Unfathomable Sea Domain
After resting for a while, Moo stopped crying and became more affectionate towards Xia Qiu.
Xia Qiu swayed her body and moved slowly forward, while observing the surrounding situation.
The magnetic field has changed.
Xia Qiu was able to detect changes in the surrounding magnetic field through tiny magnets inside the skull; the magnetic field was disordered, chaotic, and different from that of the East China Sea.
The magnetic field lines in the East China Sea are complete and orderly. When you go to an island, you can sense the direction of the magnetic field and determine your location and direction by the angle between your own biomagnetism and the direction of the Earth's magnetic field.
However, here, the direction of the magnetic field and the magnitude of the magnetic force are all completely chaotic.
Xia Qiu knew about the Grand Line because many regions of the Grand Line had special minerals that produced different magnetic forces, causing problems with the magnetic field along the line.
Therefore, traditional pointers become useless, and Log Pose is needed. This pointer can store magnetic force and obtain the position of the next island by observing the magnetic influence between islands.
The Grand Line has seven routes depending on the magnetic force, all of which lead to the Sabaody Archipelago.
Therefore, to traverse the Grand Line, one must conquer magnetic forces.
Xia Qiu didn't care about any of that. He had already come up with a plan: he would use biomagnetism and the direction of the magnetic force emitted by the island to pinpoint his location, and then find the second island by capturing its magnetic force.
More importantly, Xia Qiu doesn't need to catch the magnetic force to reach the island. He only needs to use the magnetic force to correct his position and ensure his direction of travel by staying in the middle of the magnetic field strength. Even if there are some deviations, he can still reach the Sabaody Archipelago.
Unlike pirates, Xia Qiu does not need to resupply ashore or lock onto routes, thus requiring seven fixed sea routes.
For Xia Qiu, any place with seawater is his habitat.
More importantly, Xia Qiu can move in opposite directions.
The celestial phenomena, geomagnetism, ocean currents, and air currents along the Grand Line are all chaotic.
Most sailing warships rely on ocean currents and air currents to move forward, and it is difficult for them to go against the current.
Only ships with additional power sources can do this.
As for myself, with my immense physical strength, crossing the current against the current is not difficult.
This ensures that Xia Qiu don't have to worry about being swept away by ocean currents to other locations.
In general, for Xia Qiu, the dangers of the Grand Line were more about the creatures in the sea.
For now, given his speed and strength, those larger than him are not as fast, and those smaller than him are not as strong.
Therefore, there is a good chance that the first half of the Grand Line will be spent in Xia Qiu.
However, Xia Qiu does not plan to go anywhere else for the time being.
His purpose in coming to the Grand Line was to become stronger, so naturally he had to hunt pirates. The closer he got to the entrance of the Grand Line, the more pirates he encountered.
Those who travel from all corners of the world to the Grand Line must pass through this waterway on Reverse Mountain, and those who come to the Grand Line are certainly not ordinary pirates.
Furthermore, ordinary pirates in the East China Sea are weak in strength and power, while those in the other three seas are stronger.
Therefore, the quality of pirates hunted by oneself on the Grand Line will definitely be higher.
However, this place is still within Laboon's activity range. We should move away a bit and find a place near an island with a strong magnetic field to live. The water around the island is shallow, which can prevent us from being attacked by large Sea King and large sea fish that wander by.
Then, using the island as a base, they would wait for an opportunity to capture...
One or two is fine, but if there are more, it becomes more troublesome.
Xia Qiu thought about it and felt the magnetic force around him. He could feel about three forces, two of which were relatively strong and one was very small.
The smaller ones may be due to their distance or the presence of fewer special minerals.
The magnetic force was strong but also relatively close, only able to capture the surrounding sea area. So Xia Qiu swam left and right, found a magnetic force with a smaller reduction in amplitude, and swam towards it.
The reduced magnetic field indicates that the target can encompass a large surrounding sea area, enough for many Log Pose to detect and travel to their destination.
It cannot be overwritten, which means that if a pirate ship arrives in this area, the Log Pose will point to that location.
The Grand Line is basically encompassed by seven routes.
If nothing unexpected happens, that is one of the entrances to the seven shipping routes.
As long as Xia Qiu controls one sea route, he can hunt down a considerable number of pirates.
Let's go there first.
Xia Qiu thought to herself, and followed the magnetic force to swim away.
"I'm leaving."
Moo tilted its head and quickly followed.
Xia Qiu increased its speed and opened its mouth to release and receive sound waves.
It's too messy.
There was too much noise underwater—the sound of the currents, the waves, the cries of giant creatures—all of which disturbed me.
Moreover, the unpredictable ocean currents are constantly reducing the sound waves.
In such an environment, one's detection range will inevitably be reduced.
However, the fish in the Grand Line are large, and even if the sound waves are reduced, they can still be caught.
