nAfter leaving the place, Sam and the rest once again started hunting till night.

nIn two days, they have done seven beasts.

nThey went back to the tower at night to rest.

nFor the next two days, they went on a hunt again. Their difficulty increased as the beasts are far from these two traps and they are difficult to lure that far without disturbing the Level-5 beasts.

nThey were only able to deal with four beasts in two days. They are not exactly ready to involve the Level-5 beasts in the game.

nAccording to Sam's calculations, the swamp needs another beast to increase its level to be good enough to deal with a Level 5 beast and the banyan expanse needs another one.

nBut these two proved to be challenging for him. The beasts are too far away from him and they have to slowly lure them.

nThat took another two days. One day per beast.

nNow, it is the tenth day and on that day two lights flashed signifying two inheritances. Both of the inheritances appeared side by side.

nWhen they arrived at the spot they saw two stone pillars. Both of them are lightning type inheritances.

nThere are a total of eight spots maximum.

nBut Sam didn't enter any of them. From what Hawk and Philip described, the candidate must be of the same element to have any use after entering the inheritance, it would be a pure waste of time.

nAnd the candidates from the thunder-god temple couldn't be happier.

nOut of six, four of them are lightning element users including Arthur. The remaining two, one of them is a water element user and another one is a Warrior.

nSam's group just returned without even bothering to enter it.

nThey started hunting again and this time, the plan is a little too big.

nBecause they are going after Level-5 beasts. There are thirteen solo beasts in his territory and after that, the real challenge starts. Six habitats.

nSam and his group went to lure the beast. Their first target of Level-5. It is called Blood horned Leopard.

nA leopard-like beast having two horns in blood-red color.

nThe horns are one of the deadliest weapons that a beast could have at that level.

nIf a person gets stabbed by this horn, the material of the horn will pollute the blood-stream and as if the whole blood cells are infected with the virus, the platelets will stop functioning, so the victim will keep on bleeding without stopping.

nOne can only be healed after cleaning the whole blood. It is a type of poison to be precise. The horn will only dissolve in blood and not in any other solvent.

nLuckily Sam is immune to it too. The Hydra blood can take any poison. This is the nearest Level-5 beast to the banyan expanse.

nSam was the only one who is fast enough to bait this beast and for that too, he needs his harbinger.

nSo, he made the stay in the way so that they can deal some damage to the beast and provoke it enough to not leave him.

nIn this way, Sam can completely concentrate on escaping.

nIf not for the fact, he has to refrain from using the energy cells so that the treasures inside the beasts wouldn't be damaged, he wouldn't have to go through so much trouble.

nNow, it is time for them to implement the plan.

nSam entered the territory of the leopard and sprayed a huge amount of water on it.

nNo matter the world, the feline creatures don't like water that much. So, when the leopard was sprayed with the water, it was pissed so pissed that she didn't see that the color of the water is a little bit different than normal.

nIt directly leaped towards Sam and Sam flew away on the harbinger, after more than five minutes, when the leopard has about left its territory it was considering whether to give up the chase or not and at this moment, another wave of water hit its face.

nThis time, it didn't notice where it came from, but it was pissed nonetheless and blamed it all on Sam and resumed the chase.

nIn the same way, after another ten minutes, it started feeling like giving up and at the same time, its body started feeling a bit numb and hard to move, this time when it was about to turn around, a wind blade hit it hard on its tail making it screech in anger.

nSam looked at it and provoked it.

nThe beast couldn't hold it any longer and followed Sam with a furious expression.

nIn another five minutes, they reached the vicinity of the Banyan expanse, and just as they were about to enter it, Sam increased his altitude abruptly.

nThe leopard came to halt with great difficulty as it reached the edge of the expanse. It felt that something is odd, but before it could make sense, it could feel a hot metallic hit on its butt and due to the sudden piercing heat, it leaped into the expanse.

nThe vines moved abruptly and caught hold of the leopard. It tried wriggling out of the grip and in-process cut the vines.

nBut at this moment, a golden eagle, a large boar, and red color elephant, and four more beasts all came from behind the trees.

nTheir eyes are pink in color. They soon started beating and pulverizing the leopard and it soon became an unmoving corpse and then it became a zombie.

nSam is watching the whole scene from the top. At least a part of it.

nHe could feel a sense of hostility and at the same time a sense of gratitude to him from the whole banyan expanse. The parasite was happy that Sam was able to bring all the food it can have, but it was having a hard time controlling its urges to devour him too.

nSam can also observe this, right now, the parasite is in the phase of expanding. Since it got some new hosts like these beasts, it will give some leeway to the banyan expanse to grow a bit more, but it will take months and that too on the premise that it survives till that day.

nSam and his group, took more than half-a-day to deal with the leopard. It only took around twenty minutes to lure it.

nBut to scout the area again and again, so that no mishaps will happen and to check that the beast is in a normal condition and all, it took a lot of time.

nAfter all that, Sam sprayed the water on it mixed with poison of paralysis so that there wouldn't be any surprises and executed their plan

nAfter dealing with another beast, they went back to the tower.

nBy now, the candidates in other territories also started dealing with the beasts. But they didn't dare attack the Level-5 beasts. The beasts here are abnormally strong and their bloodlines are pretty high. Of course, not as high as Yanwu and the rest.

nBut they are enough to make these people afraid.

nFor the next three days, Sam and his group dealt with six more beasts, leaving only four of them,

nAnd by this time, the beasts also noticed the peculiarity. They could feel the changes the Sam and his group brought and are now extremely vigilant.

nBut that is okay, because, the beasts mostly act on instincts rather than their thoughts, and in another three days the four beasts are also done.

nNow only six habitats and the traps are left.

nTraps can be dealt with he already has more than one way to deal with each trap.

nBut the habitats are the most troublesome somethings.

nThe six habitats are Dark mane lions, the Steel Wolf tribe, the jade horned rhinos, the Black tusked elephants, Red-winged Ravens, and Sand badgers.

nOut of all these things, the badgers are the smaller tribe but also most troublesome to deal with. Because the badgers are the ones with the least sense of danger and also the least amount of fear.

nJust like the honey-badgers of the modern earth, these badgers will fight to the death with its opponent without any fear, reverence, or any other feeling.

nThese beasts are actually the only contradiction of the unspoken rules of the beasts and that is the weak fear the strong by instinct. But these badgers do have one restriction though and that is cultivation restriction.

nThey feel fear or rather aversion and reluctance to attack a being who has higher cultivation that itself. That too if the cultivation level is divided by a whole Level, not a sub-stage.

nOn the night of the fourteenth day, Sam is thinking about how to deal with the habitats and he couldn't help but look at the map he drafted.

nIn this, all the positions of the beasts are marked and now almost all of them are crossed. Only the six habitats are left.

nAs he was thinking about various scenarios on how to deal with these beasts, he got an idea after hours of brainstorming, and if this plan succeeds there is not much need for him to attack personally.
