Chapter 1595 Behavioral Change　　"Sam are you sure, you want to deal with this guy with only four us?"


    Philip asked as all four of them are walking in a forest.


    It is very dense and they are walking a certain direction vigntly. It has been a while since they were this vignt.


    They are currently within a n that is part of grey circle.


    Within Grey circle, there are very few territories. Somes areplete wild zones without any signs of civilization or establishments and somes barely have a couple of cities.


    Even those cities are not exactly proper establishments where people aim to reside permanently, they are just there to act as group headquarters of some small organizations and as exchange and trading points for people within the grey circle.


    Now they are searching for one such ce. The only clear coordinates Sam got are for the and there are only three such cities or trade points on this where their first target might appear.


    So, they are currently travelling there.


    As for Philip''s question…


    "I think we are enough. And this will be fun. Just the four of us, like at the start of our journey in Deste."


    "I am really d about all of that, but still don''t you think not using your team is a bit of a shame. I mean, Night Ghost got really stronger. Saber Monarch, Vidyut and Paras are also very close. They will be really useful in such a powerful ce."


    "Nope, let them help with the organization. I think their journey with me might just be done. At least when dealing with the Divine Formation Mountain, they are not going to be involved as much even if they are involved in the first ce."


    "Why?"


    "It is because of their presence beside me that I got toocent about things and I fell in the hands of Sivan.


    Of course, I am not ming them, but I was relying on them too much. Since we were going to desert city at that time and there was supposed to be no one stronger than Night Ghost, I was prettyx with my preparations.


    I didn''t disguise, I didn''t hide my steps, I didn''t even take measures to have some contingencies.


    So, I learned the consequences hard way and I want to stay on the edge for a while."


    "But to this extent? Even the beasts that are roam around in these forests are either same level as you or stronger.


    We are even weaker than you. We could barely be considered anything in these realms and you are bringing us to take down one of the powerhouses in this realm. I don''t think this is an appropriate n."


    "Well, it is toote, you should have thought of that before you decided to dive headfirst into this as soon as I asked.


    You should have asked all of these questions and considered all of these before you just tagged us along in the Dimensional Drifter."


    "I didn''t think this through at that time."


    "Whatever, just tag along and do your part. You won''t be doing much anyway. Treat this as a vacation. Most of the time we are going to hunt some stronger beasts and have some fun.


    As for destroying these targets, we at least don''t need anyone''s help when dealing with this guy. So, don''t worry about it at all."


    "If you say so. But still how far is the city exactly? Do you have any idea?"


    "I don''t know. We need to reach the mountain in that direction first and from there we can find something that leads to the city."


    They walked in the forest a few hours before they reached the mountain. On their way, they acted extremely vigntly. Sam actually used crystal table in his every step to avoid the beasts and some times even people that are roaming around.


    They used all kinds of things to hide their presence from their basic senses including the spiritual sense to move as stealthily as possible.


    It is working and the most important advantage they have is that even if they are identally under someone''s senses, the other party wouldn''t believe it.


    There is no way people like them, particrly the trio would be roaming around in the forests of this this freely.


    Sam carefully avoided every possible confrontation with people and beasts before reaching the mountain sessfully.


    While doing so, he managed to observe what kind of creatures are living in this wilderness, both the flora and fauna and got an understanding of what kind of resources could be avable in the surroundings.


    Resources that could be used for both his short term goals like dealing with the Divine Formation Mountain and the long term goals like growth of his organization.


    He was as thorough as possible and got some important data.


    After visiting the mountain, Sam just directly estimated the coordinates to the top and used the dimensional drifter to transfer all of them.


    From that spot, they looked in all the directions and Sam finally pointed at one spot.


    "See that river stream far away? That leads us to one of the cities. Gail told me that there are three major river streams three continents of this small and every single stream passes by one of the three cities.


    We can just follow it and we will get there."


    "But how do you know to follow this upstream or downstream?"


    "Simple, we camp here for a while and let our water creatures decide where the city is."


    "Water creatures?"


    "Yeah, the creatures you guys unleashed on a bunch of Mari n territories. One of the batches even took up a whole that was used as farming ground by the n.


    I let the subordinates get a few for me.


    If it was a normal time, we could have explored the ce ourselves, but we won''t be able to do that now. We need to make sure that we stay safe only battle tactically when necessary. So, for now let''s rest here and wait for them toe back." Sam replied.


    Sam estimated the location of the river and used the dimensional drifter again. He dropped over two dozen water creatures in the stream. Half of them swam upstream and other half swam downstream.


    The water creatures can disguise themselves very well in the water, so not many people will notice them and even the other water animals that are staying won''t normally attack them. They can pretty much survive on their own when they are in water, so he is not worried.


    Sam felt that it is better to camp within a hollow cavity of the mountain and took them back immediately.


    They waited for a few days before some of the creatures returned. They swam the stream up to the sea and they didn''t see any other establishments and there is not even much of cultivator activity.


    So there is only one other route. The upstream.


    The team came out and started moving along the river path carefully. Of course they didn''t stay too close for that. They just made sure that the stream is within Sam''s crystal table''s range and moved carefully.


    After two days, they are still nowhere near the city. But they came to their first proper halt. Sam saw some traces of a beast and decided to stop there. He checked all of the surroundings and smiled.


    "Boys, we have our first prey ready. We are going hunting."


    "Hunting? What kind of beast is it?"


    "A Boar. But an Astral ne consummate stage boar. Of course it is in its Initiation, so you don''t have to worry too much."


    "Sam, tell me you have gone nuts." Philip directly retorted.


    Sam looked at him with a frown.


    "We are barely at thete stage of transcendent realm. You know how hard it is to fight an Astral ne Consummate stage beast. It will be a fucking nightmare.


    And even you are peak stage of transcendence only."


    "Since when did you be such a weak ass bum? I thought you were the more daring one."


    Sam said with a frown as if he is talking with utmost seriousness.


    Philip looked at him coldly and asked.


    "How dare you say that?"


    "We literally grew together Philip. We have been constantly punching above our level all this while. We always fought people stronger than me.


    Fuck, Watt was kidnapped by a Nascent stage cultivator when we were barely at Great realm stage. Don''t tell me you forgot all of that. Is the power difference more dangerous at that time than now?


    What are you being constantly afraid of? It is almost like you have softened. What happened to you? Why are you being like this?"


    Sam asked with all the seriousness.


    Philip who stood there coldly and was about to retort suddenly stopped.


    Watt and Jack also looked at Philip waiting for him to answer.


    They also noticed this change, but they didn''t want to call it out. In their minds, they are equals, at least the trio, they will be there for each other and try to understand each other, but they cannot put each other down, just because of a hunch.


    But with Sam, it''s different.
