final move, he made a turn in the air on harbinger and a large wind blade was formed from the edge of the board, beheading the boar. The deep gash made the boar bleed continuously and it lost its life in an instant.

He didn't wait long and stored the body in his storage.

After the risk he took, he should definitely get some reward.

So, he took away the body, then he turned around and said to these three guys.

"If you want to live, you better leave this place and run this direction."

After that, he didn't stop at all. With full speed, he flew towards a location he already explored previously.

This is a relatively safe zone.

He rested for a while and decided to call it a day.

He moved towards the lake and decided to join with his teammates.

When he reached the place, he saw something abnormal n the stone pillar. The bottom part of the stone pillar, about one-fifth of it, was illuminated with a light blue glow.

He was a bit surprised and so were the rest of the people.

But he didn't care much. He just sat back near a tree.

The forests are now being roamed by the beasts. They can hear the grunts and growls of the beasts. The members at the pillar started feeling nervous.

Sam closed his eyes and leaned back. He wanted to relax a bit.
