In the direction slightly north of the east, there was a peanut-sized brown dot on the azure sea.
With his keen vision, Colin discerned that it was a brown triangular-sailed boat.
From the appearance of the deck, it was also not difficult to tell that this was a coastal fishing vessel.
Without much hesitation, he slowly lowered his altitude and decisively flew towards the fishing boat.
In this world, such fishing boats were not suitable for ocean voyages…
It appearing here at this moment meant that there must be an island nearby for it to dock!
Before long, when the fishing boat was about a nautical mile away,
Colin stopped midair, dispelled the Light Flame Soaring Skill, and let gravity pull him down.
Near the sea surface, he imbued himself with the Flying and Diving Skill and dove into the water.
The entire process stirred up only a small splash, like a fish entering the water.
As for Nasi…
Once the Flying and Diving Skill reached the water, it spontaneously formed a bubble of air around him, sufficiently enveloping tiny Nasi within it.
In this manner, Colin concealed his body and stealthily approached the fishing boat.
The waves rolled heavily, and he silently clung to the side of the boat, cautiously controlling his field of vision to envelop only the fishing boat, then entered a supersensitive state.
On the vast sea, Supersensitive Vision could not be entered so easily.
However, during the day it was relatively manageable, as long as one didn't continually stare at the vast sea, and as long as one wasn't particularly unlucky to encounter some unknown entities, one generally wouldn't encounter trouble.
"It's time to learn some non-scanning detection witchcraft… like visual or olfactory ones," Colin thought subconsciously.
His Detecting Three Abilities witchcraft, derived from synthetic materials, whether it be Detect Magic Power or Detect Life, worked on the principle of emitting a special "wave" and then judging the detection based on the received feedback.
Thus, the principle of Detecting Three Abilities was the same, only that the emitted waves were more complex, having a more comprehensive detection ability without increasing the consumption of Magic Power excessively.
However, such detection witchcraft had one clear disadvantage—these emitted "waves" could possibly be perceived.
So, although the triangular-sailed boat currently under observation was merely a fishing vessel with crew members most likely being ordinary people, possessing at most some Knight Cultivation,
to be cautious, he still chose to use Supersensitive Vision for less detectable observation.
As Colin's thoughts moved, the originally azure sky in his view suddenly turned gray-white, and countless, varying-sized, black flocculent particles filled every place.
Whether it was the sky, the deck, or right in front of him, these "Tainted babbles" composed of twisting insect-like black dots were everywhere.
Already accustomed to such a sight under Supersensitive Vision, Colin's bright human nature and knowledge as Spiritual Light resolutely repelled the black dots from coming closer.
He calmly turned his head, carefully observing the deck in front of him.
'Indeed… This is most likely just an ordinary fishing boat.'
Moments later, Colin exited the supersensitive state and silently assessed in his mind.
Typically, under Supersensitive Vision, in addition to observing the drifting Tainted babblings of the world, one could also see Spirit Fog inherent in any life form or the Body Surface Light.
For wizards, because those below Advanced Wizard Apprentices had not yet dispelled their Spirit Fog, their bodies showed Spirit Fog as well.
In other words, if there was no use of disguise Witch Tools and Spirit Fog was still present on the body surface, then the strength was definitely below the level of an Advanced Wizard Apprentice.
At the moment, he swept across the deck, and his eyes saw only pale white Spirit Fog, with no presence of any Body Surface Light.
Of course… observing the deck was not enough.
Thus, Colin easily boarded the fishing boat using blind spots in the line of sight.
With his current strength, even without the Invisible Shadow's concealment, relying solely on his swift speed, ultra-fast responses, and Superbrain, he could calculate the blind spots and choose the right moment like an invisible person, moving around the boat as if it were uninhabited.
Not to mention that he now had the help of the Invisible Shadow.
The observation abilities of untrained ordinary people were worse than they imagined.
Approximately five minutes later, Colin had thoroughly inspected the entire fishing boat.
There were eighteen people on board, all below the level of higher apprentices, none of whom posed a threat to him.
Having completed this, Colin walked onto the deck and went into the captain's room.
Standing next to the empty sea-chart table by the cabin window were two figures.
Colin found a corner where the surrounding environment wouldn't change and quietly stood there waiting.
The reason Invisible Shadow couldn't hide a moving target was not because the target was moving, but mainly because the surroundings of the target were changing.
As the environment changed, the corresponding angles of light bending needed adjustment, which the Invisible Shadow simply couldn't adjust quickly enough, thus giving itself away.
'So… if the ability of the Invisible Shadow to swiftly change the bending angle of light could be enhanced, perhaps its shortcomings could be remedied?' Colin thought subconsciously.
Whether it was a psychological effect or not, but ever since wearing the Crown of Enlightenment, such insights occasionally sparked in his mind...
Slightly shaking his head, Colin composed his thoughts and focused his attention on the two individuals who seemed to be looking at the scenery through the cabin window.
