Xiao Shenke, a bloodline sorcerer, can sense the anomalies in the story world, and Wang Zhen, as an overpowered mage, can naturally sense them as well!

This is also the fundamental reason why Wang Zhen no longer proceeds step by step and slowly advances! The whole world is oppressive, and all the mission objectives are important assets of the story world. How could they not be hated by the story world if they wanted to seize these star ships?

Therefore, the idea of cautiously probing the " Black Pearl's" trump cards before attempting to seize it becomes unnecessary. As one of the core assets of the story world, the " Black Pearl " will inevitably be strengthened, and sending someone to test its limits will not be very effective.

Wang Zhen had considered all of this, which is why he directly bypassed the " Interceptor " that Yang Tianbao and the other two had seized and went into battle himself.

Standing at the bow, gazing at the vast ocean in the distance, he saw that even in broad daylight, the sea was still shrouded in mist. If it weren't for Wang Zhen's " Eye of Observation " Little White flying in the sky and the mark he had branded on the mast of the " Black Pearl " in advance, he might not have been able to catch up with this legendary pirate ship!

At this point, the Hela Finkel " was approaching 18 knots, very close to the 19 knots speed of the " Mir " sailing warship, a record set by the Mao family. Furthermore, this was a modern sailing warship built in 1987, completely different from the sailing warships of the 17th and 18th centuries. Yet, the " Hela Finkel, " a magical artifact warship built by Wang Zhen using his own clone as its core, had already achieved a speed record set by modern sailing warships!

Even the " Hela Finkel " still had some spare capacity; it hadn't reached its limit. It was just that Wang Zhen didn't want to increase the speed to the maximum yet, reserving some for maneuvering.

But then, something bizarre and spectacular happened!

Although the Black Pearl is hailed as the fastest ship in the Caribbean Sea, logically speaking, it couldn't possibly be faster than the Hela Finkel, which has a speed of 18 knots. Even if it set sail earlier, the Hela Finkel should have been able to catch up slowly!

However, even with the Hela Finkel " speeding across the sea, Wang Zhen still couldn't spot the " Black Pearl "!

Unfortunately, the Black Pearl was right in front of them, according to the surveillance footage transmitted by Little White, the " Eye of Observation " in the air!

In Wang Zhen's eyes, a faint white mist was clearly shrouded the distant sea, and this level of mist could not conceal a pirate ship that was entirely black and had black sails.

But here's the strange thing: this thin white fog actually concealed the " Black Pearl "!

At least, it's invisible to the naked eye!

It's fair to say that if " Eye of Observation " Little White hadn't been an alchemical creature, Wang Zhen felt he would have definitely lost track of the target, meaning he wouldn't have been able to lock onto the " Black Pearl " at all!

"High-speed navigation?"

"Using the fog to conceal oneself?"

At this moment, Wang Zhen's eyes were opened! The legendary pirate ship really did have its own trump card!

"I wonder if this white mist that obscures the ship's hull is part of the ' Black Pearl ' itself, or a tactic employed by Barbossa and his pirate crew?"

"Fellow Zhongzhou Team, look ahead at the sea shrouded in white fog. Tell me, what do you see?"

Wang Zhen originally intended to use the power of the Yamata no Orochi clone to break through the strange white mist, but he had a sudden inspiration and changed his approach.

"There's nothing there, just a white mist!"

"That's right! It's just a white mist."

Me too!

Most people said they saw nothing, only a thin white mist.

"If the ' Black Pearl ' were in that white fog, what would you think?"

Seeing that the others were still staring at the white mist in the distance, Wang Zhen asked with a smile.

"How is that possible? This fog isn't thick enough to obscure our vision. Besides, how could we not see a warship as large as the Black Pearl '? Even if the fog were thicker, it wouldn't be able to hide it."

Zheng Zha couldn't help but question it.

"Not necessarily! Although I can't see anything hidden in that white mist, my senses tell me that this white mist is no ordinary fog; it's a kind of extraordinary power."

Xiao Shenke's eyes had turned into golden snake pupils, and his tongue was sticking out of his mouth. He no longer concealed his identity as a sorcerer. Now he was activating the snake pupils and forked tongue of his own Komodo Giant Serpent to probe the white mist. Unfortunately, his Komodo Giant Serpent bloodline was still slightly diluted, which only allowed him to know that it was white mist formed by extraordinary power, and he could not detect any other specific information.

Wang Dashan's eyes also turned into golden wolf eyes, and his ears twitched slightly, clearly indicating that he was also using his transplanted organs to probe. However, he found nothing unusual; he only sensed that something was wrong with this white mist based on the genetic characteristics of Space Wolves.

"Something's not right with this white mist; something's definitely hidden inside! Give me a few minutes, I'll go investigate!"

Nie Quanzhen, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke. At this moment, a strange eye appeared between her brows, which was none other than the "Imperial Arm: Five-Vision Omnipotent Observer," possessing the abilities of insight, farsightedness, X-ray vision, future vision, and illusion vision!

She has only had the Imperial Arms for a short time, so she cannot fully unleash its power yet, but it has already allowed her to penetrate part of the white mist!

Then, Nie Quanzhen flicked her hand, and a silver-white, winged humanoid object floated in front of her. She placed a high-definition camera around the neck of this humanoid object, and then the silver-white humanoid object immediately flapped its wings and flew towards the white mist.

" Liquid Shadow "!

This is another of Nie Quanzhen's superpowers, and it is also the result of her comprehensive adjustment of her abilities after the team battle.

Soon, the scene in the white fog was clearly displayed on the tablet computer in Nie Quanzhen's hand!

Wang Zhen was also somewhat surprised by this, not expecting that each of these team members now had a unique skill!

Just as Zheng Zha was about to ask a question, Zhang Jie subtly tugged at his arm, signaling him to be quiet!

"Found it! The ' Black Pearl ' is hidden in this eerie white fog, and it's slowing down now. Ahead should be the waters of Isla de Muerta, where there are many reefs and shipwrecks."

With the " Liquid Shadow " probing the situation, Nie Quanzhen was no longer blinded by the white mist and directly described the specific situation of the sea shrouded in white mist!

The Hela Finkel did not slow down and continued to move forward at high speed until it came to a slow stop outside the white fog.

"This is the power of the legendary pirate ship ' Black Pearl '! With the aid of this white mist that can obscure vision, coupled with its own agility and speed, it's no wonder it became a legendary pirate ship."

"Don't underestimate this seemingly harmless ability. Once you're familiar with the ocean environment, not only will ordinary warships be unable to catch it, but even if they do, there's a significant chance they'll be ambushed or killed by it using underwater reefs."

Wang Zhen pointed to the lingering mist and said softly.

" Nie Quanzhen, use your abilities to monitor the movements of the ' Black Pearl '! Let me know as soon as they emerge from Isla de Muerta!"

While giving instructions to Nie Quanzhen, Wang Zhen used his mind to direct the " Hela Finkel " towards a nearby reef, hiding the ship behind it.

"Shouldn't we seize the Black Pearl now?"

"Don't forget, Elizabeth Swann isn't Will Turner; her blood can't break the curse!"

"According to the plot, Will Turner and Jack Sparrow are on their way here. So, we'll wait for Barbossa and his pirate crew to break the curse before we seize the ship!"

"As you've seen, the Black Pearl now possesses this eerie fog that obscures visibility. No one knows what other abilities this legendary pirate ship might have unless the curse is lifted."

Wang Zhen gazed at the white mist, then turned to look in the direction of Port Royal, and said calmly.
