Daozu is Cthulhu

Chapter 255 Seabed Ore
Li Fan looked at the map and then at the sky. The second sea monster-infested area marked on the mission was not far away.Thinking about the IQ of the 'Yingyu Shuangjue' just now, I feel that I can't count too much on it. Just in case, Shui Dun went over to check it out.

Of course, the escape method is much faster than Yushui, and Li Fan rushed to the front without any suspense, and first discovered the monster that mutated 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, a huge pile of stones gathered together, moving like a human on the bottom of the sea.

But Li Fan checked carefully with the method of blind observation, and he saw the truth.

This should be a mollusc like sea anemone, gathering on the corpse of a monk to absorb nutrients, and constantly using reefs, shellfish, mining, and fish bones as shells to gradually gather a human-shaped mutant monster.The core of that thing is the humanoid corpse in the inner layer. The soft flesh of the main body is buried deep in the crevices of the rock formation, protected by a hard shell, and it captures other sea beasts for food.

When Li Fan found this monster, it was moving to nearby islands and reefs, and it seemed that it had formed a habit of sunbathing in the moon regularly.

Li Fan was not in a hurry to get rid of the demon, so he waited for a while, until the 'Shuangjue' arrived panting, looking at the giant, he felt a little palpitated for a while, and didn't act immediately.

So Li Fan didn't talk too much, smiled and waved at them, swung the spear gun in front of them, and threw it with one blow to pierce the giant's core. The gigantic giant collapsed, and the broken tentacles were buried in the gravel , twisted and twitched for a while, then couldn't move.

Then Li Fan pulled the chain, and the monk corpse at the core of the rock giant, together with the soft monster body attached to it, was forcibly torn out. Half.

"Damn it! It was actually preempted by him!"

"The next one is the deciding game! Liuying, let's go!"

"Don't be complacent! I won't let you take the lead this time!"

Unexpectedly, these two girls were also very decisive. Seeing Li Fan robbing the monster from a distance, they turned around and ran away without saying a word, "Bingyu! Come on!" "Liuying! Fight!" The blue and red escaped from the water and left.

"Hey, hey! Wait a minute..."

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

Unable to catch up to expose the escape method, Li Fan also shook his head, stuffed the soft monster in his mouth and gnawed it, then searched under the rock bed, found all the tentacles of the devil tire and ate them, purifying the nearby sea area, It was about the same time, and the last sea monster-infested sea area on the map was in the East China Sea. It was too late for the two of them to go for a day and then chase after exhausted, so they went ashore nearby, where the rock giant originally wanted to bask in the moonlight. On the reef, the Zuntian Magic Array was arranged, and then worshiped the moon to practice.

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

'Li Fan's mood has risen a bit' XN
From the system prompt, Li Fan can also see that the evil spirit in this world is extremely abundant, Guixu Yuanying and Taisu Taoist have a kind of joy and refreshment like returning home. You can see with the naked eye that the rock formations on the ground are full of evil spirits. Large and small purple crystals that obviously contain radiation can be seen when looking up, and the huge virtual moon, which 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 to check it out, then swept it out with his consciousness to confirm the illusion around him.Not far from Tudun, I saw many rock giants as high as hundreds of feet. Their shells are rocks, and their cores are crystals. They have arms and legs like human beings, and even have holes in their faces, noses and eyes.

It seems that the mollusc sea monster observed the Taoist bodies of these giants in a dream, and then imitated them in this world, gathered rocks into human shapes, and shaped their own shells.

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

That's right, the remains, looking at them like this, we can tell that they may be some kind of life form, but they are all motionless now, and judging from their postures, some of them are kneeling on the ground, as if they are in great pain, while some are baring their teeth and claws, as if they are mad with grief , in short, it is a purgatory way, replacing people with stones.

Li Fan reached out his hand to dig out, broke off one of the purple crystals in the eye socket of the giant, and tried to confirm it with his spiritual sense.

Well, I can't be wrong, this crystal contains amazing virtual moon radiation, it may be the special life composition of these rock giants, and it has become a natural container that can hold the energy of the virtual moon. After sitting and cultivating for a short while, Guixu Zhenyuan is fully stored!

Unexpectedly, not only the East China Sea is rich, but the Taisu Realm on the East China Sea is also so suitable for cultivation.But the radiation was a bit too strong, and his mood was filled up bit by bit in a short while, and the rationality of ordinary people might not be able to withstand it.

