For the next three months, Sam was in Naga Loka as he tried to find every single grass or herb that supports the decay of flesh and bones.
Since the Naga Loka is the home of many toxins he figured he could find what he wants here.
After using Buck and all his networks along with Yodha's help to get his hands as many things as he can.
His own poison along with Mia's wouldn't be of sufficient quantity and he wants them in the form of herbs.
After finding enough, he once again came back to his home planet and this time, he came with some Nagas along with him. He enrolled them in the school. But unlike Chatur who stayed in his human form most of the time, these people assumed their Naga form.
These Nagas are bastard orphans of many people who don't know who their parents are. So, they don't have that unreasonable superiority complex of the normal Nagas as their lives are bitter than humans who can at least sell their bodies.
So, Sam came here with them as a part of an exchange program with Nagas.
He will send the humans from his organization later after the new adaptation technology is successful in all the attempts.
But there is one problem. That vixen Vasuki also tagged along. Sam doesn't want to bring her, but she pulled all kinds of strings and even made the Emperor request Sam so that she would be acting an envoy.
He told them that he would be taking them to his personal place, not to his backer's place as they might be interested in Sam's backer than him.
But to his surprise, she was even more ecstatic.
On the way, he also heard a one more interesting thing, Vasuki who is known for her horny nature, wasn't as horny as before, at least she is not using any of her boy toys and she seemed to be smitten by Sam.
Sam couldn't only shake his head in frustration and thought of dumping her in his city and let her do what she likes.
He wouldn't be staying there for long anyway.
After coming back from Naga Loka, Sam once again started his work. Even though, he got the results he wanted from his genetic experimentations, the process before implementing these results to his advantage is extremely long and complex.
He started adding the poisonous herbs he got from Naga Loka into the process and make the required modifications for the new vines he created.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThis process took the remaining three months and there are only a few days left before the Palace of inheritance.
The location of the Palace of inheritance is also finally revealed and Arman came running to him to show the coordinates.
Sam took the coordinates in his hands and called for his friends to finish their final preparations before leaving.
He also went to make his final preparations and that included making a new bow.
He got information that the next Palace of inheritance is Hou Yi. The God of Archery. His player is Arkiv. Even though he doesn't have anything against Arkiv, this Hou Yi really pissed him off by plotting against him or at least assisting in Indra's plot. This is unacceptable.
So, he decided to get back at him a little as a little lesson so that he would stay the hell away from Sam.
For that, he decided to go with a bow of his own. He would challenge the whole thing with his archery. He would snatch the treasures he prepared for his player right under his nose using the same skill he is best at.
So, for the next three days before the journey which is also the thirty days in the tower, Sam just stayed in and created a special bow.
This bow is also mainly dependent on the inscriptions and formations. He also made the bow with various meteorite sands.
After finishing the bow, he finally met with his friends on top of his building for the departure.
Arman also joined them.
Sam opened the dimensional drifter and entered the coordinates to their destination.
They disappeared from the spot and when they reappeared they couldn't help but feel a bit suffocated with all the death energy around. Sam put his dimensional drifter away and their group of six stood there to look around
In a distance, Sam spotted Arkiv who also came. But he doesn't have any companions.
He came running towards Sam and asked.
"Lucky you, Sam. You can bring your own companions, I should have visited you before leaving. But I was busy."
"You think you can afford the payments if I bring them for you? It is extremely expensive."
Sam replied casually.
"Well, this rule is kind of suspicious, it is almost like it was set to give you an advantage. None of the people can bring companions other than you."
He asked a bit probingly. Sam just smiled and replied.
"There is a lot of it going on. But first, don't stay near me, if you want to have at least a moment of peace in this realm. People here don't have a good relationship with me."
With that, Sam and his group started walking away.
He finally got a chance to peacefully observe the surroundings.
The forest they are in is full of dead trees and bones everywhere. The soil is Black and grey everywhere and there is a faint rotten stench coming over.
There are many beast skeletons in this area. But most of the skeletons are also rotten.
They couldn't help but feel nauseous.
There is a mountain far away. Sam and Arman felt their badges that grant the entry to the Palace react to it.
So, they started moving in that direction. This time, Sam couldn't use his beasts once again. He also didn't dare try this adaptation method he used for his friends.
The beasts tend to have mutations if they are kept in different environments as a way of adapting to that place. If that happens, their bloodlines will be polluted.
Anyway, he wouldn't be staying too long in this realm. It is only three months.
As they started their journey, they soon started encountering the troubles of this place.
This place looked like a graveyard and there are a lot of skeletons and in the middle of all these skeletons, some are still moving.
They are some fresh corpses and some semi-rotten corpses in there moving and trying to find any living creature to feast on their vitality.
There are even some stray spirits that reached semi corporal state as they roamed and attacked their group.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTheir group is attracting the major part of the creatures present in this area as they are walking a group and they are considered a big meal compared to the individual players.
They traveled till evening and the place that is already grey and gloomy turned darker. They finally reached the mountain and he could see some of the players he was familiar with.
They are more exhausted than his friends and him. They are clearly being affected by the death energy.
Their cultivation techniques are far too superior to his friends. But the amount of money he invested in the research and the project of adaptation is not there just for show.
Apart from slight Nausea, Sam and his friends are not much different from the normal times, but these people are clearly more exhausted than normal.
They looked at each other before looking around the mountain to find the cave and soon someone found the cave a bit over the mountain and they all walked into it.
Out of all of them, only Sam has companions with him. The rest of them didn't have the means to bring their companions with them and even if they could get them, there is no way they could trust many people enough to bring them to the Palace of inheritance. That is almost impossible.
So, they didn't bother, to think much. But they are surprised by Sam bringing so many of his friends.
They kind of know about the trio of Philip, Watt, and Jack. Chatur is a new one in the group.
Currently, Sam is using his quota to bring the trio in while Arman is responsible for bringing Chatur in with his quota.
They entered into the familiar hall where another Avatar stood at the podium.
He looked at them and spoke.
"This time due to special circumstances the Palace of inheritance is a bit different. We are not letting the local prodigies in.
And along with that, the mini-game will start as soon as the Palace of inheritance ends.
This time the candidates have a special offer to leave this undead realm as it is not so safe here. So, the Palace will bestow three trinkets that could protect you three times.
If you use up all those three trinkets, your dimensional crosser will unlock and let you return to the last realm you are in.
So, the people who came from the Naga Loka will return to Naga Loka and the people who came from the Desolate realm will go back to the desolate realm.
I hope you are ready as this Palace of inheritance is a bit more straightforward. All the best."
