Chapter 768: Into the Sea (1/2)

Sam digested the information as he stared at the moon.

From what the Old beast casually said, there are four races in the Charbhum realm and they are humans, centaurs, sirens, and the Elves who ruled the territory.

But the information that the centaur's body gave him clearly made him realize that there is the fifth race.

The Blue Sea-Folk.

They are a special race and there is very little information about them in the centaur's head. But they rule the sea on this planet and they have absolute control over it. The deeper they go into the sea the more powerful beings they could encounter.

The Centaur seems to be a person of higher rank as there is some more information in his head.

The Sea-Folk don't reproduce like any other race. They don't have sex, gender, and intercourse. There are no men or women in their race. As for how they reproduce, it is still a mystery for normal soldiers

The Sea-Folk do not communicate with elves or humans. They don't talk the same language and they never tried to be friendly.

They are not active in the morning for some reason, but they are only passive when it comes to invasion and war on the land.

The soldiers have tried to go into the city many times in the daytime and even though the journey is smooth for a certain extent, they started their worst nightmare that came in the day.

The sea-folk acted like they are part of the water itself.

They easily destroyed the troops that came into the sea either by swimming or by the ships. Particularly swimming.

If the normal soldiers, whether they are humans or elves encountered the sea folk within the water, they couldn't handle them at all. It is not even a competition even with the water elemental powers, because the main problem is that they couldn't get a hold of the sea folk within the water and they have unlimited endurance.

The Sea folk will not attack to kill, they will use the water to make the person the opponent tired and suffocated. It would be hard for the people to get in the water and come up to take a second breath.

And when they reached that state, the seafolk would start to engage in close combat in which case they can easily win.

This is an extremely tough opponent. They have bodies, but they have high water elemental fusion rate and it is extremely fast which makes them invulnerable in water.

The long-range water attacks are useless and even other water-based attacks like ice and mist are easily deflected. As for the other elemental attacks, lightning has some effect, the fire has the obvious effect and the wind is the only thing that couldn't be died down by the water element in the sea, but that also doesn't damage them.

Even though the physical attacks are not extremely efficient and couldn't be landed easily, they are also the most effective once they landed.

These are some tough opponents. Sam is really interested in these creatures and how they operate. From the looks of it, they also have an extremely high affinity to form a contract with the underwater beasts so they are even more dangerous than they already are.

Their vulnerability of physical attacks can only be exploited when they are on the land. Sam could understand why the army could only stay defensive.

There is also another interesting thing Sam noticed. There is a time when some high-level people attacked the sea and some high-level sea folk attacked the land which only resulted in mutual losses and then there is another exploration team in the past that used some newly bred flowers that could be used as air storage.

It is a flower similar to an insect-eating flower, but they are genetically modified to act as air pockets that store a large amount of air which the diver used to cover the mouth and nose. They can breathe normally.

But even that only helped them for an hour or so in the deep sea and the flowers are not at all mass-producible and the price they had to pay is also extremely high.

They even sent some Consummates into the sea with those but nobody came back.

Sam is really intrigued by this. This is something he wants to explore. Anyway, the main confidence is that he is sure that he can escape in most of the situations.

He looked at the soldiers that are still on the beach, there is a small festive atmosphere amongst them.

But this is understandable. For years, the soldiers are fighting with these people every night. These are the most resilient and defensive fighters in the realm within the Pre-transcendent stage.

The centaur also has another memory in his mind which is a lot less significant.
