From space, "Sea Paradise" looked like a huge deep blue sphere. The blue color looked a little eerie, and it felt as if a pair of deep eyes were staring at them and trying to awaken the fear in their hearts.
Just like what Mo Heng had told Silin, Sea Paradise did have a very strange magnetic field. Silin and the others could sense it when they were approaching the planet, and some of the instruments inside the spaceplane were flashing and popping up.
Under such circumstances, the Andriera Family's technology finally came into effect.
There were two sets of equipment on the spaceplane. One was for normal use, and it was about the same as the basic equipment on other starships and spaceplanes. The other was specially prepared for Sea Paradise.
After switching the equipment one by one, the spaceplane returned to normal.
"How is it? How do you feel?" Silin asked Czedow. As for Huimao, the way he was staring at the display screen was enough to tell that he was completely fine and in high spirits.
"It's fine. Although the magnetic field affects most machines, it doesn't affect us much. It's because we are individuals who can control ourselves, and those machines can't. However, the second set of instruments the Andriera Family has is very special. The machine language they speak is different from normal machines, and I can learn a lot from them, "Czedow replied.
"That's good." Since Czedow wasn't affected by the planet's unusual magnetic field, Silin was relieved. Czedow was a great help, and Silin would have to spend a lot of effort without him.
"Wheeze, don't act on your own when we enter the planet," Silin instructed.
"Mn mn." Wheeze didn't even look back as it crouched next to the giant display screen and watched the blue planet grow closer and closer. Its tail curled into an arc and swung back and forth. It was obvious that it was thinking of something again.
Silin pinched one of Huimao's ears and asked, "Did you really hear that?"
"Yes, I did!" Huimao promised.
"Silin, get ready. We're about to enter the planet," Faramir called out.
The blue light was getting closer and closer. The spaceplane was a little bumpy as it entered the atmosphere. The effect of the abnormal magnetic field was the strongest at this time, so it was normal for a spaceplane to be in such a situation. That was why Lung had told everyone to be prepared. Otherwise, if they were not careful, they would be tossed to god knows where.
The monitor in the control room showed the analysis of the outside environment by the instrument. The air composition was indeed not something that ordinary people could withstand. Even people with good physical fitness and A-rank genes might not be able to survive for more than half a day without the help of breathing equipment. As the entire planet was covered by the ocean, the humidity in the air was very high. Some of the ocean's surface would form a thin layer of clouds and fog. Aside from these thin layers of clouds and fog, Ocean Paradise's blue color was even deeper. Looking down from above, it looked like a boundless deep blue abyss.
The equipment had already been distributed, and now everyone was organizing and changing their equipment. Silin put on protective clothing and a breathing mask. The protective clothing was a product of the Andriera family's own invention. It was suitable for underwater activities, and its resistance to pressure was excellent. The protective clothing looked like a normal diving suit when it wasn't fully unfurled, but once it was unfurled in the ocean, one would realize that it was different from a normal diving suit.
"Eh? Czedow, don't you need to wear these? " Pascado and the others who were putting on the protective gear stared at the motionless Czedow in puzzlement. Even if they had to take off the protective gear and enter the adaptation period after landing, they couldn't just not put it on right now. No one could guarantee that they would be able to land safely later, and if things didn't go smoothly, they wouldn't have the time to adapt once they rushed out.
"I don't need it," Czedow replied.
Pascado and the others wore strange looks on their faces. "Are you not a normal human, but someone who lives in the water?"
Czedow shook his head, but he didn't explain in detail.
One of them shot Czedow a glance before pointing at Huimao who was stretching his fat body. "Aren't you guys wearing some kind of protective gear? The atmosphere outside isn't like that of a habitable planet. "
Huimao flicked his ears. "No need, I'm not like you guys."
Why did these words sound like they were filled with a strong sense of contempt?
Pascado and the others, who were not convinced, loosened their breathing masks and said, "Actually, we don't have to wear these. We can also throw away our breathing masks when we really enter the water. Why don't we have a competition then?"
"Alright, there's no time for you to move around when the time comes." Lung patted his friends after putting on the protective gear.
If they hadn't obtained the star map before, Lung might've allowed them to move around freely. But now that they knew the location of the Tear of God, they had to put all their energy into searching for it.
Pascado and the others calmed down a lot after Lung's declaration. However, they were puzzled by something. Something was wrong with Lung. He looked a lot more serious than they had imagined. Could he be nervous?
"Have you finished scanning the map yet?" Lung asked.
The Andriera Family had several global maps of Ocean Paradise, but due to the uniqueness of the place, they would always get a different map every time they sent a team to Ocean Paradise. Lung had a map from ten years ago that showed three relatively large coral reefs, but all of them had sunk a lot due to the movement of the earth's crust. Therefore, they had to scan the map again every time they came here.
Although the second set of equipment could withstand the abnormal magnetic field, it was accompanied by a much slower calculation speed. It took almost twenty minutes to scan and draw the map. If it were in a normal environment, it would've taken less than a minute to get a fairly accurate map.
