Chapter 770: Bubbles and Pods (1/2)
Sam hid inside the reef for quite a while and soon he saw the Sea Folk search parties coming towards the reeves. He is finally relieved.
When the search parties looked at the poison cloud that was formed around the reef and also the parts of their watcher beasts, they thought that is guy is there.
They seem to have recognized the scent of blood too and Sam who is watching them with his eye technique at maximum saw some excitement in their eyes.
The team that came first surrounded the reef and they started communicating on what to do.
They are not speaking and there are barely any gestures or signs in their communication method, so Sam couldn't understand fully.
But they are about to take action, he understood that much.
Sam waited for this chance.
One of the team members of the Sea folk extended his hand and a large water spear was conjured from the surrounding water and shot towards the reef.
The surrounding water didn't offer any resistance to the spear and in fact, it aided its speed.
*CRASH*
*BOOM*
The crash and the explosion happened one after another and the explosion created some waves in the water that made the sea folks move a few feet back.
But that is not the main problem, the poison that was already in the surroundings and the poison that newly came out of the grenades was also blown away by the explosion and it moved towards the sea folk.
Some of them are already experiencing the effects as soon as they came into contact with it.
The poison is seeping into their skin and it started hurting. Even Sam who placed the poison was surprised, even when the poison that was being blown away came into slight contact with them, it is still effective.
They are extremely vulnerable to it. But it would be harder and harder to attack them with poison as time passed. At the end of the day, the poison has to either go through the water or Sam had to inject it directly into their bodies.
The first case can be easily overcome as long as the other party concentrated on the water properly.
As for the second case, he still hasn't engaged in close combat with them. It is difficult to estimate the difficulty of this action.
But the current goal was achieved because soon the surrounding sea folk that is searching in different areas are all coming due to the explosion. They are sensitive to water and they could guess the scale of the explosion that caused enough waves.
As soon as the surrounding people all diverted their attention to the small reef, Sam came out and reached the blind spot that was given by the large reef and started swimming rapidly in the direction where the sea folk team came from.
After he swam for a few minutes, he encountered two Sea folk in front of him. But this time he didn't hide, he decided to test the waters with them, at least one of them.
He took out a vial of poison and activated the water elemental fusion as he moved towards the duo.
The duo also reacted fast enough and their speed is not any less than Sam.
They are fast and their instincts are very sharp as they made a move at Sam.
When both of them are near Sam, he broke the glass vial and took out a glass of dagger. He decided to test their resistance against the physical attacks.
The sudden appearance of poison made a bit of trouble for them and particularly one of them took the brunt of it. Sam focused on the second sea folk and stabbed him where the poison didn't affect him.
It felt like the dagger was stabbed into a thick jelly and there is a lot of resistance, but there is a clear expression of pain in the sea folk's eyes and Sam could faintly discern a telepathic scream that even reached his mind directly.
It seems like the Sea folk accidentally slipped the scream into his mind too.
Sam hurried up and attacked with different stabs covered in different elements. The water element has the least resistance and poison has a good effect.
The lightning element provided a good paralyzing effect and also this Gel-like state which made it hard for him to stab, was also halted for a second because of that.
