While Watt and the remaining mbers are thinking of how to make their moves on the gangs, Sam is struggling inside the tower.
At this mont he stood there at the spot with his eyes closed. He is sweating profusely that his hair was soaked. He is feeling an intense head-ache as if soone was splitting his head apart.
The ape is also going through extre pain. But the pain is all over the body as its blood underwent a transformation.
Sam is doing his best to hold up. He is at the final step. Only one percent of blood in the ape has to be activated and he would be done with it.
After more than five hours of struggle, Sam relaxed a bit. The stress on his brain and body reduced, he opened his eyes as he watched the ape undergo its final physical transformation.
The ape’s muscles beca smaller but the density increased and its form beca closer to humanoid form.
The posture also beca straighter and one can even see the strong muscular outline even when it was covered with the light golden fur.
When the process was finished, the aura of the ape completely changed. It beca more imposing and also more superior.
Its presence reeked of brutality but that only lasted for a second.
Sam shifted both of them to the location of garden. The ape imdiately went on an eating spree over all the fruits.
It needs a lot on energy to recover and so do Sam.
Sam looked at a patch of land in water region. The surroundings of the land beca completely withered and the earth was even corroded.
That is the place where the toxic water he collected from the indigo patch was kept.
Even though, it was surrounded by a formation, it only to prevent it from flowing.
Inside the formation, the majestic skeleton was left within the pool along with the egg.
Last ti on the sea bed, Sam was unable to examine the skeleton closely to study its features.
All he did is to identify key parts of the skeletons to identify the species. He planned to look into it after the mission was over completely and then he will have a lot of ti to observe and he can unseal the egg and let it hatch.
Right now, he is in a pathetic state. He is both physically and ntally exhausted.
At this mont, he didn’t even have energy to eat.
Sam ca outside and sat in his room cross-legged.
He took out a formation disc which he made himself and placed it on floor before filling the room with spiritual stones.
He needs to cultivate for so ti to regain his physical strength and ntal strength.
He started devouring the energy from the spirit stones.
At this mont both Yanwu and Sky also ca out of the divine dinsion in their smaller forms. When they saw the absorption rate of Sam, they felt that it might be a good ti to breakthrough to the late stages of Novice
After finishing the blood line activation, Sam is like a dried-up sponge, if Yanwu and Sky ford an energy link with him and started sharing his energy, he will take forever to recover.
So, the best choice is to wait until he is stabilised and then form a link. With the montum of his absorption, they can achieve a breakthrough.
But they have to wait for more than a day for Sam to get back in shape.
anwhile, all the remaining teammates are busy. They don’t know what they have to do, when they learned of the city’s situation.
The cri rate of the city is extrely high, in fact more or less all the illegal businesses are being done quite openly.
The city guards are lazy and they don’t seem to care less about the situation. They are like lap dogs of the officials, continuously doing their bidding.
The officials are even worse. They are even more lazy and their only active ti is when they collect taxes and embezzle their money.
The Count himself seed like a bandit. Because, he is the person who takes the major portion and this news didn’t even co from the shadow mice, all this news ca from so commoners they enquired.
The lives of people here are terrible.
They even learnt that the previous count, the current Count’s father is also sa and they lived sa.
So people after getting stronger will leave the place, but the commoners don’t have that chance and the cultivators who are strong enough will not be ssed with.
The only people who have better lives are so cultivators who act as rcenaries and hunters who sell their hunt. The external traders will also go through so terrible plight if they want to do business here.
Only big dogs like Golden horse trading and so other trading companies can survive peacefully, even they didn’t have much profit in this god-forsaken city.
After two days, they still kept on roaming around the city while investigation.
Sam is still inside the inn, after he recovered his physical state, he beca better, but his ntal state was still in a ss.
Yanwu and Sky ford an energy link as well as consciousness link in order to make a breakthrough as well as sooth his ntal frustration.
He didn’t know what is happening with his teammates and didn’t know the situation of the city.
Because, when the city was in this state, the reason will not be simply the laziness of the officials, but also their involvent in the cris.
But the teammates failed to think about it. They felt that the shadow mice will bring them the news if and they can confirm it.
At this mont inside the count mansion, eting hall.
"Father, I am pretty sure that they are candidates from the Special branch."
A young man said who sat on the seat beside the head seat.
"Then why do you think they are here?"
"I heard that they are given a mission, but we don’t know what that mission is." The young man replied.
If Sam and his teammates saw this young man, they might recognise him. Because, he is also a candidate who participated in the first phase of the competition and he is also part of the group who surrounded Sam.
He gave up in the middle and didn’t manage to stay till the first phase is completed.
"I stayed back in the marquis city only to learn of their mission, but the details are tightly sealed and no one from my friends made it to the next phase. But I think there is one more person who is missing and he is the leader of this group.
He is also a rank 5 scholar artisan, he has quite a big business in Blue fla city. The most famous weapon shop and the most famous restaurant shop are his. He would have a lot of possessions on him." The young man said with a greedy light.
"Oh, do you have so problem with him?" The middle-aged man who is also count of the city asked. He knew his son too well.
"You could say that. But I am not lying to you about him, he is really rich" Obviously, he is not willing to swallow the warning Sam gave him. Count cougar thought for a second and looked at another middle-aged man who is standing beside him.
"Keep an eye on them and find out if that guy is here with them."
The middle-aged nodded his head and left the place.
After the man left, the young man asked.
"Father, did you find the candidate for your ritual. Ti is running out. If you don’t do this early, your cultivation will drop."
"I didn’t. I am also getting anxious over it. Too bad, even after killing half of the clan for that girl, that girl turned out to be not suitable. Damn it, I even risked my life by killing your grandfather just to take over the authority and killed half of the family just to finish the last step. Just thinking about it is making angry."
If soone heard this, they might even feel the viciousness of father-son duo as madness and the sharp crazy light inside their eyes didn’t help to give a good impression.
The middle-aged man who left them already knew what they might be talking about and he didn’t mind that at all.
He just left the place like nothing happened.
At this mont, Watt and the remaining people didn’t know that they were targeted by the Count even before they found a problem with him.
They are still actively investigating, completely focussed on their jobs.
Sam, is still completely oblivious to what is happening and is still cultivating. He is trying to break through the late stage of Novice and he is on verge of success.
