"Li Ming, the cleaning activity over there seems to have you come over, right? Don't forget later. A member of the same group waved to Li Ming, and then left the place first to carry out their next investigation.

"Okay, I know, I'll come over later." Li Ming responded to the other party with a wave of his hand, and then calmed down and looked at the courtyard.

It is far away from the hustle and bustle, and the mountains and rivers come into view, like a fairyland on earth; The mountains rise and fall, and the verdant pines and cypresses are densely packed, but no one will have the slightest idea of enjoying the scenery.

Because this courtyard surrounded by mountains and rivers is delicate and strange, the dark water of the lake is as deep as ink, and the winding dark red path surrounds the entire courtyard, and there are some dirty blood stains on the surface, and the broken altar in the center is dedicated to human blood and broken limbs and bones.

Just a few weeks ago, it was a secret cult stronghold, and because of its remote and highly concealed location, it was not discovered by the Investigators' Association for a long time.

After all, the Investigator Association is only that kind of people, and their investigation must be targeted, and it is impossible to search every square meter of land.

And once this kind of yard uses a large stealth card, then it can easily evade the detection of the sky, and if you want to find this place, you have to walk here with your feet on the ground to make it possible.

But......

There is still a remnant of the aura of the trace card on the altar here, and it is estimated that the original cult has a trace of luck, after all, it can't take all the things away, so I don't want the cult stronghold that I have built up with great difficulty to be ransacked by the Investigators Association.

It's a good idea, but it's a pity that it will be used by yourself.

The corners of Li Ming's mouth raised, and he reached out and took out [Innsmouth], [Dagon] and [Hydra], and embodied them all.

The dilapidated courtyard was instantly transformed into a green mist-shrouded dead town, but the aura here was perfectly concealed under the operation of the central altar's stealth card.

The two gods of the Deep Divers, Dagon and Hydra, appeared here, looking at Li Ming respectfully and reverently, 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 Overworld here." Li Ming looked serious and spoke.

After receiving the order, Dagon and Hydra immediately went into action.

With the help of the surrounding water, they rolled up a splash of water on the surface of the surrounding lake and formed several waterspouts around them.

Wrong...... There were more than a few, Li Ming saw dozens, even hundreds, and even the blue sea began to tumble and surge.

The sea shimmered with several rays of light, and they intertwined with arcs of electricity, which stood out in the eerie atmosphere.

Then, the waves of the waterspout rolled around Dagon's body, and soon the tide quickly receded, and one after another, ugly but different divers appeared at Dagon's and Hydra's side.

Li Ming used his spiritual power to perceive the spiritual connections that appeared around him.

A ...... Two ...... Three ...... Article 10 ...... 100 ......

As the spiritual connection became more and more, Li Ming finally knew the total number of deep divers who appeared here-

That's 291 of them!

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'm super, you guys are too capable of giving birth, right?

It is worthy of a species that is so hungry that it will take humans everywhere to mate, and in less than half a year, they have grown from more than a dozen to such a huge scale today.

If it is a mating of a human and a deep diver, it is estimated that it is still circling in the womb for such a short time, so so many deep divers are obviously the result of their internal reproduction.

It's no wonder that the power of faith gained by Dagon and Hydra is so huge, and if Nima allows them to develop, I'm afraid they will all become alien creatures.

Li Ming swallowed a mouthful of saliva, then sorted out his words, stood on the high place of the clock tower in Innsmouth, looked at the group of deep divers on the ground and said loudly:

"Now the situation is more urgent, although you are not the target of this cult clean-up operation, if they find out, they will definitely kill them all."

"So, from now on, you break up into pieces and try to hide in this vicinity, and don't act with your own clan - the development will slow down for the time being, and when the matter on my side is over, I will find a way to settle you."

When the words fell, the deep divers present all looked at each other, although they didn't understand the twists and turns in Li Ming's words, but they all knew that this was a matter of life and death related to the survival of the race.

In short, it is right to listen to the Lord.

With the bonus of Innsmouth, their combat power can be increased to about eight stars at the green level, and both agility and physique have been greatly improved.

And they're not the kind of evil creatures that are completely brainless, as long as they follow the logic of running if they can't beat them, they will definitely not be affected too much.

"In short, survival is the top priority of your race, remember not to conflict with humans, and hide as far as you can."

After speaking, Li Ming glanced at his mobile phone, and it was not far from the meeting time.

