Re-Birth of a Genius. Creator/Destroyer

Chapter 1712: Explore



Chapter 1712: Explore

Sam moved on his wheelchair and moved to the spot that he was supposed to scout. The first thing he did is try to check the ground for any minerals.

He might not have any access to the myriad of skills he painfully gathered over the years. But there is one thing the gods cannot take away from him no matter how much they tried.

It is his knowledge.

Sam might not be able to use energy vision, observation and such, but he sure as can observe with his own two eyes. He can use the knowledge from all the things he studied and figure out what he want the old fashioned way.

He checked the samples of earth and used his spiritual sense to the maximum as he observed the nature of the soil.

There are no mineral traces around. But the soil is filled with a lot of wood elemental energy. Sam went ahead and checked the surrounding vegetation to see if he will come across something interesting.

And within a few minutes, he came across a patch of trees. The trees are exceptionally black. Their trunk, bark, branches and even the leaves and roots are thick dark black.

They are sticking out like a sore thumb in the middle of this lush green vegetation.

Sam tried to break a low hanging branch that he could reach. But it didn't break easily. He has to put a lot of effort and use his spiritual energy and he could barely break one branch. And it was an extremely nasty break.

Sam is surprised by the wood material. It is extremely strong and dextrous. Its elastic limit is way too high for wood.

It has both high tensile strength and compressive strength. Even its shear strength is not bad.

'This will make a good bow. I wonder why no one bothered to check this out until now. Even Brice didn't have any memory of a material like this.'

He thought to himself and pretty soon, he got the answer he was looking for.

As he is examining the black wood, the earth trembled a bit before a large hole appeared under the wheel chair.

*CRASH*

A snake popped out of the ground and crashed into the wheelchair.

Sam was thrown off and the wheel chair was broken.

He hit a branch on the top and fell on the ground. A large snake with dark black scales bared its fangs at Sam.

It is oozing wood elemental and Earth elemental energy.

Sam is surprised by its appearance. Because it is another beast that he never came across.

"To think I get to see two new beasts back to back."

He muttered to himself and sat upright. He got ready to combat the beast.

He once again skimmed thorugh Brice's memories to confirm if he saw the beast before or not. And there is nothing of that sorts. It is indeed a new beast.

The Closest similarity it has is to a Black Scaled Viper. But it is a beast of Dark element and Venom. The only similarity is the appearance.

Sam injected his spiritual energy into his arms as he got ready to right.

He is at a clear disadvantage. The beast is big in size. It is highly agile and flexible. Meanwhile, Sam's movements are hindered to a great extent. He cannot wield any weapons too. All he has is the weaving skill.

Since he cannot even use Loom in situations like these, he has to stick to normal hand weaving with tapestry needles.

There is nothing else. But at least, those needles will act as a weapon since they are made of a very high quality material. Sam didn't bring out the needles directly though.

He is thinking of how to use these needles to the maximum efficiency while he waited for the snake to the make the first move.

The snake expanded its mouth of the maximum and tried to swallow Sam as a whole.

Sam slammed the earth with his fists and used the recoil to move to the side. He caught the snake's head while he was in mid-air. He circled both of his arms around it and held it in a choke hold.

Since his arms are not long enough to cover the whole neck of the snake, he could exert more pressure and try to crush it.

The snake started struggling. It swung its neck violently and tried to get rid of Sam. It crashed into the trees, and rocks in the surroundings, but Sam didn't let go. He tried to get used to its movement and after he finally did, two tapestry needles appeared in his hands.

He closed his eyes and shifted all of his focus to the needles. The energy turned into threads and soon, they threads from both needles intertwined.

The link between two needles became thicker and stronger. Within a few moments, Sam controlled the energy threads to shorten a bit, but he didn't leg on the both ends.

He reinforced the arms with extra spiritual energy. As the thread tightened, the grip around the neck of the snake tightened. And as the two palms slowly got closer, the snake felt its neck getting crushed more and more.

Sam didn't want to kill this beast, if it allows him to. So, when the snake stopped struggling in its last breath. He let go of the grip. The snake crashed into the ground.

Sam collected the samples of the roots of the tree with black wood and the samples of the soil around it. The snake was left there unconscious. Sam tried to identify the tendons it had to cut them down and made it unable to move.

He stored the samples in the storage ring and scouted the remaining part of the area.

There is nothing else other than some small common beasts. Sam killed those beasts without and brough the deadbodies back along with him.

As for the snake, he left it there only and went back to their base camp.

"I cleared my area. All the beasts are gone. Extend the perimeter there. Also, I drew some blueprints of the formations. Rec use your dark elemental energy and the corpses to lay down those formations. Do not use normal flags and nodes."

Everyone was dumbfounded.

"But, Captain. You said, we are only scouting."

"Yes, you guys are only scouting. That doesn't apply to me. Anyway, there is a snake that I subdued and crippled in that area. Bring that back safely. Don't heal it and don't give it a chance to escape. Don't kill it.

I want it alive.

Bring it to the base camp first and proceed with the rest of the tasks. But before all of that, give me a complete report of your scouting."

"But Cap.."

"Shut up and do what I say. I already told you. My situation is quite different from before. So, I am pretty pissed at everything and anything that could annoy me. For the next week, just do what I say. We are going to conquer this place as much as we can. We are going to occupy most part of the valley before by the end of the week.

Do you understand?"

Sam didn't get any response which made him frown.

"DO YOU UNDERSTAND?"

He screamed at them and all four of them shivered for a moment before they saluted.

"YES, SIR."

"Good, now start with your reports and fuck off."

Sam said as he sat down.

The reports were done within no time.

"I will deal with these three four places one by one.

While I work on the first one, the four of you finish the tasks I gave you. By the time I am done there, Vice, come and meet me at the second spot, the remaining three go back and start scouting new areas. When we are done with the remaining three, the four of your once again deal with the clean up and formation set ups.

Do you guys understand?"

"Yes, Sir."

They left to finish the tasks Sam gave.

Three Hours passed and Sam found a couple of herbs and another new beast.

He captured the beast forcefully and collected the samples of the herbs. And they also collected a good chunk of land in that time.

At least they took over one-twelfth of the total valley which is already a great headstart compared to others.

From what the Grey wolf squad told them, the young masters will most likely visit that night or the next morning by the latest.

Even if they visited that night and set up the camp and other stuff, they won't be conquering much of the place. The progress would be minimal. So, Sam doesn't have to worry too much and if they progress just like this through the whole night, he will have a much more significant headstart that could counter the man power other people have.

But he cannot move by himself that night like he did until then. So, he drew up the plans for his team to move around, while he planned to do something else.
