After thinking it over, Ye Yuan
finally released his senses, wanting to see whether things were as he had guessed—whether someone was secretly protecting their group.
10 nautical miles.
20 nautical miles.
50 nautical miles.
100 nautical miles.
No way, right?
Even after his senses scanned a hundred nautical miles in every direction,
he found no suspicious vessels other than the cargo ship disguised as a freighter.
Ye Yuan even began to wonder whether his guess had been wrong.
Was no one protecting Xu Hang's side at all?
But the more he thought about it, the less likely that seemed.
If there were really only the people on the ship, Xu Hang could not possibly have let him leave so easily.
With Xu Hang's abilities, he was not capable of dealing with an entire ship of pirates alone.
Then what was he relying on?
Since there were no ships within a hundred nautical miles,
what else could make Xu Hang so fearless?
Standing by the rail, he sank into thought.
Then, without noticing, sunlight reflected off the seawater flashed into his eyes.
Hmm?
The sea!
Could it be...?
With that thought, Ye Yuan swiftly sent his senses beneath the surface and began searching the waters near his fishing boat.
Before, he had only considered the possibility that ships might be following them nearby.
But he had forgotten that this was the ocean.
If there was any better way to hide one's tracks, it would be to hide in the sea.
And other than a submarine, what else could do that?
Xu Hang and the others had not gone this far, had they?
Had they actually arranged a submarine to escort his little fishing boat?
Ye Yuan soon got his answer.
Xu Hang and the others really had gone all out.
