Since they had no idea what lay ahead, the sensible thing was to get out of there first.
As for the mission? Was it more important than staying alive?
The submarine's engines immediately went to full power, propelling it away from the cargo ship...
Meanwhile, in the deep waters near the cargo ship, a figure hovered in the water. It was none other than Shen Bing's right-hand man, Lu Xian.
That was right. The torpedoes fired by the submarine had disappeared entirely because of Lu Xian. He had swallowed them.
Bear Grylls might be tough enough to swallow countless disgusting-looking bugs raw, but would he dare swallow a torpedo? A smoking one, at that!
Even with wilderness survival skills maxed out, nobody would dare do something like that.
Lu Xian had not actually withstood the force of a torpedo explosion. His method was simple: when he transformed between his Cauldron Furnace and human forms, anything stored inside the Cauldron Furnace vanished directly into the void.
Forget two torpedoes. Even if they had been two nuclear bombs, Lu Xian was absolutely confident he could prevent them from ever exploding.
But Lu Xian had weaknesses too. For instance, his detection range extended only a few hundred meters. He could not detect a target ten kilometers away, nor could he tell how far away the enemy was.
