"Why hasn't this kid come back yet?" Aunt Yun stood on the city wall and muttered slightly uneasily.
"Don't worry, a life like his is very dangerous." Li Fanyi said nonchalantly.
More than half a day has passed since Su Ze chased the fifth-order coral polyp into the sea. There has been no news yet, and Aunt Yun can't help but worry.
The Holy Envoy of Dongli on the side stroked his beard and said: "He should be fine. Haven't you noticed that since he entered the sea, the number of alien beasts landing has significantly decreased?"
"Indeed." Li Fayi looked at the Luo Fanguo Beach next door, where the fight was still in full swing.
On the Dongli side, Su Ze transformed into a flood and first cleared away a wave of monsters, which greatly reduced the pressure on Dongli soldiers. After Su Ze entered the sea, the number of strange beasts landing on Dongli beach was also significantly reduced.
This is because Su Ze started from Dongli and killed all the way there. As a result, many of the strange beasts that originally headed towards Dongli were killed by him on the way.
Now there are not enough soldiers and generals to kill those scattered soldiers and crab generals who have landed on the Dongli coastline.
Dongli soldiers have regained the first line of defense.
Several Dongli patron saints were also completely relaxed and could take a rest.
As for the colorful snail, the fifth-level alien beast that fought fiercely with the Holy Envoy of Dongli, after the fifth-level coral polyp escaped, it also found an opportunity to escape.
The soldiers of Luo Fan Kingdom next door looked at Dong Li from time to time, feeling envious in their hearts.
They are being attacked by a group of alien beasts, but Dongli soldiers are attacking the alien beasts in a group. Why is there such a big gap?
However, they did not dare to do anything like before and drove the alien beasts to Dongli. The main reason was that Luo Fan had recently lost two overlords and his strength was greatly damaged. However, Dongli had successively produced several new overlords and was gaining momentum. Sheng, they had to restrain themselves.
Brother Ya fiddled with his mental communication phone and after confirming that he could not contact Su Ze, he realized that Su Ze must have left the communication range.
As a communication base station, Su Ze always carries the Armida head with him, so the communication range is calculated with Su Ze as the center, covering about half of the city.
Since the mobile phone cannot receive the base station signal, it means that Su Ze is relatively far away from him.
"If it doesn't work, I'll go look for it." Brother Ya was also a little worried.
"Wait a little longer." Aunt Yun thought for a while and persuaded her. It was also dangerous to enter the sea against the tide of beasts at this time.
…
At this time, Su Ze, after absorbing the blood crystals, tried to use "space jump" several times. Coupled with the memory inheritance from the blood crystals, he was already proficient in this skill.
After trampling a strange beast to death, he used "Liquid Life" again to turn his body into water and continued to approach the source of the beast tide.
The further they went, the greater the density of the beast tide. In the end, Su Ze's sight was filled with densely packed strange beasts.
He knew that he was probably very close to the source of the beast tide.
To be on the safe side, he did not move forward rashly, but slowly floated up to a position close to the sea surface.
There are relatively few strange beasts here, so it is safer.
Then, he opened the "eye of truth" and spread his sensory tentacles towards the seabed, exploring everything on the seabed and tracing the source of the beast tide.
Soon, he discovered some interesting phenomena. There were strange beasts in the sea constantly gathering from all directions, as if they were gathering there.
There are also a steady stream of strange beasts coming out from there and swimming straight towards Linhuazhou, forming a spectacular tide of beasts.
The source of the beast tide is in a deep trench.
What exactly is in the trench? Why do all the strange beasts in the ocean gather there?
And why did these strange beasts go straight to Linhuazhou to attack human cities after they came out?
Su Ze's sensory tentacles quickly reached down and penetrated deep into the trench.
Fortunately, the trench was not too deep, so he quickly reached the bottom. Below it, countless ocean beasts were facing the same direction like pilgrims. Although Su Ze did not understand animal language, he could still see their piety. It's like meeting the gods.
But after a while, these strange beasts seemed to have received instructions from the gods, and each of them became vigorous, like warriors with high morale.
They swallowed a mouthful of sea mud at their feet, then turned around and swam out of the trench, heading directly towards Linhuazhou.
