The distance between Su Ze and the clone couldn't be too far, so he dived his body down to near the entrance of the trench, and then controlled the small group of clones to dive to the bottom of the trench.
The clone also carried a storage ring with him, but it was disguised and could not be seen from the outside. The ring was also disguised as transparent.
Alien beasts kept coming in and out of the trench. Because there were too many alien beasts and they were too crowded, Su Ze's clone had no way to avoid it. Alien beasts kept passing through the clone's body, but no alien beast noticed anything unusual.
It feels the same as swimming normally in sea water.
After Su Ze's "liquid clone" was upgraded, it was already a magical skill of disguise, and it didn't even need to be disguised in the water, it was completely natural.
The clone continued to dive and soon reached the bottom of the trench.
He did not collect the fragments of "golden sand" in the sea mud, but passed over the worshiping beasts and went straight to the sea squirt.
Su Ze originally thought about diving directly into the sea mud under the sea squirt, but he didn't expect that the hermit crab that just opened a crack in the door and poked out a pair of eyes suddenly opened the door and got out.
Su Ze passed by it, and his heart suddenly rose to his throat, for fear of being discovered by it.
But the hermit crab didn't notice it at all. It took two steps forward in a swaggering manner, with its head held high and its chest high, looking at the worshiping strange beasts in front of it.
Those small, raised eyes clearly conveyed its emotional state at this time, as if the word "proud" was engraved on its hard-shell face.
A group of alien beasts were extremely respectful to the hermit crabs, especially the weak alien beasts, who were so afraid that they lay on the ground and did not dare to get up.
The hermit crab seemed to enjoy the admiration and awe of other beasts. It stood up with its upper body raised, two large turtles on its waist, and strong mental fluctuations swept around it, as if it was lecturing a group of beasts.
Feeling the terrifying mental fluctuations emanating from the hermit crab, Su Ze's heart palpitated, and he was finally convinced that this wretched crab was really a sixth-order alien beast!
How come any cat or dog can turn into a sixth-level alien beast?
Su Ze looked at the large open door on the sea squirt and the hermit crab talking boastfully and giving advice, and suddenly had a bold idea...
At this time, he sneaked in and stole the two "gold mines" from the hermit crab. He should not be discovered, right?
Anyway, it was only a small group of clones. If they were lost, they would be lost. Su Ze emboldened himself and sneaked into the sea squirt.
Based on the slow sensing ability displayed by the hermit crab, he felt that he had a low chance of being discovered. Even if he was discovered, the hermit crab seemed to have no way to trace his true body. All he had to do was abandon his clone and retreat.
Su Ze got into the sea squirt and had such close contact. He felt the life from the sea squirt, which meant that this big guy was still alive.
It is indeed a brainless thing. Even if it evolves into a strange beast, it is still brainless. Even if someone digs a hole in the body and makes a home, there is no reaction.
Su Ze groped along the yellow inner wall of the sea squirt's body and quickly found a hollowed-out grid. In addition to two "gold mines", there were only some junk inside.
Scratched glass marbles, whitish fish bones, moss-covered tennis balls...
I don’t know where the hermit crab collects these rags from. Maybe some of them are garbage thrown into the sea by humans, but it actually keeps them as treasures.
Su Ze only quietly took away the two "gold mines" and put them quietly into the storage ring he carried with him.
Then he withdrew from the sea squirt, spread out his body, spread it thin, and squeezed into the sea mud below little by little.
The sea mud was already full of water, so he forced himself to replace the water and blend into the sea mud.
Sure enough, he saw fine golden gravels in the soil under the sea squirt. These gravels were also precious, and Su Ze collected them bit by bit.
He remembered the location of the purple barrier and did not approach the purple barrier for the time being. Instead, he planned to slowly collect all the golden rubble around him and then explore slowly.
After a while, Su Ze collected all the golden gravel around the purple barrier.
He thought briefly and controlled the clone to retreat.
After all, so much "gold mine" has been collected, and Su Ze plans to make sure it is safe first, otherwise if the clone has an accident during the subsequent exploration and cannot collect it, the loss will be huge.
The hermit crab is still giving an impassioned "speech", stopping from time to time, looking like it "understands the applause", waiting for the audience's response.
At this time, a group of strange beasts would dance on the spot, grab the ground with their heads, or make various cheers with strange sounds.
The hermit crab is intoxicated and cannot extricate himself.
Su Ze's clone Qiao Mimi passed by the hermit crab, floated all the way up, and came to the main body, leaving behind the storage ring containing many "gold mines", and then dived to the bottom of the trench again.
The main body put away the storage ring and felt the rich golden energy contained in the small pile of "gold mines", especially the two large gold mines from the hermit crabs. The golden energy on them almost overflowed.
Su Ze felt a lot more at ease. With these "gold mines" in his pocket, this adventure was already a profitable one.
