Re-Birth Of A Genius. Creator/Destroyer Chapter 767: Collecting Info

Sam looked at the battle for hours and middle of that battle, he sensed that people in the houses are coming out and getting ready for the battle.

He hid himself carefully and looked at the situation. These people joined the battlefield while some of the injured soldiers came back and started their recovery.

The transcendent stage cultivators are constantly engaging themselves.

The battle is mostly defensive and soldiers are mostly trying to consistently last long. The creatures from the sea are continuously focused on killing without a single care for their lives. Even those blue humanoids are reckless.

There are some of those blue humanoids that are dead and there is a lot of navy blue colored blood coming out of their bodies.

After understanding the situation, Sam backed off and went back into the forest and started another journey. He travelled through the night and went to next base near the sea sh.o.r.e. Even though the place between also has a sh.o.r.e, the sh.o.r.e is not exactly good for travelling and most of it is covered with large cliffs at the edge of the sea or the forests with dangerous beasts occupying it.

These bases are the only penetration points for these sea creatures.

Sam reached the next base by dawn and checked the sh.o.r.e from a far.

The battle is in its last stages as the sea creatures are retreating slowly. But on their way back, they are collecting all the dead bodies on the ground. They are dragging the dead bodies as if their life depended on it and disappeared into the sea by the time sun rose on the horizon.

Sam didn't want to stay at this second base. It is relatively smaller than the first one and has limited advantages for him to scout and there would be limited information as only one Transcendent cultivator is here and another is staying in the forest as a backup.

These transcendent stage cultivators are extremely vigilant that Sam had to use some extra beasts he has to divert them and escape.

He was almost caught even with the help of the shadow mice as the beasts that are left there to keep guard has a certain level of natural expertise in detection abilities and their cultivation levels are higher than that of the shadow mice. A beast with such clear instincts is not easy to fool even with the shadow forms.

Shadow mice can escape for certain, but it couldn't hide and if it is only beasts that would be okay, but since there people on the beasts that could possibly have contracts with the beasts, the whole situation would be a mess if they diverted their attention.

Sam carefully slipped past them and travelled to the next sh.o.r.e and for the next two days, he repeated the process to see what is happening in different bases and finally he decided on one base as the infiltration point.

For some reason, the creatures are not attacking in the morning, they are leaving by the sun rise and staying under the sea.

That is the time when base is most vigilant. The whole day time, there would be more people within the base with few people standing defense at the post.

In normal cases that would be hard to cross. But after the sun sets, the sea is in chaos while the base is a bit lax. Even if he could cross the base, he wouldn't be able to reach the sea.

Sam has two objectives now. One is to get as much information as possible from the bases and also enter the sea.

The information in bases is not at all doc.u.mented and even if there are some doc.u.ments like maps, formations and such, everything is within the hands of the commanding officers or in other words the transcendent stage cultivators.

He thought of all the obstacles and how to overcome them, the easiest way is to kidnap a guy from the base and interrogate him but there is a great chance that he would be caught.

The second way is to kill a person and do the soul search which would obviously give him more details but would be easily exposed.

The third way is to investigate slowly and put piece and piece together until he gets the answers he needs, which will take a long time.

Another night pa.s.sed as Sam witnessed the battle at the current base he was in.

This is the most dangerous and most populated base here. There are a total eight Transcendent stage cultivators and around ten thousand soldiers and the attacks are also highest as the sea sh.o.r.e is also the widest.

This is the place that should have most information and there is also another advantage, there is a cliff near the base that leads to the sea sh.o.r.e.

Even though Sam could cover most of the distance to the sea through this, the cliff edge cuts of at the beach instead of water which will lay him bare by the time he reached the end.

Sam did have one plausible solution with small variable that has to rectified, let the shadow mouse take him to water from the edge of cliff which is a short distance and as soon as it entered the water, Sam should just exchange the position with the mouse, but that would easily be spotted. He is looking of a way around it.

Currently, Sam is using this place as a platform to watch the battle sneakily.

That night the battle is more intense than ever and when Sam saw the bodies that are piling up, he had another idea.

In the middle of the chaotic battle, Sam let the specter out. Specters are simply put souls that became ghosts, they have an innate ability to become invisible and the Specter Sam had is of a higher grade with all the soul energy he fed.

He sent the specter in the battle field stealthily, if the specter used its energy in large scale and made large movements, some soldiers too much of accurate senses and instincts can feel something is off.

The Specter went to the nearest elven corpse of the Centaur that was killed just now and entered the dead body.

The specters have a way to possess the bodies, but the dead bodies are not that useful, it can only possess it for a small while until the last remaining bit of vitality was completely gone.

But that is enough for the specter.

It performed the soul necromancy on the dead body from within to perform the soul search all by itself.

But the energy fluctuations couldn't escape the surrounding soldiers.

Within the surrounding ten feet every creature stopped and looked at the centaur body.

Both the parties halted their attacks within the ten-foot radius and stared at the corpse that was surrounded with the death energy. They didn't know what is happening and they don't know how to react.

Both parties exchanged glances and understood they are as surprised as others. The death energy is riling up and at this moment, they two parties wanted to poke the corpse.

Sam is watching it through the telescope and with added energy vision and his experience with the soul necromancy he could guess the time.

At this moment, Sam made another move, he took out a four-eyed raven and attached a small grenade to its feet.

The raven flew to the sea like a jet of black streak which is invisible in the night and dropped the grenade in the sea. It made its return as fast as it can.

*BOOM*

*SPLASH*

The explosion happened with a jet of water splas.h.i.+ng all over and the sea creatures looked surprised.

The distraction worked as the people who surrounded the centaur corpse also left the corpse alone and looked at the sea.

The specter took advantage of the situation and escaped.

For some reason due to the sudden explosion the sea creatures gave signals and started retreating earlier.

The soldiers didn't follow up with the attack and instead looked at the centaur that is dead and tried to examine the differences that happened. They are also curious about what happened in the sea, but they didn't care as much as they cared about the centaur's body.

But after constant examination they couldn't find anything. It is just a normal dead body.

There is nothing they could see and they just buried them normally thanking whatever anomaly that happened in the sea has saved them the deaths that could have happened through the night.

They had an extremely rare and almost impossible-to-have free night and all they did was have bonfires by the beach and enjoy the moon and wine as they heaved a sigh of exhaustion and fatigue.

Meanwhile, Sam who is on top of the cliff laying down and looking at the same moon is going through the memories the specter has brought with him.

There is a lot of information that Sam is stunned for minutes without any reaction.

The war is more intriguing and exciting than he thought and he could find great many opportunities just from the information he had in his hands, but he also has to find a way to get the information from the other side, the sea before deciding.
