Taming Beasts to Survive: I Can See the Prompts

Chapter 229: Mcgee’s Conjecture

The weather at sea was unpredictable. It was sunny just a moment ago, but in the blink of an eye, dark clouds covered the sky and the waves surged.

“A storm is coming.” Mcgee nudged the Giant Diving Crocodile. “Can you help stabilize the boat?”

The boat swayed back and forth and was almost overturned by the waves several times.

“Please, I’m a freshwater creature.” The Giant Diving Crocodile replied lazily.

Its cerebellum was not developed, so it could not feel the dizziness caused by the violent shaking of the ship.

Fortunately, it was not dangerous, and the mad dog waves did not tear their ship apart.

The sailing plan that the pirates had designed for Mcgee was the result of their years of drifting experience.

As long as Mcgee did not deviate from the sailing route and did not encounter strong convective weather, the chances of capsizing the ship were not high.

Qi Wei and the Demon Fox, who have been following behind Mcgee, felt uncomfortable. They only followed behind Mcgee’s ship and were not able to completely follow their trajectory.

In the end, the Demon Fox used the space-splitting slash and forcefully cut a hole in the mad dog wave, barely keeping the ship from being swallowed.

“Huh?” The Little Spirit Fox, who was resting on the deck with its eyes closed, moved its nose backward. It had just felt an unusual energy fluctuation.

“Master, it seems that someone is following us.”

“It should be Qi Wei,” Mcgee answered calmly. Just now, Kidd had already transmitted the construction situation of their home to Mcgee through the system.

He had also complained to Qi Wei. Because she did not listen to his command at all, she had actually gone out on her own.

The time of her disappearance was also the same as when Mcgee had left the Alliance.

“Let her be.” Mcgee did not intend to restrict Qi Wei, as long as she did not do anything to harm the Alliance.

He did not expect her to follow him secretly. As a resource hunter, she probably did not want to give the resources of the mysterious island to Mcgee.

He did not need to expose her conspiracy for the time being and continued to sail toward the target.

He had arrived at the edge of the map unconsciously.

When Mcgee looked at the map, he realized that the world seemed to have become even wider.

The area that did not exist on the map had now appeared using the fog of war.

“There’s such a thing?”

In the past, Mcgee also rode on his flying mount and looked down at the land from 10,000 meters above the ground. He had never thought that there was an undetectable area.

It was the same in the ancient ruins battlefield not long ago.

“The energy ahead is particularly dense. Let’s stop for a moment.”

The Little Spirit Fox ran to the bow of the ship. In front of the ship, a gray fog appeared, looking very frightening.

Mcgee threw out the anchor from the deck.

Because it was close to land, the sea here was not unfathomable. The anchor gradually sank to the bottom.

There was no need to be afraid that the ship would be washed away by the waves while they were exploring the island.

“Qi Wei said that she tried to approach the Smoker Forest from the air and land, but in the end, she lost her way and walked out.”

“I don’t think it’s because of her sixth sense.”

How could a female assassin who had lived alone in the world of familiars for a year make a low-level mistake?

Looking at the Giant Diving Crocodile sleeping on the deck, Mcgee shouted, “Wake up, let’s get to work.”

The Giant Diving Crocodile stretched.

“It’s all foggy up ahead. Are you sure you want me to bring you forward?”

It did not mind swimming forward with Mcgee and the three-tailed Little Spirit Fox on its back, but the risk was too high.

The Crocodile knew the terror of the ocean. Even if there were no dangerous familiars in the fog, losing their direction on the sea would only result in death.

“I have a compass and a map.” Mcgee raised his hand and showed the watch to the Crocodile.

“Since we’re going forward, why don’t we drive the boat in?”

“I guess there’s a certain rule of repulsion in the Smoker Forest.”

After abandoning the boat and swimming forward for a while, the Crocodile realized that it could not see the environment three meters away at all.

“What should we do?” It was a little anxious because looking underwater, it was bottomless. It seemed to be in a different dimension from where the boat had stopped just now.

“Maintain the direction.” Mcgee looked at the compass on his watch. He kept heading south and did not deviate from his position.

But why… it felt like he was spinning in circles.

After an hour, the Giant Diving Crocodile was tired of swimming. It saw a reef not far away and said, “Let’s go there and rest for a while.”

After getting Mcgee’s confirmation, it swam quickly as if it had encountered an oasis in the desert.

Then…

It found that it was out of the fog’s coverage.

However, when it was out of the fog, it saw the ship they were on was floating calmly not far away.

Mcgee was shocked. He looked at the compass.

They had never deviated from the direction! Why did they still return to where they were?

Could it be that there were familiars or something else secretly influencing the magnetic field, causing the compass to deviate…

Or…

They were already at the two poles of the planet. If they kept going forward, they would soon go around the sphere?

Impossible.

Mcgee knew that the world of familiars could not be understood with scientific common sense. There must be some special rules affecting them.

Actually, before coming here, Mcgee had already made a decision.

It was the same as when he met the Snow Spirit Fox.

“Little Spirit Fox, look after our boat.”

“No, I want to go on an adventure with you.”

“No.” Mcgee rejected the Little Spirit Fox request. Because the Little Spirit Fox was not good at swimming, it was impossible for her to swim in the water for a long time.

That was because Mcgee intended to swim through the water with the Giant Diving Crocodile.

Since Qi Wei had already tried both land and sky, she could not enter the island. Obviously, the only way to enter the island was.

Diving!

The Giant Diving Crocodile did not care. Although it lived in freshwater, it was not a big problem for it to live in the sea for a short period of time.

However…

“Can you breathe in the sea too?”

When he was diving with Zhao Ling Er last time, Mcgee had strengthened his ability in this area.

Holding his breath for ten minutes was definitely not a problem.

The reason why he had to bring the Giant Diving Crocodile was to ensure that Mcgee would be able to rescue him from the water in case of the danger of suffocation.

“I’ll follow behind you.” The Giant Diving Crocodile obviously knew what Mcgee meant.

In fact, from the last time they fought with the Flood Dragon together, they had already established a preliminary trust.

Mcgee took a deep breath and jumped into the water.

“You have to protect master well. If you dare to take the opportunity to hurt master, I won’t let you off.”

The three-tailed Little Spirit Fox threatened the Diving Giant Crocodile. It really wished that it was a Snow Spirit Fox and could move freely in the water.

Unfortunately, its fire element and wood element power restricted it from staying in the water for a long time.

“Don’t worry.”

The two of them disappeared from the Little Spirit Fox vision.

Almost at the same time, Qi Wei and Demon Fox’s boat stopped at a place that the Little Spirit Fox could not see.

“He seems to want to enter the Smoker Forest from the bottom of the water.” Demon Fox stood on the mast and saw Mcgee’s actions.

“I thought about it too, but unfortunately, I’m not good at swimming.”

“I hope he can come out unscathed.” Qi Wei recalled that the system had the option to strengthen her lung capacity. Unfortunately, she spent all her points on improving her strength.

Moreover, Mcgee’s guess may not be correct.
