Ye Feng, standing beside them, felt his body tremble at these words, a feeling he couldn't quite describe welling up within him.
"Amitabha! Thank you, Sea God! Thank you, Sea God!"
"We forgot to worship the Sea God before setting sail today. It must be the Sea God trying to scare us!"
"Yes, yes, we must properly worship the Sea God when we get back!"
The others on the boat chimed in.
Seeing their reverent postures, Ye Feng couldn't help but offer a wry smile.
In the past, fishermen believed in the legends of the Sea God and would offer sacrifices before each voyage.
However, over the past decade or so, pollution and overfishing had led to the decline of the fishing industry, and many had forgotten these maritime customs.
"Boss Xiao, shall we continue forward?" Captain Zhou asked after steadying the ship's course.
Boss Xiao hesitated upon hearing this.
The previous incident had been too terrifying, and his heart still hadn't calmed down. He couldn't make up his mind.
"Perhaps we should turn back! What if we encounter another storm like that? It would be terrible!" Captain Zhou suggested, seeing Boss Xiao's indecision.
Truth be told, he was the one having second thoughts.
However, Ye Feng spoke up, "It should be fine now. The giant waves have passed, and we're almost at our destination. We can't give up halfway!"
Hearing Ye Feng's words, everyone looked at him in surprise.
They remembered Ye Feng had previously advised against proceeding, warning that the weather might change.
Who would have thought the weather would actually turn, with dark clouds gathering, strong winds blowing, and monstrous waves crashing...
The memory still sent shivers down their spines. Now, hearing Ye Feng suggest they continue, they all looked at him curiously.
Boss Xiao stared intently at him, making Ye Feng feel a little self-conscious.
"Is there something on my face?" Ye Feng asked with a smile.
Boss Xiao shook his head. "No! Brother Ye Feng, how did you know the weather was going to change just now?"
"Yeah! How did you know the weather would change?" Xiao Feifei also stepped forward, looking at Ye Feng curiously. She couldn't understand how he knew.
"Uh, well, intuition!" he replied casually, brushing it off.
Everyone was speechless at his answer. Could intuition be that accurate?
"Hmph! I thought you had some special ability to predict the weather! Turns out it was just a fluke!" Captain Zhou scoffed.
"You..." Ye Feng was utterly speechless.
He actually did have the ability, but he couldn't reveal it. Otherwise, he might be captured for dissection and research.
Furthermore, Ye Feng noticed that Captain Zhou always seemed to have it out for him. He had just saved them, and yet the captain was so ungrateful.
"What do you mean, 'you'? Maybe your jinx brought on those giant waves!" Captain Zhou sneered.
Ye Feng replied, "Fine, say whatever you want!"
However, Boss Xiao then said, "Haha! It's good that everyone is safe! Brother Ye Feng, do you think we can continue forward now?"
Captain Zhou frowned when he saw Boss Xiao asking Ye Feng, "Boss Xiao, you don't actually believe his nonsense, do you? He just got lucky earlier."
"Sometimes luck is part of skill!" Boss Xiao replied.
Captain Zhou was furious but couldn't say anything more, as Ye Feng had indeed predicted the weather change correctly.
Boss Xiao then looked at Ye Feng earnestly, awaiting his answer, which puzzled everyone, including Ye Feng himself.
Seeing Boss Xiao's serious expression, Ye Feng felt a little guilty but still answered, "It should be fine!"
Upon hearing Ye Feng's words, Boss Xiao seemed to relax considerably and said, "Alright then, let's continue!"
In the blink of an eye, half an hour passed, and they finally reached their intended location.
"This should be about the spot!" Captain Zhou stopped the boat and said.
Ye Feng, Boss Xiao, and the others began to look around. They found that there were indeed many fish in this area, but they didn't see the tuna they were looking for.
Their current location was in the East China Sea, a vast subtropical water region where tuna were known to inhabit.
Although Captain Zhou irked him, he had to admit that the man was quite skilled and had a good understanding of tuna behavior.
But strangely, after searching all around them, they couldn't find any tuna nearby.
"Huh? That's odd! Why aren't there any? We always encounter them here! Although we don't catch many, we always see schools of tuna!" Captain Zhou exclaimed.
Boss Xiao wasn't worried. "It's alright, let's cruise around here a bit more. We might run into them later!"
"Okay!" Captain Zhou agreed and continued to steer the boat around the area.
Seeing that they hadn't found any tuna for a long time, Ye Feng shook his head helplessly and muttered to himself, "Let me take a look then! Underwater detection!"
He closed his eyes, activated the Sea God's Trident, and then suddenly opened his eyes. In the next second, he was startled and his eyes widened in immense joy.
Because he discovered that the range of his underwater detection had greatly increased. What was previously limited to a hundred meters now allowed him to see the seabed within approximately three hundred meters of him. This made him incredibly excited.
"This must be because I've cultivated the second layer of the Sea God's cultivation technique and absorbed the second layer of Sea God power, which has enhanced this detection ability," Ye Feng mused to himself.
Having understood this, Ye Feng began to utilize this ability, taking in everything within three hundred meters of him underwater.
The flow of the water, the gathering and scattering of fish schools, the swaying of underwater grass... everything was so clear. The feeling was simply amazing.
As Captain Zhou steered the boat in a circle, Ye Feng scanned everything within three hundred meters of the seabed, but he found no trace of tuna.
However, just as Captain Zhou was about to make another round, Ye Feng spoke up directly, "No need to circle anymore. There are no tuna around here! Let's head further out to sea!"
But Captain Zhou completely disbelieved Ye Feng. "What nonsense are you spouting, kid? We always encounter plenty of tuna around here! If you don't understand, don't spout nonsense!"
Hearing this, Ye Feng let out a scoff. "I'm spouting nonsense? What if there aren't any?"
"Heh! How could that be? If there aren't any, I'll quit being a captain and never go fishing again!" Captain Zhou declared confidently.
Ye Feng smiled at this. "Alright, you said it!"
However, Captain Zhou then added, "But what if there are?"
Ye Feng replied, "If you find tuna around here, then I'll stop fishing from now on!"
