Chapter 65: Use of Explosives

At dawn, as the first light of the sun began to softly illuminate the beach, Johan walked along the shore, his eyes constantly searching for clues that might explain the strange behavior of the Fish-men. The sea breeze carried a salty aroma, while the waves rhythmically crashed against the beach. Johan's mind was racing with various possibilities.

It was a puzzle that kept Johan pondering. His steps were slow but steady, his eyes scanning every corner of the beach for something unusual. As he walked further, he noticed something that caught his attention. A small cave, naturally formed by the waves, was hidden behind some large rocks.
