Chapter 2401: Meeting
Sam didn't halt or reduce his speed. He went just as fast even though he sensed the incoming threat.
The only change he did was to extend his hand and turn the wind sharper.
*SLASH*
Sam cut through the incoming object and went past it. The object which turned out to be a living creature split into two. Brown colored sludge fell all over the place and wherever it fell, the vegetation in that place, hungrily absorbed it.
Sam came to a stop and looked at the creature.
It is an ape. But it didn't look like any other ape Sam has seen. There are several patches on the ape's body covered with rocks and stones. They seemed like they protruded out of the ape's body. Sam guessed what this is.
A lackey of land abomination.
And judging from the lack of presence of any other lackeys around, it is a free-lackey.
At least that is what it is based on the description given by Triala.
Before Sam started his journey, even though he didn't get the full information about lackeys and abominations from Triala, she gave her a gist.
Basically, for every abomination there are two types of lackeys. One is a community-lackey or a group-lackey.
They are created to be a squad and they are often found only in groups. Similar to the group of water-abomination lackeys Sam encountered in the sea.
More often than not, these lackeys are created from a single type of creature. A group of humans, a group of wolves, a group of sharks, etc.
These group lackeys have leaders and commanders of sort. However, even Triala said she doesn't know how the abominations create these commanders.
As for free-lackeys, these are a bit special. They are still infected by the genes and they are still prone to listen to the commands of the abominations. However, they are often very special and couldn't be controlled or be assigned to group-lackeys.
For example, the Sharks Sam encountered first are easier to control so even though they are group lackeys they are combined with water-lackeys made of humans.
But there are some, particularly like this ape, that are just left alone. They just roam around on their own and target anyone that doesn't have the genes of the abominations.
Sam collected the body of the ape and continued his journey. Most of the creatures are still easy for him to deal with. Similar encounters happened throughout the rest of the journey to Triala's settlement.
While Sam is busy travelling, Naila is busy building, Triala is busy waiting, the four settlement leaders are also busy having a meeting of their own.
"Where is Triala, why hasn't she joined yet?" Ronx asked impatiently. Brin, Neo and Mac didn't reply to him.
They just shut their mouths and waited.
Ronx grew increasingly impatient with every passing second and yelled.
"FUCK IT.
It has been an hour, since the predetermined meeting time. Why is that bitch not showing up?"
Ronx yelled and cut the communication off.
After a couple of minutes, the communication set up in Triala's settlement started giving an alert. Triala can see who is trying to contact her. Seeing Ronx's identifier, she didn't want to talk to him and just cut it off.
But that guy is persistent like a toxic ex-boyfriend.
She had to finally pick it up.
"Neo, keep an eye on Triala's activity. If what Ronx said is true, then she might show some progress in the surroundings. If it really works out well for her, maybe we can think for
ourselves."
Neo agreed and they dropped off as well.
Time passed.
Soon, Sam managed to arrive the settlement. When he was approaching the city wall, several
people flew over and aimed their weapons at him.
"Halt. Identify yourself. Who are you?" The other party is extremely vigilant and Sam could guess why. His body is covered in that brown sludge. Which seemed to be the blood of land abominations. And along with that, there is a large mass floating behind him.
It is a wolf type beast. But there are several stones and leaves protruding out of various parts of its body. And its fur had a faint golden patterns here and there.
This wolf is still breathing, but it is coiled into a ball bound by Sam's energy as he carried it
over.
He tried to forcefully throw it into his divine dimension, but he couldn't. Unlike the earth worm, this wolf had a very strong mental resistance.
And he wanted to keep it alive. So, he just brought it with him.
"Call Triala. She said she will be waiting for me here."
Sam spoke directly. As for weapons.... He didn't care at all. What a joke. These are all in Initial
stage of Initiation. If the word spreads in academy realm that a bunch of first grade level cultivators tried to attack Sam, they would be branded as fools.
"Identify yourself first."
The guards didn't backdown.
Sam sighed and yelled out loud.
"TRIALA"
His voice amplified with spiritual energy, immediately shook the city and the surrounding
forests. Hurriedly, several people shot out of the city and came to entrance and at the center
of them all, stood Triala.
"I told you to wait at the entrance by midnight."
Sam said while panting. He dropped the wolf on the ground and landed beside it.
With a wave of his hand, a wave of water conjured up and covered him completely, removing
all the dirt and grime. Then the temperature rose, evaporating the rest of the water on his skin. He is as good as new, at least for appearances.
But he expended a shit ton of energy and he took out a liquid capsule as well as some wine to
immediately replenish himself.
"Can we talk?"