At this time, he can safely let the clone go on a suicidal exploration.
What he has to do now is, if something happens to the clone, he will immediately cut off contact and not involve the main body.
Su Ze's clone passed by the hermit crab again and went straight to the bottom of the sea squirt. This time he moved directly towards the purple barrier.
After close contact, he finally saw the purple barrier clearly. It was also at this distance that he discovered that the purple barrier was not purely purple, but also mixed with traces of blue.
According to inference, purple represents the god level that has evolved seven times, just like the blood crystal containing the prototype of divine skills is also purple.
So there was a purple barrier here, and Su Ze immediately thought of the legendary "New King", which was said to be about to complete its seventh evolution and become a god-level beast.
And now this purple barrier mixed with blue seems to fit the description of the new king. He has already stepped into the god level, but has not yet fully become the god level, so it is still mixed with the blue energy that symbolizes the sixth level.
Could it be that this purple barrier was really made by the new king?
Su Ze's sensory tentacles could not pass through the purple barrier, and would even be bounced away once they touched the purple barrier. He did not dare to use his mental power. With sixth-level alien beasts present, his mental power could easily be detected.
He could only get as close as possible and use his "sight" to see. Even in a liquid state without eyes, Su Ze still had the ability to see.
He tried his best to disguise himself as sea water and stuck to the purple barrier. Fortunately, the barrier did not bounce away from him, but the purple and blue energy that continued to flow on the barrier also greatly hindered his sight.
He could only vaguely see the golden glow inside...
Is it all a "gold mine"?
Su Ze's heart was pounding.
This purple barrier covers a circular area with a diameter of six to seven meters and a depth of about five meters. If it were all "gold mines", it would be of immeasurable value.
If there really were so many gold mines, wouldn't he be able to reach god level as long as he collected a few tubes of high-level extracts?
But he was a little unsure because he couldn't see it clearly.
He continued to push forward, seeming to push away an energy film on the surface of the barrier, as if a curtain had been lifted, and the scene in front of him suddenly became clear.
There are indeed many "gold mines", but not as many as he imagined...
There are golden things everywhere in the barrier, but it is not gold mines, but a piece of stuff filled with dense holes. It is attached to several large pieces of "gold mines" and seems to be slowly absorbing golden energy.
Is this a strange beast or a spiritual plant?
Su Ze was a little unsure. The golden thing had an irregular shape and was scrawled on the "gold mine" randomly. It looked soft and easy to pinch.
sponge?
Su Ze suddenly thought of this extremely simple animal.
This golden thing looks somewhat similar to the common sponges in life, but most of the sponges we usually see are artificial sponges.
But Su Ze knew that the earliest sponges used by people were natural and made from a kind of marine animal.
Sponges are called sponges because they were originally animals that lived in the sea.
Can a sponge become a strange beast?
Don't tell him that the so-called "new king" is a sponge!
You must know that sponges, sea squirts, and corals are all extremely low-level animals and have almost no hope of becoming exotic beasts.
Including the hermit crab, it looked like trash.
But it seems that under the influence of golden energy, these animals not only became alien beasts, but also grew very quickly, and they all became holy-level alien beasts.
Mud can also hold up the wall!
Su Ze was still waiting to observe more to further verify his guess, when he saw that the thing that looked like a sponge in the barrier actually moved.
It quickly gathered together and turned into a ball. Looking at it now, it looked more like a sponge.
Su Ze is now basically certain that this thing is a sponge that has become a spirit.
He suddenly had a bad feeling that he seemed to be being watched by someone.
This feeling comes from the clone and does not extend to the main body at the entrance of the trench.
Could it be...
Just as he expected, the spherical sponge jumped up like the "facehugger" in the movie and went directly towards him.
The purple barrier that separated the two sides opened a crack at the same time, and an irresistible suction pulled Su Ze's liquid body towards the sponge.
The surrounding sea mud and sea water poured into the purple barrier crazily, and were all absorbed by the sponge. From the sea mud at the bottom of the sea squirt, a passage was sucked out directly that could allow an adult man to pass through. Several unlucky alien beasts were not able to pass through. On guard, he was sucked in by the suction force.
As soon as those strange beasts touched the sponge, they were sucked into the sponge's body as if they were made of water.
The sponge, which has absorbed a large amount of sea water, sea mud, and several strange beasts, does not seem to have any change in size.
The sudden change also shocked the beasts who were listening to the hermit crab's speech, but the one who reacted the most was the sixth-level hermit crab.
This guy was so frightened that he ran back to the sea squirt in a panic, but couldn't find the door for a while. He walked around half a circle before finding the open door. After getting into the sea squirt, he immediately closed the door tightly. superior.
Su Ze's liquid clone didn't even have a chance to resist. It was immediately absorbed into the sponge's pores, and the screen suddenly went black.
