The Taoist ancestor is Cthulhu

Daozu is Cthulhu Chapter 255 Seabed Ore

Li Fan looked at the map and then at the sky. The second sea area where sea monsters were marked on the mission was not far away. Thinking about the IQ of the 'Ying Jade Dual Experts' just now, I felt that I couldn't rely too much on it, so just in case, Shuidun went over to check it out.

Of course, the escape method is much faster than water control, and Li Fan rushed to the front without any suspense, and was the first to discover the mutated monster in the second sea area.

At first glance, this thing looks like a stone giant on the bottom of the sea, similar to an elemental creature. It is a huge pile of stones gathered together, and it looks like a huge thing moving on the bottom of the sea like a human being.

But Li Fan used the method of blind inspection to check carefully and saw the details.

This should be a mollusk such as sea anemones. It gathers on the corpse of a monk who may be a monk to absorb nutrients. It continuously uses rocks, shellfish, minerals, and fish bones as shells to gradually gather into a humanoid mutant monster. That thing has the humanoid corpse inside as its core. The soft flesh of its body is buried deep in the crevices of the rock formations. It is protected by a hard shell and captures other sea beasts for food.

When Li Fan found the monster, it was moving to nearby islands and reefs. It seemed that it had also formed a habit of moonbathing regularly.

Li Fan was not in a hurry to eliminate the demon, and waited for a while. When 'Shuang Jue' arrived out of breath, he looked at the giant and felt a little palpitated for a moment, so he did not take action immediately.

So Li Fan didn't say much, smiled and waved to them, swung the speargun in front of them, and threw it out to pierce the core of the giant. The huge giant collapsed suddenly, and the broken tentacles were buried in the rubble. , twisted and twitched for a while and then couldn't move.

Then Li Fan pulled the chain with his hand, and the corpse of the monk at the core of the rock giant, together with the body of the soft monster attached to it, was forcefully pulled out. He grabbed it in his hand and tore the monster into pieces. Half.

"Damn! He actually got ahead of me!"

"The final round is next! Liuying, let's go!"

"Don't be proud! I won't let you get the upper hand this time!"

Unexpectedly, these two girls were actually very decisive. When they saw Li Fan grabbing the monster from a distance, they turned around and ran away without saying a word, "Bingyu! Come on!" "Liuying! Fight!" They cheered each other up and turned into The blue and red rays of light escaped through the water.

"Hey, hey! Just wait a moment..."

Li Fan was also speechless. He originally wanted to show off the huge strength gap between the two sides, give a few words of lecture, and persuade them to return to Penglai as soon as they had enough fun. Who knew that the other party turned around and ran away without saying a word.

Unable to catch up and reveal his escape method, Li Fan shook his head, stuffed the soft monster in his hand into his mouth and gnawed it, then rummaged under the rock bed, found out the remains of the demon fetus' tentacles and ate them, purifying the nearby sea area. It was almost time to look at it, and the last sea area infested by sea monsters on the map was in the East China Sea. It was too late for the two of them, who were exhausted, to leave for a day and then catch up. So they went ashore nearby and went to the rock giant where they originally wanted to take a moonbath. On the rocks, a heaven-respecting magic array was arranged, and then people worshiped the moon and practiced.

As soon as he opened and closed his eyes, Li Fan came from the boundless ocean to a deep purple rock field.

‘Li Fan’s mood has improved a bit’ xn

Li Fan could tell from the system prompts alone that the evil energy in this world was extremely abundant. Guixu Yuanying and Taisu Taoist felt as happy and comfortable as returning home. It could be seen with the naked eye that the rock formations on the ground were full of There are large and small purple crystals that obviously contain radiation. Looking up, you can see that the huge virtual moon that is almost close at hand illuminates everything purple. Maybe it's because the distance between the moon and the earth is so close.

