Chapter 400: Seagod Bead
There are a lot of small means for monkeys, and there are a few gadgets at hand that they made from the ghost clan before, all of which are black technology products from the "Sky Dynasty" period.
Therefore, if it wants to engage in surveillance or something in the fleet, it is not too easy, it only needs to avoid a few top masters, such as Zhang Feng and others, and there is almost no danger of being discovered.
I have to say that the monkey broke out these fierce news, which still shocked Chen Mu, and couldn't help asking: "Can't it, if you really want to make such a big battle, can the fleet be so normal here, and let us continue to carry goods here?"
The monkey smiled: "Hehe, what do you think, several high-level officials on the flagship's side are about to fry, but Qiu Lin didn't speak for a long time, only said that the cargo handling work of the fleet cannot be affected, and it will leave the port on time in two days."
As for Zhang Feng's side, it seems a little strange, obviously this thing should be an impulsive and angry move, but when he took those elites off the ship, he was very low-key, and they covered each other and left in batches, I don't know what it means. ”
Chen Mu thought thoughtfully: "No matter what he means, let's wait and see, as long as our identities are not exposed, they can do the rest, it won't be worse than being wanted by the mermaids, right?"
The monkey also laughed: "Haha, that's right, I really don't know what the use of this broken bead is, to make the mermaid clan so aggressive, could it be that it is really an artifact?"
"You're thinking too much, this is a wasteland, how can there be all those gods and goddesses. Chen Mu was very firm: "If you want me to see, the so-called 'sea god' should still be some kind of intelligent creature, but the other party's ability is relatively special, so he is pretending to be a ghost in a secret."
Otherwise, if it is really a legendary god, then not to mention omnipotent, at least we can confirm our location, and let the believers chase and kill it directly, why do you need to make it so troublesome, and you are wanted everywhere, it is really too profitable. ”
Not to mention that the two of them are complaining here, on the other side, the high priest of the mermaid clan's temple is hurrying away.
Alone, the High Priest harnesses a small black shark that is almost unaffected by the sea.
Everywhere they went, most of the sea beasts avoided one after another, and occasionally there were special existences that were unresponsive or had strength against the sky, and the high priest did not face hard steel, just detoured, anyway, the speed of the black shark was extremely fast, and it didn't waste much time.
Naturally, there are patrols that encounter merfolk along the way, but the High Priest's trident has its own temple insignia on it, which emits a special induction sound wave.
The mermaid clan encountered could sense it from a distance, knowing that this was the logo of the temple, and according to the strength of the logo, it could also be judged that this was a high-level member of the temple, so they naturally retreated.
According to the rules of the merfolk clan, when a member of the temple goes out to run errands, unless he takes the initiative to ask for help from the ordinary merfolk clan, no non-temple member is allowed to approach without permission.
In this almost unimpeded situation, it did not take long for the high priest to reach the western seas, and then continued to soar in the direction of "Treasure Island".
Chen Mu and the monkey guessed a little wrong, they thought that the mermaid clan was wanted everywhere like this because they couldn't confirm their location.
In reality, however, the opposite is true, when the high priest left the temple, he had already localized the beads in the monkey's belly through a special connection with the god of the sea.
This kind of positioning method is not something that can be shielded by the monkey's small means, at least not within the "golden sea".
In the territory of the merfolk, the reason why every stronghold has to build a temple is naturally one of the reasons why the shield provides defense.
But another reason is that the temples can be connected to each other, which is equivalent to a special signal base station, which is connected to each other into a huge information network.
Even the royal family of the mermaid clan doesn't know the inside story very well, and only the previous high priests really know about it.
The priests at all levels are only responsible for specific tasks, although when they are executed, they can more or less guess some, but the real core technology is only known to the high priest.
There is only one truth, that is, this matter is actually directly related to the so-called "sea god", which naturally requires the highest level of secrecy measures, and the fewer people who know, the better.
At least so far, the effect of secrecy is not bad, the concept and authority of the "sea god" have been deeply ingrained in the mermaid clan, and almost no one has gone back to doubt whether the gods really exist, nor have they gone back to question the identity of the spokesperson of the high priest, because this is designated by the gods.
The high priest controls all the temples, which is equivalent to the highest administrator of the entire system, as long as it is within the signal coverage of the temple, the "Seagod Pearl" that was taken away by Chen Mu has nothing to hide.
Not to mention that the monkey just swallowed it in its belly, adding some small black technology to cover it, even if it used many props from the "Sky Dynasty" period, it was difficult to completely cover the signal source of the "Poseidon Pearl".
No way, the "Sky Dynasty" is indeed the peak era of human science and technology, and today's wasteland is indeed a desert of scientific and technological civilization, backward and in a mess.
But no matter how primitive the era, there is always something unique to it, from some aspects, this unique thing or means, the effect is not necessarily worse than black technology, and in some places it is even better than some black technology of the year.
The existence of "Poseidon" belongs to this unique system, and the origin is the special use of energy, but after various variables, it does have its own uniqueness in some aspects, and it is not worthless.
Originally, when Chen Mu and the monkey were adrift on the sea before, the frequency of being located was not high, after all, the "Golden Sea" was vast, and the construction of the temple was very resource-intensive, and the mermaid tribe itself was in a perennial state of war, and there was not much spare money to build temples everywhere.
Even after so many years of accumulation, the signal network of the temple only completely covers the western seas, which is the base of the merfolk clan, and there is no room for error.
The eastern seas only cover the frontline area and some key logistics positions, and there are still many gaps in other places.
As for the northern seas, it is even worse, with less than a tenth of the coverage, mainly covering key areas along the border.
For example, in the northwest corner where "Hemsted" is located, because it is relatively remote, there are only three official strongholds in the entire area nearby, that is, there are only three temples, and now one has been destroyed by Chen Mu, and only two remain.
Of course, the most bitter is still the southern sea, which basically belongs to the "barren land" abandoned by the mermaid clan, and the temples in the entire sea area, or the official stronghold, are less than ten in total.
