Chapter 186 A huge city under the sea! The deep diver’s stronghold was discovered!
"Li Ming, I think you can go over to the cleaning activity over there, right? Don't forget it later." A member of the same group waved to Li Ming, and then left here first to carry out their next step of investigation.
.
"Okay, I understand. I'll be there later." Li Ming waved in response, then calmed down and looked at the yard.
This place is far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, surrounded by mountains and rivers. It is like a fairyland on earth; the mountains rise one after another, and the verdant pines and cypresses are densely covered in it, but it will not let anyone have the slightest idea of appreciating the beautiful scenery.
Because this courtyard surrounded by mountains and rivers is exquisite and weird. The dark lake is as deep as ink, and the winding dark red paths surround the entire courtyard. There are some dirty blood stains on the surface, and the dilapidated building in the center
On the altar, human blood and severed limbs and bones are enshrined.
Just a few weeks ago, this place was a secret stronghold of a cult. Because of its very remote location and high concealment, it was not discovered by the Investigators Association for a long time.
After all, the Investigators Association only has a small number of people, and their investigations must be targeted. It is impossible to search every square meter of land.
Once a large invisible card is used in such a yard, it can easily avoid detection from the sky. If you want to discover this place, you must walk down to it.
but……
There is still the smell of the invisible card on the altar here. It is probably because the original cult had a bit of luck. After all, it cannot take away all the things, so it does not want the cult stronghold that it finally established to be looted by the Investigators Association.
It's a good idea, but it's a pity that it will be used by myself.
Li Ming raised his lips, reached out and took out [Innsmouth], [Dagon] and [Hydra], and manifested them all.
This dilapidated and decaying courtyard instantly turned into a dead town shrouded in green mist, but the atmosphere here was perfectly concealed by the operation of the invisible card on the central altar.
The gods believed by the two deep divers, Dagon and Hydra, appeared here. They looked at Li Ming respectfully and devoutly, waiting for further instructions from Li Ming.
"Time is limited, use the deep diver summoning technique to summon all the deep divers currently existing in the main world here." Li Ming looked serious and said.
After receiving the order, Dagon and Hydra immediately started taking action.
With the help of the surrounding seawater, they together rolled up a burst of water on the surrounding lake, forming several waterspouts around themselves.
No... there were more than just a few. What Li Ming saw was dozens, even hundreds. Even the blue water began to roll and surge.
Several rays of lightning flashed in the sea water, intertwined with arcs of electricity, which looked particularly dazzling in the gloomy atmosphere.
Then, the stormy waves formed by the waterspout rolled around Dagon. Soon the tide receded quickly, and one after another ugly but different deep divers appeared beside Dagon and Hydra.
Li Ming used his mental power to sense the spiritual connections appearing around him.
One...two...three...ten...hundreds...
With more and more spiritual connections, Li Ming finally knew the total number of deep divers who appeared here——
A total of two hundred and ninety-one!
Li Ming stared at the nearly three hundred deep divers around him in disbelief, and suddenly there was only one thought left in his mind -
I am super, you are too good at giving birth.
It is indeed a species with such strong sexual desire that it will prey on humans everywhere for mating. In less than half a year, they have grown from a dozen to such a huge scale.
If it was a mating between a human and a deep diver, it would probably still be spinning in the womb in such a short period of time, so so many deep divers are obviously the result of their internal reproduction.
No wonder Dagon and Hydra have gained so much power of faith. If they continue to develop, they may become invaded by foreign creatures.
Li Ming swallowed, then sorted out his words, stood on the top of Innsmouth's clock tower, looked at the group of deep divers on the ground and said loudly:
"The situation is more urgent now. Although you are not the target of this cult cleanup operation, if they find you, they will definitely kill you."
"So, from now on, you should break up into pieces and try to hide around here, and never move with your own tribe - growth and other things will be slowed down for the time being, and we will think of a solution after my affairs come to an end.
I will accommodate you."
After the words fell, the deep divers present looked at each other. Although they did not understand the twists and turns in Li Ming's words, they all knew that this was a life and death matter related to the survival of the group.
In short, it is right to listen to the Lord.
With the addition of Innsmouth, their combat effectiveness can be increased to about eight stars in the green level, and both their agility and physique have been greatly improved.
And they are not the kind of evil creatures that are completely mindless. As long as they follow the logic of running away if they can't be beaten, they will never be greatly affected.
"In short, survival is the top priority for your tribe. Remember not to conflict with humans, and hide as far away as you can."
