Chapter 633: Surprise
Sam looked at the beasts and couldn't help but smile a bit. He felt like these beasts are also here due to some kind of ban from the upper realms or this Planet might actually be a part of the upper-realms. But he didn't think too much.
He was just fascinated by the prospects of meeting these beasts. Firebird is an equivalent bird to this when compared in terms of bloodline and might. But that firebird blood essence is being distributed as a monthly resource. And no one knows if it will come again.
But on this planet, they can harvest an equivalent resource whenever they can. Comparisons are hideous.
Sam looked at Praneeth and asked.
"Did anyone succeed?"
"Of course, there are five people who succeeded and those five people are the kings of our nation. Out of five, four of them are former kings and they disappeared. Either dead or gone to travel to a higher place. The last one is the current king. Even though he broke through beyond the Consummate realm, he couldn't make his beast accomplish the same.
The next generation, the prince is now trying his best to claim one of these beasts, but he wasn't able to even after four tries. The talk of town though, is that he didn't like these beasts.
But look at them. Those fascinating creatures. How good having a companion like that would be? That prince, talk about covering up."
"So, all you need is for me to tame one of them. Is that it?"
"Yes."
"But before that, tell me this. Do you want them as a companion or as a pet or as a mount?"
"Is there a difference?"
"There is plenty of difference."
After thinking deeply, he looked at the beasts and said with a smile.
"Of course, they have to be my companions, what would I need a pet for? To playing? As for mount? If it is only a mount, it wouldn't be the same. I think the companion is the best way to have a beast. At least, that is what I felt when I see your wolf."
Sam nodded for a bit and said.
"Come with me, then."
When others are about to follow, he immediately rejected it.
"Only two of us."
With that, both of them slowly started climbing. The thunderbirds saw them climbing, but they didn't seem to care at all as they went on with their own business.
There are many nests of the beasts and the whole mountain is full of caves.
Even though they saw many beasts on the way, they didn't stop. Sam just led them upward and only stopped at a few caves but eventually didn't step into the cave.
"How powerful is your family?"
Sam asked as they moved.
"Why?"
"Does the royal family has enough strength to attack you on a whim?"
"Of course not. If we really fought, no one knows who the real winner will be."
"So, they would wage war for trivial matters right?"
"No."
After reaching the cave that Sam wanted, he finally entered it. There are two thunderbirds in the cave and they are both Level-5 equivalent to the Grand realm stage of the humans.
They could be considered the young adults of the Thunder Birds.
Sam led Praneeth into the cave and after two hours, both of them came out. Praneeth's face is full of disbelief as he couldn't believe what exactly happened.
But after another three hours, he was even more shocked.
They came down and with the same daze, Praneeth handed over the mushroom.
"Remember what I told you. Take care of them for now. We will talk the remaining business deals in a few days within the divine dimension."
Praneeth finally came back to his senses and he hurriedly said.
"What do you mean, few days? You are coming with me now. You are not going anywhere until I treat you to my hospitality. Trust me. All this while you only saw the ugly side of the planet. I will show what the real planet is."
He didn't even give them a chance and dragged them off. Sam also didn't care much. After all, he was forced to stay for six months in the Naga Loka and has to take care of the Union dimension. He beat the Union sect so bad that they have no choice but to hide and even now they are coming out bit by bit.
Now that the Elite ten and the Players are also here, it wouldn't hurt for him to take a step back and let them fight it over.
They could wear each other down. Anyway, the players didn't make any progress from the timer that was imprinted on their left hands, the rest of the players could even see the number of herbs Sam collected. He already collected three of them and he even did them in an easy and boring way. He is not having much resistance at all.
He decided to let them have time to catch up and at the same time, have them exhausted after they fought with the elite ten and he would have an even more unfair advantage.
He would let this go. And with all these travels there are some new thoughts entering his head and he can use this time to think those thoroughly.
He decided to take this chance.
So, for the next three days, he was in the territory of Praneeth's family.
Sam must say, that he really didn't see the beauty of this land earlier.
The way the people built the buildings in this place is quite different. They are unique and even the artisan ways are completely different.
The normal residences are basically built by manipulating the soil which is basically a crude mixture of powdered metals.
But now they molded into beautiful igloos of metal. They are a bit shiny and that unique metallic glaze and the flash of the lightning that occasionally occurred gave them a unique beauty.
Apart from that, there are several houses made with the shapes of the houses from the Merman Planet, the Nagin Planet, and even fysi Planet.
They seemed to have picked the beauty from many places and mixed it with this unique metallic touch.
He really liked this place.
The most beautiful thing is the palaces.
They are a bit more skillfully made with properly melting and joining the metal.
He couldn't get enough of it.
The only problem for him is the food. Most of the beasts that have pure lightning elements are extremely rare, so most of the meat available has both metal and lightning elements.
But if Sam consumed this, he would have trouble it would be hard to expel the metal element. So, he has to take out the meat and wine for the meal.
Except for that, everything went smoothly.
But Sam did get his hands on the local delicacies so that Philip could try. It is a rare chance of after all.
In these two days, Sam also got a bit of understanding of this planet and its resources. He examined all he can and bought all of those that could be used on his home planet. After this buying spree, he felt like he would be running out of funds soon.
He really did get a large amount of money when he came, and he also knew with his consumption, the funds would be in deficit. That is why he created a cooperation plan in the Naga Loka and he is pretty sure the income would be great.
It is to replenish some of the funds. He didn't take the dividends from the business and it is about time he took them so that he can spend in the last two planets.
After roaming all over the place, Praneeth finally decided to return with them and they started on their journey.
But as soon as they left their territory and are on the way to the Portal, there was a sudden attack on Sam.
When Sam saw the attackers, he was actually surprised. There are three familiar faces in front of him.
They are Arkiv, Akhil and the last one is the lightning spear sect's player Dyaus.
Akhil and Dyaus ambushed them with Arkiv shooting their arrows at them.
"If you guys are here to stop the transaction, then you shouldn't waste your time. I already got the mushroom. This makes it three out of six."
"Who said we are here to stop the transaction? We are here to create some advantage for us."
Akhil replied and all three of them targeted their attacks at him.
When Praneeth was about to react, Sam gestured to him to stop as he dodged the attacks.
He looked at the three attackers in a taunting gaze.
Sam doesn't know why there are here, there are many speculations regarding this. But he can understand why they are the ones here, out of three, two of them are warriors and the other one is the lightning user. In this environment, they are the ones who have an advantage over Sam in proper combat.
After all, if Sam has to fight multiple players, he would have to use the advantage in his elements and combos to attack them, but now he is mostly permitted to lightning element and the normal neutral energy. He would have a pretty hard time if he fights.
