Chapter 722: The intruder Vs Trio
The shadow mice went to the trio and gave the information out. This time also the plan was a bit vague. There is no time, place or the method that was mentioned in their plan.
Just like the previous plan, the envoy did everything silently. There are no important details. There is nothing that could give away any sort of clue regarding the implementation.
The three of them exchanged a glance contemplating whether they should tell Sam or not. There is a good part of them saying to inform him so that he would take necessary precautions. But there is a voice screaming to take a leap of faith in themselves and deal with the incoming threat by themselves.
They don't want to take Sam's help and try to prove themselves.
Since the time Sam mentioned their lone journey, there is a thought eating their hearts away that is telling them that Sam is getting rid of them because they are a burden.
But they knew that Sam is not that someone that would need such a round a bout way to do these things. He would just say things straight to their faces.
Even then, they couldn't think of other reasons for it. Maybe that is because they are subconsciously feeling the same thing in their heads.
Now they all have same thought in their head and that is to prove that they can be really helpful.
After some conflicting thoughts, they decided to take this matter upon themselves and took out the things from the spatial ring that they can use.
Whenever Sam made some useful things and even the research results of the organization comes out and new product is made, they will all be given a piece so that they could try their luck.
From the message, they came to know that the Envoy will be sending someone who is extremely powerful for them. So, there is a huge possibility that a transcendent stage cultivator could be moved.
But if a powerful cultivator like that comes to the town, it would be hard to go unnoticed by the Envoy of the first faction.
So there is a high possibility that the cultivator that would be sent will be an Initial stage transcendent stage cultivator.
If their speculation is true, they can actually make some serious preparations with the gadgets in their hands and it is not like they cannot fight a Transcendent stage cultivator together. Even though the power gap is fight, if an initial stage transcendent stage cultivator really takes full-scale hits from all three of them at the same time, he would surely face some damage.
They are middle-stage Pre-transcendent stage cultivators and they can challenge higher-stage cultivators, so with all the tricks in their hands, they can really try their luck.
They started their plan.
First they gathered everything they have and started scouting the area surrounding their residence. They are currently living in the largest residence of the farmer's street.
There is a front yard, back yard and even some space on the right and left of the house. It is like a medium sized estate with nothing but a single house in it.
They currently have a wide range of poison grenades, methane grenades, and some bee puppets with a lot of potent poisons applied to their stingers and the Zoi termite queen along with the rest of the insect queens which are let out for safety.
Along with that there, they have their hover boards, some tricks that are attached to the hover boards along with some formations that Sam recently made that could help them change the environment in a certain region and also a special formation that is still in testing phase.
This is mostly for training, but it will also help them in a battle.
It is a formation disc with a lots of souls injected in it and these souls will attack the people within the formation. This is mostly made to test the soldiers of the organization so that they could get used to the soul attacks and train their instincts.
The trio happened to be the first batch who are going to try the prototype. They even decided to use this for their victory.
They immediately went to work and didn't waste any time. They made sure that not a single shadow mouse would reach Sam and worked fast enough that Sam wouldn't suddenly come out of the divine dimension.
In fact, Watt even went into the divine dimension to check on Sam and found out that he is too busy in the research, he is doing something with the plant fibers he obtained in this place along with the experiments on that new plywood he made with the bagasse.
He came out and informed his friends about the situation and they are relieved to know that Sam wouldn't be coming out any time soon.
So, they just waited in silence to make sure that they wouldn't miss the attacker that would be coming in.
That night nothing happened and soon the next day also passed. They even decided to stop their business for a day and waited there and only at that night they saw some signs.
The guards in the farmer street were called away and even the people were ordered to stay in their houses.
They could sense that something is really happening and it really did.
They saw a young elf who seemed to be in his thirties walking on the street towards Sam's residence.
The three of them went to their positions and got ready to activate the formations. They are extremely nervous and even started sweating.
A voice is screaming in their heads, that it is not too late to withdraw from this crazy plan. But they really didn't want to back down.
Soon the man came to the entrance of the estate and knocked on the large gate as if he is just visiting. But no one opened it.
"It is rude of you guys to not receive your visitors."
He knocked on the gate once again and this time it broke as he walked in.
At this moment, the trio activated the formations.
The first formation is the gravity formation. This is something that Sam decided to make which would help them in defense. He wants to make it in large scale and make a saleable product. In fact, this is just a prototype version.
But it really did work. Anyone who is sensitive of the energy could feel that the energy is being sucked straight from the soil under them and the transcendent cultivator also felt that. He almost had his knees buckled due to the surprise in the element.
But he adjusted himself and used his own energy to walk forward with some effort.
"You guys are prepared, seems like you already know I am coming."
He is walking to the middle of the yard slowly. Now only did the trio get a chance at clearly observing the person.
Even though at a single glance he was like an elf, in actuality he didn't look like a normal elf. His ears are different and even his body features are a bit different.
But they don't have time to care for these minor details. They decided to make a move and first move was made by Watt.
It is not a direct attack.
He took a pile of metal cards and started throwing them from his hiding spot. The intruder could see the cards coming and even the spot they are coming for, but as he walked forward, the gravity on him is increasing constantly which hindered his moment. As he thought that the card which looked like a streak of metallic light will come for him, it didn't.
From the trajectory, he could guess that it will fall beside him and wouldn't even hit him. But as soon as the card dug itself into the ground, there is an explosion right beside his feet.
Some metal pricks pierced his skin and dug themselves without any reservation. He couldn't help but hiss in pain as he looked at his foot.
He hurriedly took a step back and look at the small pit that appeared.
But another card flew out and landed behind him. Another explosion hit the same foot.
The intruder couldn't stand still and jumped as he looked at the injured foot.
The explosion is not exactly large because the methane is not too much. Most of the explosive effect was achieved by some wind element inscriptions so that there would be enough force for the metal pieces to dig themselves into the flesh of the victim.
Watt slowly increased the speed at which he threw the cards and the intruder is fighting the gravity and the grenades at the same time. At this moment, the bee puppets came out to assist Watt.
Philip and Jack are controlling the puppets as they shot the stingers at the intruders.
The first five to six shots hit accurately due to the element of surprise, but soon the intruder got used to the movement and speed of the bee puppets and he even destroyed a couple of them.
The battle is growing intense.