He didn't have time to deploy too much, but as a civilization that is older than human civilization, Deep Divers will definitely not be inferior to humans in their desire to survive.

So just let them go and let them go on their own.

Looking at the scattered divers, Li Ming did not continue to delay, and simply rode the Shattak bird directly towards the [meeting point] in the mobile phone......

……

"Well, it took a little more effort to clean up my stronghold over there, and everyone has been waiting for a long time." Li Ming slowly landed on the assembly point, looked at the surrounding investigators and spoke.

Some of these people Li Ming had even seen them in the previous incident in Xingmei City, and they were considered to be the elite of the Investigators Association.

I think that this group of investigators should all be investigators named by Ruan Zhou himself.

Ruan Zhou nodded, but he didn't say much, after all, he also knew that the cult investigation was not easy, and it was not strange to encounter something.

"Okay, let's not wait for the rest of the people, let's go." Ruan Zhou rode his flying mount towards the teaching land that had previously been designated as a competition venue.

If nothing else.

There should be ...... by now

Soon, they were in the area—a place of clear, mirror-like water.

On the sea, there is a dilapidated fishing village that looks particularly dilapidated, and although the atmosphere is a little weird, it doesn't seem to be anything strange.

"This fishing village...... I don't think I had it before, right? A stocky investigator took one look at the seaside fishing village, which had been used as a playing area, and if there were, it would have been cleared.

The investigators present immediately realized something, since this was the case, then it was very likely that this place was regarded as a cult stronghold after the end of the provincial high school league in the province of Liaoxing.

Well, beavers.

"But that's weird," the chunky investigator frowned, "how can there be a cult building a fishing village?" And there's not even an altar, why is this being built? Could it be that cultists also want to engage in team building? ”

These words made the others present laugh a lot, but only Ruan Zhou and Li Ming did not laugh out loud.

After the laughter was over, Ruan Zhou finally spoke: "The fishing village may have other purposes, but it really makes us suspect that there is something wrong...... It's here. ”

After the words fell, Ruan Zhou took out a [Water Splitting Technique] and directly divided the entire body of water into two, vacating a ladder composed of water currents.

When the mirror-blue sea split in two, and the wanton light fell into the depths of the water, the people who had laughed just now couldn't laugh for a moment.

The surface of the sea still smells faintly salty, but in the endless depths of the sea, a dreamlike scene emerges before them—a gorgeous and mysterious city under the sea stands in it, like a magical country, exuding alluring brilliance.

Ancient murals and sculptures adorn the streets of this sea-subsea city, each meticulously depicted motif tells a mysterious story that seems to tell the rich culture of the city.

Everyone present was stunned.

"This ......," the stocky investigator's mouth was so wide that she could almost fit a white-flour steamed bun, "that's too exaggerated, isn't it?" What is it? A city under the sea? Atlantis? ”

"No, this is a cult stronghold? If it weren't for the fact that humans couldn't breathe underwater, I even thought that the Association had some plans for colonization under the sea. Another investigator was even more surprised, what were these cultists trying to build such a city under the sea?

Often, cult strongholds must be simple and hidden, and it is hard to imagine that there will be people who will build a large number of buildings under the sea.

This can't be called the end of the book, this is simply pure illness and thanklessness.

Putting aside how much manpower and material resources are needed for such a city, the key is what is the purpose of building such a city? With the size of a cult, it is simply impossible to fill so many cities???

The other investigators around him were completely shocked, except for Li Ming, there was another person who was very calm.

Ruan Zhou descended the water stairs, and he slowly walked to the sculpture in the middle of the city that depicted an unknown god and looked up at him, his eyes flashing with a hint of piety and a little fanaticism.

And all of this was seen by Li Ming.

His eyes narrowed into 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 what Ruan Zhou believed in was actually "power......

He got a lot of wool from Ruan Zhou's hands, but he didn't know ...... Whether this wool needs to be repaid.

But he is not completely without bargaining chips now, and accepting Dagon's spiritual power means that he has a head start.

And at this moment, the short and fat investigator put his hand on Li Ming's shoulder and pulled him back from his thoughts.

"Look, didn't you just come here and have a lot of knowledge, it's cool, right, maybe there will be a lot of opportunities like this in the future." He patted Li Ming on the shoulder, seemingly completely forgetting what he had said before.

Li Ming was stunned for a moment, and replied:

"Huh?"

The next second, he added another word:

"Hmm!"
