"A group of deformed species are enshrined deep within the temple."
"The main body is grayish green, like deep seaweed. Most of the torso is polished and has high scaly ridges on its back."
"There are vaguely humanoid shapes, but they are definitely not human beings! It has nothing to do with it! Because the heads of these creatures are obviously fish, with eyeballs that are not huge and protrude.
You can even see gills on both sides of the neck, and the long hands and feet are webbed..."
The door to the captain's cabin is locked.
A closed-door meeting is taking place here.
Lu Li looked at the sailor in front of him who had difficulty breathing due to recalling the past, and while speaking to comfort him, he cast a Holy Light spell to make him regain his senses.
It’s hard to start over again, but it’s not worth it to be scared to death by the memory...
Finally, the breathing rhythm gradually stabilized.
In order to prevent this guy from being stimulated again and losing his mind, Lu Li changed the subject of his inquiry.
I saw him casually taking out a piece of paper and a paintbrush he borrowed from somewhere, and began to doodle, much like a child doodling.
However, as the image gradually took shape, a thin layer of cold sweat began to form on the foreheads of the sailors.
"so?"
What Lu Li drew was the deep diver, and the details were perfect. After all, the other person, as a lower race, had been pushed to the dissection table more than once.
It is reported that this is an amphibious race that mainly worships Cthulhu and the gods known as "Father God Dagon and Mother Goddess Hydra".
The latter is located at the end of the line of gods in the Cthulhu mythology.
"That's right." The third officer nodded with difficulty.
Yang Kai looked serious.
As a novelty seeker, it is impossible for him to ignore this niche myth. On the contrary, he has a lot of personal understanding.
It is true that the deep diver looks very imbecile in appearance, like a deformed frog man, but he is indeed an immortal species. He will never die unless he is killed, and he has high intelligence that is not weaker than that of humans.
Lu Li had personally dissected this creature and submitted an 8,000-word dissection report, so he knew significantly more information——
In order to make up the word count, I could only describe the process and results while also trying to make up for the word count to satisfy Bai Xiao.
This creature has lived in the deep sea for a long time, and it is true that it uses gills to breathe, but they can use their sticky skin to perform most of the functions of their gills and survive on land.
"Due to their body structure, once ashore, their movements will be more clumsy than in the deep sea, and their combat effectiveness will decline accordingly."
Taking this opportunity, Lu Li learned some knowledge from Miss Mia, the only combatant in his team.
"I have seen a fish-man legend in the magic books, which is very similar to the deep diver you mentioned."
The little head sticking out of his pocket spoke, but unfortunately only Lu Li and Mia could understand.
“They have a strange habit of mating with humans, giving birth to some hybrid species.
According to those senior magicians, at first, this group of green-skinned creatures would take the initiative to establish and promote relationships with isolated human communities, providing deep-sea gold treasures and rich catches in exchange for certain promises.
If there are scattered rejecters in the human population, this creature will confuse most people to deal with them internally.
Because they were an isolated community, their thoughts were extremely simple. With the beautiful and generous gifts, they began to regard each other as their master and selected young women to be sacrificed alive. …
The target community is gradually ruined, falling into despair, longing for more wealth, food and the promise of eternal life, and completely and readily accepts the faith of this group of deep-sea murlocs..."
There is no doubt that there were excellent investigators among the magicians in ancient times. He or they successfully observed the process of seducing humans by the deep divers, and made a summary to warn future generations.
While the little mouse was delivering a long speech, Lu Li successfully drew a vivid image:
"The sculpture enshrined in the center looks like this?"
"That's it!"
a sailor shouted.
The little mouse, which was hidden in Lu Li's pocket and held up by its pink paws, poked its head out and nodded in agreement:
"Um."
"It's exactly like what I saw in a hurry in the past. It was in the temple. It was coiled with pillars."
The picture shows Dagon, a god at the end of the line of rulers, the elder and father-god of the Cthulhu servant race the Deep Ones.
If it were just these, Lu Li wouldn't be too afraid. The key is that there is a terrifying existence above Dagon.
"Now I only have one doubt."
"Is there something else in the temple? Where did that group of black water pour in from? Why was it suddenly triggered?"
After finishing his words, Lu Li looked at everyone.
Whoever has the biggest fist has the absolute right to speak.
Some sailors are afraid of his power, while some are flexible and associate returning to the past with him, and decide to hold on to him.
As a result, many eyes fell on the captain and the third officer at the same time, and only the two of them noticed the dome of the temple.
Holy Light is activated.
In order to prevent the two of them from becoming crazy when reminiscing, Lu Li first helped strengthen their sanity. As for whether to recite the Bible later, it would depend on the situation.
There was a gloomy look on the captain's face, as if he was shrouded in the shadow cast by the chandelier.
"There is a painting there that looks like an octopus..."
"Okay, I know this."
Lu Li spoke decisively, indicating that he did not need to continue telling the story along with the images, and asked in a deep voice: "Is there anything else weird about it?"
"There is an eye that is bottomless."
The third officer spoke, his body shaking like chaff.
Before the situation worsened, Lu Li put his arm around his shoulders and recited the Bible: "I leave peace with you, and I give you my peace. What I give is not like what the world gives. Don't want it in your hearts." If you are sad, don’t be timid.”
The holy light shines brightly.
If he had a cross pendant in his hand, Lu Li felt that letting him kiss it, or for a longer period of time, would have a good effect.
After all, that's what serious priests do.
【saint】
Yang Kai, who was watching, thought so.
Gradually, the third officer calmed down, but being abnormally calm was not good. The whole person seemed to be in some strange state.
Therefore, Lu Li approached him and looked at him, as if he wanted to pass on more powerful power.
However……
As they looked at each other, strange things gradually appeared in the pupils of the third officer. There were no miscellaneous things, only an eye-shaped altar that looked like an abyss.
Let’s call it an altar.
There were various tadpole-shaped characters carved on it. Lu Li stared at it carefully regardless of anything else.
Looking through the medium, he seemed to have entered a different space, so that he could see more clearly.
The altar is extending into unknown depths. There is a white object on the outer circle that looks like a giant skeleton, and the bottom cannot be seen inside. It seems to be able to swallow all light.
"We will cross the black abyss."
"In the deep pen."
"We will live forever in..."
"In wonder and glory."
As Lu Li became more focused, the tadpole glyphs engraved on the altar began to rearrange themselves into something he could understand.
No outsider dared to disturb him until he came back to his senses and murmured:
"That's nonsense."
