Chapter 1086: Trap
Sam travelled at his top speed and covered a long distance and on the way, he dropped a bunch of surveillance puppets. He found a mountain with a cave and covered the entrance with enough air pockets.
He immediately let the people out and set up the surveillance equipment. He didn't even explain anything to the team as he looked at the group once again.
They are currently in the forest jumping over the trees and within a few minutes he is already at the cave the team was occupying a while ago.
Now the teammates already understood why Sam suddenly moved this fast.
"How did they find out boss? This never happened before."
"If only I could understand that. But the first guy on the screen is responsible for that."
Sam replied in frustration. As they watched they could see the man in the lead walking around the cave and the surroundings in a random manner, it seemed extremely stupid. But Sam is frowning harder and harder as he recalled everything everyone did last night.
After a few more minutes, the man once again ran into the cave and from there he started running back at full speed in one particular direction.
"Fuck it, it is just like I thought."
Sam muttered as he looked at the screen.
"What happened boss?"
"He is tracking our path. I don't know how, but it is either scent or energy traces, he is using either one of them to come for us."
"That is possible?"
"I don't know. But according to what I saw until now, that is the best possible explanation."
"So, what are we going to do."
"For starters, I would really like to know how he did that, so that I can take some measures for the next time. As for what we have to do immediately is that take advantage of the fact that they don't know we know about their tracking and deal some damage.
They would take a while before coming here, so let us take the time to set up something for them. But before that, Night Ghost how sure are you that you can extract the soul and the memories even if the body is turned mush with your cultivation level."
"It is still a bit hard."
Sam nodded and started thinking, but no matter what plan he could think of, it will take some time to throw off four late stage transcendent cultivators and six middle stage transcendent cultivators. That is a really tough team to deal with.
So, they decided to move from this place to a different spot.
Once again everyone was inside the ice divine dimension and Sam immediately took off.
And once again he dropped the surveillance puppets. He is really glad that he made so many and at the same time, he made the ones in the city slowly come towards him so that he wouldn't lose them.
Right after he found the spot, he made some arrangements in the surroundings. He looked through the surveillance and the other party already found the second spot and now they are already moving to the third.
Sam couldn't help but be awe because of this ability. After all, this is a perfect ability for tracking someone and terrifying ability for an assassin to have. They could easily track their targets no matter how hard they try to escape. Of course, there are always exceptions, but Sam still don't know what they are.
He took out a bunch of formation discs and started placing them all over, he still didn't let the teammates out of the dimension and made the preparations as fast as he could.
After he was done, he let them out and explained the plan.
Now, all they had to do is wait for the other party to come.
Sam tried his best to place as much distance between them as possible leaving enough time for him to plan, so the man took his time and the group only reached by evening.
They looked at the hill and climbed up towards the cave hidden deep inside.
When they reached the cave, the tracker is still moving around randomly and all of a sudden, he stopped in his tracks completely.
He looked to the outside of the cave and said.
"There is no traces after this spot."
He said as he stood exactly in the middle of the cave.
"What do you mean there are no traces? Did they disappear into thin air? Maybe with some spatial artifact that could teleport them away?"
One of the group members asked and came inside looking around vigilantly.
"No, there are not any spatial fluctuations here too."
"What kind of sick trick is this than?"
Slowly one after the other the group started coming out of their hiding.
As they looked around, one of them looked upwards and saw an icy blue crystal stuck to the ceiling of the cave.
"What is that?"
He asked as he pointed at it, everyone looked upwards, but at this exact moment, a large metallic object covered with blue lightning suddenly came out of the blue crystal and fell over them.
Everyone reacted swiftly and five of them managed to escape, but the remaining five were struck in the thunder prison.
Night Ghost, Vidyut, Paras came out instantly as they engaged with the guys that are outside.
There are three late stage cultivators and two middle stage ones outside. Exactly half, either by coincidence or pure luck, Sam's team benefitted from this.
By the time the assassin group even realized what they are going through, half of them are stuck in a cage made of metal and lightning while the remaining half are engaging with three people.
Night Ghost sprung into action as he unleashed the cursed ghost to use the new curse he obtained and made it go after one of the late stage cultivators all the while using the small curses just annoy him while dealing with the remaining late stage cultivator as for the middle stage cultivators, even though if it is three vs two giving the other party an advantage in numbers, it didn't look like that at all.
They are dealing with them perfectly.
As people got busy and the fight started slowly damaging the cave walls as the wall was damaged enough on one side a metallic object fell off, Vidyut took a step back from the spot and shot two arrows, one arrow made the object fly off and it appeared near one of the opponents when another arrow hit it.
The lightning energy inside the arrow completely transferred into the cave as it was amplified a bit and hit the opponent on the back.
The opponent felt paralyzed for a few moments as he experienced the full force of the lightning and Paras chopped his head right off in that instant.
While the battle is going on and all the free opponents are occupied and all the caged opponents are on verge of going crazy to get out the cage, the rest of the team slowly came out of the ice divine dimension.
They stood on the one side of the cage so that the cage would be in the middle of them and the battle.
When Sam saw the group crazily attacking the cage, he tapped on the metallic part and said.
"Don't even bother, the person who made this wouldn't make it so that you can get out of here. It would be tarnishing his name."
As he spoke, he placed his palm on the cage and the lightning from one of the walls hit something inside the ground.
The top surface of the ground cracked revealed a formation disc and purple fog started coming out of it.
With another thought another lightning struck and another hole opened with more purple fog.
The people started feeling irritated as the poison seeped into them.
They tried to struggle out and even tried to attack Sam and the group, but the thunder prison obviously didn't let that happen.
Sam started opening formation after another as he made the people inside miserable and soon the battle on the other side is done.
Sam suddenly opened the cage and the people started running out crazily as they inhaled too much of the poison fog, even though the pure venom couldn't do much damage with their cultivations being higher than Sam by a lot, they are still feeling a bit troubled with the corrosive effect inside the lungs and the windpipe.
But as soon as they came, they are met with blows that could easily knock them out.
Sam threw the two late-stage cultivators inside the chessboard along with another middle-stage cultivator while the rest of them were killed and their memories were extracted.
When Sam looked through the memories he was stunned. Some of the late-stage cultivators that were killed were actually some of the direct elites of the Black curtain and they have some detailed information on the rest of their peers that might come at Sam.
As for the information regarding the tracker, he was even more surprised.
