Chapter 266: First Inheritance

At night, Sam and his friends gathered in the tower.

"Take adequate rest and don't come out unless necessary."

Leaving those words, Sam went on the Harbinger, back into the woods.

He is going to continue scouting. There are two reasons, one of them is moving in a group at night is dangerous and he is not confident to rescue all of them in case something unexpected happens.

The second reason is Sam has something he could rely on at the night and that is night vision.

That's right, he mastered night vision.

Generally, when the light rays which are reflected from an object hit the retina of the eye, the photoreceptors turn that light into an image in the form of electrical signals and transmit to the brain.

And the retina can only perceive the light rays that are within the visible spectrum.

Now, Sam is using the light element in such a way that he can use he can perceive the infra-red rays with his eyes. This all stemmed from his ability to change the frequency and wavelength of the light ray.

Even though Sam was busy, he never stopped working on improving his abilities.

At the night, the cultivators can truly perceive their surroundings with their spiritual sense, but that is limited by their cultivation and mental strength.

So, Sam opted for the night vision or more precisely thermal vision is that he can rely on his enhanced eyesight of a cultivator by modifying it.

Without any obstacle ahead, Sam can see something hundreds of meters away, even though he might not notice minute details, he can still perceive it to an extent.

Now with this thermal vision, as long as there are living organisms within a certain range even out of his spiritual sense, he can still see them.

It might not be omnipotent and but he can still have some advantage and with his skill, he is sure that he can sneak and escape in this forest no matter how dangerous it is.

So, for the whole night, Sam scouted the territory on towards the right side of the tower.

He managed to check half of it and came back at dawn.

He started drawing a rough map with all the traps and habitats they discovered yesterday and he discovered at night.

Now, he is planning to take these guys towards the place he scouted last night and continue from there, but he has to change his plans because there was the bright light that was shot into the sky.

At the same, time on the top floor of the tower, a plaque was erected out of the floor. Sam could sense it and immediately went to check.

On the monument, it was noted.

"The Wave Inheritance

Opened."

They immediately understood that the bright light is the place where that inheritance has opened.

It was on the other side of the center point of the island according to his measurements.

Sam and their teammates had mapped out a certain route till the mid-point. So, they moved full speed ahead.

Sam and Watt are having the easiest time, the rest are grudgingly looking at the two of them.

But they can't do anything about it but to swallow and accept.

They successfully avoided all the dangerous places and arrived at the center point of the island.

There is a huge circular lake at this spot and the place of inheritance is right across the lake.

Yesterday, they didn't explore the lake, because this place is the junction at which all the four territories join, so the probability of meeting all the other teams is higher.

But now, they have to cross the lake.

Sam and Watt looked at each other and came to a conclusion.

Sam held hands of Philip and Jack while Watt held Hawk's hand and they floated more than twenty meters high above the ground.

The three of them couldn't help but curse at Sam and Watt for carrying them like ragdolls.

But that was only a safe way, after crossing the lake, they finally escaped their embarrassing situation and ran towards the place.

When they reached, the saw a large rectangular stone pillar erected from the ground.

On the stone pillar, there is a cavity in the shape of the palm. Apart from that, there is already another group of people who are just approaching. They are people who are completely unfamiliar with Sam.

He guessed they might be the people from the northern region. They exchanged glances and stayed vigilant, but they didn't exchange any words nor did they start a fight, because they knew that the rest of the teammates will come in a while and they would be one reaping benefits.

And why did Sam estimate that they are from the northern region.? Because he is familiar with the thunder god temple's elite Great realm cultivators and he also saw the son of Ark who is leading the Arian team.

This team is definitely not one of those two.

Soon in ten minutes, the two teams arrived.

One of them is completely haggard as they seemed to have survived some serious attack.

The other team is also out of breath, seems like they faced some troubles on their way, and from the way they came, they have access to this place without reaching the lake.

Only, Sam's team has to cross the lake, since this is the opposite area.

Sam looked at the familiar faces. From the thunder god temple, the one who came is actually Arthur and another five people.

Arman is nowhere to be seen.

From the Arian's team, he only saw Arc's son, Andrew. Other than him, Sam didn't remember any other person.

After everyone came, the bright light disappeared and a string of words projected from the stone pillar.

"Only four people are allowed to enter the inheritance. Place your arm on the cavity and you shall have a chance to contend for the inheritance.

More suitable for water element users"

These words came and disappeared.

Everyone looked solemn.

"One member of a team." Arthur raised his hand and proposed it. Sam doesn't have any problem with that.

Even though he has a water element, he has zero interest in the remaining inheritances, he is here mainly for the inscription and the formation side of the inheritance.

As these two trades are the ones one needs to constantly research, he is more curious about the inventions of Murali.

He was genuinely impressed by what is inside the tower of wind.

He gestured Hawk to take this one for which the latter thanked him and moved forward. Similarly, three other people came out of the remaining three groups.

Now, it is time to decide who should go first. Sam just gestured Hawk to go first.

When the rest were about to say something, he looked at them coldly. Two teams Arman and thunder god temple stopped in their tracks, they knew Sam.

Particularly Arthur and Andrew. This guy can even sell the techniques which are supposed to be the part of the inheritance to them. They don't want to experience the same thing.

Seeing the reaction of the two teams, the team from Northern Arian also stopped. Sam noticed that a person from that team is looking at him constantly. He just gave a look and didn't bother with him much.

As soon as hawk placed his hands on it, he disappeared in a flash. The remaining three followed.

Sam looked at the remaining members vigilantly.

He doesn't want to waste his time here, but he doesn't know where the person would come out and if he comes out at this place only, then there would definitely be trouble.

After all, everyone is here for fortune, and out of four members, there is a high possibility that only one of them can get their hands on the treasure. Then would the remaining three just let this go?

Of course not. There is a high chance that a might battle might occur. He has to ensure their safety.

But wasting this much time, on an unexplored land, is something he is extremely unwilling to do.

After some thought, Sam took out a few formation discs and a bunch of methane grenades and gave them to Jack and Philip.

He is confident in their abilities and with these he can be rest assured that even if they weren't able to win, they can at least hold on until Sam and Watt arrived.

After that, both Sam and Watt flew back on the hoverboards. Arthur is looking at the two people hovering on the boards with eyes filled with envy.

Sam got used to these gazes. Many people want to have a board like that, particularly these young masters who like showing off.

But they cannot get their hands on one. Because there are only two in the whole world and one could easily guess where they came from if they robbed it from Sam.

The second thing is that there are many artisans who are researching the principle of these hoverboards. The only thing they can guess is that Sam used the wind element. Other than that, there is nothing else they knew.
