In order to become a Heroic Spirit, I had no choice but to cause trouble in history.

How do you explain this child?

“My suggestion is to retrieve and analyze the demigod Oceanus, and even the goddess Doris, to analyze the details of his body and the key to his birth.” Hermes looked at Poseidon seriously. “Of course, you are also key to Oceanus’s birth. I suggest you awaken your memory units from that time to recall the details and find any omissions.”

"I've watched that video countless times, but I can't find it. There's nothing special about it. As for my goddess Doris—"

He picked up a stack of documents next to him: "My physical data and the special measurement data when I was pregnant with Ou Shen are all here."

"And the conclusion?" Hermes took the documents and asked as he read them.

“Nothing special about it,” Poseidon sighed.

If he weren't worried that Ocean's valuable successful experimental case would lead to a complete falling out with him, he would have already captured Doris for dissection and research.

Or we could conduct another experiment on the birth of life. If a mother can succeed the first time, there's no reason why she can't succeed the second time.

"Let's not talk about that now. Since you and the goddess Doris are both fine, the problem likely lies with the demigod Oceanus himself. He's special, isn't he? I'll have the great god examine Oceanus when I have the chance." Hermes skipped over the topic. "I heard you found a new kind of powerful magical beast?"

“It’s not a new species, but it’s powerful enough,” Poseidon said with a smile. “It’s just a whale that was transformed into a magical beast by a spiritual vein.”

Hermes immediately lost interest.

He stood up and stretched his neck: "Well then, I'll return to the Great Altar of Dodon first, and report to the Great God about my suggestion regarding the demigod Oceanus."

"Hmm." Poseidon nodded and watched Hermes leave.

......

"Hey!" Oshin twirled the bowstring and shot out a stream of water arrows.

Although both Sea Bow and Ocean have been weakened on land, it doesn't change the fact that Ocean can still roam freely in the forest.

The hunting party has now split into two teams.

Liliana led a team to search for ordinary prey in the forests they had already explored.

Meanwhile, Oshin, Jimia, and Luslan formed a separate team and headed towards the distance.

All three of them are very strong, including Ruslan.

Oshen is a demigod, the son of the sea god; Jimia is born with a mutation, making him much stronger than ordinary people.

Ruslan was merely a mortal being.

However, Ruslan's training volume was the highest among the three.

The almost non-stop training allowed Luslan to barely keep up with Jimia's pace, although he could not truly catch up with an absurd demigod like Oshen.

Luslan is now sixteen years old and taller than Liliana, but he is almost done growing.

In contrast, Ou Shen—

Oshin is ten years old this year and is already about the same height as Liliana.

As for Miya... he's a monster, don't compare him to him.

The three people moved quickly through the deep forest.

“Oshen, do you feel anything?” Luslan asked.

As Oshin grew up, his five senses became increasingly acute due to his divine power, and he became very sensitive to magic.

During the exploration, Ou Shen relied on his senses to find the presence of various magical beasts.

After discussing with Liliana, Doris, and a few others, it was decided that the Doris tribe might have another way of hunting in the future—that is, long-term hunting.

They set up makeshift bases outside and conducted hunting trips that lasted more than a day.

This idea is still in the conceptual stage, but Ocean intends to implement it sooner or later.

The water flowed out of nowhere, and Ou Shen quietly sensed it.

"No findings have been made yet."

Chapter 494 The Strange Things in the Forest

“Strange… I don’t sense any magical beasts around here.” Oshen scratched the back of his head.

"Could we have gone back to a cleared area?" Ruslan asked.

Jimia sniffed and shook her head: "No, we're heading due north, and we've never been there before."

"That's strange. Why are there no magical beasts in such a large area?" Ou Shen stroked the bow of the sea bow while looking around.

The towering trees are all over ten meters tall, blocking out the sun, with only a few scattered rays of sunlight leaking through the gaps in the leaves, like a golden rain.

"It's probably noon now. Let's eat something first, and then move on." Miya took the package tied to her back, loosened the rope, and took out two pieces of dried meat.

Ocean and Ruslan took the hard jerky and began to chew it.

All of them had excellent teeth; they could even chew tree bark directly.

“Hey, Oshen, about that idea you came up with before,” Luslan swallowed the jerky and waved his hand, “have you considered this problem?”

"What's the problem?" Oshin took a sip of water and looked at Ruslan.

"Won't the campsites and markers we set up in the wild be easily erased by monsters or something? Will we have to rebuild the campsites then?"

Jimia also looked at Oshin, who had the same question.

