The overall stone surface of the reef is very rough, covered with honeycomb-like pores, and the edges of these pores are very windy, not like natural formations, but more like artificial pouring. m.

The light was so dim that I couldn't see exactly what the reef looked like, so I could only sketch a huge honeycomb image in my mind.

At this moment, there was a sudden slippery touch from my fingertips.

The reef I just touched seemed to be fundamentally different from the reefs in other areas, it felt like a huge piece of jade, and the surface was warm and smooth.

I immediately hovered in the water and tried to measure the area of the jade surface with the palm of my hand.

Roughly estimated, it should be about one square meter, I guess, this piece of jade is likely to be the entrance to the deposit, and on the surface of the jade, I also touched some hard stones that feel similar to iron ore, they are scattered on the jade surface, with a slight swing of the hand, they will slide out along the jade surface.

I reached out a few times and finally grabbed a hard rock, and it just so happened that I couldn't hold my breath anymore, so I twisted and threw myself out of the water.

As soon as I came out of the water, I felt an extremely strange evil aura erupt from the stone in my hand, this thing seemed to be alive, and the evil aura that erupted from above was mainly resentment, and it was also mixed with a dangerous aura that I had never seen before.

It didn't seem to be a simple aura, but a mixture of temperament, smell, aura, and other sensations, and it was really a breath, and I had the illusion that the stone in my hand was breathing slowly.

For the first time in my life, I discovered that human language has a limit, that it is impossible to accurately describe what I perceive with our current language, and that the only thing I can do is to describe it as best I can, even if there are certainly some deviations in such depictions.

If I had to use an accurate word to describe how I felt at that time, when I think about it, it seems that there is only that inexplicable word: indescribable.

I quickly went ashore, quickly dried my hands with the Rat King's clothes, and then took a three-immortal talisman from his hand, urged my mind, and attached the captive to the stone.

No matter how incredible the aura attached to the stone surface is, as long as it is an evil qi, it can be suppressed by the qi in the talisman.

The magic system based on the Tao Te Ching has such commonalities, which can not only derive infinite changes, but also respond to all changes with the same, the foundation of the Great Dao is in hand, as long as you are an evil thing, my magic can be suppressed.

To be honest, I don't know much about other schools' magic systems, but that's what Taoism really looks like.

Fu Yun quickly wandered in the heart of the stone, and the strange aura was gradually dissolved, dissolved, and finally disappeared into invisibility.

Since I took this stone ashore, the Rat King's expression has become a little abnormal, and a series of negative emotions such as anger, sadness, pride, and depression have begun to grow in his heart, obviously affected by the breath just now.

However, I didn't take care of the Rat King, and when the breath on the stone was destroyed by Fu Yun, the Rat King returned to normal.

The Rat King patted his chest and said with a look of fear, "What happened to me just now, it seems that I have fallen into despair all of a sudden." ”

I flipped the stone in my hand: "This thing can eat people's minds, you were affected by it just now." If I'm not mistaken, this thing should be the mineral that the King in Yellow is looking for, find a bright place, I have to study it. ”

Now I finally understand why the founders of the sea market have sealed these deposits, which are extremely dangerous for ordinary people, and if they are not careful, they will be confused by him.

Without saying a word, the Rat King immediately led me out of the clear water pool.

Originally, I thought that the Rat King was planning to find a brightly lit place nearby, but I didn't expect him to go around in a big circle, and finally took me back to the villa.

Once inside, I sat on the couch soaking wet, taking a closer look at the stones in my hand by the light.

It wasn't a stone, to be exact, but an irregularly shaped piece of green metal, and its color was no different from the green mist I'd seen in the environment, and the color of the skin of the worm trunk.

This led me to a conjecture that maybe when the foundation pillar cracked, it also shook the ore deposit, and the finger worms and the unknown creatures that caused the green mist were all drilled out of the bottom of the mine, if this is the case, the bottom of the foundation pillar should be connected to the ore deposit, otherwise it should not be enough to crack the rock layer around the rock layer when it cracks, and there will not be so many finger worms near the base pillar.

The Rat King came down from the stairs with two clean clothes in his hand: "Your body is about the same as mine, these clothes, you should wear them well." ”

I heard his voice, but I didn't respond because I was still pondering.

If my guess is correct, how did the King of Yellow discover the existence of mineral deposits, and why did he attach so much importance to them?

He must have been to the base of the pillar, where he found a crack and the breathtaking effect of this particular mineral, but he couldn't get through it.

This shows that this legendary king in yellow has things that he can't do, and his ability is limited.

This doesn't seem to echo the description of the Old Ruler in the Cthulhu Mythos, if the King of Yellow hidden in the sea market is really as powerful as the Old Dominator, he could easily destroy the world, how could he not even get into the cracks.

By this time, the Rat King was already sitting next to me, and he raised his chin at the ore in my hand and asked, "What is this?" ”

I came back to my senses a little: "This should be the legendary mine, its essence should be a kind of meteorite with spiritual rhyme, this thing is very suitable for making magic weapons, if it can be sold to my peers, it can make a lot of money." ”

The Rat King suddenly became interested: "How much can you earn?" ”

"Then it depends on how big the mineral deposits are," I shook my head realistically, and then asked, "Do people from outside never do business with the sea market?" Gold is much cheaper here than outside, but building materials such as steel, wood, and stone are very expensive, and it is said that there are often people from outside who bring these things to the sea market and exchange them for gold from you. ”

The Rat King sighed and responded: "When Boss Wu was here, we had frequent business dealings with the outside world, but after he disappeared, if you want to bring in the building materials from outside, you will definitely encounter shipwrecks. By the way, the base pillar also cracked in the same year that Boss Wu disappeared. It was also since his disappearance that Haishi's living environment became more and more harsh. ”

"His disappearance has such a big impact on Haishi?"

"It's bigger than you think. When he was there, Haishi was also shrouded in a certain fear, but at least as long as everyone did their duty, life was stable, but after his disappearance, the darkness lurking in the depths of Haishi gradually began to be revealed, and with our strength, we could not resist the invasion of darkness at all. Some people say that it was Boss Wu who used his own strength to suppress the darkness, and as soon as he left, these dark breaths were completely out of control. ”
