Chapter 1058 Misjudgment, The Significance of Civilization
"Canuas Guntus?"
Spiritual communication is a more direct form of communication than verbal communication. It is generally believed that even two parties of different races and different cultures can understand each other relatively accurately through spiritual communication.
But the spiritual message sent by the big octopus still hanging on the cliff is extremely messy and even inconsistent.
If it hadn't contained relatively clear warnings, dissatisfaction, anger, fear and other emotions, Xia Duo would have thought that this big octopus was a madman.
If he wanted to, he could use the sensory field to cast a spell to transmit spiritual information to the big octopus, but the big octopus didn't seem to be very smart, so Sha Duo gave up the idea of communication.
The reason why the sensing field is still maintained is just to delay the "Yuanfang".
There is no doubt that this big octopus has discovered the "Yuanfang" before, and Xia Duo can even distinguish part of the content related to the "Yuanfang" from the chaotic information sent by the other party.
This part is quite interesting. This big octopus thinks that the "Yuanfang" is also a giant ocean beast, and the humans on the "Yuanfang" are the vassals of the giant beast.
For this reason, the big octopus also announced his name - Canuas Guntus.
However, in the description of the big octopus, "Canuas Guntus" is not only its own name, but also its race.
In other words, this big octopus is probably not a mutated octopus that has grown up, but an independent race.
This result also made it easier for Xia Duo to accept. To be honest, if there were equally huge species of this kind of giant octopus, the Narrow Sea would probably have been filled with them long ago.
According to relevant records and Captain Bill's introduction, the sea monsters in the Narrow Sea - these giant marine creatures - all have different shapes.
Most of them are in the form of normal fish, and there are still relatively few in the form of octopus.
And unless a ship hits their mouths, these sea monsters will reluctantly attack. Under normal circumstances, these sea monsters will not actively attack humans, and they will not even go to offshore areas.
Of course, sea monsters in any form are relatively rare, at least judging from human discovery records, they are quite limited.
The first time Xia Duo took a boat out to sea, he met two people. He didn't know whether it was good luck or bad luck.
But no matter what, if the worst case scenario doesn't happen, that's enough.
Since the big octopus regards the "Yuanfang" as a giant ocean beast, Xia Duo will accept it temporarily, as long as the big octopus does not attack the "Yuanfang". 8,000 gold coins is not a small sum.
If this is converted into hometown money, it would be almost 1.6 million!
In this way, Xia Duo used his perception field to confront the big octopus. If he didn't release the perception field, the big octopus would not come down from the cliff, nor would it stop sending out spiritual information.
This scene is somewhat funny, but it really happened.
From the subsequent spiritual information of the big octopus, Xia Duo finally found the reason. The reason why the other party believed that the "Yuanfang" was also a giant ocean beast lay with Xia Duo himself.
The existence of special bloodline is not sensitive to human beings, and it can even be said that they are completely imperceptible.
Only those mages who are proficient in transformation spells and must be in the field of the human body can easily discover the existence of special bloodline from the characteristics of the connection between the magic network and the human body.
But this is for humans as non-magical creatures. If it is a magical creature like a giant octopus, magic is like instinct for them.
The perception of special bloodlines may be more sensitive than humans.
This big octopus always thought that the "Yuanyuan" was a giant ocean beast, because Xia Duo always stayed on the ship, which affected its judgment.
In a sense, Chateau can almost be regarded as a living bow statue that can protect the ship.
Unfortunately, Xia Duo is not good at becoming a qualified ship's head statue, so even though the big octopus has shown fear, he still has not released the perception field.
This confrontation lasted until Shado's body on the "Yuanyuan" heard Niya conveying Captain Bill's notice - Watch Island is coming soon!
Xia Duo looked up and saw that, sure enough, there was a huge gap in the sea in the Strait Mountains on the west side of the "Yuanyuan", and a lonely island was located right in the middle of the gap.
That's Watch Island!
At this time, the "Yuanyuan" was already very close to Watch Island. Sha Duo could even see the mage tower standing on the cliff at the edge of the island, or in other words -
A lighthouse will do, too.
Although the sun has set in the west at this moment and the sunlight is not as strong as at noon, the "Yuanyuan" sailing westward against the gap in the Straits Mountains is facing the direction of the setting sun!
The light from the top of the mage tower on Watch Island is actually stronger than the sunlight from this angle!
It is conceivable that if it is night, the light may be visible to passing ships from very far away.
After arriving here, Xia Duo no longer wanted to confront the big octopus. If the confrontation continued, it would be a real disaster if he provoked the other party.
However, before disabling the perception field, he used the perception field to cast psychic spells to deliver a warning message to the big octopus, to the effect of——
I'm covering the surface of the sea, so don't come to the surface if you have nothing to do!
After delivering this message, Xia Duo didn't want the big octopus to reply. He was about to release the sensing field, but he didn't expect the big octopus to reply to him!
The messages the other party replied were still messy, but one thing was captured by Xia Duo, 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, and Xia Duo quickly accepted it and stopped communicating. If the communication continued, he would be worried about revealing his secret.
Furthermore, with the chaotic consciousness of this big octopus, it is difficult to make any long-term guarantee that it will not come to the sea. As long as it leaves this time, it will be fine.
You must know that the "Yuanyuan" has to return tomorrow. It would be embarrassing if it was blocked halfway.
However, the communication with the big octopus also made Xia Duo think that if he rescued the big whale before, he might be able to gain a more stable communication partner.
Judging from the big whale's final act of committing suicide, it is obvious that its wisdom is higher than that of the big octopus.
But unfortunately, in this world, high intelligence does not necessarily mean you are strong. You also need methods and tools that can give full play to your intelligence.
In this world, there is no doubt that magic is such a method and tool.
If that big whale could use (non-bloodline) magic, maybe it was the big octopus that died in the previous battle.
Even as long as the big whale possesses a spell or prop that is immune to psychic spells, such as the [Pioneer Scepter], it cannot be killed by the big octopus with almost no damage.
Xia Duo only found out this later. He didn't know that the giant octopus had psychic powers at first. Perhaps those fish-men vassals were controlled by it using psychic powers.
And in addition to transmitting information and controlling, psychic powers can definitely also be used as a means of direct attack. What a pity for the big whale!
Maybe it had good bloodline abilities (at least the ability to summon water elements), but it couldn't conduct real magic research, and it died in such a miserable way.
Maybe it’s because there are so few of its kind!
With this experience, Xia Duo is increasingly able to understand the meaning of civilization. Only the largest, broadest, and most comprehensive collection of wisdom can cope with the infinite and unknown future.