“Actually, it’s not necessary.” Oshin put another piece of jerky into his mouth, making a sound like bones breaking as he chewed. “Why don’t we just kill all the monsters on the island?”

"Huh?" Luslan and Jimia were both stunned.

“What I mean is, if we make sure there are no monsters on the island, then as long as we use sturdy materials, our camp won’t be wiped out soon, right?” Oshin explained in more detail.

"This... I don't seem to have any reason to refute it." After thinking for a long time, Luslan spread his hands.

“I’m thinking, let’s not bother with any temporary campsites,” Oshin said, making a gesture of embracing the blue sky. “Let’s build a stable and sturdy large campsite. This island isn’t small, and it’s kind of boring to always live on that high ground by the sea. It’s also hard to escape tsunamis. If we could move to the inside of the island, wouldn’t we be able to avoid disasters by the sea? Besides, the sea is dangerous, and food production isn’t as stable as on land…”

Jimia glanced at Luslan, then at the incessantly talking Oshin, and asked softly, "Brother, can you understand me?"

Luslan shook his head: "As long as he's happy."

Anyway, I don't need to worry about these things. Let the chieftain and Aunt Kora worry about them.

Ou Shen stopped eating and looked at his two good brothers who had almost finished their jerky.

Hey! You two! Leave some for me!

......

High above the clouds.

"Lord Zeus, what are the results of your observations?" Hermes stood beside Zeus.

Compared to the tall and imposing Zeus, Hermes' human form appears somewhat small.

Zeus restrained his power and did not affect the surrounding environment.

As a flagship and a great god, Zeus also possesses his own unique abilities.

That is—the thunder that tears everything apart.

If Zeus hadn't restrained himself, the entire sky would probably have been transformed into a roaring sea of ​​thunder.

"【Demigod Oceanus】has not yet fully matured. According to my observations..." Zeus's eyes flashed with white light, as dazzling as thunder. "At present, Oceanus is not worth dissecting and studying. Only when Oceanus grows into an adult will it truly be worth studying."

“Is that so? Then please continue to leave the observation of the growth period to me.” Hermes bowed slightly with impeccable manners.

Zeus nodded. Hermes was a god he trusted greatly, even more so than some of the chief gods.

Riding on his thunderbolts, Zeus did not linger in that place and left the skies above Doris Island.

Hermes was left alone, looking down with a complicated expression.

Its neural unit complexity is outstanding among all ships.

This means that Hermes had more thought and more wisdom.

What exactly is his opinion of the demigod Oceanus?

......

"What exactly is going on up north?" Ou Shen stroked his chin in confusion. "We've traveled so far and haven't seen a single animal hair, let alone any magical beasts."

It's already afternoon, and it's almost time for the three of them to return.

The three of them were not just accumulating points along the way, but also marking the route and drawing maps. There was a lot of work to be done.

“Something’s definitely not right in the north of the island…” Luslan said with a serious expression. “Oshen, Jimia, have you noticed that the vegetation here is much sparser and the trees are shorter than where we went before?”

Ou Shen looked up, his expression grave: "Indeed..."

"Let's explore this place again tomorrow. It'll get dark soon if we don't go back now," Kiyaya said sullenly.

He was a little hungry.

Jimia was huge and consumed the most energy; almost half of the jerky he brought at noon ended up in his stomach.

"How dare you say that!" Ou Shen pointed at Jimia, his voice trembling. "You two bastards didn't even leave me anything! I'm the one who's starving right now!"

Around noon, he was explaining his ideas, and then the two of them ate the jerky with gusto.

There's only a bag of scraps left at the bottom.

"Who told you to keep babbling on and on?" Luslan gave a strange smile. "Don't talk while eating or sleeping, little brat."

"You, you guys!" Ou Shen looked at the grinning Luslan and Jimia and felt his blood pressure rise.

The key issue is that he can't refute it yet. He's only ten years old, Jimia is fourteen, and Luslan is the oldest, already sixteen.

He really is a little brat.

"Alright, let's hurry home. Want to have a race to see who can run the fastest without climbing a tree?" Luslan asked eagerly.

"Go ahead and compete, you bastard!" Ou Shen's face was contorted with veins. "If you lose, you're just a little brat."

"Wait a moment, you two. I'll finish marking this." Kimia was setting up simple scent markings on the ground.

It was made with fish blood. The smell of sea fish blood would be very jarring on land. In addition, Miya had a very good nose, so the group continued their day's activities in this way.

After marking the spot, Jimia returned and tied up her backpack.

“I’ll count to three, and then we’ll begin.” Ruslan held up three fingers.
