Donning the epic armor, Jacob wore his mask, and the next moment, he stowed away the epic ship and directly splashed into the cold ocean.
Jacob's plan was quite simple. Since those guys were blocking the surface, he should just go past them from underwater!
Furthermore, it would also increase the chances of him being detected by their radars, and he can already hold his breath underwater for hours, so it was his best option to escape their trap safely.
However, Jacob soon found just how wrong he was when he had been. When he was swimming like an agile fish in the six-hundred-meter depth of the stat ocean, he was stopped because he found there were small submarines patrolling the underwater.
'Since I can think of this, then why not them?' Jacob bitterly thought as he was forced to enter even more deep water.
The Star Ocean was simply too deep, and during his voyage, Jacob once tried to use the Art of Nature, but he was shocked to discover that he couldn't find the ocean bed even after diving three to four miles into it.
This instantly made him drop that notion, and he returned since the deeper he went, the darker the star ocean became like an abyss, not to mention chilly and a feeling of unknown hidden danger.
However, right now, Jacob's situation is quite special. He didn't want to alert Lucy of his arrival and silently entered the epic plains and kept a low profile.
As Jacob dived deeper, the colder and darker the water became while pressure was also rising, which was not a concern of Jacob right now.
After diving for over 1500 feet, Jacob moved forward again, but after he moved for about fifty meters, he suddenly spotted a faint glow, and he knew the enemy was also patrolling this depth as well.
However, this time, he didn't spot more than five lights which also meant he was getting further away from their patrolling area and decided to go even deeper.
However, when Jacob was over 2200 feet deep into the ocean, he was surprised when he suddenly bumped into a hard surface, and upon focusing, he saw he was at the ocean bed!
'Don't tell me the ocean around the plains has a definite depth while the star ocean out of the star ocean boundary is either depthless or simply too deep for others to explore. No wonder they called these oceans around the plains with the plain name…' The more Jacob thought, the more he thought it made sense.
Still, this didn't mean he was out of the woods. Although he hadn't spotted any patrols around this place, he couldn't be sure. Furthermore, he has to be mindful of getting attacked by some ocean creature, and the chances of it happening on the ocean bed are even greater.
Jacob then swims a few meters above the ocean bed and moves forward again.
ραΠdαsΝοvεl.cοm On the ocean surface, within the main ship of the bank fleet, the Bronze Barbarian named Wilder, who was the captain of this ship as well as the overseer of the task handed to him by the Bank Manager Lucy, was practicing a special fighting technique in a training room.
At this moment, the metal door of the training facility slid open, and another Bronze Barbarian appeared with a solemn expression.
Wilder stopped his punch and looked toward the entrance, and smiled, seeing the other barbarian, "Mayson, do you have something for me?"
Mayson nodded with a solemn expression on his tattooed face as he spoke respectfully in his raspy voice, "Captain Wilder, our senses scattered in the ocean bed just sent an unusual signal back. There seems to be a movement!"
Wilder's eyes flashed with coldness, "Do you think it's our target or some ocean beast?"
"It's hard to say, but our men have cleared every such creature in our perimeter, and if it comes from the epic plains side, the sensors would also trigger from that side, but the sensor has triggered from the other side, which is the red zone.
"So, we have to take it seriously, even if it's just a stray. We have to kill it to make sure no one goes past us without our knowledge. The Bank Manager's instructions were quite clear about this exact point." Mayson solemnly replied.
Wilder nodded in approval, "I can always count on you, Mayson. You never lost sight of our goal, and that's why I trust your judgment the most. This time we can't mess up even for a moment, or we'll suffer a terrible fate. Send our killer subs to investigate, and whatever is crawling in that place, I want it killed and its body delivered to me by the end of the day!"
Mayson solemnly nodded, "I shall see to it myself!"
He then quickly left toward the command center to follow up on the captain's order post hastily.
Wilder couldn't help but sigh ruefully after Mayson left and the door was closed again. He muttered with a depressed expression, "Just what in the world is the Bank Manager guarding against? She put so many resources into it, and with the trial looming overhead at that. Isn't she afraid that the Bank would question her if they found out all those resources were being used on her personal ventures?"
In the end, he smiled bitterly, "Who I'm kidding? That old fox always has ten countermeasures in place for such occasions. I should feel pity for whoever has offended her…"
Jacob swam for about fifteen minutes without finding any patrols. But instead of getting confidence and relief, he was getting impatience and feeling a strange unease.
Because when he thought about how those guys were patrolling the depth of the oceans, why would they leave the ocean bed alone?
Jacob then thought about something, and the bronze disc appeared right under his feet. He activated its stealth, and his speed also increased quite a lot.
As for why he didn't use it on the surface, it was because, according to his estimate, this disc was only a Basic Epic Grade, and those guys would clearly have measures for such objects as well.
So, going under the ocean gave him a fair chance, and with this darkness, the stealth of this disc was even more flawless.
Just as he took out the bronze disc and activated it for about two minutes, he suddenly spotted many faint lights coming right in his direction!
