Chapter 240: Aqua Crystal (1/2)
Sam and the gang are now inside the dimension and the crystal is hidden underground by the Drunkard.
As the guys are having a meal, Sam is going through the bestiary, to see what kind of Porpoise beast is that came after them and the only clues that he has are the crystalline wall that stopped them in their tracks and the unclear view of the creature itself.
It took more than two days and a revision of the data of both minerals and the beasts.
They are called Grey Fin Porpoises and they live in large communities and the crystal that is forming a wall is actually an active material just like the rubies he got from Maya. I.t is called Aqua crystal
But the energy it emits is not pure and the water around it will be contaminated by this, it was all too coincidental that the Grey Fin porpoises don't like these crystals as they would numb their senses gradually of, they stay in that region.
Thankfully, the Aqua crystal's contamination range is not too large and the water is not polluted with high concentration as it would be diluted by the entire ocean.
Now, Sam understood why the Porpoises didn't attack the spiritual stone mines. The aversion towards this crystal is more than the attraction towards the mine.
And judging by the aura he felt and the shoal that came after him, Sam knew that the leader of the whole community of the Porpoises is very high-level and it would definitely be a Peak six level at a minimum. Otherwise, judging from the bloodline of the Grey fin Porpoises it is actually quite difficult to control shoals and shoals of Level 4 Porpoises.
There is a high possibility that the leader would be a Level 7.
Sam is now thinking of how to use this.
There are two ways and one way is to irritate the Porpoises so much that the aversion towards the crystals would be overcome by their irritation he causes and the second way is a very gradual way and it would be slowly mining away the whole crystal wall which almost covers the whole seashore of three count territories.
But the second method would be more effective and the results would be long-lasting, the only thing is it would also take considerable time and effort to do this.
So, he has to think about what to do, to reduce the time and effort of this. One way to solve the issue would me making a suitable machine but that would also take too much time even with the consideration of the time advantage he has from the second floor of the tower.
After some serious thought, Sam had a mischievous but a sure-fire plan.
After that, he explained the plan to the remaining three and they started moving again. The first step of the plan is to sneak into the Indigo Sea city and go to the Golden-Horse trading union in disguise.
Sam walked in like an old man and a cloak. He had a hunched back and a staff in his hand to support himself while walking. The cloak has several concealment inscriptions which made his face invisible. He even used an illusion inscription to subconsciously make the people think and make them ignore his face.
Sam walked towards the section where the minerals are traded and placed a piece of Aqua crystal on the table.
”Do you have this crystal in stock?” He asked in a husky and shaking voice.
The person-in-charge started examining the crystal and didn't find it familiar and Sam knew why because unlike the rubies, this aqua crystal doesn't have many uses other than spoiling something, at least he didn't find any in all the data he has. This is actually a minor mineral that only occupied a small space even in the whole database that Ling Tian provided him.
But this is going to make things easier for him.
”Excuse me, sir. May I ask, if I can ask my supervisor to take a look?”
”Well, I am not comfortable about parting with the crystal, it is highly valuable.” His voice sounded hesitant and uncomfortable.
This made the person in charge eye the crystal once again and said.
”My supervisor, would come here and take a look in your presence, please don't worry.”
After that, a middle-aged man came towards the counter and examined the crystal with no results.
”Sir, we don't have this crystal in stock, if you could explain what it does, we can ask around in our other branches.”
”If you don't know, what it is then let us just leave it at that. It would be no use asking it in other branches if you don't have it in yours.”
