On the hill inside a cave, fifteen people gathered together with the Flavos empire's special commander tied up.

Out of these fifteen, five of them are Nagas, five Yakshas and the other five are human. They all gathered here to discuss what their plan is.

They believed that their squad would handle Sam and deal with him. Even though they don't know if they can kill him, they are sure they could wear him out. That is the plan from the start. The squad members only have this job to do.

They have to grind Sam a bit and escape if he is really as strong as the information they got said. But what they didn't know is that their squad disappeared and they even did Sam a favor by separating into smaller groups all over the hill.

Even though the fifteen of them heard the cries and howls of the beasts, they didn't think they are all dead. Other squads might have been wiped out, but they didn't believe the canine squad is the same. They have the utmost confidence that they can win this and Sam would definitely be worn down.

But what they don't know is, Sam and Raiju are coming inside the hill and are trying to search for the cave they are in.

He doesn't have a way to find out the exact location immediately though. All he could do is use his energy vision and try to search all over the place. Chatur is following him after he concealed himself. He might be nervous, but he didn't dare to stay too far away from Sam.

Because he is afraid that a canine might smell him out of his concealment and if he is alone he would die. If he is with Sam, at least he is guaranteed that he would be safe and have a greater odds to fight back.

At this moment, he is walking with the grenade in his hands.

And he is extremely nervous.

After some time, Sam looked at Raiju and suddenly remembered something. He let the shadow mice out.

Since there is no miasma here, he can just let the shadow mice handle the scouting and searching. He doesn't have to worry about this too much.

After an hour, the results came.

Sam followed the shadow mice and arrived at an area. There are fifteen beasts lined up near the cave and he could see another sixteen energy signatures inside the cave.

He knew he came to the right place. He also noticed there is a formation arranged around the cave.

He doesn't know which formation it is and from the looks of it, it seems like an illusion formation. But he didn't worry. His eye technique might not be the best in the universe and might not be able to see through everything and anything.

But this level of formation is quite easy to overcome.

"Stay here, there is an illusion formation there. You wouldn't be able to survive in that with the beasts around.

The canines have too good of a sense of smell and they would easily catch you within the illusions. Just stay here and wait for my signal.

When I give you a signal, just throw the grenades at these places."

As he said that, he pointed at different spots within the area.

With that, he and Raiju walked towards the cave without any hesitation, and the beasts outside already started growling as they looked at them.

There are two wolves, two bears, three foxes, two hyenas, four hounds, and two Jackals. Although, they have different elements those are the species that are there.

When Raiju and Sam entered the formation they growled and howled making the fifteen members come out.

They looked at Sam and smirked. Because, at this moment, Sam's face is showing an expression of fatigue and he looked ragged.

"You seemed to have met the welcoming parade we arranged for you."

"Of course, I did."

"Then that means, you are now here to serve yourself on a silver platter and your beast looks good. Maybe it will be a good addition to our team."

Raiju seemed to have been infuriated and growled with all its fangs showing out. Sam patted its back as he said.

"Don't say things like that, if he goes out of control you will wish for an easy death."

"Well, we can say the same to you and our statement will be much more valuable. Because, if anyone is dying that would be you."

With that one of them activated the formation and all Sam could see is endless darkness around him.

Apart from Raiju, he couldn't see anything.

Sam looked at him and said.

"Do what you want, just don't go to the areas I pointed out and you are okay. As for the beasts, just let them stay if you don't mind. If you cannot then so be it. But don't suppress them with your aura yet. I want to see what this formation could do."

Sam said and patted him again. He jumped into action after nodding to Sam's words. Sam didn't activate his eye technique immediately to see what this formation is all about. Everything is a learning opportunity and he didn't see a formation like this before.

All of a sudden he felt a sense of threat and ducked forward. He could feel something brushing past his hair and it felt like the claw of a beast.

He raised an eyebrow and once again dodged to the side. He felt another sensation on the feather coat.

He concentrated on his senses and continued dodging. He could see Raiju is holding something in his mouth and smashing another thing with his legs. He didn't seem to be in trouble as blood spilled on his silver fur and for sure he knew that the blood is not his.

Sam understood immediately. The formation is made for the beasts. Particularly these canines that pride themselves in their sense of smell. They are using that sense to attack while all victim's senses are dulled.

As for the cultivators, they still didn't make a move. If Sam's guess is right, then he must not have been in the formation at all. Because from what he could see the formation doesn't have exception making arrangements for someone to enter and leave it without affecting them.

So, they would be standing outside and will only make their move after their beasts couldn't anymore.

Sam didn't care much, because he is not as exhausted as he looked. He just made himself look like that to trick those guys, since he knew for certain that this is a plan.

He played for a while and after checking everything he can about the formation with and without the eye technique, he whistled loudly and Raiju howled loudly along with him.

While the fifteen members out felt like something is wrong, they saw the fifteen beasts inside the formation suddenly prostrate themselves on the ground. They didn't dare to make any further move. At the same time, a series of explosions occurred around the cave.

*BOOM*

*BOOM*

*BOOM*

With the explosions, the formation immediately disappeared and Sam took out his staff as lightning energy surged through him. He didn't go after the beasts, that is Raiju's domain and he went after the cultivators.

When they saw the two of them becoming active and their beasts becoming passive, they immediately called their beasts back, but not for saving them. Instead, they fed some pills to the beasts, even though they are clearly unwilling to do so.

Their eyes turned blood red and their fur stood straight as they looked at Sam and Raiju with lots of bloodlust.

Sam frowned and looked at the cultivators who also took another type of pills and their auras skyrocketed.

He looked at them quickly surrounding him. Sam turned on partial fusion with a lightning element and moved like a silver flash as he slammed his staff in the opponent right in front of him.

Lightning passed through the opponent's body as he collapsed to the ground immediately with a tear on his shoulder along with the flesh being charred black.

He didn't plan to entertain them with too much time and effort as he attacked at full strength. Half of them died within two hits and the rest survived albeit barely. Even though, he is outnumbered he is dominating the fight easily.

He didn't hesitate to kill all of them, but left the leader alone, while Raiju also finished suppressed the beasts. They have missing limbs and deep bites all over along with the lightning char all over their fur.

Raiju got some scars on his body with blood completely coating his fur from silver to red.

He called him back and sent him into the divine dimension, while he examined the beasts, four of them died as they couldn't take the attacks, as for the rest, their bodies are completely rattled inside and the internal organs seemed to have been in deep trouble.

The pill made work on them. He tried his best to give them initial aid and sent them inside the divine dimension while instructing ape to take care of them give medicine and herbs timely to heal them back to normal condition.
