Chapter 1348 Discovery

"Mr. Master, the sea wolf cannot see the flock of birds above its head in the water. The school of fish is different. If it follows too closely, it may arouse the sea wolf's vigilance, but if it is too far away, it may lose its tracking target." Aurora looked worried and raised concerns.

Hearing what she said, Joan had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​summoning a school of fish, and instead thought about other safer tracking methods.

After being promoted to a level 7 mage, Joan mastered the 4th ring "Scry", and could use this spell to track sea wolves remotely.

However, the moment the "detection technique" is activated, the magic power will try to lock and track the target. If the opponent's perception is particularly keen and vigilant, they will be aware of it and guess that someone is casting a spell to detect themselves, which will expose the tracker instead. attempt.

In the attitude of being responsible to the team, Qiao An first clarified the issue that the "Scrying Technique" may expose the tracking attempt, and then asked for everyone's opinions.

"If everyone does not object, I will cast the 'Scrying Technique'."

There was a silence on board.

Except for Joan's proposal, everyone really couldn't think of a safer way to track them down.

"Medea, do you know how to cast 'Scry'?"

Aurora looked at the Gorgon sitting opposite her.

After Medea nodded, she went on to say: "Actually, I can also cast 'Scry', but my spellcasting level is the same as Joan's, so there is no advantage at all, and you are the highest spellcasting level among all of us. Wouldn't it be safer for you to cast the 'Scrying Technique'?"

Medea shook her head and smiled bitterly: "Whether the detection attempt will be seen through has little to do with the level of the spellcasting, but more depends on the level of the spellcasting attribute."

"Theoretically speaking, the mana of an 11th-level warlock is usually higher than that of a 7th-level mage. After all, there is a difference of four levels."

"However, Joan is a special case. His intelligence attribute is as high as 33, and his mana is much stronger than mine. It is more reliable for him to cast spells. Simple-minded gangsters like sea wolves are almost impossible to see through his spells." detection attempt."

"Wow! Is Mr. Mage so powerful?" Aurora widened her bright eyes in surprise, looked Joan up and down, and exclaimed, "I didn't expect that you are smarter than you look. The smartest human being I've ever seen!"

Joan twitched the corners of her mouth, not knowing whether she was praising herself or hurting herself. She didn't bother to pay attention to this female eagle who was a bit out of her mind, so she used the "photo mirror" that Aurora lent him as a spell-casting instrument , chanting the mantra in a low voice.

"Scry" is similar to "Appraisal" and belongs to "Ritual Spells", which requires a 10-minute spell-casting ceremony to activate.

"Apacenya!"

After finally completing the lengthy ceremony, Joan chanted the incantation to activate the spell, held up the mirror with his right hand, and lightly touched the mirror with his left hand, and then the mirror surface shone with silver light, showing ripples like water waves.

When the ripples on the mirror subsided, a figure resembling a seal appeared in the center of the mirror—it was the sea wolf that the birds had tracked before.

Everyone gathered around Joan, looking curiously at the figure in the mirror.

The sea wolf swung its fat and smooth body, and was struggling to swim in the depths of the sea. Every once in a while, it would quickly rise up, stick its canine-like head out of the water, gasp for air, then take a deep breath, and dive again.

"Huh? It turns out that sea wolves can't stay underwater all the time, they have to come out of the water to breathe after swimming for a while!" Ruby said to herself.

"Sea wolves are supernatural mammals, similar to dolphins and whales. Although they are aquatic creatures, they still have to rely on their lungs to breathe. The air in their lungs is limited. They can last for ten minutes at most, and then they have to surface to breathe fresh air. Otherwise, they will be drowned alive in the sea."

Joan spoke softly as a science popularization for the little lolita.

"Drown...hahahaha~"

Ruby, Medea, and Aurora couldn't help laughing out loud.

Qiao An looked at them blankly, thinking that she should have said something right? What's so funny about that?

However, the ladies kept laughing, thinking that the "sea wolf will be drowned in the sea" sounded very funny.

That sea wolf didn't even realize that he had been locked by the "Scrying Technique", let alone that he was the object of some people's ridicule, and just buried himself in the water.

The speedboat in the form of Kista kept a distance of half a nautical mile, and followed slowly.

Time passed slowly, the sun dipped to the west, and finally sank to the horizon.

Instead of the fiery red sun, a round of silver plate hangs high above the sea, sprinkles bright moonlight, and smears a layer of sparkling silver light on the vast and calm sea.

After an afternoon of tracking, the sea wolf finally arrived at its destination after seven o'clock in the evening. From the form of sea beasts back to the hybrid form of human wolf head, stepping on the tide to board a horseshoe-shaped coral atoll.

The speedboat that Joan and the others were on quietly approached the coral atoll under the cover of night.

For the sake of safety, Kista was just outside the atoll, facing the direction of the horseshoe-shaped opening, and stopped sailing. Somehow she used an anchor to anchor the ship, and she miraculously stopped on the choppy sea.

Joan sat on the bow, staring at the figure in the mirror.

The sea wolf turned into a human form walked quickly on the desolate island full of reefs. After walking for about ten minutes, it came to the lagoon in the center of the island, raised its head and waved its hands, as if greeting something, and then jumped into the lagoon. Dive quickly to the bottom.

At this moment, the mirror surface suddenly fluctuated violently, and the originally clear picture quickly became blurred until it completely faded and returned to the normal mirror surface. Under the light of the stars and the moon, Joan's own face was reflected.

"What's going on! The 'Scry' has been dispelled?!"

Aurora was shocked when she saw this.

Joan didn't make a sound, and now he is still not sure what happened just now.

Medea stood up, looked at the lagoon on the island, and said in a deep voice: "That lagoon is very strange, there must be more dangerous guys hiding in it than sea wolves! Aurora, are you familiar with the coral atoll opposite? "

"If I'm not mistaken, it should be 'Horseshoe Island', one of the hundreds of coral atolls in the Mermaid Islands. When the tide is high, the entire reef is almost submerged underwater. There is no fresh water on the island, no It is suitable for human survival, and there are no resources available for development. Since ancient times, it has been a barren land that no one cares about, and it is far away from the waterway, and most charts will not even mark it. "

Aurora sneered, and continued: "Horseshoe Island is hundreds of nautical miles away from our 'Eagle Island'. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe that the Seawolf Bandit chose such a place where birds don't lay eggs." A hell of a place to set up a base camp."