It seems we still need to re-analyze and compare; we should be more cautious for now.
Xia Qiu swam forward a distance and caught a sea fish in the distance.
Based on my experience, the length is around ten meters.
Xia Qiu immediately led Moo closer. After advancing four or five hundred meters, Xia Qiu spotted the other party, which was at least thirty meters long.
Long, laterally compressed, oval-shaped, and relatively tall.
The eyes are located high up, the gills are diagonally below the eyes, and the body behind the eyes is relatively thick.
Trident fish.
This was the first time Xia Qiu had ever seen such a large filefish.
However, the difference is too great.
The sound wave feedback signal captured in Xia Qiu was about ten meters long, but it turned out to be thirty meters long.
The difference is quite significant.
Moreover, the vibrations he caused were very weak, greatly reduced by the ocean currents.
This disparity made Xia Qiu feel very uncomfortable.
"Moo".
While Xia Qiu was still in a daze, Moo had already rushed towards the other party.
Xia Qiu is currently 42 meters long, Moo, when lying flat, is about 50 meters long. In the eyes of sea fish, it is a behemoth.
So it turned around, spread its fins, and ran away.
"Moo".
Moo chased after it with all its might, closing the distance between them, and soon rushed to its side, opening its huge mouth to bite down.
Click.
Moo's teeth sank directly into the other's body, continuing to bite downwards.
Boom!
The sea fish struggled violently, Moo used the force to swing backward, biting off a large piece of flesh.
The sea fish broke free from Moo's teeth and tried to move forward, but Moo caught up again and slapped it with its paw.
Moo only has pectoral fins, dorsal fins, and caudal fins. Its pectoral fins are huge and have fingers at the end.
Bang.
Moo's pectoral fin landed directly on the opponent's head, knocking it over.
Then he lunged forward again and bit down. After several times, the fish began to flip over and was dead beyond any doubt.
"Moo".
Moo bit the tail of the sea fish and dragged it towards Xia Qiu.
When Moo came to Xia Qiu's side, it stopped, nudged Xia Qiu, and patted the sea fish.
Should I bring it back so I can eat it first?
Moo has caught sea fish and left some for Xia Qiu, but usually eats them himself first.
This time, they actually let me eat first.
Xia Qiu did not refuse, opened her mouth, and began to eat the sea fish.
After such a long time, I'm quite hungry.
Moo started eating the sea fish from the other side as well.
After eating for a while, Xia Qiu was almost full, and a warm current slowly appeared, much stronger than when they were in the East China Sea.
It seems that the Evolution Energy is much stronger in the East China Sea than in the East China Sea. For the same species, the creatures in the Grand Line are larger than those in the East China East China Sea. For example, the pufferfish I found in the East China Sea were only seven or eight meters long, or even ten meters long, but now I can find one that is thirty meters long.
Evolution Energy is what allows organisms to break through size limitations and become larger. The organisms here are larger than those in the East China Sea, so they need more Evolution Energy to continuously break through their own limitations.
For example, Abu is an island whale from the West Blue. With such a massive size, its Evolution Energy would be enormous. However, because whales are inherently large, the breakthrough rate is not particularly high, and their own weight is also significant. Therefore, the Evolution Energy contained in a body of the same weight may not be much higher than that of the pufferfish mentioned earlier.
It seems that my growth rate will be much faster than when I was in the East China Sea.
But at that moment, Xia Qiu felt a series of tremors.
Um?
Moo was still eating, completely unaware.
This foodie.
Xia Qiu had already raised her head and opened her mouth to release sound waves.
many.
There were at least five sea fish approaching from the vicinity.
Based on past experience, the sound feedback from these fish ranges from ten meters, twenty meters, to thirty meters.
But based on the experience just now, these sea fish are at least 30 meters long, and the one that is 30 meters long may even reach 100 meters.
Big and plentiful.
They came here together, apparently attracted by the blood released by the sea fish.
The target is food?
You think you can steal my food?
Xia Qiu snorted coldly, swung her body, and charged towards the sea fish.
Thank you to friend "Flowers Fall Silently" for the generous donation of 10,000 chapters. I will add two more chapters, but writing is a bit slow right now, and I also plan to save up chapters for the release day update, so the extra chapters will be released after the release. Adding to that friend "Daozhe Qingxu's" donation of 10,000 chapters, that makes a total of four chapters. The extra chapters from donations will not count towards the release day update or the guaranteed update. There will be at least five chapters on the release day, which is easy to achieve. For the guaranteed update, I plan to guarantee at least three chapters in the first month after release, which I achieved with my previous two books, so I should be able to do it. However, I may not be able to add extra chapters on top of that, so it might have to wait until the second month.
Of course, the temporary goal is to fix the update time, with the first update to be at least in the morning.
