In a deep mine were gigantic people wearing black robes that did not fit. They were dancing next to a pile of minerals and worshipping Cthulhu’s god name loudly.
The black-robed people kneeled onto the ground together when Ke Meng’s consciousness arrived. They were kowtowing at the big puddle in the mine.
The black robes that covered their bodies were not the attire they usually wore. Perhaps it was the costume they had prepared for the ceremony.
At that moment, a black-robed person with ‘ Stone Person (Elite Monster)’ title above his head held a steel spear with both hands lifted high. He was crawling while still kneeling.
“Oh, the almighty Cthulhu, we’re the Stone People Tribe, your loyal servants!
“We’ve been stuck on this mine for years. We want to get out of here and regain our freedom!
“Please accept this insignificant sacrifice.”
They were the Stone People Tribe. They had only been deluded by the black ghost recently, whereby they had just begun worshipping the almighty evil god Cthulhu.
The ghosts had no mission on hand since the adventurers had gone offline together. They could only go to the local little monsters. Meanwhile, the Stone People Mountain Village was where the new fanatics gathered.
The Stone People Tribe guarded the mine, where the mineral resources were rich and came with spacetime rock powder. They succeeded in gaining Boss Ke’s attention from the first summoning ceremony.
The Elite Stone Person was anxious. To be honest, they did not have any treasures here, only shiny ores.
However, the ores’ grade was too low. They were everywhere in the mine, so they were not rare enough.
They were worried that Boss Ke would not be interested, so they sacrificed the only spear in a rock found in the mine.
The steel spear had been pierced into the spacetime rock long ago. There were three prongs on the spear, which was pierced sturdily in the rock. The Stone People failed to pull it out.
Fortunately, the Stone People Tribe had the ability to munch minerals. Although the spacetime rock was the ore that was hardest to munch in the mine, they crushed the spacetime rock beneath the trident as time passed by, while the trident remained intact.
The Stone People had no idea what it was in the beginning. However, the trident would always pierce and kill some random creatures out of nowhere when the warriors in the tribe used it to fight.
It would kill a bug sometimes, a massive crocodile sometimes… and the baby of the Stone People Tribe.
Since a baby had been killed, the tribe people had sealed the random, strange weapon and no longer used it.
The Elite Stone Person figured out that perhaps such a rare weapon would attract Boss Ke’s attention.
He placed the strange trident into the puddle. It was heavy, so it sank into the puddle directly.
There were many similar puddles in the mine. The mine would be drowned in water during rainstorm season—that was how the puddles came about.
In R’lyeh, Ke Meng heard the fanatic’s request. He checked his skill slot quietly, looking for a usable skill.
‘They want to live outside the mine?’
That sounded very simple, and all he had to do was to toss them out of the mine.
However, that was the problem. They did not realize that they were monsters that were set to live in a territory. The game’s rule was to restrict them in the mine region. They would return to the mine as soon as they stepped out of it. There was no way that they could escape.
Ke Meng could ignore their request and give them a Random Gain Magic directly.
However, Boss Ke was very curious about the Stone People. He was eager to find out if they could get out of the mine by using an evil god’s power.
He wondered, ‘Is an evil god’s ability more powerful or the game’s system?’
According to the laws of the game, naturally, the game’s system would be more powerful than the Boss.
However, he would not assume that before he tried it. Ke Meng wanted to challenge that.
Soon, He found a dimensional skill.
The Water-Mirror Teleportation.
It was a dimensional skill that relied on the water environment. It allowed Boss Ke to teleport from the water surface to another water area.
For instance, if Boss Ke shoved his head into the ocean water, he would get out from another ocean.
The water surface would be the dimensional portal, connecting two different water regions.
However, He could not use this skill. The Elder God’s Seal had prohibited His mobility skills.
Boss Ke soon found another way of using the skill since He could not use it now.
One would need to learn from the basics if they were unable to use the skill.
Nobody knew everything in the beginning. All people had to start from zero. From the basics, they learned to possess rich knowledge by learning step by step.
Boss Ke was an example of great knowledge. However, Ke Meng did not take the initiative to transmit the knowledge to them. He was worried the knowledge would be too overwhelming to them, and their heads might explode.
After all, in the Cthulhu Mythos, those investigators knew too much, and it drove them insane as they could not handle it.
As Ke Meng made up his mind, his consciousness was active. He transmitted the Water-Mirror Teleportation’s knowledge over.
There was a Knowledge Transmission skill in his skill slot. There was not much explanation—it was used to transmit knowledge.
A couple of seconds later, Ke Meng saw many Stone People in black robes screaming in the mine.
“I see it, I see it!”
“Oh, the almighty god!”
Countless Stone People held their heads as they heard illusive mumbles in their ears. They had a face mask covering their faces, but they saw layers of hallucinations.
There was one lake after another. They saw a lake with greenies surrounding it, a lake with a breeze and the sound of leaves brushing against each other, and an endless ocean surface.
There were ripples on the water initially. However, under some unknown force’s influence, the ripples on the water disappeared.
The water was as still as a mirror, reflecting the sky perfectly.
There was an echoing voice in their heads, and it was ringing, “Teleport… water… mirror…”
The voice was echoing. It was changed to other languages, telling them how to calm the water in different ways. The voice was ringing.
However, nobody could hear the complete content. Not even one person could!
The Elite Stone Person had a bunch of messy images in his head. He knew how terrifying the evil god was. He tried his very best to remain calm, as well as memorizing the few images that gave him deep impressions.
Perhaps that was the direction Boss Ke gave to the tribe.
Calm the water and teleport to the other world.
However, some of the Stone People lost their minds and kept screaming, “Teleport, teleport, teleport!”
Or some screamed, “Water, water, water. I need water!”
Insane, almost all of them had lost their minds.
In an unknown cloud of mist above the puddle, Boss Ke saw everyone’s reaction, which was crazy talk. Nobody could tell how to really use the skill. He was deeply disappointed.
‘These NPCs are too weak. They can’t even bear knowledge transmission. They’re not even worthy of being used for experiments.’
