Sam really did find a way to deal with these habitats, in fact, there are two for two possible cases.

One of them is considering every beast in the whole habitat as an individual threat or danger, then there would be having a treasure individually which will lead him to kill every single beast.

But when he thought of this whole thing another way, he felt that there is another possibility.

What if the whole habitat is considered as a single threat? Then there would be no need for him to necessarily kill the whole habitat. He has many other ways; he can even just steal the treasure if it was just guarded.

So, the first issue they have to deal with is, whether the habitat is considered as a threat or each individual beast is a threat.

The next day, he went to the nearest habitat, the Jade horned Rhinos.

He was very careful as he went to that place, if he was discovered, he would have to use extreme measures and the treasure may as well lost.

So, he started spying on the habitat for a whole day to find their routines and find any places that they are using as a special spot or any place that has most danger within the whole habitat.

But on that day, he didn't find any place and it took him more than three days to find the spot.

There is a place like a cave within their habitat where no beast goes. When the small baby rhinos run around and try to enter that place, the parents reacted very harshly and hardly.

The Rhinos which passed that place, look at that place with reverence and respect.

Sam guessed that place might be the one and he was thinking about how to go there without alerting the Rhinos. After all, it is always better if he refrains from killing so much.

After thinking long and hard, he decided in a most direct way. Create a distraction.

But that distraction has to be good enough to have caused more than a hundred rhinos to not concentrate on that place.

So, all he did was simply blast a sizeable energy cell in the air above the habitat. The huge explosion and the massive fluctuations of spiritual energy, the rhinos did get distracted, but the weird thing is an exactly opposite thing happened. Instead of going away from that cave, all the rhinos instead huddled together towards the cave as if they are trying to feel safe.

It is as if the thing in the cave is the one that is protecting them. This is making things difficult for him.

But he did have another plan.

He went back to the tower and started dealing with some herbs, creating a liquid, and the next day, he came with all the group members.

All five of them occupied a certain place within the vicinity of the whole habitat and on a cue threw a grenade.

But the grenade is not the methane grenade, instead, a blue-colored gas comes out of it, and soon enough, all the rhinos are a mess, they are becoming drowsy and started slumping. They became lazy slobs all of a sudden.

Sam moved on the harbinger and flew into the cave.

The first feeling he got was a surprise, he couldn't even see an ounce of blue gas in the cave, it was completely blocked at the entrance.

In the middle of the cave, there is a formation disc along with a scroll. He didn't check them right there and left the place first. Because the gas he used is not high level enough to deal with the beasts for a long time.

So, before the effect wore off, he has to leave the place and he did.

They went back to the tower to check on the formation disc.

While he was doing that, the rhinos have recovered and they are now in a frenzy. The king of the tribe the rhino which is a peak Level-5 beast went to the cave and as soon as it saw that the empty place where the formation disc was supposed to be, it started roaring in fury.

The rhinos started ravaging the whole territory around them. Of course, they didn't leave their own vicinities and enter the areas under other habitats.

Sam opened the scroll first and it depicted a lot of images drawn on it indicating the usage of the formation disc.

This formation disc immediately impressed Sam.

It is called the seven-stage divine rhino formation.

As the name implied, the formation has seven working stages. When it is activated, the first stage is will form a single Rhino spirit and attack the enemies who are within the formation range. It is an attack-type and the defense type formation.

For the second stage, two rhinos, and for the third one three rhinos.

In the final stage, the whole formation can defend and deal with a Transcendent level cultivator at a late stage.

This formation is a piece of art in Sam's eyes and how did the spirits enter the formation. There are two ways and one of them is natural spirit generation.

For example, just like how the weapons made of meteorite sand forms a spirit over time and the spirit that formed will depend on the atmospheric factors or the materials that are used to make them.

There is a high chance that a Black feather coat can generate a spirit that has high similarities to the golden crow as it was made of golden crow feathers.

The other way for the formations to possess spirits is by adding the spirits that are forcefully extracted from the beasts or any other human. It is a very high-level skill and very hard to master and even after mastered the success rate is very low.

The thing that impressed Sam, even more, is that the integration of multiple beasts in a single disc.

There is a high chance of failure due to the fact that the seven spirits try to devour each other and try to be the only one occupying the disc.

Taming and restricting them is one of the most difficult things in the formation makes.

With this Sam is looking forward to the remaining five habitats and the traps.

On the fifteenth day, he was done with the first habitat, and that night, another inheritance appeared. This time, it is even more niche than the previous one. The dark element. Only people from Northern Arian have them in their ranks.

The fifth inheritance was only attended by two people.

Sam went on concentrating on dealing with the habitats and they always used the same tactic. Scouting for a day or two finding the proper location and throwing the sedative gas, stealing the treasures.

In this way, dealing with the habitats which should have been the toughest tasks of all, has become the easiest of them all.

In the next ten days, it was over.

And two more inheritances appeared. This time, it is an inheritance of swordsmanship and another on of fist techniques.

Philip entered the one with the fist techniques and jack entered the swordsmanship.

With these seven appeared and there are only five to come and only twenty-five days are over.

Now, Sam has to deal with the traps in this territory and start focusing on the remaining territories.

In the middle of this, his cultivation has raised to the Level-6 Great realm. Yanwu is continuously devouring the fire in the tower, while he is working.

The twenty-sixth day, he made his move.

The first trap is the one which is closest to him, the algae.

Sam took out ten long energy cells of fire elemental energy and stood them in the sea bed in the shallow waters outside the influence of the algae.

After placing the tenth one which completely surrounded the whole algae territory, a formation was activated and water started heating up.

As the algae are quite aversive to the heat, they will become passive and protect themselves within the rocks with the rise of temperature, which is the best opportunity for Sam.

But there are very few ways to heat up the whole place and maintain a certain temperature so he created a fire elemental formation inside the water. Sam dove into it and swam inside to see a small cave. He barely fit in it and inside he saw a weapon.

He had received quite a few of them actually. After the divine rhino formation, he has expected something similar, but most of them are weapons, only one formation appeared after that and it is not as impressive as the rhino formation.

Now after seeing another weapon which is a water attributed spear, he was a bit disappointed.

But that's about it, he can still see it or gift it to the future subordinates of his. He doesn't like using the weapons made by others, the weapons he made for himself are always the best.

He came back and collected some algae before storing inside the dimension.

After dealing with four more traps only two remained. The swamp swallower and the banyan expanse.

These two traps, even if they don't have treasures inside them, they are akin to treasure troves.

Sam's first stop is the swamp swallower. He hovered over it and took out a metallic pipe. He infused the metallic pipe with the vitality of the light element and poked it down, immediately the swamp started dragging the pipe down, but at this exact moment, Sam took out the cylinder used for defeating the Oscar and connected the flame outlet to the open end of the pipe.

The gas started blowing first without any flame. The swamp didn't seem to notice it and just kept on dragging the metallic pipe in.

Sam held the pipe and offered resistance as moderately delaying the swallowing, the has was filling the cavity under the swamp. Only when Sam noticed a small fissure appear on the surface to release the gas, did he leave it alone and started a fire.

The swamp stopped swallowing the whole metal pipe and started shrieking.

Sam infused the spiritual energy into the feather coat and the coat turned golden color defending again the flame.

As his teammates watched, Sam held the flame outlet without moving as he constantly absorbed the flames at the same time.
