Sam hovered over as he crossed the nearby rocky terrain. After a few minutes, he still couldn’t find a flat land in the near vicinity. He even reached the maximum altitude he can on the hoverboard, but he still didn’t see anything within the next few kiloters.
But he didn’t give up. He just traveled slowly. As he moved forward, he suddenly felt as if he passed through so energy barrier, because he felt a jolt of energy, and then suddenly a voice sounded in his head.
"Welco to teorite Island.
This Island is created by so god who is bored out of his mind and threw it to this planet. For those who crossed the three stages, they can explore this island for the next three months. The island is full of teorite sands hidden in various places and every place is covered with a formation.
The formation adjusts its level by your own strength and the main difficulty lies in its complexity rather than just the energy level.
If you can crack the formation, you can take all the teorite sand within that formation.
There are hundreds of formations like that. In fact, the whole island is locked in here with so formations, if you can find them, you can take the whole island with you.
But by the end of three months, if you couldn’t crack even a single formation, you will be allowed access to three teorite sands, but only a limited amount for each person.
There are no threats from the island, except the other humans who might have entered with you. So, please be careful."
Sam frowned at the voice. It is extrely playful and carefree as if he couldn’t care less about what is going on. As for god creating this, he knew that soone from the higher realms must have done it.
Otherwise, there is no way the Shesh would have co to this world. Even if it was here like the Raiju or so other beasts which are present in this world, there is no way one could refine the heart into a spiritual weapon. It is almost impossible to do so on this planet.
Sam waved his hand and the three of his friends ca out. He wanted to see if the barrier will allow them to co. And when they ca out, the first they did is glare at Sam, but before they could follow up with the next actions, they are appeared stunned for a second, which ans the voice seed to have said the sa thing in their heads.
But after that initial shock, they looked at Sam once again and are ready to have a go, but suddenly Sam raised his aura. His recent breakthrough made them halt in their tracks.
"Don’t co near , or you guys will regret it. You wouldn’t be able to handle it." Sam said with a proud look. The three of them gritted their teeth.
They looked at his face and noticed the green and purple shades all over.
"What happened?" Watt was the first one to ask.
"Well, it is a new poison which I used to breakthrough. But it is extrely potent, which left these side effects.
Okay, let’s get down to business, find the teorite sands as fast as possible. There are only three months, it might seem like a lot, but it is not considering we couldn’t even estimate the whole area of the island.
By the way, try to find out the formations which are holding up the island. If possible, let’s just take this away.
Try your luck."
With that, he didn’t wait. If the three of them ganged up, Sam couldn’t retaliate with full power, they would die if he couldn’t control so he wouldn’t obviously fight them.
Which ans, he couldn’t stay there until they realize. By the ti they et again, they would forget about it.
After all, they are no archenemies. They could understand why Sam did that.
Sam moved fast. The terrain didn’t change much, but it is still a bit different.
He started moving all over the place and after half-an-hour, Sam found the first formation. This is the sand Sam is extrely familiar with.
The Black teorite Sand.
And it is not actually a single formation.
There are three formations in place but two of them are already empty. There are so traces of the Black teorite sand there.
The people who ca here before seed to have done a great job.
The underground forces seed to have so decent candidates who did a great job. But they didn’t seem to have taken all of it.
He doesn’t know how many teorite sands are there on this island and how many formations are there, but at least he got one here.
He started examining the formation.
He noticed that the formation is not a fixed one. It is a variable formation. It changes with ti. But it is not like how Sam designed previously; it doesn’t change the nodes. Rather, it is a complex formation with five layers and the active layers change one by one.
The change of the layers is extrely random and with the variation, in the active layers, a complex formation will be ford.
This will quite confusing. Sam never thought about using formations like this.
It gave new possibilities. Because for a minute when formations one, three, and five are active, one kind of complex formation which is specialized in defensive attacks is activated and when formations two, four, and five are active it is a closed slaughter formation.
This is sothing he never thought of. All he cared about is complexity in activation and deactivation.
But now that he saw this, Sam is going to research in this area.
But before that, he has to find a way to deal with the formation. He started studying the energy flow which proved to be extrely difficult. Due to constant variation and the random activation of various formations, Sam is having trouble pinpointing the timing to crack.
As long as he could crack the activated formations at that instance, then it would be done.
To catch the timing is the hardest task. He couldn’t even observe the energy patterns of the first one. Rather the energy fluctuations of the remaining formations are interfering and by the ti he is close to cracking them, the first formation is going dormant and a new sequence is coming up.
All his analysis is going to waste.
In fact, there is another way, the most straight forward thod, to break the formation with brute force.
But he doesn’t want to do it because the combinations of the formations and variations include attack type formations. If he is not confident in dealing it with a single blow, then there is no use.
As for using disintegration and taking the nodes out, due to the cycles of variation, the backlash wouldn’t be limited to him, the insides of formation will also be affected and the sand will be damaged.
As for energy cells, it is even more unusable. If the formations are affected by the energy blasts no matter how small it is, there is a chance that the energy of the formation would beco chaotic and it will cause another energy explosion which would damage the teorite sand.
He is not ready to sacrifice even a small bit of the teorite sand in this place.
This will bring him to a deadlock. He doesn’t want to battle and he doesn’t want to destroy, then he can only crack it.
As for his friends, all they could do is battle and brute force through the formations.
Sam just wanted to avoid that, because it would take a long ti. Even though it takes ti to crack them, he is still okay with this approach because, once he gets past the first formation, he would get away to crack the rest of them easily.
If he could crack one formation, Sam could use the sa thod to crack the rest of them. Even if that ans spending a lot of ti on the first one.
After many trials, Sam sat down on the ground and decided to take a look at the nodes. He wants to see if the nodes are formation flags or any other thods that are used.
And when he noticed that they are not formation flags, he is not one bit surprised.
The formation flags are indeed the best nodes to be used. But the working thod would be rigid and there are not many things one can do with that. The formation flags are only good until they want to make a standard and proper formation with a standard blueprint.
A formation like this with these many features is almost impossible to do, at least Sam couldn’t do that at his level.
After continuously observing for more than three hours towards the nodes, Sam had a look of extre shock.
He hasn’t seen a formation of this complex in a while.
If Sam’s guess is right, this formation can adjust itself according to the opponent’s cultivation level without a need for a spirit. This is sothing he absolutely didn’t expect.
That is only the tip of the iceberg. He noticed that this is a combination of not only five formations, but there is also an array of inscriptions that are laid down in between the five formations which are responsible for the activation and variation of the formations.
For the first ti, Sam is actually feeling extrely numb from the amount of information he has to process.