So Li Fan repaired Guixu Daoist Clothes that had been chopped down before, and took out Sinan, trying to find the 'genocide causal fragments' of this stone man world.

He followed the guidance of the spoon handle for a while, and suddenly felt an obvious vibration!Regular, rhythmic vibrations!
what happened?And living stone men?

Judging from Sinan's orientation, it is also clearly pointing to the direction of the source of the vibration.

To be cautious, Li Fan put on his Daoist robe and picked up the invisibility formula, and went over to check.

Then he saw it.

This is an open-pit mine, a typical spiral-shaped diamond mine, with a diameter of at least a thousand feet and a depth of five hundred feet into the ground. It is obviously artificially mined. There are clearly visible smooth and flat cuts on the pit wall, so large. The large-scale surface modification has already caused the magnetic field inside the planet 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 vortex.

Li Fan guessed casually and knew what was going on.

Who else could it be, the God Sect? Strictly speaking, it is probably the 'legion' behind the God Sect.

At the bottom of the mine pit, there is a huge eight-legged robot with the appearance of a bird-hunting spider, according to the system. 'Old-fashioned engineering drone that has been eliminated' is the replica of the drone that Li Fan snatched.Of course, the bottom one is much larger, like a giant beast, constantly digging tunnels, and there are some ordinary-sized spider engineers nearby, who are mining and excavating from the giant spiders, and are collected and filtered on the spot from the mineral veins at the bottom of the planet. A turquoise ore crystal is produced and stored in the abdomen.When it is full, it climbs into the belly of the big spider to pack it.The whole process was automatic, and I didn't see a sentinel, but I didn't know if there were satellites or mining ships in the sky.

While guessing, Li Fan checked the rock formations on the upper layer of the mine. The crystals in the rocks above have been illuminated purple, but there are still green ones on 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 to turn purple, which naturally directly destroys the life cores of those rock giants.

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

Coupled with the fact that the No. [-] member of the list will teach the blood sword, Li Fan now suspects that among the Nine Palaces of Penglai, there may be one case, or even the core inner door of the entire mountain, that has been secretly taught by the gods, The legion's apostle gave Li Daitao a stiff, peeled skin and took it away!
If worshiping the moon near Penglai can directly connect to this Taisu world and collect these special mineral resources, it is definitely 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 the sphere of influence of Penglai, have been turned upside down by the divine religion!

This damn, he actually got mixed up in the old lair of the legion...

System, how should I put it, do you want to make a move?
"No rush. There's no need to startle the snake."

"We've already recorded the crystal information, and we'll wait for the analysis results to come out. Let's see what this is."

Now that the system has said so, Li Fan's reconnaissance will stop here, and he will wake up and return to the Taiji Realm.

Damn, there are too many missions here in Penglai... There are various main and branch missions, which makes Li Fan a little bit at a loss as to how to start.And isn't that a little too dangerous?Among Penglai's inner masters, are there any apostles of the legion?It can't be that Manifestation Dao Lord!That's really nothing to play!

'Probably not, although they have a first-mover advantage, but you also know that for things like cultivation, it's not just a matter of fighting for who can live longer.Moreover, before the Taisu cultivation method came out, it was very slow to level up. It would be better if you killed someone younger than you. '

"The patterns of civilization on both sides of us are different. Even the first batch of apostles, relying on themselves alone, the probability of being able to cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage is very small. I think it should be the apostles of the legion and the high-level of the gods. Let's have a deep cooperation. '

'In short, don't worry, the apostle alone should not be your opponent in a frontal fight. '

'But be careful, I don't think I need to remind you, once they are discovered, they must have enough resources to neutralize the threat. '

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

But Li Fan thinks about it, in fact, it is the same for the divine religion and the legion.

The high-ranking members of Xuanmen, those bigwigs who have transformed themselves into gods and realized Taoism, should not have undercover agents from the sect of gods.After all, the three major factions have been fighting for so long, and there will always be secret agents and traitors.But if you want 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, and the entire Taoist sect is an undercover agent of the Divine Sect, and only Xuantian Sword Ancestor is fighting alone like a certain Qin Jiu, isn't that nonsense? No matter whether it is a novel or a manga, in order to deliberately create a surprising twist in the plot, so that "everyone is actually an undercover agent" nonsense, it is probably that the outline really collapsed cough cough.

So at most, it was the undercover agents of the divine sect who used the selection mechanism of the Taoist sect, and there might be one or two Nascent Soul real people who infiltrated the outer sect, or even the position of core inner sect disciples.

