That night, Sam once again waited at his window. But no one came. He was a tad bit disappointed. Even though there are still fourteen days, there is no way he would want to stay here for that long.
He wanted to finish this whole farce in the next five days and flee directly.
The next day, he went back to the inscription ink shop and once again looked through the catalog. The prices of the ink inflated like crazy.
There is still no increase in blood supply. Sam doesn"t know if they knew that the processors or taking the blood. But he didn"t ask. He just wanted to see if he would meet that guy again. But he didn"t come. If he came and had the same discussion again, he would have some information available.
He went back to the forest and came back with a large number of beasts. He brought more than a dozen and when the processor saw this, he was dumbfounded. He didn"t expect that there would be someone who would bring this many.
But this is not the first time though, the hunting teams also tend to bring large loots.
With this large quant.i.ty, Sam was finally able to get a chance to wait for a long time at the shop and thus the shopkeeper invited him to take a seat.
Sam entered a room which is made for waiting, he sat on a chair and closed his eyes. After confirming that n.o.body is near him, a hornet came out of the divine dimension and moved to the deeper places of the shop.
The hornet was good enough to move to some rooms, where there are special instruments, but it wasn"t able to move to the processing room, where the work is currently going on.
But he didn"t worry at all. With another wave of his hand an even smaller hornet came out and it went to that door. This time, this thing can fit inside the door gap. Once it went inside, he immediately connected his consciousness with the bug and got a view for a short period of time.
It is the blood extraction of the beasts. The first thing they would do when processing is to extract the blood.
He looked at the process which was being done meticulously as if he was afraid of spilling even a small amount, Sam smiled and brought the hornets back.
They would die if he let them stay there for a second.
Soon, the time has come for Sam to leave the shop and even this time, the shopkeeper wanted to buy the blood.
But Sam didn"t agree and when he received the spatial ring he saw that the blood quant.i.ty was reduced by half.
He didn"t ask and directly went to the inscription ink shop and sold the blood to that guy. Even though, quant.i.ty smaller than he needed, he was still delighted.
It was only noon, by the time this happened. So, Sam once again entered the forest and came with a large harvest and sold the blood to the shop in the evening,
The shopkeeper was clearly so delighted by the favor, that he insisted that Sam had a meal with him and both of them went to the restaurant as the sunset.
After the meal was done, Sam went to the outskirts, where the soldiers met with the processing shop owners. He took out a special recording crystal that extremely unnoticeable. It is a secret surveillance device that was barely tested. And its range is only up to Pre-transcendent cultivators.
He stuck the device to the wall and pressed a b.u.t.ton that activated a formation and made the device blend in with the surroundings.
After making sure it was set, he came back to his house and waited for midnight.
Today, the soldiers came once again and went to the same spot. This time they discussed something with the shop owners. Sam didn"t follow them though, the next morning he simply went there and took a look at the recording.
The video played.
"Sir, it has been getting harder and harder to get the blood supply. The customers are not agreeing to sell the blood directly, there are only a few and far between. Because the inscription ink shops started offering more price due to our activities, everyone wants to sell their blood there."
The one who spoke is the person who Sam saw at the ink shop.
"If it is just a higher price, why are you even asking me? All you need is to spend more money."
"If it is just the problem of money, then we could have really done as sir said, but the problem is everyone wants to curry favor the inscription masters, it is becoming hard to beat that with just some monetary value."
"Convincing these people is your problem." The soldier replied in a cold tone.
"Sir, please don"t say that. We already resorted to some trickery and robbed the blood from the customers. They also started noticing, but since it is the initial days during the crime, it is still okay. If we continue with this, we will have a hard time maintaining our business."
The soldier coldly looked at him and said.
"I don"t care how you deal with this problem, but you have to supply the blood. The name of the soldiers and the army shouldn"t come out at all. This is top-secret."
With that, the soldiers turned around and left.
He didn"t care about the remaining video of these people throwing tantrums.
He understood that the soldiers wanted this blood and since they are not even daring enough to buy it directly, then it must be something related to their military secret.
Sam thought of many possibilities that are absurd and crazy.
He went into the forests and changed clothes. He wore a full black cloak and a mask full of inscriptions. He can escape from most people"s perception.
The dark element energy surged in his body and he sneaked towards the camp. If he moved through the city, it would have been easy, but he has to move through the forest taking a long detour. He reached the destination in an hour and he could see the activities in the army camp a bit far away.
He let out the hornets in his possession and sent them to inspect the situation in the surroundings.
As they sped up, he noticed that there is actually not much activity at all.
All the people that are running around all weak humans that are only at the great realm stage. They are running around as they held some vats of blood and ran from one room to another.
There is one room in common though, from there they are carrying out the vats and taking them to distribute them all over to the other places.
Sam grew curious, after making sure that no one is outside the barracks, he moved swiftly and arrived at the one room.
All the rooms are constructed with bricks and that included the supposed barracks of the soldiers.
He didn"t direction go in, but just climbed the single room that was constructed separately and after he went up. He placed his palm and started using his observation and disintegration ability to create a small hole on the rooftop.
He must say that these people all made a lot of arrangements regarding so many complicated methods of infiltration, but they didn"t guard against the simplest and crude methods.
He looked through the hole, but couldn"t see, there is a concealment formation and Sam used the eye technique to see beyond that.
What he saw shocked him.
There is one large concealment formation in the room and that is concealing the sounds, vision, and even smell.
There are a bunch of humans and Half-Nagas that have a thick concentration of Naga blood inside them. They are all tied up and unconscious.
There is a large vat of red blood that was freshly taken out of a spatial ring, it is the same type of vat he saw in the processing shop.
There is a red-scaled Naga, with a golden-colored hue all over the scales and he seemed to be making calculations as he wrote some details on a book.
He caught a human and slit the veins as he started collecting the blood. He mixed the blood with the beast"s blood.
After mixing, he poured the blood into some small vats. All of a sudden, he tapped a formation disc that was on the floor and it changed completely.
He pushed the vats out and the great realm cultivators came and carefully picked those vats to take them out.
After that, the Naga closed the formation once again and started repeating the procedure.
Soon, all the prisoners are dead and he collected the bodies and walked to the rear of the room. Sam slowly crawled over and saw him throw the dead bodies to some Blood Hounds. They started tearing on the flesh and devouring the meat.
When the Naga came back, he started calculating once again.
Sam felt weird all over when he saw this. The camp is not at all vigilant. In fact, the security is too loose. Except for the few nascent stage Nagas who are standing guard at the entrance of the city and the forest, the camp is extremely easy for him to infiltrate.
As long as he could maintain this shadow form and merge here, no one can find him unless, and of course they are shadow element specialists or they have higher cultivation than him.
Sam doesn"t necessarily need to be concealed all the time, all he wanted was a chance to see what is happening and he even has plans to make some commotion. So, he didn"t waste too much time concealing himself to the superior cultivators.
But the situation is far easier than expected.