Su Ze decisively cut off the contact with the clone, and swam away as quickly as possible without causing any noise, towards the coast of Dongli Country.
But before leaving, he left a fist-sized liquid clone behind to observe the situation behind him.
He saw that ball of sponge emerging from the ground, and saw countless strange beasts trembling and crawling...
I also saw a hermit crab wailing in pain when he returned to his "house" and discovered that his two "gold mines" were missing...
After that, he lost sight of his clone, not because he was too far away and lost contact, but because he was discovered by the sponge beast and directly absorbed his clone.
Su Ze didn't know if the sponge beast would catch up, but he didn't speed up and run away, because that would probably expose him.
He stopped, paying attention to the changes in the surrounding seawater, completely integrating his liquid state into the sea, paying attention to the flow of the seawater, paying attention to the ups and downs and speed of the water, and controlling himself to synchronize with the seawater and become one.
He is no longer "another mass of water in the ocean" but part of the ocean.
Su Ze knew that from the perspective of human evolution, when a suspicious intruder is discovered, the first thing to do is to use mental power to find the target.
So he guessed that the sponge beast would probably do the same. He had to be seamless and completely integrated with the sea water to be able to deceive the other party's mental power.
Soon, Su Ze suddenly felt his heart palpitation for no reason. He suspected that the spiritual power of the sponge beast had swept over him.
After a while, there was no movement. Su Ze felt relieved and knew that he had probably been fooled.
He didn't expect that there was such a guy under the big pineapple.
Now it seems that the sponge beast is the real "new king". It is powerful and has already entered the god level with one foot.
The hermit crab and sea squirt are probably the close subordinates of the sponge beast.
With the help of these two sleeping dragons and phoenixes, Su Ze suddenly felt that this new king would not be able to achieve greatness.
Although he guessed that he had successfully passed the test, Su Ze did not act rashly. He still kept strictly in sync with the sea water and moved slowly along the flow of the sea water.
It wasn't until most of the day passed, and he was getting farther and farther away from the trench with the water, that he suddenly accelerated and fled towards the Dongli coast.
Along the way, he realized that he didn't seem to encounter many strange beasts, and the tide of beasts seemed to have stopped.
This made him slightly disappointed as he still wanted to continue to use the golden energy.
At this time, his "blood-devouring" skill had long been cut off, and all the strength blessings given to him were gone. He was used to the powerful feeling before, but now that he was knocked back to his original form, he was really not used to it.
…
Li Yongguan and Ye Jin, with their own team of a thousand people, rushed all the way to support, but when they arrived at the beach, they saw the Dongli soldiers busy.
Some people were busy collecting trophies, while others were busy beating up strange beasts.
Basically, at least five or six Dongli soldiers fight against a strange beast. It seems that the force is quite sufficient, even excessive.
Li Yongguan and Ye Jin looked at each other. Didn't they say that the front line was full of beasts and the defense was tight?
Is the information wrong?
But now that they are here, of course they have to train these new recruits. Li Yongguan and Ye Jin ordered their ten recruits to go out to kill the alien beasts in teams of ten.
But before they could do anything, the beast tide retreated...
What's going on? Did their arrival scare the beasts away?
Li Yongguan didn't think he had such a big face, so he took Ye Jin to find his father, Li Fayi, to inquire about the situation.
"Su Ze is an awesome kid..." Li Fayi clicked his tongue and looked at Li Yongguan, his son who had always been very up to date and made him proud. When compared to Su Ze, he suddenly felt uncomfortable.
Li Fayi recounted everything Su Ze did after coming to the front line...
"Uncle Li, you mean Su Ze...General Su killed tens of thousands of alien beasts by himself, and even drove away the fifth-level alien beasts, turning the situation around?" Ye Jin's mouth opened slightly, and his eyes were big. Full of surprise.
"That's right! If you don't believe me, ask your grandma." Li Fanyi didn't want to talk to Ye Jin anymore, for fear that it would be endless, so he quickly turned the conversation to Ning Yushen.
Just at this moment, Ning Yushen also came over, and Ye Jin quickly looked at her for confirmation.
Ning Yushen nodded: "I even suspect that the beast tide suddenly stopped, maybe it has something to do with him. He hasn't seen anyone all day and night, and I don't know what he did."
"Then our trip was not in vain?" Li Yongguan was a little unwilling. He also wanted to prove himself on the battlefield and let his father see how good his training was.
Ye Jin was also a little helpless. The other generals were either sitting in the rear and strategizing, or they were leading the battle and taking the lead in the charge.
Su Ze is good, his main goal is to kill all the enemies by himself, so that his soldiers have no enemies to kill.
When they arrived, all that was left was to shout "666".
What kind of military training is this? Let’s just lead a cheerleading team.
On the other side, Aunt Yun and Brother Ya became more and more worried. Day and night passed, and there was still no news about Su Ze.