And then, a new batch of strange beasts will enter the trench...
Eat dirt?
Su Ze had a hard time understanding the last action of the beasts swallowing sea mud.
What kind of traditional custom is this about marine animals?
He carefully explored the sea mud at the bottom of the trench with his sensory tentacles, and found some tiny golden dust in it!
From the golden dust, Su Ze felt a familiar aura—golden energy!
I see... Su Ze suddenly understood why the golden energy could be extracted from the bodies of the strange beasts he killed.
It turned out that before they went out to fight, they swallowed a mouthful of soil here.
Through the various pictures seen here, Su Ze has been able to deduce a lot of information.
It seemed that higher-level alien beasts ordered them to attack Lin Huazhou... This was not beyond Su Ze's expectation. After all, the news he had received was that a new king among the alien beasts was born, and a beast tide might be launched. It is the "new king".
"So, the new king is hiding under this trench, and those strange beasts are here to meet the new king?
"And the soil containing golden energy is the reward given by the new king to all those who come to see the strange beasts?"
Su Ze was hesitating whether to spread his sensory tentacles forward to get a glimpse of the majestic appearance of the new king.
It is possible for the sensory tentacles to be detected, which might bring him danger.
He thought about it carefully and realized that although he was still at the Overlord level, his strength had been pushed to the Supreme level by the "Blood Devouring" skill.
Moreover, his "Eye of Reality" skill has been upgraded to the fifth level before. He can be regarded as a supreme powerhouse, using the "Eye of Trueness" skill of the fifth level to spy on the new king.
Compared with direct mental power detection, the biggest advantage of the "Eye of Truth" skill is that it is difficult to detect, and it can basically hide it from life forms that are one level stronger than him.
Theoretically speaking, Su Ze's sensory tentacles can now hide from legendary powerhouses and sixth-level beasts, and will not be discovered at all.
What is the strength of that new king? Will I be caught spying on it with my sensory tentacles?
The news from the Mother Tree and Lin Hua Kingdom all said that a new king was about to be born, and "soon" meant, which meant that the current new king was not worthy of his name, and had not truly become a seventh-level god-level beast.
That is still the sixth level, my sensory tentacles should not be able to detect it...
It should be true. If it really became a seventh-level alien beast, it would have attacked Lin Huazhou personally. Unless those aliens had some trump cards, Blue Star humans would have no way to resist in front of a god-level alien beast. force.
After much thought, Su Ze decided to take a risk and use his sensory tentacles to spy on the new king's reality.
He chose to take risks, not to satisfy his curiosity, but because of the magical golden energy.
Having personally experienced the magic of golden energy, Su Ze was eager to know the source of that golden energy. If there was a chance, it would be best to get more of it.
He is only at the Overlord level now. The subsequent Supreme level and Legend level need to absorb two tubes of high-level extracts, adding up to four tubes of extracts. If there is not enough golden energy to help, he does not know how many years it will take to reach the level. Complete digestion of these four tubes of extract.
The goal Su Ze set for himself was to become a god-level powerhouse.
He never thought about being a savior, but whether it was to protect himself or to complete the mother tree's commission, he had to become a god-level powerhouse.
Only by becoming a god can one leave Blue Star and break out of this chaotic quagmire.
Judging from the current situation, there is not much time left for him to grow with peace of mind. He needs to use external forces to speed up, and golden energy is currently the most suitable thing he has encountered.
As long as he has enough golden energy, it is entirely possible for him to become a god quickly.
So he decided to take the risk...
Of course, don't be too reckless.
Su Ze separated a clone and controlled the clone to slowly fall into the trench.
Whether it is his body or his avatar, he is in a liquid state and blends with the sea water, making it extremely difficult to detect.
The clone also has a soul and body and can release any of Su Ze's skills.
The biggest limitation is that the clones cannot be too far apart, otherwise the connection will be broken, causing the smaller group of clones to lose control and "die".
However, Su Ze did not intend to let the clone dive directly to the bottom of the trench, and just stopped at the entrance of the trench.
The clone kept an extreme distance from him, and then began to use the "Eye of Reality" skill, allowing the clone to emit sensory tentacles to spy on the new king at the bottom of the sea.
