The battle went on and on, but Sam only used earth element and smashed the attack as if he was a brute.

The leader didn"t feel happy about it though, because it would be crazy and extremely idiotic of him to expect a person who could go past his realm of cultivation and burn a transcendent person alive just by acting like a brute.

It would be extremely stupid of him if he really did think so.

He started thinking and observing the surroundings. Soon, he did realize one thing. The team is struggling a bit. They had to make more effort to move and also more effort to create the protrusions or the rocks that are flying towards Sam.

There is a faint resistance that they are unable to notice in the heat of the battle. In fact, he felt that he wouldn"t be able to notice it if he is the middle of the battle.

After observing the situation, he looked at his own feet and body and tried to walk a bit without using any spiritual energy and it confirmed his guess.

There is indeed a significant resistance but it seems to have gradually grown which made it seem insignificant.

He looked at Sam in shock.

Sam looked back at him and couldn"t help but feel a bit surprised himself. The opponent realized his trick faster than he thought.

He felt like he would be able to trick them a bit more.

Since it is not going to happen, Sam decided to make a move. Before the team leader could issue any commands, Sam"s energy riled up and the gravity in the whole cave skyrocketed immediately.

Everyone"s knees buckled due to the sudden force of attraction that is pulling them down.

Sam took advantage of the situation and made his move. He lunged at the two nearest targets and impaled the claws into their throats and started injecting the blood essences.

There are two main reasons for using the blood essences. One of them is that he wanted to inflict the pain that couldn"t be alleviated normally by any medicine of normal treatment. A pain that makes them feel helpless.

The second reason is to see what kind of reactions a body would have when it was forcefully injected by the blood essences.

The Intake of blood essences is actually a common thing. Many people do that, but the blood essence had to go through a series of refinements that would make it possible for a cultivator to digest them easily.

There are some cultivators that can take the blood essence in its raw form. For example, the beast cultivators, the beast-men, and cultivators of extremely superior bloodline can dominate any form of a beast bloodline that was injected into their body.

Even though elves are portrayed as the most superior race in modern earth"s myths, they are not that great actually. They are right above the Yakshas, who are slightly superior to Nagas and the humans.

The blood essences are causing the required effect.

Sam injected into their throats and they couldn"t do anything about it.

They held their throats due to the pain that was caused by the claws, but they don"t know that the worst is yet to come.

Both of them are earth element users and they are humans. They don"t have a second element, so Sam injected fire and ice once again.

The body started reacting to the blood essence and the clash began. His skin color is shifting from red and icy blue.

Sam didn"t stop there, he has to take advantage and finish as many people as possible in one sweep.

He went on and injected two more people. By this time, the rest of the team forcefully overcame the gravity and tried to make a move on Sam.

But as soon as they stood up, Sam made the gravity revert to normal, but due to the excess force they used when running, they flew into the air and slammed into cave walls.

Three people directly came flying towards Sam.

Out of which he dealt with two and injected the blood essences, all the while keeping the third man under him.

The third person is the fire elemental user.

So, Sam used different elements this time. The Ice and lightning elements.

Lightning doesn"t have much conflict with the fire element, but it also doesn"t have a propagating effect on the fire element.

He injected the ice element to make it conflict with the fire element and he used the lightning element which is extremely tyrannical and damaging to wreak havoc while the two are clashing.

The leader who was in a daze for a second was surprised to see the sudden development.

He immediately reacted and ran towards Sam. But before he could do anything, Sam already jumped away from the spot and reached the nearest centaur.

He didn"t attack the centaur directly. He held the forelegs of the centaur and his body moved like a snake as he made his way to the back of the centaur all the while dangling from his body.

He is like a slippery loach that made the centaur feel frustrated and angry as he couldn"t reach Sam who is stuck on his back and the rest of the body.

Sam started carving the body up with the claws and made him bleed crazily. Centaurs have better bodies than humans and if not for the high regenerative ability of the elves, then they would have better bodies than the elves. Their endurance is too high since the team is extremely stuck together and fighting in unison, Sam decided to slowly chip their strength away.

After making the centaur bleed from significant cuts, the creature realized that he couldn"t move his body and there is something wrong with his bloodstream.

This is the work of Sam"s poison. Now Sam took advantage of the situation and injected two blood essences and jumped away.

Everything happened in a flash. The whole process didn"t even take six seconds in which three seconds are just for injecting process.

Sam didn"t stop and moved to the next step. The leader is feeling the most helpless. After he joined the battle, he couldn"t get a hold of Sam. Even though the place is small, Sam is using it to his advantage. Every time he moved, he is making another member of the team be under the attacking range and even using them as meat shields.

And at every candidate, all it is taking is a couple of slashes from the claws and a three-second injection to make them useless.

Within a few minutes, Sam is done with half of the team. This is not even a battle. Sam is not even contending. He is like a monkey playing with a bunch of small animals by stealing their food. They couldn"t catch him and every time they had a chance they escaped.

The leader gritted his teeth and slammed his first into the ground with a lump of energy.

Cracks appeared all over the ground and started spreading to the walls.

The whole team halted in their tracks and didn"t dare move. They are moving away from the cracks that are spreading on the wall.

Sam also halted in his tracks and looked at the cracks. He activated his energy vision. There is nothing he could see.

All of a sudden from the cracks of the wall Sam noticed a pattern.

There are two places the cracks are concentrated and it is clear that they are breaking a layer of the rocky surface.

As he observed and tried to use his eye techniques to see what is happening, he finally saw something, but it was too late.

Two large snakes one from each side jumped out and coiled around Sam.

Sam was stunned for a second as he saw large snakes that are two times as large as python and coiling around him.

One snake is coiling his legs, while the second is coiling around his upper body. He is too small to be in between them. He is not even visible after a few seconds and even his face was covered.

Sam is extremely surprised. He didn"t expect that there would be a creature that could escape his energy vision.

That too, both of them are beasts. But after coming out of the initial shock, he started comparing the image of the snakes to the knowledge in his mind and soon found a match.

The Stone Pythons.

These creatures have a weird ability. To merge with any stone surface and be one with it. In that state, they are extremely dormant and wouldn"t show a single energy fluctuation. But that doesn"t mean there is no fluctuation at all. It is just that the fluctuation is too small and Sam"s technique is not mature enough to capture it.

But that is not his current problem. His major problem is now escaping the grip of these stone snakes before they turn him into a meat paste.
