Chapter 1629: Help
While the friends are training and goofing around in their camp. Another week pa.s.sed by.
But in this week, Sam constantly received the latest news with the help of shadow mice and the spectres from the nearest city.
He was looking out for the information about the Divine Formation Mountain"s movements. He learned that the search parties were cancelled, but there is a pa.s.sive search going on around.
Along with that, the news came out that the Mountain Master himself is looking for them and all the favors he pulled turned out to be useless.
So, in the past week in a way the searches increased as everyone is interested in gaining the Mountain Master"s favour. In fact, the original organizations that ran the search parties also increased their efforts.
They are afraid that they will lose the favour of this Mountain master. After all, they put too much effort and too many resources into it. It is not something they can lose at the moment.
But this time, Sam didn"t worry. He is confident that he can hide for a few days in the Grey circle even if all of the circle is searching for him.
Even last time, the only reason he left along with his friends is because he wanted to relax before things really get serious and also he doesn"t want to put a lot of effort in hiding since their only requirement was to not get caught.
So, leaving was better particularly when he can do that in an instant.
Now, it is necessary for them to stay here and learn the important news.
So, the whole week, he learned how different people are searching for him and his friends in various ways. But there is one news on the last day of the week, that he very much didn"t feel okay with.
It is actually more of a message than the news and the message is from the Mountain Master to Sam.
"The person that the Mountain master"s disciples brought here and was in the coma has been recovering.
Since Sam and his friends are here to deal with this guy, then can come and try if they are really competent."
That is the gist of the message and Sam heard it.
"Do you think this is a trap?"
"It is not just a trap, it is a blatant invitation into a trap. This is going to be really troublesome if we just dive into it headfirst."
"So, what are we going to do?"
"We are going to reach the Divine formation mountain, set up some of our traps and then finally go and deal with the Mountain Master and his disciples.
"It would be hard to get into the Mounain range though.
After all, there is a lot of attention focused on that area. Many people are coming in and going as if there is nothing else in their path."
"Well, that actually plays to over advantage."
"So, we are taking up good old-fashioned infiltration? Do you think that works?"
"Well it is not a hundred percent there yet. But it soon will be.
Anyway, remember everything I said to you guys until now and remember the things that you learned in the past week. This is going to be the toughest job yet and we might need at least three disguises by the time it was finished.
We are not going to operate on the Mountain range for more that three hours before coming out of it through the transference token.
If the transference token was applied after you got caught, and you cannot warp out of the capture, then there is a second thing you use. It is actually a blue pill, but I don"t know exactly what pills stand for what.
But when you use it, your body will release a discharge of spiritual energy that creates something that will destroy the surrounding spiritual barriers for an instant."
"So, we need to time that precisely. This is going to be hard."
"Of course, it is going to be, but at least it gives you a chance to really escape from situations. And if the s.h.i.t really hits the ceiling and there is no other way, you can only resort to the emergency means I told you about.
But do remember that it is going to dangerous if you are even a second late, but there is a great chance that it will work properly."
"Alright, we get it. Stop nagging us so much." Philip yawned.
Sam just shook his head and said.
"Just be careful."
They discussed some more of their plans and finally made their move.
They directly went to the surrounding forests of the Divine formation Mountain and started scouting that mountain range.
As expected there are many people who are visiting the Divine formation Mountain because of various reasons.
One of them is of course to catch Sam and his friends. They want to get as many details as they can. And the secondary reason is also related to the first one. If people that are coming for the first reason are some influential families, clans or organizations, there are some other people who are coming in hopes of being recruited by some of these organizations.
They know for sure that catching Sam and his friends is an achievement that they cannot even dream to have. There is no way, they could just s.n.a.t.c.h this from the rest of the organziations, so instead of trying to achieve the impossible, they would rather join some and make a significant contribution in the process and finally gain some favour from these organizations.
So the mountain range is bustling.
Sam and his friends wore their first set of disguises. They are dressed up like some kind of creatures that is bred by multiple races. They didn"t go for the main area of the mountain, but there are some people that are specially employed by the mountain master that are scouting all of the mountain range.
These people belong to some kind of hidden mercenary organization. No one knows exactly what organization that is, but people call it Night and all of their people dress in thick dark black.
No matter who or what they are doing as long as they feel that people are suspicious, they can directly capture them and bring them to the Divine formation mountain.
The first part of Sam"s plan is obviously scouting and when they did that, they noticed that most of the Night members are actually staying around the formation nodes that he identified.
The Divine formation mountain obviously has many formations. There is even a barrier that restricts transference tokens from taking people out of the mountain range, and there are a dozen other formations that serve many different purposes.
Sam identified as many as he can and scouted the places with the nodes. But the presence of the Night members might hinder their next plan.
After three hours of scouting all of them came out of the range and met at their meeting point.
"So, I am sure you guys have seen the Night members. What do you think? Does anyone of your scouting locations have an opening?" Sam asked his team.
"No. Not a single one."
"Same here."
"Same for me too."
"My situation is worse. I have double the security in every one of my points. We need to be careful with this."
"So, what"s the plan?"
"Distraction. We need to distract the Night members and make them move from the nodes."
"That"s easy, all we have to do is create some commotion near the node areas and things would be fine."
"Its not that simple. Remember that our opponent is just as smart as us and they know how we think. Because they are also similar to us in many ways and approaches. They will find that out easily. As soon as we create a commotion at the nodes, the first thing they will examine is around the nodes to see if we messed with them."
"Then what do we do?"
"What else? We will create a commotion, but in a different way. But for that, we need someone strong and crazy with the guts to deal with the Night members."
Sam smiled and took out the dimensional drifter.
He wanted to deal with this matter on his own along with his friends, but with the way things are going, he need some help from back home.
So, he went back to bring some of his team members.
Night Ghost, Saber Monarch, Five Elemental King, Paras, and Vidyut.
He brought all five of them.
"I knew you would need me, Sam. Everyone thought you ditched us, of course, it makes sense that you ditch others, how can you ditch me. I am your most capable subordinate."
Sabre Monarch said as he put his hand arm over Sam"s shoulder and said with a cheeky grin.
"You are just at the middle stage of Consummate after all this time? I am already at the Initial stage. In a year I am sure I will kick your a.s.s. What"s the point of having you around then?"
The cheeky grin froze.
