Chapter 405: Quasi-Divine Beast

If the other party's golden cicada comes out of its shell, there is no good way, but even so, it can always take back the "Poseidon Pearl" that was snatched away.

Of course, in fact, a "Poseidon Pearl" is nothing, even if it is lost, it is harmless, but the meaning of this thing is different, this is a "divine war"!

If the other party is a golden cicada out of its shell, then this matter will not be revealed, by recovering the "Poseidon Pearl", collect all kinds of spider traces, and then carry out follow-up tracking and pursuit until the threat is completely removed.

Almost at noon the next day when Chen Mu had just returned to the fleet and was carrying the goods with others, the high priest rode a black shark and arrived at the waters of "Treasure Island" and stopped outside the island.

The merfolk patrols along the way did not notice the existence of the high priest at all, and with his means, it was not too easy to avoid these patrols quietly.

But if you want to enter the island, it is not so easy, after all, "Treasure Island" is the largest artificial island in the vicinity, not only the army of the mermaid tribe is stationed, but there are also many human warriors on the island.

It's just that the merfolk army is not directly stationed on "Treasure Island", but at the bottom of the sea not far away, there is another underwater stronghold, and the temple in this area is also there.

The High Priest had already planned to go directly to the temple of that stronghold after approaching the "Treasure Island", leaving the black shark there, and at the same time using the temple's signal amplification to get in touch with the "Sea God" for the last intelligence confirmation before the operation.

The high priest is still relatively relieved about the loyalty of the temple system, and he did not inform anyone of this operation in advance, and now he only intends to infiltrate the temple, rather than enter it with great fanfare, so there should be no risk of leakage.

After observing the outside of "Treasure Island", the high priest did not find any abnormality, and by activating the signal amplification of the trident, he was able to receive the signal of the "Poseidon Pearl" nearby, which is equivalent to a tracker.

The signal of the "Poseidon Pearl" in the nearby stronghold temple was very clearly received by the high priest's trident, which was of course because of the temple, the temple was equivalent to a signal base station, which could amplify the signal of the "Poseidon Pearl", which was so clearly captured by the trident.

However, there is indeed a similar signal source in "Treasure Island", but it is not so clear at all, looming, and it is impossible to accurately locate it.

The only function is to confirm the approximate direction, at least the signal source is in the "Treasure Island".

That was enough, the High Priest collected the Trident's magical powers, drove the Black Shark, and quickly rushed towards the nearby stronghold temple.

Along the way, he used secret methods to converge energy fluctuations, and it was easy to sneak into the vicinity of the stronghold, and the rest was even simpler, the high priest activated the trident again, and directly cut into the signal network of this temple, with his authority, it was easy to obtain the management of this temple.

At the same time, the mermaid priest in the temple naturally discovered the abnormality, but the high priest directly sent a signal to the past to identify himself, and the other party was instantly shocked and stunned.

After repeatedly confirming that it was indeed the signal of the high priest, of course the priest was 10,000 cooperative, and the two of them joined forces inside and out, quietly opening a special passage on the shield of the stronghold, and the high priest entered the temple without realizing it.

The priest had already cleared the field, and everyone in the temple was transferred, leaving only himself to greet the high priest's priest in the temple.

"Well, you go out too, this seat has important things to do, you keep watch outside, don't let anyone approach, and you can't reveal this matter to anyone, it's all rotten in your stomach, understand?"

"Understood, guaranteed to complete the task!"

The priest went out without saying a word, leaving only the high priest and his black shark in the temple hall, and he let the black shark enter the temple's pool, which is the standard configuration of every temple, and is the place where the "Poseidon Pearl" is placed.

The Black Shark is the High Priest's exclusive "Psychic Sea Beast", which is not actually his private property, but an existence similar to a quasi-divine beast, and is exclusively used by each High Priest.

This thing has a very long lifespan, and its real owner is the "sea god", which seems to have survived for a long, long time, and the high priest does not know if this thing can live forever, only that it is called "Black Shark", and it rarely has the opportunity to show up.

The reason is naturally that the high priests generally do not go out, and many high priests stay within the scope of the Great Temple from the time they take over until they die, so how can they have the opportunity to use their mounts.

However, according to the requirements of the "Sea God", as long as the high priest is out, he must ride the "Black Shark", and the reason is very simple, that is, to ensure the stability of the original power in the high priest's body and not to lose too much.

This is also the main reason why the high priest is not allowed to leave the confines of the Great Temple easily, as the only "elite apostle" under the command of the "sea god", in fact, there are major flaws.

Although the body of the mermaid clan is generally stronger than that of humans, as the high priest chosen by thousands of people, it is naturally a talented strongman, and his physical quality far exceeds that of the ordinary mermaid clan, and after years of being transformed by the original power of the "sea god", the body of the high priest is no longer an ordinary organism.

But no matter how he transforms, his foundation is still the body of the mermaid race, and it is impossible to completely become another creature, so there is an upper limit, as well as congenital defects after transformation.

Due to the accumulation of a large amount of origin power in his body, the body of the high priest was like a jar filled with liquefied gas, but the material of this jar was not a tempered gas canister, but a much more fragile plastic canister.

Even if this plastic jar is the best of its kind, it can't change his congenital deficiencies, even if the "Poseidon" has been transformed and strengthened for a long time, it is still difficult to change this congenital fragility.

Therefore, the high priest is indeed a powerful "elite apostle", but it is not a complete body in the true sense, but a replacement with fatal flaws, because with the ability of the "sea god", it is impossible to make genuine products at all, and can only be used by a copycat.

This kind of knock-off, once it leaves the scope of the Great Temple, it will fall into an extremely dangerous and unstable state, and the original power in the body will not be suppressed by the Great Temple, and it will quickly enter a state of decay, just like a leaky balloon, or it will deflate in a short time.

The "Black Shark" is equivalent to a mobile power supply, which can ensure that the high priest remains in the state of the Great Temple when he is out.

Of course, no matter how good the power bank is, it is also a stopgap measure, and after a long time, there will still be problems.

However, after successfully arriving here, the high priest is satisfied, and after one last blessing in the temple here, he can go to the "Treasure Island" to carry out his mission.