In this way, even if he is noticed by the new king, Su Ze can directly abandon the clone and escape quickly.
The sensory tentacles released by the clones covered the bottom of the trench, and Su Ze finally saw what the beasts were worshiping.
That's...a big pineapple?
Su Ze was a little unsure.
At first glance, there is a yellow thing stuck on the bottom of the sea. It is round, more than ten meters high, and covered with thorn-like bumps, just like a big pineapple.
But if you take a closer look, it seems that there is something different.
It doesn't have the spiny leaves of a pineapple on the top, and I haven't heard of pineapples growing on the bottom of the sea.
Is this thing the new king of the alien beasts?
Su Ze felt a little different from what he thought.
He thought that the new king of the alien beasts was some kind of majestic and domineering guy, but he didn't expect that he was something like a big pineapple under the sea.
Moreover, when his sensory tentacles came into contact with the big pineapple, it didn't react at all.
It seemed that his previous worries were overblown.
Su Ze used the sensory tentacles to test again. Seeing that the big pineapple never responded, he became bolder and used the sensory tentacles to conduct a 360-degree inspection of the big pineapple without blind spots.
After carefully investigating the big pineapple, Su Ze suddenly thought of a marine animal - ascidian!
He discovered that this big pineapple seemed to be a sea squirt.
Sea squirts are amazing animals that many people mistake for plants.
When they are young, they look like tadpoles, have big heads, and are good at swimming.
A few hours after birth, they will find a suitable object to attach to, "take root" like a plant, and begin their retrograde metamorphosis.
In the process, part of their bodies will degenerate, they will lose their ability to move, and what's even more awesome is that they will eat their own brains!
From then on, they became brainless, unable to move, unable to eat, and could only absorb and spit out water.
Logically speaking, the chance of such low-level animals evolving into alien beasts is very slim, but even coral polyps have evolved into fifth-level alien beasts, so the appearance of an alien sea squirt here is not that surprising.
I just don’t know if this guy grew his brain back after evolving into a strange beast.
If it has not grown a brain, then it is normal for it to not respond to its own exploration.
"Huh..." Su Ze suddenly detected a gap on the surface of the sea squirt.
It seemed like someone had opened a door in the sea squirt.
Just as Su Ze was about to put his sensing tentacles in, he saw the "door" suddenly opened.
Someone really opened a door in the sea squirt, and the door was not small, four or five meters high.
"Am I wrong? The sea squirt is not the new king of the strange beasts, but the thing living in the sea squirt?
"That's right, how can a brainless thing become the king!"
Although the door was opened, it was only opened a crack, and a pair of vertical eyes poked out.
Those small eyes seemed to reveal caution and caution, as well as a somewhat wretched temperament.
Only the eyes are exposed, and no other parts are exposed.
Those eyes reminded Su Ze of a crab's eyes.
Is the new king a crab?
His eyes alone revealed a wretched temperament, which seemed a bit inconsistent with Su Ze's understanding of the "new king".
Su Ze didn't know if the guy behind the door could detect his sensory tentacles, but he still tried to stick his sensory tentacles behind the door to get a glimpse of the new king.
He saw a red guy behind the door sneaking between the cracks in the door, looking around with his little eyes.
It was a strange beast that looked like both a crab and a shrimp. It had a long "tail" that was curled up into a U-shape. Its abdomen was different from that of a shrimp or crab, and looked very weak and fragile at first glance.
Hermit crab.
Su Ze recognized it at a glance as a hermit crab that is common on the beach.
However, this hermit crab is very large, three to four meters tall, and it has no "house".
Too big and can't find a suitable house?
That shouldn't be the case, there are many kinds of conchs and strange beasts in the ocean.
Su Ze suddenly understood that this sea squirt was its "house".
The hermit crab is bullying the other person's lack of brains and forcibly possessing the sea squirt.
But why can this hermit crab become the "new king"? It doesn’t even look like that piece of material!
And the hermit crab is obviously not aware of the existence of sensory tentacles.
Obviously, it is just a sixth-level alien beast after it dies. Whether it is in the ocean or on land, there are many ferocious sixth-level alien beasts. Why can it become the new king?
