Chapter 1058: Misjudgment, The Meaning of Civilization
"Canuas Guntus?"
Heart-to-heart communication is a more direct form of communication than verbal communication, and it is generally believed that even two people of different races and cultures can understand each other relatively accurately through heart-to-heart communication.
But the spiritual message of the big octopus still hanging on the cliff wall is extremely chaotic, and there are even inconsistent parts.
If it weren't for the relatively clear warnings, dissatisfaction, anger, jealousy and other emotions in it, Xia Duo would have thought that this big octopus was a madman.
If he wanted to, he could use the perception field to cast a spell to transmit psychic information to the big octopus, but this big octopus didn't seem to be very smart, so Xia Duo also gave up the idea of communication.
The reason why the perception field is still maintained is just to delay time for the "Far Place".
There is no doubt that this big octopus had discovered the "Far Place" before, and even Xia Duo could tell some of the contents related to the "Far Place" from the chaotic information transmitted by the other party.
This part is quite interesting, the big octopus thinks that the "Far Away" is also a sea monster, and as for the humans on the "Far Side", they are vassals of the giant beast.
For this reason, the big octopus also reported its own name - Kanuas Guntus.
However, in the expression of the giant octopus, "Canuas Guntus" is not only its own name, but also its race.
In other words, it is likely that this large octopus is not a mutated and grown octopus, but a separate race.
This result also made Xia Duo more acceptable, to be honest, if there was an equally large race of this large octopus, the Narrow Sea would have been occupied by them long ago.
According to relevant records and Captain Bill's introduction, the sea monsters in the Narrow Sea, that is, these giant sea creatures, are all in different shapes.
There are more normal fish forms, and there are still fewer ones like octopus.
And unless a ship hits their mouth, these sea monsters will barely attack, and under normal circumstances, these sea monsters will not actively attack humans, and will not even operate in the offshore area.
Of course, no matter what form of sea monster it is, it is relatively rare, at least from the human discovery record, it is quite limited.
Xia Duo met two people on his first boat trip, and he didn't know if it was good luck or bad luck.
But in any case, if the worst does not occur, it will be enough.
Since the big octopus regards the "Far Away" as a sea monster, Xia Duo will accept it, as long as the big octopus does not attack the "Far Side", 8000 gold coins is not a small amount.
If this is converted into hometown money, it is almost 1.6 million!
In this way, Xia Duo used the perception field to confront the big octopus, and if he didn't release the perception field, the big octopus would not come down from the cliff, and he would not stop sending out divergent spiritual information.
It's a bit funny, but it's real.
And from the follow-up spiritual information of the big octopus, Xia Duo finally found the reason, the reason why the other party thinks that the "Far Away" is also a sea monster is still Xia Duo himself.
The existence of special bloodlines is not sensitive to human beings, and it can even be said that they are completely imperceptible.
Only those mages who are proficient in the transformation system spells, and must also be in the human body realm, can easily discover the existence of special bloodlines from the characteristics of the magic net and the human body.
But this is for humans as non-magical creatures, and if they are magical creatures like the great octopus, magic is like instinct for them.
The perception of special bloodlines may be more sensitive than that of humans.
The big octopus always thought that the "Far Away" was a sea monster, because Xia Duo stayed on the ship all the time, which affected its judgment.
In a sense, Xia Duo is almost a living bow statue capable of sheltering a ship.
However, it is a pity that Xia Duo is not good at how to become a qualified ship's bow statue, so even if the big octopus has shown jealousy, he still has not removed the perception field.
This standoff continued until the main body of Xia Duo on the "Far Away" heard Nia convey a notice from Captain Bill that Overwatch Island was almost here!
Xia Duo looked up, and sure enough, a huge gap appeared in the sea surface of the strait mountain range on the west side of the "Far Place", and a lone island was located right in the middle of the gap.
That's Overwatch Island!
At this time, the "Far Place" was already very close to Overwatch Island, and Xia Duo could even see the mage tower standing on the cliff wall at the edge of the island, or-
Lighthouses will do too.
Although the sun has sunk in the west at this moment, and the sun is not stronger than noon, the "Yuanfang", which is sailing westward facing the gap in the strait mountain range, is facing the direction of the setting sun!
The light from the top of the mage tower on Watch Island was even stronger than the sunlight at this angle!
It is conceivable that if it were at night, the light might be visible to passing ships from far away.
When he got here, Xia Duo didn't want to confront the big octopus, and if the confrontation continued, if he provoked the other party, it would really be a disaster.
However, before disarming the Perception Field, he used the Perception Field to cast a psychic spell to send a warning message to the big octopus, to the effect that-
fo
I'm covering the sea, don't come to the sea if you're fine!
After passing this information, Xia Duo didn't want the big octopus to reply anything, and was about to lift the perception field, but he didn't expect the big octopus to reply to him!
The information replied by the other party was still messy, but there was one thing that Xia Duo captured, that is, the big octopus itself lives in the deep sea, and this time it came to the surface because of chasing the big whale.
The other party explained this, Xia Duo quickly accepted it when he saw it, and did not continue to communicate, and if he continued to communicate, he was also worried about revealing his stuffing.
Moreover, with the chaotic consciousness of this big octopus, it is difficult to make any long-term guarantee that it will not come to the surface, as long as it is allowed to leave this time.
You must know that the "Far Away" will return tomorrow, and it will be embarrassing if it is blocked in the middle of the road.
However, the communication with the big octopus also made Xia Duo think that if he had saved the big whale before, he might be able to gain a more stable communication partner.
Judging from the big whale's final decision to commit suicide, it is clear that its intelligence is higher than that of the big octopus.
But unfortunately, in this world, not only high wisdom is necessarily strong, but also methods and tools that can give full play to wisdom.
In this world, there is no doubt that magic is such a method, a tool.
If the big whale knew how to do magic, maybe it was the big octopus who died in the previous battle.
Even as long as the big whale had a spell or item like the [Pioneer Scepter] that was immune to psychic spells, it was impossible for the big octopus to kill it almost unharmed.
This is also something that Xia Duo later learned, he didn't know that the big octopus had psychic abilities, and perhaps those fish-man vassals were controlled by it with psychic abilities.
And in addition to transmitting information and control, psychic abilities can definitely also be used as a means of direct attack, so it's a pity for the big whale!
Maybe it had a decent bloodline ability (at least one of the summoning water elementals), but it couldn't do real magical research, and ended up dying so humiliatingly.
Maybe it's because there are so few of its kind!
With this experience, Xia Duo is more and more able to understand the meaning of civilization, and only by gathering the most, broadest, and most comprehensive wisdom can we deal with the infinite unknown future.
