Chapter 2361: Drik's Frustration



Drik still kept on eye on Sam's side.

All he learned was that Rashma and Hari are leading the skeletal creatures. However, the concealment formation made by Sam made them invisible. The Drik team members always lost the track and they didn't dare to be aggressive in their pursuits.

They knew better than to out themselves directly. However, Drik kept on pushing them to get more details. But even when his team tried to be a bit more aggressive, they are unable to locate Sam and his team.

The only information that he managed to get was the creatures that Sam and his team lured out. He noticed that every turn, they lured a different creature. Even if a skeletal creature is close, they didn't lure it out if they had already done it before.

He also noticed that they are luring the creatures out at approximately forty minute intervals. That came as a surprise.

He called his formation team and asked them to see if they can investigate any of Sam's concealment formations and locate them. He also wanted to know or at least guess what Sam and his team are doing.

After all, there are only more than ten members on Sam's team, but they are doing a lot more from the looks of it, compared to his much larger team.

Of course, that was also fruitless.

As if that is not enough, Drik faced the next challenge which made his situation a hundred times worse.

"Drik, the scouting team has come back. You need to take a look."

Drik who was busy suppressing one of the newly captured skeletons was called by one of his team members.

He went to meet the scout team. Since he saw Sam's team lure out certain creatures, he wanted to take a look at them. So, he told them the scout team to locate them. He wanted to understand them.

However, from the state of the current scout team, he knew he made a bad judgement call here.

The scout team has ten people who are all skilled in shadow element or wind element. They are fast and has excellent stealth skills. However, right now, most of them lost their limbs, badly battered, faces and chests caved in with dozens of bones broken.

Only the leader of the scout team had fewer injuries, maybe because of his added prowess compared to the rest.

"What the hell happened to you guys?" He asked

"We are about to get surrounded. All types of skeletal creatures are coming towards our hide out from all the different directions. I don't know why, or how they are doing it. But slowly and steadily they are moving in this direction.

We tried to see if there is any anomaly, but we cannot identify anything.

In the process, we got mauled by more than a dozen black skeletons. We need to figure out a way out or change our location. Or we should make sure that our formation is completely air tight without any breaks in between.

If there is even a small gap and they are attracted by even one of us, we won't have a chance to break out. All the routes will be sealed and we will be facing certain death."

Drik started dripping with sweat. He shivered in the spot and asked in a shaky voice.

"How long do you reckon it will take for then to surround us completely?"

further.

He then thought of how confident Sam has been and how stealthy he has been all this while. This made him have second thoughts. But the price Sam asked for... it is indeed way too high.

"That greedy bastard."

He muttered under his breath.

...

More time has passed and Sam is almost done with the checklist. Once he is done, he can move

to the next phase of the plan. The next step is not related to getting out of this place. It

deviates from that a little bit.

Before that he has to be done with the checklist though.

He only has the tree-man left.

He kept it for the last because of the unique nature and also the restrictive and calculated

movements of the creature.

The rest of creatures are also mostly dedicated to certain areas, maintaining invisible territories. But if they are forcefully transported and lured out, they did move aroud. However, the tree-men are different. With the growth of the tree-men, the dead forest expanded bit by bit and no matter what tactics they used, they didn't manage to lure a tree- man out of it. If they go ahead and take a risk with it in the dead forest, then they would have to face the wrath of all the creatures.

So, they need to lay down a trap within the region and that needs them to take their sweet

time to achieve.

He had to shift the team there.

In this process, the scouts of Drik's team saw them move and set up near the dead forest. At

the same time, someone from Drik's team used more than two brain cells to figure out

something.

"Drik, I think Sam might have identified the crux of the whole pocket dimension. After collecting all the information from our scouts, I managed to list out every possible creature that existed in the pocket dimension and matched them with the creatures that Sam's team

lured out.

They managed to lure out everything. The only thing left is the tree-man and from what I heard, they moved to the dead forest now. This pattern might not seem like much, but I am sure there is something here.

Do you think, capturing all these creatures is the key to moving out of here?"