For a moment, Su Ze couldn't tell whether the so-called new king was a sea squirt or a hermit crab.
Or maybe he guessed wrong...
There is no so-called new king here at all. It’s just that this hermit crab has some way of bewitching the minds of beasts, so that these strange marine beasts can listen to its instructions?
In short, even if the hermit crab is not the new king, it is definitely not simple. Just because it can allow so many strange beasts to worship, even fourth- and even fifth-level beasts, it is definitely not simple.
But regardless of whether it was the new king or not, Su Ze actually didn't care that much. What he really cared about was the golden energy.
His sensory tentacles quickly swept through the inside of the sea squirt, and found that this hermit crab was quite enjoying it. It was really not polite at all, and it hollowed out the inside of the sea squirt, creating a comfortable little nest for himself.
In particular, there is a special "storage room" dug out, which contains some of the hermit crab's belongings.
Su Ze sensed that the tentacles swept across the "storage room" and found something. There were actually two "gold mines" hidden there!
They were two fist-sized stones containing rich golden energy.
"Is this some kind of evolutionary ore that I've never heard of? Or is it just an ordinary stone soaked with golden energy?"
Su Ze was not sure, but the golden energy he extracted from killing strange beasts could not be stored in the body for a long time, but the golden energy in this stone seemed to be preserved for a long time.
Su Ze was interested in those two "gold mines", but after thinking about it, he felt that it was too difficult.
The hermit crab beast looks a bit insignificant, but its level is definitely not low, so he should be no match for it.
And this guy is too cautious, even opening the door just a crack. Even if he sneaks into the sea squirt, once the hermit crab closes the door, he will be trapped inside.
It feels like it’s not worthwhile to take such a big risk just for those two “gold mines”.
The golden energy contained in the two "gold mines" is large but limited. It is better for him to go back and kill more strange beasts and extract them slowly. There is no risk.
What Su Ze wants to know even more is where these two "gold mines" came from.
And where did the golden dust in the sea mud at the bottom of the trench come from?
He turned his attention to other places in the trench, trying to find some clues. His sensory tentacles penetrated the sea mud underground and sensed the golden dust mixed in the mud and algae that was invisible to the naked eye.
It seems that the closer you get to the sea mud where the sea squirts are, the more golden dust they contain.
With a thought in his mind, Su Ze reached out with his tentacles of perception toward the ground. The golden dust seemed to be only sprinkled on the surface of the sea mud. Less than half a meter underground, no golden dust could be seen at all.
But when Su Ze's sensory tentacles reached under the sea mud where the sea squirt was rooted, it was suddenly bounced away!
Su Ze was shocked. This was the first time he encountered such a situation. Could it be that someone discovered the sensory tentacles.
He once again carefully controlled the sensory tentacles to move closer to the bottom of the sea squirt. This time he used full speed and got closer bit by bit, and finally saw a patch of purple!
It seemed to be a purple barrier. He tried hard to see what was inside the barrier, but as soon as he got closer, he was bounced away again.
But Su Ze discovered that there was a circle of golden gravel around the purple barrier!
What exuded from it was the golden energy he was familiar with.
Although it is much smaller than the two "gold mines" of the hermit crab, the advantage is that there are more of them. The sum of the bits and pieces is definitely larger than the two "gold mines" of the hermit crab.
Sure enough... Su Ze guessed that within the purple barrier, it was most likely the source of golden energy.
There should be more "gold mines" within the purple barrier!
After thinking about it, Su Ze felt that if he went back like this, he might not be able to sleep at night.
Even if you don’t say how much “gold mine” you can get, you must at least understand what is going on.
Of course, it would be better if you can make a fortune easily.
Compared with the golden energy extracted from killing strange beasts, the biggest advantage of the "gold mine" is that it can be stored, and he can use it at any time when digesting the extract in the future.
Of course the more of this kind of thing the better.
He decided to go down and give it a try to see if he could gain anything and discover anything.
Su Ze's willingness to take risks is also related to the fact that sea squirts and hermit crabs don't seem very smart.
Of course, he still only planned to let his clone go down, dive down in liquid form, quietly explore the situation under the bottom of the sea squirt, and grab some "gold".
