Cave Refuge

Zachary had never expected that this object could not only be preserved until now but also transform into something akin to a rare oddity.

The reason he considered it an oddity was that, looking at the energy continuously emanating from it, by logic, even just considering the time since the flood had hit, the energy stored inside should have long since dissipated. Yet seeing its body still releasing energy, there must have been some unknown changes to the object.

However, this object wasn't like an oddity in that it could not ignore the scanning of Divine Sense. Moreover, Zachary thought that even among the Martial Artists from Rabbit's Home with strong physical qualities of Body Cultivation,

he estimated that their bodily strength wouldn't suffice for prolonged use of this object; refining it completely might even be somewhat challenging.

But no matter how incomprehensible the object was, it must have had an inseparable connection to everyone's enormous bodies.

Since the object was now in Zachary's hands, abandoning it was definitely out of the question. Although Zachary thought over and over again and didn't want to send it into the Cave to try and decompose it, after much consideration, he still took it into the Storage Space.

As raw material for a Nuclear Peacemaker Envoy, ordinary people would have problems just by getting close. Animals and plants that stayed within the radiation range for long periods would, over time, have their genes affected, leading to uncontrollable mutations in their bodies.

Actually, Zachary also wanted to take that object into the Cave to decompose it, because although he didn't know the original size of that fellow, being able to cause such massive creatures to mutate also showed it had extraordinary effects.

After storing the object, similar to an oil drum, in the Storage Space, Zachary used Divine Sense again to repeatedly scan the underground surroundings. Once he was sure nothing was missed, he collected the White Bone Puppet into the Three Flags and controlled the Companion Spiritual Treasure to leave the area.

By now, Zachary had explored two dangerous areas marked on the tablet. Although he encountered different situations in each, the ultimate gains were still very satisfying to him.

When Zachary was manipulating the Companion Spiritual Treasure to rise to the surface, preparing to switch to the Wave Rider to continue on, he suddenly discovered a Dragon Siphon connecting to the sky not far ahead.

The so-called Dragon Siphon at sea is actually a water spout, which is different from the tornadoes on land mainly composed of air. When a water spout occurs at sea, it rotates with the seawater.

From a distance, a water spout resembles a straw inserted by the heavens into the water, and the columns of water drawn up by the tornado appear as if something in the sky is drinking through a straw.

Because this scene is quite similar to drinking with a straw, the tornadoes that happen at sea have their own special name: Dragon Siphon.

Since it can draw up seawater, the probability of a Dragon Siphon occurring at sea is even lower than that of tornadoes forming on land. Compared to storms at sea, it's even rarer.

However, if you encounter a storm at sea, you can rely on the sturdiness of the ship to endure the violent storm with brute force. But if you actually face a Dragon Siphon, unless you move away early to avoid its range,

once you're drawn into the sky, no matter how sturdy the ship is, it's almost impossible to avoid destruction. After all, once affected by a Dragon Siphon and sent into the sky, the sturdier the ship, the stronger the impact when it falls from the sky, and the higher the probability of being damaged.

However, regarding the Dragon Siphon in the distance, Zachary wasn't too concerned. After all, first, the natural disaster was far from his position. Even if the Wave Rider did get close to the Dragon Siphon's area of influence, Zachary believed it could easily escape its effects.

Just as Zachary was observing the distant Dragon Siphon, he suddenly noticed that, unbeknownst to him, whirlwinds had started forming on the water's surface not far from the Wave Rider.

Looking at the gradually expanding whirlwind nearby, Zachary suddenly felt an ominous premonition.

As the whirlwind began to draw in seawater to form a column, Zachary's uneasy feeling intensified.

However, at that moment, Zachary didn't resign himself to fate. No matter how powerful a Dragon Siphon became after its formation, it was quite feeble at the beginning, and destroying it was fairly simple.

Watching the growing column of water nearby, Zachary directly maneuvered the Wave Rider to crash into it. Then, he kept the Wave Rider stationary at the spot where the column had first appeared, using the ship's body as a barrier to prevent the winds from mingling, eliminating the essential condition for the formation of a tornado.

As the Wave Rider smashed the slowly growing column of water, the impending natural disaster, the Dragon Siphon at sea, was simply dissolved by Zachary's actions.

Unfortunately, man proposes but God disposes. Even though Zachary successfully destroyed an initial state of a small tornado, he did not expect that several more miniature tornadoes would form around him.

Normally, given the strict conditions required to form a tornado, it's not possible for multiple tornadoes to exist in the same area.