"Young master, there's a atoll near the coordinates you've given us. It's not big, about a kilometer in diameter, and there's a warm current passing through it. The salinity of the seawater is high, and I'm afraid that a few species of fish and sea beasts will appear there on a large scale."
Lung pondered over his next plan while listening to his subordinate's report. The old man's previous plan definitely couldn't be used, and the coordinates that Lung had given them were not the ones they had planned beforehand. Therefore, it would be a problem for them to land and rest there.
There was only one atoll in the sea around the place that the star map was pointing at. Perhaps this atoll was already very big in the eyes of many people, but for Lung and the others, this atoll was still too small. This was because they had to take into account the sea beasts that lived on the atoll and the surrounding fishes.
Just like many large animals on land, the coral reefs were also filled with the territories of all kinds of sea beasts. Those ferocious fellows were not willing to give up even the slightest bit of their territory. Moreover, there were no real land plates other than the coral reefs in Ocean Paradise. Therefore, every coral reef was a battlefield, and battles for territory were happening at every moment.
Looking at the analysis map of that atoll, Lung said, "The spaceplane definitely can't land."
The image displayed on the scanner made Lung think of many things. People like them only needed a glance to determine the approximate distribution of the population on the coral reefs, as well as the approximate territory of the sea beasts in each area. Moreover, the sea beasts of Ocean Paradise were different from the sea beasts of other planets. These sea beasts were very difficult to tame, and the tamers needed a period of adaptation before they could gradually display their usefulness. Therefore, it was not a good idea to use the advantages of a tamer to deal with these sea beasts.
Currently, there were places on the atoll that were filled with small groups of sea beasts lying on their stomachs, basking in the sun, while there were other places that looked empty, but not a single small sea beast dared to set foot there. That was because those places were the territory of some big guy, and anyone who went there would be courting death.
In order to clear out a place to rest, it would be better to start with the small groups of sea beasts.
Lung was just about to order his subordinates to use their weapons to clear out a place when Huimao jumped onto Silin's shoulder and looked at Lung. "I'll go. I'll clean up those little bugs."
Little bugs?
A few of Lung's subordinates had strange expressions on their faces.
Those so-called little bugs, even if they were young sea beasts, were more than half a meter long. Moreover, they all had hard outer armor, sharp claws, and razor-sharp teeth. They were definitely not gentle beasts. Moreover, compared to the fat cat in front of them, those "little bugs" could practically be elevated to the level of giant beasts.
Perhaps Pascado was a little afraid of Huimao because of what happened in the past, but none of them had really seen Huimao's great abilities before. When they were communicating earlier, Huimao did not make a move either. Therefore, some people wanted to laugh at Huimao's words.
"Hey, little fat cat, although the little bugs over there look so small," that person used his thumb and forefinger to make a sesame seed size gesture, then used his two arms to make a meter long gesture, "in reality, they are at least this big!"
Huimao looked at the person who spoke with disdain, and said to Silin, "Uncultured people are so pitiful."
"…"
That person still wanted to argue, but was stopped by Lung.
"Silin, what do you think?" Lung asked.
Silin twisted the hair on the back of the fat cat's neck in front of him, "Are you confident?"
"Absolutely!"
"Can you control the situation?"
"Absolutely!"
Silin looked at Huimao suspiciously, and only let go when Huimao raised his paw and swore.
It was not that Silin did not believe in Huimao's ability, but he understood Huimao's ability too well, and this guy's habit of getting carried away when he was excited. There were a lot of sea beasts on the atoll, now they just needed to clear a place for them to rest. If they made too much of a commotion, it would definitely cause a chain reaction, and sea beasts from other places might come over to join in the fun. That was not what Silin wanted to see. After all, there were only a few people here, and not a large hunting team.
Lung also told Huimao about the action plan and the reward for Huimao if they successfully cleared the area, which made Huimao value this task a lot more.
"Wheeze, I'll leave it to you to clear the area!"
"Don't worry, remember what you said about the reward!" Huimao clenched his paw, and was eager to try.
"Then should I lower the aircraft a little?" someone asked.
"No need."
As soon as Silin opened the cabin door, Huimao shot out like an arrow from a bow, and the others saw through the image displayed on the screen that Huimao that shot out spread its wings in the air, and flew towards the atoll with a loud flap.
"I … Damn! Are those wings? Are those wings? That cat actually has wings! "
Pascado and the others looked at the image displayed on the screen as if it was a miracle.
Celine was also looking at the screen. However, he was prepared at all times. If the cat got carried away by its success later, he would have to remind it.
There was a place on the atoll where some small sea beasts were lying densely, and not far away, there were some plants that were 20 to 30 meters tall, and it looked like a small jungle. This small jungle was the boundary between the two territories.
Huimao's task was to clear the small jungle near the group of small sea beasts, as well as part of the coral reef area around it.
The small sea beasts that were lying on the coral reef and basking in the sun were huddled together, some of them were fighting, and some of them were squinting their eyes and straightening their backs to absorb the sunlight, looking very comfortable. Their sharp claws moved from time to time, and they left thin marks on the coral reef below.
The coral reef in Ocean Paradise was a few times harder than normal coral reefs, so if it was a normal coral reef, these sea beasts would probably be as easy as scratching carrots.
