Chapter 803: Experimentation (1/2)

Sam was really intrigued by these creatures. They have a clear advantage over sirens. The water elemental energy is not affecting them that much. The attacks might cause them trouble but the problem is the element of surprise. The normal spiritual sense couldn't even scan its presence and the energy waves.

They are merged with the rocks completely. If Sam didn't use the energy vision and the urchins are not using the energy and a weird method to conceal themselves, then it would have been different. They are not completely concealing their energy, they are more like manipulating it to be 'invisible'.

But energy vision worked its wonders.

Sam was really impressed by these things, they are extremely different and dangerous and that is not because of their massive size, or their intimidating aura with a lot of killing intent which is extremely common in most beasts.

Rather they are just dangerous for what they are.

”Let me take a closer look.”

Sam asked and Varien nodded.

Sam started swimming towards the rock. There is only one urchin on it, so he is confident of dodging one spike at a time. And he did it. With water elemental fusion it is actually easy and before long he is already right beside the rock.

By now Sam could see the body of the urchin a bit clearer. The spikes bent flat and he could one of them standing right up and being shot at him. He dodged it once again and extended his hand towards the rock. But he noticed that all the spikes just stood at the same time pointing towards him.

Sam didn't wait a single second, he became alert and ducked down. But the sea urchin already shot all of them.

One spike hit the breathing device and destroyed the mask. While one of them hit him in the shoulder.

Varien became alert and was afraid Sam's arm would be lost, but Sam gestured him to stop right there.

Sam ducked down and threw the mask away before taking a new one. While wearing the new device with one hand, he used another hand to remove the spike.

The poison has a bit of burning sensation to it but that is because of something that Sam didn't expect.

Its potency didn't affect Sam. The burning sensation is because of the fire element and he is currently in the middle of water and using the water elemental energy.

This caused him a bit of surprise.

A water creature that is clearly surviving under the water and couldn't survive after if it was taken out had a fire element to it. Now he understood how that weird intricate formation within the spike can actually evaporate the liquid to gas. The heat is definitely not enough normally because of all the water here.

But the formation made it enough.

Sam ducked, he kicked the rock directly, but as soon as his leg touched the rock, it didn't give the impact he expected, it crumbled easily and what surprised him, even more, is that the rock is hollow.

The sea urchin that was stuck to one part of the rock is producing the spikes at a rapid pace and he could clearly see the rock that it was attached to being reduced in size.

Sam touched the rock carefully and turned it into the powder which made the sea urchin stop the spike production.

But the other end which was not visible to the outside until now still has spikes and he could sense that they were about to be launched.

Sam used his water elemental energy and froze the water around the sea urchin. The spikes that were very close to launching themselves stopped. But the heat from the spikes that come from the formation is trying to melt the ice. But the momentum is definitely gone.

Now the sea urchin is completely out of spikes.

He unfroze in and swam towards Varien.

”I would like to bring this back and study it a bit if you don't mind that is.”

”Sure. We already arranged a residence. Let's go.”

Sam went back with the sea urchin in hand. He didn't place it in the divine dimension forcefully, nor did he forcefully create a contract. He didn't want Varien to get too suspicious.

”You seem to have a remarkable resistance to the poison.”
