As soon as the sun rose, Sam and the rest went into the sea.

They didn't waste any time. Sam just has too many things to do and he has to stop Ramya from leaving this realm.

Raunak is a competent subordinate in this realm and he doesn't want to lose that guy because of his stupid love.

They stood on the seashore and Sam took out the breathing devices for the group.

He gave each one of them to the trio and they wore it with practiced ease. Sam has to put that on Galvin himself to demonstrate how this thing works.

Sam then wore one and all four of them jumped into the water.

Galvin was surprised to see the breathing device. This is completely unbelievable for him to breathe this easy. Even that flower that enabled them to stay for some time underwater, the breathing is a bit difficult and they have to make sure that they didn't splurge the air within.

Now he doesn't have to. Except for that weird enclosed feeling that was coming from the helmet, this thing is perfect for diving.

After they entered deep enough Sam took out the harpoon guns and gave one each to the trio. He didn't give one to Galvin and only made him just spectate.

Sam also took one harpoon gun in his hands and they started searching for the Emerald Tortoise.

Actually, it is not that hard to find. One of the reasons for that is its size. It is three times larger than an average beast of the same cultivation level and it is extremely active within the water.

It is a dangerous beast and it is extremely fast and it has an extreme instinct to hunt and eat. If only the same features applied to it when it was on land, then it would have been an apex predator in many ways. But unfortunately, it only has its invincible defense on the land and it becomes lazy with the sunlight.

In water, they go berserk. And they have many uses. Their shell is a natural material for a shield. It is crystalline in nature and has an extremely complex structure.

Apart from that shell which is hard to be made into some usable shield or armor, they have some accumulated crystal that can be collected and forged. Even though it is not as strong as the shell itself, it can still be used for some strong armors.

But the one thing that Sam wanted to hunt it is the taste of the meat.

The meat of this tortoise is said to be too delicious and it is an extremely luxurious food. But it is not easy to hunt and wasn't eaten that much. Except for the upper-echelons on top of this realm, no one can eat this often.

After searching for a while, they finally saw a tortoise at a distance and Sam got ready. The five of them swam towards the tortoise slowly without making much noise and Sam made the first move.

He aimed the harpoon gun and was about to shoot. But right at this moment, the tortoise moved like a flash and turned around.

It leaped towards the group with its mouth wide open as if it wanted to swallow them whole.

The five of them looked extremely small in front of it and they would definitely fit in its mouth together.

The five broke out and separated as they swam in different directions and got ready to attack.

Sam is gesturing to the trio and guiding them towards the direction he wanted them to be in.

Philip is the first one at work as he activated his metal and fire elements at the same time. He is like an attractive beacon creating a lot of steam and light within the sea.

The tortoise looked at him and made him the first target and at this exact second, Sam pulled the trigger from the side.

The harpoon lodged itself into the neck of the tortoise and it started bleeding. Since the harpoon doesn't have enough force to move this large gigantic tortoise around, Sam moved backward and soon the tension reached before the trap opened.

The blades of the spear tip cut open a large piece of flesh on that thick neck and came out.

The tortoise changed its direction and looked at Sam angrily while the blood dyed the sea.

As soon as it turned his head, Philip took the shot and made a similar hole on the other side and soon Jack and Watt followed.

They created holes on the neck as they slowly chipped the flesh away.

Soon the tortoise stopped focusing on attacking and went defensive. It nestled back into the shell completely and no flesh was out and this is the difficult part of the hunting.

Because these tortoises are made differently, the shell is also a bit different. There are retractable shields that can cover the holes of the limbs and head.

The shields are not actually the complete shield, rather it is a naturally created mesh with very fine holes that it would only allow air or water to go in.

Most attacks were blocked within that shell.

And that is not even the worst part of this defensive method.

A water current suddenly came out of that tortoise's shell. The current is so sharp that even after the group dodged it, the current went through the water and it cut through a large rock that was far away.

The team got a bit nervous as they knew what is going to happen. The tortoise suddenly became a submarine as it moved like that. The water jets from the limb holes made it hover while the water jet from the tail hole is making it move forward.

The water jet from the head hole is for attacking.

The tortoise started attacking, but it didn't do so for long, because the blood is still seeping out and it is on the neck of the tortoise. It cannot keep up this for long. So escaping became its main priority.

Sam then gestured the trio to follow the tortoise while he and Galvin swam to the surface.

"What are we doing here?"

"Nothing, it is time for me to demonstrate the next product. That is why I brought you to the surface."

Sam took out a flatfish puppet and climbed on it.

"Do you know how to use elemental fusion?"

Sam asked Galvin for which he nodded.

"Then try to keep up."

With that, Sam activated the transformation of the flatfish puppet and dove into the water. Galvin became a bit flustered and move after him.

He was surprised to see Sam going that fast and he can feel the energy waves which are extremely minute.

Soon, Sam caught up with the trio and gestured them to follow while he overtook them and neared the tortoise.

The tortoise is not at its top speed. The blood that is seeping out is too much.

Sam increased the speed with the puppet and soon reached his optimum distance as he observed the shell of the tortoise.

The tortoise might have a hard shell and the attack might not penetrate that hard shell and hit the body, and the holes of mesh might be fine and small. But so are the new harpoons of this puppet and with the trap activated, it would definitely hook onto the mesh.

But the main problem now is with the water jets. They are just too strong and the pressure is high.

Sam started attacking the tortoise with the water-type attacks.

He also started shooting water jets at it and he is not even looking to create damage, he is trying to throw the tortoise off balance.

Since the creature is huge, he can use that size against it.

And it worked. He unleashed a large water jet on the right side of the shell which made the water jets coming out of the limb holes to be unbalanced and the tortoise tried to keep the balance.

And for that, it has to manage the jets slowly regulating their speeds.

Sam took this chance to his advantage and shot the small harpoon into one of the limb holes on the left side as soon as the creature stopped those jets.

The harpoon didn't hook the first time. The mesh at the point of contact must be too fine. But Sam tried the same method again and again and on the fourth attempt, he finally found a place that could hook and he halted all his motions.

He used the puppet's jets to move in the opposite direction so that he can stop the tortoise from moving. Now it is just hovering in middle trying to move as it made sounds of agony.

Sam used all his energy to stop and control this tortoise as it tried to drag him away.

Galvin is the nearest person and he saw everything closely, while the trio tried their best to keep up and when the three of them arrived, the tortoise which sensed the upcoming threat decided to go all out.

The head, the limbs, and the tail all came out, but one limb was stuck.

Since the harpoon was stuck into the mesh when it was being retracted, it halting its motion and the mesh couldn't be opened anymore.

The leg was stuck like that and this created an imbalance from the tortoise. The trio took the chance and launched harpoon guns to the remaining legs while Sam used the second harpoon on the puppet to shoot through the same limb hole through the half-opened mesh into the leg.

The tortoise screamed caused a huge uproar but it couldn't move.

Sam gestured to Watt who is nearest to the head to finish this off.

Watt went to the eyes and shot the harpoon through it and finished the beast off.

Galvin who saw the whole hunt couldn't help but gulp at the new gadgets that are in Sam's hands.
