"This is how it feels to walk underwater...it's really amazing."
This waterway is entirely made of water, and the vast and green ocean fills the entire world.
The water still existed, and the fish monster guards on the side were floating, but Li Ming and Dagon were treading on the ground.
Li Ming could even feel his clothes floating along the current, but he couldn't feel any resistance under water, and his breathing was not hindered at all. He probably used some special ability to open up this way.
An underwater passage.
No wonder those people are so confident.
If there is no key to open the underwater passage, ordinary people will have no possibility of escaping even if they break the water wall.
Although Li Ming doesn't know the way, he just needs the fish monster guard to know the way.
"Those people should have a place to hide their cards, right? Take us there."
Li Ming glanced at the fish monster, as if the fish monster was a spy he had arranged within the cult.
The fish monster also listens to orders. Although it is not very smart, it can clearly understand what Li Ming means.
I don’t know how those cultists will react when they see their reconnaissance guards jump...
After walking along the underwater passage for a while, Li Ming came to a room composed of coral reefs and huge rocks, with a zigzag marble road extending out.
Good guy, it is indeed a place to hide cards. The decoration has become luxurious.
In this card hiding room, there are more than a dozen treasure boxes sorted into different categories, with the types of cards stored in each box written on them.
Li Ming's eyes passed over the signs above the treasure boxes.
This feeling is really like looking through treasure chests in those RPG games.
"Summoning card...spell card...material card..."
"Okay, it's well organized and makes me feel well."
He walked forward and decisively opened the treasure chest of material cards. The first card placed on it was a blue quality material card!
"I'm super, here's a blue card, take it!"
"Uh, green card...but this category is barely usable, so I got it."
"Tsk, why are there still cards of shredded quality? They cost a bundle of fifty cents on the black market. They are useless even for table legs..."
Li Ming really wanted to pack up all the cards and take them away, but some cards were really useless and still occupied space.
So I picked and picked some materials that were slightly related to the world view of the Cthulhu Mythos and took them with me.
As for the remaining material cards, let's wait until we run away. If you sell them by the pound, you might be able to sell them for a few meals.
After selecting the material cards, Li Ming came to the spell card and grabbed all the useful cards inside.
Spell cards are a large category, and there are many branches under it, which are instantaneous and very useful.
The only flaw is that it's gone once you use it, and it will directly drain the user's mental energy when used.
However, since there is no threshold for use and its instantaneous activation mechanism, it can be considered a must-have card for self-protection when traveling at home.
Healing cards, barrier cards, and defense cards all basically fall into this category.
As for the summoning card...
This thing does not mean that it can be summoned casually and used directly, so Li Ming simply picked a few high-quality ones and took them with him.
“It’s very good, very rewarding.”
If Li Ming were to describe it, it would probably be...
When you come, your sleeves will feel fresh and refreshing, and when you leave, you will feel rich and fluid.
By the way, Li Ming also picked up a whole set of cards that had not yet been classified. These cards seemed systematic but not many. They were probably the cards of his inmate and former inmates he had never met.
Already.
Not only these, Li Ming also saw a big... snakeskin bag?
"Are cultists so down-to-earth..."
Li Ming opened the snakeskin bag and found that it was filled with mobile phones, some of which were broken.
"Are these guys planning to sell the phones by the pound?"
Good guy, sell the valuables on you, use the material cards yourself, and sacrifice them to others. These cultists are really here to squeeze out the sacrifices!
But now, Li Ming can only thank them for sorting it out.
Not only that, Li Ming also found a book in this card hiding room, the words on it were particularly dazzling——
"The Curse of the Undertow, The Gaze of Ensul Zebel"
What a stupid name.
But speaking of it...
"I remember that there seem to be various mythological classics in the Cthulhu Mythos, such as "The Book of Ebon", "The Necronomicon", "The King in Yellow" and so on."
"Everyone who watches this will basically lose their temper, and there are also a lot of people who are going crazy. Well..."
Li Ming smiled, then directly picked up the book "The Curse of the Dark Tide" and opened it.
The reason why those mythological classics under the Cthulhu Mythos worldview can drive many people into madness is because they reveal the nature of the universe, and all the glorious achievements of human civilization are insignificant.
In that era when science was gradually sprouting and superstition was broken, it would naturally lead to a great collapse of sanity.
But this world view is completely different. A three-year-old child knows that there are evil gods in this world, so he won't get upset just reading this book.
After some extensive reading, Li Ming probably had a basic understanding of the evil god believed in by this cult.
The name of this cult is "Blood Brotherhood of Ensul".
And the evil god they believe in...
The Lord of the Undertide, also known as the Lord of the Abyss, his name is "Ensul Zebel", and he is an evil god who lives on the bottom of the sea.
The above description of the Lord of the Undertow is extremely exaggerated, but judging from Li Ming's many years of mythological research experience, most of it is the rhetoric of believers.
Like what can change the laws of the universe, shift the stars when they appear, etc...
This describes some of Ensur Zebel's sacrificial methods, and its believers can exchange power by sacrificing living people.
According to the description in the book "The Curse of the Undertow", the location he is currently at should be at the bottom of a huge lake surrounded by mountain villages, and this mountain village is a gathering place for cults.
If he ran out alone, I'm afraid he wouldn't be their opponent.
"Although Dagon's fighting ability is promising, those sixteen materials were improvised... Dagon's current strength is not the strongest."
"In this case, even if Dagon is summoned, he may not be their opponent."
Although Li Ming is very confident in the Cthulhu Mythos system, he will not consider himself invincible after creating a Dagon.
After all, this place is also the home of a cult, and it also believes in an indigenous evil god of this world. Although it may not be as powerful, it is still safe.
but.
The book also records something, that is, the water prison here is not just for you, but a very large area.
Every area is related to sacrifices!
That is to say...
Li Ming closed the book in his hand, thinking deeply.
Simply take away all the cards here and give them to the "sacrifice" who are locked up in the water prison.
Um.
In this way, it can be regarded as improving the chance of winning somewhat.
After thinking about this, Li Ming simply handed over the complete sets of cards.
Just then.
Outside the water prison, there was a faint sound of footsteps...
