Chapter 774: Large Pod with eggs (1/2)
Sam finally felt that the body stopped moving and he heaved a sigh as he looked at the crystal table.
The image of the surroundings slowly manifested as he looked at the table.
The first thing that came in the image is the image of a large bubble that is full of corpses in which he is currently. He thought that would be the only corpse bubble, but to this surprise, there are several of those corpse bubbles around this bubble and they are all filled with corpses of the land beasts, elves, humans, centaurs, half-elves, sea creatures, and so on.
He was surprised to see some birds too. This is completely unexpected.
He expanded the range and soon other areas came. By the time the whole image was created, he widened his eyes in disbelief.
It is not the sheer number of pods and the bubbles that made him this shocked neither was the number of sea folk that is simultaneously moving around and training here. Rather, he was surprised by a single object that was in the middle of the bubbles and in fact created and supported a much larger bubble that was covering over all the relatively smaller and compact bubbles.
It is a large pod. The pod is so huge that it is around 100 feet tall and there is a single sea folk standing on top of it without any movement.
As he watched at the sheer magnificence of this pod, the egg-shaped pod opened up like a flower.
In the middle of the pod, there is a tall and large central pillar upon which the sea folk stood without moving as the pod opened.
The pod now became a large and hard flower, each petal being the part of the shell and in each petal, there are around a dozen glowing things.
The Sea folk that are standing nearby swam over and started picking these glowing things out.
Each of those glowing objects is one foot tall and they are embedded into the petals.
When the Sea folk removed these objects from the petals, they lost their glow, and Sam was surprised once again and zoomed in to see if what he saw was real.
The objects that lost their glow turned out to be the same egg-shaped pods he saw in the first bubble he visited.
These are the very pods that he saw fetuses inside.
But he didn't check the roots of the pods at that time and now he can see them directly. There are tentacles that looked similar to that of an octopus.
The Sea folk that collected the pods or eggs took them in a water bubble and brought them towards an open ground..
They dug the ground and planted some of the eggs and then went to meet some more sea folk and handed the rest over.
These Sea folk took the eggs and moved in different directions.
The process went on for hours and soon the Sea Folk on top of that transparent cylinder looked around for a second and seemed to have sent some message as all the sea folk looked towards him.
Sam couldn't understand what they are communicating.
The sea folk on top of the pod tapped his leg and he dropped into that transparent cylinder as he floated in some weird liquid inside.
The large pod started closing as each petal rose up slowly.
The Sea folk all bowed down to that large pod as a sign of respect and started moving towards the corpse bubbles, they started taking all the corpses and carried them towards the large egg pod and some of them carved out some pieces of flesh from the corpses and buried them near the newly planted egg pods.
Sam's concentration was interrupted for the first time, as the corpse he was hiding in was moving.
He remembered that he was also in a corpse and realized that he has to escape.
But first, he has to come out of the corpse.
Sam made all the preparations and wore a new breathing device and prepared for everything before taking a deep breath.
Meanwhile, the Sea folk that are carrying the corpses towards the large egg are doing so in a fast pace and didn't stop for anything.
They are burying the corpse in different places around the egg pod and they are burying one corpse at one spot.
