Chapter 776: Testing
By dawn, the sea folks are retreating as usual. But they are not going normally.
The water level that rose up is being retracted and they are using that very water to carry all the corpses back into the sea along with them.
Sam decided to take advantage of that.
All he has to do is go onto the cliff and jump into that water while the soldiers are distracted with their own cleaning up and he did exactly that. He used full speed on the harbinger to get on the cliff and jumped straight into the water.
But before jumping not only did he put the harbinger away, he also activated earth element fusion and turned into a rock while he rolled up by a boulder.
Even when the soldiers who are in extreme distress saw this 'boulder' falling from the cliff, they are in no mood to care about what it truly was and investigate it.
They are too busy sulking and recovering and went back into the base.
But the Sea folk are different. Even though they are in hurry to return to the sea for some reason, once they returned to the sea, they saw Sam who already wore the breathing device, and took out the new harpoon gun in his hands.
The length and mechanism are all same. Only the trapping mechanism of the spear was changed into a different mechanism.
The Sea folk are already informed of a human that made a fuss in the sea folk area and he is the prime target and since they couldn't find him as they don't know his face, they are taking it out on the soldiers.
Now that they saw him again, they let go of all the exhaustion they had and tried their best to move towards him so that they finish him off.
They are currently in the middle of the shallow waters and the deep waters.
Sam aimed his harpoon gun at one of the coming targets and the harpoon impaled itself into the target.
But after the cable acquired the required tension, the trap opened and this time the trap didn't just grip the flesh normally instead the small blades are zooming into different corners of the body and creating few large tears on the body and when the trap was done, the body was cut into six pieces and the spear trap went back to its original position.
There is no need for him to even retract the trap, he just has to call the spear back to him.
The sea folk didn't stop, they didn't even care about their comrade that Sam just killed.
They are just coming at him with full rage.
Sam took out the flatfish puppet and wore it rapidly as he moved in the water. His own speed is actually faster than when he used puppet, but this is just a project testing and now he has to test the harpoon shooting.
The harpoons on this are much smaller than that of the gun and in this one, Sam used a different trap.
Sam shot the harpoon to one of the sea folks and it hit. The trap opened and this time, the strings are not as sharp as the previous ones. They held this gel like flesh in their grip as if it merged with it and when the harpoon is being retracted through the cable, the sea folk came along with it.
And due to the constant blood loss that is happening, he couldn't even escape.
And the air-powered mechanism is good for shooting at a higher force and speed. This test was also a success and Sam wants to test the last modification. The breathing device.
He is going with the helmet-type device for them and not just that, he is also going to create a small emergency utility for them.
The flatfish puppet's harpoon has pulled the sea folk closer and Sam let it come close enough to see it dead in the eyes through that helmet screen.
He injected spiritual energy into the helmet and a hollow metallic shot was fired from the side of the helmet straight into the eye.
The contents in the shot are the poisons that are normal poisons that could even be found in this world. It even came from plants.
He wants to see what kind of reaction the sea folk has and he was not disappointed. He used sea folk as a meat shield for the attacks all the while moving around and observing the reactions the poison has on its body.
For some reason, Sam felt that the body of the sea folk is too pure and easily affected by something else. Particularly the poisons. Even though some of the effects are not deadly, it is still good at slowing them down and the poison stays in their body longer than that of humans.
While observing, Sam started killing a good few sea folks around him and took the bodies away, before using escaping from them.
He stored everything away and moved with his light elemental fusion as he escaped into the horizon. The whole sea would be affected because of Sam's presence as the sea folk would go wild. But Sam didn't care.
He is not going to stay in this place anyway.
Even though he is eye-catching no sea folk could catch up to his speed and he is certainly not in a pickle situation like that large breeding base.
He went to the sea area which met the sore near a large cliff where the sea folk activity is less after traveling for half a day.
He came out from there and let Sky out to escape into the air.
He is extremely exhausted and he even had to replenish his energy many times in this escape.
After that, he escaped into the forest, found a cave, and took residence there to take a look at the bodies before they are spoiled.
He has around half a dozen of them with him.
He went to the salt lake and separated a stingray from the rest and kept it in a smaller pond before giving it a whole body of the sea folk.
The stingray first went for the blood that is seeping out of the body and then started eating the flesh. After it ate half of the body, it went into a slight slumber.
He left the body like that and put the remaining in another salt pool just to preserve them.
He picked one and went into the tower to do some experiments on it while it is still fresh.
He started injecting the blood essences, elemental energies, and many more.
The body reacted differently for every single thing. He really felt like catching a live one.
That would have been better, but he knew that they would chase him to the end of the world if he really caught one alive.
They have this weird bond that is hard to find in any other species.
They are okay with Sam killing a dozen sea folk in battle in the shallow waters, but they are not okay with him killing a weaker one at their home. This is weird for him.
For the next few days, he did some experiments, but there is not much he found out. Everything is the same for him.
Except for the poison, there is nothing Sam could use against them. The body is full of water elemental energy and it is almost like the water elemental energy took shape in these creatures and it reacts to the poison that has water element to it extremely highly and corrodes easily.
Apart from that, there is nothing else he could do.
Sam decided to go back to his base secretly and give the new design to his original crew and make them familiar with creating the new mechanisms while he hatched plans to sell it to the one-star military unit and make a big haul of money.
He would make at least twenty billion out of these three designs if not more.
He took off on the harbinger and went back to the base and waited in the cave.
Once the night hit, Sam went to the base secretly with the help of the shadow mouse and contacted his own crew member.
His presence shouldn't be known to anyone as his travel was not recorded at the wormhole station, he would be having the trouble of his life if he was spotted here.
After contacting them, the crew changed their daily routine as they shifted into a new for their work, where Sam stayed temporarily without coming out and explained the new mechanism and the new manufacturing process while training them and creating a proper assembly line.
After a few days of training, Sam decided to return to Planet 1.
It has been around two weeks since he came here. It is about time he returned and met with his friends.
He also has to meet with his business partners to sell these designs without raising any suspicions.
