Chapter 132 - Challenge
When Sam reached the boar's place, he didn't find any other boars, it seemed to be roaming alone. He cleaned up the place which has some herbs and left the place. He kept on searching and searching.
Finally, he found something that made him a little delighted and those are Spring fowls. These fowls look like a crossing between chicken and a pigeon. With chicken's body and pigeon head.
Their size is also similar to a chicken. But the most important thing is that they are delicious to eat and they can be easily reared. They feed on worms, bugs, seeds, grass, grain, flowers. They don't even need beasts with spiritual energy to grow.
But most people don't want to rear them, because their reproduction rate is quite high.
For Sam though, this is exactly what he needs. These Spring fowls will not only be able to provide food for termites, they can also be used as a good food if they are properly reared.
If these spring fowls are reared with water and food full of spiritual energy, their meat will be quite a bit of tonic food and it is mostly used for purification and revitalisation of blood and they can also be helpful in mending the internal injuries.
But due to the ignorance of the most people, they don't know that rearing these will bring these many benefits and they only see their effort and hard labour required.
This is a big opportunity to Sam though. He knew exactly how to rear and what to feed them to get these benefits. And he never thought that he would find them here and they seem to be only level 1.
Sam immediately went on a spree. These spring fowls due to low combat power roam in flocks and they can't fly much.
So, Sam started combing the area. These fowls can grow faster if they have good food, but with their combat power they are lucky to get normal grass and earth worms.
Sam couldn't hide his grin. He caught more than twenty fowls, a total of ten pairs of male and female.
Even though, it will take time to grow them, he can still provide food from normal hunt to the termites until the fowls increase in number.
The only disadvantage of these fowls are they can only grow until they are Level 5 and are only beneficial to those under Grand realm cultivation. Only they can see substantial benefits.
As for those beyond that they can only see this is a delicacy.
After catching the fowls and placing them inside the dimension, Sam went on to search for anything else and soon, he found something. It is a rank 2 herb which helps in making some spiritual energy recovery potion or pills.
Just as he was about to pluck it, someone shouted from behind.
"Hey, kid. You better leave that herb right there."
Sam turned over and he saw a group of three people walking towards him. All of them are in Initial Novice stages.
He didn't even put them in eyes and immediately stored the herb.
The youth in the middle seemed to get angry.
"How dare you? Attack him."
He immediately gave an order to his two subordinates to attack, but Sam released his aura of Late stage Novice which halted them in their tracks.
When they saw Sam's hostile look, the youth was frightened and when Sam walked towards him ,he became even more frantic and took a few steps backward.
"Don't come near me. You can't get away with it, if you do something to me. Do you know who my father is?"
Then only Sam observed them and saw that these robes are of Pharmaceutical tower, he didn't know which city they are from, but judging from that guys words, he might be son of a high- level person in Pharmaceutical tower.
Sam doesn't like these guys who throw away their father's names and get away with anything, these are also a type of young masters and these are worst kind.
So, he got an idea and said.
"I know who your father is." Sam's voice was a bit sarcastic.
But the youth got puzzled, if Sam really knew his father then he wouldn't have that hostile look. 'Maybe he mistook me for his enemy's son.' That youth thought and for confirmation he asked.
"Who do you think my father is?"
But Sam's response made him speechless.
Sam made a surprised and shocked expression and said.
"Poor child, you don't even know who your father is? Didn't your mother tell you that?"
The youth didn't know what to say as his face became red, he gritted his teeth and shouted.
"I am asking for confirmation. If you really know my father or not."
"Confirmation? Why are so confused about your own father to ask a stranger like me for confirmation?"
The youth got angry and embarrassed, he knew that Sam is playing with him, but the fact that he couldn't do anything about it is making him even more frustrated.
He swallowed his anger and asked.
"Do you know my father or not?"
"Nope."
"Then why did you say you know him."
"Well, at first I thought I know him, but after you said even you need to confirm who your father is, how would I know whether he is your father or not."
Getting played by Sam, the youth almost cursed his eighteen generations.
Sam smirked at the expression of this guy and just left on his harbinger. This is just a small interlude. He has a lot of things to do anyway.
With Sam's harbinger, he is very fast as he collected a lot of herbs and trees and hunted some small beasts.
After some thorough search, he found some bulb (Vegetables that grow in roots of a plant like Carrot, potato etc.) type vegetables.
These vegetables are like carrots but the texture is a little different. He saw many small animal tracks which seemed to belong to rabbits and rats.
For the next few days, Sam searched for these small beasts which grow easily and won't take much time.
Particularly, the red-tailed rabbits which taste great are a lot in this forest. Sam never thought that this area is full of these weaker animals and there seemed to be a lot of them. He caught more than fifty rabbits in the next week.
He will create a farm area inside the divine dimension and the beasts will take care of the rest.
With Yanwu, Sky and Ape present, things would be quite easy for him to manage them. After all, they would display absolute obedience with the pressure of these bloodlines.
After this week, Sam went back into the insect canyon to talk with the Queen termite.
"So, do you agree or not?"
{Human, what is your name?}
"Sam."
{Sam, why are you offering this deal to me?}
"It is simple. I need your help in doing somethings, because you along with your children make it easier for me.
But I can't just take advantage of you right? That is why this deal.
We will benefit mutually.
For you guys, growth will stagnate as you grow in level and don't have enough food. But if you move leisurely and eat as you like, you will be a target of many opponents. Even though, you guys are formidable, you cannot take too many opponents.
You have to reach a guy first and bite him. But if you face an opponent who is too strong, you will die.
Why be so farfetched? If the people really knew enough info about you, they might have already taken you down."
Sam's voice carried a hint of provocation.
{Since, you know enough info, you think that you can take me down?}
"It's easy. Do you want to give it a try?"
{Why not? Since you want to make a deal, prove that you deserve it.}
As soon as the queen finished saying these words, Sam could sense a swarm of insects coming out. These are not Zoi termites, rather they are the remaining insects who are under Zoi termite's care.
Sam could see, more than three types of locust species. And even their queens which seemed to be at Level 3 came out.
Sam smirked as he saw the situation.
Suddenly, his black coat was glowing gold. He activated the golden crow feathers using his blood line energy. He didn��t release the aura to pressure the insects, rather he surrounded himself directly with the golden flames.
The Golden glow of the coat and the golden flames emitting from him, gave him a complete ethereal look. He is as bright as golden sun.
The locusts who swarmed against him started burning and dropped as ashes. But there is a bunch of locusts that endured fire, they are immune to fire but not to a major extent.
When they reached the core of the flames, which is Sam they too burned to death,
{Your flame is good. But how long can you last with that spiritual energy.}
"you don't have to bother about that, I have my ways."
As soon as he said that Sam floated a little higher on harbinger. He just moved his feet a little, and small rectangular openings appeared on the sides of the board.
There are even some holes under the board.
"See, how I am going to last long enough."
With these words, a high-pressured red coloured gas was sprayed out of these holes forcefully and Sam threw a small flame into the gas.
The gas immediately caught fire. And the fire is Blue in colour.
Sam started controlling the board as he hovered above the canyon. The blue flames started burning intensely burning the locusts.
Only the queens of the locust swarms were immune to the fire and when they were about to make a move, Sam threw a Golden fire ball at them. Even though, they were able to take one or two hits, they weren't able to withstand this barrage of them.
The Canyon was completely covered with the Blue flames in between Sam stood with his Golden Flames creating a fantasy painting.
