Su Chen's fleet had passed through these waters countless times before, yet it had never encountered anything like this.
A magnetic-field anomaly had suddenly appeared, so there had to be a reason for it. It was absolutely impossible for it to have emerged from thin air.
Perhaps the spiritual-energy ore on the seafloor had undergone some mutation. Perhaps an unknown alien beast was active in the area. Or perhaps a Spatial Rift had caused the magnetic field to become chaotic. Any of these possibilities could be true.
As for whether he could find the cause today and determine what had led to the current situation, Su Chen had no absolute confidence.
These waters covered a vast area, and the magnetic interference would affect the precision of his mental power. Finding the source within a short time would not be easy.
For now, he was merely doing his utmost to give it a try.
If he could not find the cause today, he could return tomorrow with some helpers.
If he still could not find it tomorrow, then he would continue coming back the day after.
The worst outcome would be failing to find the cause for a long stretch of time. In that case, Su Chen could only reluctantly order the fleet to change course.
Even if it meant taking a detour and increasing operating costs by tens of millions, he would never let his fleet risk its lives crossing these waters, which had become abnormal and dangerous.
Su Chen knew all too well that on the boundless sea, any anomaly that suddenly appeared could be magnified infinitely in an instant.
For example, a sudden strengthening of the magnetic field could cause a ship's hull to lose control, while enormous waves from a sudden storm could overturn the vessels. In
