After taking a detour from the first large cluster of bubbles, Sam encountered many more living creatures in the area and he even saw some sea folks occasionally.
Most of the time he just hid from them without causing much trouble.
But soon he saw this transcendent level sea folk swimming in the water along with these corpses in the bubble and he is not alone.
There is a large octopus along with him that is following around and this octopus seemed to have a larger sensory field. No matter how much Sam tried to avoid and hide, this octopus led the sea folk to his direction and just when he thought he got them off his back and tried to escape in a different direction, he was greeted with them out of nowhere.
It turned out that the octopus is not just good at sensing others, it is also good at disguising.
This is a beast that Sam couldn’t recognize which means, it might be a mutant of this realm that was relatively new.
It covered the whole pile of corpses, the sea folk and itself and disguised itself as a rock.
And that is not the only thing.
It actually spread ink in all the different directions faintly which is also the reason Sam took this one particular direction.
And now here he is, fooled easily. If only he knew something about this beast, he would have been more careful. Everything happened too suddenly.
In fact it is actually very surprising that Sam managed to stay hidden this long in enemy territory. That is only because he took advantage of the vastness of the sea to his advantage. Now he has to face the enemy who is stronger than himself and another beast that is at least as strong as him.
This is not exactly a favorable situation to him.
He doesn’t know anything about what these sea folk are made of and how they are born.
From what he saw, the deeper he went the density of these people is not only increasing and he might find another cluster of these sea folk.
He wants to see their hierarchy, their living conditions and ways.
One thing he is sure is that the pods are not only responsible for their birth, they are also responsible for healing when they are injured critically and the flesh and corpses are major source of the nutrition.
He is going deeper to see if he can find a large base of the sea folk and a large city or something like that.
He would like to see someone who is behind the scenes and doing this. But it seems like it is harder than he thought.
After he dealt with the current problem, Sam has to find a way to move discreetly even if it means to slow down a bit.
While Sam is rapidly thinking to all the things that led to here and what he would do after this, a voice was heard in his head that stunned him for a second.
[Who are you? What are you doing here?]
Sam looked at him with a confused expression. He fought a dozen of these guys and no one talked to him or tried to communicate him.
Most of Sam’s face is covered with the breathing equipment. Only his eyes are visible through the glass.
[You must be the human that is causing trouble to us. I thought you would have already been taken care of, but it seems like those guys are getting rusty and I have to take care of their problems.]
As the voice played out, the octopus started excreting the ink into the surroundings and Sam didn’t just stay around. He came out of his daze and started sorting out the poison vials in his storage.
The first one he has to take is clearly the hydra poison he collected over days and the rest are the poison cocktails he created from the Naga Loka.
The sea folk raised his hand and the ink started condensing into a spear. Sam could guess what would happen if that spear impaled into him.
He would die in seconds. He wouldn’t even survive a single shot.
So, he could only do one thing. His body started glowing with golden light and he activated light elemental fusion.
That is the only thing that has more speed than the water element in the water.
He didn’t even do the partial fusion. He did the complete fusion and the sea folk is pretty relaxed. He didn’t worry about Sam at all, which is worrying to Sam.
Sam looked at the spear that is still swirling but not coming towards him. He took a deep breath from the breathing device before storing it away and did something else. His golden body started glowing with green light.
Since the other party is dumb enough give time to Sam, he is more than happy to take it.
Sam finally made his move and this move made the Sea folk stunned.
Because, he didn’t run away instead he moved towards this guy. Even though Sam is fast and faster than any pre-transcendent stage cultivator, the sea folk still managed to dodge.
Sam went past the sea folk and collided with the large bubble carrying the corpses. The bubble burst open and the corpses all fell and there is a large glow of light that could be seen from hundreds of meters.
The Sea folk couldn’t look at that though, he is currently having trouble because while Sam is moving past him, he left a bunch of open poison vials there and that is half of the hydra poison he accumulated over days.
His right side is completely corroded with the poison.
He came out of that poison cloud and looked at the corpses. The octopus is also searching for Sam, but to their surprise, they couldn’t find him.
He disappeared into thin air with that light.
They looked the corpses for a while but they couldn’t see anything.
The sea folk made some angry noises before leaving with the octopus.
He soon arrived at a cluster of these hemispherical bubbles. Another gathering of these sea folk and there are a lot of them training.
He went to the trainer there and reported the situation. The trainer looked at the poisoned body and examined him for a while and used his energy to try and clear the poison.
But the effort is fruitless as only a small amount of poison came out of the body.
The corpses were thrown into the bubble that was filled with the rest of the other corpses.
That guy that brought the corpses and half of his body poisoned left with his octopus and the trainer went back to the training.
The people who are burying the corpses under the pods are also doing their job.
But what they don’t know is that there is a human corpse among the corpses that is moving whenever they are not there.
There is a blue round crystal inside the stomach of the fish and it is escaping to the far corner as much as possible to not get picked earlier.
And it worked. The corpses are picked one by one and there are a lot of them stored inside, so he was not picked and the new corpses are piling up on it as the time passed which threw it back into the queue.
Sam is currently in the divine dimension as he enjoyed the sensation of not being in the water.
He didn’t use any space gate or transference scroll or something else to escape, he just used the oldest trick in the book. Hide in plain sight.
Well it wouldn’t exactly satisfy the requirements for the criterion to be hiding in plain sight, he just bluffed them with the bright glow and made the divine dimension enter one of the human corpses and after they dumped it here, he let the specter out and cast necromancy on it.
For some reason, the water bubble they are using has a very good effect of preserving the body and it is still suitable for normal necromancy even though the shadow necromancy and the soul necromancy.
The specter is making it move so that he can hide.
He wanted to see where the corpses are being taken and he is not disappointed he is at another cluster of these large bubbles full of pods.
Now all he has to do is wait for a chance to explore more.
But he was disappointed now, because as he waited the trainer who is training the sea folk for a while came to the bubble and hauled more than half of the corpses and created another bubble as he took them to some place else.
Sam was surprised. He didn’t expect that the corpses would be hauled to some other place.
He waited for another two hours. He struggled to maintain the necromancy state, well technically it is the specter that is having the most trouble.
He couldn’t see much outside and he can at most look at the crystal table. But he is in no hurry to do that. He decided to wait until this motion has stopped and looked at it.
