THE REBIRTH OF A GENIUS. CREATOR/DESTROYER

Chapter 592. Fighting For The Lotus

"What are you doing here?" Yodha asked as soon as she approached Sam.

"Is this why I came here?" sam said while pointing to the Lake.

"For the lake?"

"No, to the Magma Lotus." When Yodha heard that, she was stunned for a moment before asking.

"How did you know that?"

"I didn't know until now" Sam said as he shrugged.

Yodha also chuckled and said.

"That's gonna be hard. The lake was filled with many Lava Slime and only Pre-transcendent stage cultivators came here.

The information about the plants inside the Lake and even about the lake is completely confidential, I don't even know how you know about it. But I'll be hard for you to get into the lake let alone get a lotus. After all, all the other plants have many units within the lake but there will only be one lotus."

"Why are you so much information? It's almost like you come here often or if it's your backyard. How do you know that there is only one lotus?"

“We have maps and info from previous expeditions and this is general information. In fact, a six-nation team came just for this. Almost like a farmer claiming a harvest. Each time, only a handful of people came here individually and they would not get much either. That's why they don't bother you."

"What are you chasing?"

Sam asked casually.

“Actually all six teams are chasing the same thing, the main goal is lotus. And only one of each team will go after him, the rest will go after the slime. They are actually a great fertilizer for the fire element.the herbs and every year the imperial garden uses them.

Potion experts from the imperial palace even found a good method to refine it properly.

So, we have to collect slimes from monsters after killing them."

"As far as I know it is difficult to preserve it. If you don't collect the slime in a split second as soon as you hit the bottom line, the slime will die with the core. Good luck." said Sam with a smile.

He was not so interested in slimes, they did have some uses, but not until he wanted to fight for them. If he wanted to, he could grow it and harvest this slime constantly, he would not even need to kill.

But after thinking like that, he suddenly felt that it was not too bad to capture some of them alive and cultivate them.

He stopped his thoughts, he looked at Yodha and asked.

"What are you waiting for?"

"They waited for the Mov empire and the Flavos imperial team. Flavos got in trouble and we helped them there and we arrived late. And the actual extraction will only happen on the twentieth day.

After all, it only took ten days to return to the entrance, so we would wait for some individual cultivators to come and the team to recruit them to harvest the slime and other flowers. While the leaders went to Lotus.

You want to join?"

"No need, I don't want any relationship with the Mov empire, as your leader said. But tell him to stay away from me, when I extract the lotus. I can't guarantee anyone's safety."

"Are you so confident?"

"You haven't seen half of me. You'll understand why I said that soon."

With that, Sam smiled and started using his eye technique along with the light element to zoom in and look at the lake. Thermal vision will not work and in fact, it will blind his eyes. But the light element can.

He tried to change the frequency of the light to see if he could catch a glimpse of the lake while talking to Yodha.

He got a blurred look at one point and he tried the nearby frequencies and after several tries, he was able to get an almost incomprehensible image. And that is also because of the precision of eye techniques in distinguishing energy waves.

He decided to call this method a vision of energy. It is very similar to thermal vision but the only difference is that it shows the density of spiritual energy, not temperature.

And in this energy vision, he could vaguely decipher the plant energy on the surface of the lake and the mucus beneath the surface of the lake, he said, but what surprised him was that there were three energies that showed some very high readings and there was a faint forward energy and that was simply because it was too far out of reach.

ask Yodha.

"What's going on?"

"You better be prepared. If you really only send one Pre-transcendent to that place, you will get in serious trouble."

"Whatchu mean? What problems?" I don't know exactly what it is, but I think it's better to be careful."

Sam didn't say anything else. Because two of those four energies don't belong to Slime. Although he was not familiar with slimes and energy visions, there were too many slimes to compare and he was quite sure that the two were not slimes.

"Do you know if there are other creatures besides the Slime?" Sam asked for confirmation.

"No. Slime is the only one who lives here. Why?"

"none. But I think you should be really careful. If something happens, do not go straight to the lotus. Wait two to three minutes and then move."

Sam just left these words and said nothing more. He decided to move on after the team did.

He just sat on a nearby rock and meditated while trying the ripple style.

The days passed and the influx of individual cultivators stopped only on the eighteenth day. No one came in on the nineteenth and the team had already started recruiting.

But Sam sees some familiar faces here.

They were Akhil and another man from the Usaine sect. He is also a player. Other than the Arkiv, there were two players in the Usaine sect due to their diverse expert nature and the magnitude of influence they had. He heard from the Arkiv that they fled to another great power before the attack.

It was also because of Sam's warning to the Arkiv who gave it to them.

This person was a strong fire element user and he was the only one who did not have to use external means and pills to stay here even though he was a newborn stage cultivator.

He and Akhil seem to have gathered and the other candidates are nowhere to be seen. After all not everyone has the same freedom as Sam here. Some players even waited for the three-year time period to end to escape their current situation.

They did get a chance at the Inheritance Palace and they had some benefits from the Imperial family, but they lost their freedom and could not go to an event like this.

Both players are really focused on Sam.

Sam smiled at them once.

Finally, the time has come to storm the lake and each team is preparing with new recruits joining them in the last few days.

As they all walked towards the lake, the Lava slime also slowly rose in the pond. The light dimmed a little. They can only use that luminous effect fully when they are actually inside the lava. If not, the effect will decrease.

The ferocious beasts did not come to attack directly, they were still inside the lake and only a small portion of them appeared on the surface. If one were to see them for the first time like this, they would think that the level of Lava rose in this lake.

Sam also walked after all the teams advanced and both players followed suit.

They were not particularly interested in the lake treasures, at least one of them. But stopping Sam is more important to them.

The team took several metal rafts and placed them in the Lake. They seem to be made from special alloys. Sam still did not move and the slime did not move either.

Only after they entered a few meters into the lake did the lava slime finally react. They sprung up and started firing Lava from their mouths.

People also started to dodge and the leaders of the six teams only had one thing on their minds, they did not even bother to dodge and let their subordinates block them. After all, there wasn't much space on the raft, so all they could do was block most and only a few people could dodge.

But the situation soon changed, team members began throwing rafts after rafts into the pool.

And jumped at them, so they could have more battle space.

As for why they did not use some fire-type beasts, they tried but to no avail. Of course, they were able to dodge attacks on beasts, but slimes could not be killed with spells and long-range attacks easily. They had to do close combat to be efficient, if they focused on flying-type beasts, they would be shot down and they would not be able to react due to Lava's natural cover to slime.

As for normal beasts, they would die as soon as they entered Lava.
