Su Chen looked at their eager expressions and didn''t hide anything, saying,


    "This is also quite simple, mainly focusing on the cloudyers. I know the weather here is extremely unpredictable, so I have been observing the clouds and the sea surface. Through the changes in the cloudyers, one can roughly make predictions."


    Although Su Chen''s exnation sounded simple, the knowledge it epassed was quite profound. They had studied meteorology and still hadn''t grasped it.


    "What did you want me to use that balloon for?"


    Guan Zhihui continued to ask; he had always been unclear about what Su Chen intended for the balloon.


    "This is even simpler: the balloon is used to further confirm whether there is a storm, as observing the clouds is just a guess and can sometimes be inurate."


    Su Chen nced at the few people and said,


    "Due to the friction and impact between the peaks of the strong winds and huge waves, a type of low-frequency sound wave is generated. These sound waves travel faster than the wind and waves. Although human ears cannot directly hear them, a balloon filled with hydrogen can resonate due to these low sound waves, creating vibrations. The amplitude and strength of these vibrations put pressure on the eardrums of those close to the hydrogen balloon, causing a sensation of vibration. The closer the storm, the clearer this sensation."


    "So that''s how it works!"


    Upon hearing his exnation, everyone suddenly had a moment of realization!

    Once again, they held Su Chen in incredibly high regard. Not only was this young man formidable in his cultivation, but he also seemed outstanding in other aspects!


    However, what Su Chen didn''t mention was that because of his advanced cultivation realm, his sensory abilities were far stronger than those of ordinary people, which is why he was able to detect those nearly imperceptible vibrations so much earlier!


    Even for Guan Zhihui, who was at the Ninth Layer of Qi Refinement, the earliest he could perceive them was half an hour beforehand!


    When the storm passed parallel to them, although they were far enough from the storm''s centre, they still felt the strong turbulence of the ship!


    "Now we can have Guan Xin change the direction and continue moving straight ahead!"


    As they were almost reaching Dsen Ind, Su Chen finally put his worries to rest and instructed.


    After these events, everyone waspletely convinced by Su Chen, sincerely admiring him from the bottom of their hearts!


    .....


    By the next day''s early morning, Su Chen and his group finally arrived at that small ind!


    It was a small ind of about thirty to forty square kilometers. From afar, the vegetation seemed quite lush, covering roughly half its area.


    Afternding on the ind, they temporarily didn''t encounter anyone else, but of course, they didn''t believe they were the first to arrive.


    Among the major countries, Huaxia was one of the farthest from this location.


    "Mr. Su, haven''t wee toote? Has the material already been taken by other countries?"


    Guan Zhihui walked beside Su Chen, asking with some concern.


    "Since we''re here, let''s first take a look,"


    Su Chen gently said, harboring the same worry in his heart: if there really were such materials, they had likely already been taken by those who arrived earlier.


    This was an inevitable situation determined by the geographic positions of the countries.


    Moreover, Qin Ming had specifically gone to Jianghai to invite him, and it had taken several hours. Unfortunately, they had encountered a storm the previous evening, which dyed them for a few more hours, so it was inevitable that they would arrivete.


    Su Chen and hispanions immediately walked deeper into the ind. After about half an hour, they finally discovered a pce behind a small grove.


    When they saw the pce, Su Chen was still somewhat surprised.


    He had always been skeptical about the information Qin Ming had shared, but unexpectedly, on this small ind, there really was such a pce!


    Although the pce now looked quite dpidated, some details still revealed its former grandeur and splendor!


    In front of that pce, there were three tents, marked respectively with the symbols of America, Find, and the Ind Country.


    Su Chen and hispanions were immediately surprised. Had only three countries arrived so far?


    Wasn''t that too few? Including them, that made only four!


    As footsteps sounded, people from the American and Ind Country tents quickly emerged, but there was no movement from the Finnish tent.


    The leader from the American side was a young man dressed in a wine-red suit, wearing deep brown leather shoes, with his hair meticulouslybed.


    The men behind him were all explosively muscr, exceptionally tall, with the shortest probably also being about one meter ny!


    Seeing that young man, Su Chen couldn''t help but want tough. Was this guy mistaking this for an international banquet with such shy attire?


    However, considering he had been sent by the powerful America to lead, Su Chen didn''t dare to be careless, though he could tell at a nce what those men behind him were all about.


    Undoubtedly, these men practiced hard martial arts, somewhat simr to Huaxia''s Horizontal Training Method!


    You should never underestimate this kind of martial arts. When mastered to the extreme, it is very, very powerful!


    Leading the group from the Ind Country was a middle-aged man around forty years old, followed by men also in their thirties and forties, all dressed in uniform white training outfits!


    "Friends from Huaxia Country, you''vee too!"


    Seeing Su Chen and his group, both the Americans and the people from the Ind Country came up enthusiastically, as if they were very eager for their arrival.


    This made Su Chen and hispanions quite puzzled because they were here topete for special materials!


    At this moment, representatives of these two countries weing them warmly could only make Su Chen and hispanions more cautious!


    There''s something fishy when things don''t seem normal!


    However, for now, Su Chen didn''t point anything out and nonchntly greeted them back.


    After some simple exchanges, Su Chen also learned the identities of those two leaders; the one leading from America turned out to be a prince named John, and the leader from the Ind Country was named Chuan Ye, head of a certain sect in the Ind Country!


    At the same time, Su Chen and hispanions were also curious as to why they hadn''t tried to retrieve that material and transport it back quickly, which didn''t make sense!


    "Gentlemen, wasn''t it said that the material is inside the pce? Why haven''t you gone in to check it out?"


    Su Chen casually asked.


    "Ah, we went in early and had a look, but unfortunately, we didn''t find it,"


    Prince John sighed.


    "Yes, we also searched for a few hours and came up empty-handed,"


    Chuan Ye, the leader from the Ind Country, added, then turned to Su Chen:


    "How about this, we join you again to take another look? Your Huaxia culture is profound and extensive; perhaps you might find some clues."


    "Right, maybe we could also benefit from it if the special material is indeed found; sharing it wouldn''t be an issue."


    Prince John said with a friendly smile on his face.


    "Alright, let''s go in and have a look together then."


    Su Chen casually nodded, pretending not to notice the gleam in the two men''s eyes…