Li Fan picked up a rock from the ground and examined it, then swept it out with his consciousness to confirm the surrounding illusion. Not far away from Tudun, we saw many rock giants that were hundreds of feet tall. Their outer shells were made of rock and their cores were made of crystal. They looked like humans, with arms and legs, and even holes on their faces, noses and eyes.

It seems that the soft-bodied sea monster observed the Tao bodies of these giants in dreams, and then imitated it in the real world, gathering rocks into human shapes and shaping its own shell.

Li Fan tried to get up close and feel the remains of these giants.

Yes, the remains, looking at them like this, you know that they may be some kind of life form, but now they are motionless, and judging from their postures, some are kneeling on the ground, as if they are suffering great pain, and some are showing their teeth and claws, as if they are mad with grief and anger. , in short, it is a purgatory-like path, just changing people into stones.

Li Fan reached out and took it out, broke off a purple crystal from the giant's eye socket, and tried to confirm it with his spiritual consciousness.

Well, you can’t be wrong. This crystal contains amazing Xuyue radiation. It may be the special life composition of these rock giants, which has become a natural container that can accommodate Xuyue energy. Li Fan held the crystal in his arms and placed it on the head of the rock giant. After sitting and practicing for a while, the Guixu True Yuan was fully stored!

Who would have thought that not only the East China Sea is rich, but the Taisu Realm on the East China Sea is also so suitable for cultivation? However, the radiation was a bit too strong. At this moment, his mood was rising little by little, and most people's sanity might not be able to withstand it.

So Li Fan repaired the Guixu Taoist robe that had been chopped off before, and took out Sinan, trying to find the 'fragments of genocide cause and effect' in this stone man's world.

He escaped for a while following the guidance of the spoon handle, and suddenly felt an obvious vibration! Regular, rhythmic vibration!

what happened? And living stone men?

Looking at Si Nan's direction, it was obvious that he was pointing in the direction of the source of the vibration.

To be cautious, Li Fan put on his Taoist robe, picked up the Invisibility Technique, and went over to check.

Then he saw it.

This is an open-pit mine, a typical spiral diamond mine with a diameter of at least a thousand feet and a depth of 500 feet. It is obviously artificial mining. There are clearly visible smooth and flat cuts on the pit wall. It is so large. The large-scale surface transformation has caused the planet's internal magnetic field and the air pressure above the surface to form a strong vortex. If a bird or even a small aircraft passes by, it may be sucked into the cave by this cyclone.

Li Fan just guessed and knew what was going on.

Who else could it be, the Divine Religion? Strictly speaking, it was probably the ‘legion’ behind the Divine Religion.

At the bottom of the mine, there is a huge eight-legged robot that looks like a bird-catching spider, which according to the system. The 'old-fashioned engineering drone that has been eliminated' is a replica of the drone that Li Fan snatched. Of course, the bottom one is much bigger, like a giant beast, constantly digging tunnels. There are some ordinary-sized spider engineers nearby, collecting, filtering and refining the mineral veins at the bottom of the planet excavated from the big spiders on site. A kind of green ore crystal is produced and stored in the abdomen. When it is full, it crawls into the belly of the big spider and packs it into boxes. The whole process was automatic, and I didn't see any sentries. I just didn't know if there were any satellites or mining ships in the sky.

Li Fan guessed while looking at the rock formations in the upper layer of the mine. The crystals in the stones above have been illuminated purple, but there are still green ones in the bottom layer. It seems that the core of the rock creatures on this planet is that kind of Green crystal, but the crystal will be affected by the radiation of the virtual moon and turn purple, which will naturally directly destroy the life core of those rock giants.

Li Fan was not in a hurry to go down and destroy the mineral veins of the 'Legion'. If you think about it carefully, you also know that such a large-scale mine cannot be built by just one person.

Coupled with the second on the list, the Blood Urn Divine Sword of the Divine Cult, now Li Fan suspects that among the Penglai Nine Palaces, there may be one sect, or even the core inner gate of the entire mountain, has been secretly taught by the Divine. The legion's apostle was given to Li Daitao, and he snatched it away!

