Chapter 1168 - Withering The Farm

"So, what is the plan here? You marked this place as a secondary target in the map."

Sam asked as they monitored the entrance of the two through his surveillance equipment. But both Kumar and Noah didn't respond as they just simply gawked at the crystal tablet in Sam's hands and the crystal clear live feed displayed on it.

They knew that Sam has some high-level surveillance techniques up his sleeve, but they didn't expect it to be this good.

They don't even have to make a move to know what is happening and where it is happening.

Sam looked at both of them and asked.

"I asked you guys something. Can you be in the daze after you answer me?"

Only then did they recover and Noah said.

"The person-in-charge of this town is a young man from the Myriad beast sect. From what I know, he is an inner disciple who came here to finish the task to become a core disciple. This is the test for him. And he has a girlfriend, Who is a core disciple and she is well-known for her temper.

She has brought many troubles to the sect with her hot and short temper, but until now, they didn't escalate that much. But the rumor has it that she is causing trouble internally as the people trying to woo her are going after this kid, the fellow core disciples in particular. She couldn't do much against them, except to beat them up in the name of sparring.

This boyfriend of hers is trying his best to become core disciple so that she doesn't have to go through this."

"The information is pretty detailed," Sam said while digesting it. He understood the plan. If they take this guy out and leave an obvious trace that it is the work of the fiend tribe's work, the situation would be in the bag.

With a core disciple of the Myriad Beast sect, raging over it and making a rash move, the war is bound to go hot.

"This guy is a drunkard. He wallows in his own self-pity and says this story to the people inside the bar. I don't know if he is really drunk and talks all of this, or if he is trying to make sure that the news of him and that girl being lovers will spread far enough. But I got all of this information from his own mouth."

Kumar said from the side.

"We need to create chaos in the town. The produce from the lands and pastures directly under the control of the Myriad Beast sect is closely related to this young man's promotion to the core disciple.

I think we can take advantage of that." Noah spoke and started explaining her plan.

Sam listened carefully and after the explanation was over, he said.

"Just how long are you planning for this?"

"This is one of the moves we wanted to make from the start after destroying some resource points of fiend sect. But Dayus' interference messed it up. If not for the fact, that his plan to deal with the young master has a hundred percent success rate, we wouldn't have agreed."

"So, how much is the success rate for this plan?"

"Ninety percent. I don't know if that guy would react as we like. There is no saying what would be going in his mind at that moment. If he reacts as we expected, then things would be simpler."

With that, all three of them sported some casual disguises and entered the town after some surveillance. The guards are being strict and there is tension everywhere in the city.

City guards are trying their best. They are arresting every person that looked suspicious and release them only after they made sure that they don't have ill intentions.

Sam, Noah, and Kumar tried to be as normal as they could be and they visited different stores and farms that are selling herbs and animals. Particularly wood elemental beast cubs are in great demand here as many people are breeding them.

They occasionally brought something so that no one would misunderstand them.

After buying some beasts and herbs, they stayed in the most luxurious inn in the town asking for the highest of the services. They really seemed to have come to vacation. As they stayed for the whole day with nothing but spending money, the suspicion on them was lifted.

And this is the moment the three of them are waiting for. As soon as they entered the town they already noticed someone monitoring them, so they made sure that the other party will leave after not noticing anything wrong with them, and currently, that happened exactly like they anticipated it to go.

Now, they don't need to hide and can proceed with the plan.

They are currently staying in a cottage with a full view of the beautiful farm that was directly under the control of the Myriad Beast sect.

They can even see some beasts that are of goat type and cattle type moving around under the evening sun while they are grazing some high-quality grass grown on the edges of the fields.

They came to the backyard of the cottage and Noah took out some seeds as she placed them on the ground. When she was about to proceed, she suddenly stopped and asked.

"Can your surveillance collect the footage of this?"

"Of course, the formation is not that great anyway, it can be easily overridden."

With that Noah nodded and placed her hands on the ground as she started injecting wood elemental energy into the seeds.

Sam took out some formation plates and placed them around creating a complex concealing formation.

After it was done, he just watched the show unfold along with Kumar.

Noah closed her eyes as she constantly injected the wood elemental energy inside. The seeds started sprouting within a few seconds and the small sprouts that came out soon became a bit large and soon started to spread around.

It is a vine that is coiling around itself without any problem. But that is the only part of the vine that is spreading.

The roots of the seeds are also spreading from under it as they extend towards the farm of the Myriad beast sect at a rapid pace.

The roots almost acted like vines and they are not spreading out like normal.

Within ten minutes, the roots reached the field of the farm and Noah finally opened her eyes.

All of a sudden, instead of injecting the energy into the vines, she started sucking. But the vine didn't show any signs of energy depletion, it is still filled with a lot of vitality, but Noah is constantly sucking energy.

Sam who is looking at the farm through his surveillance was stunned and this time Kumar has more of a moderate reaction than him.

The herbs in the field are slowly being sucked of vitality and they are withering at a visible pace from the center of the field.

Now, Sam understood where all the excess energy is coming from.

Soon, not only Noah is getting more and more energy, even the vine is growing thicker and longer. It also started producing flowers and then the fruits which started extremely small.

This went on for a while and the staff at the farm only noticed the strange phenomenon of the fields only after it was too late.

The whole farm fell into chaos and the farmers working there immediately ran over to the authorities to report the situation.

The young man in charge came on a bird-type beast flying at a rapid pace and landed near the field.

He is the inner disciple they are targeting.

His went pale as he looked at the situation. The herbs are withering the grass already withered. And this phenomenon is spreading to all the corners of the farm. He doesn't even know why it happening and how it is happening.

"Go and check. What is happening here?"

He yelled and he also went into the field to check. But he couldn't find anything at the spot. All he could see is that the energy and vitality of the herbs is being sucked rapidly out of them into the ground.

Meanwhile, Noah finally stopped absorbing energy after the vines bore fruits.

They are brown-colored fruits that looked round and shiny.

She plucked them one by one and for every one of them, she plucked some vines that withered rapidly and turned into debris as it merged with the ground without leaving any trace.

She threw three fruits to Sam and said.

"How is my new trick? It might not be as fancy as yours, but it is good enough right?"

Sam looked at the fruits and used his observation ability and he was shocked by the results.

The fruit is essentially a mass of wood elemental energy.

This is like an elixir for a wood elemental cultivator.. For Sam currently, it might be able to boost his recovery, the same goes for Noah, but a low-level cultivator would definitely be able to achieve some breakthroughs, and that even goes for the Initiation stage Astral Plane cultivators.
