Chapter 775: Intense war (1/2)
Sam is currently in the forest of Planet 2. He is a few kilometers away from the base and is thinking of what to do next.
It has been around a week since he came back from Planet 1 without anyone noticing.
He is currently thinking about what he should do. The war at the Seashore is simply direct and there are not too many variables involved. But from what he saw, there is no way that the war could be hidden longer from the residents.
They will come to know about it sooner or later and Sam has a feeling that his visit to that large breeding base, the process will only be escalated.
He is sure that the Sea folk would be pissed beyond belief and would definitely take it out on the troops.
Sam is thinking about whether he should help them directly or indirectly. Even though he doesn't have to care too much and has no obligations towards the people of this realm and even the rage of these sea folk is inevitable with time, he did escalate the situation faster. He is responsible for their loss of time to prepare.
So, he has to make it up some way and he also has to think of a way to sell them to the military without anyone suspecting that he visited the sea.
This is a bit problematic.
No matter how he hinted it to them, he would have trouble selling them without raising any suspicions.
He shook his head and decided to think about it later. Currently, the breathing device will be a great device for them and even the flatfish puppets would work, but the harpoon guns will be a bit troublesome.
As they are made to attack beasts and they are not even made for killing, they can only severely damage them.
But with the coordination of these Sea folk and their care for each other, not only would they rescue then injured one, they will even deal with the attacker with a newfound anger.
They have to have more trouble than that.
Sam thought for a minute and went into the research mode.
But he couldn't do that in the middle of the forest, even if it is in the divine dimension. He went to the underground cave where he killed those black-cloaked people and decided to stay there for now.
He doesn't want to go back to Planet 1 as he wants to test the effectiveness of the research results right here on this planet and he can also use his crew in the base to help with some assemblies whenever he wanted.
He decided to upgrade all three items he wants to sell.
Particularly, the flatfish puppets and the harpoon guns.
He wants to change the harpoon mechanism of the flatfish puppets which will make the attacks more effective. He decided to use the air-powered harpoon gun mechanism. Even though the harpoons are shorter and smaller, it would still be a significantly lethal attack if used correctly and he also decided to add the metal cable and trapped spear tip.
That would make the flatfish puppet more useful and versatile as they can even lock their opponents down in place.
The normal harpoon gun is not that useful against the sea folk, the second generation worked well, but the spear is too large that is not staying within and creating enough damage.
He has to find a way to create more damage, so he has to change the way the spear tip trap works.
He started researching without any rest.
The changes are not exactly too complicated. He doesn't even have to create any new mechanisms, he has all the research in his hands and all he has to do is change the size and shape a bit to fit his requirements.
It only took fifteen days within the divine dimension which is around one and a half-day outside.
He went in in the afternoon of the previous day.
Now it is already night.
He took a brief rest and went back into the divine dimension to research something else.
The corpses of the sea folk.
He noticed that the sea folks are completely different in biological aspects. First, they don't have any genitals or other sexual organs that could indicate their gender. It is as if they are gender-neutral and they can reproduce as long as they reached a certain level without any intercourse.
But that is not even the point that made Sam curious. What made him curious is the flesh and the rest of the body structure.
It is as if they don't have any bones at all. Their body's defense is also handled differently. They are not defending the attacks with the hardness of the skin or some defensive spells and flashy tricks, their flesh is becoming a gel-like viscous substance that is stopping the flow of the attacks into the body.
The blood that is coming out of their body is even more interesting.
Sam looked at the corpses in front of him. Most of them have minimum blood and they didn't even rot even after staying there for such a long time.
There is little blood though.
