Chapter 588: Emergency Contract Garden Meeting!
Avi spoke with sureness, but behind that certainty was an indescribable sense of fear.
The strength of the Soul Wave Sea Mother had reached Diamond Rank, and its detection range beneath the sea was vast; the unidentified creature it detected was at least 30,000 meters in length.
However, 30,000 meters was just the detection limit of the Soul Wave Sea Mother and it didn't mean that the enormous creature was only 30,000 meters long!
It was very likely that 30,000 meters was just a tiny part of the creature's body.
Hearing this, the middle-aged man with a beard beside Avi suddenly scolded him.
"Avi, did you detect wrongly? How could such a massive being be lurking beneath this sea area? You must never spread such confusing statements!"
"There are many beings in the sea capable of hallucination. It's possible one of such sea beasts has taken control of you through your Soul Wave Sea Mother."
Avi had thought that Captain Han Nan would take his report seriously after receiving it, but he had never expected Han Nan to handle the matter with such an attitude!
As an officer accompanying the ship, Avi was trained against mental confusion, and indeed, there were sea beasts in the ocean specializing in disorienting the mind in both the Spirit Series and Soul System.
Even if Avi couldn't guarantee he wasn't under the control of these sea beasts, he could assure that he was aware when being controlled.
Han Nan's words were like questioning his capabilities!
Avi was eager to defend himself, but he didn't notice the flash of fear in Han Nan's eyes.
"Captain, I've undergone anti-confusion training, you..."
But Avi's words were cut off by Han Nan.
"Avi, the Sea of Domains' East District has been divided into nineteen areas by Lord Shuang Hua, and all these areas have been separated by barrier forces."
"If we really have such a huge creature in this sea area, wouldn't that be questioning Lord Shuang Hua?"
"This damned mission had to be conducted during the tidal unrest in the Sea of Domains, picking up these Outer Domain Spirits. We've lost so many brothers for the remains of these Outer Domain Spirits which contain highly polluting embryos. Could there be any unknown beneficial effects to these polluting embryos?"
Han Nan's explanation made Avi understand his stance.
Han Nan wasn't unwilling to believe his detection; he was no longer willing to support his own detection and did not want to offend Lord Shuang Hua.
After all, the mission for this team outing was already complete, the extraterrestrial embryos and living Outer Domain Spirits in the containers on the ships were enough to conclude their task.
Maybe doing less was indeed a better choice!
Avi hoped he wouldn't have to bring the fleet to this sea area next time they were assigned a mission.
Just as Avi was about to leave the control room to arrange for the crew to inspect the goods in the containers, the ship suddenly shook violently as if it had hit something.
Through the control room window, a thick fog could be seen rising over the sea surface and distant noises faintly entered Avi's ears.
A large part of these sounds was dispersed by the sea breeze, Avi and Han Nan hurriedly left the control room wanting to understand what was happening.
Han Nan's other deputy ran up, his face full of panic, forgetting even to salute Han Nan.
The deputy said in a panicked voice.
"Captain, all the cruiser sea beasts accompanying the ship have lost control. If it wasn't for these cruiser sea beasts being contractual creatures controlled by Beast Masters, they might all scatter!"
"There must be something beneath the sea for these cruiser sea beasts to be so panicked."
"And this fog came too suddenly; it's too foul-smelling to be naturally produced by the sea."
Han Nan had already realized the gravity of the situation, praying in his heart that this fog had nothing to do with the huge creature Avi had detected.
Otherwise, the remaining three Huge Wheels might also sink to the bottom of the sea!
Han Nan also owned a Guardian Beast with detection abilities, but his Guardian Beast was not good at scanning beneath the ocean.
Being a Flying Beast, its ability to detect the sea surface was still very strong.
When the two support wheels sank into the whirlpool, Han Nan saw a mysterious grey-yellow huge eye within the vortex.
This huge eye, primarily grey-yellow, was filled with red blood veins that wrapped around the eyeball like a net.
Both blurry and ferocious, the moment Han Nan detected these huge eyes, they clearly paused on him too, sending chills all over his body.
Han Nan wasn't sure if this huge eye belonged to the same giant creature that Avi had detected.
But one thing Han Nan could be certain of, due to the tide this time being dozens of times larger than before, the creatures from the other side of the Sea of Domains coming with the tide were likely not the small ones from previous years.
Humans had no dominion over the ocean, and even now, the classification of sea beasts remained unclear.
Han Nan always felt that the owner of the huge eye he saw wasn't an ordinary sea beast, and if it came from the other end of the Sea of Domains, that would be troubling!
Initially, Han Nan didn't want to stir trouble, but now he felt that it was necessary to report this matter.
Just as Han Nan had made up his mind, the millions of tons of the Huge Wheel started spinning like a top on the ocean.
As the fog cleared and the sea surface returned to calm, only some bits of debris were left floating and followed the ocean currents towards the distance.