If worshiping the moon near Penglai can directly connect to the Taisu world and collect these special mineral resources, it will definitely be worth the huge risk for the Legion to infiltrate. And looking at it this way, it makes sense that the three kingdoms of Gen, Xun, and Zhen, which are in Penglai's sphere of influence, were turned upside down by the divine religion!

Damn it, he actually sneaked into the Legion's lair...

System, how should I put it, do you want to give it a try?

"There's no rush. There's no need to alert the enemy."

"We have already recorded the crystal information and are waiting for the analysis results to come out. Let's see what this is."

Since the system said so, Li Fan's reconnaissance ends here and he will wake up and return to the Tai Chi world first.

Damn it, there are so many tasks here in Penglai... Various main and branch lines, making Li Fan a little confused as to where to start. And isn’t this a little too dangerous? Are there actually legion apostles among the inner sect masters in Penglai? It can’t be the manifested Taoist! Then there’s really no fun left!

‘Probably not. Although they have a first-mover advantage, you also know that practicing this kind of thing is not about who can live longer. Moreover, before the Taisu cultivation method came out, the leveling up was very slow. The people you killed were not younger than you. ’

'The models of the civilizations on both sides of us are different. Even the first batch of apostles, the probability of being able to cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage by themselves is very small. I think it should be the legion apostles and the higher-ups of the divine religion who carry out the training. Let’s have in-depth cooperation. ’

‘Anyway, don’t worry, the apostle alone shouldn’t be your opponent in a head-on fight. ’

‘But be careful. I don’t think I need to remind you. Once discovered, they will definitely have enough resources to eliminate the threat. ’

It's just a game of whoever is exposed first and who dies first.

But if Li Fan thinks about it, it's actually the same for the divine religion and the legion.

The higher-ups of Xuanmen, those big bosses who have transformed into gods and enlightened the Tao, should not have undercover agents from the sect. After all, the three major factions have been fighting for so long, and there will always be insiders and traitors. But to say that the head of Penglai is an undercover agent of the divine sect, the head of Emei is also an undercover agent of the divine sect, the entire Xuanmen is an undercover agent of the divine sect, and only Xuantian Sword Ancestor is fighting alone like a certain Qinjiu, isn't that nonsense? Regardless of whether it is a novel or a comic, if the plot is deliberately designed to create a shocking twist and is just like "in fact, everyone is an undercover", then the outline is probably really broken.

Therefore, at most, it is the undercover agents of the divine sect who took advantage of Xuanmen's selection mechanism. There may be one or two Yuanying masters who have penetrated into the outer sect, or even the core inner sect disciples.

Now Li Fan is sure that there is a traitor in the divine sect in Penglai to assist Asiba. It may be the person who fought with him yesterday, or it may be Xia Chengming, the second highest real palace on the list, but the possibility is not very high. After all, they are all These days, who doesn't know how to use a few moves of his opponent? Li Fan also knows how to use Blood Shadow Divine Walk. Xuantian's version! Therefore, it is not possible to judge the opponent's background with just one move of the Blood Barrel Divine Sword.

Of course, the other party had his arms cut off and his face cut open. Regardless of whether he was a traitor to the cult or not, he was probably an enemy...

Li Fan shook his head. He had no clue at the moment. Let's wait for the system to finish analyzing the minerals and see what kind of thing is worthy of the divine cult taking the risk to develop it under Penglai's nose.

Just as Li Fan finished cleaning up the magic circle, he was preparing to use water escape to chase the two stupid girls. Gu Guanfa noticed that an acquaintance was nearby.

It's Zhou Chengxue.

Hiss...why is this guy appearing nearby at this time? Could it be that...he is actually the undercover agent of the cult!

Li Fan was a little suspicious now, so he put on Guixu Taoist robes and sneaked over to investigate.

So Li Fan sneaked closer and followed Zhou Chengxue from behind to see if he was going to the secret base of some divine sect.

