Chapter 803: Experimentation (2/2)

”I do actually. Most poisons unless they reached an extreme level of potency will not affect me. It is my body's natural gift.”

”It's indeed a gift.”

They returned to the city and Sam was indeed given a residence. He couldn't help but marvel at the dome created by them.

Even though they lived underwater and liked to be in it, they made the city under this large bubble enclosing it from the water.

All of it is just to do the work that is not really possible in the water.

He went to the residence he was given and started examining the sea urchin. He placed it in a small pool of water and the first thing it did is to search for the rocks under it. Unlike the normal sea urchins, it is rolling fast and it is moving clearly.

Once there are no individual rocks inside, it stuck itself to the wall of the pool and started absorbing it. The spike grew at a fast rate.

At this moment, Sam placed his hand near the wall of the lake from the surface and checked the rock carefully.

The rock is being slowly consumed by the sea urchin.

It is clearly using the method to absorb the rock. But Sam couldn't understand it. He pulled the sea urchin forcefully out of it, threw some lumps of metal inside the pool, and let it go once again. This time, the sea urchin searched for the rocks once again and when it came into contact with the metal, it seemed to be examining a bit more, before attaching to it.

It didn't go for the rock walls. Sam looked at the spikes that are being made at a rapid pace. This time they are different, there is a metallic sheen to it and Sam knew for a face if they are shot, then the situation would be worse than it is for the targets.

He used his water element to create fishes out of the water and surrounded the urchin, the urchin couldn't take it and threw all the spikes at them.

The spikes lodged themselves into the walls of the pool.

Sam took out one of the spikes and looked at it carefully. He couldn't help but marvel by the fact that the formation still stayed even in these metal ones. These sea urchins are really a gift for him. The spikes that are made are decent sized and once they are shot, they are not being damaged too much and they have an intricate formation carved inside along with a natural propellant network.

It is almost like it is unfair for the rest of the sea creatures for one creature to have such a gift. The worst of all is that it can negate most water elemental attacks.

Now, Sam took out the sea urchin and placed both rocks and metal pieces. This time, it went for the rocks directly. The problem might have been because the metal is taking a bit too much time.

He thought of something and created another hole in the rocky ground. This time, he placed some scrap metal inside and melted it and they cooled it down.

Now he filled it with water and forcefully took the sea urchin from the first pool and threw it into the second. There are no individual rocks or scrap metal, only the walls of the lake that are made of metal. As expected it stuck to it.

Now Sam placed his hand into the pool and turned the metal coating into the powder.

The sea urchin became a bit shaky and it pushed the metal powder away and stuck to the rock wall.

Sam did all kinds of experiments with this thing.

He created some pools and added different items, like plants, herbs, different metals of different affinities, rocks of different affinities, spirit stones, the used-up spirit stones, everything he could think of.

And there is one thing that came to his mind, by the time he was done with this.

He has to catch some of these things and take them back with him.

These things are natural weapon makers and those weapons also have great structural strength and they are all of equal size and shape without a minuscule difference.

But for that, he has to find a way to get into the middle of them, defend against the spikes and catch them all together.

And he can understand why the Sirens wanted him to come. Weapon making and other things are not these guys' specialty and even if they had ideas, they couldn't execute them. So, they want a person who can think out of the box and create something that can help them get by easily.

As for why they didn't ask the elves for help, Sam has a feeling that if he is an elf they wouldn't have let him come here and show this problem and thought of a different way to deal with it. It is because he is a human that they even tried to trust him.
