Sam made both of them sit down as he prepared something.
He first took out a glass vial with a potion and then he took out a small neutral liquid energy cell. He tinkered with it a bit and the lid came off. He poured half of it into the potion vial and then closed the lid on it.
Then he started shaking it. The ordinary potion that looked like some normal red liquid now became glowing red liquid. Sam took out a syringe and pulled the liquid into it, before injected it into both of these guys with an equal share.
He waited for the medicine to kick in, while he tried to warm with the sculptor gorilla. The little guy was hesitant a bit, but soon he warmed up with Sam, but when he looked at the demi giant and the winged race guy, he couldn't help but shiver.
Sam thought of something and took out a formation disc. This is one of those three-dimensional hologram discs. He is still experimenting on them and this is one of the by-products.
He placed the disc on the patch of grass and activated it. A bunch of butterflies appeared as they circled around the little gorilla.
The little gorilla was in awe as he looked at the small beautiful butterflies and soon he started running after them.
Whenever he tried to catch them, he wasn't able to, but he was not discouraged, in fact, he cheered up quite a bit and ran around like a little kid. In fact, the Sculptor gorilla might even be a little over twelve years old which is just being a kid in terms of their maturity.
After distracting the little one, Sam took another formation and placed it around him, Sia, and the two captives.
"Before we start, let me tell you something. I am pissed and the thing I injected into you is actually something I made. It is similar to the pain enhancer that you gave the gorilla, but just ten times more potent and the small white-colored liquid that was added to it has only one percent, make the potion more sensitive to the body.
Now, slap each other on faces."
When Sam said this, they were dumbfounded. But they didn't react, Sam took out a knife and said.
"Slap each other or your genitals would be cut off."
They shivered in fright and immediately slapped each other. Of course, they didn't use full strength.
*PAK *PAK*
The sound is also not that loud. But as soon as they landed.
*AAARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGG"
Both of them cried in pain in unison.
"That is the effectiveness of the medicine I gave you.
Now, you will tell me each answer I want or you will skin you alive while keeping you high on that medicine all the time."
They didn't dare and immediately agreed.
Sam then closely asked about their identities, how a sculptor gorilla came to be in their hands. What is their purpose of torturing the creature? As he kept on receiving the answers, Sam became angrier and angrier. He started pulling the nails off of the fingers and toes slowly one by one. He behaved like an absolute savage.
And as they went into details, he couldn't control his strength and accidentally killed the other party with a slap.
Both of them died with just a single slap.
He tried his best to calm down. Luckily, the little guy was busy with the butterfly formation and Sam used an isolation formation for both of these guys, otherwise, he is sure that little guy wouldn't dare look at him again.
Sia and Sam soon started their journey back. Ape is currently in his large form as he carried the little gorilla who is the size of an adult human on his shoulders while the little guy enjoyed the fruit juice.
Soon, they returned to the camp and waited for the people to come back. By night, the team reassembled, but before they could even start the reports, Sam spoke.
"I want the Stone temple absolutely destroyed. Not a single person who is at the Nascent stage and above can be left behind. We are going to kill everyone and in a single shot. We need to plan perfectly for this."
When they heard Sam's words they were stunned. Before they could ask any questions, Sam explained.
He told them the situation of the sculptor gorilla and then continued with the information he got from the two kids.
It turned out that the main reason for the excellent golems of the stone temples is these gorillas. Of course, they didn't sculpt the bodies of the golems, but they used a similar technique to Sam. The temple residents who are direct descendants of the demi giants and the winged race will all be given a stone gorilla when they are of the Nascent stage and from then on, they will torture these poor creatures.
They only have one goal, they will torture all the gorillas to strengthen their souls and when they hit their potential, they will slaughter them and harvest their souls. Just like how Sam used the souls to create the liquid energy cells, they also use the souls to sculpt the bodies of the golems.
As for why they have to go through this tragic way, it is because the gorillas wouldn't be able to sculpt something they don't deem as artistic.
They sculpt things that they are grateful for, they sculpt things that they think are beautiful, but they wouldn't act like machines and it is not their choice, they are incapable of it.
And these people cannot do anything by making a contract with them, in fact, they cannot do so, as the soul will be damaged if they made a contract and tortured them. So, they keep all of them inside an inverted tower in the temple estate.
Each gorilla will be assigned to the people of the temple and they are in charge of torturing them.
Even the team felt sick hearing this. It might sound like they are all hypocrites considering the number of people they killed and tortured.
Particularly Sam, who captured people and placed them on the chessboard to do his bidding, but every person is a hypocrite and one can afford to be so if they are strong. As long as they can make up a justifiable excuse. And Sam's excuse is that he never picked someone that didn't have any enmity with.
They clashed, they lost and they are now on the chessboard. But torturing a creature that doesn't want to harm you in any way, is something too disgusting and a new low for everyone.
So, they started discussing the plans.
Meanwhile, Ape made a large amount of fruit juice in a wooden barrel and placed a bamboo straw in it before giving it to a gorilla.
And the little one got hooked on it soon. Because the gorillas are underfed and they would only be given nutrients for their cultivation. They wouldn't be given the food they want to eat, the fruits.
After discussing the plans, they immediately sprung into action. The next morning two things happened.
They looked for a high-level member of the temple who is not from the Demi giants or the Winged race community.
They captured the guy and Kiran's job is to imitate him and infiltrate the temple.
Meanwhile, Sam entered the city along with the Night Ghost like an arrogant young master.
He reached the temple and when the stewards at the gate greeted him, he threw a spatial ring at him, without turning back, when the stewards saw the contents of the ring, they were stunned and the news immediately spread that a big fish has entered the temple.
Sam was soon in a meeting with the elder of the temple.
"may I know who the young master is?"
"I am called Sam as for where I am from, you are not qualified to know. The only reason I am here is that I want the sculptors of your temple?"
"Pardon, young master."
"Don't worry, I am not poaching anyone, but rather I want all of you to work for me temporarily. I am placing a big order. I have some golem designs which are extremely special and they can only be made with special materials and I need them freshly made at specific times.
The total deal is worth ten billion spirit stones.
For the next month, cancel all your orders. I will send materials and the designs for them to your temple whenever I want and you would be responsible for sculpting it immediately and in the number that I want.
And I don't want any distractions with all the petty projects you take regularly. So, cancel all of your orders now and you can get this deal."
"Sir…" The Elder was stunned and hesitated.
He doesn't know how to react.
Sam threw another spatial ring on the table.
"Inside is the first batch of the designs, I am still in process of procuring the material required for it, so you can study it in the meantime. Along with that are spirit stones. The advance payment of Five billion."