After wandering around with this guy for a whole day, I found Zhou Chengxue looking around here and there, as if he was just patrolling the sea. Finally, he landed on a cargo ship, chatted with the owner, and took a piece of green ore in his hand. !

Li Fan was shocked!

OK! I really caught you! I didn’t expect that Zhou Chengxue, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, is actually an undercover agent of the divine sect! I almost knocked you over. I thought you were just a piece of salted fish lying flat!

Just when Li Fan was sneaking over, preparing to grab the stolen goods, he saw Zhou Chengxue holding up the green crystal ore cut into six diamond pillars, shining it against the sun, and turned to ask the captain, "What is this? Where did you find it?" ?”

Eh?

The captain of the boat smiled and said, "I don't know. When we went into the sea to fish for pearls, we saw some spirits sneaking around nearby. We thought they had secretly raised shellfish nearby, so we went to look for them. In the end, we only found this shabby guy. Bag, you see, these spiritual jade are quite beautiful. They probably found them from the ruins and shipwreck somewhere."

Li Fan could tell at a glance that it was a large backpack coated with anti-detection paint by the Legion and used to carry equipment. It was filled with cut ore, emerald green, and about a hundred of them.

Zhou Chengxue looked at it, shook his head and said, "This is the first time I have seen this kind of jadeite in all my years in the East China Sea. It is so cleanly cut. But there is no spiritual energy in it, so it cannot be used as jade, it can only be regarded as a rare stone. , I’ll give you five hundred coins.”

The captain rubbed his hands and said, "Give me more Zhenhai. This gem is so beautiful and so rare. I'm sure they will like it if I make it into jewelry and give it to my wives and concubines."

Zhou Chengxue knocked on the crystal and wrote on it with his index finger, "You can't gather energy, and you can't put on talismans. It's heavy and hard, so only those monsters who like shiny things will collect it. Hum, the beastly nature will not change... …That’s all, eight hundred strings.”

The captain smiled happily and said, "Thank you, Master, for the reward."

Zhou Chengxue then casually collected the bag and started reading www. uukanshu． net said sternly, "Don't do this. Recently, the number of spirit oysters, pearls and corals you have handed over has become less and less. Don't always use spirit clan monsters as an excuse. I understand you, don't you understand me? If you keep doing this, I will give you money." Give it to me as an offering!"

The captain immediately said with a bitter face, "Oh, Master, this is really no small excuse. You also know that a big monster appears in that shell field. Every time you disperse it, it comes back to life in a few days. We don't dare to get close. Yes.

And I heard that there are also big demons in the outer sea. They come in groups, and many spirit tribes are driven here. They can swim on water, and there is nothing in the sea that can defeat them..."

Zhou Chengxue also had a headache, "Resurrection again? Did I just fight it a few days ago? Is there more than one? Could there be a hidden nest in the trench...

Okay, I understand. I will bring a few more helpers in a few days to clear this sea area. You should be careful. Alas, why are there so many monsters and monsters..."

Li Fan hesitated for a moment, and finally hid in the dark, watching Zhou Chengxue's retreating figure.

Are you pretending? Not necessarily. Looking at it this way, he really didn't recognize those mineral materials. Moreover, the spirit race...

If I'm not lying, it means that the Spiritual Race in the East China Sea has hooked up with the Divine Cult, taking advantage of their ability to travel through water to help the Divine Cult secretly transport the mined ore out to sea.

If you think about it carefully, maybe the soft stone monster's role is not only to drive away the surrounding fishermen, but maybe it is also responsible for transporting the mined ore out of the Taisu Realm, maybe elsewhere, under the jurisdiction of other Zhenhai real people. The sea also has these things.

But if it was started 'recently', then maybe this secret ore production line was only completed 'recently' for Axiba...

The Xun Kingdom, Zhen Kingdom, and Penglai were three great achievements.

Maybe this time I accidentally killed a business pacesetter...
