Chapter 116 - Preparations

nSam holed himself up in the library as he browsed through the information on various trees that produce resins.

nThe first thing he wanted to do is find a tree that is similar to rubber tree to make some form of material which will not allow the water to go through it.

nBut he wasn't able to do so, because, there are no records of those type of trees. To put it more bluntly, nobody ever bothered to make a record of these trees which they didn't know how to use.

nThen, Sam started thinking in another way. Beast organs. He went through the bestiary again and started recalling all the characteristics of the beasts that were mentioned and after more than ten days inside the library, he found a possibility.

nThat is to use the stomach sack of a Bladed white shark, this is one of the beasts with strong stomachs that is both physically and against the corrosive and poisonous effects and one more advantage is, there are mutated ones in the indigo patch and he can just buy them off.

nNext day, Sam went to the Golden- Horse trading company of this city, there is he requested he needed twenty Bladed white sharks and the only condition is that their stomach shouldn't be injured.

nWithin two days, Sam's order was ready, by this time, Jack is already done with his task and gave the loot to Sam and they mainly consisted of the millions of spirit stones and the fourteen cubes of Grey meteorite sand.

nEven though, Jack is bit happy that he was able to complete, there are many hiccups and he wasn't able to coordinate properly with the Count mansion.

nWhen he asked Sam when they would move to the next city, he got a reply that Sam needs more time for research, so he easily complied, they are way ahead of their schedule and he can use this time to catch up on his cultivation.

nSam went to the second floor of the tower and he stood at a table which has bladed white shark on it.

nThis Bladed white shark is one of the beasts which is thrice the size of a white shark in his previous life.

nSam used a knife, to cut open the shark and started taking the guts out and after some cleaning, he finally had a big sack in his hands.

nThis is the stomach of the shark.

nBut this Bladed white shark is mutated and most of its organs including the stomach is a bit indigo in colour.

nSam didn't make anything out of this stomach immediately, instead he placed the stomach in a big glass container filled with the indigo water and he also started increasing the water pressure with his wind ability.

nHe just started compressing the water with his wind element.

nAnd just like that he is performing all kinds of tests on it and the final one is a test on fire resistance and Sam couldn't help but feel disappointed but that didn't last long, because he has many different alternatives to make it work.

nSam started working on a body suit. Since, the stomach is elastic in nature, Sam had to use a small knife made of Black meteorite sand to cut open it. This is the last product of the Black meteorite sand he made and he has nothing left of it now.

nAt least he made the first stage of his claw weapon, so he isn't that worried. After all, he is getting his hands on the meteorite sand sooner or later.

nAfter working for more than two days, Sam finally made his suit. It even has a mask covering all his face except his nose, mouth and eyes. But he doesn't like the colour of it for which he couldn't do anything about.

nNow, he has to prepare the devices for his motion and breathing.

nHe started taking all the ores he had and started thinking on which is more suitable for him.

nAnd the experiments began.

nOutside world, more than one week has passed and Jack didn't see Sam coming out of his room. Before going in Sam said only thing and that is not to disturb him no matted how many days he stays inside.

nBut he couldn't help but worried, even then he didn't dare to open the door on his own accord and one more thing that is bothering him is that Jasmine started to become restless.

nSince, she is just like a child, Jack didn't take any problem with her, but she is getting more and more anxious about Sam.

nHe just hoped that Sam would come out as soon as possible.

nAs if his prayers have been answered, Sam came out the very next day and when he saw Jasmine, he didn't know what to do at all.

nShe is just like a kid, she seemed to become extremely anxious and afraid as she didn't see Sam at all. If he left her and went on this sea expedition, he could imagine what could happen to her, so he has to make her feel less anxious.

nSo, the next day Sam took her to woods and let Ape and the panthers out, he introduced them and kept her company for the whole day.

nJust like a kid, Jasmine isn't afraid of dangers or beasts, she is only afraid of loneliness.

nBy evening, she is even running around with panthers and hugging the ape, the ape even gave her a piggy back which she seemed to enjoy a lot.

n

"I am going to go out, I will be back soon, you stay with them.

" Jasmine nodded happily and informed the situation to Jack.

nJack made a camp in the woods, so they can stay for few more days. Sam went back to the inn to make some preparations; he needs to move just before dawn to avoid other cultivators who goes to the indigo patch.

nSam made some final adjustments to the suit he made.

nNext day, Dawn.

nSam entered the sea on his hover board and as he moved towards the centre of the patch, the more he felt that concentration of the contamination is high.

nWhen he almost reached the centre, Sam took off his dress completely except for the underwear and took out his suit.

nThe suit is still in indigo colour, it is so tight that he has to struggle a lot to get into the suit.

nThe suit is completely tight and it is a bit translucent.

nOne can even see the outline of his muscles over his suit, if not for the fact that he felt completely warm due to the suit, he almost felt naked.

nBut there is something special about the suit and there is a solid bump on the suit at certain places and they are on his upper back, back of the fore arms, calves.

nThe bump is made of metal and is covered with the shark stomach.

nThere are numerous holes of one-inch diameter on the metallic bumps, all the bumps are made in such a way that they are in same shape as the muscle structure on the place they were set.

nThey are specially made energy cells Sam made and they are of wind element. The cylindrical holes are metallic tubes, he attached to the metallic frame that is attached to the energy cell. But they can't be seen clearly through the suit.

nAfter wearing the suit, Sam took out the mask he specially prepared.

nIt is also the breathing equipment, he specially made.

nThe mask is a helmet type, where he has to wear it over his head. There is a glass section over his eyes and a groove which let it sit on the nose bridge. The borders of the glasses are embedded with small light energy cells.

nBelow the nose bridge there are two pipes which will go into his nostrils although not too deep, just enough to act like plugs and these two pipes are connected to a space jade filled with oxygen.

nBelow these two pipes, there is a single pipe which entered his mouth and this is also not long at all it just barely touched the tip of his tongue.

nThis pipe is also connected to a space jade, but this one is empty and it is to exhale the air out.

nSam wore the mask and stored his hoverboard away, which made him fall into the indigo coloured sea.

nAfter he dived in, Sam started using the light energy cells and the light shot into the depths of sea, even though he cannot see to far distance, he can still see his surroundings.

nThen dived a bit deeper and started activating his wind energy cells.

nHe placed his hands backwards and the wind with high pressure was being discharged from his pipes, giving him the thrust to move around in the water.

nSam kept his head downwards and his feet up as he dived deeper and deeper.

nAround thirty minutes later, he is already hundreds of meters deep. Due to usage of energy cells, Sam didn't feel that tired, except he has to concentrate more and as he moved deeper, there are less and less creatures he can see.

nThe reason is the concentration of the toxicity is getting higher as he moved downwards. If Sam just used normal beast skin instead of the stomach sack of the shark, he would be in a big trouble, because, the corrosion resistance of the shark stomach is not something to be scoffed at.