Now what Li Fan can be sure of is that there is a mole in Penglai to assist Asiba in the Divine Cult. It may be the person who fought swords with him yesterday, or it may be Xia Chengming, the second highest in the list, but the possibility is not very high. Who doesn't know a few tricks of the opponent these days, and Li Fan can also use the blood shadow magic. The Xuantian version!Therefore, it is impossible to judge the opponent's background with just one move of the bloody sword.

Of course, the other party broke his arms and dissected his face. Whether he is a traitor of the God Cult or not, he is probably an enemy...

Li Fan shook his head. He has no idea for the time being. Wait for the system to analyze the minerals first, and see what is worth the risk of God's teaching. Let's develop it under Penglai's nose.

Just as Li Fan finished packing up the magic circle, he was about to chase those two stupid girls.Gu Guanfa noticed an acquaintance nearby.

It's Zhou Chengxue.

Hiss... why did this guy appear nearby at this time?Could it be...he is actually the undercover agent of the Divine Cult!
Li Fan is also a little suspicious now, so he put on Guixu Daoist robe and sneaked over to investigate.

So Li Fan sneaked up and followed Zhou Chengxue to see if he was going to some secret base of a divine religion.

In the end, I wandered around with this cargo all day, and found that Zhou Chengxue looked here and there, as if he was simply patrolling the sea, and finally 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 it!Unexpectedly, you, Zhou Chengxue, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, are also an undercover agent of the God Sect!I almost threw Lao Tzu away, I thought you were just a salted fish lying flat!
Just as Li Fan was sneaking over, ready to come and get the stolen goods, he saw Zhou Chengxue holding up the green crystal ore cut into a hexagonal prism, facing the sun, and turning to ask the captain, "What is this? Where did you find it?" ?”

Eh?
The captain 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 looking for them, but we only found this broken one." Bag, you see, this Lingyu is quite beautiful. They probably found it from a shipwreck in some ruins somewhere."

Li Fan could tell at a glance that it was the army's large backpack painted with anti-detection paint and used to hold equipment. Inside were all cut ores, emerald green, about a hundred.

Zhou Chengxue took a look, shook his head and said, "I've been in the East China Sea for so many years, this is the first time I've seen this kind of jadeite, it's so clean. But there's no spiritual energy on it, so it can't be used as jade, it can only be regarded as a rare stone , I’ll give you five hundred guan.”

The owner rubbed his hands and said, "Give me more from Zhenhai. This gemstone is so beautiful. It's so rare. It's sure to be a jewelry for wives and concubines."

Zhou Chengxue knocked on the crystal, and wrote on the crystal with his index finger, "You can't gather energy, and you can't put talismans on it. They are heavy and hard. Only those monsters who like shiny things can collect them. Hmph, the animal nature does not change... ...Forget it, eight hundred guan."

The captain smiled, "Thank you, Daoist, for your reward."

Zhou Chengxue then put away the bag casually, and said seriously, "Stop doing this, the number of spirit shells, pearls and corals you handed in has become less and less recently, don't keep talking about spirit monsters. I understand you, don't you understand me! You want me to give you money to make offerings like this!"

The captain immediately said with a bitter face, "Oh my god, it's not a small evasion, you also know that there is a big monster in that backyard, every time you break it up, it will come back to life after a few days, we dare not approach it Yes.

And I heard that there are big monsters out of the outer sea, in groups, many spirit tribes have been driven to move here, they can swim in water, how can things in the sea beat them..."

Zhou Chengxue also had a headache, "Resurrected again? I just hit it a few days ago? Could it be more than one? Could it be that there are hidden lairs in the trench...

Well, I get it. In a few days, I will bring a few more helpers to clean up this sea area. Be careful yourself.Alas, why are there so many demons and ghosts..."

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

Are you pretending?Not necessarily, from this point of view, he really didn't recognize those mineral materials.Moreover, the spirit race...

If I'm not lying, it means that the Spirit Race in the East China Sea hooked up with the Divine Cult, and took advantage of their ability to travel in water to help the Divine Cult secretly transport these mined ores out to sea.

Thinking about it this way, maybe the mollusc stone monster is not only used to disperse the surrounding fishermen, maybe it is also responsible for transporting the mined ore out of the Taisu Realm, maybe other places, under the jurisdiction of other Zhenhai real people The sea area also has these things.

But if it started 'recently', then maybe this secret ore production line was also 'recently' put together by Asiba...

Xun country, Zhen country, Penglai, three great achievements.

Maybe I killed a business model this time...