After saying that, Li Ming glanced at his mobile phone and saw that the meeting time was not far away.
He didn't have time to make too many arrangements, but as a civilization older than human civilization, the deep divers' desire to survive would definitely not be inferior to humans.
So just let them go.
Looking at the scattered deep divers, Li Ming did not delay any further and simply rode the Shantak Bird directly towards the [assembly point] on his mobile phone to meet up...
…
"Well, it took a little more effort to clean up my stronghold there. Everyone has been waiting for a long time." Li Ming slowly landed at the meeting point and looked at the several investigators around him and said.
Some of these people, Li Ming, had even seen them during the previous incident in Xingmei City, and they were considered the elite of the Investigators Association.
I think this group of investigators should all be named by Ruan Zhou himself.
Ruan Zhou nodded, but didn't say much. After all, he also knew that investigating cults was not easy, and it was not surprising to encounter some situations.
"Okay, let's not wait for the rest of us. Let's go." Ruan Zhou rode his flying mount towards the teaching land that was previously designated as the competition venue.
If nothing else happens.
There should be...
Soon, they came to that area - a place with clear blue, mirror-like sea water.
On the sea, there is a dilapidated fishing village that looks particularly dilapidated. Although the atmosphere is a bit strange, there doesn't seem to be anything strange about it.
"This fishing village... I remember it didn't exist before, right?" A short and fat investigator glanced at the seaside fishing village. This place was used as a competition area. Even if it existed, it would have been cleared away.
The investigators present immediately realized one thing. If this was the case, then it was most likely that this place was regarded as a cult stronghold after the end of the Liaoxing Province Provincial High School League.
Well, beaver.
"But this is too strange," the pudgy investigator frowned, "How can a cult build a fishing village? And it doesn't even have an altar. What's the purpose of building it? Is it possible that cultists also want to build a team?"
These words made others present laugh, but only Ruan Zhou and Li Ming did not laugh out loud.
After the laughter ended, Ruan Zhou finally spoke: "The fishing village may have other purposes, but the place that really makes us suspect there is a problem... is here."
After saying this, Ruan Zhou took out a [Water Dividing Technique] and directly divided the entire body of water into two, creating a ladder composed of water flow.
When the mirror-like blue sea surface was divided into two, and the wanton light fell into the depths of the sea, those who had laughed just now stopped laughing.
The sea still exudes a faint salty smell, but in the endless deep sea, a dreamlike scene appears in front of them - a gorgeous and mysterious underwater city stands in it, like a magical country, exuding an alluring brilliance
.
Ancient murals and sculptures decorate the streets and alleys of this city under the sea. Each carefully painted pattern tells a mysterious story and seems to narrate the rich culture flowing in this city.
Everyone present was shocked.
"This..." The pudgy investigator opened his mouth so wide that he could almost stuff a white steamed bun into it. "Isn't this too exaggerated? What is this? A city under the sea? Atlantis?"
"No, this is a cult stronghold? If it weren't for the fact that humans can't breathe underwater, I even thought Zhixie had some underwater colonization plan." Another investigator was even more surprised to build such a city under the sea.
What do these cultists want?
Often, cult strongholds must be simple and hidden. It is hard to imagine that anyone would build large-scale construction under the sea.
This cannot be called abandoning the basics and chasing the last. This is simply a simple illness and a thankless result.
Putting aside how much manpower and material resources such a city would cost, the key point is what is their purpose of building such a city? With the size of a cult organization, it is simply impossible to fill so many cities, right???
The other investigators around him were completely shocked. Except for Li Ming, there was one person who was very calm.
Ruan Zhou walked down the water stairs. He slowly walked to the sculpture with an unknown god in the center of the city and raised his head to look at him. There was a hint of piety and a bit of fanaticism in his eyes.
And all of this was seen by Li Ming.
His eyes narrowed to a slit, staring closely at Ruan Zhou's every move.
He didn't know why Ruan Zhou believed in two gods at the same time, or simply said that maybe what Ruan Zhou believed in was actually "power"...
He collected a lot of wool from Ruan Zhou, but he didn't know...whether the wool needed to be repaid.
But he is not completely without bargaining chips now. Accepting Dagon's spiritual power means that he has an advantage.
At this moment, the short and fat investigator put his arm around Li Ming's shoulder and pulled him out of his thoughts.
"Look, you've learned a lot since you first came here. It's cool, right? There may be many opportunities like this in the future." He patted Li Ming on the shoulder, seeming to have completely forgotten what he had said before.
