final preparations

After 6 days. A golem with spikes all over its body like a porcupine could be seen walking towards the burrow.

It held a big long stone spear in one of its hands, two stone knives were attached to the back of the stone belt on it's waist.

As soon as it entered the burrow it started fighting with the King Cobra.

  the spikes have stopped the snake from directly attacking or coiling around the golem.

  But the snake was also intelligent. It got hold of the golem's weakness. 

The biggest weakness of the golem was it's movement speed, golems were rigid by nature and their movements mechanical . 

The snake could easily keep its distance and spray poison non stop.

Even though the golem was slow it has improved much, if the first golem was a newborn baby who could only move its hand and leg laying down. 

Now it could crawl on its four legs.

  The speed has not improved much but its movements were becoming much more natural.

The golem used a falling like motion, using gravity to improve its speed thrusting the spear towards the snake.

  The snake was still able to dodge, but this was the moment Sam has been waiting for. 

The golem released the spear from its hands and using the momentum that it gained from falling,

  It did a forward roll on the ground and closed the distance between the snake.

  Then usheathing the two knives from its back a heavy stab was delivered to the snake ...

An Earth shattering shrill was heard, as the snake used its tail to lash at the golem with full force.

The golem was thrown back like a cannon that was fired, it hit the walls of the cave and started to break down.

  The snake was really angry, it went towards the golem and pummeled it to pieces .

Then it went back and laid down ,the stone knives were slowly pushed out of its body.

  As it was giving out pain full shrills , the knife was completely pushed out.

  Green light came out of the wounds and stated healing the wounds, within five minutes the wounds were completely healed.

  But the snake was giving out painful cries as it spat out the green jade.

This was the second time Sam had noticed this phenomena.

He came to the conclusion that this green jade was something that opposed the black smoke and had great healing ability.

But every time the snake used the jade to heal, it was in great pain due to the nature of the green jade and the snake being opposite.

The Snake was born in the black smoke and used the smoke to grow and the green jade was of opposite nature.

  But this was not the real reason why the snake treasured the green jade, it was because the aura emitted by the green jade made the snake more intelligent. 

Unlike the other snakes and beasts that lived in the black and red smoke.

The king cobra was more cunning and intelligent. 

The Black and red smoke gave the beasts more strength and ferocity. 

But at the same time it made them muddle headed bloodthirsty monsters without much reasoning. 

This was where the green jade came in , it cleared the Cobras head from madness and made it more intelligent .

Sam thought " I have collected all the data I needed, the day after tomorrow is the day.  I need to complete the preparations .."

As he walked back towards the fire mountain , a small two roomed house made of stone could be seen near the fire mountain.

  Outside the house a golem was standing perfectly erect, but unlike the other golems this one looked more like a muscular man.

  It wore a full dark brown armor with spikes protruding out. 

The armor was made in a crude manner without much elegance.

The armor has been the result of his hard work for the past few days. 

He created earthen molds using earth control and melted the metal ore that was found from the earth mountain  using the fire mountain, resulting in the current crude looking armor .

As he entered the house, there were four more earthen molds inside the room.

  The four molds were of a long spear ,  heavy blade , a shield and a big gourd . 

He went near the molds and broke it , two pitch black weapons and two dark brown equipment came out of the molds. 

The spear and heavy blade were pitch black in color, While the shield and gourd were dark brown .

These were no fancy weapons and equipment, but crude and practical ones. 

The Full Armour, the big gourd and shield were forged from the brown metal ore.

  While the spear and Blade from the black metal ore. 

He searched the whole earth mountain to find all the ore to create these weapons.

  He also found a big load of earth crystals inside the mountain while searching. 

He could not excavate the whole crystal load, so after excavating the maximum amount that he could carry he stopped mining further.

The brown ore was more abundant than the black ore. He utilized almost all the ores he had gained to create the equipment.

  Only a small piece of the black ore remained, which he used as a whetstone to sharpen the weapons and fine tune the other equipment .

He had also found an interesting thing about the brown ore, which was that he could utilize the earth crystal energy to form a force field around the brown ore .

  For this same reason he added many sockets inside the armor and shields.

Earth crystals were inserted into these sockets so that in an emergency he could utilize it to form a big energy shield.

After breaking the molds, he started sharpening the weapons... 

After about 8 hours, he wore the Armored golem like a big iron man suit. 

He started moving around in the golem, even though he was fast considering the remote controlled golem. The speed was still lacking compared to his original speed.

All of a sudden the golem disappeared and appeared about 10 meters from where it was standing before. 

This was one of the techniques that he created after gaining inspiration, from eating the fruit.

The technique was named Earth skipping technique.

He used a large amount of energy on the sole to step on the earth and with the help of his connection with the earth he got double the energy as rebound.

Utilizing the rebound he could move real fast.

  This made him seem as if he had disappeared from where he stood.

  The technique also had the another advantage of improving his attacking momentum. 

The technique was similar to skipping a stone over the water, so he named it Earth skipping technique.
