THE REBIRTH OF A GENIUS. CREATOR/DESTROYER

Chapter 266. Exploring the Island

Sam confirmed his suspicions.

There are some animals in this area.

Just one animal. But rather than calling it an animal, it was more suitable to call it a plant species.

It's called blue mucus algae.

Although it is called an algae, unlike other algae that do not need sunlight, it is actually quite disgusting.

This type of algae is a bit strange. The blue-colored mucus it released gave the illusion that it was very clear water.

But one couldn't be more wrong. It sticks to the rocks under the water and there will be some tendrils that will form on its surface.

These tendrils envelop any prey coming towards them and will suck up the meat. Right, they'll suck the flesh out bit by bit. There would only be bones left no matter the beast.

They are quite repulsive to light and heat. They could even face some monsters stronger than them if the numbers were many.

What scares them is that this thing will grow even if you put a small piece on the rock. To kill him, one must defeat him and destroy everything. No matter the type of attack they used, they had to deal with it once and for all.

Even if there was little left, then it would multiply rapidly until there was a gap in the rocky terrain.

Sam wanted to collect this as soon as he confirmed. It can be used as a perfect trap in the water and there is no need to find the right resources, this is like termites and grasshoppers, they can eat just about anything.

But for that he needs to do enough preparation, the level of this algae is determined by the extent of its expanse. Right now, Sam could confirm that they occupied at least ten square meters, which meant, they could devour a Great realm cultivator easily.

So, he needs to make a proper plan.

He left the place but he suddenly remembered something.

Murali said that every danger was a form of treasure for them.

Since this algae could be considered dangerous, he had to find a way to pass through it and see if there really was a treasure.

So, he had to make another plan.

One of the advantages of these algae is that they can be sure that there will be no wild animals in the nearby waters.

So, for the time being, they were safe within a hundred meter radius.

Now it's time for them to move forward. First, they should get used to the terrain as much as possible.

Sam climbs onto the roof of the tower and pulls out his telescope.

He tried to catch a glimpse of the position of the other tower and he really knew it.

The island is most likely rhombus-shaped. The four towers were at four corners.

And judging by what he saw from the telescope, his tower was at the end of a longer diagonal.

Because he could not see the tower straight ahead but he could see the two towers at two corners towards the left and right.

He wished he had one of those positions since he could monitor all four towers.

Now, he had a vague idea of how vast the island was and he could explore a number of territories without disturbing others.

Since all of this was a competition, it was impossible for them to be friendly with anyone else. There is a high probability that teammates may attack each other, let alone in the other team.

Sam decided how to proceed. He would avoid these people at all costs. He's got to do it. They would only appear when an inheritance appeared, otherwise, they would harvest some treasures or resources by finding a suitable place where there were no distractions.

The fewer meetings, the more likely it is for them to be safe. As Murali mentioned that the island was vulnerable to extreme danger, there was a high chance that a savage beast could be attracted by the smallest commotion.

So, it was better for them to avoid others.

In places and situations like this, one should have as much information as possible, and the more variables they control, the more benefits they have.

The first thing they had to do was explore the area and implement something Sam had planned.

So, the next time team five starts to move. As they walk in a certain direction, Sam and Watt move on a hoverboard to scout a certain area before returning.

Sam didn't want to take any chances. Shadow rats were small in size, but the things they could do with proper guidance could not be imagined.

Sam had divided the entire island into four equal parts and after three hours, they had not even completed one-sixth of the area under their tower.

Although there are some animals, there are no large habitats and absolutely no traps. But this area could still be considered somewhat dangerous if they were to travel alone. Since there was some point, they could be struck between two ferocious beasts.

Afterwards, as they moved forward, Sam and Watt saw no strange sight when they saw the expanse of land free from trees. This can be a great camping spot.

But once, Philip stepped on the ground, his feet sucked into the clear hard ground and ground before suddenly turning into a swamp of quicksand.

But this doesn't look like ordinary quicksand. Philip did not try to move much after the initial shock and Sam also quickly caught him as he stood in the omen.

Sam tried to pull Philip with all his might and used the omen's push, but there was extreme resistance.

"It looks like there's a vine-like thing encircling my feet, I think it's a living thing" Philip said in surprise.

Sam immediately nodded and said.

"Get your feet hot, don't let it hold you for long."

He increased his thrust to his full capacity and was finally able to pull Philip away.

They moved back to normal ground and Sam examined Philip's feet and in surprise, Philip held a small piece of red like a vine between his toes.

Philip smiled and said.

"We might get something out of it, right?"

Sam smiled and first cleared the mud from Philip's feet with the water element. After which, he carefully took the thing in his hand and carefully examined it.

The red object had some very small sharp protrusions on it, like a tiger's tongue. This thing could tear off a person's flesh, at least the skin if it wasn't strong enough. Fortunately, Philip was a warrior-mage with a good physique, so his damage was not high.

After ten minutes, Sam finally identified the object. It is not a vine, but a tongue. It was the tongue of an animal and was very strange.

This animal is called Swap Swallower. This thing was underground and the area above it would turn into a swamp.

He could feel vitality and if any living thing passed through him, then they would be in deep trouble. They will be swallowed into the swamp because the beast will devour them entirely.

The only weakness of the beast was that it did not want to move. It would only move when it was a baby and after growing a little, its speed would become very slow, so they would settle down after finding a suitable place.

This is a great natural trap.

Sam could only shake his head. This Murali man seemed to be too perverted. The way he set the trap was a bit strange.

Using a savage beast and a very unique group at that.

After which, they carefully crossed the entire area. Because, Sam had other plans for this place, so he had to look around so that he could utilize this environment to his advantage.

After some time, and changing direction, they finally found a habitat that was quite threatened.

The jade horned rhino. These rhinos travel in groups and despite their large size, they are very fast. The main thing is that although it is called Jade-horned, the entire body of the rhino can be transformed into a jade-like structure. Just like elemental fusion.

Although it was called Jade, it was only because of its appearance, in fact, they were stronger than most metals.

This rhinoceros skeleton was exactly like the skeleton of the golden-blooded tiger he had killed early in his journey in this world.

Sam and the others carefully avoided the rhino and went elsewhere.

They surrounded the entire section that Sam marked as their territory on the island until midnight.

Overall, the foundation around the six habitats, which had several Level 5 beasts inside, were seven different traps like swamp engulfment.

More than seven individual beasts were Level 5.

Over forty or so individual beasts at Level 4.

Of all these, one Level-5, beasts might even be able to face them.
