Sam just went on with his newly acquired daily routine he looked for the beasts he could battle with and visited the legacy sights of his friends so that he could make sure they are safe.

Apart from that, all he did is note down the points he has been acquiring.

The first week went on like this and he has already gotten around three hundred points which is quite a lot.

He noted down every increment so that he could estimate how many creatures of what level are dead.

The situation is progressing faster than he thought and this is something pleasant even though it is beyond his expectations.

If the situation goes on smoothly, his plan would fall into place and the steps would be finished earlier than he thought which means he can leave this god-forsaken place faster than he originally planned.

Meanwhile, the races of this realm also noticed the differences. There are four main races and the Specters are least involved in the territorial matters as they don't really need many people. They don't reproduce they just form from the dead creatures.

They don't need much place and there is not much development and such in that place.

The remaining three races, the Vampires, Wights, and the Ghouls, care about the situation the territory, and the number of creatures a lot.

At this moment, the Transcendent stage cultivator who escapes from the vine is currently in front of their family head.

They are one of the top three Vampire nobility and they deal with so many affairs and one of them is managing the Forest of Dying. Almost all the dead bodies of the Nascent stage creatures and Pre-transcendent stage creatures' dead bodies from the other realms are dumped into this area.

This place is an extremely valuable resource as these dead bodies have a high chance of turning into undead creatures and even if they didn't, they serve as food for many beasts that could live in the environment.

There are many creatures and even the Bats Sam and his friends cleared are one of such species.

But from the past week, the decrease in the Pre-transcendent stage beasts has reduced.

Within the forest, there are three base camps for the three races. From the Vampire's side, this guy who escaped from the vine acts as the representative and takes care of the matters and the training of their young vampires who have good potential.

Apart from that, he is also responsible for marking the Pre-transcendent stage creatures which are the possible hunting targets, and make a list so that they could monitor the hunting of their youngsters. After all, even though there are many corpses arriving at this place, it is still a resource depending on many external factors so they could only use them carefully.

But this guy noticed the rapid reduction of these creatures. Many beasts and undead creatures are being killed continuously the population is being reduced. They could find several battle traces, but they couldn't find the people responsible for it.

They don't know who is hunting these and what they are doing it for. The only traces they found are some human blood that was spilled during the blood.

One must say that Vampires are truly linked with Blood. As soon as this guy found the traces of blood he noticed that there are multiple people. Being a Vampire helped him identify the blood easily and the nature of the blood which is constantly being affected by their spiritual and elemental energies along with the traces of the battle gave him information on their elemental usage.

He is currently reporting these things to the head of their family. Apart from that, he also reported the increase in the vines that are appearing in different places, the spread is too much and too fast.

He did so all while holding his chest as if he is afraid of something.

The head felt like the situation is a bit more troublesome than he expected it to be.

"Go back and meet with the supervisors of the other races. See if areas under their influence also showed any of such signs and if they did, discuss the issue with them and find a solution."

The head said with a solemn gaze.

"Is there any possibility that there is a human settlement without us knowing? For now I could only think of something. This is an easy way for them to deal with us. By eliminating our resources when many of our elites are dead at the same time."

"Even though it is too far-fetched, it might be true, just keep this possibility in your mind when you investigate this."

The very day this guy left their palace and went to the Forest of dying to meet with the representatives of the other two races.

He explained everything that has happened and asked.

"Have you seen any traces of these happenings in your areas?"

The Ghoul and the Wight exchanged glances and the Wight said.

"We noticed the traces of human battles with the creatures, the population of creatures indeed decreased, we are also looking into it, but I didn't know anything about these vines, I have to check once again.

How dangerous are they?"

"They caught ten Pre-transcendent stage cultivators all at the same time in the same place and killed every one of them. I barely managed to escape." *Cough* *Cough*

The Vampire spoke as he coughed, the two of them frowned. The Vampires don't actually need air to survive, they have different biology and everything they need would be obtained by blood, even their reproduction a bit different.

The only reason they inhale air is so that they can speak. The vocal cords of the vampires only activate in the presence of the inhaled air.

That is the only reason they have to breathe in the air, so it is really unfathomable for someone to see a vampire cough.

The coughing didn't stop though, the Vampire bent his body as he coughed violently. He couldn't even stand straight.

The Wight and the Ghoul neared him as they tried their best to make him stable.

"What happened? Just show us where the problem is?" The Wight asked nervously. It is not a good thing for a Vampire to die in the presence of the Ghoul and the Wight. Even though they might be able to convince others about their innocence it will still make the situation tense between the races.

A transcendent stage cultivator is an important asset.

As they tried to make the situation better what they don't know is that they are actually making the situation worse.

The Vampire is actually trying his best to resist something that is trying to come out of his chest.

But when they interfered with their energy it actually undermined his resistance that something just came out of it.

Before he could think of saying something, a vine came out of the chest and started growing rapidly while consuming everything in his body. The growth is so rapid that it turned larger than any vine that was inside the Undead realm.

Since the Wight and the Ghoul are there, the vine just spread through towards them and started consuming their energy and flesh.

The process was so fast and the flowers are constantly blooming the wines, spreading the pollen and wilting, and due to the excess death energy that was being leaked out of these three people, some pollen is even sprouting immediately as it fell near.

"AAAGGGGH" "HELP"

They started yelling for help and the call for people nearby. But every person around them is only a Pre-transcendent and they learned that they made a mistake calling them the minute they entered the room.

As soon as the Vampires, the Ghouls, and the Wights entered the room, they are already pulled by the vines and became the victim for its suction.

There is no way they could escape.

The vines even spread out of the wooden shack breaking through the walls.

The person that caused all this is just looking at his wrist screen as he noticed the rapid increase of the number, he could guess from the score which is in hundreds three times in a row, that the transcendent stage cultivators have fallen victims for his vine.

Now only he understood how much faster the plan is unfolding. He didn't expect that he would be seeing this big of the numbers just after a week after he came here.

When Arkiv who is near him looked at the number, couldn't help but shake his head in envy.

"Just what did you do? You don't even make a move and you still get points. It is unfair."

"Nothing is fair in this world, the faster you figure that out and admit it, the more you would feel relieved, and the more you would be able to solve your problems in a better way.

As for the score, you haven't seen anything yet, just see it after one month and you will know what the real score is and if I were you, I would just leave after recovering. The situation would become nasty."
