Simply looking down from above gave Su Jiu the sensation of plunging into an abyss.
Although Su Jiu could not use her otherworldly eyes, she still had her divine sense.
She tentatively extended her divine sense downward and discovered that the air currents within the whirlpool were extremely chaotic.
It was as though cultivators were fighting beneath it.
Another strange thing was that, despite the raging winds and towering waves in this stretch of sea, there was not the slightest sign of any demon beasts.
It was as though this stretch of sea had never contained any demon beasts at all.
Yet Xia Jue and Chu Luohen, who had been here before, knew that these waters had hardly been peaceful in the past.
In particular, this was the stretch of sea where the two shores lay closest together, so cultivators often passed through here. Some marine demon beasts liked to feed on humans, so ordinarily, quite a few of them should have been lying in wait here.
Today, however, was strangely different.
Su Jiu could not help thinking of the shattered barrier stone and the missing fishermen. Perhaps they had something to do with this phenomenon as well.
The range of their divine sense was limited, after all, and probing became even harder once it entered the water.
Before long, all four withdrew their divine sense.
"Entering the sea now isn't safe. We can't even guarantee our own safety." Chu Luohen's words were truthful, but cruel all the same.
Indeed, descending when everything remained unknown would be unwise.
"From what Junior Granduncle means, the entrance leading to the Merfolk Tribe is somewhere near this whirlpool?"
Chu Luohen nodded.
Su Jiu pressed her lips together. Although returning now would be the wisest decision, she could not quite resign herself to it.
