As Jon and Cecatly were discussing, the shoals of fishes outside were clearly dissatisfied with the boat's sudden slowing down.
And so, some of the fishes began attacking them.
Naturally, this level of attack could only be considered as harassment.
A slender, mutated eel had attempted to break through Jon's defence net three times in just two minutes.
But after a short while, Jon felt that he could hear the sound of something crashing against something again – after all, the sound was so clear that not even the sound of the raging storm could drown it out.
It sounded as though someone had broken a bone. It was a sound that could cause one's scalp to go numb.
But this time, Jon did not hear the sound.
"Did it … … run away?"
"It's dead."
Cecatly's voice came from behind him. At some unknown point in time, the temporary captain had left the cabin and was standing on the deck.
"Ah?"
Jon was stunned for a moment before quickly recollecting himself. "You are not in the cabin. Who is piloting the boat now?"
"Naturally, it's the old Captain. Under such circumstances, the more experienced ones should be piloting the boat. Me being there would only add to the mess. Earlier, when they were unable to find their way out, I had to be the one to take over. But now, it doesn't matter. We are already out. My strength should be more focused on defence and combat."
In other words, the death of the eel earlier was Cecatly's doing.
Jon sent out a line of water and searched for a bit. As expected, he found half of the eel's body in the water.
This was most likely caused by another fish. Perhaps Cecatly had controlled a fish that wasn't that weak to deal such a blow to the eel.
But it was this that allowed the thing that caused the damage to pass through the eel's body. From head to tail, it tore the fish apart completely.
"You're so fast."
It was rare for Cecatly to use such a violent method, which surprised Jon. Her method this time was extremely simple. She directly interfered with the mind and matter of one fish, and then let the fish help her kill another fish. It was a very ingenious method, and she had a very deep understanding of the nature of the mind and the physical world.
If he doesn't want to come out by himself, he'll have to send someone stronger. But look at him now. It would be strange if he really has powerful subordinates. Would a coward who hides in his own territory all year round really have powerful subordinates? "" That's right. That's right.
"Coward? This phrase is very suitable for the current situation, but it's not a good thing for us to be so cowardly. It's difficult for us to find out where it is through this reverse channel. Can this ship float on the sea for too long? "
"Don't worry. When I came out, I put enough fuel in the disc. I've already considered the situation you're talking about. If it's a battle of attrition, he might be able to catch us off guard. But if it's a battle of attrition, he won't be able to."
Cecatly's confidence wasn't blind.
Cecatly was Toth's descendant, and she had natural control over the Divine Artifact that Toth took away from Poseidon. No matter how long the Divine Artifact in the sea had been in possession of it for, it was only a temporary holder without a name. It would have been fine if Cecatly, the owner of the Divine Artifact, didn't come. But now that the owner was here, the possibility of the Divine Artifact being controlled by the Divine Artifact was much smaller. At the very least, there would be a tension between the two of them.
Once this tug of war was formed, it wouldn't be a problem for Cecatly. However, for the living being hiding in the ocean who couldn't see the light of day, all of his abilities would be greatly reduced.
And this was a good thing for Jon.
He had the force field created by this training method called "Poseidon." Whether it was the Wind Monitor or Poseidon, before Jon fused with them, they were very powerful ancient magic.
After fusing with them, although some modifications were made, this special structure allowed Jon to adapt to any place with air and water.
In fact, Jon was now very used to such an atmosphere. He narrowed his eyes and began to focus his mind. The lines of effect of the force field spread out from the ship, searching for what he was looking for in the sea and air. At the same time, he also established a connection with a large number of creatures in the sea.
As mentioned earlier, when Jon learned about the Weave, a large part of it was based on his force field structure. But compared to the Weave, which could process a lot of information in an instant, his own force field was more inclined towards combat and reconnaissance.
The so-called reconnaissance effect was that while ensuring his own safety, he could do his best to find flaws in the surrounding enemies.
And as long as he had a large number of samples in hand, it was actually very easy to find the common nature of one or a group of things.
Jon investigated the school of fish that shrouded the ship and discovered that the school of fish and the mutated fish with special statuses were more or less attached with some strange power that didn't belong to them.
Therefore, Jon attributed this power to the thing with the divine artifact hidden in the deep sea.
It was apparent that the thing with the divine artifact had turned these fish into its own surveillance probes. And what made its actions obvious was that it didn't place its modifications inside the fish's bodies.
It used a state similar to a cheat code.
It was as though the scientists of the Muggle world placed a surveillance camera on the fish in order to record the secrets of the deep sea.
It was more or less the same.
Therefore, even though this thing had never been exposed to a high-level magic environment and could only learn how to use its mysterious power from the Muggle world, it wasn't impossible to find some ways to use its power.
And for a powerful being, this method appeared to be very crude. At the very least, Jon could easily discover this strange method that it left behind. This parasitic form of external equipment wasn't difficult to understand.
In simple words, the thing with the divine artifact separated something from itself and scattered it in the sea. No matter how the fish obtained it, as long as they obtained it, they would naturally become the target of that thing's control.