At this moment, Brother Ya was holding his spiritual communication phone and suddenly became excited.
"There's a signal, the boss is back!"
Aunt Yun took out her mobile phone and saw that it was indeed the case. The two of them did not call Su Ze, but waited patiently on the beach.
A moment later, a 100-meter-high raging wave rose into the sky and landed on the beach, immediately transforming into Su Ze's appearance.
He breathed a sigh of relief. It was the first time he had been floating in the sea for so long. As soon as he landed, he immediately felt a solid feeling under his feet.
"Boss, where have you been?"
"Went to the source of the beast tide."
Aunt Yun and Brother Ya both looked slightly moved, and when they were about to ask again, they saw more and more people surrounding them.
Su Ze's appearance attracted many soldiers, and they all expressed their gratitude and respect to Su Ze. Without Su Ze's action, more soldiers would have died in the beast wave, and each of them might have been the next casualty.
In this single battle, Su Ze established his prestige in the military.
"Okay, you all should stand down. General Su must be tired after returning from the battle." Ning Yushen's voice came, causing the soldiers to retreat one after another.
Not only Ning Yushen, Li Fayi and Dongli Holy Envoy also flew over when they saw Su Ze coming back.
When Su Ze saw a group of Dongli senior officials surrounding him, he pointed to the naval base not far away and said, "Let's go in and talk."
…
In a spacious conference room in the naval base.
Here are gathered the five patron saints of Dongli and the supreme holy envoys.
Su Ze then told what he had discovered during his trip to the depths of the Central Sea.
There was nothing to hide. Except for the golden energy thing, which he didn't say, he basically talked about the rest.
"You said you saw the 'new king' of the legendary beast?" Holy Envoy Dongli said in shock.
Su Ze nodded slightly: "It shouldn't be wrong. I saw that most of its evolutionary power has turned purple, and all the strange beasts have surrendered to it."
"So the 'new king' initiated this beast tide that swept across Linhua Continent? Why did it do this?" Li Fayi asked a little strangely.
"Yes, as long as it quietly completes its seventh evolution and becomes a god-level life, it will be able to crush Lin Huazhou by then. Why does it need to create so many complications?" Ning Yushen was also very puzzled.
Aunt Yun also nodded: "And since the beast wave has been launched, why did it suddenly stop?"
Su Ze frowned and thought for a few seconds. Thinking that the beast tide only stopped after the sponge beast was lured out by him, he suddenly came up with a conjecture...
Is it possible that it was not the new king who ordered the beast tide, but his "crab-headed strategist" hermit crab?
The new King Sponge goes into seclusion to reach the god level. Military Advisor Crab is good at making decisions and calls on alien beasts to launch an attack on Lin Huazhou...
To say that this stupid decision came from that hermit crab that didn't look very smart, Su Ze immediately wasn't surprised. He even thought it was reasonable.
After the new king Sponge was disturbed by Su Ze and came out of seclusion, he immediately stopped the beast tide.
Thinking about it this way, it seems to be correct.
Sure enough, he said that the new king would not be able to go far with the help of Crouching Dragon and Phoenix!
Take jujube pills!
But this was just Su Ze's guess, and he didn't say it out loud.
"I have to report this matter to the dominant country immediately." Holy Envoy Dongli stood up and said, he took this matter very seriously, "Let's see if there is any hope to eradicate this new king before he becomes a god!"
The combat power of alien beasts is worse than that of human evolvers of the same level, and the higher the level, the more obvious it is.
As long as the new king of sponges has not truly become a god, there is still hope that several human legends can defeat it by joining forces and taking advantage of the superiority of intelligent life in combat power.
Su Ze watched the Holy Envoy of Dongli walk out of the conference room without saying anything else.
Although he had a favorable impression of the holy envoy and had more trust in him, he had no intention of telling him about the alien invasion to avoid any accidents.
Even if they had to say it, it would be up to Chen Suifeng and the others to judge whether the Holy Envoy of Dongli was trustworthy and worth wooing.
"Although the beast tide has receded this time, other countries are said to have suffered serious losses. We, Dongli, are very lucky." Aunt Yun said and glanced at Su Ze.
Others also looked at Su Ze, knowing that if Su Ze hadn't taken action this time, Dongli Country would have suffered serious losses.
Dongli was able to defend it mainly by relying on the Holy Envoy of Dongli in the early stage. He held down two fifth-level beasts by himself, and the defense line had long been breached.
In the later period, it was mainly Su Ze who turned the situation around.
At this moment, the five people's cell phones suddenly rang in unison.
There is news from the "Guardian Saint of Dongli" group.
They took out their phones and looked at them, and their expressions changed at the same time.
This chapter will be published first. There will be another chapter later in the morning to make up for the three thousand words I owed.
(End of chapter)