The sea beast lying at the highest point suddenly opened its eyes and looked at the sky above. There was a shadow getting closer and closer, and it could also feel that the other party was looking at it with an unfriendly gaze. This feeling made it very uncomfortable, so it moved its back to its fullest, making it look twice as big as it was before.
This sea beast let out a low, warning growl from its throat, causing the surrounding sea beasts to raise their heads one after another. After seeing the person in the sky, they also let out a series of warning sounds. Even if it was a weakling that they thought was beneath them, they would still let out an absolute warning sound.
Therefore, before Huimao flew there, the sea beasts in that area all let out a low warning sound. Along with these warning sounds, the big mouths full of sharp teeth that were still guarding the door opened, and they were waiting for the next food.
Huimao's eyes became brighter and brighter, and it sped up. When it was nearly 10 meters away from the coral reef, Huimao retracted its wings and plunged into the group of sea beasts.
Then, a huge mouth that looked like that of a cat appeared in the group of sea beasts, and it was only a huge mouth that could be seen.
This huge mouth swallowed the sea beasts one after another, and the first one to be swallowed was the one that was originally lying at the highest point. Before it could even wave its claws, it was swallowed by Huimao's huge mouth, and it didn't even have time to squeak.
In the aircraft in the air, in front of the display screen, Pascado and the others were shocked at first, but then they fell silent. They suddenly realized that this cat was not as harmless as it looked. Moreover, this cat's appetite was really huge!
In less than half a minute, with Huimao's landing point as the center, all the sea beasts within a radius of 10 meters were swallowed, and not a single one was left. As for the rest of the small sea beasts, they had already fled when they saw that the situation was not good.
Huimao symbolically chased a few steps, and drove away the remaining sea beasts that were still lingering around, unwilling to leave. So, Pascado and the others saw this scene again — a chubby little Huimao chased a group of sea beasts that were much larger than it, and they hurriedly jumped into the sea to escape.
After clearing a satisfactory area, Huimao jumped to the highest point, and told Silin and the others that they could land. After that, it tilted its head and scratched its ears with its hind legs, yawned, and lay there lazily, licking its paws and wiping its face.
The people in the aircraft, including Ying Weiji, who had always been serious, looked at Silin with very envious eyes. After all, it was really a very happy thing to have such a pet. Look, it took a lot of effort for them to do this, but a cat was able to do it.
When dealing with sea beasts, people would at most hunt them down, but Huimao just swallowed them directly, and from the very beginning, it had established itself as a high-ranking predator in the food chain. The Beast Race had their own way of solving problems, so everything that Huimao did was surprisingly effective, and the effect was much better than when Lung and the others used force.
"Let's go, we can go down now," Silin said to the others.
A slightly smaller aircraft flew out from the original aircraft. This smaller aircraft was the flying tool that Silin and the others used to fly on the surface of the sea, and it was also a navigation tool in the sea. This aircraft could dive deep into the sea.
People had heard of the flying vehicle, but not many people knew about the tri-amphibious aircraft. The tri-amphibious aircraft were extremely expensive to build. They could dive deep into the sea as a submarine, travel between Star Zones as a normal aircraft, and even run on land as a small mobile base.
The cost of the one that Lung and the others were piloting right now was even higher. A tri-amphibious aircraft that could resist the abnormal magnetic field was extremely rare.
This tri-amphibious aircraft landed in the coral reef area that Huimao had cleared out. There was still a group of sea beasts wandering around in the area, paying attention to the movements of Silin and the others. Their two front claws moved forward a little, but they pulled back in the next moment. Huimao bared his teeth in that direction, and the sea beasts hurriedly jumped into the sea and ran away.
"Let's rest here for a bit, and let our bodies adapt to the environment here," Lung said.
After using the apparatus to measure the surrounding environment, Lung took off his mask and the protective suit he was wearing. He slowly stretched his body and moved his limbs.
Silin had always known that Lung wasn't a normal human, but he didn't expect him to be able to endure in this kind of atmospheric environment.
"This is the advantage of people like us. We have a sense of familiarity with the environment of the sea. Although it's a little difficult here, we'll get used to it after a while," Lung said.
After Lung, the rest of the group also took off their masks one after another. However, two of them put them on every once in a while. Their ability to adapt to this kind of atmospheric environment wasn't as good as the others.
Silin also gave it a try. It was true that he wasn't used to this kind of atmospheric environment, but it was fine. He endured it a little longer than the average person, and it would definitely take him a lot more time to adapt to it completely than Lung and the others.
Huimao couldn't stay idle after a while. It jumped left and right, and even searched for some sea beast eggs on the coral reefs for a change of pace. Silin allowed it to do whatever it wanted as long as it didn't provoke other sea beasts on its own. Czedow was collecting some data and recording the unusual scenery around them.
Silin took off his protective suit and felt the different air pressure in the air. Then, he started moving his limbs just like Lung and the others. This was the advantage of his constitution. A normal person's blood vessels would've burst already.
Silin was stretching his legs when he heard a cat's meow from the forest.
"Oh my meow, there's a treasure!"
